the impression was sought to be made
In some quarters that Fremont county

contradicted. He said they felt that
the county Is entitled to something
and had selected Colonel Hamer
for support and proposed to stand

Other counties Of the southeast felt
much the same way about it.

Mr.. Killpack believes that north

would like to see some good man

1.-THE face of the lower tunnel in

indications point that we are nearing
the lead and we expect to cut 1t when
we are In 175 feet" said J. w. Nc
Donald, vice president OF the Swas-

Mont. four miles up Four Mile

two shifts and they are making two
feet to two and half feet day In
the tunnel. We are timbering the
tunnel as we 60. Supplies for the
winter are all In and we will work
right through. The snow is only
about six inches deep at the prop
erty.
"A few days ago I discovered two
large pieces Of float, and while have
no assays from them, they look like
good gold bearing rock. believe
that we will strike the ledge in the
present tunnel. Surface ore, within
Ave feet Of the grassroots, assays 80

THE REASON WHY.

It must be comforting for County
Assessor L. A. Smith to realize In
connection with his alleged record Of
tax collecting that the funds came in
pretty easily under both a county.
state and national republican admin
istratiOn.
This little feature of the years re-
turns was overlooked by the Times
as It fixed a graceful halo over the
assessors head. Under whole hog
democratic administration we can. In
view of past events. realize that the
returns would not be quite so easy
and 1t would have been compare
lively simple matter to create new
record in another direction.
