THE COUNTRY is TO
BE CONGRATULATED.

The question of who is to be pres
ident for the next four years is to
be settled tomorrow. Each party ex-
aggerates the benefits which will re-
suit from its success; each Overes-
Inmates the harmful results in the
event their opponents are success
full
This is great country and it will
continue to grow and prosper in eth
er event. There has been a financial
depression for the past year and,
as is usual in such cases, the party
in power is held responsible. 1t is
always so. As a matter of fact, the
dominant party usually has little to
do with it.
In the tomorrow's result, the de-
preston of the defeated will be off
set by the citation of the victors.
Whoever iselected, will be given cred
it for all the good that comes, and
will be charged with all the harm
done. The party paper will approve OF
every act if it be done by their can
didate; the opposition will criticise
every act whether good or bad. We
occupy an advantageous ground. We,
as an Independent paper, can praise
the good and condemn the evil in
either organization.
Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Taft differ as
to policies; but not as to purposes.
Both are high toned gentlemen; both
are men of very fine character; both
are devoted Americans. The one that
is chosen, whether it be Mr.. Bryan
or Mr.. Taft, will, to the best Of his
ability, do all In his power for the
upbuilding of this great country.

have had to choose between two such
men. Usually one or the other Of the
candidates has been named. not be-
cause of his preeminent ability to
fill the position, but because of poit-
ical exigencies. We have hadFill-
more and Polk and Buchanan and
Hayes, good men; but not of the
highest caliber.
Mr.. Bryan has been long in the
public eye; he has grown steadily in
his grasp of great questions. Mr..
Taft has been a great Judge, a great
colonial governor and a successful
administrator of a great Office. Who
ever is chosen, the United States is
to be congratulated on. getting a
good President.

Both Claim Kentucky.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 2.-The Sun
day before election was an unusually
quiet one throughout the state TIE
leaders reiterated their claims, the
Bryan men declaring their candidate
would poll at least $4,000 more votes
than his opponent, while the Republi-
can managers claim the state. with
10000 as their bottom figure. With
fair weather a large vote is assured,
and impartial observers are not in
clined to make predictions other than
that the winners plurality will be
comparatively small, with chances
favOring Bryan.

WASHINGTON Indorses Taft.

Columbus, O., Nov. 2. = Arthur l.
vorys, Judge Taft's chief Of staff, has
received letter from DR.. Booker T.
Washington, in which he states his
confidence in Judge Taft's judgment
and ability. He refers to the candi.
dates connection with the Jeanes
fund for negro education, and says
his interest in the colored race is not
new nor spasmodic. He closes by
saying that he believes that the bulk
of the colored voters Of the country
have decided to cast their ballots for
Judge Taft.

Minnesota Democrats Confident.

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 1.-THE cam
paign in Minnesota will close tonight
when Governor ]. A. Johnson, Dem
ocrat, will make his closing address
in st. Paul and his Republican oppo-
nent, ]. F. Jacobson, will make his
final appeal to the voters at Mime
apolis. The gubernatorial race is
claimed by both parties, the Demo
Gratis claiming Johnson's reelection
by $4,000 plurality, while the Repub-

The ELECTION.

