Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Jan. -Unprecedent- ed i'll Arkansas history is the accom- plishment of the senate Monday in organizing completely, with all em- ployes engaged and committees an nounced in an hour and ten minutes. Had it not been necessary to send messengers twice to bring the chief justice of the supreme court to ad- minister the oath of office tc new sen- ate officials, the whole organizati n would have been created within an hour. Had there been no nominating speeches the time would have been further materially shortened. Never before were the standing committees announced on the first day of ses- sion.

 Senator B. H. Greenhouse nominat- ed Senator Harry L. Ponder of Law renee county for the presidency of the senate. Senator J. s. Utley made the speech sconding the nomination, and declared that the fact that there was no contest before the senate ln- sured a business session with no hard feelings at the start which would la ter have to be ironed out. As soon as the vote had been taken, 34 votes for Senator Ponder, Senator Carruth. who is enroute home from France, and Senator Owens, who is ill, being extended the courtesy of voting.

PATRIOTISM SHOULD LIVE.


 For one, the editor of this paper will not say one word about a man who has suffered and made sacri- fees for his country if he cannot find something good to say about him. The soldier who offered his time and life fer the sake of us at home, who faced bayonets, gas and shell, and who possibly will suffer for the rest of his life because he did that for us, does not deserve ridicule or criticism from persons who fell far short of doing half as much.
 Patriotism should live. Due appre- citation of what our boys have done for us~should not be allowed to fall ~-Dy- the wayside.

service flag with two stars, one for Senator Thos. H. Rogers, Captain with the A. k. F. in France, who has been succeeded by Chas. I. Evans, and It. Col. Hill Carruth, who is enroute home from France. l After the senate was completely organized it adjourned as the house was not yet ready for business.
 Considerable speed marked the or 1 ganization of the house. Most of the officers had been agreed upon in eau GUS, so that there were only three or four contests for minor positions. i By 80 D. m the house was suffi- ciently organized to send commit tees to the senate and the governor announcing that it was ready for bus mess.
 1 c. P. Newton of Pulaski, former representative from Lonoke county, and Harvey G. Combs of Fayetteville, was unopposed for the position of chief clerk which he has filled so long.
 The house got busy very early in l the day, and by a vote of 93 to 2 adopter a resolution introduced by | Representative Doyle of Lawrence county ratifying the National Prohi- bition amendment. Those who voted against it are W. w. Moore of New ton and Emmett Vaughan of Prairie. Mr. Doyle said he had been working for prohibition for forty-two years.
 There had been great rivalry among the members for the honor of 1 introducing the resolution for equal suffrage. There were probably a dozen resolutions burning the pock- cts of members awaiting introduc- tion, but the honor fell to the lot of Representative John A. Riggs of Garland county, the father of the pri- mary suffrage law now in force. c. V. Holloway of Lonoke and c. 5. An drews of Nevada, joined with him in the resolution. It was read twice and referred to the committee on con- stitutional amndments.

eUREkA--NEvADA COMPANY
OFFICIALS VISIT EUREKA

W. j. Robinson, president of the
Eureka-Nevada Mining Company,

This company owns and is develop
ing three mining claims on Prospect
mountain. the Lucidtuffa. Lucidtuffa
Extension, and Magnolia, which join
the Eureka-C roesus properties on
the west and south.
The company now plans to drive
two tunnels and go under the pres
ent workings to intercept a strong
body of high grade ore that is dip
ping below these workings. This ore
shoot has been exposed for over 100
feet in length. In order to go on
with the proposed new work the
company this week closed adeal with
y. T.. morse o tunnel rignts-of-way
and dumping grounds for both the
upper and lower tunnels on the Lib
erty claim ground.
d. States. superintendent of the
Eureka-N Nevada Company, states that
the visiting officials we're much
pleased with the present showing in
the Lucidtuffa and its extensions.
where a low grade ore body seven
feet wide and 220 feet in length has
been developed. A survey of this
ore body was made by Mr.. Burritt.
and the ore in sight now is estimated.
to be worth $12O. 900 at the present
price of metals. which is of too low
grade to ship. but could be treated
here by a milling process.
|. Coleman. a prominent mining
man and merchant of Salt Lake City.
accompanied Mr.. Burritt here for the
purpose of looking over the district.
