To make the bag, fold nine inches

JEFF HUDSON FOR CONGRESS.

The Democrats of the Third
Congressional District have a
candidate for congress whom
they can cheerfully and consci-
entiously vote for at the primary
on August 4th. He is a man
who has served the district be-
fore, and although he served but
one term, yet he made a record
that all Democrats in this DISTRICT
can point to with pride. He
comes before the people of this
district with clean hands, with
unsullied escutcheon, with no
faint of boodling, bribery or Of
fetal misconduct, to handicap
him in the race. Mr.. Hudson's
petitions are being circulated all
over the district this week.
If nominated at the primary
election, Mr.. Hudson will enter
the campaign under conditions
that are favorable to his election.
He is in harmony with the time
honored tenets of his party; he
is an ardent advocate of the re-
forms the people demand he is
an indefatigable worker, a
splendid organizer and tacticiau,
and a man who inspires conf
dence and makes friends wherev-
er he goes. There is no skele-
ton in his political closet, no
dark chapter in his official con-
duct to be explained away, no
!" damned spot" In his RECORD
that defies the cleansing proper
ties of ammonia, and his pockets
are not bullying with the "uu-
earned increment" of official
malfeasance!

Hudson, an honorable man of
Fredonia as an opponent, will

any possible doubt the certainty
of the same ore bed through all
these properties.
A little further to the north
west comes in the White Eagle
Mill on the Eastman Investment
Company lease, on which the
the same rich bed of zinc and lead
ores has been not only demon
strated by drilling twenty-eight
holes, but has two shafts down
into the ore bed which are now
delivering about one hundred and
fifty tons of ore daily to the new
mill, which Manager lakewood
has recently installed with a siz-
ing system which is proving most
satisfactory. We understand that
since the installation of the new
system that the saving has been
improved materially. Additional
jigs and tables are being installed
which will add largely to the re-
suits now being obtained and at
the same time increase the ton
mage handled each day. Another
shaft is to be sunk Ia the near fu-
ture.
We understand that the Iowa
and Oklahoma Mining Co. is to
build a big custom mill to take
care of the output of many small
diggings which are now opening
up on its lands. This is a move
in the right direction and will
keep the quick development of
many more leases on this compa-
ny's lands.
Mr.. Lancaster will start up his
property June LIST and keep it go
ing steadily in future.
The Hobo Mine is under short
time option and if the deal goes
through a new mill will be erect
ed on this lease this summer.
J. C. Bryner reports that he
has sunk shaft No. 4 on the Big
Eighty" lease of the Sunburst
Mining Company down to 10 feet
and expects to be into the ore body
the coming week. The heavy
rains have impeded the sinking
materially the past three weeks,
otherwise he would have been in
to the big ore body this week.
Superintendent LATE Griffith is
pushing the drifting in shaft No.
2 to the west and is nearing the
drillings which showed ten feet
of very rich ore in this lease.
This week should let him into the
ore bed in this shaft.
The Heap-O' Brien is still sink
ing on their shaft. The stops
from the two big drifts are being
taken up as the sinking proceeds,
and give a lot Of rich ore each
day which is being hand jigged.
Robt. Mckay, on the Catholic
Forty lease, has beaten the water
in the shaft and is now sinking
the shaft into the ore body, which
he strikes at the '11s-foot level,
and from the drillings it showed
