Vote Against
The Convention.

There is a ghost lurking about in
Florida and though not so awe-in-
spring and as pestering as the one
that troubled Hamlet, it nevertheless
is as fully deserving Of a death blow
as was Banquo's. There is still a
faint hope among some of the poll
ticians TO revive the antiquated, awk-
ward, uncouth and virtueless conyen-
ton system in Florida-stiu a tame
desire among those who have selfish
ends in view to stife the genuine
spirit of democracy. There are those
who can shine, politically, when they
have only a few men to deal with, but
when their case is taken direct to all
the people the chances are they will
get frost instead of an endorsement.
Since all the people are to be served
by those at the head Of our govern
ment, it is but just that their wishes
should at all times prevail

The HoIt-Price Letter,

Claude has spoken-so has Ger
trude.
The brunette-not "blonde"-stenog-
rapher has had her say. The threat
ened proof of the alleged letter has
been produced.
The witness is a woman, who ad-
mits she has for many years been as
sociated with L'Engle, as she terms it,
''in his work for the people.
Now wouldn't that jar you?
Strange; she is always on hand to
back up Claude.
She was the star witness as to the
LEngle version Of the conversation
between ,LEngle and Hon. w. A.
Blount in the Leon Hotel at Talla-
hassee.
1t is remarkable, however, how she
and Claude have squirmed and twist
ed about this alleged letter. Claude,
| if newspaper reports be true, stated at
Miami, and at other places, that he
obtained it from a lady stenographer
at Mariana. Why did he not state
the facts?
Gertrude wrote Mr. Holt from the
depot at Jacksonville, on the second
| day after L'Engle had exhibited his
purpOnted copy, that she had just dis
covered something of great Importance
| to him-that she had only learned it
as she was leaving Jacksonville, or
| she would have come to see him at
once, and requested him to come to
| see her at Tallahassee. If she desired
to prosecute, as now claimed in her
letter to L'Engle, why so eager to
have Mr.. Holt visit her at Tallahas-
lsee?
I made a<mistake in treating Miss
| Dzlinski and LEngle with that cour-
| Itesy usually accorded to ladies and
gentlemen, by securing for them ac-
commodations at Bristol and accom-
modatiOns for Miss Dzlensk at
Blountstown. l did not then know
these would-be reformers, and sup
| posed my private papers would not be
molested. 1t is untrue that Miss
Dzlenski and l have known each other
| three or four years as stated. While
l. have seen her, l never talked with
| her five minutes in my life until the
| fall term of the circuit court at Quincy
| last year, and then, not more than ten
minutes. At Bristol this spring. she
| stopped at the same place where I was
rooming, and I saw her several times.
also conversed with her at BIounts-
town several times, and in one of
| these conversations the amendment
question came up, and l told her | was
not in favor of the amendment, and
gave my reasons therefor.
| I employed her on the first day OF
court at Blountstown to write some
letters for me, which I dictated to her.
had with me some thirty or forty
letters which, by reason of press of
business, had not answered. I took
the letters out of my suit case, die
tated to her answers to those which
desired. I had at that time two let
ters which l had received from Mr..
Holt; 1 did not dictate answers to
| these letters, as well as to probably
eight or ten others. After debating
those desired to answer, placed the
unanswered back in my suit case, and
The Pensacola journal., 1910-05-08

delivered to Miss Dzlensk the original
letters to which l had dictated replies.
The letters from Mr.. Holt were among
those replaced in the suit case. There
was no such conversation between
Miss Dzlenski and myself as related
by her, with reference to Mr.. Holt.

a door leading into my room. These
letters from Mr.. Holt were evidently
read by her during my absence. as
one of them bore date of March 11th
She says she made copy. Strange
if she found an original of the letter
claimed, she did not keep it.
The letter itself would have been
proof positive of the correctness of her
assertions, and a "windfaIT' for
Claude. No, she did not get any orig
mol letter of Mr.. Hollis of the Ver-
bage Of the alleged copy, her state
ment to the contrary, not-Withstand-
ing. There is not any such letter

If Gertrude had said in her letter
that she and Claude had been work
ing the people, it would have sound
ed more like it-dont you think so?
If Gertrude made a copy from an
original letter of Mr.. Hollis, then she
must have the original. No letter of
that character and nature is or was in
my files. l will give her five hundred
dollars to produce the original. Is
there anything doing?
The letter received from Mr.. Holt
of date March 18th. is in my files, but
somehow the wording is different. l
am afraid, Gertrude. that you are not
a very correct copyist.
So much for the letter.
The insinuations sought to have
been sent abroad by the alleged copy
are absolutely false. Neither Mr. Will
son or Mr.. Smith, so far as | know, or
am informed, ever received a dollar
from either Mr.. Cassidy or Mr. Holt
Not one dollar have | ever contributed
to any voter to pay poll taxes, neither
have I in my life ever offered to pay
such taxes for any individual I have

