THE BANNER.

The foreman of the Banner mine
brought down some fine specimens of
ore last evening from the new strike
made the middle Of the week on the
$50 foot level north, where they have
encountered the same shoot of ore en-
couutered above, and says that the ore
body is feet wide and of high grade.
He has extended the 200 foot level and
has opened up the same Shoot of ore,
showing it fully as good, if not better,
than above. This gives them an assur-
ance of large body of good ore of much
higher grade than formerly milled.
The ore has much the same appearance
as that of the Trade Dollar property
The ore bins are all full and the mill
will start up as soon as the repairs are

been repaired aud every thing will be
in shape to start in full force by next
Monday morning if not sooner. The

times little dull for the last two weeks
but the resumption Of work in tile mine
and the music Of the mills will cause a
revival Of business in this locality.

Ed Winn Bound Over For the
Killing of Faustino Aldecoa-

There was serious trouble among the
sheepherders on the Rooster Comb Mt,
last Tuesday, when Ed Winn shot and
killed Faustino Aldecoa. Winn came in
Tuesday evening and surrendered himself
to the sheriff. The sheriff and prosecut-
ing attorney left for the scene of the
trouble on Wednesday morning and did
not get back until about one O'Clock
Thursday morning. The preliminary ex-
animation was held Thursday afternoon
when Winn was bound over to appear at
the next session of the district court, un-
der bond Of $1,000. Attorney R. B.
Stone, Of Caldwell, represented the de-
fendant.
Robert Rentile, boy about Is years Of
age. was the only witness to the shooting,
whose evidence varies but little from the
account given by Winn.
Winn is young man, l9 years OF age,
has an intelligent appearance and claims
he shot in self defense.

The Idaho Statesman of the 7th inst,
contains an editorial entitled ''The
Good and the Bad" that is an excellent
article, and expresses sentiments that
all patriotic Americans will applaud.
If the writer will follow this line Of
thought and lay aside his party preju-
dice until Nov. 3. We cannot see how
he can help casting his ballot for the
Democratic candidates. The article
wis undoubtedly written with the view
of getting republican voters to scratch
Lansdon and Hastings, but our expert
ence has been that when you once get a
republican to scratching his ticket 80
per cent of them will keep scratching
until very little, if any, of the republi-
can ticket is left. great many able
men are nominated by the republican
party, but they are so bound up in par
tyism that they obey the dictates of
party bosses aud lose sight of the duty
they owe TO their constituents. II the
said article had appeared in the Pacific
Monthly aud been written by G. &. S.
Wood, the Statesman would have at
once branded it as ''anarchisticr and
unfit for publication. But it may be
that the writer has chad conviction and
is experiencing a change Of heart"
We hope this is true and that he has in
fact ''got religion" and will ask the
democratic brethren and sisters to pray
for him that he may see the error of his
past life aud fully repent while there is
yet time, so that he may join the in
Vulnerable throng and embrace true
patriotism and vote for the great com
moner.

Silas Lee. of Caldwell. Knitted by
Joe Silvas. of Jordan Valley.

During the latter part of last week an
alteration took place in Jordan Valley,
over a game of cards, in which silas Lee
was severely cut by Joe Silva. Lee re-
ceived cut on the left hand, arm and
shoulder and also cut across the abdo-
men, being partially disemboweled and
several of the intestines cut. There is
very little hope Of his recovery. Silva
was taken to Caldwell by Mr.. Dinwiddie
where he was turned over to the sheriff
of Malheur Co., and taken to Vale.

One of the most notable receptions
accorded to tho great feet of the Unit
ed States closed at Sydney, New South
Wales, on Wednesday. During the six
days OF the vessels stay the citizens
showered attentions upon the officers
and men Of the fleet, and it must be
said that the sailors left behind them a
most favorable record for conduct. A
very striking feature of the reception
was contributed by the school children
on the last day of the ceremonies. Eight
thousand children in varicolored dresses
took part in tableaus which presented
the ords "Hail Columbia" in living
columns, sang the American national
anthem, and in one of their evolutions
formed huge shield of the flags OF the
United States and Australia intertwined.
This is an incident which must have
stirred memories of home among the
men of the feet, as probably did the
baseball games, in which home mines
defeated teams made up from the crews
of the battleships. Admiral Sperry, in
taking leave of the city, declared that

PoTosI

The last car load of the machinery
for the Potosi mill is arriving daily, and
is being installed. The water pipes are
being laid and a full force is at work in
the mine. The new air compressor will
be here in short time and when it is
put in place more miners will be en-
ploYed.

