The States are gradually ab~oliShing
the ''off-year" elections, regarding
them as so much waste of energy and
money. AS a rule the people are apa-
thetic in such elections and the vote is
small. This year, however, was a
striking exception. The State and local
campaigns just ended aroused the
keenest interest, chiefly on account of
the prominence of the issue of good
government versus corrupt boss rule.
1t is a remarkable fact that directly
or indirectly every local election turn
ed on the question of graft, while :he
State elections involved issues that
afforded unusual scope to the exercise
of independence.
Governors were elected in Massachu-
sets, Rhode Island, Ohio, Virginia and
Georgia. Some States elected new
Legislatures. Maryland voted on the
German constitutional amendment de-
signed to disfranchise colored men,
but which was so drawn as to threat
en- tens of thousands of white citizens.
The notable county and municipal con
tests were those of New York, Phil
adelphia. Cincinnati. Cleveland and
San Francisco.
Interest was almost wholly centered
in the struggles made in the munich
palities. There party lines were not
closely drawn, but graft, bossism, mu-
nicipal ownership and other kindred
issues which have absolutely no rela-
tionship to national party platforms
were put to the test. The principal
fight, which attracted more attention
throughout the country than any sim
liar contest in this generation and
which almost approached a presiden-
tial election in interest, was that of
Jerome in New York, with the Hearst
effort to get into the mayoralty upon a
semi-Socialist platform scarcely sec
ond.
In Massachusetts the leading issue
has been tariff revision, though cor
poration influence" in legislation has
been a prominent charge banded by
the candidates.
In Rhode Island constitutional re-
form and popular versus corporate rule
were the issues. The Democratic can
didate for Governor was DR.. Garvin,
former Governor, and the Republican
nominee was Governor Utter, who ia
vored conservative organic changes.
In Ohio Governor Herrick was op-
posed by John NJ. Pattison, and each
appealed to the independent voter.
Boss Cox of Cinc:ni Il has been an
issue in the campaign, but Taft and
other influential Republicans advised
scratching.
That the Republicans would poll a
much smaller vote than usual In Ohio
had been known for several weeks, but
the extent of the decrease Is a ur-
prise that will keep the politicians
busy explaining for some time to come.
Last year Ohio gave Roosevelt a plu-
rality of 255,OO0. Its plurality for Nc
Kinley in 1900 was about 10000 ard

MORE BIG GUNS.
Distinguished Party From San Fran.
cisco Visiting Camp.

A distinguished party OF San Fran
cisco business men arrived in Goldfield
this week to inspect the camp generally
andr.the Windsor and N~ightengale
groups in particular. These claims were
purchased recently through the COM
pany's representative, Amos W.
B%roughton, and an extensive develop
ment work will be Immediately COM
menced under the supervision of III. r.
Bacon -
HAmong the party are John c. Lynch,
collector of internal Revenue of San
Francisco; Jere 7. Lynch, OF the law de
pa%rtmentssof the Southern Pacific COM
pany; Walter F. Parker, also of the
Southern Pacific tax department; James
H. Borland, prominent in San Fran
cisco.business circles; Albert Lachman,
one of the principal owners of the Cali
fornia Wine association and a man of
large wealth; Henry Lachman and
Abraham Lachman, both capitalists;
and Senator Howard A. Broughton, the
San Francisco representative of the com
pany.
1t is the intention of the party to cam
vass the conditions and possibilities OF
this district thoroughly with a view to
further investment. The properties now
held by the company are among the
most favorablv located in the district
and every indication points to the max
ing of good mines. The work to be
carried on will give an impetus to the
development of the eastern part OF the
district and will extend the area OF pro-
duction to the most promising section OF
the camp. 1t is to be hoped that this
company will extend their operations to
other portions of the district and open
up other properties which are of UNI
questionable merit.

CRITIC GONE o
Denver Mining Record Calls Down a
Hnocker.


