TIE REGISTRATION IN BROOKLYM.


The registration of voters in Brooklyn was
completed on Monday, and the Republicans
have every reason to be satisfied with the re-
suit. The tables printed in the New York and
Brooklyn papers vary somewhat, but the In
crease in the number of voters registered over
1850 is nearly 13 900. This is what might be
expected from the normal growth Of the city in
the four years. The total number now on the
books Is about 27,O00-against 114,090 in
1Ss0-and indicates an aggregate vote If over
10000. The votes cast for Garfield and Han
cock numbered 112,Sl3.
The most significant feature of the rcgstra-
ton is the great increase in the newer wards,
which are rapidly increasing in population.
The increase in the Eighteenth Ward is l, SOC in
the Twcnty-frst, PIG in the Twenty second,
1854; in the Twenty third, 1,13i; In the
Twenty fifth, 1917 These wards have been
generally accounted Republican, and the char
actcr OF the new residents indicates that that
party is gaining strength in them. 1t is also
evident that the voters are deeply Interested in
the pending canvass and are eager not to lose
the chance of voting. The only falling of is in
the Fourteenth and Sixteenth Wards, the
former Democratic stronghold, in which many
lican wards like the First. Twentieth, Nine
tecnth and Thirteenth, the increase in rcgistra
ton is considerable, although not great.
In 1876 Tildcn received over $4,000 moro
votes in Kings County than Hayes. -Four years
later the Democratic majority Qlancock over
Gariicld) was not much over 5000. This in
dicatcs plainly that klyn-which forms by
far the greatest part of the county-is rapidly
becoming a Republican city. Under ordinary
circumstances we might expect a very small
Democratic majority on National questions this
year But it is popularity supposed that the So
called Independent movement ia stronger in
Brooklyn than 81 cwhcrc hcrcabout. At the
same time it is evident that the Butlcr move
mcnt has much vitality there. With these two
unknown quantities in the equation, any pre-
dction of the outcome would be hazardous.

THE REPUBLICAN, LOCAL TICKET.

THE REPUBLICAN LOCAL TICKET.
The Republican County Convention last

Charles Spear for Controller, Charles 5. Spen-
Ger for District Attorney, George liilllard foi
President of the Board of Aldermen, George
w. Blunt, Edward c. Graves and j. G. D.
Langbein for Judges OF the Court of Common
Pleas, and Ferdinand Eidman for Coroner
There has been so much delay In
putting the candidates in the field,
owing to desire to take advantage of
all mistakes of the Democratic factions,
that the time remaining for effective work is
extremely short. Therefore Republicans i'll
every part of the city should labor with the
greatest diligence from now TO election day for
all the candidates. National and local. The
names on the Republican ticket will not suffer
by comparison with those on the Democratic
lists headed by Hugh J. Grant and William L..
Grace, and Lewis J. Phillips is "A man OF the
stamp to make an active, energetic, broad
minded, public-spilitcd Mayor.
The first duty and the most imperative
one of every Republican who has not reg
istered is the plaineSt possible. That is to
register tomorrow. Only two more days are
left. tomorrow and Saturday. The hours of
registration are from a. m. to p. IN. The
places of registry have been published repeat
cdly in THE TRIBUNE, and will be published
again ON Friday and Saturday. No voter can
afford to lose the opportunity 10 do his part
in determining the great questions which
this election is to settle. The bust
ness men are thoroughly alive to the
Importance of the issue. They proved
on Monday that no matter what their past
political associations or preferences had been,
they could not look without apprehension upon
the possibility of Democratic asccndancy in
this country. They sh0uld work for the local
ticket also. They feel the results of Demo-
cratic misrulc in local affairs every day. Enor-

 Editor Herald: Believing few items about thls promising section would be of interest to many former residents of Arizona in your beautiful city and else where, l hasten to give you . few as they look to Us here.
 It has always been known from the start that the Quiiotos mines were rich, and to all outward appearances the most extensive ever discovered; but, from its isolated locality and lack of facilities for development, 1t was thought an age would pass before its development could be accomplished. When the Bonanza firm took hold of il, however, 1t was be lIeyed they would push it's development day and night. As a result of the null tiplied blows which were given impetus by the expenditure of about a thousand dollars n day by the Bonanza firm, some 3,OUO feet Ot shaft, tunnels, cbimneys, drifts and levels have been run, and ore enough extracted tO run a hundred stamp mill for two years. A well has been sunk by the Bonanza firm to a depth of J4i feet which affords enough water to run all the mills to be erected and supply our town with an abundance Of good, soft water.
 The Bonanza Company are now en- gagged In removing the machinery of the old Consolidated Virginia mill. of eighty stamps, to this place, as well as that of the Harshaw mill, of twenty stamps. from Tombstone 10 this place, which will make a mill of one hundred stamps that Is to be erected at the foot of Rosl,ruge avenue. An automatOn tramwsy k beng built 10 the tunnels, a distance of three-fOurths of a mile and an elevation of fourteen hundred feet above tine Iuill, which will bring the ore tO the mills at nominal cost. A con tract has been let to l.. and E. Jones for l,OOO cords of mesquite and palo verde wood for making steam. If reasonable rates for transportation can be effected it Is believed petroleum from Newhall and the vicinity of Los Angeles can be used instead of wood, which is quite a feature here. The character of the ore in these celebrated mines, which gre undoubtedly the richest mines in the world, Is argentIferous galena and free milling ore. There IS now q brilliant future for this place. One thing is cer- tam there Is more rich ore in sight here now than has ever been seen at any silver mne ln America and knowing ones do not doubt but this place will scol eclipse the world renowned Vir- gInia n Nevada in its pslmiest days. We shall be compelled to draw heavily on Los Angeles, the garden spot of the world, for our supply of good things in return for our bullion, THEO.
