THOMPSON PARK NOTES.

The park is slowly putting on its
spring dress.
John and George Sponsel have been
busy hauling oats. Because of the
washout on the Southern west of here
several farmers have not been able
to ship their oats.
Carl Schaefer returned last Satur-
day from his brothers ranch, having
helped him finish putting in his crops.
With the exception of few small
patches almost all the land hes bsep
> soSsed 20 crops:
John McCalez came down from his
mining claim to take rest and visit
his friends.
The next number on the program of
farmers will be ditch cleaning. This
will take more time and labor than
usual. The last years flood washed
away all fumes and changed the riv-
er's course. 1t will be necessary to dl-
vert the water of the La Plata river
from its new channel before the ditch
can be put in order. All men able to
get off started for the La Plata Sun
day afternoon.
The public school began its term for
1912. After one weeks school, there
will be an interval of two weeks with
out school, because Mr.. Cordes, our
school teacher, intends to attend the
teachers institute at Fort Lewis.
Mrs. Wells of Denver and Miss
Zerbst of the same place, are visiting
with Mrs Davis. Mrs. Wells has been
afflicted with severe cold since ar
irving here. Mrs. Wells, Miss Zerbst
and Mrs. Arndt were visitors at Philip
Olbert's Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Degenfelder had a
very sick baby last week. A severe
cold settled on its lungs, so that it
was in a critical condition.
Mrs. Riffy of Mancos returned
home after few weeks visit with her
parents.
The school district has bought an
organ for the school children to prac-
tice on.
Norm and Andrew Gilbert moved up
to the former Dix ranch and are put
ting in crop. The Sponsel boys are

today, before leaving, from some of

The strike occurred in some of the
old workings of the mine where the

ing, the ore running five ounces in
gold, and 20 per cent copper. What
makes the strike more remarkable is
that never before in the history of the
mine has gold been found in paying
quantities.

NEWARK, N. j., May 2e.-Colonel

ernor Wilson on the Democratic side.
were overwhelmingly winners in yes
tercays primaries in New Jersey, ac-
COS ding to nearly complese returcs
this mornins.
The Roosevelt victory was a clean
v,ep. The iornel president will Ip
parently have every one of the states S
twenty eight delegates at the Chicago
convention. In the preference vote,
his plurality was fully $4,000 over
Taft.
Governor Wilson lost only four del
egates out of the twenty-eight. These
were elected from Essex county, the
stronghold of the anti-Wilson ma
chine.
The Taft supporters hoped for a
share of the delegates until midnight,
when they ceased. to claim more than
six. An hour later their claims dwin-
died to two delegates from the Sixth
district, where strong Taft senti-
ment in Hackensack made the issue
very close. Later returns indicated
that Roosevelt has carried this last
hope of the Taft leaders by about
100.
