pr. GodshaIi Buys More Mining Prop

This week Dr. l.. D. Codshall, who has been looking over the mines of this county the past two weeks, in company of A. P. Anderson, the well known mining engineer, entered into con- tracts for the purchase of the Bryan mine, at Stockton Hill, from J. H. Johnson, and the Little Jimmie mine, at Union Basin, from James Dundon. Dr. Godshall has been buying a large acreage in the Stockton Hill and Todd and Union Basin sections, which nal es the mines almost contiguous proper ties. The purchases so far made con- sist of the Stockton, Bryan, Jubilee and Winchester mines, at Stockton Hill, and the Silver, Bethel and Jim mic mines, in Todd and Union Basins. Besides these properties Dr. Godshall is interested in the Star Spangled Ban- her, Infallible, Alta, Silver Legion and some fractions at Stockton Hill. It is expected that all of these prop critics will be consolidated under one corporation, and that corporation is generally supposed to be the United States Smelling and Refining company, as Mr. Anderson, who has been look ing over the ground with the doctor, is the principal expert of the company. When the work of organization is com.
 
 large force of men, it being the inten- tion of the company to sink at least three 500 foot shafts on the Cupel, De la Fountaine and Star Spangled Ban her mines. Some work will also be done on the other mines of the group.

The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1909-06-10

An anonymous circular headed "Tax-
payers Bulletin" was quietly circulated
among many Of our citizens the past
few days. 1t is published verbatim at
the head of the reply to the same made
by the executive committee of the Leon
Commercial Club, and we ask all voters
to carefully read it and the reply. The
parties who prepared and circulated
this circular did not sign their names
to it and no one can be found who will
admit being the author. 1t is incorrect,
untrue and misleading. The parties re-
sponsible for it are evidently not in
favor of patronizing the business in
dustries of their home town for they
had it printed in printing Office out
side Of Leon, although either Of the
Offices in this city could and would
have done the work just as cheap as
it was secured at Davis City.

More Slush From Taxpayer. /"

A second anonymous circular urging
citizens to vote against the proposed
nesday morning, having like the first
one been printed outside of Leon, the
parties responsible for it's appearance
evidently being "strong" in favor of
patronizing home industries and enter
prises which give employment to Leon
people. Taxpayer" makes no effort
whatever to explain the false and mis-
leading statements which appeared in
the first Bulletin and as it's character
has been exposed by the reply of the
Leon Commercial Club, the slush in the
second circular is not worth noticing
for it does not amount to anything
at all. Let no man or woman be de-
ceiyed by statements appearing in these
anonymous circulars, and it seems that
no one could be found who was willing
to sign his name to the circulars. It is
to the interest of all the people to vote
in favor of waterworks.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1909-06-10

We have been asked why two men,
bers of the city council are opposed to
the waterworks bonds, and why they
did not object to the time the bonds
were to run or the rate of interest at
the time the city council passed the
resolution calling for the submission of
the question to a vote of the people.
An examination of the records discloses
the fact that DR.. o. W. Foxworthy made
the motion that the resolution which
provided for the bonds be adopted, and
when the roll call was ordered by Mayor
Gates every member of the city council
voted in favor of the resolution. The
records show the following result of
the vote on DR.. Foxworthy's motion to
adopt the resolution which fixed the
rate of interest Of the bonds at A per
cent: G. M. Axes, yea; e. e. Bell, yea;
r. W. Craig, yea; F. L. Conrey, yea; ].
q. Evans, yea; Q. ". Foxworthy, yea.

BE A BOOSTER.

To the Voters of Leon:--Having signed
statement with other members of the
council as to our attitude on the water
works bonds, desire to explain that
signed the same without due considera-
tion and thought. That had | known
said statement was to be used as a
campaign document in favor of said
bonds, would not have signed it. Up
on reading the article since it was pub
lished think it is misleading as to
what the council would have right to
do under the petition for said election.
While do not think it is wise to issue
said bonds, on account of the high rate
of interest and running 20 years before
we would have right to pay any of
them, wish to say that will try to
comply with the provisions of the law
authorizing the issue of said bonds
should the voters of Leon decide they
should be issued. J. Fl. EVANS.
The above signed statement was
brought to The Reporter Office on Tues
day, with the statement by DR.. o. W.
Foxworthy that it was signed last Sat-
urday by Mr.. Evans who left Monday
for Ft. Dodge and has not returned
home. In regard to Mr.. Evans state
ment that he signed the agreement with
other members of the city council, with
out due consideration and thought, we
desire to state that the agreement was
presented to Mr.. Evans by Senator J.
D. Brown, and after he had signed it Mr..
Evans expressed himself as being salts
fed, that it was just what he wanted.
Senator Brown also left town Monday
morning to attend the g. A. r. encamp-
ment at Ft. Dodge, go that it is impos-
sible to obtain q statement from him in

regard to the manner in which Mr..
Evans signature was secured. The
statement signed by Mr.. Evans was not
written by him but was prepared and
written by parties who are opposing
the waterworks, but his signature ap-
pears on it. Read the agreement signed
by the members Of the city council and
then compare Mr.. Evans statement and
draw your own conclusions.

ROBINSON TO SUE WORLD.
Presidents BrOther-in-Law to Move
i'm Libel Cases.

Washington, Jan. 30.-Douglas
Robinson, President Roosevelt's bro
.her-in-law, has definitely decided to
become the complainant in the pro-
posed prosecution against The New
York World and other newspapers,
for alleged libel in connection with
Panama Canal publications. The an
nouncement was made from the
White House yesterday morning.
The government received a set
back yesterday in the indictments
against The New York World, when
j. Agnus Shaw, secretary and trea-
surer of the Press Publishing Com
pany, which prints The World, re-
fused to testify. Mr.. Shaw, after an
swering the usual formal questions,
refused to make any further state
ment, declaring that he did so on the
advice Of counsel on the ground that
he might incriminate himself.
Before Shaw was called they made
an effort to have him excused, stat
ing to United States District Attor-
ney Baker that their client would not
testify. The attorneys assert that
there is ample precedent for his re-
fusal and cite the opinions of Judge
Wright in the cotton leak cases.

GARFIELD TO LEAVE CABINET.
Not to Have Portfolio Under the Next
Administration.

Washington, Jan. 30.-The def
mite statement can be made that Jas.
r. Garfield, secretary Of the interior,
will not be a member of the cabinet
of the next administration. Neither
will he be an ambassador to a for
eign country. He will return to his
home In Ohio and take up the prac-
tice of law.
There is almost as good authority
for saying that there will be a clean
sweep of the present cabinet, unless
it should be Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson and Postmaster General
Meyer. There is said to be much
doubt as to Mr.. Wilson. No state
ment has come from Mr.. Garfield,
but to an Associated Press represen-
tative to-day he admitted that he
would not be in the next cabinet.

gether, one Of which Mrs. Hughes
now has. He states that Parker told
him he was from Buffalo, n. Y, and
