Gives Majority of Total Vote For Republican Nominee For
 Both Terms.
TOWN RECORDS 23O BALLOTS
Precincts on Railroad Line Go Strongly For SwinefOrd and
 MeIIen, Democrats.

Murane carried Seward by a small majority over all other candidates combined. The smallness of the vote for Gale and Waskey was the surprise of the day as it was believed that the miner candidates would poll a heavy vote.
 The total vote of Seward was 239. Five of the Australian" ballots pre- pared by the judges were thrown out because improperly marked. Others were counted according to the appar- ent intent of the voter, although marked irregularly
 Out on the railroad line conditions were reversed, the Democratic nomi- nees getting nearly everything, This was partly due 70 the fact that the railroad influence was thrown for MeIlen and Swineford, being moved thereto by cable message from EX- Senator Turner in which the request was made that a boost be given to the Democratic nominees. It is probably true also that a large majority of the railroad laborers are Democrats.
 The vote for Gale and Waskey in the railroad camps was so trivial that it scarcely rose above the dignity of scattering, showing that few miners are now at work on the line. At this season they are mostly out in the mining districts.
 The total vote at Camp 46 was IS, at 4g it was 46 and at 54 it was 94

SENDS GOOD REPORT
 FROM UPPER CREEKS
T. K. Wilson Writes That Miners Are Taking Out Gold on Cache and
 Nugget Creeks.

The last mail from the Yentna dis trict brought letter from T. R. Will son to a friend in Seward. He says in part:
 q have some good news for you in regard to mining. Collins, Jones and myself have eight claims on Cache creek: we call them the Ohio group. An embryonic city has sprung up, which we call Ohio city. It has eight or ten tents. We have beautiful wild flowers in our gardens and all kinds of wild berries. Our party has string sluice boxes and cleans up an ounce to the man per day of eight hours. Our group prospects good all over. We also have claim each on small gulch we call Rambler, which shows up we'll. Dr. Herndon is working on Nugget creek, about three miles from here, and has good diggings. The strike on Willow creek and Poor Mans gulch is not as good as first reported hardly an ounce per day to the man."

ClNNABAR MINE ON
 THE KUSK0KWIM

One of the largest cinnabar mines in the world is located on the Kuskokwim river about 300 miles from its mouth. It was located several years ago by Duncan Mcdonald, formerly United States commissioner for the Kusko- kwim district. This mountain of ore was known of during the Russian oc- cupation, being about 30 miles distant from the old Russian redoubt of Kol- makofT. The inaccessibility of the property has hitherto prevented its exploitation, but recently it has been bonded by eastern capitalists for big figure. The Kuskokwim river cuts the deposit, which looms up like a mountain.
 The ore body proper is gray cinna- bar, low grade in character, but this is permeated with stringers of red cin- nabar ore carrying rich values, which makes the whole proposition average well in percentage of quicksilver.

Progress Will Be Faster After Track is Laid Through
 Tunnels to Mile 54.
MUCH GRADING ALREADY DONE
Construction Along Turnagain Arm Not Difficult Except 0CCaS-
 iOnaI Rock Cuts.

Rapid progress can be made on rail road construction after the track is eX- tended through the last tunnel at the end of mile 53. From 54 to 67 nearly all the heavy work is done and beyond that mile much of the most difficult rock cutting is finished as far as Rain bow creek on mile 94 If freezing weather comes late this fall and the additional force of laborers can be se- cured at once it may be possible to push the rail terminus around the head of Tmnagain Arm before winter stops work in the Placer valley. This is the sticking point.
 From the end of the long trestle which will lower the track on the re- ouired grade from the ridge of hills which bounds Placer valley on the west to the low, level land over which the Placer river and other mountain streams riot lawlessly the grade is yet to be made. For about two miles a irst-class road-bed can be made by throwing up the gravel along the route. This was done last fall but the effect of summer floods was not taken into account and nearly all the grade has been swept away. By means of dikes the rowing streams will be di- verted and confined and the danger to the road-bed from wild waters will be reduced to a minimum.
 Beyond this stretch of gravel land is aE expanse of several miles of swampy tundra, partly covered with water eX- cept after prolonged dry period. To

Mai. BaIIaine Returns From Trip Along Line and Discusses
 Prospects.
MINING INDUSTRY THRIVING
Crow Greek Hydraulic Property Will Yield Heavily and Others
 Make Good Showing.

Major John F. Ballaine returned Sun day from a weeks trip looking over the work on the railroad grade as far as Campbell point, lO5 miles north of Seward. He also spent day at the Crow creek mines, where the cleanup for this season is expected to reach $l0O, 900, and visited the mining dis tricts back of Sunrise. He returned over the Johnson creek trail, covering more than 200 miles in che week, much of the distance on foot.
 "The character of the railroad work could scarcely be better" said the Major this morning, but it has been excessively expensive chiefly on ac- count of being scattered for sixty miles beyond the head of the rails. The work under Mir. Welch in the future will be kept closer to the end of the track and be more concentrated. He is an able railroad builder, of wide experience. Most of his training has been in the west, where the problems of railroad construction are radically different from those of the more thick lv populated states. Without presum- inc to speak for Mr. Welch, but pure ly from my knowledge of him, l am safe in saying that he will follow the motto of J. J. Hill and all other sue cessful railroad builders in the west Keep the rails abreast of the work. If necessary, lay the rails first and build the roadbed afterward, but shove the rails to the front.
 Ut costs but one-twenticth as much to transport men and goods to the front on temporary track as it does to send them over specially built trails and wagon roads with great caravan of pack horses and freight wagons
 Major Ballaine was well pleased with the mineral developments he saw. The Kenai peninsula, he de- clares, promises to be one of the richest quartz mining districts in the world, and" he added, "there are placer beds now known in the Turn again Arm country sufficient to justify fifty hydraulic plants and dredges, each on as big a scale as the two on Crow creek" "

