James A. Moore, of Seattle, who
recently secured title to the Nipper,
Blue Jay and Silver Bow claims, near
Kendall, has transferred them to the
South Kendall Mining company, a cor
poration recently organized for the
purpose of developing the property.
1t is said that the company has all
the capital needed for it's enterprise,
and that the ground will be opened
UP during the coming summer. The
group is a most promising one, and
ali Kendall men are we'll aware of the
fact. 1t has been in litigation for
some time, but now that this has been
cleared up, there is no obstacle in the
way of the company.
The discovery of the process Of tenn.

The last issue OF he Southern
Christian Advocate contains an
interesting article by the Rev.
J. w. Wolling, the well known
Methodist IN ssionary in Brazil,
giving "some personal recollec
tons of his twelve years SER
vice in the South Carolina Con

in Lancaster, of which he says:

Thinks Results Encouraging
for the Future Of Democ-
racy--Why Hearst was
Defeated.

on the results OF Tuesdays elec
tion William J. Bry an tonight
issued statement in part as
follows:
"The election Of 1906 indi-
Gates a trend in favor of the De-
mocatlc party. 1t proves that
the Democratic party is growing
stronger as the Republican poll
cies are developed. In New York
th= party has won signal vic
tory in spite of the tremendous
efforts put forth IN behalf of the
administration The Republicans
had all the money they wanted.
They had the support of all the
great corporations and at the
close they had whatever influence
the administration could lend.
The fact that the Democrats
elected every State officer eX
cepting the Governor shows that
in the Empire State the Repub-
lican party has been repudiated.
The defeat OF Mr.. Hearst, the
Democratic and independence
League candidate for Governor,
while great disappointment to
his friends, aud TO the party, is
explained by facts which rob
Mr.. Hughes victory OF both
glo:y and political significance.
Mr.. McCarren, whom Mr.. Hearst
denounced as a boss, threw his
influence to Hughes and cut
down Mr.. Hearst's vote in Brook
lyn. Mayor McClellen, the lie.
gality OF whose election Mr..
Hearst had denied, used his in
tluence for Hughes and cut down

Mr.. Jerome, the prosecuting at
t)rney of New York, who had
also been attacked by Mr.. Hearst,
supported the Republican ticket
and his influence was felt IL
Greater New York. Mr.. Croker.
during the last days Of the cam.
paign made an attack upon Mr..
Hearst which doubtless weakened
the Democratic candidate among
the Tammanyites. Mr.. Murphy,
tNe head of Tammany, while
supp orting the ticket, could not
put much enthusiasm into the
campaign owing to the personal
controversies which he had had
with Mr.. Hearst. 1t is evident,
therefore, that Mr.. Hughes owes
his victory not 10 Republican
votes, but to Democratic votes
brought to him by the very men
whom he and the Republican
leaders have been denouncjng
tor years.
1.-The President cannot find
much cause for rejoicing in the
New York elections. To have
his own State 90 Democratic
cannot be gratifying to him, and
to find that his personal attack
upon Mr.. Hearst had little in
lluence eXerted by McCarren,
Murphy and Croker, will not
gladden. his thanksgiving day.
The Presidents personal attack
on Mr.. Hearst was in bad taste
to say the least.
