Newt Smell and Tom Brown have Il
number oi tons Of rich ore on the dump
OF the Antelope mine, They will ship a
carload Of ore TO the sampler during the
tHiS p8it vi next NlUiitu.
The shaft on the Distafr mine is being
sunk one hundred feet deeper. The
management OF this mine hus been ex-
eellent and by the time the mill is ready
TO crush ore the mine will be opened up
IN better shape than any other mine in
the county.

his new discovery at Chloride for the
past Two months, has made another im-
portant strike on the same claim. The
ore streak Is about ten inches in width
and will run in the neighborhood Of one
thousand ounce per ton in silver. Chic

A dispatch to the Republic from Pull
nam, Conn, SAYS: Black bass fishing,
which has been poor for two seasons in
Connecticut, opens in fine style this year.
Two monster bass have been taken by
fishermen in the eastern part OF the
state already. At Alexander's Lake near
Dayville, ROLAND Bennett took fish that
weighed five pounds, and later Mr. Folman
at tChargoggagoggmanehoggoggogagunga-
maug Lake, near Webster, bagged a
seven FOUNDER. He had big fight with
the bass which almost leaped into the
boat. 1t is supposed that the fish are
biting so we'll here this season because
they are anxious to escape the burden OF
the unpronounceable name OF their dwell
ling place. One advantage in fishing i'm
this body of water is that the fishermen,
whether he have luck or not, always has
something big to tell when he gets
back.

Excellent Weather Throughout the State
Induces Heavy Voting.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. S.--The polls in this
etate remain open from C. m. to pm. The
weather throughout the state ia bright and
cool and there is thus every inducement for a
big off-year vote. The city treasurysLip fight
is bringing out large vote in this city. The
state law prohibits the compilation Of votes in
the various voting precincts until the polls are
closed. and nothing official therefore be
learned until night Comparisons in the county

with the vote for state treasurer i'll 1889. when

PITTsBURo, Nov. 3-The election is proceed
ing quietly. A bright day is bringing out a
much larger vote than was anticipated and the
indications are that full vote will be poIed.
In the light over the judiciary ticket. the state
ticket in Allegheny county has beer lost sight
of, but it is probable the returns will show the
usual republican majority. The Judiciary con-
test is most remarkable and conplica,e ted and
the voting today ends the hottest campaign in
this county for years. The popularity Of the
fight lies in the fact that the two oldest es-
tablished political parties Of the county, which
are generally bitterly opposed 20 each other.
are working together hand IN hand for the
same ticket against new movement known as
the ''straightouts." While tho straightouts
have made II vigorous canvass, it is not be-
lieved they will be successful against the COM
bined work q the republicans and democrats.
