SLEMP.
Ninth District Congressman Rs-nOminated
by Monster Gathering of Republicans
at Abingdon on Yesterday.

The largest and most enthusiastic cor
vention that ever assembled in the Ninth
Congressional district of Virginia was
that which gathered in Abingdon on yes
terday and re-nominated Hon. Bascom
Slemp, of Big Stone Gap, to succeed
himself as Representative in Congress
from this district. Russell county, the
home of Henry e. Stuart the Demo-
cratic nominee, showed her loyalty and
devotion to the Republican cause by
sending the largest delegation present
from any one county. The convention
was called to order by P. j. Davenport,
chairman, and Emory Widener, of Abb
ingdon, and d. S. Lewis, of Bristol,
were made temporary chairman and
secretary, respectively. R. Walter
Dickenson, of Russell, and Col. VIM. c.
Pendleton, of Tazewell, were then se-
lected as permanent chairman and sec
retary. Hon. Thomas ]. Muncey, of
Bland, in an eloquent speech then placed
the name of Mr.. Slemp before the con-
vention and his nomination was made
amid the widest enthusiasm, every
county and the city of Bristol voting
unanimously for him. The platform
adopted endorses the Taft administra-
tion and pays high tribute to Congress-
man Slemp as Representative.

HOMESTEAD ENTRY
 RUSH IS NOW ON
fFrom Fridays Daily.)


 Prescott yesterday had its first ex- perienee in being permitted to be the center of a rush to take up govern ment land ordered thrown open to settlement last June by the Seere- tary of the Interior, and in conse- quence quite number of homestead entries were filed before U. S. Com missioner Moore in this city. The land affected in this order covers approximately 6s,O0O acres, and in cludes a strip beginning at the Point of Rocks, six miles north of this city, and extends to the open lands at Jerome Junction, following from that place an easterly course down the Agua Fria valley to the bound ary line of Marieopa and Yavapai counties. The Verde Valley also is included from Cottonwood to a point several miles below Camp Verde. i Those who made selections yester- day for homestead rights were the following: George T. Scholey, George Rohpeter, James Henderson, W. E. Pate, Oscar T. Clay, Frank D. Thayer, J. Milliken, A. L. Little, A. Alderman and T. Greene.
 | Commissioner Moore stated yester- day that the indications are that in addition to the above entries made. over 5000 acres will be filed on to- day. From the lively interest pre- vailing it is believed that before the week ends practically every foot of ground within the Agua Fria reserve will be nomesteaded.
 The desirability of this large acre, age for farming purposes is generally conceded, and from the character of the entries, substantial and large community will be the result, all be ing under the homestead class. It i. also said that a movement IS under consideration by the new community to place a well drilling outfit or certain lands to make determinations whether a flow of artesian water will not be established. The mer who have made the entries feel very much elated, and each will make sub .tantial improvements immediately or his lands.

 Resumed on Others

tons of marketable ore that will be taken out and shipped to the smelteL while the old stopes contain many more thousands of tons of milling ore that will be cleaned up and shipped.
 0. B. Amsden, general manager of the Gold Bug Mining company, was Kingman visitor last Saturday. The Gold Bug company has done a large amount of work on the properties in Weaver district the past two years, and will soon be in shape to supply large tonnage of rich milling ore to a reduction plant. Lack of water at the mines is one of the drawbacks at present to the installation of a milling plant, but this will probably be remedied when the shaft is sunk to a point below the water level of that section.
 R. J. Ferguson, general manager of the Redemption Copper Mining com pany, is Kingman visitor. Recent work on the Redemption and Clyde mines has shown the properties to be among the best in the Chloride sec tion, and with the sinking of the shaft below the oxides the chances for the opening of large bodies of sulpnides are good.
 H. M. Bowen came in from Los Angeles, Wednesday, and made the third payment on the purchase price of the Belleflower mine to Rothe & Oleson. Mir. Bowen expects to have work under way on the property by the 1st of October, and will continue the present shaft to a depth of sev- eral hundred feet. The mine shows good ore wherever opened.
 William O'Dea, owner of the Pill grim group of mines, across the val ley from Chloride, is in Kingman on business. He has just completed a erosscut of the Pilgrim vein at depth of $50 feet and on the foot wall encountered a fine body of ore, much of which shows free gold to the naked eye Salt Lake people have just completed an examination of the mines and it is probable that sale will be made.
