Rich silyer-bearing quartz brought
in from near Cedar Corral by J. j.

cause of a little stampede for that
camp this morning. The strike is
a new one, and is about three miles
north of Cedar Corral, or Volcano,
and has been made by Clark and
Johnson. Mr.. Clark, in speaking
of the strike this morning had the
following to say:
II am certain that we have one
of the largest milling propositions
that has been discovered in this
section of the country. SO far we
have done no work, as we only
made the locations a few days ago.
The ledge is from % to 40 feet

500 feet. Assays taken across the
ledge show good milling values,
practically all silver and very little

The cage with its human freight

but unconscious, bruised about the
head from having struck against
the timbers.
Harrington was the only man on
the cage in a standing position and
it was only because he had bull

head that he had not fallen in the

DISTRICT COURTS
ARE Affected
DECISION REGARDING FEES TO
BE HEARD UPON THE
STATE COURTS.

CARSON CITY, New, Aug, 2S.-
Attorney Sardis Summerfeld of Re
no walked into the office of the
clerk of the supreme court today
made by the justices relatives to
court costs. He was shown the
order or decision. The decision
has not yet been given the pub
lie, as the members will add to it
before it is signed and printed.
It will include the cost fees IN
the pending election contest.
Mr. Summerfield, on being asked
what he thought of the decision,
stated that in his mind it would
affect every district court in the
state That it would undoubtedly
cut down the revenues Of the courts
and county treasury, but at the same
time it would be a sweeping bene-
fit to the litigants throughout the
state.
Other attorneys are anxious to
see the decision in print, and as
soon as it is signed and turned
over to the public the lawyers
throughout the state will endeayol
to have the ruling enforced in the
different district courts of this
state Many inquiries have already
been received by the clerk Of The
court relative to the matter ant
they will be answered as soon a:
the entire decision is ordered pub
lished by the court, The fact tha
it was read from the bench makes
it public property, but the ordeI
lacks the signatures of the cour
members to make it complete

of the boomers did at the time
of the previous strike, but very
politely informed the news gath

the machine shops of the Southern

The great structure is haunted by
the ghosts of it's former activities.
Betting hangs slackly over the
wheels and the giant machines

1t is seemingly "A small matter
for the machine shops to be closed

of it the portent that all regret

sible for this action.
There is a general and COM

it is the gauntlet thrown down.

for the shutdown, and shutdowns

as the equipment was never in bet
ter condition.
1t was intimated by a railroad
employe that the federation has
voted in favor of the strike, al
though the figures are not given
out.
The federation is a new organiza-
ton, formed last June. 1t embraces
the machinists, blacksmiths. sheet
metal workers, brass workers and,
in fact, all the unions that com.
prise the workers in and about rail-
way shops
There are three unions that have
coalesced into the federation at
Sparks. 1t is said that they voted
separately on the strike question
and that one of the unions favored
the strike and two were opposed,
but the majority of the one union
was so great that it overcame the
other two and thus the Sparks
federation has voted to strike
It must be understood, however
as before stated, that this informa-
tion is not authoritative, but is as
near The truth as can be obtained
under the present conditions of Sc
/ cretiyeness.

CITY ATTORNEY
MAKES STATEMENT

Editor Examiner:-.There was an
error in, the last issue of the Examin-
er, in making it appear that had
recommended to the city council that
bonds be issued without vote of the
people to pay the city indebtedness.
What | did do was to advise the
council rs q matter of law that bonds
could be issued for such purposes
without a vote of the people, provided
the interest was not increased. The
following is a true copy of my COM
munication to the mayor and city
council on the 1st day of June, 1911,
with reference to this Indebtedness: !:
To the Honorable Mayor and city
Council, Montpelier. Idaho.
Gentlemen:-Outstanding city war
rants, | recommend the following, or
a similar, plan of adjustment:
1st. All material on hands for
which any of these warrants were
issued to be returned dollar for dollar,
and warrants cancelled for amount of
same.
End. All funds on hands at the end
of the fiscal year ending May end,
1911, be applied in payment Of these
warrants, the general and contingent
expense warrants having preference.
Bird. Call an election on a bond
issue to cover balance of the warrants,
provided holders of warrants will
agree to accept bonds in payment for
the warrants in case issue is approved
by voters and the city is unable to
dispose of same by reason of any ir-
regularity in contracting the indeht-
edness the warrants evidence. If
voters fail to approve the issue then
warrant holders will seek relief in
court in snch manner as they may
prefer.
| am advised that our supreme
court will soon adjourn for she sum
mer, so it is not probable that deci-
sion of that court can be had in time

MRS. JOS. JOHNSON
GONE TO FINAL REST

At her home in Ovid last Mon.
day morning, the spirit of Mrs.
Joseph johnson took its fight from
this earthly sphere to its eternal
home in heaven. Her death occur.
red just four weeks to the day after
that of her husband, and while it
brought double sorrow to her child
rem and relatives, yet 1t may be said
that her demise was a blessing-a
relief from her % years of suffering
with rheumatism. The greater
portion of those years she has been
helpless, but she bore her affliction
without lnurmur.
The immediate cause of her death
was rheumatic fever, with which
she was stricken just a week prior
to her death.
Mrs. Johnson's maiden name was
Mary Sorrenson. She was born In
Norway on sept. 22, 1854, and
came to America in 1862 with her
mother and other members of the
family. They arrived in Salt Lake
in October of that year. Miss Sor-
enson came to Bear Lake county in
the spring of 1879, and in October
of that year she was united in mar
riage to Joseph Johnson. Seven
children were born to them, all of
whom are living but one. She is
also survived by three brothers and
one sister, all of whom reside at
Ovid.
Her funeral services were held at
the Ovid meeting house last We'd
nesday afternoon, and we're attend
ed by friends from all all parts Of
the county. The speakers were
President J. r. Shepherd, Bishop
Lindsay, L. P. Jensen and Nels
johnson of Ovid, F. Sleight of
Lanark and F. M. Winters of
Montpelier.
