Must play Politics.

''His only hopeful resort IS 10 90 down
into the unfamiliar and Unco1genial
shaded underworld of ward politics, kow-
tow 10 district leaders and captains whose
social and business standing Is perhaps
inferior TO his own, and satisfy their
queries.
'But II he b conspicuous as an fmpor-
tant and almost solitary figure before his
prospective constituents, such a candidate
can easily get a satisfactory hearing, and
his superior merit viii be an all-important
asset.

make bad men give good government or
keep good men from getting good results.
''To set the right men IS first Of all a
matter OF arranging for the maximum

1T is not superior intelligence IN the

Likewise there cannot be a mysterious
virtue in the new plan OF governing
American cities by small commissions
( (the success OF which in Galveston. Hous-
ton. and Des Noines is undeniable). save
in that the importance and conspicuous
ness Of the five commissionerships attract
: so fierce a umeught al election that no
unworthy figure who ventures into that

Sinking on Charter Oak

j. b Hassett, the of
the Charter Oak mine, was in the
city Monday after a load of sup
plies and mail for his camp. He
says that they are now sinking
aud that the vein presents the
most favorable appearance. 1t
ran on a slant of about 45 degrees
down to the present landing, but
the lead is now almost perpendic-
ular. '
81 am satise6d," Mr.. Hassett
said. That we are on the eve of a
very important strike on the Cha1-
ter Oak. There is already a de-
cided change in the ore and l have
no doubt but what we will soon un.
cover Ii fine body of mineral.
Every indication points to that
fact and you need not be surprised
to hear of a big find there any
day. As a matter of fact the mine
is now in ideal shape for work.
The machinery is perfect and in
splendid working order and 1 very
much doubt if any other mine in
the entire country is in so perfect
II condition for vigorous and con-
tinued development work as the
Charter Oak. The only thing now
needed for an active winter cam
paign is about 500 cords of wood.
We s two cords a day and have
only about 100 cords ahead of us
now. l am anxious to get that
matter off my hands and l will
then be ready for winter"

Stuck on SARATOGA

Herr Herman Lichtenstein, the
wealthy cigar manufacturer of
Rock Springs, has been visiting
his brother and sister by law, Mr.
and Mrs. Dave Polack, for several
days and to nse his own words is
''stuck on Saratoga"
He purchased the old laundry
property at the East end of the
bridge from Mrs. Wright and pre-
scented it to his sister-in-law, Mrs.
.Polack. He will return to Rock
Springs and will close out his bus
mess, and as soon as he a dis
pose of his property there he will
come to Saratoga to reside perman-
emily. He says there is no doubt
about the great future for this
town and he is tired of looking at
a never ending expanse of sand
and sage brush.

Independent Telephone Line

There is talk of the coustruc-
ton of an independent telephone
line for Saratoga and points in
the valley in the neal future.
The plan is to build from Sara
togasto Elk Mountain and Hanna
and take in all of the ranches on
the way. An effort will be made
to induce the Rural Telephone
Company to come into the organ
ization, establish a central Office
here in Saratoga and to make a
local project out of the enterprise.
The rates are to be very much
lower than the Bell service it is
claimed. The Sun is unable to
find out who the promoters of this
scheme is at this time.

RICH STRIKE
IN GOLD HILL

The Richest Free Gold Ever
Found in the West.

Glenn Scott came down, from
Gold Hill today and reports that
William Cole, owner Of the Jack
Pot, had just struck. at a depth of
10 feet on that claim, the richest
free gold find ever known in the
west outside of Cripple Greek, Mr..
Scott said: II never saw anything
like this new find. The quartz is
simply alive with fine gold and is
the rishest quartz 1 ever saw in
Wyoming" ,.e )

School HEATING Plant

80 The Board ofnSchool Trutees
inspected the new heating plant
at the School building Monday
evening and formally accepted the
same from c.. E. Jensen, the con-
tractor. Mr.. Jensen fred up the
boiler and opened all the radia-
tors, in order that the Board
might be- able to judge of the
capacity of the plant to- thorough-
lily heat the building. Every por-
tion of the plant was carefully ex-
amiued for steam leakage, or any
other defect, and all was found to
be working perfectly. The boiler
is o: the pattern knwon as Ideal"
and is capable of heating a build
ing twice the size of the present
one, and other sections can be
added asrthey n required in case
of more rooms being added. so The
boiler and coal room and the heat
ing plant stands the Board a lit
tie more than $3.50, but the i'm
provement is all permanent and
Of the most satisfactory kind.

Interesting W. c. T. u. Meeting


The w. G.. T. U. met at the home
of Mrs. Pearson Tuesday after
noon. There was a good atten-
dance and it proved to be one of
the most interesting meetings
ever held here. Seven subjects
were taken up and discussed,
among which was: What kind of
men should we aim to get on the
school board? To what extent
can religious motives and influence
be used in the public schools? and
other matters pertaining to the
parents, children and school. h
MRS W. 81. Greene sang a solo
entitled The Songs that Mother
Sang" which came in for much
favor. Mrs1D.- E. iWinsor led the
topic of the day, which was
"Mothers and the Public School"
She delivered7a very able paper
and one that created much n
-thusiasm. The subject covers IL
pages and sotoo long for repro
rduction here, but it would be a
good thing if the paper was print
ed in pamphlet form and every
parent in Saratoga permitted to
read it..
A letter from Mrs. WI Johns
ton, formerly of Saratoga, but now
of Santa Cruz, Calf, concerning
the books in the Ballard Library
whichathe w. G. T. U. have been
negotiating with j. G. Kennedy
with the view of buying them.
Mrs. Johnston says the books
were simply placed in Mr.. Kenne.
dy's care and that they do not be-
long to him. Some plan will be
worked out whereby the town can
again get possession of them, as
they are now in Mr.. Kennedy's
building and the building locked
up. Miss SensentHtfar was placed
on the library committee. The
plan is to get the library and rent
a building down in town for it,
where it will be accessible to all.

Mining Notes

Gold Hill, Colorado is today a
great gold camp. Gold Hill, Wyo-
ming, was named after it and we
predict, for this namesake, a
great future
d. T. Keech, one of the best
prospectors in Wyoming and who
made the rich strike on the Mag
nolia, was down and brought some
specimens from a new strike made
in VIM, Coler's claim. The rock
is alive with free gold. The claim
lies parallel with the Magnolia.
He also brought down specimens
of float found near there that
would run up in the thousands
Some of our citizens grub-staked
him and he went back to see if be
could locate the lead.
Louie Chaplin got the gold
fever bad when shown some of the
rock from Gold Hill. He hired a
team, took his bed and hit the
the high places for that camp.
Glenn Scott will move his fami-
ly to Gold Hill next week, where
they will remain all winter. He
will work at the Magnolia mine.
