GREAT MINING EXPERT
Captain J.. R. Wood Determined
to Invest in This District.

Captain J. r. Wood, the eminent min.
ing expert whose arrival in Sumpter was
mentioned in THE MINER last week, left
for his home in Chicago several days
since. Prior to his departure he said to a
representative Of this paper that the state.
ment made in the Spokane Review and
repeated in these columns, that he repre-.
sents the Tanner syndicate, is mistake;
that he was formerly with that syndicate,
but that Governor Tanner has become so
engrossed In politics that he is not paying
as much attention to his mining interests
as formerly, and that he, Captain Wood,
represents only himself and few friends
in Chicago.
He talked with several mine owners
while here, with view to buying, but
found that properties which he wished to
purchase are not now on the market.
They may be, however, In a month or
two, and he will return the latter part of
January or the first Of February, when
he hopes to secure property. Several
which he has In view are now bonded to
other parties, the options expiring in from
thirty to sixty days. These he has the
second call on. Others will soon be
sufficiently developed to show their value.
Captain Wood says that he would pre-.
fer to buy a producing mine, one with
stamp mill already on It; that he doesn't
care to consider prospect proposition.
There Is any amount of money, he says,
In Chicago seeking investment in good
mining property, but II must be gilt edge.
now earning dividends or sure to be at an
early day.
Regarding this district, he says that he
Is most favorably impressed with what he
has seen and heard. Asked what he
thinks Of the local boast that there has
never been failure where prospect has
been intelligently and extensively devel.
oped, Captain Wood said:
at seems to he remarkable statement;
one that can be applied to no other district
with which am familiar, and ! can not
vouch for It's truth on my personal knowl.
edge; but men whom ! have known for
years, whose judgment know to be good,
and In whose word place implicit re.
lance, tell me that such Is the case. It is
surely wonderful record"
The gentleman has been engaged In min.
ing for nearly forty ytars, has visited
most Of the camps on this continent In
professional capacity. and his judgment Is
considered as near infalible as things
human generally get to be. Sumpter
should congratulate itself on the fact that
such man has visited its mines and de.
termined to invest much money here.

NEBRASKA SENATORSHIP.
The Fight Lies Between Allen and
Hitchcock.

OMAHA. Dec. S.-Governor Poynter
has been called from the Capitol to
Albian by the illness of his father, and
this has caused a slight break in the
fight for Senator to succeed Senator
Harvard The friends of both Allen
and Hitchcock are busy organizing their
forces. however.
One feature of the contest is the
dropping of all talk of compromise
candidate, and it appears certain that
one of the two will get it. The fusion
members of the last Legislature are
practically unanimous in urging Allen
appointment. AS they are practically
all Populists, and Governor Poynter is
also a PoDulist this is counted on to
have it's effect The Democrats are APP
parently united on Hitchcock, and are
making their strongest fight on the plea
that the Democrats have not hereto
fore received their share of the offices
under the fusion arrangement. The
only serious detection among the DEM
ocrats from Hitchcock is Attorney Cen
eral Smyth, who is in Washington, and
who is reported to have telegraphed
Pointer urging Aliens appointment.
The Governor has announced that the
appointment would not be made before
the middle of next week in order to
give all parties ample chance to be
heard.

the Returns Of the County
Boards Of Canvassers.

FRANKFORT, Dec. S.-The State
Board of Elections tonight gave out
their official findings that W. S. Tay-
Tor for Governor and the rest of the
Republican ticket have been elected on
the face of the returns. Commission
ers Ellis and Pryor signed the ma
jority report, in which they held, as a
Board of Canvassers, that they have
no right to go behind the returns of the
county boards; that their duties are
purely ministerial as canvassers, and
that the face of the returns as received
by them from the counties show the

Whether the Goebel people will make
a contest in the Legislature is really
yet to be determined.
The other Democratic candidates for
the minor offices on the State ticket,
acting on the belief that the Commits
sioners' opinion would contain ilnpiica-
lions of fraud had already decided TIC
appear before the State Contrasting
Board for the positions to which they
believe thmselves entitled. They held
several conferences during the day, but
it was not definitely determined until
3 o'clock in the afternoon to MAKE the
contest.

busy all day writing their opinion and
it was dark before Mr.. Ellis. who did
most of the writing, had finished his
task.
The politicians of both parties de-
parted fAnS frankfort in great num-
bers during the day, and the town to-
night is practically deserted.
There has been a great amount OF
money bet throughout Kentucky as to
who would be the next Governor, and
the bettors are trying to decide whether
if Taylor is later ousted by the Lesls-
lature as not being legal incumbent,
he was actually Governor at all in the
ewes of the law. The Taylor betters
construe it one way, and naturally the
Goebel men figure it out differently
There has been SO much money wa
gered on the outcome that the thing
has a serious side to it.
