The three aldermen whose term Is ex
Plrlnc, William Stlnson, A. W. Hills and
W. W. Looney, are candidates for re
election and have gone through! the legal
process of liling petitions for nomination.
At the present writing, Tuesday, they are
the only candldares who have appeared,
though petitions can be legally tiled as
Lite as l:riday. Those familiar with local
politics say that neither of these gentle
men will meet with opposition; that they
have made excellent councllmen and as
they arc willing to serve again, the town
is in luck and should give them a compli
mentary send off, In the shape of a heavy
vote.
I here are three candidates in the field
lor marshal, George Maker, the present
incumbent, John Austin, one of the hold
over aldermen, and Al Wenrlck, who
until recently was on the night patrol as
a special.
l;or rec.rder K. I.. Manning and W.W.
Tellx are the candidates; Sam Stott refus
ing to run for re-election.
One year ago i)f votes were cast at
the municipal election. There will be a
larger number cast next week, but noth
ing like a proportionate Increase with the
population, as very much the larger per
centage of new comers have not yet es
tablished a legal residence here. To do
tills, six months in the state and thirty
days In the precinct are required.
' White Quarts Stttditd With Gunc Gold.
V. I. Murray, the nssayer, has been
showing around town this week a won
derfully rich.samplc of free milling gold
rock. The specimen Is as large as one s
hand, is of white quart and is literally
lull of coarse gold. He says he bought
It from a prospector, who claimed to have
found it about twenty miles west of this
camp; refusing 10 give the exact locality.
Men who have mined In this district for
years doubt that it was found here. They
say that though some similar rock has
been taken from pockets In the vicinity of
Susauville, this specimen shows the
marks of a drill which is larger than any
Used In this section. I he sample is a
beauty, wherever It came from.
