BONANZA find
near VERNON
Leasing Company UnCOvers
Big Pay Ledge.
Mother Lode Mining and Leasing
Company Encounters $500 Ore
at Depth Of GO feet-...HOiStlng
Plant VIII Be Installed at Once.

A strike which carries with it more
than ordinary significance and one
that is surely destined to rank among
the very best in the Seven Troughs
district, was made last week on the
Mother Lode Mining and Leasing
company's lease on the Gold Run
property and within a stones throw
of the town OF Vernon. 1t is report
ed that values running all the way
from $500 to $500 have been OBJ
tanned from the new discovery and
from present indications it has all
the ear-marks of developing into a
second Fairview.
From parties in from Vernon yes
terday the Tribune representative
learned that the strike was made at
a depth of sc feet, the ledge appear
ing in the corner of the shaft. The
shaft has now passed the l00-foot
mark and although some four feet of
the ledge has been exposed its ex-
act width has not as yet been de-
termined. The major portion of the
pay streak is in the sulphides and
the character of the rock is identi-
cal with that in which the high val
ues are found in the Seven Troughs
Mining company's property. The
sulphides carry the yellow metal to
the tune of $500 to the ton. The
oxidized formation lying next to the
sulphide vein carries average values
close to $400 in gold.
The basalt contact, which shows
quite prominently from one end of
the district to the other, cuts through
the Mother Lode lease about twenty
feet to the east of the shaft and it
is believed that when the contact is
reached sensational values will be
encountered. A station is being cut
at the 100 foot level, and crosscut-
ing will be commenced at once.
Sinking will be continued with two
shifts and no time will be lost III
opening up the property.
Messrs. Mangum and Williams,
the principal owners of the lease,
have ordered a substantial hosting
plant and its arrival is looked for
daily. When the new machinery is
in place three regular shifts will be
put on and it is believed that it will
only be a matter of a very few
weeks until shipment will be ready
for the market.

GRAND JURY
FOR CARMACK
POLL OF BODY SHOWS DEMO
Gratis FAVOR HIS cARDI-
DAcY FOR GOVERNOR.
DEMOCRATS FOR DIRECT PRIMARY
And Same Ten For carmaek.-All
other Members Were Re-
eublIcana.

The verdict of q grand jury on any
public question or any public man has
always been taken as conclusive evi-
dence Of the standing Of that man or
question. The grand jury comes from
the people and is representative OF the
people, rejecting the best thought and
sentiment of free American citizen
ship.
BY this standard the people of
Maury are almost unanimous for a
direct primary for the nomination OF
a Governor and other state offices and
favor almost without exception the
candidacy of E. w. Carmack for the
high office of Governor.
The Grand Jury working under the
present session of the Circuit Court,
was polled Tuesday by Mr.. c. T. Loon
ey, a member of the inquisitorial body
Mr.. Looney is an enthusiastic Car
mack man and was one of the Maury
countians who witnessed the action OF
the State Committee when they over
threw the will of the people at Nash
Vile last week. Mr.. Looney naturally
wanted to find how his co-workers felt
on these important subjects, so took
a poll. He found that there were four
republicans among the thirteen mem
bers Of the jury and the one officer,
appointed to wait upon the jury. With
these four republicans eliminated. the
ten democrats were unanimous for the
direct primary and for the nomination
Of Mr.. Carmack.

FINS GARRETT
LASHES C. 0. P.
SAYS RECENT PANIC HAS KILLED
THEIR CHIEF POLITICAL
SLOGAN.
GIVES HISTORY OF PARTY
Says Republicans Are Not willing
To Fight In The
Open.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Pa general
arraignment OF the Republican party
was made In the House OF Representa-
tives today by Mr.. Garrett, OF Tennes-
see. He charged that during its en-
tire career that party had had just
three fundamental arguments with
which to appeal to voters. He as
serted that the party came into pow
er by an affiliation with the anti
slavery sentiment Of the country, while
in the second stage the Republicans
retained power "by appealing to the
heroic memories and the intense but
inevitable prejudices engendered in
the war in which slavery was abol-
ished." For two decades, he declared,
"the bloody shirt" was the party BAN
ner. "and behind it's crimson flowing
folds they marched to victory after
victory" The third stage, he said,
"the argument with which we of this
+ generation are so familiar" and that
I
was that Republican success means
prosperity and Democratic success
disaster" This last contention had
| become the battle hymn Of the party
and "never a French soldier was more
stirred by the Marsellaise; never a
gray-clad lad of the Southland thrilled
more to Dixie as he went down to
death and despair; never brave, blue
trooper rode with higher beating heart
to victory through smoke and fame
and battle shout where Yankee
Doodle rang than the Republican par
ty as its leadership sang forth the
measured chant: Depression-that is
Democracy; prosperfty--that 10 Re
publicanism."
/ He spoke of the industrial iethargy
since October, 1907, the number OF
men out OF employment, the bank fall
ures, and, in discussing the causes Of
that condition, said they were not due
to a Democratic Administration, mot
even a threat Of Democratic success
your midterm election prophecy de-
clared." Something just stopped, he
said, and it all happened under Re
publican Administration.
