DENYING SHELTER AFTER ARIZo-
 MA ORES.

The Deming smelter, operated by the Luna Lead company, of Deming. blew in some days ago, having on hand sufficient tonnage of ore to insure Continuous operations for an indefinite period. The management of the Dem ing shelter has taken special pains to make rates to small lead mining operators that permit the mining and shipping of low grade ores which were heretofore considered unprofitable. This policy has resulted in awakening the interest of a great many mine owners in New Mexico and eastern Arizona who had practically discon- tinued development work. From pres ent indications the Deming smelter promises 10 prove boon to the lead properties of the territories.

NEW PROCESS FOR AN ARIZONA
 MINE.

c. Ben Heney, of Fairbank, has been experimenting at Fl PasO with ores from the Hardshell mine in the Pata- gonia mountains, trying a new concen- trator in their reduction and realizing very satisfactory results. The new machine, which will be put upon the market shortly, saves two-thirds of the silver values in the Hardshell ores and the wet processes of concentra. tiOn will save only one-third losing the rest in the tailings.

tom JOHNSON AGAIN.
1t Looks as Though He Will Win in
Cleveland.

Columbus. O.. Nov with the
election in the state of Ohio only
few days off, opinions of the various
leaders are almost as vide apart as
the poles. The Democrats claim that
not only will they. elect their candi-
date, Pattison. governor and their en-
tire state ticket, but that they viii Sc
cure control of the majority of the
leading cities of the state. On the
other hand. the Republican leaders
declare that Myron T. Herrick, their
gubernatorial candidate, and every
one of his fellows on the Republican
state ticket win be elected by the nor
NAL Republican plurality of say, 49,
600, while they also insist they will
elect the mayors of every one of the
large cities, even including Cleveland,
where Tom L. Johnson is candidate
for reelection.
Chief interest in the municipal fight
naturally centers in Cincinnati, where
party lines are shattered and George
B. Cox, the Republican leader, is max
ing the fight of his life.
In Cleveland Johnson is expected to
win. while in Toledo the result is in
doubt. In the other cities of the state
the present municipal parties are
likely to be continued.

DRINKING OUT OFSTYLE
Mayor Davis Declares That Business
and Whisky Won't Mix.

THE travelling man Of today no
longer thinks it is necessary to in
vite his customer to go out and take
a drink with him before they can
strike on terms" said Mayor w. H.
Davis who has had thirty-five years
experience with the travelling man
and his customs. He has seen them
all, of low and high degree and he
himself gives employment to a large
number of that profession.
Times are changing and so has
the travelling man." continued the
mayor. 1T used to be that d group
of travelling men would come to To-
peka and, gathering together would
go out on a carousing and gambling
spree which would last over three or
four days. They would meet each
other by appointment at some hotel
in Topeka and after they had COM
pleted their work would go put in
several days drinking and gambling.
They couldn't get through with a
sale of goods without breaking in and
taking a drink or insisting that their
customers should go out with them
and spend a few hours over a social
glass
There are very few Of this class
on the road now. You very seldom
run across a travelling man who insists
that his customer should take d drink
with him. Times are changing and

Ihirty-fve Philadelphia Preachers
viii Speak for City Party.

Philadelphia, Nov Philadelphia
tonight closed one of the hottest po-
IiiticaI campaigns in its history and
finds the managers of two contending
forces claiming victory by enormous
majorities. The city party wound up
its campaign with a series of big ward
meetings, an automobile tour of the
city by Mayor Weaver. during which
he spoke, it is estimated. to 10000
people. The mayor is the most con-
hdent of the city party leaders. He
asid: 81 look for 100000 majority for
the city party
Franklin Redmond, chairman of the
city committee of the city party, is a
bit more conservative. He announced
today that he thinks, as the result of
a canvass in the various wards, that its
ticket will win by $4,000 majority The
chairman of the Democratic city COM
mittee Charles Donnelly, said today
that he believed confidently that the
Icity party candidates, who were en-
dorsed by the Democrats, will win
with a margin of 10000.
on the regular Republican side the
estimating is equally e. high. Some of
the leaders declare they foresee a ire

New York Herald Closes It's Poll With

New York. Nov. 4.-For the first

without attempting to indicate any
possible winner in the mayoralty
contest other than to state that the

