creek bed on the north end of
the claims is virgin ground and
is very rich and should pay
enormously.
The Loon Creek Placer & Hyd-
raulic company was only organ
lied last fall, and the stock is
already increasing in value at a
rapid rate. We have every rea-
son to believe that this will be
paying proposition when the
company commences working
the ground, which will be as
soon as possible. We believe it
will pay from the start. 1t is
different from quartz mining, as
expensive mills or smelters are
not required and machinery, foi
the expense of getting in shape
and operating is small compared
with other classes of mining.
We are not booming" this com
pany to sell stock, for it is oul
opinion if managed properly the
ground will yield good profits.
This is not a paid write up
no do we hold one dollars worth
of stock in the company.

ing for a busy season in mining,
and the Lost Packer company |
and others are contemplating |
putting on a force of men to
open the wagon road over to
Jordan creek in the near future
in order to start operations as
soon as possible. Development
during the past winter have been
pushed forward with good re-
suits and show that the mines in
that locality to be of great value
and permanent.
Loon Creek this year will ex-
perience a great revival in plac
er mining that it has not expert
enced since the sixties, when the
camp was alive with placer min
ers and millions of dollars In
gold was taken out. In those
days were times of stampedes,
and mining carried on in limit
ed way with pick and pand SHOW
ell; with rockers and ground
sluice, so little deep mining was
done. This year, however, it is
proposed to placer mine at the
old camp on big scale by the
Loon Creek Placer & Hydraulic
company, mainly a Salt Lake
stock company with Mr.. John 2.
Boyle, vice-president of the com
pany, manager in charge at the
mines.
The company owns $40 acres
of placer bar ground, and by
tests made is said to be rich in
gold. It takes in an old creek
, bed 600 feet wide and two and a
half miles long, and this the new
company will work by building a
; 2600 feet to carry the water from
, Loon creek to the placer ground
with fall of 200 feet. The com
pany are putting in two six-inch
, giants, and with these will be
: able to handle vast amount of
< ground each day, and as Loon
5 creek has large volume of wat
a er all the year there is little
fear of water shortage. Late

SHIP TAKES STAND
TEsTIFIEs IN DEFENSE OF HIM.
 SELF AND DEPUTIES.
Sheriff Says He Was Made Prisoner In
 Jail And Could Do Nothing TO Prevent The
 Lynching.

Chattnooga, Tenn, June 27.-When the Shipp contempt case was called af- ter the luncheon recess, Sheriff shipp was called to the witness stand in de- fense of himself and his deputies.
 He told all the circumstances con nected with the lynching of Ed John son, from the time he first heard of a mob through the telephone sugges- ton of Attorney General w. N. Whit aker; how he rushed to the jail was captured by the mob and imprisoned in the bath room, while the mob took the negro and how he had done every thing in his power to protect the rapist from mob violence.
 Sheriff Shipp told of the events of the night of the lynching He went home at 6:30 o'clock that night to do some work at home. The attorney general called him up and told him there was a mob at the jail. He went there immediately, pushing his way through the crowd. He saw the night jailer in one corner of a room guard ed by three or four men. He started to his aid but was attacked from behind and made prisoner. He was so firmly held that physical resistance was use- less.
 The sheriff said he did not recognize any one he saw except Dr. Sutton, Night Jailer Gibson, Frank Stoops and two newspaper men. These, he said were not engaged in the lynching. Some of the lynchers were masked and oth- CTS were not. He was guarded closely while the mob secured the negro and got away.
 In answer to questions the Sherlf said that If he had it to do over again, he
 single man offered him helping hand; that he had but one pistol against many; that he was physically unable to withstand the attack of the crowd and that during the entire time he was in the jail he was under arrest.
 A diagram of the jail was offered in evidence, the Sheriff explaining his movements that night and showing the same on the diagram.
 At the morning session deputies Gal loway and Baker told of their part. They were both at the Eagles Club with Fred Frawley when some one coming In from the outside first brought the news of the mob. They immediately rushed from the room and to the jail. They found Captain Shipp who was much excited and who d. rected them to go to the bridge at once. Both of them, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Marion Perkins, armed themselves with rifles and caught a car whichswas just passing the door They went to the bridge but Johnson was dead and the mob had dispersed, though there were some seventy-fve bystanders on the bridge at that time. They remained short time and then went bac kto the Jail. Both of these witnesses had heard nothing to indf- cate that there was to be a lynchinE. MT. Galloway told how he had assist ed in protecting Johnson at the time of the first mob.
 The case was not completed. Court will convene at 9:So tomorrow morn- ing.

CONNECTS HANGED
THREE SENT INTO ETERNITY AT
 SAME TIME.
Five Minutes After Trap Was Sprung Men Were Pronounced Dead--NO Statements From the
 ScaGold.

