Roth parties have carried on hard

nv 6 w. Hager of Boyd county, are
confident of victory, while the repub-

In addition to the two dominant
PARTIES, three others have placed CUB
ernatorial tickets in the field. The So
cialist nominee is Claude Andrews of
Bellevue and the socialist.labor ticket
is headed by j. H. arnold of Louisville.
The prohibitionists have nominated
L. L. Picket of Jessamine county for
the governorship.
State Chairman Henry B. Haines
estimated the democratic majority at
26,OO0 All of the districts, he de-
clares, are safely democratic by from
700 to 1900, with the possible excep-
tion of the Fifth, which is admittedly
doubtful. and the Eleventh, which is
conceded to the republicans by $4,000.
NUlOuCl <AlDSll EOCOIlJ NIlcllI man VI
the republican state campaign COM
mittee declares that Wilson will be
elected by a majority of at least 5000,
and possibly 10000, giving as reasons
the popularity of President Roosevelt
and his policies in Kentucky, the
esteem in which the gubernatorial
candidate is held and the alleged gen.
eral dissatisfaction with the demo-
cratic party's management of the
states affairs.
In 1903 Governor Beckham, demo-
crat received a majority of 26,250 over
Morris B. Belknap, and in 1900 his
majority over John w. Yerkes was
5000. In 1899 w. S. Taylor, republi-
can, now a resident of Indiana, receiv-
ed majority on the face of the re-
turns of 1883 over William Goebel,
democrat. In the presidential election
OF 1904 Alton B. Parker's majority over
President Roosevelt was 1888.

Indications of Wealth.

The Lolo mining district comprises
that portion of the Clearwater country
between Peck and Kamiah. A great
deal of prospecting was done in the
early days when placer mining was at
its height, but the enormous wealth
taken out in that way detracted from
the district. Within 40 miles of the
center of this district there has been
a great deal of gold taken out. Some
place the amount as high as 500, ,000,-
600, but no true valuation can be OBJ
tanned. l....
1T has not been thoroughly pros
pected. No mines exist in tie Lolo
country but the surface indications are
great deal better than those in a
great number of districts where good
values have been taken out. Most of
the ore is carbonate of copper and
prospecting in depth is needed to de-
termine its extent. Sulphides occur in
great many instances and give
promise that well defined lodges will
be found carrying good pay shutes.
Most of the country rock is granite
and the vein matter is quartz.
