Calc’s Candidacy
Strongly Endorsed
-X .
FAIRBANKS, July 28.-A most op
timistic telegram was rtceived from
Thornes Cale last night, says the Times
today. It was received by a prominent
local supporter, and in it Cale announ
ces that Murane was nominated by the
republican convention at Juneau for
the long and short terms in congress,
and that Swineford and Mellen were
nominated for the short and long term
. respectively, by the democrats assem
bled at the same place.
Mr. Cale states that the ranks of both
parties have been badly disrupted by
ill feeling engendered as a result of the
conventions and strongly affirms his be
lief in the success of the Cale-Waskey
movement.
Everywhere along the line he states
in his dispatch he has had an enthusi
astic reception on the part of the vot
ers, and public meetings of thoroly re
presentative citizens have in many pla
ces puDiiciy endorsed ms candidacy.
The name of Mr. Waskey is linked with
his own in all his statements, and the
voters of the territory are strongly
urged by Mr. Cale to stay by his run
ning mate on the ticket.
Apart from his own strength Mr.
Cale will undoubtedly draw an immense
vote by reason of his coalition with Mr
Waskey, and he is desirous that his
friends in the Tanana and thruout the
rest of the courtry should stand solidly
by his friend for the short term.
Mr. Cale will leave June iu, where he
is at present staying, on the 26th for
Skagway. and a rousing reception has
been arranged for him on his arrival.
Tom Cale Due at Rampart
Geo. W. Ledger, president of the
Rampart Miners' Association, states
that Tom Cale is expected at Rampart
shortly. Mr. Ledger has arranged to
communicate with Mr. Cale upon his
arrival at Eagle. It is proposed to in
duce him to pay a visit over the divide
and meet the boys personally. The
reception committee appointed by the
association will be on hand to receive
Mr. Cale upon his arrival.

Hoosier Hydraulic
On Rich Bedrock
Jack Welsh is in from Hoosier and
reports that while the operations of the
hydraulic company are not going for
ward as speedily as desired owing to a
rearrangement of the elevators not yet
completed, the ground so far uncovered
is fully up to expectations. The bed
rock ready for shovelling in averages
$2 to the square foot. No regular clean
up has yet been made and the amount
in the boxes is considerable.
Manager Koonce was in camp a few
days ago and stated that something in
the neighborhood of $4,000 had been
picked up and cleaned up out of some
that had to be moved. Considerable
ground will be moved before the close
of the season.
Hootlanana Ditch
Construction Starts
Frank Manley has a gang of men at
work building a dam on the Hootlinana
preliminary to the construction of a big
ditch line for supplying water to the
Pioneer benches.
This is the project which H. F.
Thumm failed to float outside last win
ter. Thumm was lacking the necessary
nerve to tackle a proposition of this
magnitude; he is a big man—physically.
Manley scores another prize over the
slow going “got to come to me" men.
