The location of large part of the holdings of the Tom Reed mine has been the subject of discussion in King man this week. It is understood that legal fight is to be made to quiet the title to the property and that long drawn out legal battle may be had. Stories conflict as to just what was To- cated, some contending that all the property of the Tom Reed was covered by the new location, but others say only the outside mines were covered. The contention is that no work was done on the mines the past two years, leaving them open for location.

TreadwelI Mine to Make Exhibit a
 1909 Exposition.

The famous Treadwell mines of
 Alaska will have one of the most val.
 uable exhibits at the Alaska Yukon
 Pacific Exposition in Seattle in 1909 that was ever shown to the public. It
 will consist of bricks and bars of real gold, tons of the rich gold quartz, and many sacks of the richest concentrates, the total of all being close to half a million dollars. The company will likewise have as part of it's exhibit, small milling plant at which gold ore from the Treadwell will be treated the same as at the great works on Douglas Island. The Treadwell is one of the oldest mines in Alaska, having been in almost continuous operation for 25 years and and it has produced on an average of 2,OOO,0O0$ in gold year, half of which is profit. The ore in the Treadwell runs very low in value not averaging over two dollars a ton and the mine annually takes out million tons of ore. No where in the world is the economy of mining practiced so extensively. The ore is taken out of great pits called Glory Holes and thousand tons are blown out at once. The ore in falling to the bottom of the pit breaks into small pieces saving mechanical operation. From the pits it is handled in great bins all by gray ty until it reaches the stamp mills. The cost of mining, milling and opera tion costs less than a dollar ton, go- ing some years to as low as S7 cents d ton. The Treadwell takes its name from its discoverer, James Treadwell. 1t is now owned by the English Roths- childs.

Peculiart es of the National Eleo lions.

Last Tuesday the American people signified their choice of a chief execu tive of the Nation-William Howard Taft. The republicans carried ever, northern state, with exception of Col. orado, Nebraska, Montana and Nevada by large majorities, although these majorities have all been reduced from that given Roosevelt four years ago. Missouri elected republican govern : or for the first time in thirty five years, while Michigan, Minnesota, Indiana, Colorado, Ohio, Nebraska, and Rhode Island elected democratic governors. The democrats will start the new year by controlling the execu- tive destinies of twenty-four states while the republicans rule over but twenty-two. In Ohio the republicans had 75,OO0 majority for president, while the democrats elected their gov ernor by apparently 25,OOO majority. Taft carried Indiana by 15,0O0 votes, while Marshall, democrat, carried the state by 10000. Minnesota reelected Johnson, dem., by 30,00O majority, but the state went to Taft by 60,OOO The state legislature of Indiana is demo- cratic for the first time in quarter of a century and will elect democratic senator to succeed Senator Hemenway Michigan elects democratic governor for the first time in the memory of the new generation. Taft carried greater New York by 5000, while Chanler. dem., carried the city by more than 6O,OOO, showing the policy of Tammany in throwing the National for the state ticket. The Independence party, owned, controlled and operated by William Randolph Hearst, showed practically no strength. Clarence Shearn, Hearst's lawyer, who was run. ming for governor of New York, boiled the usual scattering vote that an in- dependent candidate receives in that state at a general election.

FOR COLLECTION
Art Treasures Left by the Late
Emanuel Walter Will Be
Properly Housed
Edgar Walter, Nephew of Tes-
tator, Will Direct DISPOSE
ton of Legacy

Although the Emanuel Walter COL
lection OF famous paintings, rare ivo-
ries and bric-a-brac has been pro-
nounced the property of the San Fran
cisco Institute of Art, its disposition
is still a matter of uncertainty, and
will probably remain so until the re-
turn OF Edgar Walters, nephew of the
testator and administrator of that part
of the estate, from Lake Tahoe, where
he is at present. The greater part of
the iyories is in the possession of the
family in the Walters residence on
Clay street, but the paintings, among
which are many representative German
artists, are now at the custom house
in this city.
Some discussion has been held con-
corning the proper housing and main
tenance of this fine collection, but 1t
is probable that the interest from the
$4,000 fund which goes with the col
lection viii be used for the building of
an additional room TO the gallery on
California street, where the collection
may be hung to the best advantage,
and where additions may be made from
time to time as the judgment of the
administrator and the institute trus-
tees may elect.
Captain Robert Howe Fletcher of the
institute is emphatic in declaring that
there was never any defined contest be-
tween the institute and the park mu-
scum for the possession of the IA
nous collection. The executors of the
Walters will. finding themselves in
perplexity regarding which of the two
institutions was meant, requested the
university regents to forward whatever
evidence concerning the matter they
might have, and the same request was
made to the trustees of the park mu-
scum. The evidence on both sides was
placed before the New York legal lights
and proved clearly that the bequest
had been intended for the Art Institute
alone BY this ruling the collection
passes into the hands of the Art Insti-
tHte to form a permanent exhibition,
which will probably prove one of the
finest in the west

geles and in the north her work has
received attention. Miss King has
travelled extensively, both in the United
States and abroad.
The Charles King family is one of
the old and wealthy families on this
side of the bay. The home place in
Sixth avenue is widely known for its
hospitality. Mr.. Tanner is a business
man OF San Francisco. Although the
engagement has been of some standing
it came as a surprise to friends. No
definite plans have been made for the
