 Senator Rutterworth said yesterday afternoon and if the members of the legislature acted upon the will of the people Mir Hill will be elected by a good majority. He said that MT. Hill is very closely in touch with the ad- mnistration and would be a power In the upper house at Washington On the other hand Mir. Brandegeo did not favor the nomination of Mir.

Eillt abilities have won him an inhuentia position in Washington. which \ strengthened by his being fin harmon! with the present and next administra ton. The fact is of especial importance for the reason that the people of tn, country and of this state have by thei vote strongly testified their belief II the principles of both President Roose welt and President Elect Taft, ant their desire that those principles b upheld by substantial support in con gress.
 For the aforementioned reasons hope you will vote for Mir. Hill.

 The debating teams of the academic and scientific departments of the uui- vorsty sprung a surprise on tho pro- fo4sional school teams last evening and doclsjvely defeated tboso repre- sontug Che law school and the thoo- logical seminary on the question:;
 "ResoVed. That tue United Etates should adopt system of postal say- ings banks The academic and Shoit teams will meet next Monday night for the inJordepartmeut championship and later the team which will debate against Harvard and Princeton will be chosen.
 Robert A, Taft, son of Judge Will liam Howard Taft Is one of the mcm- bers of the academic team the others being James R. McConaughy and s, E, I[ecler. The law school team de- foated by the academic team, is made up of E C, Weyman, II, F Bishop and Y, |, OConnel,
 T, Fox l.. T. Bates and w. Platt represented Shelf, against the divinity school and the latter team was made up of R, P Chandler F. R, Walton and C, Small.
 Interest In debating in the univcrs- ty is greater this year than for several years past, due perhaps to the de- feats of the baseball team, crew and football elecen. There is chance that out of all this material win ing team may be sent against Harvard and Princeton.

FIVE FEET OF
MILLING ORE

The strike made this week by ]. ID.
Goodwin in the Sunrise extends the
area of the district one mile furthey
northwest and the way the ore body
is opening up, that section, which is
commonly known as Red Dyke, may
rival anything yet uncovered in the
camp.
The shaft is down so feet, and an
eight-foot crosscut was run to { 1t the
lead, which is at least Ave feet In
width, and another three feet Is IN
lower grade ore. The values occur
in lively looking quartz. and from
the Mornings made early in the week
the entire body will average between
$15 and $40 per ton, while specimen
rock showing considerable free god
is not at all uncommon. Portions of
the vein runs $50 and upwards, but
the above average is a conservative
estimate of the whole.
Drifting on the vein is now in
progress, and as developments pro-
coed the ore shoot is becoming great
er than when first encountered. Col
ors can be obtained from any part of
the working and the property holes
every promise of becoming among tn
best in the district.
Red Dyke extends for about one
mile in a northwesterly and south
easterly direction, and Is parallel
dyke to that upon which the original
strike was made by Hart and Hit
Adjoining the Sunrise, B. A. Jer-
nings holds group Of claims upor
which good paintings have been OBJ
tanned, and the work accomplished 81
far shows that the lead cuts the coA.l
try for several thousand feet.
On account OF extending the are
of the district the strike in the Sun
rise is a most important one. Prop
erty holders along Red Dyke will IN
doubtedly begin doing some work
and that section OF the district VIII
be considerably benefited now that
is known pay values exist there

CIRCUS PLEASES,
LARGE AUDIENCE
ACROBATIC FEATs WERE GOOD
ANIMALS SHOW MARVELLOUS
PERCEPTION.

From the time the funny old
clown entered the ring with his
hoop-la, until the last act, the audi
ence that crowded the tent of the
Great American Circus last night,
laughed and applauded. The aero
batic acts were as good as any ever
witnessed in any circus ring. The
performers on the horizontal bar, tire
contortionists. and hand balancers
were equally as good, and their e.
forts to amuse and entertain were
certainly appreciated by an audience
that was lavish in its applause.
The trained dogs, monkeys, ponies
and goats pleased the little ones and
the grown folks. These animals did
everything but talk, and in theic
training show conscientious and hard
work on the part of their preceptors.
Altogether the circus was a great
novelty in these days of three-ring
and two-stage circuses, and reminded
you Of the old-fashioned one-rins
circus of our youthful days. TODAY
there will be two performances, one
at 1880 p. M. and the final perform
,ance at 8 o'clock. Mr.. Reiss, the
manager, announced that at the mat
inee performance at $3.50, the little
folks would be admitted for 25 cents
A large display of Merry Widow
hats was in evidence. especially ir