ASKS MORE AID FOR
 ALASKA AGRICULTURE
Prof. GeOrgeSOn'S Report Urges Continued Experiments With
 Galloway Cattle.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway

Washington. D. C., Aug. l3-The re- port of Prof. C. C. Georgeson, superin- tendent of Alaska agricultural eXperi- ment stations, was issued today. He recommends an appropriation for five stock experimental stations for the raising of Galloway and Highland cat tie, citing the favorable experience with those already placed at Kenai and Kodiak.
 Prof. Georgeson also asks for en- couragement through government ap- propriations for experiments with raising apples and other hardy fruits in the coast districts, and grain rais- ing in the Copper river and Susitna river valleys. He urges an appropria- tion for an experiment station between Fairbanks and Cinema, stating that the earth in that locality is warmed from beneath and that the cultivation of vegetables there has demonstrated that it has great agricultural possi- bilities.

CHARTING THE COAST
Government Survey Steamer Patter-
 son Engaged in Important Work

The government survey steamer Patterson arrived in Seward Saturday evening and sailed again yesterday af- ternoon. She has been to the west ward, engaged in the work of taking soundings and charting the coast line as far west as Chirigoff island. The coast of Southwestern Alaska has never been thoroughly charted and navigators have experienced much difficulty in safely navigating their vessels as result. The traffic to the westward has increased very rapidly in the past two years and will continue to grow as the great mineral and fish ing resources are developed. The government has recognized the need of reliable survey of this coast and the Patterson was detailed for the service.
 The need of this work was exempl- fled in the case of the barkentine Fer ris Thompson, which arrived in Seward last winter, lumber laden. For three days she beat back and forth outside of Resurrection bay in doubt and un- certainty as to the entrance of the harbor. With proper charts this de- lay would have been unnecessary.

BRINGS SPECIMEN OF
 ALMOST PURE GALENA

While prospecting for gold on creeks of the upper Susitna Duke Harris picked up big chunk of al- most pure galena. No assay of the specimen has been made, or at least the result has not been divulged, but the rock appears to carry a heavy percentage of lead with enough silver to be taken into account. Pure galena is S6 per cent lead.
 The locality where this galena dis covery was made is not stated by the finder but it is understood that he To- cated claims and expects to develop the property if well-defned ledge can be exposed. A sample of the ore is at the Bank of Seward.

 VOtO--Muran0 Second and Demo-
 cratic Candidates in Rear,
DeIecn-e eLection retnrns so iar as receiyed:
Short Term

The nominees ot the miners aSsocia- lions of Panama and Nome, Thomas Gale of Fairbanks for the long term and Frank Waskey of Nome for the short term. were elected as delegates 10 congress in the first delegate elec- lion in the territory, held last Tuesday.
 Full returns are not yet in but their mafortties are very large Figures have been received from all towns on telegraph and cable lines and few large place, are yet to be heaId from. The remote camps and ports will send in returns slowly but cannot affect the result. nor is it likely that they vii, decrease the mafortttes of the winning candidates.
 The long lead of Gale and WasNey was chiefly obtained in the Nome and Panama districts although they had pmraIities outside. The Panama gave them more than 90 per cent of its vote, the city of Fairbanks going as strongly for them as the mining camps proper, Nurane, Republican, ran close to them in Nome city, but in the other pre- cincts of Seward peninsula his vote was small. Swineford and Mellen, Demo crats, were almost overlooked in the big northern districts.

Everything Located

Charles Benjamin, Thomas Moore and Elmer Carlson arrived at mile I3 last week from the upper Kahiltna and told the same story as other men re- garding the Herndon and Morris claims. They came away because all the creeks of the upper Kahiltna are plastered with locations by power of attorney and they could find no live ground. Thep were intending to get new outfits and go to another locality, being we'll satisfied of the richness of the whole region.
 Complaint is general by men coming out from the Yentna district that the district wherever good pay has been found has been staked for miles on powers of attorney by men who are doing nothing but gobble all the ground they can cover. Many of these claims are believed to be rich. One man has staked and recorded POO claims for himself and others.

 Insolvency.

San Francisco, Aug, l3-The local Russian consul, Count Kosakevisch, is- sued letter today in which he states that John Rosene's Northeast Siber- ian Company is insolvent. He says the company has been exceeding it's authority in utilizing the concessions granted by the Russian government by offering lays to proSpectors in the Tchukotsh district. KoSakevitch warns all interested persons that their claims under the Northeast Siberian Company will not be recognized by the Russian government.
