A Great Ore
Body Opened
suIphide and Cloride Formation Which Runs From s5o In con !;
Gold to the Ton Leighton Wyomins Has
Over 20 Foot Vein

Joe Z. Leighton and Jack Burton came down from the Iaiob+o,
Wyoming property in the Sierra Madre range Yesterday Mr.
Leighton made a announcement to the Sun which would eel al
most increditable II coming from any one but Mr.. Leighton Mr.
Leighton backed by his own and eastern capital has been at work ON
this property W 'hc about l9O MIR. Leighton took up the
property IN 1875 mo with the assurance that some day he would reach
the gold ore in place, has kept steadily at it. Now that thew have
his company They have had ore in the tunnel all the va bnt
they weren not satisfied to make a report until they had ascertained the
extent OF their ore body This they have done to the extent of run
ming along the side of the vein 600 feet and down 80 feet, this gives
then 1880 of on the face all blocked and they cross cut at the
bottom of the shaft ~ feet and did not reach the other side. We
cannot give the depth of shaft n tunnel in feet al we did not learn.
This is the biggest thing ever opened ina gold body. Mr.. Leighton
left this morning for Milwaukee and will return June first. He
wants a road built from here to the mine and Il telephone line put in
and then at once begin 10 ship ore and Saratoga will Re the
shipping and supply point. He wants the citizens here to help to
build the road which can be made "A splendid road for 81, 900 and the
town should take the matter up at once. The Leighton-Wyoming
have a fine plant of up-to-iate machinery and saw mill and all the
buildings are up and In fact they are in shape to go to shipping ore at
any time. They need only wait now until the SNOW is o they can
put in supplies and build The road. Some action should be taken
at once toward the matter of raising the money to build the road with.
Lack of space at this time keeps us from giving a fuller history of
that property and the promising property of that entire district.
There will be 200 miners working on gold properties alone in that
district by next fall and there is no doubt the amount of ore in that
country of velue above the average of he mining districts of the West
The Leighton Wyoming need help now that they have uncovered
the gold body of the Sierra Madre mountains in this district. The
entire country has gold in it in large quantities and all it lacks is the
actual work to make it one of the largest gold districts of the q. 5.
Mr. Leighton, the man whom we have to thank for his tireless energy
in opening up the district should have all the help possible from this
district.
We will give our readers more facts from time to time in regard
to this property and will also tell you of the values of that district as
soon as more of the miners come out in the spring. There ar Il num-
Der of men working on different properties up there now that are show
ing more than good values.

Is struggling along and may finally succeed in getting thru.
Some OF the members from the northern part of Uinta county,
are feeling pretty sore because all their efforts at county division were
oocked. They claim they were promised by the people Of Evans
Uon, n the southern part of the county, that there would be 10 op-
position to county division if everybody would turn to and SCI that
Senator Clark was reelected. AS soon as that fact was consumated
1t is claimed that cold water-ice cold, at that-was thrown on
IN county DIVISION proposition Truly, when one comes to look at
tn" attenuated proportions of Uinta county it looks like division
was needed there more than anywhere else in the entire state.
That biennial bounty law started out this time with n d appro-
lpration of $4,000 but it has been cut down to $4,000. 1t y a
most singular fact that, notwithstanding the hundreds of thousands
of dollars that the state has spent in trying to kill off the wolves, coy
otes and mountain lions, their numbers continue to increase and the
appropriations continue to climb More money spent every year
for bounty than is appropriated for the support of the University.
If a n appropriation of $4,000 was proposed for the purpose of adver-
Using the state, thus securing bomesteaders and farmers to settle up
the country and this driving out the coyotes and wolves, what a howl
would go up! When Wyoming becomes a little more thicklv set
tied there will not be 81 much need of al annual appropriation to kill
off the wolves and mountain lions.
In looking the ground all over, as this session draws to a close
there is not st much cause for satisfaction over the work it has &C
compished as the od that closed it's labors two years ago. Still it
has done some good work and has been a very fair average As legisla-
lures go.
There aea number of appointments yet to be made by Governor
Carey and many of the present incumbents, who have not been Motif
ed that they will receive a longer lease of official life, ire on the anx-
ious seat. The disappointment of State Examiner Newlln seems to
give pretty general satisfaction. He is a very capable a and Is
he has made good in his work. there is really n o reason why ne
should not be continued in Office.
There will be at least me e member of the University Board
as the Governor has asked Mr.. Gramm to resign, which he very
promptly declined to do. Just who that will be cannot be told
at this time, but it lays between John McGin, Robert Homer and J IS.
Atherly. Perhaps there may be other changes in that board hut
they have not been indicated at this time.
All of the terms of the Water Division Superintendents expire at
this time and it is certain that there will will be some changes in that
personnel of the Board of Control if not an entire change in that body

