POLITICAL POINTERS.
|,lfoile-O'Connor Ticket Carried the
 Day-Durant Out Again.

The first ward democratic primary, #hich was held for the second time
 st night because the one held last keek was declared illegal because of zleged ballot box stuffing, resulted Ill l victory for the Guilfoile and O'Con-
 br ticket by majority of Al votes.
 .he total vote was 435, of which the suilfoile ticket received 238 and the lowe Flanagan ticket 197.
 R Much interest centered in last lights battle for much depended bon it's result. A victory meant in reased hope for Attorney Francis F. Suilfoile in his fight for the judge of ,robate nomination, while defeat meant that Judge Lowe would win asily. A victory for Henry O'Con- Ior meant that he would have the lbmination for registrar clinched, while John Flanagan, the present reg Btrar, would be as good as out of the hce. So the respective leaders and heir friends worked with untiring en- rgy with the result that big vote week. It was all work from the pening of the polls at 4 o'clock until hey were closed at 10 o'clock. While he votes were being counted a large rowd, including leaders from the oth- 1T wards, awaited the returns, which howed victory for the same ticket hat won last week by 15 majority.
 The fight for judge of probate is be ng waged increasingly. Both sides laim victory. The Lowe supporters laim IT pledged delegates while the Suilfoile men assert that at least 16 if the delegates will vote for him. 1Connor's nomination for registrar appears certain.

LAKE COUNTy'S SALT
DEPOSITS OPERATED

lt is not generally known that
Lake county has large salt deposits in
the northern part of Warner valley.
After high water each season large
quantities of ID are deposited HI the
water rccedes. Many years ago this
land was purchased from the state by
David Jones, now deceased, the first
settler of Warner valley. At the
point where the salt was deposited he
built n large building, with II strong
floor, perforated with augerholes.
Over this floor the waters could rise
In the spring. aud after going down
there would be- many tons ot pure
salt, which had only tn be shoveled
up and sacked to be ready for mar

For the past five years, up tn last
winter. there WAS no salt, owing In
part to the light winters. in part to
the conversion of Warner lake, which

Is becoming more difficult every year
to secure IA large tonnage of ores for
the big central smelters that rely on
this continent for their supply. The
reason Tor this IL that the cyanide

reduce the amount of ores every
year that is necessary to ship To
smelters. Of course concentration
renders the product of many mines
sufficiently valuable to ship, but the
tonnage, compared to that of the
ore, Is very small. Particularly does
this shrinkage of the supply apply
to dry ores.
This, incidentally, accounts for tho
fact that the smelter trust every year
or so shuts down one of it's plants.

GOLD PRODUCTION
AND CIRCULATION

The United States director OF the
mint has put forth some figures re-
garding the gold production and
money circulation of the world that
speak volumes for the prosperity of
this country. According to his
estimates, the annual production of
glod in all the world IL at least
$3.50. 900. 900. The population of the
world II estimated ut 1,2S5, 600. 600
persons. The amount of gold money
In circulation is s5.382. 600. 900 ;
silver. s3, 500, 900, 900, and un-
covered paper, s2.?33, 500, O00--a a
grand total of sl2, lS5, 100, 900.
This figure of sl2, 1S5, 100, 900 Is all
the money in the world. Such total
was never reached before.
Not only IL the immense pro-
duction of gold aud silver rapidly
increasing the total amount Of
money In existence, but the rate Of
growth IL also much faster than that
of the population. Measured by the
money IL has, the human race Is
rapidly growing richer. 1t Is esti-
mated that the increase In gold money
alone amounts to twenty hve.cents u
year for each individual. The
amount of silver and paper money
Is also growing fast. But this
growth of money wealth Is not being
evenly distributed. Some nations
rate growing poorer in circulating
medium while others are gaining ut a
rapid rate. Apparently n nations
are Of growth In general wealth
usually precedes or accompanies the
increase In circulating medium.
That IL taken IN the reason for the
Rrea: increase of recent years In the

Twenty years ago the United States

powerful nations In the amount of
money in circulation. At the
present time. according to the latest
estimates Of tho director OF the mint,
this country {. IL second only to

