Washington.-The Progressive party

to have its interest for Democrats and
Republicans with their own campaigns
ahead of them. Headquarters have
just been opened by the Progressiyes
IN Washington and from this city the
campaign of publicity will be directed.
The Progressives here say their
party is breaking precedent, for lit is
the first time in the history of polit
lcal organizations that campaigning
with an eye to the future has been
carried on during the months that the
politicians usually call stagnant."
Walter F. Brown of Ohio will be in
charge of Progressive headquarters in
New York city, and work along diff
ferent lines will be carried on stimuli
taneously from the metropolis and the
capital. 1t is announced that the
Progressive Bulletin" will contain, in
addition to the news of the party. ar
ticles of "a proper propaganda spirit"
written by men and women. known
to the country for their work along
lines of political, humanitarian and
sociological endeayor.
1t is the intention of the Progress
sives to start at once an organization
in every county in the United States.
Of course many Of the counties in the
states where the Progressive vote last
fall was heavy, already have been or

 The new ledge runs parallel with the old tunnel and new shaft is being sunk on the ledge in order to determine it's dip. The shaft is now down 22 feet on the ledge and the ore maintains it's value and width of the vein The ledge has been traced on the surface for distance of 500 feet.
 A mill test of the rock will be made by the mill on the property as soon as sufficient ore has been taken out ta gain fair average of values.
