No Attempt At Crooked Work.

EVERY effort was made by Karl A.

Clintock, Roy McClintocB and a few
others 10 create the impression that
an attempt was being made last night
TO do crooked work in the first and
Fourth wards and these men. hoping
that such work might be attempted
by the opposite side, succeeded in
getting big crowd of their follow
ers around the doors of these polling
places early in the evening. Most
dissraceful scenes followed. Threats
to break down the doors were freely
made by members of the crowd ana
dlre threats were made against the
judges and watchers
Sheriff Schrader was sent for and
he visited each of the polling places
Sneriff Schrader states that in each
ana every polling place he found
everything being conducted i'm n fair
ana square manner and there was
not the slightest indication that any
Judge wanted to act otherwise. In
the first and fourth ward there was

claiming. After explanations were
made everything was adjusted very

THE RESULT IN MoNTRosE.
Especial to The Sentinel. /

Montrose, April As a result OF
yesterdays election. the most excit-
ing and spirited municipal election
in the history of Montrose the anti
saloon forces won a great victory.
Montrose as a whole goes dry by a
majority of 1923. and nearly every
candidate on the anti-saloon ticket
was elected by a narrow but safe
majority.
The city voted bonds to the extent
of $4,000 for the erection of new
city hall.
Every member of the new council
is an anti-saloon candidate with two
exceptions.
John G. Allen is elected mayor by
a majority of 63. Miss Galloway, en-
dorsed by both parties, was unani-
mously reelected as city clerk.
Miss Myrtle Goodrich. anti-saloon
candidate, is elected treasurer by n
majority of SO.
me majorities of the success can
didates for aldermen are small
There is talk of contests over sew

Diuided-A FoiE and Honest Count

The anti-saloon forces won a great
victory in Grand Junction yesterday
and naturally the cohorts of the anti
saloon party are greatly rejoicing to-
day.
The anti-salcon people have elected
the mayor, and, on the face of the re-
turns, have elected a city clerk. They
have elected, four of the eight alder
men. Consequently, with the mayor
voting with the four aldermen, the
anti-saloon forces can and Will con-
troll the city government.
The anti-saloon people have made
Grand Junction, voting as a whole,
dry by nearly 500 majority. They
have made the second ward, voting
as a ward, dry. while the First and
Fourth wards remain wet.
II the anti-saloon people carry out
their determination, no saloon Ii
censes will be issued after the pres
ent license have expired.
The people of Grand Junction are
to have a charter convention. The
proposition was swept to victory on
the tidal wave of temperance, the
anti-saloon leaders making this prop
osition one of the issues right at the
last of the campaign.
The city council is authorized to is
sue refunding bonds to the extent of
3bo,uUU, dlInOuSH Dul Iiltle Interest
was taken in this proposition and n
very light vote was cast on the bond
issue. However. the majority was
overwhelming.
The heaviest vote was cast on the
charter proposition.
1t is significant that the charter
and James II. Lee, the anti-saloon
candidate, received almost the same
vote, showing that the Lee supporters
were almost to a voter supporting the
charter.
H. F. Vorbeok has lead of only
votes over John M. Conley for city
clerk, and, as there are several chal-
enged ballots to be passed upon, the
official count Will be necessary to de-
eide this race. Mr.. Conley does not
concede his defeat.
The election was rafr and honora-
BILE and the count was an honest one.
The judges in every ward acted in
an honorable and impartial manner
throughout, in spite of the predic-
tlons made by the anti-saloon lead
ers.
The story of the day is best told
by the figures, accurately compiled as

