Gated Sanders election, but be-
cause of there being three tick

and the large number of names.
counting was slow and it was
not until Wednesday morning
before definite reports began to
come in, and it was not until
yesterday that Sanders ma
jority could be estimated, with
any degree of accuracy.
OF the $1,000 majority credit
ed to Sanders, 10000 is the share
given to New Orleans, while in
the country parishes Sanders
got only 5000 majority.
In the vote for Lieutenant. Gov
ernOr the; returns are not nearly
so full, but such as have been re-
7,ceived give Mr.. Lambremont
26.673 votes, against 24,O74 for
Bailey and l2,985 for Lawrason.
The second primary on this
Office will be between Lambre-

For Secretary of State, Mr..

The race for Auditor shows
Capdeviellle far in the lead.
Mr.. Capdevielle ran a surprising
ly good race in the country.
Which one between Frazeee and

ed by the later returns.
In the race for Attorney Gen
eral, Judge Guion has a long
lead, with 28,912, against 1902
for Coco and 1907 for Peasants.
Peasants ran best in the coun-

Deaths In Mines.

Christian Advocate: In the last seventeen years
2284O men have given up their lives in the mines
of this country and one-half of these deaths have
occurred in the last six years The number of fatal
accidents each year is double that of the year
1905 In 1906, 6,S61 men were killed or injured in
the Mines the killed being 2,061. The number OF
accidents caused directly or indirectly by mine eX-
plosions has been steadily increasing. A statement
made I'D by Joseph A. Holmes, chief of the techno-
logical branch of the Interior Department, gives the
foregoing facts in a bulletin issued December IL,
on Coal Mine Accidents; Their Causes and Pre-
ventions" He says the increase OF accidents caused
bv mine explosions is in part due to the lack OF
proper and enforceable mine regulations; III part
to want of information about the explosives and how
they can be used safely in the presence OF the gas
creases and many from which coal is taken
are either deeper or further from the entrance, where
good ventilation is difficult, and dangerous ac-
foundations of explosive gas are more frequent
In all European coal producing localities the output
of coal has increased greatly in the last ten years.
but the number of deaths per thousand miners has
greatly decreased. This is due to mining leg1Sla-
ton made possible by government action IN estaD-
fishing testing stations for the study OF problems
relative to safety in mining and the use OF eXpo-
sives. Where every other country is showing de-
regard to the number of deaths per thousand men
emploved and in regard to deaths per million tons
of coal mined A most awful illustration OF this
terrible situation has tortured the senslbll1t1es OF the
country during several weeks. Since the last SEN
tence was written two hundred have been
blown out of the world leaving broken-hearted pa
rents. wives widowed, and children dazed.

prohibition were to be made really and completely

that much will come from the proposed amendment

WILLIAM 3. ELLISON DEAD.

With too frequent recurrence Nugget
has been called upon TO record the pass
ing away of old time residents of Owy-
hee. One by one the men who we're
pioneers in these rugged and rock
ribbed hills are passing from among us.
Many have sought other homes from
which we hear reports Of their demise,
but others linger here until the end
comes. Some acquire competency,
seek other homes where they die sur
rounded with care and comfort. Some
die here poor and comparatively un-
cared for, dependent upon the care of a
younger generation which has grown up
around them. OF such was William B.
Ellison, who passed beyond the Great
Divide, Wednesday afternoon at the
county home at Silver City, February
5th, 1908.
Deceased. born at Poughkeepsie, N. Y,
in 1882, came west to California in 1852,
thence to Owyhee in 1865, where be fol-
lowed the occupation of milIman until
the decripitude of age compelled him
to quit. He was competent employee
and always found work to do in his
line. The venerable Robert Leonard
and the late John Scales and the late
John Wagner always had place for
them at their mills. Indeed, Mr.. Scales
always found home for him while be
remained here, and he was only taken
to the county home after that lamented
gentleman's demise.
Neither provident nor frugal, Uncle
Billy, as he was affectionately called
had ever lived up TO his means, and he
had recently been cared for and was
buried yesterday at the expense of the
public.

One of those cold days Of week ago,
Mr.. E. J. Burroughs family had brief
but exciting experience. The water
pipes froze, and they got Smoky Bob,
the wealthy plummer, to call and make
repairs. In doing SO, he disconnected
the pipes from the coil in the range
which supplied the family with hot
water and plugged the coil. When a
fire was built in the range and the coil
became heated, there was an explosion.
The range was seriously damaged, the
stove piple was blown down, and ashes
and SCOT held full sway in that resi-
dence for time. Happily no person
was injured
Mrs. M. A. Granville, who kept the
boarding house at the DeLamar mines
during nearly the entire period while
Captain j. w. Plummer was manager
there, and afterwards, through the mis-
fortune of having reprobate son, Will
liam Thomas, who was sentenced to the
penetentiary from Owyhee county upon
conviction OF murder, died and was
buried at Pearl, on ihe 3rd instant.
Mrs. Granville is said to have spent
nearly $4,000 in her efforts to save. her
son and became quite poor. S sue
ceeded in getting him liberated, but he
is again in the pen serving q sentence
for another crime. She had another
son and daughter by her former hus
band and also son by the later hus
band, Thomas Granville, we'll known il

years ago.

ANOTHER MENTIONED.

The latest mentioned candidate for
governor is Mayor Haines of Boise.
Outside of living in Boise the Tribune
knows nothing bad of Mayor Haines.
If he lived in Caldwell we would heart
and soul be with him. Even as it is,
we think that the Rep lbican conven-
tion might go long way further and do
worse. Mayor Haines is a successful
business man, an accomplished gentle
man, and conscientious officer. He is
now serving his first term as mayor of
Boise. Thus far he has done remark
ably we'll His administration has been
clean, able and forcefu. He is a good
man, Notwithstanding the fact that the
Boise Statesman is not with him. This,
however is to his credit. The active
support OF the Statesman would damn
any man. Here's health to thee, John
Haines.-Caldwell Tribune.
