INTERESTING MOTIFS
FROM SPALDIN0 CAMP

The Tribune's correspondent has
sent an interesting account Of the min
ing explorations going forward in the
new Spalding camp. According to
his statement there is still considera-
BILE work being executed in that dis
trict and with the near approach Of
spring and summer weather. the
people who remained in camp all
winter say they. expect number Of
prospectors to come In and help push
development
The Union Leasing company Of
Cripple Greek has secured bond and
lease on the Bettis property which 10
located In the southeasterly part Of
the camp. The work is in charge
Of Richard Blanchard Of Cripple
Greek and has three men leveling and
grading ground for the installation of
a plant of hoisting machinery which
is to be soon installed. The new
company is said to be strong one and
1t expects to do considerable devel-
opment within the next few months
. Some ore was shipped from this
property last summer and the smelter
returns we're al ton in gold, and it
is thought that by judicious manage
ment the mine can be placed in shape
so that good daily production can
be assured.
The interest in the Prairie Dog
claim has been purchased by Harring-
ton Bros. and Mr.. Snyder and work
is being pushed ahead In good shape.
The new owners are confident they
are on the right ore chute and the
time will not be delayed when a
hoisting plant and pump will b.
installed and set In motion. They
will commence sinking on the ore
chute at once and the gold and silver
ore will be gone into a considerable
distance. The ore Ia smelling
grade and the owners say they soon
expect to place the property on the
permanent list Of shippers.
Flattering results have been obtain
ed by the work done by Spence.
Sprague and Quinn brothers Of Canon
City this winter on the Empire State
group. There is splendid showing
Of galena ore at the 300 foot breast of
the tunnel.
Joe Ducket and Pete Tonso have a
fine showing in the Alga claim, a
property adjoining the Franklin.
which has also shipped some ore in
paying quantities. Two men are
working ou the Alga and in cleaning
out an old shaft some good looking
mineral was exposed.
Several parties of mining men have
been looking over the camp in the
last few weeks. They have taken
samples Of ore from several properties,
but they do not talk much. The
miners think they are going to make
thorough test of the ores Of the
camp and il the properties look good
to them, it is probable they will in
vest.
At present there are great many
fattering prospects. but the camp
needs solid development which will
increase the strength and value Of
these numerous leads and it is
thought that the coming summer
will show much activity.

GEORGE w. HoWLEX INDICATED

so FARGO, N. D., June 24.-When
shown the story sent out from Grand
Forks in which he was charged with
disrupting the cause Of unionism, po-
litically, in the state of North Dakota.
George w. Howley, Of the Minnesota
Federation Of Labor. branded: It as a
malicious Misrepresentation Of facts.
He stated that United States Senator
Fl. C. Hansbrough has never been re-
commended officially or, personally by
him as fit candidate for re election,
to be supported by the laboring men
of the state. Mr.. Howley has been
in Fargo since Sunday and on his ar
rival stated that no recommendation
would be made rlative to the United
States senatorship until the matter
had been more throughly investigated.
According to statement from the
Labor temple. last evening" George w.
Howley is backed by the union men
of North Dakota, with the possible
exception OF printers employed at
Grand Forks who are. controlled by
insurgents. " .. sls.y-:- !, . =
Totally ignoring the so-called lead
ers, Mr.. Hdwleys came to this state,
starting an Investigation in a fearless
manner which has won: him the ad-
miration Of all. He refused to buckle
UP with either insurgents or stalwarts,
picking the candidates on their mer-
: its. After receiving the. election re-
turns he will return to- Minnesota.

Mr.. George Held Up.

Last Friday night about o'clock
Mr.. Manly P. George was held-up
near the depot, by man who wore a
mask. Mr.. George had gotten off the
train and was on his way home, a
few hundred yards distant. When he
turned the corner, just in front of the
residence of Mr.. G. G. Yount, man
stepped up in front Of him with a
stick in one hand and a pistol in the
other and ordered Mr.. George to
throw up his hands. At first Mr..
George thought it was joke and
bluffed the would be robber off and
went on his way home. The man
however, determined that Mr.. George
should not get off so light, went
around and headed him off a little
further down the road. This time the
robber had two pistols and exclaimed
in tones that would make most any
man shudder with fear: II guess I
got you now," at the same time COW
ering Mr.. George with two weapons.
Mr.. George backed back and told the
high-wayman that he had pistol too.
The robber seeing that Mr.. George
was game, decided that he was not
the man he was looking for and
quietly disappeared by the wayside.

q pistol in his face, while the other
cut the lines 80 that the mule could
not be driven off. After securing
their booty the robbers whipped the
mule and made him go down the road
at a lively gait. Mr.. Frye says one
of the men was negro, but he could
not tell whether the other. was black
or white. There is no clue as to the
identity of the robbers.

Clear and warm, making the finest
of weather to put crops in good con-
dition.
The rain of last week made quite a
change in corn and cotton.
The Williamson corn is putting on
it's proper color-yellow, though those
having entered the plan for the first
this year are quite blue.
Harvest is thing of the past ex-
cepting few oats. It has mostly
been housed in excellent condition.
Melons are looking well, though
they are putting on slowly. Wethink
they will be plentiful by the 4th.
The peach crop is unusually heavy
and mostly of a superior grade.
Why not have aYote on the liquor
question along with the primary or at
some other time? Lexington could
do without the sale of it and the pro-
moters of the temperance cause might
well put man in the field favoring
