NEW YORK, Oct ga morning pa
per says that Thomas A. Edison's new
photographic telegraph, on which he has
been for many months at work, will
revolutionize the whole system of news
paper illustration from distant points. By
the. aid of the photographic telegraph, it
will be easy for the artist to transmit by
that 1t will be reproduced at the other
end of the line.
There is nothing absolutely new in
this idea" said Mr. Edison yesterday;
1T is simply a development of the old
Cassella system. had thought out and
perfected the machine some years ago,
when the telephone came. along and
stopped me. / want to say that no news
paper has or will have monopoly in the
use of the autotelegraph. / shall re-
serve the patent and sell the machines to
any newspaper that comes to buy it.
The process is simple enough. The
artist makes his sketch in the usual
manner 1t doesn't matter what it may
be- Directly the drawing is finished, he
wraps 1t around the little cylinder at
the top of the machine; he presses a
button, and in that same instant while
the machine revolves the man at a dis
lance is reproducing that sketch.
He is not necessary. as the cylinder.

and in that moment establishes the
electrical connection at the other end,
where another needle or finger, just as
you choose, is touching another cylinder
when the needle has travelled over all
the lines. of the original sketch, you will
see on the receiving paper at the other
end a series of lines occupying positions
corresponding with those in the original
sketch.
81 can say that the instrument is
ready for use. You could handle it at
once with absolute certainty. Before
attempt to put it in the market, L shall
try to reduce it to a portable size,
SO that the artist sent to Chicago or ST
Louis may carry it in his pocket and
place it on any kind of a telegraph table
and transmit the drawing with just as
much ease and as little ceremony as he
would use in telegraphing a zoo word
story. In less than four months from
this time. the instrument in its portable
form will be ready for the market.
II don't look for a, large sale or an ex-
tended market. Only the big dailies here
and in Europe will have any use for it
or care to buy it.
eve can now use the instrument at 500
miles with ease at LOCO with reasonable
accuracy, and before l have finished
will try to span the continent from
Frisco to. New York"

CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-The final week
tered upon by the campaign staff at
Republican national headquarters with
expressed confidence in an overwhelm-
ing victory for Major Mckinley.
Mr.. Hanna counted thirty-three Of
the forty-fve states for the Repub-
licans. The chief will make a final and
complete statement as to the probable
result of the election Saturday night
just prior to his departure for home.
A report received by Colonel Hahn,
from Chairman Coe, of the Wisconsin
state committee, states there is a rapid
improvement in the rural districts of
that state since the middle of the
month, and the same was true of Mil
waukee Mr.. Coe adds:
Il estimate that Wisconsin is safely
Republican by $4,000 to $4,000 plurality.
Both branches of the legislature will
be strongly Republican, and all the ten
congressional districts will elect Re-
publican members to congress"
DR.. Edward Bedloe, ex-consuI to

which he had received from Admiral
Belknap. United States navy, partly

1t is firmly believed in mining and
business circles in this city that within
a short time after the November cleo
ton that there viii be revival of
activity in mining matters in Camp
Floyd district, and that then this great
gold camp will receive more attention
than ever before from mining men,
from capitalists and investors and from
those who are looking for a chance TO
make big money on a comparatively
small investment.
There has never been day during
the past year that has witnessed n
backward movement on the part of the
camp of Mercur, and although the
boom has subsided and business has
been dull throughout the camp, the
mines have made steady advancement
and today they are greater than ever
before and show larger and richer ore
bodies than the most enthusiastic ever
dreamed would ever be disclosed in the
district.
The lapse Of the boom, however, vas
not due to a lack of confidence III the
camp, but rather to the timidity of
capital, which has been securely stored
away in bank vaults until after the
election, when, no matter which way
the battle may go, this money is sure
TO seek investments somewhere. and
much of it will go to Mercur. as the
mines of Camp Floyd district have an
excellent reputation throughout the
United States, and there are many wl.o
are only waiting until afte~ the lee
ton before they make investments
there.
AS it is, it is only a question of time
before Camp FLOYD district is as active,
and more so, than ever before, especi
ally as the camp is soon 10 have sew
eral new mills. which. in themselves.
will give more life and vigor to the
district at large.
Mercur, without doubt, is the great
est gold producing camp III the United
States, or will be With development.
and it is predicted that within a. year
it will have doubled its present output
and increased its present dividends trn
times over.

