INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE VOTERS
If You Moved From One House
to Another in the Same
District You Still
Have a Vote

There appears to be a misunderstanding
among many voters and also some cleo
ton officers concerning the question of
transferring voters
Voters who have removed since the last
election. from one district into anetrer
and did not become transferred either ct
the Department of Elections. or on regis
tration day. have lost their right to vote.
But where a voter moved from one
house TO another within the same district
the voter retains his privilege OF voting
and is not required to be transferred
The law contemplates only removal from
one district into another In such cases a
transfer is necessary. The law only recog-
nizes the boundaries Of districts. and the
house numbers are merely for identifca-
ton.
Consequently any voter who has remov-
ed from one house into another in the
same district is entitled to vote even II
lie did not get transferred, as a transfer
is not required in such cases.
This information is volunteered by a
member Of the Department of Elections
and is intended for the voters and cleo
tion officers who may have such cases
brought TO their notice at the city cleo
tion in June.
II you have moved from one house to
another in the same district your are
entitled to vote without being transferred.

BULL FIGHTING
GOES IN CUBA
President Gomez and Others
Not Influenced by the
Protestant Preachers
BY United Press Leased Special wire

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
HAVANA. May 1S-American min
listers in Cuba to-day are convinced
that it is useless to inveigh further
against the lottery, bull fighting and
other forms of "debasing sport" which
the Cubans seem determined to have.
In their sermons on Sunday most of
the Protestant preachers roundly con-
demned the resumption OF bull fighting
and while they were launching their
heaviest shafts against this sport.
President Gomez. most Of the members
Of the Cuban Cabinet and many Con-
gressmen and other leading citizens
were az the baseball park witnessing a
bull fight.
A member OF the Society for the
Prevention OF Cruelty TO Animals was
also present. Just as the bull fight
started he raised his voice in protest
against the exhibition and the police
Immediately hustled him from the
park. The big crowd jeered the S.
p. c. a. member as he made his
exit.
Il was not much of a bull fight as
neither the bulls nor the bull fighters.

cans, were in good trim. None of the
bulls was killed. AS a starter. how
ever. the fight served its purpose very
well and showed clearly that the
Cuban people still like the sport.

IRON SPAR HOLDS ELECTION

At the annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Iron Spar
Mining company held in Wallace
Saturday.. the following officers
were elected to serve for the en-.
suing year; President, Ed Els
man: vice president and treas
urer, AL Honeker and secretary,
w. w. Bixby; John J. Curran
and Morton Webster directors.
A report Of the work done
during the past year was submit
ted. With regard to future de-
velopment it was decided to send
in a full line of supplies and
equipment at once and to carry
on development throughout the
winter. It is the intention to
continue the drift, which is now
in about 700 feet, to a point un-
der the showing made in the up-
per workings. Already a fair
showing Of copper ore has been
made in this tunnel but so far it
has occurred in punches. Con-
siderable work will have to be
done before the ore shoot of the
upper workings will be encoun-
tered. The whole face of the
drift is mineralized with several
nice looking stringers Of copper
ore showing.
The claims are located on the
Idaho-Montana divide and are
traversed by ledge showing a
surface width of about 40 feet.

I0AHo LEAO.s|lvER MEETING.

A special meeting of the stock
holders Of the Idaho Lead-Silver
Mining company has been called
for November II in Spokane at
which it is proposed to change
the name of the company to the
United Lead Mines and to in
crease the capital from $780,
600 to $4,000, 600.
This is another step in the
proposed merging Of the hold
ings of the Idaho-Lead Silver,
German-American, Knickerbock-
er, Tam O'Shanter and other
claims into one company and the
development Of the different
properties by one long tunnel
which has already been started.
Practically all of the holders
of stock in the Idaho Lead-Silver
company have already agreed to
turn in their holdings and to &C.
cept in lieu thereof one share in
the consolidation for every five
shares held in the old company.
The consolidation has acquired
the McNab ranch for the pur-
pose Of connecting the mines
with the railroad and for the
election and maintenance Of a
camp. The machinery now own
ed by the Idaho-Lead Silver
company is to be used for driv-
ing the tunnel.

START FOUR 1|MBERs WORK

Development of the claims of
the -Four Timbers Mining COM
pany, which was recently organ
lied in Wallace, was commenced
during the week and a full line
of supplies and equipment has
been sent to the property. The
holdings consist of four claims
adjoining the Amazon Manhat-
tan company on the west and
traversed. it is believed, by the
same ledge.
At present it is the intention
to sink a 50-foot shaft on the
vein and if the showing here is
satisfactory a 10OO-foot tunnel
will be started. This will give
a depth of foot for foot on the
ledge.
On the surface the ledge shows
a width of about four feet and
has a fine showing of iron car
Donates carrying values in both
lead and silver. The principal
owners are William Shannon and
Andrew Benson of Wallace and
j. W. Dietz of Colfax, Wash.
Mr.. Shannon is in charge of the
development.
