ELLIS & 60, IN
GOOD GROUND

A very satisfactory and encouraging
report comes from 2-above Otter, where
Ellis and partners have a lay on the
upper end of the claim.
Their cut is showing up very good
indeed. The ground is not deep and is
easy to pick and wash up, so the lay
men are working it at a good profit.
The cut has now reached the edge of
the waste dump, where the pay is said
to be richer than ever. The outfit is
working "a wheelbarrows double shift
not a big force, but plenty for the
work in hand.
The centrifugal pump, hoists and
other machinery are in fine condition
and running like clockwork. A little
trouble and expense is being caused by
the defective gearing of the engine,
the cogs breaking and causing delay
while repairs are being made A new
gearing has been telegraphed for and
should be here within a few weeks,
after which the work is expected to go
forward without a hitch.
Similar optimistic reports are coming
in from other parts of Otter.

HILLSIDE CLAIMS SUFFER
FROM INSUFFICIENT WATER

The exceptionally dry season this
year is particularly hard on the opera
tors at the head of Flat and Happy
creeks. This time last year there was
enough water to have sluiced the whole
hillside, but the operators were not
ready. Now they are feeling the eff
feet of the light snowfall last winter
and the absence of rain. But even
with these draw backs it is believed
that the returns from the hillside
claims will be much larger this year
than in 1911.

has been between As, 900 and $4,000 feet

MINING NOTES

The Yukon Gold Company has taken
an option on the greater part of Slate
creek.
Operators on OF, er are pleased
greatly at the way their ground is
showing up, and some of them claim
that they are sorry they gave options
on their properties at the price they
did.
Ole Hofseth says he has good
dredging proposition on the Holokuk.
Arrivals from Willow say that creek
is almost deserted at the present mo-
ment.
New York creek, Kuskokwim, which
was the seems of stampede of consid-
cradle proportions last year, is de-
serted.
While admitting that gold is to be
found all over the Kuskokwim valley,
Shorty Davenport is not hopeful about
a paystreak being uncovered there.
Nor would he commit himself regard
ing the possibilities of the cinnabar
prospects in that region.

Madisonville is one of the best lit
tie cities in Kentucky and its people
are among the most enterprislng
anywhere. In improvements it STANDS
in the front rank. The Improvement
fever has been running high for sew
eral years and much capital has been
employed to keep step with the de-
mands of the times.
Self-appreciative but liberal Madi-
sonville has prided itself on having
one of the handsomest theaters of
any city in the State. Whether it
had a right to the claim is not for
us to say, but we can say that when
1.-The Garrick" opens to receive the
play -goers next week they realize
that, pretty as was Morton's Theater
in it's palmiest days, in the mind of
the oeriest dreamer there had not
entered any conception of what ge-
MUS, skill and art. urged on by lib
eral capital, could accomplish In
transforming it into an ideal place of
enjoyment.
This has been done and today our
thriving neighbor has a house OF
amusement that takes its rank with
the very best of the land. The Gar
rick Theater Company, which has
been busy for months in making the
changes necessary to give the city
something that the people might
more justly boast Of. is composed OF
George A. Bleich, of Greensboro; H.
W. Linton. of this city; r. S. Dulin'
of Madisonville. and w. T. Cooper,
of Hopkinsvills. The company is in
corporated and has capital Of $24.'
600.
The company purchased the Nor
ton Theater with the view Of giving
the people of Madisonville seasons Of
theatrical performances Of the very
highest order and nothing but shows
of that kind will be put upon thu
boards. Not exceeding ten or doz
en- performances win be given durini
season. During the intervals clear
moving picture shows will have tn
right Of way. and also during tn
entire year.

Another Shooting at Festival
Saturday Night Near
the City.
NO ARRESTS YET MADE.
Tandy Bowling Stops a Bullet,
Suspicion Attaching to
Henry Pool.

The colored people west Of the city
Saturday night had what they some
times call night barbecue, but it
was really "festibul," which is
more popular word with those who
more gratuitously contribute to the
entertainment of the participants
proper after the feast-very rarely
before.
1t was at the home, or near the
home of Emeline Poston. on the
Princeton road, not far from the
farm of Lucian Means.
Matters moved along unusually
smoothly unIl a time before separa-
ton, when an extra number was
auded to the program by row be-
tween two men. There were several
shots fired during the melee, but so
far as heard up to 10 o'clock yester-
day as to who engaged in the fun"
no one could be identified.
Tandy Bowling came near meet
ing sudden death by being struck by
a ball from somebody's gun. Tandy
was about, as told by his brother,
one hundred yards away from where
the shooting was going on, when a
bullet found him and entered his
left shoulder. Drs. Stone and Bas-
sett went out to the home of Bowl
ing Sunday morning and located the
: bullet. The physicians think that
: wound will heal readily.
1t is not known who fired the
shots, but some think it was Henry
Pool, a second cousin of Bowling.
No arrests had been made up to
10 o'clock yesterday morning.

former County Judges had failed to
enforce the law, and the result j.
that he. has enough work on his
