Result in Wyoming.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Cheyenne Wednesday night says: Taft
and Mondell carried Wyoming, but by
reduced majorities. The Democratic
vote was the heaviest polled in the
state In many years, and came as
surprise to Democrats as well as Re-
publicans. Full returns will not be in
for at least two days, but basing an
estimate upon what has already been
learned, Taft carried Wyoming by
from 5000 to $500, and Mondell, Re-
publican candidate for Congress, was
reelected over White, Democratic, by
n plurality of not less than 1000. The
Democrats were successful in electing
a number Of state senators and repre-
sentatives. and the party will probably
have not less than 20 on joint ballot,
which is Is more than they have had
for many years.

Better Sanitary Laws Needed.

Denver.-"Over $50 people are walk
ing the streets of Denver today who
must die of typhoid fever before the
third day of next November" was the
startling statement made by Wilbur F.
Cannon state pure food commissioner.
''And figuring on statistics at hand
there are 900 people in the state of
Colorado who might be saved from
death by proper sanitary laws" said
Mr.. Cannon. I'VE have had $50 cases
of typhoid fever reported during the
year. 1t can be safely estimated that
this number is only one-fifth of the to-
tai number of cases, for four-fifths are
never reported. Another remarkable
feature of this absolute knowledge of
fatalities to come is the scientifically
proven fact that where one death by
typhoid is prevented by the proper
sanitary laws, two other deaths by con-
tagious diseases are also prevented
That is why I say there are 900 peo-
pie in Colorado today who will die be-
cause the proper sanitary laws can
not be enacted and enforced in time to
save them. We are going to make an
effort to secure better sanitary legis-
lation in the next General Assembly.
but 1t can't be enacted soon enough to
prevent 200 deaths"

Plans Of Chairman Mack.

New York, Nov. 4.-Declaring that
the Democratic party is more united to-
day than it has been in many years,
that Mr.. Bryan was defeated by what
he claims was Misrepresentation, to
the effect that his election would hurt
business interests, Chairman Mack of
the Democratic national committee,
this afternoon issued statement In
which he announced extensive plans to
advance the party's interests during
the next four years.
In his statement Chairman Mack says:
"In his own state, Nebraska, where
he is best known, Mr.. Bryan was VIC
torious. While 1t is true that he met
with defeat In the nation, he did so as
the candidate of his party, supported
by the 100000 or 100000 OF his
countrymen who voted for him and his
principles he SO splendidly espoused
and with the respect and admiration of
them"

OCTOBER BANNER MONTH OF
THE YEAR IN BULLION VALUE
AND QUALIFY. or ORE. G
RICH MINERAL SHIPPED
BIG COMPANIES DECLARE HEAVY
DIVIDENDS AND LEssEEs
SHOW LARkE PROFITS.

Cripple Creek-October goes on
month of the present year, as not only
does the output of gold ore from the
Cripple Creek district show a greater
valuation than that of any thirty-one
days of 1908, but dividends of mining
companies go away up into the thou
sands.
With storms handicapping ore haul
ers during three days of October, the
months outplt is 63,720 tons, with to-
tai valuation of $1,467, ,4S4 and exceed
ing the bullion value of September by
$71 ,404.
During October numerous lessees
operated at profit and close corpor-
ations, especially the Strong company,
it is understood, added considerably
to their treasury, but with these fig
ures not obtainable the October divi-
dends of record amount to $2O2,50O,
and are as follows: Portland COM
pany, 100000; Vindicator, $4,000;
Elkton, $4,000.
The figures below show the grades
of ore handled during the month and
are considered by mining men as more
significant than those given out in
years, as they evidence the fact that
very rich mineral is going from the
district and also that ore of the low
est grades is treated at home at
profit.
The entire tonnage of high and me-
dunn grade ore handled at the smelt-
ers during the month averaged $62,
while the Ironclad mill is getting a
good extraction and making money on
the treatment of minerals of the value
of $1.S0 a ton. The Monmouth mill,
which is the old Copper Mountain
plant, with improved machinery, also
added to the output this month and
handled 1900 tons of SO ore. This
mill, it is understood, will be oper-
ated steadily in the treatment of low
grade. The output follows:
