MAY Pardon Roberts.

The State Board of Pardons met at
Carson Friday to pass upon the petition
OF Fred Roberts, one of the four men
sentenced to hang for the murder of
Jack WEIGH in Humboldt County two
years ago. Several weeks ago the
other three men, Sevener, German and
Linderman were refused a communication
of sentence. but OIL account of Roberts
age, the lad having been but 16 years
old at the time, it is said a majority of
the Board opposes his execution.
Roberts aged mother. living at st.
Louis, has been in communication with
Governor Sparks and the other men,
bers of the Board for several weeks, and
her pitiful appeals, it is said. have not
been without effect.

CHEAP FUEL FOR GOLDFIELD.
Competition Forces Standard to Make
Low Rate on Crude Oil.

That grinding monopoly. the STAN
dard Oil Company, will not be under
sold. saws the Goldfield correspondent
of the Salt Lake Herald. Heretofore
Standard Oil gasoline has been the fuel
used at GoldAeld to propel 80 per cent
of the power machinery. Recently ar
r.ngements were made to install a
steam engine at n of the mines. 1t
b,ing claimed coal at SlS a ton would
fire the engine cheaper than gasoline.
Bat the Standard stepped in and has
arranged to lay California crude oil
down in Goldield at the remarkably
low price of s2.47 per barrel. Three
and one fourth barrels of oil will equal
a ton of coal on the basis of equivalence
SO O3 for the oil or $18 for the coal.
The company says it will take the oil.
But the reason for the delivery of
oil cheap by the Standard is said to be
to throttle competition in the shape OF
the new electric power company which
built, and is successfully operating, a
line from Bishop. Cal. This heavy COM
pauy showed commendable enterprise
in constructing the line, but the bust
ness is slowly killing the demand for
the Standard gasoline; hence the cheap
oil.
The Electric Power Company may
have a hard row of stumps to hoe
in competition like this, but mean
while Golifisld may revel in a bountiful
supply of cheap fuel for power. and
even for domestic purposes.

Sewage Kills Fish i'm the Truckee.

The report of G. G. Thomas, Game
and Fish Warden. for the season end
ing, has been approved by the Com
missioners of Washoe County. He
planted $4,000 fry in the Truckee this
season. %, 1000 being rainbow trout and
5000 landlocked salmon and cutthroat
front. The artificial culture of fish in
the Truckee is not practical, he says, as
the sewage from the Floriston paper
mills is d~epopulating The stream. In
order to determine the effect of the
paper mill sewage upon the fish. 1000
fry were placed i'll a trough of running
water and another thousand of the
same kind were placed in a trough of
running river water. AT the end OF
10 days 8 fish had died in the spring
water and so in the river water.

SILVER AND LEAD ADVANCE.
Expected That Both Metals will Hold
Strong i'm the Future.

The local ssttling price of lead was
fixed by the American Smelling g. Re-
fning Company at s. per 100 pounds
for this week and producers were
yesterday correspondingly happy. says
Tuesdays Salt Lake Herald. This is
an advance of Is cents over the price
which has prevailed for some little time
past and is due to the great strength
that the metal is showing in the New
York market.
For some time past the Missouri dis
tricts have been on the decline. and this
fact, coupled with the other important
factor, namely. that of Mexico's inabil-
ity longer to ship in lead with its zinc
ores free of duty, has had much to do
with the markets strength. but not all.
There has been a much greater demand
for lead during the last year than for
years before, and the surplus has been
practically wiped out. Then, too, it is
claimed that the American Company
now has a practical monopoly of the
lead market aud that it has determined
to raise the price anyhow.
Silver Headed for 70-Cent Mark.
Silver also shot up the line yesterday
to 631s cents per ounce. This is higher
by quite a margin than this metal has
been for a long time, and there is
reason to believe that the top has not
been reached yet. In addition to the
heavy demand for the metal by foreign
powers, it is claimed that the United
States Government will soon have to
invade the market for large quantities
of silver for the purpose of supplying
subsidiary coins.
With copper stronger than it has
been for years, speaking from the stand
point CT supply and demand; with lead
in precisely the same position. and with
silver gradually but surely heading for
the 70-cent mark, at least the future
certainly looks good for the Western
miner.

cisco-Hearst Claims Fraud in
New York-Reform Wave Car
ries Pennsylvania-Ohio Goes
Democratic.

Election day in New York City closed
with a dramatic scene at the Hoffman
House, where William r. Hearst
gathered his friends and advisers
around him and began the preparation
of his legal contest OF the returns which
indicated the success aud re election of
h Democratic opponent, George B.
Mcclellan.
As the late votes came in, showing
Mcclellan only q few thousand ahead,
and as it was noticed that figures from
some of the East Side districts were
missing, Mr.. Hearst said he believed he
was being cheated out of a hard-fought
and honestly won victory. and an
nounced his intention Il make a con-
test in the Courts.
He sent out a call at once for the
members of the Law Committee of the
Municipal Ownership League, and soon
they began to arrive, many of them in
evening clothes, they having been found
at social gatherings or at the the
theaters. After considering the situa-
ton fully, Mr.. Hearst gave out the
following statement:
Will Fight Tammany Tiger.
1--WE have won this election. All
Tammany's fraud, all Tammany's COR
ruption, all Tammany's intimidation
and violence, all Tammany's false
registration, illegal voting and dis
honest oun have not been able to
overcome a great popular majority.
The recoun will show that we have
won the ell .ction by many thousands of
votes.
81 shall fight this battle to the end, in
behalf of the people who have cast
their votes for me and who shall not be
disfranchised by any effort of criminal
bosses"
The Vote for Mayor.
Mayor McClellan's plurality of 1885 is
the smallest by which any Mayor of
New York has been elected. The total
vote for Mayor of Greater New York is
as follows: Mcclellan 228. Col, Hearst
225. 1876, WINS 1909.
Jerome Reelected.
With two election districts to be
heard from. District Attorney William
T. Jerome, Independent, has a plurality
over James w. Osborne, Democrat, for
District Attorney, of IL .450 votes.
First Step in Hearst Contest.
After reviewing the a~tfidavits sub.
mitted by the attorneys for William r.
Hearst, the defeated Municipal Owner
ship League candidate for Mayor of
NewYork City, an order was granted OH
Wednesday by Supreme Court Justice
William G. Gaynor in Brooklyn CON-
polling Police Commissioner McAdoo to
remove every ballot box from all the
precincts in Greater New York to the
Bureau of Elections in Manhattan. This
is Hearst's first legal step in a fight to
| secure a recount of the votes cast on
Tuesday. In signing the order Justice
Gaynor said :
1.-THE police have nothing whateve
to do with the ballot boxes, and it is
most astonishing that they should have
| possession of them. They have no right
to even touch them. The order is
granted"

Bets Held Up.

In the commercial district practically
all bets made on Mcclellan will be held
up pending developments. Conserva-
tive estimates make the amount
wagered on Mcclellan at not less than
$500. 900. while probably half that much
was bet on Jerome.

search was very pathetic, and she
aroused much sympathy among the
people of Beltrami county. The re-
mains were found in secluded spot
in Beltrami county, and from the ap.
pearance of the body and the cloth:
ing scattered about it, the theory was
advanced that Sullivan had been
killed by the wolves. Mrs. Sullivan
stated that detectives employed by
her presented discriminating evidence
to the county officials but they refused
to issue warrants upon the evidence
furnished. Robbery is supposed, by
Mrs. Sullivan, to be the motive of the
murder. She says her son had saved
$500 from his wages. Governor John

ito of the charges.
