At least specimens of high grade alleged to Iinvc come from .Kano creek have been exhibited and n faint forerunner of a nih is evi dent in thnt section of the map. Ac counts of the find real like some of the good old stories that came from Cripple Creek, Goldficld and Tonopah tluriucr the infancy of thoc enmp-, but tho raot remarknble feature of the new discovery is that it m cred ited to n miner named V. O. Wo mnck. This is a name that causes every old warhorse of the Colorado field to spread his nostrils and in dulge in n reminiscence of the early days of '92. "Bob Womack discovered Cripple Creek nnd died a beeuar. lie never could keep n dollar and he pained nothintr from the find that turned hundreds of millions to tho hnnds of others. Wtimnck was one of the unfortnnnlo hnppy-jo-luckv Kip Van Winkles whose name is coupled with scores of rich finds. Never theless, few men hnd the opportuni ties of Bob Womnck. but he was in herently worthless nnd eoidd not turn his knowledcc to any ndvnntnse.

Most Mero Gamblers If fortune was fickle with poor Bob Womnck it repaid others most libcrallv, for, it is a jcmarknble fact that most ftf the men who made for Jnnes Li Cripple Creek knew nothing of the game they plajpd and were nothing more than creatures of eir rurastapees.

TWO yonrs go tho pooplo oL' ilnolcsou oounly vototl ovci'whcliningly in favor of Uonding tho county Tor $1,500,000 to construct n system of highways?. Tho su premo court hold tho hond election invalid, because of tho failure of the legislature of 1011 to pass an .enabling act carrying into effect tho road constitutional amendment of 1910. In 19J2 tho people again amended, the constitution, restricting the issuance of bonds for highway construction to tin amount not exceeding two per cent, ot tho assessed valuation of tho county. As .Jackson count vs assessed valuation is approximately $3(1,000,000, this limited the bond issue to $720,000. A petition was presented asking the count v court to call a special election to vote $700,000 thirtv-voar 5 per cent highway bonds. The court rejected the petition, Holding that the bonds would nnd a better market it the amount was kqpt well, under the limit of indebtedness, and the bonds wore retired at stated intervals, as they would then comply with the requirements of insurance companies, practically the only bond buyers in the marker under prevailing conditions. The county court litis followed a conservative and busi nesslike course. If the people are satisfied with the con struction of the main county highway and the expendi ture of the money voted, there will still bo ample time to vote the additional $220,000 lor the improvement ot lat eral highways. If the people did not hesitate to plunge the county a million and a half in debt for good roads, whv should thev hesitate to vote a third of the amount for the main high way, which in any case would have been the first road improved? Is it pot the part of prudence and wisdom to build our highway system in sections, the most important first, so that we can see whether we get value for the money"? The $1,500,000 was voted to be expended under the supervision of the county court and an advisory board of citizens, none of whom were road experts. Aluoh of the money would therefore have been unnecessarily wasted. Tho $500,000 now asked is to be expended under the direc tion of the state highway engineer, the most skilled and competent road builder in the northwest, who has built its finest highwavs and whose repute is nation wide, whose ability and integrity are unquestioned. Tho $1,500,000 was voted without promise of co-oper ation or assistance from the state. The $500,000 is asked, with the definite promise of the state highway commis sion to pay all engineering and supervision cost, and the promise of co-operation financially, for which purpose there will be $240,000 in the state treasury next year. The $1,500,000 was voted without the prospect of en couraging local industry or developing loal resources. Outside of the money spent for labor, all cement and sup plies would have been purchased outside the county. A large part of the $1,500,000 would not have been left in the. .county. The $500,000 is asked with the definite un derstanding that practically the entire amount, plus what the state expends, will be left in Jackson county and that it will encourage and develop a needed enterprise, a cement plant, entailing a $000,000 investment and a per manent payroll of large size. If the 1,500,000 appeared a good investment to the people of Jackson county two years ago, is there any question but that the $500,000 is a far better investment for the people of Jackson county today?