WINS, 333.
While this is the average taken from
the postal card vote accepted by the

figures are concerned they, in the opin-

cate the election of Mr.. Hearst mas

FIFTY DEAF MUTES.
Sit Down in a Body to a Quiet
Dinner.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. Fifty
deaf mutes, who came to Minneapolis
TO see the Minnesota-W Wisconsin foot
ball game, sat at a dinner at Rich
mond Halls tonight with apparent
zest and enjoyment. The visitors were
guests of the Minneapolis Society of
Deaf Mutes at the dinner given for
the benefit of the church fund of the
society.
The function could not be described
as a noisy one. In truth everything
was unusually quiet and although
there were many signs of good fellow
ship, all vociferous expressions of
feeling were tabooed.
Following the dinner there was
motion programme that brought
pleasure to the guests. Although as
far as known none of the persons
whispered a word of it, the secret
leaked out that many of the guests
who had come from various parts of
the northwest to help Minnesota with
their moral support, had wagered
sums on the contest. It was learned
that an aggregate Of about $500 had
been bet and lost on the game. but
despite this good cause for sorrow, joy
seemed 70 predominant.

Before There Was Railroad Problem.

BY 1859 there were no less than six
mail routes to California Counting the
Panama steamer) Ben Holiday
was king. No other man, anywhere,
has owned and managed a transporta-
ton system at once so vast and so diff
ficult. He had sixteen frst-class pas
senger steamers, plying the Pacific
from San Francisco to Oregon, Pan
anna, Japan, and China. At the height
of his Overland business he operated
nearly 5000 miles of daily mail stages,
with about 500 coaches and express
wagons, 500 freight wagons, 5000
horses and mules, and a host of oxen.
On the main line he used 2,750
horses and mules and 100 Concord
coaches. It cost $55, 600 for the har-
ness; the feed bill was a million year.
To equip and run this line for the
first twelve months cost $2s425, 600.
The government paid Holiday mill
ion a year in mail contracts. In 1864
grain was worth twenty-five cents a
pound. along the line, and hay up to
1925 a ton. In one day Dave Street
contracted, at St. Louis, for seven Mis-
souri, river steamers to load with corn
for the Overlands army of mules and
horses.
Holladay-wlose whole career reads
like fiction-was the Overland Napo-
leon Cor about five years, beginning
in December, 1861. The Indian dep
predations of 1864-66 greatly crippled
his stage-line, nearly all the stations
for 400 miles being burned, his stock
stolen and his men killed The loss
was upward of half a million. In No
Vember 1866, he sold out the Over
land stages to Wells, Fargo & Com
pany, in whose hands the romantic
enterprise continued until the railroads
drove romance off the Plains forever.

CITY is SHORT.
Mayor Davis Has a New Scheme
for Raising Money.
VIII Borrow From the General
improvement Fund.
$4,000 is TIED UP.
First National Failure RespOn-
sible for the Trouble.
Only S9,72I Available for the
Current Expenses.

The city is confronting a situation
where it may have to borrow money
in order to pay off the legitimate run
ming expenses of the city. It is either
a case of that or stamp the bills and
warrants Unpaid for want of funds"
The mayor is thinking seriously of
borrowing money. While looking over
the report of City Treasurer NJ. NJ.
Hale Saturday afternoon the mayor
said. cit certainly looks like we
would have to borrow money" Then
later fearing that he had spoken un-
wisely he said: "The report is better,
however. than I expected. 1t is look
ing pretty good"
The city win have to borrow from
the general Improvement fund again
fin order to take care of the monthly
pay rolls of the various city depart
ments There is only $9,721.21 in the
general revenue fund. The fund
would be wiped entirely out if the
October pay rolls should be met with
that fund alone. The city council will
get around this difficulty by appro-
priatng a portion of the general i'm
prOvement fund and transferring it
to the credit of the general revenue
fund. This is commencing to eat into
the general Improvement fund, how
ever. and it is now reduced to S13,-
420.75.
This is always the slack time for
the city. Taxes are not coming in
and the running expenses are we'll up.
City Treasurer Hale maintains that
the city is in better condition now than
last year 1--WE have got four thou
sand dollars more in the treasury than
we had last year at this time said
he.
The great worry of the city is the
fact that it has $4,000 tied up in the
defunct First National bank which
viii not be available for several months
to come.
The report which the treasurer will
submit shows that the city has on
hand S153,392.32.

seven miners having succumbed to
their horrible injuries and more are ex-

men in the mines working in the vicin-

not killed and injured is a miracle.
There are several explanations as to
how the disaster occurred, but it is
said that each of them is but an ex-
preston of opinion, as nothing is defin-
ttely known of the cause. 1t is claim
ed by some that an accumulation of
gas lgnited from miners lamp, but
the most reasonable version is that it

even does not appear probable for there
