JOHNSON GRANGE

The question, "Should women be CIV
en- the right to vote?" which was dis
cussed at the last Grange meeting, held
March IS, proved very interesting sub
ject, remarks were made by nearly all of
the ladies and quite a number of the
men spoke either for or against it. The
next meeting will be held April l and
every member should make it point to
be present, as the program consists of a
mock town meeting. The lecturer has
appointed a full list of town officers
who will submit their reports and some
action will be taken on them, after which
all necessary town officers for the ensu-
ing year will be elected. Every article
that the warning may contain will be
disposed of in the way that best suits the
majority of the voters. Women will be
given the same right to vote and hold
office as the men.

SILVER KING NINE.
Pat Sheahan Returns From Property
With Fine Lot of Samples.

Pat Sheahan, the well known Salt
Lake mining operator. arrived from
the Utah capital early in the week
and went out to the Nevada Sill
yer King mine in the Silver King
district, from which the rBistol
smelter at one time drew on for
portion of its supply Of ore, more
than 1000 tons having been brought
over for reduction.
The Silver King is now owned by
Mr. Sheahan, Thomas J. Osborne and
others, and through the systematic
plan Of development undertakenthere
seems to be no question but what
the property is going to develop into
one of bonanza proportions. In the
early days, as was the case in many
other uisuicts in those times, no at
tempt was made TO do any system
alic mining. The listance from re-
dnction plants, and being without
rail facilities, the owners were I'M
able to realize profit out of any
thing but the high grade ores; which
being the case, the property was sub
jected to the "gouging" process with
out regard to the condition in which
the mine was left.
Mr.. Sheean came in from the prop
erty night before last laden with a
we'll filled sack containing nice
looking lot OF samples Of sulphides
which was obtained from the Alcyone
claim and in which six feet of ore
has been exposed showing average
values of 10 per cent lead, rs ounces
in silver and $3.50 in gold. The vein
proper is 20 feet wide, lying in a
contact between lime and porphyry,
while the entire mass contains CONNIE
cial values. Adjacent to the Alec
one, is tn Vegas claim. where three
feet Of commercial ore has been ex-
posed.
The Silver King property consists
of nine claims IN all upon which
five shafts have been sunk, the deep
est of which is little over 100 feet