The Record has before remarked that
sectional backbiting can be of nc SER
vice to the mining industry, which rec
ognizes no state boundaries, says the
Denver Mining Record. This say
ing is recalled in connection with the
treatment which a certain bullion figure
from Goldfeld has received from another
quarter of the globe. 1t is stated that
the annual report of the comptroller of
Nevada shows hat the total bullion out
put of Esmeralda county for 1904 was
1886 go. The one who makes use of
this quotation appears to take a good
deal of satisfaction out of it, because
Goldfield is not within his sphere of in
~fiuence. So that, entirely aside from
the truth or falsity of the estimate
given, the writer has placed himself in
the attitude of being delighted at the
discovery that Goldfield is not a great
mining camp, after all, and that it will
be an uninhabitable stretch of desert
again within a few months.
In other words, from 10000 to 20, 1000
people, who are satisfied with Goldfeld
and the surrounding country, have en-
tered into a gigantic conspiracy to hood
wink the rest of the world. One would
think that a good, live detective could
60 into the new country and ferret out
this remarkable plot and hold southern
Nevada up to the ridicule of the United
States.
No mining section can shed any lustre
upon itself by taking exception to the
prosperity of another.
What are the facts in the case. The
Combination mine alone has already
paid in dividends $500, 600. The most
astute men have visited Goldfield and
they have not discovered the imagined
conspiracy. For example, j. +. Spur.
of the United States Geological Survey,
is one of those who have been deceived
by these terrible Goldtield statisticians,
for Mr.. Spur states as a positive fact in
a bulletin issued from Washington that
5000, 900 was taken IL in six months
from the McKane-Bowes lease on the
Jumbo. He also states in all serious
ness that a fraction over ii ton of ore
from the Sandstone yielded $i5, 7S3 net,
when treated in a stamp mill, and the
~tailings still contained 81 900 to the ton.
Perhaps the critic to whom we are re-
ferring thinks this ~well-known scientific
man was joking when he spoke thus, or
that he was hypnotized tie moment he
arrived in Goldtield. The fact is, MIR.
Spurs assistant was SO astounded that
he quit the government on the spot and
started out prospecting.
Tut, tut! Does not the southern Ne
vada excitement look extremely real?
And does not the critic quoted feel
ashamed of himself?

Runaway Monday Evening.

There was an exciting runaway on
Main street last Monday. The horses
of Il three-seat stage became frightened
at a passing automobile and started to
run. They had gone but a short dis
lance when the tongue broke and caught
in the ground causing the stage to turn
a complete somersault. The horses
broke loose and ran some distance be-
fore being caught. The driver, whose
name is Williams. seeing the horses were
beyond control, jumped from his seat
and escaped injury. The stage was
badly damaged.

county. Here they found the whole
colony seemingly surrounding the

cooling and calling and fiuttering was
so great that mans voice could not
be heard three feet away. This was
the last great nesting in this state
and so far as these pigeon hunters
know. the last in the United States.
When we figure that each man
caught on the average so dozen or ooo
birds per day for foGr weeks, and that
hundreds of men were netting, Is 1t
any wonder that pigeons have disap-
peared? At this last nesting the BIRDS
diminished in numbers so rapidly that

In 1874 at Shelby in Oceana county,
where for years the nesting had been
located, men congregated for the pur-
pose of buying for sporting clubs,
for stall feeding and speculation and
catching, and it was the principal
business of the town. The tail feath
ers pulled out and the wings chopped
off with hatchet accumulated around
the station 70 such an extent that the
teamsters who brought in the pigeons
were required to load in the feather

Has your dinner lost its SAVIOR,

Is your daily stunt a burden?
Is your laughter half a sheer?
There's a medicine to cure you,
There's a way to lift your load,
With horse and saddle and mile OF

Is your eyeball growing bilious?
Is your temper getting short?
Is this life a blind delusion,
Or grim unlovely sport?
There's a world of health and beauty,
There's a help that cannot fail,
In a day behind the burros
On dusty mountain trail.
Come out. old man, we're going
To a land that's free and large,
Where the rainless skies are resting
On snowy mountain marge.

ARTIST MET HER IDOL.

The London Outlook tells a pretty
story of the late John Ruskin, artist,
author. reformer, which shows that
courtly and chivalric gentleman and
great writer in a playful mood:
Mr.. Ruskin was taking morning
Brentwood, when he saw lady seat
ed on a camp stool making a sketch
of the house, and, with a courteous
grace which was intensely his own, he
addressed her, inquiring her reason
for choosing the house in question tor
her subject.
1T is the house of the famous John
Ruskin." she frankly asked.
Have you met Ruskin?" she was
asked.
mo. indeed" she replied eff had
would have deemed it one of the
greatest privileges of my life"
Then. madam. if you care to fol

In twinkling the stool and ease
were packed up and the artist eagerly
followed the guide. To her surprise
and qualification, he led her up to thu
house. and entering. babe his CUES

marched the stranger into the draw

fireplace. a familiar attitude, he e>
claimed. to the amazement of his con
