Vote No on tn, Amendment.

Vote No on thu Amendment.
That constitutional amendment" to
be voted on this election should be voted
down. 1t contains too much for one
vote. 1t has at least four distinct pro-
positions each Of which should be voted
on separately if at all, but as it is, one has
to vote for all or none. These PROPOSE
tons are briefly:
l. Only citizens to vote.
2. The legislature shall make an edu-
cational test for voters.
8. The legislature may prescribe pen
alties for failing, neglecting or refusing
to vote.
4, That paupers, prisoners, fools, etc.
should not be allowed to vote.
AS we said very few persons could
answer yes or no to all these PROPOSE
tons. Each is quite question by itself.
The last proposition probably would be
ratified if it could be voted separately.
Proposition No. 3 might be all right if
the Legislature handled it right, and is
further qualified by the word may" so
the legislature would not be bound to
pass such law.
Proposition No. is altogether wrong
because it says ''shall," and we doubt if
in North Dakota we really need an edu-
cational test for voters.
Proposition No. would disfranchise
a large part of our population, especially
in the newer counties. Our readers who
lived in this county say fifteen years ago
can realize what such law would have
meant to our people at that time if only
full citizens voted. We think our pres
! ent law on this question is very good. 1t
lets a man vote on his "6rst papers" six
years; if then he neglects or refuses to
take out his second papers and become
full citizen he is rightly disqualified.
Better mark the amendment ballot in
the "no" square.

THE MASSACHUSETTS DEAL.
The Mine to Be Extensively Worked
In the Future.

The Mine to Be Extensively Worked
In the Future.
In referring to the recent sale of a
controlling interest in the Massachu-
sets mine at Park City. the Record
says:
For some time Mr.. w NJ. Curtis of
this city, has been working upon the
scheme to get the property into other
hands, and on Thursday the last card
in the deal was turned, and now Park
City can boast one more strong and ag-
gressive mining company. The pur-
chase of the property represents the
changing hands of over 100000 and the
bulk of the entire $50, 900 shares is now
held by Mr.. Curtis and ]. H. Conrad, a
wealthy banker and mining operator
of Montana
AS soon as the transaction was COM
pleted Thursday the new owners met
and reorganized the board of directors,
as follows: William NJ. Curtis, j. H
Conrad, N. r. Evans, James McGregor
and Judge Henry RiVes, the latter gen.
tleman being the De Lamar company S
attorney in Nevada MeSSrs. McGregor
and Evans are both too well known to
the readers OF the Record TO need an
introduction.
In the election of officers Mr.. Curtis
was chosen president and general man.
ager of the company, and Mr.. Conrad
was elected as secretary and treasurer.
Mr.. Curtis came home yesterday, and
TO a Record reporter he stated that just
as soon as the hosting works and other
buildings at the mine could be put in
repair (and contractors were already
figuring on the job work in the mine
would be commenced. a few fittings be-
longing to the engine and other ma
chinery stolen from the works several
months ago would have to be secured,
but he thought two or three weeks at
the outside would see everything in
readiness to start.
The mine has a hree-compartment
shaft down 600 feet, which makes the
depth equivalent to about 975 feet at
the Silver King. Two drifts will be
started from the 600 at once, and Mr..
Curtis said he might also decide to send
the shaft down another 300 or 400 feet
at the same time. The company, he
said, had ample means to carry out
any scheme of development that was
undertaken, and that work would be
prosecuted steadily and with vigor.
The mine is equipped with set of
six boilers, a fine hosting engine, fiat
cable and safety cages, capable of sink
ing 1000 feet, as well as an air COM
pressor, Burleigh drills, etc, and every
thing is practically in readiness for
the active campaign on which the COM
pany is about to enter.
The property, which consists of u
claims, is situated in Empire canyon,
just above the mouth of the Anchor
and Alliance tunnels, and lies about
midway between the DAILY and Silver
King mines.

Kaffirs were especially strong the the

Nevertheless Americans were dull, closing
near the lowest, in the absence Of New

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Nile Controversy Advances the Price
of Wheat

Chicago. Oct. 10-Liverpool wheat quo
tations; before business started here
nights close on fears as to the contro-
versy with France over the Nile terri
tory. That advanced values here sharply
at the opening, and the traders were slim
ulated into unusual activity Additional
impetus was given the market by the fact
that shipments from Russia last week
showed a falling off of some 100000 bushels
as compared with those of the preceding
week, and because of heavy cable ac-
ceptances of wheat offers made over Sun
day by exporters. To further add to the
discomfort of those who went short from
last week there were pointers" in cir
culation that the government crop report
would make a very bullish showing in
wheat The combination was sufficient
to cause general covering by shorts of
almost every sort. Meanwhile the early
bearish news was entirely disregarded.
The Michigan authorities estimated the
total yield of that state as the largest
ever known there. New South Wales
placed her eXportable surplus greater
than usually reported for all of Australia
and that the foreigners were re-selling
wheat on account of the sharp advance
in prices. In consequence of this the mar
ket did not fully maintain its early figures,
nevertheless the trade was not disposed
to hammer prices, as the liberal rains in
the northwest promised to cut off receipts
somewhat. Another factor that discour-
aged any heavy selling was that the Wis
IDLE supply only showed an increase of
947, 900 bushels, where an increase of !, 800.
OC0 had been expected. Primary market
receipts were 2.1510 900 bushels against
2,S47.000 bushels the previous year.
Reports from the seaboard. with eX-
port engagements, aggregated 105 boat
loads and the sale of 200,0 900 bushels No.
spring and No. 2 hard winter wheat for
Liverpool caused a very strong tone dur
ing the closing hours. December closed
1G11s cents higher.
Corn started strong with wheat, but
there was considerable opposition from
the receivers who sold with some free
dom.
Oats followed corn. May closed at 225s6
g. Oats advanced Vase.
Provisions-The strength in grains, to-
gether with a light run of hogs at higher
prices started provisions strong. Dis
quieting yellow fever news caused a very
unsettled feeling and the advance was
seized upon by leading packers of con-
siderable product. The trade was not
broad enough, however, to absorb the Of
ferings and values quickly slumped off.
Scalping shorts, who rather overdid the
selling after they discovered the source
of the heavy liquidation early, ran the
price up at the close in an attempt to
cover. Their purchases brought the mar
ket very nearly up to the opening figures.
Pork left off unchanged to 219 <ents
higher. lard unchanged and ribs I'M
changed to 212 cents.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

curities until Mammoth was reached,
although former figures were well
maintained and the call disclosed
strength in most of the shares. Mercur
was little off in the bidding as we'll as
in the asking, and Northern Light was
stationary. Sacramento had friends in
the pit and was strong, few hundred
shares changing hands at the figures
given below. Sunshine was more in
favor than for months past and regis
tered sales at 46 cents and closed
strong.
In the unlisted stocks Chloride Point
caused considerable excitement in the
pit, transfers being posted at $1.O1. Dex-
ter moved upward at a steady pace
and touched SOP in the bidding, sales
being made at this figure. Valeo sus-
tanned an attack from the bear element
and broke down to so cents and 81
cents. Buyer and seller could not get

good form at 81 cents bid and Sc asked
Golden Eagle participated in the trad

while Little PittsbUrg was also in de-