We need an up to-date sampling works
and custom mill in this camp, as there
are hundreds of prospects that would
be worked if the miners could have
their output properly worked without
going to the expense Of shipping the
ore. Such au enterprise would pay well
here and would have plenty OF work
Capital TO take up such proposition is
needed. If some enterprising company
will take this matter up and come aud
examine the field, We will agree tc show
them the goods. This, in connection
with a crosscut tunnel on War Eagle
mountain, is one Of the best paying
mining propositions in the west.

ELECTION OF UNITED STATES SENATORS
by popular vote, thus breaking up the
senatorial oligarchy headed by Standard
Oil, which is strong enough to resist all
measures offered in behalf OF the public
welfare;
GUARANTEE OF ALL NATIONAL BANK De
posrTs, thereby preventing all money
panics by giving all people absolute con-
fidence in ALL banks;
DESTRUCTION OF Private MONOPOLY and
the enforcement Of law against trusts by

PUBLICITY OF CAMPAIGN Contributions

THE PUNISHMENT of men who manipu-
late railroad stocks and ownership; the
encouragement OF railroad construction

watered stock and false bond issues;

taken for the adjustment of disputes be-
tween corporate employers and employees;

The anti-Dubois democrats were sue
cessful in getting their ticket filed as the
democratic ticket Of Idaho The Dubois
ticket was presented 30 minutes later for
filing at the Office Of the Secretary Of
State and were informel thata democratic
ticket had already been fled Where
upon the matter was taken to the courts
and it is hoped win be settled one way or
the other. No particular advantage has
been gained by the acceptance of the anti
Dubois ticket, as the same process Of law
would have been employed in case the
other ticket had been filed first
Dr. W. r. Hamilton and J. s. St Clair
are in attendance at meeting of the
Masonic Grand Lodge at Boise. The DR..
is Deputy Grand Master and will be
elected to the highest office Of the order,
that of Grand Master of the Masonic or
der of Idaho. This Office is reached only
by the candidate being perfectly com
petent to fill the office, and is an honor
far greater than being elected as governor
OF state, as it is only acquired by com
petence and not by political manipulation
Dr.. Hamilton is a gentleman Of sterling
qualities and will fill the position with
credit to the order.
The rain on last Monday did not pre-
vent the people Of Silver from having a
good time. Several ofthe miners should
cred their guns and took to the high hills
in quest of bear, mountain lions, ele-
plants and other game, got thoroughly
drenched and came back sadder but wet
ter men. The dance given in the evening
was well attended, over go tickets being
sold, and the dancers enjoyed themselves
making lively steps to the excellent music
furnished by Jeffery's orchestra, assisted
by the noted cornet soloist, ] . E. Dickens.
The prizes for the best walters were
awarded as follows: Lady's lst prize,
Miss Margaret Cavaney; 2nd prize, Miss
Nellie Johnston. Gents 1st prize, Will
liam Cavaney; 2nd prize, Thomas Kelly.
We were so unfortunate as to be selected
as one Of the judges to pick the winners
of the ladies prizes and never was up
against such hard proposition before in
all our life, as there were so many excel
lent dancers among the lady contestants
that we threw up our hands in despair
and made a rough guess with our eyes
shut. Of course we got curtain lecture
later on for having selected both young
unmarried ladies. "You old married
men always pick out some unmarried
ladies" seemed to be the argument, SC
we promised to be good and never do SC
any more.

