HUGHES
ACCEPTS
NOMINATION

Washington, d. c., June 10-Charles
Evans Hughes stepped down today
from the Supreme bench and, again a
private citizen, accepted the Republi-
can nomination for President. In a
telegram ringing with denunciation of
the administration foreign policy and
declaring for dominating. thorough
going Americanism, he gave his decis-
ion to Chairman Harding, of the Re-
publican National convention, and
broke the long silence which had kept
the leaders of his party in the dark as
to his attitude toward the great issues
of the day.
II have not desired the nominal
tion. said the telegram. II have
wished to remain on the bench. But
in this critical period Of our National
history. recognize that it is your
right to summon and it is my para
mount duty to respond"
Within an hour after Chairman
Harding had notified him Of his nomi-
nation Mr.. Hughes had accepted the
call. His resignation, scant two
line letter without superfuous word,
was on its way to the White House,
from the Hughes home before the
nominee had dispatched the message Of
acceptance, and called the waiting
group Of newspaper men into his study
to tell them Of his decision. President
Wilson accepted the resignation in a
reply almost as brief. Apparently
Mr.. Hughes letter was franed so tbat
the President might be saved the en-
barrassment of expressing regret or
making more than formal reply.
II hereby resign the office Of asso-
eiate justice of the Supreme Court Of
the United States" he wrote. To
which the President replied: III am
in receipt of your letter of resignation
and feel constrained to yield to your
desire. therefore accept your resig-
nation as justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States. to take effect at
once. -

she had played to her own boredom
had ended abruptly, leaving her at the

In the days when New Mexico was
hinterland an Indian showed some
specimens Of rock he had found on
Badly Peak to white men. who recog-
nized them as copper ore, and who.
guided by the Indian. found the ledge
and located a prospect. The men do
ing development work on this conner
prospect in 1866 found placer gold and
traced it to its parent ledge. The
placers yielded s2,250, 900 and the gold
mine about s1.l50,000. but the rich ore
was exhausted in few years. and for
over forty years desultory prospecting
for other ore bodies was carried on
without notable results In recent
years prospecting based on the
geologic relations of the old ore body
resulted in the discovery of a new
body OF rich ore. which has yielded
nearly s250,Oo0 in ten months and is
still producing.
