CONTINUED WORK
PROVING THE
CAMP OF
JESSUP

Reports from Jessup indicate that
steady development work is being
prosecuted, and all of the various
miners in the camp are optimistic.
The opinion is universal among the
camp people that when spring opens
much work will be done.
W. f. Ellis, who is operating the
Ellis lease on the Mohawk property
is pushing ahead with Development
work.
On the Churchill property the con-
tract work has been completed. A
total of $50 feet of work was done
and at depth of IS feet, highgrade
was struck. In the ledge at the sur
face of this property, the same char
acter of rock was found, indicating
that the values continue. Chas. E.
Randall, one of the owners of the
property, has obtained options for
the interests of his co partners, and
has gone to Salt Lake with view Of
Incorporating and financing it.
+. Nenzel is gong anead with
work on the Bingo Hill property.
He is now in 40 feet and expects to
encounter ledge matter in the next
IS feet.
On the Bill Claim, Richard Key
worth and Walter Taylor have en-
countered picture rock at a depth OF
fifteen feet. This property adjoins
the Gold King.
On the Ellis Lease, Block No Of
the Mohawk estate, A. ID. Leroy
and A. w. Ellis are sacking ore of
high grade value and will soon make
IA so ton shipment. These gentlemen
Vrecently rough panned 80 pounds of
the choicest ore from this lease aud
got S24o in gold. They have about
tour feet of shipping ore.
Conditions at Jessup are looking
better every day and in all probabll
ity that camp will enjoy revival Of
the interest similar to that manifest
ed in it's first discovery.

ILLINOIS COAL STRIKE ENDS
AGREEMENT REACHED BETWEEN
MINERS AND OPERATORS.
Practically Every Demand of Men Ia
Granted-40,000 Worknen to
Resume Work.

Chicago. - Forty-four thousand I'LL
nois coal miners will resume work at
once after an idleness of more than
five months as a result of an agree
ment reached between the officials of
the mine workers and the Illinois Coal
Operators association.
Practically every demand of the men
has been granted A contract exend
ing mp to April 1, 1912, was signed.
The average increase to the miners
in wages will amount to eight cents
per ton, or an aggregate of 100000
annually. The installation of safety
appliances and general betterments
which the operators agree to give the
men VIII increase the cost of putting
coal on the market nearly IL cents
per ton.
OF the $4,000 miners who quit work
April 1, more than $4,000 already have
signed up and assume work The bal
ance will begin active work so soon as
the mines can be pumped out and put
into condition for operation. 1t is
thought that by the middle of next
week every mine in the state will be in
full operation. Several are in condi-
ton to start mining at once.
1t is estimated that the strike has
caused shortage of at least 10000
coo tons; loss in wages amounting
to $15,O00,000, and a net loss to the
operators of nearly s10,000,000.

STATE PRIMARIES RESULTS
La Toilette In Wisconsin and Charles
(. Townsend In Michigan Win in
Senatorial Fight.

Milwaukee, Wis. = United States
Senator Robert M. La Toilette carried
Wisconsin at the recent primary cleo
ton by an overwhelming majority
over Samuel A, Cook of Neenah. In Mil
waukee county the senior senator's
plurality easily will reach beyond
5000 and estimates are given of his
nomination over his opponent by a
vote of 5 to l, a larger majority than
was anticipated.
There is no doubt that La Toilette
will have control Of the candidates
platform convention at Madison and
that he will have the next legislature
back of him. So Big was his vote
that it carried with it large majority
of the legislative nominees. The La
Toilette state ticket, headed by Fran
els E. McGovern. also is nominated by
a sale majority.
Detroit. Mich. Congressman
Charles e. Townsend is conceded by
supporters of Senator Burrows to have
swept the state in the fight for the
Republican Endorsement for United
States senator at the primaries. Town
sends plurality is admitted to be
more than 1900. Chase 8. Osborn of
Sault Ste. Marie has lead nearly
as good for the Republican nomina-
ton for governor Returns from two

COL. |. L. ELLW00D Is DEAD
Richest Man in Illinois succumbs to
illness of ParaIytlc Nature OF
TWO Months Duration.

Chicago.-Coy. Isaac L. Ellwood
bne of the most prominent figures in
the life of Illinois since the
early '70s and the richest man in 1lli-
nois, died Sunday night at his resi-
dence in De Kalb, H., after an illness
Of more than two months.
Since the death of his wife nine
weeks ago Colonel Ellwood had been
sinking rapidly and physicians at no
time have even hoped for his recov-
cry. The illness from which he was
suffering was of paralytic nature
and attacked him few days after
the funeral of Mrs. Ellwood.
Colonel Eliwood was a pioneer
manufacturer of barbed wire fencing,
and to the expansion of that industry
with the subdivision of the great
ranches of the west into farms, he
owes his fortune. Aside from his
wealth and his Industrial activity,
Colonel Ellwood became one OF the
best known men in the state through
his political and financial affiliations.