THE BONN MIME.
Will Build n High Fence Around the
Property.


That the agreement which has recently
been entered into looking to the opera
ton of the downtown properties, says
The Leadville Democrat, is certain to
be carried out, is indicated by the prepa-
rationS which are being quietly made by
some of the managers to resume Major
A. Y. Bohn, manager of the Bohn prop
fence about the middle of the week. He
has contracted to use the old ice palace
lumber. and that historic building will
soon be thing of the past. The fence
about the property will be eight feet
high, but 1t not the intention TO con-
struct any bunk houses or eating houses
for the workmen, nor will Notifications
of any sort be erected.
1t will, of course, be some time be-
fore work can be resumed on any of the
downtown mines There is an enormous
accumulation OF water in the Leadville
basin. and it is believed that to unwater
the various mines will take at least two
months. All the pumping will be done
by the Penrose and Bon Air. the prop
Several OF the mines have small pump
ing plants of their own, and whatever
amount of water they handle will be
credited to them, the number of gallons
when the big pumps will start up is not
known, but ii is very probable steam
will be up in the boilers of the Penrose
and Bon Air within two weeks.
One of the prominent operators stated
yesterday that it was doubtful whether
any more men viii be brought in from
Missouri. First-class miners from all the
camps in the state are drifting in here
on every train and many of them are OBJ

men cannot be obtained, then another
carload of Missourians will be brought
in but, of course, this depends upon cir
cumstances.
Some of the Missourians who were
quartered at the Bison are working at

Bison. and go to their work armed with
shotguns, as threats had been made that
if they were caught outside the stock

the neighborhood. 1t has even paid it's
respects to the male population.
1t goes around dressed in woman's
clothes, and so quiet are its movements
that it has thus far eluded all efforts
to capture it. The first heard of 1t was
last week, when the children began to
tell their parents that they were afraid
to go errands after dark, as some
strange woman would chase them,
pinch them and box their ears and then
disappear as if by magic.
James Parish lives on Ferry street,
and, after listening to the stories his
children told. decided at once to run
the thing down if possible. On Satur-
day evening he took down his gun and,
while in the act of cleaning it. his front
door was softly opened and the
stranger peeked in. Parish picked up a
hammer and started toward the door,
when the object made a hasty retreat,
and before Parish knew it had van.

that this strange being went right
through the fence, not stopping to open
the gate, which was closed. He ran in
the direction he thought the wrath
had gone. but it had disappeared and
no trace of it could be found.
Other citizens have had a like expe-
rience with this same stranger, and de-
clare that it has carried off baskets of
potatoes apples. oil cans and the like
from the back porches of residences.

Officers of the Company Elated.
While nothing much has been said of
late regarding the Emerald mine, in
the near vicinity of the Mammoth
mine, in Tintic mining district, still
the company is pushing work in its
development, and is very hopeful over
the future outlook for the property,
and is firm in the belief that with depth
it will open out into one of the greatest
gold producers to be found in the dis
trict. as the fact is being daily dem
onstrated that it is not a silver mine,
as it was at first supposed that it
would be, and since this fact has been
ascertained. more faith than ever has
been felt in the ultimate outcome of
the property; but, as one of the Off
GERS of the company said to Herald
reporter yesterday: I'VE have no stock
for sale, and do not care to say much
about what we are doing in the mine. -
From J. L. Yundt, the manager Of
the Emerald, who returned from the
mine Sunday night, it is learned that
1t is the intention of the company to
put in machine drills at an early day,
as it has been decided to continue
sinking from the 400-foot to the 700
foot level.
The greatest reason that the COM
pany has for the belief that this prop
erty will develop into a great gold
producer is the fact that on the 400
foot level an immense body of iron
quartz has been uncovered on this level
for a distance of 300 feet, as experts
who have examined the mine state
that all that is needed now to trans
form the property into a great pro-
Queer of the yellow metal is depth,
and this is now the order of the day
in the development of the mine. The
immense deposit of decomposed iron
quartz disclosed on the 400-foot level
carries values of s2.40 to $500 in gold
to the ton. and trace to half an
ounce in silver.
The Emerald is being developed I'M
der the personal supervision of NJ. L..
Oglesby, who is making a record for
himself that is highly creditable.
