MINNIE oTA.

The result of the election in Minnesota
yesterday is a source of qualification to every
Republican, and the indications are that the
majority for the Blaine and Logan electors
will be much larger than was anticipated
by even the most sanguine. Returns have
b. EN- secured from nearly two hundred of
400 precincts, or about one-third of the
state These show a total vote of %, TAG
for the Republican electors, and 10, $50 for
Cleveland, a majority of 10, 5l6, being a net
Republican gain over the vote of 1883
of 4 $3.50 These returns have been
received principally from the Republican
precincts, but at the same ratio of increase
the majority in the state may safely be
placed at from 80, 900 to 1000 for the ma
tional ticket
THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS
In the congressional districts the result is
no less satisfactory, every Republican men,
Der being elected by increased majorities in
most cases exceeding even their own hopes
in the emphasis of their victories. In
the First district from the thirty one pre-
cincts heard from Mr. White has a majority
of 749 This is but about one-quarter of the
number of polling places in the district, and
with the comparative ratio of majority, and
the increase, Mr. Whites majority might

vicinity of 2, 200 In the Second district,
Mr. Wakefeld's majority bids fair to reach
1000, with the ratio of gains, that gentle
man having double the number of votes of
his competitor in the precincts reported
In the Third district Maj. Strait is ahead
of the national ticket, and in the twenty
four towns reported has a majority OF
1,645, being gain of nearly one thousand
This is about one-quarter of the district, and
with like gain in the balance of the district
he will bury Donnelly under majority Of at
least 5000. The returns in the Fourth
district give Mr.. Gillian a majority
of 2 .O42, which, with the same ratio of gain,
and allowing for the disaffection in Mime
apolis will result in a majority of at least
1000.
In the Fifth district Mr. Nelson will have,
as indicated by the returns, majority rang
ing in the neighborhood of 1000 to 5000

California.


SAN Francisco. Nov 4-There were AZ, :
SO votes cast in San Francisco to-day out
of a total registration of 80, 500. The indi-
cations are that the total vote of the state
will be at least 1S0. 600, against 164 ,226 in
1880. Owing to the great length OF the
ticket the votes of San Francisco VIII not be
all counted before Thursday. Re-
turns from the interior are coming in very
slowly. Up to 1915 p m only thirty-on
precincts in several different counties We're
heard from, giving Blame .334 and tleye-
land l, 1885, net gain OF 13S Tor Republl-
cans The above ratio of gain will hardly
be maintained tonight, as the supposition is
from returns already received and other in
dications that Blaine viii run ahead about
5000 in the interior. The very Democrats
have probably carried this city by $500,
which would make Blaine's majority about
dictates that the Republicans might
get four out of six The Chronicle
says figures received show there can
hardly be any question about California
being safe far Blaine. The state was redis-
tributed in manner which gives the Repub-
hcans hard pull in congressman, but from
present indications the Republicans viii
elect their men in the FIRST, Ihlrd,
Fifth and Sixth districts, with the Second,
and Fourth doubtful with chances in favor
of the Democrats The Alta says both parties
are confident and claim the state, but the
indications favor belief that it has gone
Democratic by from 1900 70 5000.

Mining Matters.

Mr.. II. w. Lake. who is one of tn o
fortunate owners of some OF the best
mines in the Lava Beds, and who has
been in the city fora few weeks to be cur
ed Of rheumatism, was out on the street
yesterday and hopes to be able to return
to Daggett next week in full health
The Lava Beds mines are turning out
better than ever. Mr.. J. b. Osborne
who has large investments in the Lava
Beds, is cree ting reduction works at
OAK land, where he will soon be shipping
copper ore from the Ord District. in
which he and Mr. IL. l.. Drew and o, c..
Leach are opening immense bodies OF
copper. He will also ship the silver ore
from the Lava Beds to Oakland for re-
duction 1t is understood that the cost
of coal and labor 10 Oakland is so much
less than it is at the mines. that it is
cheaper to freight the ore 500 miles for
reduction than to reduce it at the place
Of production.
Mr.. Leach has removed his headquar-
ters from the Odd copper mines to the
Lava Beds. The s. p. X. II. have os.
tablished station about eight miles
from the mines, and laid side track for
the loading and unloading of long lines
OF ore cars. This Lava Beds camp will
be n very important psint for trade fol
the city of Los Angeles, and appears tc
be full OF rich ore.