BROWNE FOUND NOT GUILTY
ILLINOIS LEGISLATOR FREEc OF
BRIBERY CHARGE.
Jury Out Over Fl Hours and Verdict
Is Greeted With Cheers-Emotion
Overcomes Defendant.

Chicago.-The jury in the second
trial of Lee O'Neil Browne, leader OF
the minority in the Illinois legislature,
charged with bribing Representative
Charles A. White to vote for Senator
Lorimer. returned a verdict of not
guilty in the criminal court Friday.
In the first trial of Browne the jury
disagreed
The speedy verdict was a surprise
to the many who had watched the
progress of the second trial and had
feared that repetition of the tedious
deliberations of the first jury would
close the case. The verdict was re-
turned before Judge Kersten after the
jury had deliberated a little over
twenty-one hours.
Altogether eight ballots were taken.
The first poll showed them s to A
for acquittal and several ballots were
taken thereafter with the same re-
suit Then there was slight change
to 9 to g. Later the vote was IL to 1,
and on the eighth poll the full 12-to-0
vote was recorded.
AS the words mot guilty" fell from
the clerks lips a cheer went up.
Scenes of confusion followed. 1t was
with difficulty that the bailiffs re-
strained the crowd. 1t was then that
Browne jumped from his chair,
seized Attorney Erbstein around the
neck and they embraced each other.
A moment later Browne was torn
from his counsel by his friends. They
pushed him around the room in al
most frenzy to offer their congratu-
lations. Browne then tried to reach
the jury box to thank the jurors.
81 thank" he began, but he did
not finish, his emotions overcoming
him. Tears ran down his face.
The second Browne trial started be-
fore Judge Kersten August 1. 1t was
fought stubbornly by both sides
every moment and cost the county
and the interests back of the defend
ant many thousands OF dollars.

MAINE DEMOCRATIC
GOVERNOR, THREE CONGRESS-
MEN, AND POSSIBLY UNITED
STATES SENATOR.
FIRST IN THIRTY YEARS
Father of This Years Gubernatorial
Victor Was Last of His Party
to Win at Polls. Fight on State
Issues.

Augusta.-Maine, for the first time
in thirty years, swung into the Demo-
cratic column.
Following the trend in the special
congressional elections in New York
and Massachusetts, Ind rejecting the
revolt against the Republican ma
chine in New Hampshire and other
states, the Pine Tree state elected
a Democratic governor. Three of the
four members of the next congress
will be Democrats with the fourth
in doubt
The state senate is certainly Demo-
cratic and the indications are that the
lower house will be controlled by the
same party, thus assuring the selec-
ton of a Democrat to succeed Eugene
Hale, who has been a member of the
United States senate for more than
a quarter of a century.
The full extent of the Democratic
tidal wave cannot be definitely de-
scribed on accoant of the delay in re-
turns from some of the inaccessible
districts. But the managers of both
parties have received enough infor-
nation to show these results: The
election of Frederick w. Plaisted,
Democrat, for governor over Bert NJ.
Fernald, Republican, by a plurality
of more than 5000 and possibly
5000.
The election of William M. Pennel,
Democrat, for congress in the First
district, over Asher Hines, Republi-
can, by co.,
The election of Daniel j. McGilli-
cuddy, Dem, for congress in the sec
ond district over John p Swasey, Re-
publican, by a substantial plurality.
This is the district which was former
ly represented by Nelson w. Dingley,
the author of the tariff bill in effect
before the passage of the Aldrich-
Payne tariff measure.
The election of Samuel Gould, DEM
0crat, for congress in the third dis
trict over Edwin C. Burleigh by a
substantial plurality.
In the fourth district the contest
between George M. Hanson, Demo
crat, and Frank e. Guernsey Repub-
lican, is close, with both sides claim
ing it, The latest indications are
that Hanson has been elected, thus
insuring a clean Democratic sweep,
in the congress elections.
Returns from the legislative dis
tricts are necessarily slower than
those for other candidates. Chair
man Bean of the Democratic state
committee claims that his party will
control both houses. If his claims be
sustained by the actual returns, the
state will send a Democrat as the
successor of United States Senator
Hale.
The Republican state committee
comedies the election of Plaisted for
governor and three of the four Dem
ocratic members of congress, but has
not admitted the control of the legis-
lature by the Democrats.
In 1906 the corresponding vote for
governor was: Cobb, Republican,
5S,041; Davis, Democrat, 81 ,2S3. The
present returns show Republican
loss OF more than 8 per cent and
Democratic gain of more than II per
cent.
