CAMPAIGN ON
 IN EARNEST

New York. Oct. 1-'fhe first day
 of October always marks the begin
 ming of the hottest period of presi-
 dential campaign and this year is no exception. Many prominent men i'll both parties whose services as speak CTS have not heretofore been avail able reported for duty today The speakers bureaus of both parties have completed the itineraries of most of the orators and every sEeli- binder will be urged to push the cam pai&n with all vigor during October
 \ comparison of thc claims oi both parties shows that an even dozen states are included in the doubtful column by the forecasters at the These commonWealths are New York. New Jersey, Indiana, Minnesota, Col orado, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska. West Virginia, Utah, South Dakota. and Wisconsin. Some of these states are claimed as certainly Republican by the leaders in that party. while others are just as certainly placed In the Democratic column by the sup porters of Bryan. The principal bat ties of the campaign will be fought in these twelve states. with New York and Indiana the most important scenes of contention
 The twelve states which are plac- ed by one party or the other in the doubtful column have a total ecc- .torai vote of 12S. In other states which are considered as reasonably certain to give decisive maiorities the Republicans can depend upon 19l electorial votes and the Democrats 161 If the Republicans can gain 46 electoral votes from the doubtful territory. according to this showing, MT Taft will be the next president of the United States. On the other doubtful territory to the extent of winning S1 electorial votes, Mr. Bryan will be the next occupant of the White House.
 If the Republicans cm carry New York and Indiana. Taft aud sherman will almost certainly. have a safe margin in the electorial college. l'n less the unexpected happens and some of the states normally Republican should go for Bryan the Democrats will have to secure 21 eleetorial votes from the other doubtful states, in ad dition to carrying New York and ln diana, in order to elect Bryan and Kern. California is placed in the doubtful column hy the Democrats while Wisconsin and New ]ersey. considered doubtful by Democratic prophets, are listed as certainly Re publican by the Taft men. Aamis- sion of these claims would change bat slightly the results IS here sjVeo, and the great fight for supremacy will be in the states mentioned

CIRCUS DAY COMING
Norris & Rowe's Big Shows Will
Exhibit in Dallas Next
Wednesday.

Speaking of the Norris & Rowe
show, the San Francisco Examiner Of
January 18th said: "Many hundreds
OF people were turned away from the
Auditorium yesterday at the opening
OF the Greater Norris and Rowe circus,
being unable to secure admittance to
the big building. Those who were
fortunate enough to be admitted, and
there were thousands Of them, saw
one of the best circus performances
ever given in this city and under the
most favorable conditions. Among
the 200 circus celebrities are per-
formers who have appeared in all Of
the big circuses in this country and
Europe, prominent among them being
the Peerless Potters, aerialists, whose
daring exploits in the air is thrilling
in the extreme the Herzog high school
horses came direct from a successful
engagement at the Hipprodrome, New
York city, to Norris and Rowe. 1t is
the best equine act ever seen here.
The Orton family. recently returned
from a successful engagement IN
Europe, scored hit; the Suigomoto
family are Japanese performers, par
excellent; the Honey Mora troupe, the
Mcdonald family, the Marvellous
CasteIlos are all Of European reputa-
tion and present graceful and difficult
acts.
But why try to enumerate all Of
the good things that Norris and Rowe
are presenting? One must see it to
have any realization Of the immensity
and magnitude of the show. Norris
and Rowe are to be watched by the
other big circus men Of this country
for they are fast forging to the front.
The programme that they are present.
ing is first-class in every particular.
1t is a big show, too. The Norris and
Rowe circus will exhibit in Dallas,
Wednesday afternoon and night, May
9th, and will present the same pro-
gram in every respect that they had
in San Francisco. A big street parade
will be given at 10 o'clock on the
morning of the exhibition.

KELLER COUNTRY is
COMING INTO PROMINENCE

A mining field that has every APP
pearance of becoming of much i'm
portance is developing near Keller,
says the Inyo Register. J.. NJ. Miller
returned this week after spending !
week on the ground, and kindly fur
nishes ONE interesting particulars
Of the situation,
The claims are situated about four
and a half miles from the Darwin
road. covering the first low range OF
hills on the western border of the
valley at that point. and east of the
south end Of Owens lake. The known
m~ineralized belt extends for a dis
tance of between two and three miles,
a mile, nor or less, in width. 1t
is easy of access, a wagon being easily
driven to much of the ground,
Shafer, Thomson & Dickman, now
owners of sixteen OF the claims, be
gan work, giving attention to a diff
ferent character of rock. After sink
ing a twenty-five-foot shaft ON the
Woodpecker claim they shipped fif-
teen tons of ore to Goldfield for work
ing, the milling returns being $50
gold and Sc silver per ton. They
had thrown aside a worthless hema-
tite ore locally termed black iaspe :,
known by some as a variety of
ptanks. Experimental panning, how
ever, showed that it contained gold,
and some of it carries $40 gold. The
hematite lies in a streak through the
four-foot ledge of somewhat decom-
posed quartz.
The general country rock is por-
Iphyritic lime, with reefs of up
turned slate appearing here and
there. A lime and slate contact in -
field known to be mineralized is ac-
cepted as an indication of a silicious
deposit. Mr.. Miller concluded to dig
where a slaty point outcropped, but
where no other indication of ledge
matter appeared. He dug off but
eight inches of gravel before he found
a vein of decomposed quartz. The
general trend of the ore channels i.
three degrees from a north and sout1
line, though there are cross lodges.
The groupings are almost invari-
ably ~decomposed quartz. the larger
lodges carrying about SIS values
Word from another source says thai
strings of gold have been gotten by

ably widened as sinking was done OF
them. Some high assays are report
ed, one running to $400.

He went from seven plunks to ten,

But got a raise again; at ten

And now the farm is up for sale:
it surely is a pity,
The farmer looks in every mail for
