THE EASTERN ELECTIONS.


The San Francisco Chronicle Of the 9th
instant has the following Eastern election
news.
Cleveland swept the country yesterday
precisely as he did eight years ago
There was no uncertain sound about th,
returns when they began to ZONE ovel
the wires last evening. By 9 O'Clock any
good political Judge was able to see that
it was all up with the Republicans. The
Democratic tidal wave swept over all the
great critical States. New York broke
all her records by piling up q majority
in that city and Brooklyn OF over l00,-
900. The Republican majority in the
State made only q trifing reduction in
this huge figure. Following New York
in the Cleveland column came Indiana,
Illinois, Wisconsin, New Jersey and Del.
aware, giving Cleveland at least 274
votes in the college, or more than fifty
above the required number to elect. The
House Of Representatives will be heav-
lily Democratic, and il looks as though
the Senate will also be under Democratic
control. The Peoples party polled .
good vote in several Western States.

That is to say. from the commercial
point Of view. Lieutenant Peary thinks
there Is no money TO be made by the
conquest Of the north pole, and II . short
northwest passage through to Asia does
exist it will not be Of any practical use.
Nevertheless, from the scientific stand
point. the north pole expedition is ex-
ceedingly interesting. and Peary will 60

There is no doubt but be has estsb-

One feature Of the long stay in the
arctic regions is remarkable. That is the
absence Of illness, accident or physical
suffering among the explorers. Hereto
fore the story Of the arctic traveller has
been one OF fearful suffering, attended in
all cases with loss OF life. This time
there was no illness, and only one man
was lost, who, the party have made up
their minds, lost himself by design. He
told them if he did not return in four
days not to look for him. Nevertheless
they did wait and search a week, delay.

dared. They left food for q year and 8
half at the camping ground for him.
Many persons, including members of his
own family. believe him yet alive.
OF course next Summer q trip will be
made to find him. A white man lost at
the north pole will be a fact with 8 ro-
mantle interest attached to il. This in
ssrest will draw adventures to the north

One other fact useful for north pole ex.

II was that the best way to accomplish

KUREKA coz. MINING COMPANY

The following is from the special cor
respondence Of the New York Engineer
ing and Mining Journal of October 10Th
The Presidents and other reports sub.
mitted at the annual Meeting, contributed
little that was calculated to encourage
stockholders, albeit the affairs Of the
company seem to rave been economically
administered. Daring the year no ore Of
any magnitude has been uncovered in
the mine. A large amount of money was
expended in prospecting and developing
work, and during the pact twelve months
l.O04 feet Of drifts we're run, sos feet Of
upraises, l52 feet wines. and 2, 763 feet
Of drift cleaned and repaired. There
we're extracted 1894 gross tons Of com
pspy ore and 46S tons of tribute, mostly
oil having been taken from old chambers.
Until recently little prospecting was done
in new ground, and the ore found within
the last few months has all been OF low
grade. The terms obtained for the ore
at Salt Lake have been fairly good, but
not sufficient to warrant the shipment Of
low grade ores. The reserve fund has
been reduced, owing largely to extensive
underground workings which President
Fries recommends shall be continued, as
at several points the work looks too well
TO be abandoned.
During the year s25, 900 has been dis
tributed in dividends. not from the prof.
its, but from the reserve fund of the pre-.
vious year. The ~lessees Of the old speiss
dump. who are reworking the product by
the jigging process. are making a reason
able profit for themselves and 3 small
amount for the company.
The following are the receipts during
the year: Bullion, 1893 tons, 500, lS4. 90;
ore sold, s57, 500. Is; supplies sold, $685..

RICu


The Richmond Consolidated Mining
Company held a general meeting in Lon.
don October 25Ih, and in anticipation the
directors have issued the following report
and statement Of account:
Daring the year 1892 tons Of ore were
raised, containing Ala ounces Of gold,
24,l75 o.. of silver. and 2S5 tons Of lead
this was sold at Salt Lake for :. l4SL las.
3D.; the expenses Of mining, freight and
management at Eureka were 5,4l4L. 4s.
Sd. leaving a mining profit with 37L 9s.
sd. sandry receipts) Of l,77lL los. Cd.
The interest on the investments Of the
company during the year amounted to
1881. los. Id. But for the exception
ally low price Of silver and lead the prof.
its for the year would have been greater.
The furnaces have remained hui down
throughout the year, the amount Of ore
raised from the mine being too small to
admit Of their being re-stsrted.
Out Of the sum Of 3,75ll, los. Id.
standing to the credit Of revenue on Feb
ruary 2S, 1891, q dividend Of Is. per
share, free OF income tax, was paid on
August 10, 1891. The amount standing
to the credit of revenue on February 90,
1892, is ., 746L. ls. 3D.. out Of which the
directors recommend the payment Of a
dividend Of Is. per share, free Of income
tax. Prospecting has been carried on in
the Richmond mine chiefly on the 200.
300 and 600 levels, but as nothing of i'm
p~ortance was found the explorations were
stopped. Work is at present confined to
what is being done by sributers, who are
taking out ore from various parts Of the
mine. Portions Of the old Stag dumps
srs now being worked over by ~'jiggiug
machines" the concentrates produced
being sold at Salt Lake. The results so
far are satisfactory. The accounts re-
ceiyed show a prof. from this source Of
about 1901. per month. The question Of
concentrating some Of the low grade ore
10 the mine in the same way Is now re-
eeiving attention. At the Williamsburg
mine very extensive developments have
been made; these looked very promising
1t this time last year. The shat. having
been completed to a depth Of 400 feet,
|, 543 feet Of levels and 402 feet Of raises
and wines were driven from it. The
cost of this work, amounting TO 3,S94L.
los. Sd, has been charged TO the reserve
fund. II will be remembered that at the
date OF the last meeting a seam Of good
ore had been struck, and the prospects
we're good. The directors regret to state,
however, that this ore, instead of widen.
ing out after q time disappeared. NJ
nervous other narrow seams were met
with. but nothing OF importance being
found, Mr.. Probert stopped further ex-
.penditure on this property. Mr.. Probert
hss been at great pains for a long time
past IN endeavoring to find and secure for
the company a suitable new mine, and
With this object in view has Travelled
many hundreds of miles, and visited q
great many properties.

DIR. Willis, an Englishman who liy ed
many years in Persia, says that until
lately it was the rule that no male per.
son over ten years of age should be found
on the road over which a royal wife or
daughter was to pass. A violation Of the
rule was punished with death. Even
now, he says, Europeans wisely avoid
unpleasantness by turning aside when
they hear the shouts which indicate the
approach of the palace ladies'" The
late American Minister, Mr.. Benjamin,
made a great mistake on one occasion by
neglecting this ~precaution. With true
American simplicity he was accustomed
to ride through the streets with only one
servant. Meeting the procession one
day, he failed 10 turn out Of its path.
The result was that his servant was
beaten and he himself was hustled into a
byroad. The next day be duly lodged a
complaint Of this treatment, but he bad
to put up with he apology that, natu-
rally, "the royal servants would not re-
cognize q zone horse minister"
