CHICAGO. Aug 10.-Frank H Wilson
of Plattsmoutll, Neb., was at the Cliff

ment of Nebraska and is lifelong Re

I'm my opinion" said Mr.. Wilson,
Nebraska will give Mckinley a, ma
ioriHy of about 10000. We shall carry
Bryan's congressional district, the First,
by a majority of 1000, and will have a
larger majority in the Second district.
The Democratic-Popu combination
will carry the Fifth and Sixth DISTRICTS
while the Third and Fourth aIe doubt
full. The normal Republican plurality
in the state is something like 10000,
so that a concession is made 60 Bryan S
conceded personal popularity in making
the above estimate.
Business calls me to Lincoln a great
deal, and I know Mr.. Bryan well. He
is a man of fine education, and such
marked ability that | am convinced
that whatever may be the result of the
present campaign, Mr.. Bryan will be
generally recognized, ten years hence,
as the greatest statesman of the cOun-
try In spite of having formed this

for him, as I don't irldorse his political
views. 1 am of the opinion that Mr..
Bryan will probably carry the city of
Lincoln, but he will be beaten in the
county of Lancaster, in which Lincoln
is located, by a plurality of 1000. The
normal Republican plurality in this
county is from 1.S00 20 2,400.
lone factor which may affect the re-
suit in Nebraska is the ennity which
some of the Populist leaders feel for
Bryan. In fact, know that some of
them will take the stump against him,
and he will lose from 10 to Is per cent
of the Populist vote of the state. This
enmity is the result of complications in
regard to past congressional elections
when certain Populist candidates were
defeated by his adherents. 1 have re-

THE SWANSEA MIME.
VIII Begin Stopping About the Mid
die of the Week

die of the Week.
The Swansea mine, near Silver City,
gives promise of developing into one
Of the heaviest producers in Tintic
district, and Swansea stock today is
one of the most active mining securi-
ties in the market.
The Swansea, shaft is now down a
distance Of 400 feet, but in the working
of this property not a pound Of ore
has been taken OUT excepting in doing
development work, and yet the pro-
duct Of the mine has paid for a. fine
steam hoist, for all developments, and
the company has a good reserve fund
in the treasury.
Now, however, the stockholder may
soon expect some return for his in
vestnent, for it is the intention to be-
gin stopping about the middle of this
week, when daily shipments of about
a carload of ore will be made, and this
will result in the payment of regular
dividends.
In sinking the shaft, stations were
cut at the 800 and 450-foot levels, and
from these drifts will be run on the
fine ore bodies exposed, and stopping in
wines and upraises from now on will
be the order Of the day.
The bottom Of the shaft shows over
four feet of solid high-grade galena
ore. AS soon as stoping and extrac-
ton begins, however, development
work will not be neglected, and the
sinking of the shaft will be continued.
In a few feet more, in order to keep a
straight shaft, the ore body will be
left TO one side, but at any time it can
be reached by a cross-cut.
William Hatfield, the efficient SUI
perintendent of the mine, who was in
the city yesterday, is much pleased
with the great showing made by this
property.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-08-11

The directors of the Mercur Mining
company, at a meeting held yesterday,
failed to declare the usual monthly
dividend.
In answer to inquiries made by a
Herald representative, Mr.. Airs stated
dahat he was unable to say whether the
company would skip its regular month
~ dividend or whether it would de-
clare it later on; but from all indica-
tions. there is little likelihood Of Mer-
cur shareholders receiving their usual
''velvet money this month.
When pressed for a reason for the
failure to declare the dividend the di-
rectors refused to give satisfactory an
swers. In fact, they refused to talk,
and said 90 SAY what you have mind
to-"
Allusion was made, however, to the
fact that a few weeks ago the mill was
seriously injured by a, cloudburst; the
water engulfed the solution tanks and
overlooked the precipitation boxes, ne
cessitating the closing down Of the
works for a week and thereby entailing
a loss of ST., 600
But for this accident, the reg
ular dividend, in all probability,
vsSpnld have been declared and
lid; but, with good business discre-
ton. the company maintains its right
TO keep a good reserve in the treasury
to meet any emergency that might
arise.
The Mercur mill was never in a bet
ter condition than it is today, and ev-
cry opening in this magnificent prop
erty shows up mammoth bodies of ore,
and as work progresses, these deposits
grow larger and richer until it seems
as If the bodies of the precious metal
were practically ineXhaustble. The
mill also, is doing efficient work again,
and the mine and mill never before
were in a. more prosperous and promis-
ing condition.
Mercur stock, however, has suffered
seem as if some of the stockholders
dend would not be forthcoming this
month Others, on account of hard
times, have been forced to sell, and
this combination, assisted by those
who have been bearing the market for
speculative purposes, has resulted in a
depreciation of the stock, and it is be-
lieved that it Will go still lower.
Another factor in this decline is the
oft-repeated rumor that a sale of the
liercur is about to be contaminated.
All knowledge of this is denied at the
Office, although it is admitted that this
may be the case, and as President John
Dern and other interested parties are
in Europe, there may be some founda-
ton in these reports.

