headed both tho Tammany and the Ship Dem

the snip Democracys ticket was filled out with
the Citizens Union ticket, headed by Seth Low
Tor Mayor. The great slump in Henry Georges
vote was predicted from tho hour Henry George,
ST.. passed away.
The vast majority Of that vote went directly
to Van Wyck. and It may bo added that one OF
tho consultations Of tho mix-up is that Georges
followers resented the efforts of Seth Low to
grab their votes the instant Henry George died.

The Defeated CIT Candidate Tries to shirk
Responsibility for TanmAnS's Victory.
Last night after the Cit bosses had recovered
from the first shock of de eat they began to look
around for explanations. Seth Low stayed at
homo surrounded by his moro intimate ad-
mrers. At first he refused to give out any
statement. but finally he decided to do so. Here
is what he said:
1T is not possible to discuss the result Of the
election in New York city at the present mo-
ment with much discrimination. few things.

"The year has been heavy Democratic year
everywhere Tammany has felt the advantage
of this strong tendency. l think this circunl-
stance shows the absolute necessity. as It also
shows the difficulty. OF separating municipal
from State and national issues, il the cities arc
ever to be governed on their merits.
I'm the light OF the event, 1t Is clear that the
Citizens Union has made q gallant fight for q
principal that is vital. 1t is better to have
fought and lost in such cause than not to have
fought at all. There Is need to despair of
good government in the city when such a strug-
gle could be made against such odds. The re-
turns show that there was no possibility OF Re-
publican success in contest on party lines. nor

II bespeak for tine new Mayor and his aaAo-
ciates the cooperation OF all my supporters, as

administer the government OF the city In tho
interest OF the people.
Jeems Weynolds supplemented the manifesto
of his idol by the foil wing:
"Tho defeat OF Mr. Low will not end tho Citi-
gems Union. The next meeting OF the Exec
utive Committee will be held Thursday evening
OF this week. Tho defeat OF tho Citizens Union
is duo to tho failure OF the George men to hold
their votes, tho large use OF money by Tammany

Of this NO had the frankest avowal by Re
publican leaders in many districts.

there were half q dozen companies, with from

Nothing combustibe escaped them. At first
they took only decrepit barrels, boxes and stray

STEALING GOLD DUST.
Ways in which the Tricky Mfne
neais Ills EmpIoyer.

Ways In which the Tricky Miner
Keats His Employer.
With the last batch of Klondikers to
arrive came the news that some tall
stealing was being done by the hired
miners working on the biggest claims.
Old-tlmers have been looking for the
news before this, and the only expla-
nation of it's nonarrival before is that
there have been comparatively few
hired men, most of the Kondike claims
being worked by their owners.
AS soon as the big syndicates and
organized companies which have been
formed the past summer get into work
ing shape and employ large numbers
of men it is believed that the stealings
will surpass any in the history of gold
mining. and that is saying a good deal.
Placer mines are the easiest for the
dishonest miner to get In his fine
work, and these are the only kind that
have so far been operated in the Klon-
dixie district owing to the difficulty
of transporting milling machinery to
handle the quartz.
Hired miners in the Kondfke receive
from SIS to $50 per day. In some Of the
richest claims n man washes from 500
TO $500 worth of dust day. OF course
the latter figure is the exception. II a
man extracts thimbleful of dust from
his days yield he adds about $50 to his
pay.
Your correspondents informant said
that some of the men were not content
with thimbleful, and at least one man
was known to have appropriated two
ounces. about s34 day, for 30 days
running. The owner of the mine knew
of the thefts, but he didn't want to dis
charge the man as he was an expert in
handling the pan and showed more gold
worked within half dozen feet OF him.
But when the fellow lifted his daily
rake-off to three ounces day, the own
er got hot, smashed the man in the face
with a shovel and told him II he didn't
leave by the next boat he would bring
the matter to the attention of the pub
lie administrator in Dawson City and
have him sent up.
There is 90 years penalty attached
10 IuclI VI budl hiHu anu IuC tulCA was
considered lucky to get on as he did.
If the mine owner had wanted to make
trouble he could have killed the man
and no one would have bothered him.
But he happened to be an eastern man
who wasn't In the killing business and
whose only anxiety is to get everything
out of his claim and go home with his
riches.
When one looks at the history of
thefts in other gold fields, even those
where quartz mining was the rule and
where the miners were watched under
the most careful systems that could
be devised, it is easy to imagine what
win happen in the Klondike next sum-
mer when the thousands Of new
comers get in working shape and force
the prices of labor down to bed rock.
Then, it is believed, petty thieving
will be the order of the day.-Iows