Louis Sorensen was in town last even
ing and reported that the ore he has
been working in the arastra which he
bad built near his mine, turned out
first rate. The Neversweat, Mr.. Soren-
sens property has long been known as
having produced some of the richest
ore in this district. He has for years
made good money digging out little
ore and beating it upin hand mortar.
This year he built small arastra and
ran it by horse power, working his ore
in more modern way than formerly.
He says that next year he will increase
the size OF his plant and move it down
to the creek where more water is avail
able The Neversweat is situated on

CHICAGO. June 16.-When Taft
has been nominated for president,
as he probably will be, his man.
ayers will be confronted by the
momentous question of the fat.
Who is to do the frying and whom
will he fry?
1t is not so long ago since it was
a serious problem. Roosevelt, it
was asserted, had alienated all the
big interests that had built up the
campaign funds in the past and
they would give nothing this year.
In fact, growls to that effect came
from the headquarters of the rail
roads, the trusts and the big finan-
cial interests in Wall st. They
wouldn't give a dollar, and the re-
publican party could raise money
some other way or get along with
out it.
Now it happens that there isn't
going to be bit of trouble. Tariff
that solid old standby, will produce
the goods. Campaign funds will
come out of the rich Pittsburg dis
tdict by the boxcar load. The
potters will have a redhot interest
in politics, backed by their money

SENATORIAL FIGHTS PLAGUE REPS

CHICAGO, June 16.-Missouri
will have an interest in this cam
paign as the state which, four years
ago, went republican for the first
time since the war. 1t will be
watched during the campaign, as 1t
has been in the ante-conventlon
campaign, for straws to show which
way the wind sets. Since four
years ago the states republicanism
appears to have been on the wane,
and there is no question that the
election of United States senator
in the coming year will be a choice
between two democrats, Folk and
Stone. The republicans are divided
by some fractional troubles, and no
less than 16 notices Of contest were
filed before the national committee.
The "allies" admit that Taft will
secure 26 out of the SO delegates or
Missouri, while the Taft people
claim all but two.
Nebraska sends 16 delegates to
Chicago who are pledged to Tart,
and there are no contests or doubts.
Senator Chester |. Long of Kan
sas has been mentioned as run
ming mate for Taft. The Kansas
delegation, 20 strong, comes to Chi
cago pledged to Taft, and with no
contests. The chief interest OF Mr..
Long in the Vice presidential nomi-
nation is the help which boom for
this place will give him in his cam.
paign for a return to the United
States senate. Kansas has adopted
new primary election law, and it
applies to the senators also. Long
was elected to the senate after a
bitter fight, and his election was
generally accredited to the railroad
influence in his state. This threat
ems his defeat for the senate. Now
he is doing all in his power to hitch
his senatorial gocaft to the Taft

STRONG PULL
BY gibson GARDNER
eoial Correspondence to The Press

SPSSAaA correspondents " ALE &GSDb
CHICAGO, June. 16.-Oratorical
considerations are weighing heavi-
ly in the choice of vice presiden-
tial candidate to run with William
Howard Taft.
This has made Albert J. Beve.
ridge one of the strongest of the
lately mentioned possibilities.
I'VE must have man who can
go out and meet Bryan" is what
one of Taft's most influential ad-
visers has urged I'VE have got to
have a talking candidate. Bryan
will have a special train and will
go from one end of the country to
the other, talking his head off. 1t
is our plan to have Mr.. Taft remain
quietly at Cincinnati, receiving
some delegations, and going out in
the fall, perhaps, to make one or
two set speeches. In the mean
time, however, the vice president
will hav to travel around the
country, as Roosevelt did eight
years ago, and as Fairbanks tried
to do four years ago. This will be
absolutely necessary"
1t is conceded by all that Beve-
ridge is the most attractive plat
form man in the country. He is
better even than Dolliver. He has
been an active exponent of the
Roosevelt policies, his child labor
campaign and his fight for bigger
navy and for meat inspection hav-
ing been inspired and carried on
with Roosevelt's cooperation. His
selection would remove any doubt,
if any exists, as to the way Indiana
would go, and his resignation from
the senate would leave a hole into
which Mr.. Fairbanks could crawl.
All these reasons have led to a
serious consideration of the senior
senator from Indiana.