THE BABY wKEE SHOWING.
a Fine Body of Solid GaIena UncOv-
cred in the Drift.

cred in the Drift.
A few days ago. as announced in
these columns, work was resumed in
the development of the Baby Mckee
mine in the South Fork of the Big
Cottonwood, and 1t was not expected
that any ore would be found or broken
down for several weeks to come but
the unexpected often happens, and yes
terday the officers Of the company
were agreeably surprised when they
were informed that in cleaning out the
old drift running east from the bottom
of the 1OO-foot shaft, a two-foot body
az solid galena ore had been uncovered
in its face that assayed 44.6 per cent
lead and 43 ounces in silver TO the ton,
and that alse, in cleaning out the shaft
from six to ten inches of solid ore had
been found in the bottom.
The Baby Mckee, as stated before in
The Herald, is a grass-root proposition,
and shipments have been made from
the surface down. The vein, showing
pay ore in many places, can be traced
for several hundred feet by its crop
pings. and there is every reason TO be-
lieve that with development this prop
erty will develop into o. bonanza. divi-
dend-payer; oar, as one of the directors
says, into a second Silver King
A good force of men will be sent up
TO the mine at once, and it is the in
tention to begin regular ore shipments
as soon as possible.
The company feels highly elated over
the important discovery and is sam
euine that it will soon be on divi-
deud-paying basis

In Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, KY, August 10.-To-
morrow the national meet of the L.
A. w. will be in full blast Hundreds
of wheelmen arrived yesterday and
thousands will arrive today.
The headquarters of the Louisville
SO meet club in Hampton college were
opened last night. The building is ele-
gantly fitted up and is representative
of true Kentucky hospitality. To one
side of the hall as one enters the door
way is a room with a. large bath tub
in the centre. This is the punch
bowl. 70 the other side of the hall
is the women's reception room nicely
fitted up. The Boston, New York and
Baltimore train arrived last night.
There were probably 200 in the party,
including President ELLIOTT and Score
tary Bassett. The Chicago delegation
is expected today. Bald, Cooper, Zeig-
Ter, Ray Mcdonald, Conn Baker,
Tommy Butler, Frank Jenny and
Loughead have arrived.
Probably 5000 people were in the
grand stand yesterday afternoon when
the racing men took their practice
spin, and some very fast time was
seen. In a trial mile race in which
the starters were Gardner, Willie
Colburn, Stevens, Cox, Jack Colburn,
Tommy Hause, Bowler and Wells,
good time was made for the windy
day. The tTiplet paced and the men
followed with a flying start in the
order named. The first six held the
finish. In the stretch Willie Colburn
jumped to the side of Gardiner and
held him back of the machine, gaining
a lead of a length. Gardiner came up
on him and finished but a foot back,
but Stevens jumped and gained second
not two inches ahead Of Gardiner.
OF the amateurs ON the track,
Schadde of Washington, D. c., the
inter collegiate champion, ifs Thought
to be the most likely in the contest.
In his riding on the track he has not
ridden rings around the others but
has shown himself just little the
superior of amy yet seen. Eberhardt
of Salina, Kansas, is another amateur
that will bear watching. George Bo-
wee of Ell Paso, Texas, the amateur
who was expected to do the best work
at the meet, received notice yesterday
of suspension, pending an investiga-
ton.
Sanger has changed wheels again
and is now satisfied with his mount.
In all of his practice spins he has
shown great Improvement of form and
his standing start unpaced quarter in
rs is thought to be the best possible
for the men present at the meet.

Moran OF Chicago May Be Given
Some Empty Honors.
CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-A morning paper
says: Ex-Judge Thomas A. Moran is
prominently mentioned in connection
with the vice presidential nomination
of the sound money Democrats. The
delegates to the national convention of
the sound money end of the Democrat
ic party have not been selected, and
little was said as to candidates prior
to the meeting of the national commit
tee last Friday, but the date of the
convention had barely been settled
when the leading sound money men
back of the movement commenced cast
ing about for candidates.
Judge Moran's name was suggested
for vice president by john P. Hopkins,
and others who represented Illinois at
the Indianapolis meeting. There is a
possibility of his being named for first
place, but it was the judgment OF some
of the leaders that he was hardly we'll
enough known for the head of the