We are on TIE eve of the election
and both parties express supreme
confidence in the result. Chairman
Mack and Chairman Hitchcock claim
over 300 electoral votes for their
particular candidates. We believe
the popular vote is going to be closer
than it has been in any national cleo
ton for years. There is no question
but that Taft will get far fewer votes
than Roosevelt. Even the RepubE-
cans leaders concede this. On the,
other hand, Bryan will poll many
hundreds Of thousands more ballots
than Parker did in 1904. The Dem
ocratic party is more united than it
has been In any election since 1896.
when Bryan first appeared in the
field.
There is great unrest among the
laboring men. The hard times of the
last year and the forcing of the in
junction issue to the front have
caused a more active movement
among the .workingment than is US
ually apparent. There seems to be
little question that this agitation is
helping the Democratic leader.
Another factor that is cutting some
little figure is the religion Of Mr.. Taft.
He IS a Unitarian and in some of the
country districts this fact seems to
be influencing some votes against
him.
The latest forecasts from New
York seem to favor the Republicans.
The great New York papers all in
cline to the view that Taft will win
the State with a closer fight between
Hughes and Chandler for Governor.
The straw votes and observations
from all sources seem to indicate
that both Indiana and Ohio are very
close with the trend in favor of Bry-
an in Indiana and slightly in favor
of Taft in Ohio. Ohio has been so
long a safe Republican State, has
cast its electoral vote so steadily for
the Republican ticket In every nation
al election since the war, that it is
hard to conceive that it may 60 Dem
ocratic this year, particularly when
a favorite son is the Candidate.
While the popular vote will, we be-
lieve; be close, we think that the win
ner will have a substantial majority,
In the electoral college. The result
will be decided by a few States. If
Bryan captures New and Ohio he
wins easily. If Taft carries these
two States, he will have a big ma
jority in the electoral college.
In Kentucky the outlook is for
Democratic victory. Up to the last
month the State was conceded to the
Democratic ticket. But within the
last few weeks there has been feel
ing among the Republicans that they
had a chance. And some Of the
great papers have put the State in
the Democratic column. For our
selves, we believe that the Demo-
cratic party will carry Kentucky.

possible exception of Montana and
Nevada, we will carry the entire

A MINING CENTER.
Conclusion of the Account Of Mining
Regions Tributary to Nogales. The
Great Field in Sonora.

an article giving an outline des-
cription of the region tributary to
the line city in. Santa Cruz county. |
Therein it was stated that the
great field south of the Interna-
tional Boundary would be pre-
aen!ed in another article; but it is
matter of doubt whether single
article can include all that can be
written.
Immediately westward from No
gales about twenty miles, but more
than thirty by the wagon road, is
the noted Promontorio camp, which
is about six miles southwark from
Orc Blanco and Just over the line
In the past the Promontorio prop
critics have yielded richly and
through many years they poured
into Nogales for shipment steady
stream of high grade ores and con-
centrates. The mine is opened by
both shafts and tunnels and is we'll
equipped, having good hoist and
concentrating plant. The ores
are lead and silver.
Six miles southwest from Prom
ontorio are the famous Planchas de
Plata mines, the scene of one of the
richest and most widely known
discoveries of silver ever known in
the antigua days of Spanish occup-
alton, where in the beds of the
gulches there were found great
masses of native silver, and many
thousand pounds of small Jumps of
the metal, varying in size from
that OF ones fist to that of mans
head. The discovery occurred about
the year 1875, and in descriptive
work published in Barcelona in
1854 by Father Kino a Spanish
missionary who explored all this
region and aided in establishment
of the early missions, there was
presented an extended account OF
the discovery, in which it is stated
that one of the masses of silver
was SO large and heavy that it was
too great load for single pack
mule. With the primitive ap.
planes available it was impossible
to cut it into smaller chunks, so a
sort Of a sling was arranged that
was fastened to the pack saddles oi
two mules, travelling tandem with
the load between them. With the
aid of ropes and branch of con.
venient tree the load was hoistoC
from the ground, the mules lee
under, and the load eased dowr
into the sling. In that way thu
great nugget of silver was handled
in its long journey to the City o
Mexico, whence it reached th,
treasury of the King of Spain.
In his account of this wonderful
find Father Kino related that i
was reported that the hills sur
rounding were veritable network
of veins of rich silver ores, re
lation which has been borne out t.
great extent by the subsequen
history of the region, as from thos
very hills there has been recovered
great deal of that precious metal
and they are not worked out as We
by a great deal. Two or thre
companies have properties in there
and from the mill upon one O
them there has been shipped within
recent years q greal deal Of silve
