GOOD MINING STRIKE
In GOLD Hill CLAIM


Gold hill is again looming up in
the mining horizon, says the Saratoga
Sun. Not since the time that the
very rich vein in the Acme was struck
has there been So much interest as at
the present time. The reason for the
present interest is because of the find
Ing OF a new vein in the Magnolia. The
owners of the claim, c. w. and Erie
Scott and John w. Cluff, were having
Dorr Keech do the annual assessment
work on the claim and while trench
Ing, a vein of gold quartz. four feet
in width, between well defined wa Is,
was uncovered. The matter in the
vein prospects all the way through
and about six inches of it is very rich.
Specimens taken from the vein, which
is a brown iron-stained decomposed
quartz, show an abundance of free
gold. This vein intersects what was
supposed ic be the main vein of the
Magnolia, but the owners are now puz.
zleI to know which is the mother lode.
The Magnolia is situated about 1900
feet north Of the Acme, which is own
ed by Otto Gramm. Fred Miller and
other parties and which is considered
a very valuable property.

New York's only hope OF winning the

depends upon winning the three re-

By winning these New York will tie
Chicago and the two teams will then

Should the board of directors give
New York the disputed game with
Chicago, New York would win the

Washington, Oct. 5.-The United
States produced 60 per cent more coal
than Great Britain in 1907, v e 100

elusive OF Great Britain, produced
more coal than all the other countries

cal survey in a report today on the

such production at 1,209, 1S4, 100 short

ACHIEVEMENTS OF CONGRESS-
MAN MoNpELL FOR PEOPLE
OF COMMONWEALTH
IN HOUSE.
Working In Harmony With senators
Warren and Clark and Doing
Full Share in Accomplishment Of
Splendid Results That Make One
of Most influential Delegation
from Any state in the Union.

Mr.. Mondell's work in congress since
his last election has been, as hereto
fore, important, constant and effective.
His long service, which has familiar
lied him with the procedures ana
practice of the house of representa-
tives, and gained him the confidence
of all his fellow members, and the
warm personal friendship of many of
them, places him in a position Of in
Huence in legislation and in admins
trative affairs, which is most helpful
and useful to his constituencies that
influence is constantly, courageously,
and effectively exerted in their behalf.
An Effective Delegate.
Working in harmony with Senators
Warren and Clark in securing legisla-
ton and appropriations for Wyoming.
he has done his full share in accom-
plishing the splendid results which
have given the Wyoming delegates
a national reputation as one of the
most influential and effective in con
gress.
Important Committee Appointments.
At the beginning Of the sixtieth
congress Mr.. Mondell was appointed
chairman of the committee on public
lands, perhaps the most important
committee place in the house from the
standpoint of the interests of his con-
stituents, and one that has enabled
him to render valuable service to set
tiers on the public land throughout the
entire west. Mr. .Mondell's service as
chairman of the committee on the irri-
cation Of arid lands, his thorough
knowledge OF the irrigation conditions
and questions, and his influence in the
passage of the national irrigation law
enabled him to exert a powerful in
fiuence in securing large benefits for
his state through the construction OF
the Cody and North Platte projects.
Two Important Undertakings.
The first important structures on
both of these projects are now complet
ed, or are nearing completion, and a
large acreage Is this year under irri-
cation on both projects. The con
s~truction Of further Important sections
Of these projects. such as the high line
and the Frannie canals on the Cody
project and the Goshen Hole n
under the North Platte will speedily
follow in the orderly development OF
these projects.
Relative TO Public Domain.
While Nj. Mondell's work, owing ia
the character Of his committee ap-
pointments, his intimate knowledge OF
the subjects. and the special interest
of his constituency In the same, has
largely had to do with questions relat-
Ing to the public domain and its devel.
opment, he haa the same time
