George W. Jackson has filed his
papers as candidate for the Demo

There is probably no man In White
Pine county better or more favor
ably known than George Jackson

and for eight years was an active
follower of the mining game, in
which he was more or less heavily
interested. Ten years ago he was
appointed deputy sheriff. and for ten
years or up to the present admiris-
tration continued in that important
office.
As an officer he early made a rep
utation for prompt and courageous
action and conscientious judgment in
the many calls for service. He has
always taken an active interest In
the welfare and development of Ely
and the county and has won the
friendship and confidence of wide
circle of friends.