Jackson county, or any other county,
with reference to the payment of such
taxes, and have not, during this cam

chief delight is to try to rise-vain
hope, howeveT-by pulling their bet
ters down. Ours have barked at my
heels before-I have survived the or
deal-and am not now losing any
sleep.
l regret the circumstances which, in
my opinion, requires that l write this
answer, but l deem it my duty to do
so in justice to those assaulted by
L'Engle in the vain hope that he
might create a prejudice in the minds
of the public, and thereby accidentally
ride into office. Poor fellow! His
hopes are built on a foundation Of
sand and on May 10th will crumbIe
and fade away. Goodbye, Claude; in
the future be a man and not a dema-
gOgue.
Respectfully,

The Sweetest

Sweeter than Memorial Day, nobler

the birthday of all the heroes of his

sacredness to Christmas, the day we
celebrate the birth Of the lowly Naza-

have named in recent years, Mothers
Day.
Mother, home and heaven! In the
home it is her heart that bleeds first,
her smile that imparts the sweetest
charm: The sunbeams of her soul rob
melancholy Of its bitterness and
soothe the aching heart. Her being
IS a priceless jewel and in her are
embodied those divine attributes, love-
sunshine and sympathy, which lend
mankind his glory and aid him or the
stormy pilgrimage to salvation. She
rules supremely over her little king
dom on earth until the hand that
wields the sceptre, not of gold or steel,
but Of deathless love, grows tired, and
as the suns radiance grows dim in the
evening, so does her light darken, only
to shine more resplendent in the morn
ing Of another World. Her spirit goes
on to inspire the seraphs in their en-
chanting melodies, whilst her memory

mother who bore you! Caress those
blessed wrinkles in her aged face-and

There rest her ashes and on that

Those days are gone now, for though

COPLEN HAS REPORT

J. D. COplen, one of the chief owners of the Barney group of twenty. eight claims, located in the western part of the Miami mining district. has recently returned from combined business and pleasure trip to the Pacific coast. MT. Coplen reports that the development work now, under way at the Barney group is bringing results as good as an. ticipated. At present about sixteen men are employed at the property. A part of this force is engaged in building road east and west across the property. So far, this road has been extended for about a mile west of the vertical shaft.
 A single-compartment, vertical shaft is being sunk in the east end of the Barney group. This shaft is now about thirty feet deep. With continuance of development work, the Barney group should develop ore reserves of much the same nature as has given val. ne to other mines lying east of it.

SHAFT SINKING ON
 COLE MINE
About Seventy Feet Made in Time Elapsed Since Be
 ginning Work

At the mine of the Cole Development company, located in the Gibson district and about three miles west of the Gib- son mine, a force of men is at work sinking the shaft to greater depth. The shaft on the Cole property is linclined at an angle of about fortytwo degrees.
 Its inelining depth at present is 3S5 feet. The vertical depth attained by this shaft is approximately 24O feet.
 Since work in this shaft was resumed the first part of October, 1909, about seventy feet of sinking have been done, for the most part, through high grade chalcOpyrite, such as is mined by the Gibson Copper company. Chalcoeite, also, has been present in the shaft for the past forty or fifty feet. This low grade ore occurs in a vein running par allel to the high grade lode and separat- ed from it by thin partition of ma terial resembling tale.
 The recent developments on the Cole property have been extremely eneour- aging to the owners, who have in the mine a degree of confidence which seems well grounded, in view of the results obtained in the shaft work.

The Inspiration Copper company is continually adding to it's surface equip- ment.

The tenth family residence is being built at present, and in the opposite direction from the main office building, accommodations for about thirty men are we'll under way. Tbese are in the shape of three-room cabins and are conveniently near the company boarding house.
 A good sized warehouse is nearing completion. This is located just east of the office building. Other buildings, such as change-houses, have also been put mp recently at the various parts of the company s property. The line for the tunnel from Keystone Gulch has been surveyed and work is in prog ress.

WILLIAMS SHAFT IN STREAK IF PURE
 LIMESTONE
Should Reach Vein at Fur ther Depth of 100 Feet
 Is Estimated

The bottom of the Williams shaft of the National Mining Exploration com pany IS now in very pure limestone. The distance through which the lime bearing rock has prevailed in the shaft is one hundred feet. The diabase con. tact with the limestone was cut through at the depth of 3s4 feet and the present depth is ASA feet. The depth at which the vein is estimated to mteresect the country rock is 150 feet below the present depth, it being esti. mated from the dip of the outcrop that the shaft should encounter this vein at a depth of 620 feet below the col lar of the shaft. At the average rate of sinking in this shaft, this depth should be reached by the work in about six weeks. Superintendent II, w. Wood ward is employing about twenty-five men.
