THE LEGISLATURE
IS REPUBLICAN
Large Majority in Each
House and on Joint
Ballot.
Few Districts Incomplete, but
the Control Cannot Be
Overthrown.
REPUBLICAN o. s. SENATOR
A Lonely Popocrat Among the Large
Army of Victorious Republican
Statesmen.

The present returns on the Assembly
and the Senate, com plete in nearly all dis
tricts, show that the Republicans will
have the ample working majority of %
over all other parties com bined in the
State Legislature. In the Senate there is
a Republican majority of Is. including
the holdovers, and in the Assembly q ma
jority of II.
These figures are based upon the re.
liable and the very latest returns received
by The CALL. There are few reno dis
tricts in which the count has not yet
either been com pleted or sent in, but
there are not enough of these to affect the
fact of good Republican majority in the
next Legislature or possibly reduce this
majority more than three or four votes.
This insures the election of Republican
United States Senator.
In the comparatively few districts in
which the returns are not complete the
majority of the leading candidates is so
considerable that.it is doubtful if it can be
overcome by their competitors. They
have, where they are several hundred
votes ahead, been reported as good as
elected, and they have been counted as
such. A star in the subioined tables indi-
Gates candidates ahead in the count, the
others are elected.

VANcoUVER EXPERIMENTING
Smccessfut Tests of the Cyanide Process
of Colt EDtraciion.

Successfint Tests of the Cyanide Process
of Colt E1tracIion
VANCOUVER, B. c., Nov. 5.-The
cyanide process of gold ext action is very
largely used in the Transyaal and in
Western Australia, but until recently this
method, which very successfully enables
the precious metal to be obtained even
from tailings and low grade ores, has re-
manned untried in British Columbia.
However, the Gold Extracting Company,
which has the Canadian rights in the pro-
cess, has lately made very successful at
tempt to extract the bullion from crush
ings OF Cariboo gold. The Williams Creek
Consolidated Mining Company of Barkers-
vile has, as q result, obtained a brick
weighing 31.66 ounces Of gold and silver,
607 fine, and worth about $500, the gold
being saved at a cost of $40 ton. Only
one stamp was used, but five stamps can
be made available for the preliminary
Then the cost of the whole reduction pro-
cess will be red uced to So so a ton.
The use of the other and better mechani-
cal appliances than those at the moment
available at Barkerville will further in
crease the fineness of the output, bringing
it from 607sper mill to $50. However. this
first experiment sufficiently proves the
avail ability of the process with quartz ores
and tailings, and it should, as in Austria
liza and South Africa, render British Co.
lum bia gold ores profitably workable even
when running only about three-ouarters
of an ounce to the ton. Up to the present.
really low-grade gold ores have been little
regarded or worked In British Colum bia.

IRE OF A STATE SENATOR.

Sam Braunhart Declares His Freedom
From Mcguire and Daggett.
An interesting character in the next
Legislature will be State Senator Samuel
Braunnart of this City.
Mr.. Braunhart is an orator of no mean
ability, and as he served term as mem
Der of the Assembly several years ago he
will be greeted as an old acquaintance by
the hundreds of regular attendants on the
sessions of the Legislature and who make
up that conglomerate body of persons gen.
orally known as the third house.
AT the Democratic State headquarters
Mr.. Braunhart has frequently raised his
voice since the result OF the election in his
district became known. 1t is learned from
IS oft-repe ated remarks that Mr. Braun
hart has grievances against some o! the
mem bers of his party, and as he will be
called on to cast a ballot for some ambi-
tious politician who wants the prestige
bestowed by the complimentary vote for
United States Senator he seems to be
clearing the road of certain candidates
who might consider themselves eligible
and entitled to his support.
Il can't say much for Judge Maguire's
Dem ocracy when 1t comes TO loeal issues. +"
said Mr.. Braunhart. HE refused to make
speech in my district to help the legis-
lative ticket. though he spoke most every
where else in the City. l don't consider
myself under any obligations to him.
Judge Mcguire was sitting IN the adioin-
ing room, and all the doors being wide
open he could not avoid hearing Mr.
Braunharts remarks.
When spoken TO in regard to the natter
Judge Mcguire sententiously replied:
20, Sam may go to heaven. l haven't any
time to waste thinking about him."
There's John Daggett, too, who didn't
care to help me-" continued MIR. Braun
hart. He might have STRENGTHENED me if
he had wanted TO, but he didn't. So far
as l know not an employe of the United
States Mint vot d for me. That shows
how far Mr. John Daggett was interested
in my success. I'm not under Obligations
to him, either"
After that Mr.. Braunhart began to talk
about circular which had been thrown
about with view 10 cutting down his
vote, and was about to continue the list of
those to whom he owes no thanks when a
member OF the State Committee stopped
him with the remark:
NOW see here Sam, you've been kick
ing for two days, and at ought to be long
enough. Aren't you satisfied with 1000
majority? You ought to be, for lots of
the boys are clad 10 get along with less.
Just let US all know when you are going
to make your big speech and we'll all come
up to Sacramento to hear you."
In accordance with this advice Mr..
braunhart has consented 70 reserve his
eloque nee until next January.

WHELAN's TRIAL AT SANTA Rosz.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, Nov. 5.-Dan
Whelan was on trial before the Superior
Court here to-day, charged with securing
500 from Fred Brown OF Windsor by fraud
and Misrepresentation. Whelan was a
travelling agent for the Continental Build

and, it is alleged, secured money from
several confding persons in this county
and fed to Oregon. He was captured
near Astoria by Healdsburg constable
and brought back to face his accusers.
The secretary of the building and loan
com pany is one of the chief witnesses for
the prosecution, and Whean will probably
be brought to trial on some other charges
should he be acquitted upon the first.

CAHTO, CAL, Nov. 5-Arrests in the
Mudgett murder case were to-day deferred
until tomorrow, owing to the failure of
the Sheriff's party to reach here to-day.
They have, however, started, and are
within five hours drive OF Usal. The
town constable declined to undertake the
arrest of the guilty ones alone, believing
it unduly hazardous.
All efforts to break through the reti-
cence observed by the citizens in shield
ing the identity of the suspects prove
futile, as they fear that the first alarm of
suspicion being directed toward the par
ties would put them to flight. The ex-
citement was suppressed to-day for the