PRESCOTT, April 11.-Since T. E.
Campbell accepted the position of gen.
eral manager of the Big Stick Gold
Mining company few months ago re-
markable progress has been made in
the development and equipment of the
property. The construction of the
twenty-stamp mill and cyanide plant
Is finished, oil tanks with a capacity of
five carloads are under construction at
Date Creek station and the building of
tramway from shaft No. to the
mill, a distance of 5000 feet, is well UNI
der way.
Development is being pushed in the
mine with force of forty-fve miners.
Stopping is in progress in the drifts
between shafts Nos. 3 and and drift
is being run to connect shafts Nos. 3
and g from which an upraise will be
run, to be used as an air shaft. AS
soon as the latter work is finished the
force in the mine will be increased and
development pushed on a larger scale
than ever.
The mill will be started April Is,
when General Manager Campbell eX-
poets to have a good supply of fuel
oil at the plant. Contracts for haul
ing oil from Date Creek station on the
S. F., P. & P, twenty miles east of
camp have been let. Other details
preliminary to starting the plant on
steady run are being arranged The
mill will be in charge of ]. H. Morri-

n RESCOTT, April 1.-THE search
for gold in some sections of the
a famous Globe district is being
prosecuted along intelligent and sys-
tematic lines, and it would not sur
prise skeptics if a number of good
paying gold propositions were early
opened in this immediate vicinity, and
that. sooner or later, there will be an
epidemic of gold fever.
Encouraging reports continue to come
from the gold fields in Lost Gulch and
Gold Guch. where high-grade ore has
float of fabulous richness has been
found Miners in these gulches for
years have made better than wages
in placer pursuits along the mountain
streams, indicating a strong lead some
where to be discovered.
In fact, these gold indications are at
tracing the attention of capital, and
during the past year number of
strong companies have been organized
with plenty of money behind them fo:
development purposes, and the out
come of their endeavor will be awaited
with keen interest.
That gold exists in the two gulches
specified there is no longer doubt, ano
we predict that at no distant day gold
from this locality will add to the fame
of the district.
Another section equally as promising
and where there is unusual activity al
present is in the Pinal foothills, to the
west and southwest of the city. A shaft

Nevada Operators Take Lease on East
End of Hillside, Adjoining Boz

crosses Rapidly

SALOME, Ariz., April 11.-Four
samples of ore brought in by President
Sharpe from the Glory Hole assayed
$23, 1853, $21, SAT, $21, 130 and ST., 1893. While
the assays do not run as high as some
that have been made they are hlgn
enough to satisfy almost anyone, anu
show that the big Salome bonanza is
still making good.
President Sharpe gave two leases,
one taking in the east end of the Hill
side, adjoining the bonanza, to X. l..
Hall, C. B. Holman and other promi-
net Nevada operators, and the other
lease to the Salome Bonanza Mines
company These two leases are both
on the main bonanza ledge and have
immense surface outcrops and indica-
tions, even being considered by some
better than the surface showing at the
Glory Hole, and while no work has
been done yet, both the lessor and the
lessees are confident that some high
grade ore bodies will be opened up.
Active developments will be started at
once on both leases.
Sharpe has a force of about twenty
five men rushing the work on the roads
to the new bonanza camp and autos
and supply wagons can soon make the
entire trip from Salome to the big
strike without packing the last mile.
Prominent mining men from all over
the United States are dropping IN,
among these being James w. Neil OF
San Francisco. Mr.. Wall of North

Southern Pacific Completes
Branch Below Great Western

here. 1t is held by some that the
freighters bring the goods as cheaply
from Pearce as the railroad will bring
them, but the railroad will probably
take care of that feature later on.
The Southern Pacific station will be
on the knoll just to the right of the
Great Western townsite as one goes
down out of the new city, and on the
opposite side of the end of the valley
from the Mexico & Colorado station
There is some difference of opinion as
to whether the Mexico & Colorado sta
ton will be on the Australia claim or
the Ell Orc. Both of these claims join
each other and both of them are at the
southern and eastern end of the Great
Western townsite.
The track will come around the base
of the hill on the north side of the
gulch and on up into the townsite, be-
tween Main and Third streets. The sta
ton will be on a switchback, with a
tail running out toward the southeast,
with connecting link running up to
the city line, thus giving the opportuni-
ties for Y on which to turn the trains.
The ceasing of operations on the
Douglas main line seems to be only a
temporary stoppage of work, brought
about by the haste to complete the line
into CORTLAND and Gleeson, where it
is said the Southern Pacific has ore
arrangements made to become opera
tive at a certain date.
