CONCORD, n. H., Feb. 1s.-It is generally
conceded that the Republicans are to have
an old fashioned contest in the selection
of a successor to Gov. John McLane. In
recent years this matter has been disposed
of without friction and the winning nomi-
nees have carried things almost unani-

One faction OF the leaders Is endeavor-
ing to get DR.. William j. Tucker. president
of Dartmouth College, to stand as can.
didate.
President Tucker has not viewed the
proposal with great favor, but his sup

There seems to be some mixup in tho
dates, since it is safe to assume that there
was no slst of September that year. Tho
check is dated October 30. But what Mr..
Wray seemed to think interesting by con-
trast was this extract from Mr.. Shepard's
address to the jury in the Deuel. prosecution
Of Hapgood for libel:
What would you or ! think If man came
into our offices with a card bearing the name
OF Torn Topics on 1t? Speaking for myself.
there would be a cold chill ! would feel
that had to face something terrible. not that

John A. Mccall was born in Albany on
March 2, 1s4e. His parents were of Irish
extraction. His father kept little corner
grocery store in the district known as
Gapder Bay and was the Democratic super.
visor for his ward
Young Mccall went TO the public school IN
Gander Bay and served for n while as y
butchers boy in market at Clinton avenue
and North Pearl street. He played first
base on the old semi-professional Live Oaks
baseball team.
He entered a business school in Albany
and was graduated in 1886. Two years
later he got place as clerk in the old Albany
State Currency Asserting House at salary
of SEQ month. A few years later friend
got him job as bookkeeper in the Con-
nectiout Life Insurance Company agency
at Albany. There he got his first knowledge
Of insurance affairs.
In 1859 Mr. Mccall. then 20 years old,
obtained olerkship in the actuarial de-
partment OF the State Insurance DEPART
ment under Supt. George w. Miller,
Democrat, with a salary OF 5000 a year.
In two years he had served his apprentice
ship in this department and was put in
charge Of statistical work. In 1872 John
F. Smyth was made head Of the State In
surance Department. He was Republic
can and was called upon to rid the depart
ment Of the Democrats to make room for
Republican appointees. Mccall at that
time was drawing small salary and had
a wife and child to support. A story ia
told in this connection which illustrates
aptly his tact and his capacity for work.
The newly appointed superintendent had
noticed on several occasions that lights
were burning In the departments Offices
way into the early hours OF the morning.
He went into the Offices one night for the
purpose Of investigating and found young
Mccall figuring away as though his life
depended upon having the job finished
before daylight.

Eureka-More than the usual amount OF
hustle and hurry was evident al the
Eureka&Pa .isadc Railway depot in Eur
ka on Thursday. William Maston, the pi-
oneer freighter OF Hamilton. loaded di-
rect from the car a complete Diamond
drill outfit for the Gerioux Con Minis
Company OF Ely. with orders to rush it
through to the company'ss mines as fast
as possible.
Goldneld-The st. Ives mine win soon
be listed among the shippers of this camp
In a short time the first consignment OF
ore will go to the smelter and after that
the shipments will be frequent and reg
ular. At this time the product OF the
mine Is being stored In the lower leveas
pending the completion OF arrangement
for handling and reducing the ore.
The rich ore bodies are confined to the
$50 and $50 foot levels and 1t is learned
that at both levels the ledge has an av-
erare width of four feet. and carries an
average value running close to $500, with
nickel samples running much higher. In
tf&of1
character the ore Is very similar to that
of the Florence mine and shows an abuh-
dance OF beronite which carries the
gold. In many instances free gold Is WIS.,
ible and the rock pans freely.
At the $50 foot level the ledge has been
drifted on for a distance OF $50 feet ana
as this work IL carried ahead the ledge
remains uniform and gives assurance OF
a large tonnage for shipping. At the 2so
foot level and about 200 feet form the
a raise has been started In the ore
and from this point same ofthe richest
values are bein taken.
Pioche-From sources that are regard
ed as reliable 1t has been lc rned that
the Nevada-Utah Mining Company. the
stock in which is controlled by Salt Lake
nar,,es. has financed a project to con-
struck a railroad into Phoebe from the
Clark railway. starting in all probability
from caliente or some nearby point. -.e
Utah has large interests In the
Bingham, Newhouse and at other points
and not the least of these are Its In
terests in old Phoebe.
According to the report which is being
accepted as true by large mine interests
at this place the Nevada Utah directors
have concluded to form a railway cor
poration. the majority OF which stock
will be held by themselves, which VIII
soon undertake the work. At Pio-he
there IL an q~uan'ty OF ore
that can be hauled to the s.neliers at
a large proft and it is the object of the
projectors to get 1t TO market.
There has been a rumor current that the
road might be carried on to Ely In or

very seriously at this time.

SHAPE

The temporary difficulty with the town
well has been overcome, says the Love
lock Tribune and now the exhaust of the
big Corless gas engine is heard every day
and the water Is again on top in the
mains. The gravel that was thrown in
at the top Of the cave has reached the
right spot and has cut off the flow of
.quicksand. The daily pumping does not
rifle the water and the pump draws no
more sand.
Ludwig Marker has been engaged "
the commissioners to see to the keeping
the tank full of water, pumping twice
a day and he has put a hydrant and
hose on from the drain pipe to the tank.

put a fire on the engine house in case
Ii should catch on fire. He will also fence
the lot and plant trees around it besides
many othed finishing touches in and
about the plant.
