OMAHA ELECTION IN FALL
Democrats Plan to Avert Storm Arts
ing from Legislature.
ANTICIPATE THE POPULAR WRATH
ROaseG Realise that IL Their Plans
tor Corporation s~ubserviency
Garry They Dare Not Face
.4s People Soon.

Drunk with the thought Of power. but not
30 drunk that they do not realize the dan
ger or b day of reckoning, democratic leg
islative- tipkers have determined to 30 adj
just the Omaha city charter as to post
pone the city election from spring until
fall in 1909.
So far as present arrangements go this
is settled on. Frank Ransom has been Sc
lected to draw up the Omaha charter bill
and Colonel Ransom's measure will. II
present plans are carried out. deftly juggle
things 30 that no democrat will have to
hazard his political future upon 80 perilous
a thing as facing the people at the polls
in the spring.
The fact is simply this: These hungry
pap seekers realize now that carrying out
their present legislative plans will place
laws on the statute books that would make
positively certain the overwhelming defeat
of any. democrat who dared run for office
In the spring. They figure that by fall the
fire OF public wrath might be cooled down
to such al extent that running for office
would be q less dangerous undertaking..
Besides they could not well eontrive an ex-
cuse for placing the Omaha city election
any further in the future than the fall OF
1903.
Thus the scalp Of Mayor Jim may not
come OH TOT several months more. Thus
the city councilmen whose record has made
voters impatient for the chance to get at
them may be spared the political axe a
little while longer. But what these men
have done in office TO merit public scorr
Is nothing to what they will have to face
by the time legislature adjourns, so The
wise ones now realize. It = conceded by
those on the inside that Nebraskn's legis.
lature OF 1903 will be the most wide-oper
proposition that has been in the state hous,
since the fusion rule of old.

district. devoting their energies prin-
cipally to driving tunnel which is
now in about 700 feet. The tunnel is
expected to tap the ledge at about
400 feet. The mill of the company,

SPLENDID EQUIPMENT INSTALLED FOR HANDLING
THE OUTPUT OF MINES-WILL HAVE INITIAL
CAPACITY OF 600 TONS DAILY-EXPECTED THAT
THIS WILL SOON BE CROWDED TO THE LIMIT

The Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company, operating at Goldfield, Ne
vada has for some time past had
large force at work grading founda
tions for the 100-stamp milling plant
which is to be erected to treat the
production of the numerous mines.
The mill will have a daily capacity of
600 tons. The ore will be reduced
by 100 fast-drop stamps of the Tread
well type, with narrow mortars. Each
stamp will weigh | $50 lbs, and have
capacity of 8 tons per stamp every
"a hours.
The crusher for the concrete work,
which will amount to 5000 cubic
yards, is now at work on the ground.
A great deal of grading is in solid
/ formation, requiring considerable
blasting. Besides the mill there will
be sampling plant, office, store
house, large ore bins and numerous
other structures.
The main track of the Tonopah-
Goldfeld railroad connects with the
Jumbo, Mohawk, Langoona, Red Top
and Com bination mines, belonging to
the Goldfield Consolidated company.
tracks will be extended to the jan
uary and February mines, which are
among the producers of the Con-
solidated. From the main track
some two miles of broad-gauge road
has been laid to the mill site. The
construction is substantial and every
thing is now in running order. The
rolling stock will consist principally
of especially constructed self-dump-
ing steel hopper cars which will run
over the ore bins from which the ore
will be dropped into a No. gyratory
crusher, having a capacity of 500
tons in every 6 hours of operation.
From the crusher the ore will go to
the sizing screen, where there will be

Immediately upon the death of our

PresidentRoosevelt was notified of
the presidents death by the members
OF Mr.. McKinley's cabinet, then
present in Buffalo, and advised to at
once take the oath of Office as presi-
dent. The reply of the then vice
president is significant:
Il shall take the oath at once in
accordance with your request, and
in this hour of deep and terrible ma
tional bereavement | wish to state
that II shall he my aim to continue
absolutely unbroken the policy of
President Mckinley for the peace
and prosperity and honor of our be-

THAT declaration quieted the
fears of the people that there might
be sudden change in the policy of
the administration. the uncertain ma
ture of which would have a tendecy
to upset, to a greater or less extent,
the financial and commercial in
terests of the country. In line with
his solemn declaration. the president
requested the members of McKinley's
cabinet to remain at the head of their

CUMBERLAND ELY AND NEVADA CONSOLIDATED EN-
TITLED TO FIRST CONFEDERATION GOOD OUT
LOOK FOR METAL-MARKET MANIPULATION CON
TINUES TO END OF FREEDOM FROM DRAGS

Firmness in the price of the red
metal for the close of the week was
attended by a slight recession in cop
per stoeks-a move that is character
istic of the markets, the cause of
which is very readily diseerned at
all times by those following these in
vestments closely. Such action in
the markets looks good TO the thor
oughly initiated and the wise ones
never fail during these opportunities
to single out their favorite issues and
pick them up at bargain prices.
4 firmer tone in the red metal mar
ket does not foretell immediate ac-
ton in sympathy of copper stocks
but 1t does forecast to a certainty
that prices of these issues will take
on advances in due time. Manipula-
ton is always to be considered as an
important factor. Strength in the
metal market is very pereeptible and
here is the healthiest and most re-
liable barometer to watch and from
which To make calculations.
The general outlook for copper
and copper stocks is now much bet
ter than IL has been In many months.
In the United Kingdom, as well as in
Germany, France, Russia and the
Orient, heavy orders for copper will
be forthcoming very shortly to carry
forward large electrical enterprises,
while in the United States extensive
building in lines in which large
quantities of the red metal are con-
sumed Is making itself felt. The sup
ply will soon he inadequate for the
demand and the trend is toward a
higher price.
Today, with copper selling at a fig-
ure at which very few large produ-
GERS can make substantial profit, such
properties as Nevada Consolidated
and Cumberland Ely are among first
rank with investors because of their
low cost of production. They are the
favorites now and are bound to be-
come even more firmly intrenehed In
that position when copper is selling
from three to four cents higher be-
cause of the handsome dividends they
will be enabled to pay. The New
York quotations on Ely issues YES