Bondsmen to Pay Up

We are informed that w h.
Greene WAS short to the extent of
some $500 of state money in the
matter of game licenses etc. while
Justice of the Peace here, and that
his bondsmen have been called on
to make the amount good. 1t will
be something near $4,000 for each
to pay. We do not know the facts
in the matter outside of the fore
going which is supposed to be cor.
rect. What action the state will
take in the matter we are unable
to learn. The law governing tn,

Our Washington Letter

Washington-The recently or
ganized National Progressive
Republican League" is not Great
ing much of a furore outside of
a few ambitious individuals active
ly engaged in its advancement.
The necessity for such an organiza-
ton today, when every measure
must be labeled progressive" to
receive consideration is not appar-
ant. The republican party has al
WAYS been Il of progress; the
nsme republican has always stood
for progress and advancement with
out undue haste liable to lead to
confusion later. 1t has met and
solved every question confronting
the most progressive nation on
earth, and will continue to lead an
advanced, safe and sound legisla-
ton. The republican party has the
advantage in seldom going off
half-cocked and what has many
times been criticised as non-pro-
gressiveness has usually turned
out to be well balanced conservat-
ism. There is less need today than
ever for a republican to go outside
of his party to find all the progress
he wants, and the history of this
country warrants the assertion
that whatever of progressiveness
that is sane and right will continue
to come from the only party that
has fathered and enacted well-set-
tied national progressive policies,
Frequently we have witnessed
a small coterie go off on some tan
gent with the avowed intention OF
setting the world on fire, only to
fail and finally fall back on the on
ly political organization that has
proven itself cayable of handling
the great questions affecting the
whole country That the --latest
progressive" move will meet the
same fate seems certain.
The selection of Senator Bourn,

Boure, whose political history has
proven him to be a most watchful
sentinel, ready to change his poll
tics to suit any on coming wave
likely to land him in preferment.
Mr., Bourne has plenty of money,
and has always spent it freely in
his own behalf In 1885 as a re-
publican member of the Oregon
Legislature, he joined with the
democrats TO prevent the nomina-
ton of the republican caucus nom
inee for United States Senator
Ten years later at the head of an
organization aptly termed"bandits''
he caused the defeat of Dolph, re-
publican, for the same place, and
for his treachery was ousted from
the state comittee. In 1897 he
prevented the reelection of Nit
chell to the senate. A candidate
himself in 1903, Bourne received
one vote-and that from a populist.
His election in 1907 is said to
have cost him $1,000 DOC
Altogether, it will be seen from
this hasty esum of his record
Mr.. Bourne is hardly the man to
place at the head of an organiza-
ization seeking to purify and
%"instil progressiveness" into the
republican party, and while many
may always be taken into dema-
gogic heroics, the prudent, having
in mind the wellbeipg of the party
and nation, will twice consider the
source before embracing this brand
of "progressiveness."

The Eleventh Session of the Wyoming Legislature draws o to a
close and Saturday night will see the final winding up of its affairs
In many respects it has been a notable session. After the struggle
by the democrats to organizethe House they Quoted down and beyond
a close lining up of forces on that occasion, matters have gone on fair
ly well. We we're assured before the organization of the House that
the democrats with the aid OF two or three insurgent republicans
would surely with the accent on the "sure") organize and control that
body. In that they failed, but it illustrates one. "thing-the demo

the end, that it simply means two elections and, consequently, just
double the expense of the old plan. Candidates seeking nomlna-
tons to office will now have to look for that preferment from the
hands of the people direct, and it will be a matter of interest to watch

Consolation Dance

Friday night Mr.. and Mrs. Carl
Willford and Frank and Florence
Jones gave a consolation dance at
their ranch on Calf creek. This
dance Was for the crowd that got
lost going out there to the last
dance these people gave which
was about three weeks ago. We
noticed that the crowd from here
left during the afternoon and so
took no chances on again getting
lost. We are informed that there
was about so people present and
this was one OF the biggest dances
of the season. The guests were
treated to a 6 O'Clock dinner, sup
per at midnight and breakfast the
next morning. We seen some of
the crowd after they got back and
they looked considerably fuller in
the face. The good people of that

a splendid time and this dance
will be remembered by all as d