Jefferson City, Mo, June 27.--Harry Vaughan and Edward Raymond, con- victs, sentenced to the penitentiary from St. Louis, and George Ryan, a convict sentenced from Kansas City, were hanged in the County jail here this morning for the killing of Prison Guard John Clay during a concerted attempt to escape from the peniten- tiary.
 The three were hanged at the same moment. Sheriff Scotts sprung the trap and five minutes later they were pronounced dead. No statement was made from the scaffold.
 The execution of convicts Harry Vaughan, George Ryan and Edward Raymond Is the final result of a des- perate attempt they made on the af- ternoon of November 24. 1905. to es- cape from the penitentiary. The four convicts were each secretly armed with a revolver and they had secured some dynamite.
 The four convicts were serving sen tences for robbery when the escape was planned.

ORDEAL OF PREMIER
CLEMENCEAU MAY FACE CRISIS
 TO-DAY.
Friends of French Minister Turn Against him and He May Require all Resources to stem the
 Tide.

Paris. June 27.-The premier, Eu- gene Clemenceau, tomorrow may have to face one of the most serious or deals of his remarkable career.
 All the extreme left groups with which he had been affiliated in the past are now on the war path because as they allege. he has turned his back on his former associates and since May 1 has resorted to methods of repression characteristic of the reactionaries The entire represc ltion in the re- bellous region of the south irrespee- tive of party is also against him. Al most a score of interpellations have been introduced in the chamber cov- ering the general policy of the govern ment, the employment of troops. the bloodshed in the south and other mat ters of vital importance and M. Blanc, unified socialist. this afternoon. was dissuaded only with difficulty by his colleagues from demanding NJ. Clem- enceau's Impeachment
 But the Premier's resourcefulness is traditional He has been the hero of so many parliamentary battles that his friends believe he will turn the tables on his enemies and triumph again to- morrow.
 Business interests throughout the country are alarmed at the growing demoralization and the Reorganization that pervades the masses and the gen. eral sentiment favors a more conserv- ative rather than more radical gov ernment.
 The Premier announced tonight that reports received from the prefects in the disturbed area show that pacifica- ton is proceeding so rapidly that he hopes shortly to order the withdrawal of the troops.

SENTENCE DEFERRED
sCHMITZ MUST SPEND MORE TIME
 IN JAIL.
Incensed by Action of the Court, the Mayors Counsel Accused Judge
 Dunne of Outraging Justice.

San Francisco. June 27-Mayor Flu gene A. Schmitz was carried before Judge Dpnne today to have sentence passed on him for the crime of extor- tion, of which he was recently convict ed.
 Judge Dunne called the case of the convicted Mayor. first inquiring wheth- CT it was the purpose of the prosecu- ton to press against him the other four extortion indictments returned by the grand jury.
 District Attorney Langdon declared that the State had not made up it's mind on this point and asked for an other week in which to consider it.
 Mir. Fairall for the defense. insist ed on the right of the Mayor to se- cure sentence at once, so that he could without further delay take an appeal to the higher court for the new trial which Judge Dunne would refuse.
 Judge Dunne finally granted a con tinuance of a week This action by the court so incensed the Mayors attorneys that one of them. W. Fl. Matson. ac- cused Judge Dunne of outraging jus tice The granted delay means that Mayor Schmitz must spend twelve more days fin the county jail before apply ing to a higher court for bail on the strength of the appeal taken
 As a punishment for the offense the penal code prescribes confinement In the penitentiary not to exceed five years It Is within the province of Judge Dunne to name the length of the sentence which Schmitz must serve. With the imposition of sentence upon the convicted Mayor, Judge Dunne will be in position to clear the way for the reorganization of the city government. It will rest with him to say the oficial word to the supervisors that Schmitz has been sentenced to State prison and that 1t is within their power to i'll the vacancy in the Mayors ofice.

not make another. It was this final effort of Yale's that won the race. But the Harvard crew was not easily whipped. Although the Blue raised the stroke seven points, they only crept away from Harvard on this last half mile by inches at time and she was not able to show clear water between the boats until the flag dropped. The victory was won by a scant boats length.
 The only man in the Harvard boat showing any sign of overexhaustion was Severance at No. 5. As the flag fell his oar slipped out of his hands and he fell over on the knees of Cap tain Bacon. He quickly revived, how ever. and sat up and rowed over to Red Top with his crew.
 Two better trained crews never rowed race and likewise two better fighting eights have never measured off their strength against each other. ten seconds up stream is the fastest time on records for an up stream race.
 The rowing of Yale's crew which, man for man, was not physically the equal Of Harvard's is the gratest achievement of John Kennedy, the Blues professional coach. He has never before demonstrated his power and ability as a coach as he did in this crew, which he developed out of inferior material.
 The postponed freshman eight cared race and varsity four pared race will be rowed up stream tomorrow morn ing at l0:30 o'clock.
