Eli II. Porter of Wilmington, the

gives his views on the result in the
following, published in the New York
World: "This election has been es-
pecially notable for the apathy of the
voters. Neither party has cast as
large vote as in 1900.
"The republicans put into the field
a larger number of speakers and in
every way made the most vigorous
campaign ever waged. The democrats
did the best they could under adverse
conditions bat lacked the means to
make as strenuous acampaign as that
made by our opponents.
'"The result shows that the demo-
cratic vote has fallen of possibly 200
more than that of the republicans. +"

the railroad work inaugurated
two weeks agoa mile and half north
OF Tonopah is being prosecuted Wig
orously and considerable progress
has been made. The big cut, which
in places is fourteen and fifteen feet
deep, is being driven in solid rock,
and the contractors are making
about fifteen feet a day. The rock
taken from the cut is run into the
fill just north of it and roadbed ten
feet high is being made. About
thirty men are employed at this
point of the road.
During the week the engineers
have been running lines in the vicin.
ity OF the depot site, which is To-
Gated few hundred feet north and
west of the Golden Anchor dump,
and about half a mile from town.
Here a fill several hundred feet long
and from two to five feet high will be
required in order to strike level
from the northern approach. South
east of the depot site, and just before
the Midway mill is reached, three
spurs will run from the main track:
one toward the Montana Tonopah,
one towards the Siebert shaft. and
the other in the direction of the Val
ley View. Sidings will also be put in
alongside the main track to make
room for empties, etc.
Bert Trip, seer etary to General
Superintendent Tripp, came ID last
night from the front, and says rapid
progress is being made along the
line. Five miles of track has been
laid out of Rhodes, and the force is
laying rail at the rate of half mile a
day. Material is arriving regularly,
and nothing now stands in the way
of rapid work.
The Mclean & McSweeney force
and the Collins & Young force have
nearly finished their work between
Coles and French's wells, and within
two weeks, MIR. Trip states, Nc
Lean & McSweeney will move their
camp to a point fourteen miles out
of Tonopah and will work both ways
to make connection.
