ROOSEVELT AND
 HIGGINS WIN
By Cable to The Daiiy Gateway.

New York, Sept. l0-At the republi- can primaries in this city yesterday the organization headed by Congress- man Herbert Parsons, chairman of the New York county republican commit tee, and backed by President Roose- welt and Gov. Higgins, was successful in a majority of the districts and will continue to control the county organi- zation. This was a defeat for EX- Gov. OdeII, who will be busted from the charmanship of the republican state committee unless he can carry most of the upstate districts.
 Indications now point to the renomi- nation of Gov. Higgins, although OdeIl and Platt are both fighting him and trying to secure the nomination of Charles F.. Hughes, chief counsel of the Armstrong legislative committee in the life insurance investigation.

TOLEDO TO Go OUTSIDE
Calls in at Seward on Her Way to Lac
 touche With Lumber Cargo

Steamer Toledo arrived in Seward yesterday morning on her way to Seattle. She carried a cargo of lumber from Aurora for the Reynolds copper mine at Latouche. Capt. Shaw of the Tyonic will take the steamer out. iCapt. Blodgett was aboard but will return to Seldovia. The Toledo sailed this morning.
 The Toledo brought thirty passen- gers to Seward and reports that sev- eral miners from the Yentna with con siderable dust are waiting at Seldovia to go outside on the Portland.
 An effort is on foot among the local business men to induce Capt. Blodgett to place the Inlet steamer Tyonic on the run from Seward to the nearer ports of Prince William sound. Dr.. Daggett is working industriously on the project and obtained from Capt. Blodgett an agreement to try the ex- pertinent if he can be assured of a reasonable prospect of making ex- penses. He says he will keep the boat on the run all winter if he can break even, as she would otherwise be tied up at Seldovia. He says that Seward sells merchandise at lower figures than Valdez and ought to work up good trade in tho Sound ports. An agree ment to work up trade and ship on the Tyonic was signed by nearly every merchant in town.

PORTLAND SAILS WESTWARD
Brings Mail Rescued from Oregon and
 Says Freight Will Be Saved

Steamer Portland reached Seward last night at S:3O, having called at five small way ports on her way from Val dez. the trip consuming ifty-siX hours. She brought fifteen passengers and about thirty tons of local merchandise. She sailed for Seldovia and Kodiak shortly after midnight.
 Passengers on the Portland say that when the steamer left Valdez no re- port had been received from the Ore gon since the cutter Rush brought the news that she was out of the water at low tide. The impression seemed to be that the case of the steamer was hopeless but that most of her cargo could be saved, though nothing was being done about it. The Oregon has an enormous hole in her bottom and is filled with water at high tide.

DREDGING FOR GOLD IN
 LOW GRADE GRAVELS
Success of That TlethOd of Mining in California Proves Great Fossil
 bilities for Alaska.

Gold mining by the dredger method in the bars to which the system is adapted is an important factor in the gold production of the world today, and it is a method by which gravels of very low grade can be worked. The machine dredgers now employed in California produce enormous profits in gravel where miner working by hand could not make his board
 In all the gold districts of Alaska exist bars which the placer miners pass by after a brief test because they cannot make wages" In many of these the pay is more than a cent to the pan. In California ground which yields cent to twelve pans is worked with great profit by the dredgerS. The Guggenheims are buying whole creeks in the Klondike region to be worked by dredger. Of Alaska possi- bilities a mining writer says:
 Tn 1896 the first successful dredge was installed in California, at Oroville, and today there are thirty there. In New Zealand there are no less than 300 dredges in successful operation. Africa, India and a variety of climates and attitudes are witnessing their in- stallation. It is reported from Oroville that the average yield does not exceed r cents, and that this makes fortunes, showing that poorer ground could still be worked. If a cubic yard contains in round figures 200 pans, F cents to the yard would be only S5-lO00 of one cent per pan, or 200 pans to r cents a color smaller than any usually found in Alaska. Twelve pans to the cent yields mammoth fortunes in California, New Zealand and other countries. The ground being worked in California is ground worked out by the "Forty- miners, and afterwards worked by the Chinese. A general impression has been JUdG WuGu Slludludu SOV through mining a particular district, the white man with all his ingenuity and machinery had best keep out. But Chinese methods are not much less waSteful than those of first white miners.
 "Ground twelve pans to the cent pays handsomely to work by dredges in California. Doubtless it would have to be better ground in Alaska, the season being short and the gravel harder to handle, though the record of the Bear creek dredge in the Klondike surpassed for twenty-four hours the average California record. There is little ground ip Alaska to be found of so low a value. There are thousands of acres of gold bearing gravel in all parts of Alaska"

 Ownership.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 2l-Former Senator Jones of Arkansas, who was chairman of the democratic national committee in the Bryan campaigns, has written q letter to Bryan which was given out today, advising him to drop his project for government own ership of railroads and take stand for rigid enforcement of the present laws for regulation of railroad operation.

IRREGULARITIES SAID ID BE IN
 NAC0 ?. ].
Rumor Says Naco Postoffice Is Under the Eyes of
 Inspector.

A rumor, which could not be confirm ed last evening, has it that the Naco postoffice, supervised by F. A. Folsom. is under the surveillance of the postal officials and that an inspector has been on the ground endeavoring to get at the bottom of certain allegations of irregularity, said to have been made by one Miller of the border city.
 Miller is said to be a rancher near Naco. Some time ago he sent to his brothers in Europe two tickets for their passage to this country. - But one of the tickets was ever used and that by brother who is now employed at the Warren ranch. The other was returned to him at Naco. He never received the ticket, nor value therefor. A short time ago this ticket was found in a rubbish pile in the rear of the Naco office, so it is alleged, by boys who were playing there at the time of the discovery.
 Upon this discovery Miller is said to have preferred charges against Fol som at Washington. It is further al legged that other and more serious charges have been called to the at- tertion of the postoffice department. Postmaster Folsom could not be reach cd last night at Naco for confirmation or denial of the reports.

M. f. CASSIDY OF
 BISBEE AT DOUGLAS

M. E. Cassidy, of Bisbee, was in Douglas yesterday on a visit to a num- Der of his friends here. He spent the day with Jas. Wood, of the Calumet shelter. MT. Cassidy is accused of having something to do with steering the G. O. P. in this county. Two years ago he was elected as chairman of the republican central committee of the county, but recently he resigned this position and l. l.. McReynolds of Bis bee was elected to fill the vacancy.
 At the recent meeting of the repub- lican committee held in Bisbee it was decided that Mir. Cassidy should have the choosing of the Cochise county delegation to the republican territor. ial convention to be held in Bisbee on September 9th. lIr. Cassidy and two of his friends were put on committee to chose this delegation to the terri torial convention. This duty has not yet been performed, but no doubt the visit of Mir. Cassidy to Douglas had something to do with it's performance.
 It is not known just why Cassidy was chosen to name the Cochise coun- ty delegation, but the result of this action will give him an opportunity JO nelp hlS OIn ITlend SOl SJuTSeS III case that gentleman decides to accept the nomination for congress on the republican ticket.
 At the depot this morning when MT. Cassidy took the train for home he stated that his committee had not yet taken definite action in the matter of choosing delegates to the territorial convention, but that the duty would be performed sometime before September 9th.
 It is not known whether Cassidy is waiting to confer with Governor Kibbey in regard to what selections will be made or not, but there is suspecion that Kibbey is in some way connected with the delay.