States. which are proportionately

than three times the average of the

an exceptional amount of brains. Any

From the Washington Star.
An old doctor. from one Of the
southern states, a gentleman now well
advanced in the scale of years. dur
ing "a visit to friends in Washington
week or so ago, entertaining a small
party OF friends with various reminis-
cences in his career as a medical man
ana otherwise, spoke of the days when
the code duello had wide Champion
ship In parts of the country where he
lived and practiced his profession.
DOCTOR, said one of the party I'VE
all know that in your early days, when
you were young and handsome, so to
speak, you were recognized as a strong
advocate of duelling. Did you ever
engage as a principal in one yourself?"
mo" said the old gentleman, some-
what mournfully. II did on one or
two occasions invite persons to the
neld, but the requests were not COM
piled with, and, though l have been
present at a few hostile meetings. I
was there In my humble capacity as a
surgeon, and. of course, to heal rather
than to hurt any one"
Another member Of the small COM
pany inquired of the doctor concern-
Ing his presence at any fatal eneount-
err. Did you ever see a man killed i'm
regular old-fashioned duel?" was the
question.
II am very happy to answer that
In the negative" was the reply. "III
tell you of one incident that I am
personally cognizant Of" said the doc
tor, and that is seasoned both with
pathos and some little amusement.
This was before the war, when two
young men, both lawyers and both
married to beautiful women, became
involved in dispute i'm court, and
one of them accused the other Of pre-
varication. He used no stronger LAM
quage, but that was enough. The dis
pute occurred in the forenoon, and
before the afternoon was on the de-
cline challenge had been sent and
accepted. The men were to fight at
twenty PAGES with muskets loaded with
duckshot at daylight on the next
morning. | was surgeon for the chaI-
lenger and everything was arranged
all right. The offended man had a
friend who was to remain with him
all night. and his leading second, with
myself, were to call for him at
o'clock on the morning OF the meeting
and go with him and others TO the
ground.
well, we did call. but couldn't get
our man. The report of a duel got out
and the young fellows young wife
heard of IL and captured him. She
went into mysteries about a dozen
times. The result OF il was that, so
far as he was concerned, the affair was
off. He couldn't get away. The sec
ond, however. went to the field to take
his place and j went along, of course
I'VE got there in full time but to
our amazement there was no enemy.
The other mans wife had also scream
ing kicking and fainting and he, like
the other, couldn't get away. His sec
ond came I'm the course Of a few mo-
ments, but after comforting with my
mans second (they were good friends,
too) the two agreed that Il was not
their funeral and there was no duel.
Later on an arbitration COMMITTEES
decided that there was no call for ex-
IRENE measures anyhow. and. with
honors easy. the quarrel was settled.
These two fellows became good friends
afterward. as they were before the dis
pute IN court. Both OF them were

all, like our own cabstands, every new
conner finda he must ingratiate himself
with those ,efore him by a small pres
ent to commemorate his entrance into
their company. At busy stands the
numbers are always full, and strang-
ers are not accepted on any terms ex-
cept by purchasing the goodwill" Of
a stand vacated by retiring menu
Der. When the stands are located in
the station Enclosure, or on the ground
belonging to the railway. the men are
even more exclusive. Outside the rail-
way Enclosure at some places are to
be seen men who solicit passengers,
and when their fare is ,made undersell
Il to the men at 81 stand in the vicin-
ity, pocketing the difference. They
are commonly known as gogai, and
not infreQuently make more money
than the bona-fide rikishamen.

the Jinrikishaman, nor is he given to
honest practices. On the contrary, he
Will harangue for half an hour in en-
deavoring to swindle likely fare out
OF paltry copper. more especially if
the inquirer happens to be a newly-ar-
rived European, scorning reference to
the official regulations. These regu-
lations, II may be mentioned, not only
govern the conduct of the men them
selves, but give directions for the con-
struction and color of the jinrikisha,
together with its appurtenances, and
stipulate what dress the men shall gem
orally wear, in addition to style and
color of the waterproof donned in wet
weather. The rule of the road is also
given infinitely. Keep to the left holds
good In Japan. though there is an ex-
ception when troops. commissariat, etc,
are in sight, for the right side must
then be taken. An unoccupied convey
ance must yield to the occupied, and
when 1t Is desired to overtake another
rikisha travelling I'm the same direction,
that intention must be expressed loud
ly, so that the one in front may swerve
to the right. Mail carts and fire en-
gines, of course. together with water
drays and funeral professions, have
precedence over other vehicles, which
must move out OF the way with alac-
rity. The regulations of the police are
seconded to great extent by the ef-
forts of the guilds, one of which exists
In each district or ward, of the large
cities. to which every tsjudi-guruma
must belong. In Toxic there are about
$1,000 jinrlkishas. which are divided
into fifteen guilds, according TO the
number Of urban districts, so that
every guild manager, who Is chosen
by the members. has charge OF over
$500 wheelers. a task which Is by no
means light. and compares with the
secretaryship of trades union in this
country, though Il must be admitted
that the duties are decidedly more on
erous.
