Buchanan x Chittenden have pur-

Buchanan x Chittenden have pur- chased all the interests of Ingraham and Kent in the Original Gold Find mining company and the mines con- troled by it, now operating in the Gold Flat section. It is their intention of placing the corporation with people capable of exploiting the mines and we are informed they are shaping up things in this direction.
 A. l.. McKesson this week started up his mill, on the Holy Moses mine, and reports that it worked to perfec- tion. The only drawback was lack of water, the pipes being too small to supply the battery with the necessary to carry the pulp over the plates. This defect is being remedied and the mill will be crushing ore today. The ex- perimental run shows the ore values to be much higher than anticipated.
 G. w. Baily, a New York capitalist, is visiting the mines of the Arizona Mexican M. & $. company, with Dr. L.. D. Godshall.

Last year there was produced from the mines of Mexico l92,OOO,OO0$ in gold, silver, lead and copper. This is the greatest production the republic has ever made. Sonora is credited with the greatest production of any of the states, (33, 1000, ,OOO$ and Chihua- hua comes next with 26,00O, COOS. At the present time mining is dead in many of the big camps of the republic and the production will not te over one.half that of 1907 during the cal endar year.

Frank Tofte is working on his l.. & M. mines, near Sherum summit, and believes he has ono of the best proper ties in that whole section. The vein is very large and the values are ex- ceptionally good.
 Samples sent in from the new ore body on the Lucky Boy mine, at Chlo- ride, are said to be very rich. Fred Stull and Henry Lovin have lease on the property and are making good money. The recent strike adds much to the value of the ores being taken from the property.
 T. R. Garnier, Lew Stirzel and James Jackson went out to Wallapai mountains last Wednesday to look over some mining claims belonging to Mir. Garnier. They brought back with them samples from two veins which gave assay results running from fifty ounces silver and thirty per cent | lead to over four ounces gold to the ton. Mr.. Garnier states that the vein giving four ounce gold assay is over two feet wide of solid quartz and the sample weighed over 100 pounds. He believes it to be one of the big things of the Wallapais and intends putting a force of men to work on it as soon as a camp can be made.
 From present indications the country surrounding Parker, in the north part of Yuma county, is destined to become one of the greatest gold and copper sections of the territory. The veins ot that section are large and well defined and the fluxing material can be haC close in to ideal shelter sites on the river. When the railroad is complet ed to a connection with the main line of the Santa Fe it will bring in ores from the desert section that will read fly mix with the ores of Bill Williams Fork making an ideal smelling mix ture. The country is covered witt massive veins of iron, all of which car ry some gold values and which will bt necessary in the smelling of the ores The veins are capped with lime ant part of the gangue accompanying th' es is lime, only small amount o silica being present. The same condi tions exist along the Colorado river il California and it is probable that al the ores produced in that part of th
 iesert region will be assembled a Parker for treatment.

leaders of his party in Idaho for
the past several years and was
practically promised the govern
orship when he stood back two
years ago at the PocatelIo con-
vention and allowed the Gooding
slate to be nominated. This
should bring him strong support
this year, and, together with the
fact that he will have the solid
and heavy southern representa-
ton back of him at the conven-
ton, practically assures him the
nomination. North Idaho may
not like this state of affairs over
ly well but with a senator and
congressman working for renomi-
nation it is hard to see where it
can break up the Brady combina-
ton. Boise also has a possible
candidate for the governorship
but cannot win out and will cast
it's vote for a southern man when
the critical moment arrives.
Senator Hepburn is trying for
reelection and in view of the
good he has accomplished we can
see no possibility of his defeat,
especially as he has no formidable
rival in his party.
Congressman French also de-
sires to be returned to office but
his chances are pretty slender
this year. Col. Hamer, of
Blackfoot, who will stand in with
Brady and use the solid south
eastern representation to further
his>ends, is out after French's
scalp and stands a good chance
of landing the trophy. French
has already spent two terms in
congress and many Of his
republican friends believe it is
about time for a change. Some
are openly opposing his renomi-
nation and with his strength in
the north weaker than ever be-
fore it is hard to see how he can
win out against his powerful ad-
versary of the south.
Candidates for positions on the
state ticket have not come out
into the open as yet but they
promise to be plentiful by the
time the convention meets. The
main fight, however, will be over
the governorship and congress
sional nomination and unless the
delegations kick over the traces
altogether the above forecast
stands good chance of coming
true.

