Cole is Chosen
New Pre- jdent
OF the State Association and
Wheeling Gets the Next
Convention.

The third annual convention OF
the Benevolent Protective Order OF
Elks Reunion Association of West
Virginia closed here Thursday night
with open house and impromptu re-
cept. ons at the home of the local
lodge. There was informal dancing
as well as band concerts. Gregory,s
straw band adding much fun to the
occasion and members of shinn's
band adding 20 the gala time with
street concerts.
Owing to the fair there were
thousands of persons on the streets
and they enjoyed the concert fea-
lures of the night and entered into
the open air festivities with splendid
spirit.
One of the very pleasing features
OF the reunion was the baseball game
at the Union Park in the afternoon,
several hundred Elks and ladies at
tending. The only thing to mar the
outing was the failure of the street
car company to provide cars to
bring the picnickers back to the city
and many of them had to walk in.
The day was entirely too big for the
traction company and it showed its
utter inability to measure up to the
occasion.
The baseball game between Fair
mont and Clarksburg was tie the
score being sixteen to sixteen, but it
was a very good exhibition and
plenty OF amusement was provided
by the players. The cash prize of
$50 will be divided between the two
teams. The teams lined up as fol-
lows:

County Republicans United
This Year and Are Work
ing for Victory.

CHARLESTON. Sept 19.--That the
Republicans Of Wyoming country are
united. in their support Of the Repub-
hcan state and county ticket was as
sured at the opening OF the term Of
the circuit court at Pinevllle.this weak
when more than 500 Republicans as.
sembled at the county seat for the
purpose OF hearing speeches by State
Auditor ]. S. Darst, candidate for re-
election, Congressman James A
Hughes, "A. "A. Lilly, candidate for At
torney Generah and James Damron
OF Williamson, candidate for circuit
judge Of the new twenty-second circuit
consisting Of Mingo and Wyoming
counties.
While there was some difference OF
opinion as to the nationtl ticket. not a
Republican who attended the meeting
was heard to make the slightest objec-
ton to any candidate on the Republi-
can state or county ticket. Wyoming
county is certain to give a Republican
majority OF from 400 to 500 and a
Republican win be elected to the leg
stature.
The principal address of the occa-
sion was delivered by Auditor Darst,
who presented figures to show the
great saving TO the state by the adop-
ton OF Republican business principles
in the state government. He com
pared the last year Of the present ad-
ministration with thar of Governor
Maccorkle and pointed out wherein
the citizens receive,imore than they
pay in direct taxesoySo pleased were
the voters with Auditor Darst's speech
that he was asked to appear in that
county again before the end of the
campaign.
Congressman Hughes, always a ia
vorite with the voters of Wyoming,
was assured the solid Republican vote
OF the county. He is interested in fed
eral aid in the construction of roads
"a thing needed and appreciated by
the citizens of Wyoming.
Cousin" Abe Lilly, who has prac-
ticed for many years in the court OF
Wyoming. was given most enthusiasts
tic reception.
Damron will be the next judge Of
that circuit. He has served as clerk
OF the county court of AIingo county
for the last several years and is a law
yer of recognized ability. In Mingo
county his majority will exceed the
total Democratic vote while in Wyom-
ing county he will get theh county's
usual majority.
Following the other speakers Mike
f. Matheny. organizer for the Pro-
gressive party. spoke for more than
an hour and effected an organizat ton
in the county. This was done with
the distinct understanding that all the
Republican nominees on the congress
sional, state and county ticket wonld
be placed on the Progressive ticket
also.
The Republicans of Wyoming could
not be more united in the support Of
their state ana county ticket, accord.
ing to those who visited the mountain
county this week. The meeting WAS
presided over by "a. b. shannon,
county chairman, the circuit court
having adjourned to give the visitors
"a chance TO hear politics. That every
nominee on the Republican county
ticket Will be elected is confidently ex-
pected by the Republicans of wyom-
ing county.

MINERAL
Mining in Parts of Utah
Reported as Not AT All
Profitable.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 10
IN June, 1911, reconnaissance OF
the north end of the northern group
OF the La Sal Mountains. Utah, was
made by James NJ, Hill, Of the
United States Geological Survey, ~
the purpose of ascertainipg the ex-
tent and value of the ore deposits
and the prospects for future. deyel-
epment of the region. A report on
this work has just been published by
the Geological Survey as Bulletin
b30-M. entitled Notes on the North
srn La Sal Mountains, Grand
County. Utah"
The La Sal mountains are in the
Colorado plateau region. which is
characterized by mesas cut by can
yons from 1000 to $500 feet deep,
with steep cliffs 500 and 600 feet
high. Above this relative. level
plateau, which has general eleya-
ton of 5000 feet. the northern
group of the mountains rises abrupt
ly at Mount Was to a height Of
1886 feet.
Two classes OF mineral deposits
are worked in the vicinity OF Basin
and Mesa. In the mountains there
ar several quartz mining prospects
and at least one, locality where
placer gold has been recovered The
quartz mines have made practically
no production, and it is probable
that $1,000 would cover the entire
output from both quartz and placer
mining in the region.
The quartz prospects in the north
chm La Sal Mountains are few in
number and the value OF the ore is
low even at the surface, where many
gold-bearing deposits in other dis
tricts are enriched. The veins. so
far as they could be seen by Mr..
Hill, are small and contain much
barren quartz. The high charges for
transportation to the railroad at
Cisco ranging from $12 to SIS for
outbound and $25 ton for inbound
freight. are an additions. handicap.
The placers of Wilson Mesa are
apparently Of small extent. They
contain only small quantity Of
gravel, and all the gold in it can not
be saved by sluicing, because some
of 1t is carried in powders, which
require some s5ft OF crushing. They
include so much material that surely
carries nothing of value that it
would hardly seem advisable to in
stall expensive crushing and malga-
mating machinery unless 1t were
found practical to sort the ore from
the waste by hand. Besides these
unfaYorable conditions only a very
small and uncertain supply Of water
is available for placer operations.
The placers contain. however, some
free gold that might be procured at
profit II the deposits are worked
in a small way.
A copy of this report may be OBJ
tanned free on application to the d.
rectory OF the Geological Survey at
Washington. D. c.
