The letter points out that grave
injustice was rendered the negro race
by the discharge Of the companies of
the Twenty-fifth infantry. and states
that the negroes OF the country will
support no candidate for president
who does not stand squarely on the
broad principles OF justice.
In conclusion, the letter says
I'VE have almost reached that point
where we can say thank God for
Senator Tillman, for we believe him
at least honest in his expressions,
and we believe him square In bis. life.
l am absolutely convinced OF this one
fact: That should Secretary Taft be
nominated at Chicago for president
OF the United States the colored
voters Of Ohio and of the whole
United States, ninety-ive per cent
of them, at the least calculation,
would cast their votes for the
straight democratic ticket for presi-
dent or remain away from the polls,

cratic president absolutely certain" I"

Depth in Queen and Crescent
Shows Vast Ore Bodies.

Emerson Hin, manager OF the
Queen & Crescent. came down from
the mine Sunday and left for bis home
at Redrock Monday afternoon. Mr..
Hill Is pushing the work at the mine
as rapidly as the conditions will per-
NIT. Some extra men went up to
the mine Monday. as they are In
creasina the force. Mr.. HIN states
that the farther they follow the
veins the better the ore shows up.
they are now working two shifts
each way from the main tunnel, and
are getting large amount OF ore
blocked out and on the dump ready
for the mill work as soon as the mill
can be gotten In shape to handle II.
The Queen OF the Hills mill and
the mill from the Copper Queen are
laid down at the new location and rs
soon as the frost Is out CT the ground
a large force OF mechanics will be en-
ployed so as TO put the mill In COM
mission as soon as possible. From
wofkmen at the mine The Recorder
gains information which corrcborates
and In many cases are more fiattering
than the statements Mr.. Hill gives
to this paper.
The Queen & Crescent people have
demonstrated TO some extent what
the mineral possibilities may be ex.
pected as depth Is attained. In the
other gold mines of the district but
little more than scathing on the sur
face has been the rule. The old
Queen OF the Hills mine produced ore
at profit, but since they have at
tanned depth In the new workings
the values have increased ffty per
cent 10 parts of the new workings
and much OF the ore taken out will
show value In gold three :or four
times what has been shown
heretofore.
This mine is only about seven
miles from Salmon, over good road,
and undoubtedly will employ a large
force of men during the coming sea.

The great Auditorium, which seats
l2,00o people and has standing room
for fully 1000 more, will be complet-
ed June IL. The officials OF the ma
tional committee who have the pre-
parations for the convention In
charge, say that preparations for the
entertainment OF visitors are farther
advanced at this time than at a sim.
liar period prior to previous conven-
tions in any other city. The 500, 600
pledged by Denver to help pay the
expenses OF the convention was paid
in four equal installments, the last
one being sent TO Chairman Taggart
OF the democratic national com mnit-
tee March %.
From present indications 1t appears
there will be an exciting contest 10
the convention, not for president and
vice president, but for the temper
airy craftsmanship, which controls the
selection OF important committees.
The three-cornered contest between
William J. Bryan, OF Nebraska, joan
A. Johason, OF Minnesota and George
Gray, OF Delaware, for the presiden-
tial nomination is said to be without
precedent In the history Of the party
for persistent activity OF the adler

men will appear at the convention,
but headquarters have been opened
here by their supporters and active
work 10 behalf OF each OF them Is