The citizen who votes his ticket
straight, regardless of whether
or not the nominee is a fit man,
is not doing his duty. Just as
long as the rank and file will
elect whatever the politicians put
up, regardless of qualifications,
just that long will the politicians
manipulate primaries, pack
conventions, and foist upon
the public any kind of men for
public Offices. If a party wants
the votes of it's members let it
understand that it must nominate
only fit men for the office. The
hope of the nation is that the idea
of political independence is on
the increase. Few men are will
ing to vote for an incompetent
man.-Troy News.

THEY WILL DANCE.

The members of the local fire
company held a meeting last
night and decided to give another
dance on February 18th. This
will be the last dance before
Lent and no pains will be spared
to make it the best dance given
in Cottonwood this winter. The
best music procurable, perhaps
the celebrated Tillott orchestra OF
Woodside, will be secured for the
occasion and everything possible
will be done to make it a rousing
success.
Everyone should patronize this
dance and help the boys out as
they are laboring for a worthy
cause and wish to use the money
made from the dance to purchase
some needed equipment for the
fire company. Some day fire
may break out and the boys will
be called on to do hard and
dangerous work. Show your
appreciation of them now by at
tending the dance the 18th and
help make it a financial success.

Good Fire Protection.

The Volunteer Fire Depart
ment of this city recently reciev-
ed their new Waterous gasoline
fire engine, hose-cart, hose, lad
ders and many other equipp-
ments which are necessary for a
good fire protection. and are now
prepared to fight fire at any time.
Messrs. C. P. Waterous, Jr.,
and w. M. Gibson were in town
on Wednesday from St. Paul to
test the engine-and demonstrate
ed beyond doubt the many ways
in which the machinery is practi-
cal. The engine is equal to a
nine-horse power and is equipped
with one-thousand feet Of flexible
hose which can be quickly laid by
means Of a hose-cart.
AS a demonstration Of the re-
suits which can easily be obtain
ed with the engine Messrs. Glib
son and Waterous placed it on the
creek bank just south of the pub
lie school, and by means Of the
long hose, forced large stream
of water on the roofs Of the First
National Bank and several other
buildings near by this one "a dis
tance Of fully 1000 feet.
The engine can be easily and
quickly operated, and while run :
ing on high speed it pumps the
water through the nozzle Of the
hose with great force SO forcible
in fact that it w ould knock a man
down were he to stand close in
front Of it and the writer can
give you a positive written guar
antee to that effect. The new
fire hall is nearing completion,
and with the old chemical engine
and the many equipments taken
in addition with the new outfit
our Volunteer fire men are now
well prepared to fight the
flames.

The Boston wool market has
become very quiet since the
cleaning up of the large lots of
quarter blood fleeces, clothing
territories being in heaviest sup
ply, On account of the lack Of
demand for the goods made
from these woods. there is very
little interests taken in them.
The London sales closed with
about $4,000 bales unsold, and
while there was a good advance
in prices from the opening, this
was manipu lated and has had
little effect in the American mar
kets, except, perhaps, to stop
the downward movement of
prices. Sales this week were
small, and included secured ter
ritories at 48 and SO cents for
fine, As and AZ cents for fine me-
dium and As cents for medium;
little fine Montana at II cents
in the grease or so cents secured,
fall Texas at AZ and 43 cents.
The season opened in Oregon
with the Pendelton sales, this
being the main feature of the
week. The woods were largely
staple, for which there is a bet
ter demand than for clothing
grades, and 100000 lbs were
sold, largely to Boston houses, at
1912 and 13 cents, with a choice
clip at 13 Ia cents. -Bradstreet's S.
