linn FLORENCE A NEW
CANDIDATE FOR HONORS

There is a 40O-foot shaft on the linn
Florence, which opened up an ore shoot
from which one shipment was made.
The ore shoot was found within a few

been opened up on the Baby Florence,
Gem Florence, and Engineers lease,
and it would seem that the linn Flor
enee might have a "cinch.'
The new lease is already equipped

ALDENS NAME FILED FOR PUR-
POSE OF TESTING 1T.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 14.-Special to
The News: on good authority 1t is
stated here that in one instance, at
least, the new Nebraska primary law
was directly tested with regard to the
pulling powers of the alphabetical
proposition. 1t Is said that the name
OF Alden, of Beatrice, was put on the
primary for the express purpose OF
testing the advantage enjoyed by the
man whose name comes first on the
ballot.
Alden was prompted to file by a
Beatrice man. After filing, neither
the Beatrice man nor Alden himself
turned a hand to get votes. And yet,
BY virtue Of the fact that his name
was first on the list, Alden came with
in a few hundred votes of defeating
S. II. Barton, by all odds the best
qualified man in the race, and who has
finally won by a neck.
