The election in Portland was extremely
quiet. Many men undoubtedly forgot to
go to the polls, having expressed their
Judgment ON the national Issues In Sep.
tembsr. No effort was made by either
party to bring out the full vote and only
thoss voted who found 1t convenient to
do so.
The small vote in Portland Is the result
of the very little attention which has
been paid to this stats since September
by either party. Maine was felt to be safe
for Mckinley and all Of the interest was
conferred In the contests In other states.

man in a murderous mood brought on
by excessive drink was captured by the
police officers Tuesday night about midnight
end OF town. The trouble was started in
house at ia South Ninth street occupied by
a woman named Spanish May. The man be-
came abusive there and was ordered out of
the house. This angered him so that he drew
pocketknife and started for the woman
with an arm raised to strike She barely
escaped him and fed through the rear door
dropping into a nook of the building as a
hiding place. The man followed her and
thinking she had gone down the alley went
that way.
Ohicer Mccarthy observed a man running
from the alley, hatless and with a knife in
his hand and Immediately gave chase. The
position OF the man with a desire to kill
changed quickly from pursuer to pursued and
the chase took the two down side streets
and across vacant lots in the lower end Of
town for nearly mile. Just as Officer Nc
Carthy was considering the effect of a dis
charge of fire arms would have, officer
Thomas surprised all parties by springing
from a doorway at Tenth and Farnam and
tackling the fugitive as If he were play

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. ia special to
the Times from Pueblo, Colo, says:
BY contracts just closed here between the
owners Of undeveloped iron ore and coal
lands in southwestern Utah and the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company Of this city, it is
evident that a new and important iron ore
region is to be opened at once on a magnii-
cent scale 1t is apparent from the plans OF
the Colorado company and an European con-
cern that is completing negotiations there,
that there will not only be new mining
Held opened, but a new manufacturing dis
trict and one that will have an important
bearing on the American trade of the Pacific
islands.
The contracts now closed are between
Minnesota men named r. b. Dear aud f. w.
Lerch, who have been interested in the vast
ore beds of the Mesaba range for years, and
the Fuel and Iron company, the latter agree
ing to mine what is practically a minimum
amount of 100000 tons yearly at a royalty
of 10 ceuts ton from the lands of these
Minnesota men and to construct a railway
there connecting with this city, $50 miles
north In addition to the lease of eleven
mining claims to the company the owners
have leased $40 acres OF coal lands carrying
a class of CCal that is now available for
coking into furnace coke under the process
that is owned and operated by the Letters
of Chicago.
There are also limestone ledges in the dis
trict, as we'll as fuxes of other minerals A
concern composed of European capitalists
and with $2,000000 in hand for Immediate
necessities has been endeavoring to buy
the Dear Lerch lands, but has failed. 1t has
now optioned for $500 900, portion of the
remaining bearing lands, and proposes
to erect smelters and rolling mills there
and construct a railway to harbor on the
Pacific 800 miles away, where a port will
be opened for the shipment of finished irCn
and steel to the Orient.
Two years ago these lands and the inn
mense iron ore deposits therein were the
property of the United States government,
being considered worthless by the mining
men of that region who were looking for
copper and gold. The knowledge of them
came to r. II. Dear and with Mr.. Lerch he
staked and proved twenty five claims, COW
ering about half the surface indications OF
iron steel. The iron rises 500 feet above the
level of the desert, is 500 feet wide and ex-
tends for a mile. There are, say the authori-
ties 40, ,O00,O 900 tons in sight above the desert
in the claims taken by these two men.

gression on the southern frontier of China.
They have occupied an extent of Chinese
territory equal to ten counties or more and
have been ceded a fine harbor in southern

killed in engagements resisting the French.

although they were not as successful as
they hoped to be, they had a good time,

story of their discontinue. James A. Glib
son, the public administrator, was in the
crowd. Judge Casteel, who claims to be
the best shot in the city when he is talking
to people who will not challenge him, was
one of the hunters County Clerk Nash
and Johu Thomas, with his scattering gun
made up the remainder of the party. Thomas
took his shotgun out into a thinly settled
country and discharge it, 1t was his inten-
tion to put in the remainder of the day
gathering up the game that had been killed
There was a farm house away off at one
side of the direction in which Thomas had
pointed the gun when he discharged it. and
the hunters noticed that there was a COM
motion around the place in a little while
They learned later that the dog owned by
the farmer had been killed.
The farmer said the animal was a very
valuable one and he demanded 500 for it,
threatening to have the entire party ar
rested. The hunters refused to pay. They
told the farmer he had wheels, and that the
dog was better off dead and things like that
About that time the farmer noticed that a
buzzard had been killed by the random shot
fired by Thomas, and he knew he had them
He said the fine for killing a buzzard was
$50, and If the money was paid over to him
he would go over to the county seat enter
an appearance for the offender and settle
the matter He made it a condition that he
should be paid for his dog at the same time
The hunters raised the $50 but they were
