Authorities BaffIed.

Foster Bradford is the convict who
has been identified as a member of
the gang operating a spurious mint
inside the prison walls. Just how
many is in the gang is not known, as
Bradford will not talk.
In the last few months many COM
plants of counterfeit money being in
circulation have been received, the
usual form being dollars and nick
els. The officers have been some
what perplexed as to the source of
this spurious money, but with the
evidence that the false coin has been
manufactured inside the walls of the
state prison the mystery is somewhat
cleared up.

Democratic Campaign Opening

Last Saturday evening Hons. NJ. A. Smith and Reese NJ. Ling, candidates for the advisory vote of the party for U. s. Senators, and Lamar Cobb, who seeks the democratic nomination for Representative in Congress. addressed the people of Kingman at Elks Hail. While the audience was not large there was much enthusiasm. Messrs. Ling and Smith are we'll known to the peo- pie of Kingman, and although Mir. Cobb is new figure in the political arena of the north he was we'll re- ceived. Dr. Whiteside introduced the speakers to the audience, while E. F. Thompson, a member of the State Central committee, and other local democrats, were on the platform. Mark Smith opened his campaign here, this being the first place in which he made an address in the territory, con- sidering it good omen to come to old Mohave to tell his wants to her people.
 During the day Messrs. Ling, Lamar, VTithers, Lovin and others visited Chloride and also went out to Goldroad the following day. They were all greatly surprised with the great de- velopment going on in the county, and while they went out to enthuse the voters they were also enthused over the great mining prospects of the county.
 The gentlemen departed Sunday night to the east.

Finding a Skeleton.

This week H. G. Schader and Rob- ert Rosco brought in from Weaver dis trict part of the skelton of a man that they found a few days previous near the old Jumbo mine. The bones had been scattered over a wide area and only the skull and few of the other bones were gathered up. The bones showed the action of the hot suns and the elements of years, being bleached and decomposing. Near the skull was found two coats, one a black diagonal part of the overalls were also found, but not one mark of identification was obtainable. In the upper jaw bone there was one very prominent and pro- truding tooth, the surrounding teeth being missing. The bones are being preserved that possibly some one will identify the remains by the pecul- iarity of the tooth, but it is not prob able that the identity of this poor fel- lON VIII ever OS hnOhh.
 During the past few years several men have disappeared in that section and no trace has ever been found of them, but those that knew the men are sure that the skull is not that of any one of them. Several years ago a prospector named William Fitch dis appeared from his camp near Burns ranch, and although search was made no trace had ever been found. Two years ago a man named Sears jumped from wagon near Chloride and took to the hills and was never found. It was said that worry had driven Sears insane, and that he probably wandered into the hills near his old home in Weaver district and perished for lack of water. Last winter J. c. (Scotty) Miller left the cabin of Barney Me Call, at Gold Hill camp, to go to bed and disappeared, and although diligent search was made no trace was ever found.
 It is more than probable that the man whose remains were found in that lonesome section was a prospector, who, not knowing the country, per ished from lack of water, as the place is far removed from the Colorado riv- CT and water is only to be had at springs that are hard to find.

In speaking Of the articles that have

There is no one who denies any law
abiding body Of men the right to
organize. An organization of the
character mentioned has its mission
and its work to do If it be a farmers
organization strictly speaking, well
and good. 1t is our personal opinion
however, that the class of farmers
who have settled Southern Idaho, are
capable in every way Of combining
into an organization and of
holding every Office therein We do
not believe that they need call upon a
lawyer to head them and an editor to
record them.
The shoals which all public organi-
cations of this character must avoid,
are the semi-soldiers of fortune. The
merchant wants to sell, the lawyer
wants retainers, the editor wants cir

everything in sight. An are anxious

reputation for themselves, that is hard
to beat, as there was on display there,
products from every county in the
state, and some of it raised on land
that is setting as high as $500 an acre,
while the land in Lincoln county on
which the prize winning products were
raised, has only cost the settler the
small sum of from s35. so per acre to
$50. so per acre.
Owing to lack of time the Richfeld

Richfeld Tract could have carried
