Another Strike in the Helen.
NO. 4e

President j. NJ Marsh of the Signal
Mines and Tunnel company is highly
elated oyer the strike made in the Helen
mine in Virginia canon this week. The
find was entirely unexpected and dis
closes the existence of a junction which
was not previously known The tunnel
from the Virginia canon roadway has he
enlarged and in blasting out where the
tunnel turns to cut the shaft it was neces-
sary TO make big turn in order to ac-
commodate the car and track. The
workm men drilled into what was apparent
ly porphry wall, and after shooting,
discovered what proved to pc a four foot
vein OF well mineralized ore. CONNER
cial sample Of the vein showed it to aver
age o.44 ounce gold. aa6o ounces silver
per ton. also lead and copper values
The gross value Of the ore Is Sz3. 90 per
ton. After the next round Of holes il
was found that on the hanging wall was
an eight-inch streak of solid smelling
ore, the valne Of which has not been de-
termned as We go to press. The COM
pany will be obliged to produce the ore
it has accidentally found although they
had not expected to take out any before
they had at least got the car and tracks
in.

Election day had many surprises for
the people of Clear Creek county. and
even at this late day, solution OF the
problem has not been given. Candidates
who had been rated as invincible by
both political parties, went down TO de-
feat by Overwhelming majorities. while
supposedly weak ones rode to victory on
the crest of tidal wave.
With the largest registration in many
yearn. followed by q very large vote cast.
there were less straight tickets In evi-
dence than was ever known before, and
this caused considerable delay in the
counting. There was no way of estimat-
ing the final result until the last pre-.
cinct had been heard from. there being
no two alike, q candidate running big
favorite in one precinct would be showed
under iu another. In Idaho Springs sew
eral of the election boards were com
PEELED to remain at work well into We'd
nesday in order to complete their task,
blanket ticket and numerous scratches
being the cause.
While Idaho Springs supported Gov
ernor Peabody. the outside precincts took
a contrary position and overcome his
vote here, giving the democratic nomi-
nee a majority.
Roy Blsckman, republican candidate
for county judge, surpassed the hopes of
even his most sanguine friends. defeating
Fred Collom by nearly 800 votes, carry
ing Georgetown almost solidly and get
ting splendid support in every other pre-
cinct.
A. r. comstock easily defeated v. I.
Noxon for county clerk but Mr.. Com
stock IS persistant efforts were at all times
at call to achieve the result.
Andrew Sandberg. for sheriff. defeated
the republican nominee. Jas. J. o'Rourke,
by keeping the Swede vote in line, but it
required untiring effort to bring about
this end. Mr.. O'Rourke was paid high
testimonial by bis home town, and this
will ever be source of satisfaction 20
him, even though he was defeated.
The greatest surprise of the day was
the defeat Of Coroner Trathen by S. NJ.
Smith. Mr.. Trathen is perhaps the best
known man in the county and has no
enemies that any one has ever heard
from. Mr.. Smith made but little effort
Idaho Springs siftings., 1904-11-12

fos the Office, accepting the democratic
nominaiion because the party had no
candidate within its ranks. Neither can
didste made canvas, aud Mr. Trathen's S
defeat an be attributed 10 no other cause
than tha, of over confidence.
II surprised no one that Peter b.
Sprsnkie defeated Jessie Jones for treas
ures. for his long residence in the county
and his sterling worth attracted to him
the support Of all political parties who
aeiighted in calling him to public SER
vice.
Mrs. bowman presented another case
of over confidence coupled with the fact
that she has held Office many terms. She
had been absent from the county during
most Of the campaign and this had a ten.
dency to render her friends luke warm.
She was defeated by the democratic NOM
inee for superintendet, Mrs. c. ]. Mason,
by about 60 votes.
Charley Crosson won the title of county
assessor by defeating Mr. A. Wood. He
made the most careful and complete can
vass Of the county of any Of the candi-
daiss. and missed seeing very few if any
OF the voters.
As was stated in this paper many times
the people of the county are especially
Interested in the Office of commission er
and only waited an opportunity to select
the best possible men, In choosing
Frank Maxwell, of Georgetown, and W.
H. Jones, of Empire, they certainly acted
wisely and the county is assured of a
business administration. While surprise
was expressed at the handsome majorities
gwen them, there was never a question
as to the fnal result aud it is most salts.
factorily to the people of the county.
1t was a campaign remarkably free
from personalities and disagreeable Incl
dents. and while the contestants fought
Persistautly for every foot Of ground, all
was fairly done and 10 friendships dis
rupted. And it was republican victory.
All are proud OF the handsome ma
jority given J.. w. b. Smith for the Office

him to have received more votes than
did the Roosevelt electors or any candi-

total majority in the district will require

 s. It is easy to see that the mere ex- istence of serious war between two nations stimulates the war fever in the other countries that are mere spectators of the struggle. Thus q war tends to demorahze the whole world, The papers inevitably are full of war news and discussion; the peo- pie think about military affairs and have their minds concentrated upon military conditions at home as well as abroad. Now, of course, is the time for jingoes and alarmists and big fleet advocates to urge larger appro- priations for army and navy. No one can tell, they say, when we shall have to fight ourselves.-Springield Re- publican.
