Automobile Takes Plunge in River

Chicago.-An automobile contain ing four persons plunged into the Chicago River at Jackson boulevard and the occupants of the big tour ing car were drowned. A witness to the accident stated that the bridge at Jackson boulevard had been left open for steamer to pass through, and that the automobile, which had approached the bridge at rapid rate struck the abutment, turned over and fell into the river with all its passen- gers.
 A momen later he saw a man and a woman struggling in the water. The woman screamed for help, and just as the bridge tender threw out life preservers to the pair they sank and did not appear again.

STRENGTHENING LEGAL TANGLE
Power of Circuit Courts Over Elec
 ton Contests Questioned.

In order that the supreme court should determine the question as to the jurisdiction of circuit courts to require a recount of the votes cast in an election for state senators, the response of the Sebastian County Election Commissioners to the mo- tion of Thomas Boles to dismiss the appeal in the case of Boles against the Sebastian County Commissioners was presented to that tribunal.
 The ground on which Boles asked for dismissal of the case was that the order of the Sebastian Circuit Court for a writ of mandamuS dl- recting the election commissioners to recount the votes in certain wards and townships in Sebastian County, cast in the Twenty-eighth district at the election held September 4, 1908, had been superseded before the order of the court has been complied with, the Senate having declared Holland entitled to the seat. On this account, Boles, the Republican contestant, contends that the question presents no real controversy, and that the appeal should be dismissed.
 The Sebastian County Election Commissioners, who are the appel lants in the case, raise the follow ing questions to prevent the dismiss sal of the case, and have asked the supeme court to pass upon them:
 Have circuit courts jurisdiction to issue writ of mandamus to con- trol or cause a recount of the cleo tion returns of state senatorial cleo tions?
 Have they jurisdiction to issue such writ after the certificate has been issued to the person whom the returns how to be elected?
 Have circuit courts the power to grant writs of mandamus to compel the performance of ministerial acts after they have been performed as required by law?
 Have circuit courts the legal pow CT to issue writs of mandamus to obtain proof to be used in a sena-
 
 torial contest?
 "Can the process of the writ of mandamus be used as means to aid and assist, and as an auxiliary to pending proceedings contesting state senatorial election?

ANOTHER BIG
!: !. AUTO CONTEST

st The Spokane Motor club will
,Sgain hold hill climbing contest
this year, according to the an.
iouncement made last evening by
Lawrence Jack, secretary OF the
organization. Mr.. Jack says at
least four cups will be offered and
the splan is to have the event con-
dHcted on even a much larger
scale than last year.
The plan Is to again hold the con-
test on the Monroe street hill and
have the cars classified in a man
ner to insure close contests. The
matter of holding an endurance ruiz
lis again being talked of but many
members of the club fear that the
roads in the, vicinity of Spokane
are such that the run would hardly
be a success. In case good
course can be secured, however,
the run will be one of the big
events of the year.
Mr.. Jack also announced that
the annual automobile picnic would
again be held this summer, the
one last year to Hayden Lake prov.

until they got well along toward
the middle of their address. At
least few ever found out what they
were talking about until they sat

intuition or guesswork.
But the real double sommer-

In the same discussion Palmer
of King later was guilty of one of

ton people has now reared it's hor-

figures and production. Only a few
places in the world have such bodies
of ore as those found in Luckboy
been discovered, two in particular,
which have netted the owners large
dividends, one in Freidburg, Ger
many, the other at Hornsilver, Utah.
The character of the ore is a steel
galena mixed with tetrehedrite.
Adding the gross production of the
Mccormack, which amounts to $780,
600, and production of $4,000 by
the Mountain King people before the
Hubbard capitalists took over the

SILVER bow IS
AGAIN ATTRACTING
The CAPITALIST
PIONEER OF THAT CAMP HAS
GREATEST FAITH IN IT'S
FUTURE.

w. G. Cook, postmaster at Silver
Bow, was an arrival in Tonopah yes
terday from the camp in the Kawich
range that at one time was the
scene of considerable excitement.
Mr.. Cook has stayed with Silver
Bow since the days when it first at
tracted attention. His faith in its
future is as strong as ever it was;
in fact, he says that during the past
few weeks the district has come in
for more attention than for a great
while. Capital is heading that way,
endeavoring to secure a foothold
there. During the past seven days,
automobile parties have visited the
district and left with a high opin-
ion of the properties.
Several parties have made efforts
to secure the Gregovich property.
The owners are holding the ground
at figures which do not meet the
approval of the intending purchas-
ers, consequently it's transfer is
doubtful.

operators there, mining man who
spent considerable money in pros
pecting and opening up the Wild

Horse property, is expected in the
camp most any day after an absence
of many months. He will again in
terest himself there according to adj
vance information.
Mr.. Cook himself has a number
of holding on each one of which he
has done considerable work. On
some of his claims be has opened up
ore of good grade, though it is not
of sufficient proportions to admit of
shipping. Mr. Cook states that the
people there are pinning their faith
to the camp in the hopes that the
Ely-Goldfield road is a reality of the
future. In the event that road is
constructed, Silver Bow will again
come to the front, the district being
fairly alive with ores of a milling
grade. The values are gold and sill
yer, the lodges being strong and
we'll defined.
Specifically, Silver Bow is as
promising a district as one would
want to see. 1t enjoys rush a
few years ago, but property owners
there were greedier than wise with
the result that instead of capital be-
ing invested to take a hand in the
development of the camp it was
practically driven out. However,
these conditions have changed and
Silver Bows star seems at this time
to be in the ascendency
