Since our last primary election. the
primary election law has become Very
unsatisfactory to its friends, who now
want it amended. The discovery has
been made, that 1t does not answer
the purpose for which it was enacted,
viz: Keeping certain element in the
republican party in office eternally
and everlastingly. All will ADMIT,
that it is fraud, inasmuch as it nee
essitates the expenditure of vast sums
of money to secure nomination. But
who started it? II reminds the writer
of a story he once heard about Presi-
dent Lincunl. He was crossing field
and a vicious bull took after him. He
ran to a straw stack with the bull in
hot pursuit. Reaching the stack, he
began running around it, the hull fol
lowing. AS he could run faster than
the animal, he soon overlook him and
and catching him by the tail. began
Kicking him vigorously. The bull

"Who began this trouble, confound
you?''

PROPERTY IL RESPONDING TO
LATE LINE OF DEVELOPMENT
MAY SOON MAKE OLD TIME
ACTIVITY AT WARD.

Most encouraging is porphyry en-
countered recently in the workings
of the Nevada United Mines at Ward
mountain. indicating as it does that
the rich mineral belt lost in the
early eighties is about TO be again
found. During this week fifteen feet
of this material has been gone
through. With every foot it is be-
coming more heavily mineralized.
During the week stringers of cop
per sulphides and galena have been
found. indicating that approach is
being made to the mineral belt again.
1t is expected that shortly the work
of prosecuting To the hanging wall
will be started. Drifting along the
hanging wall to strike the rich
bonanza shoot, which is believed TO
be there. will then be done. Up to
this time the theory of faulting which
has been worked out by Superinten-
dent Gates has proven practically
faultless. Should the old bonanza
vein. with it's high silver content be
found 1t will mean the regeneration
of Ward and big town will again
flourish at the camp.

WOOL STILL ADVANCING.
Utah Growers Who Stored Then
Product Are Gratified by Con-
ditions.

SALT LAKE, June 20.-With the
steady advance in the price of wool,
regret is expressed by many Utah
wool growers that they parted with
their clips during the low prices with
which the season opened. Those
among the sheepmen who were for
tunate enough to have joined the
United storage movement of the Utah
Wool Growers are whooping and
cracking their heels together.
When the wool buyers went to
Jericho to try TO buy 100000 pounds
of wool there, as low as cents a
pound was bid for the clip. Reports
from Idaho yesterday were that l6
cents was being paid for wool. This
was double the minimum offer of the
buyers at Jericho, and almost double
the maximum offer.
Secretary c, b. Stewart of the Utah
Wood Growers expects to see the
price of wool soar to ! s cents.
The advance in price following the
united storage movement of the
sheepmen will result in an even more
vigorous fight against the bear eler
ment in the wool market next year
1t is estimated that had Utah wool
growers held their clips until the
present thousands of dollars which
will now enrich the buyers would
have gone to their pockets.

COPPER STOCKS MAY PROVE EN-
CEPTION TO THE RULE-RIS-
ING METAL HELPING THEM TO
CONSIDERABLE EXTENT.

Bear reports in the last few days
have turned on alleged fear that the
campaign will develop into corpo-
on-anti-eorporation fight, with re-
suit that there has been quite little
timidity made. The sharpest DEM
onstration of the fact lies in a rush
for bond issues. These always af-
ford an harbor for the timid investor
at the first sign of storm. The turn
in public feeling has prevented rise
in the general list of stocks during
the week and it is possible that an
other week of extreme dizziness is
ahead.
The metals continue improvement.
The strengthened position of copper
has been effective in aiding the cop
per stocks and may bring an advance
during the week regardless of the
gleomy outlook confronted by the
