YORK. NEBRASKA AND MON
TANA-HAS HOPES OF MARY
LAND AND KENTUCKY.

New York, Oct. 22-On the eve
o. his last campaign visit to Chicago,
where he will remain two days.
Chairman Hitchcock of the Republic
can national committee expressed
himself more confident than at any
time since he assumed the manage
ment of the Republican campaign.
He dec AIRED that New York was
absolutely safe for the national and
state tickets and added that he was
confident that California. Oregon
and Washington would give large
Republican majorities. He was sat
isfied also, he said. with conditions in
Colorado. Nebraska and Kansas and
he thought Montana was safely Re-
publican, though he did not look for
any overwhelming plurality in that
state
AS to Missouri. Kentucky and
Maryland, he regarded the last state
as surely Republican and in the
other two he thought there was a
fighting chance.
Vice Presidential Candidate James
$. Sherman made hurried call at
national headquarters here today. He
said the poll of the state, which
would be made public the last Of this
week. would show that a sweeping
Republican victory in New York
could not be stopped.

A Tammany leader in the Bronx
admitted that he bad received the
tip from headquarters In such way
that 1t could not be discounted or ig-
nOred.
According to this man the Demo-
Gratis are not shouting the proposed
deal abroad In the streets, but every
known worker will receive instruc-
tions before election and will be
given to understand that the deal Ia
made because the national Democrat
ic ticket has not a chance to carry
the state, but that by trades and
combinations Chanler can be elected.
1t is expected to influence the Re-

The teacher marshaled her pupils

to head or a p'owed field nearby, and
the column started on q run, Miss
Barber bringing up the rear to pre-

fell thick. but the teacher held the
children close together and every en-

NAVAL PRISON
ON THE COAST
NEED OF ONE VERY APPARENT
AS NAVAL PRISONERS HAVE TO
BE TRANSPORTED LONG DIS
TANCE TO EASTERN PRISONS.

San Francisco, Oct. 22.-The pos
sibility Of the establishment of a
United States naval prison on the
Pacific coast, together with general
reforms in the naval prisons Of the
country, is indicated by the arrival
Of Capt. e. H. Campbell, judge ad-
vocate of the navy, who visited the
Alcatraz island army prison here.
For more than a month Capt. Camp
bell has been on a tour of the leading
state prisons of the country, gather
Ing data for the Improvement of the
government prisons. The naval pris-
ons throughout the United States are
In poor condition, and sweeping re-
forms in their administration will be
recommended.
The recommendations will be bas-
ed on observations of Capt. Camp
bell.
The naval officer visited San Quen-
tin state prison yesterday and will
go to Folsom to inspect the state
prison at that place tomorrow.
The need of naval prison on the
Pacific coast has long been recog-
nized by navy officers. Men who
have been sentenced to imprison
ment for crimes committed in the
Philippines are brought long dis
tances to the Eastern prisons. This
would be obviated by naval prison
either at Hawaii or on the Pacifi'
coast.

OHIO LABOR
Vote FOR TAFT
SHOPMEN SHOW THEIR PREFER.
ENCE-OHIO REPUBLICANS LAY
ASIDE QUARRELS TO VOTE FOR
TAFT,

New York, Oct 22.-Former Gov.
Myron I. Herrick of Ohio came to
Republican headquarters yesterday
and made the following statement:
The best evidence that Ohio will
remain true to the Republican faith
is found in the attitude of the labor
cement of that state. A few days
ago two polls We're taken in the rail
road shops at Cleveland, which re-
suited as follows: Taft, 1744; Bry-
an, SO; doubtful, 491.
THE Republicans of Ohio have
concluded to put aside their local
quarrels and vote for Taft and Sher-
man. The labor people particularly
feel that in voting for Taft they are
voting to continue McKinley's ideas,
which brought them out Of the
depths.
Senator Foraker, while not &C
lively engaged in the campaign, Is
too patriotic to want to see Bryan
elected The strong tide for Taft set
in from the day he began speaking
in Ohio. Another thing which has
strengthened the faith of the Repub-
licans in Ohio was the appearance
there OF Gov. Hughes"
Chairman Hitchcock left for Chi
cagO today.

Between the social gardens of Sac

fed upon. When Esther met her she
was as gay with one cavalier as with
another, until Alfred appeared. He
was never her escort; yet if he came
to party or theater she claimed him at
once. Esther became convinced that
the barrier that had once separated
herself from Alfred now existed be-
tween him and Amabel; that for ANA
bells sake he insisted on her perfect
freedom in the eyes of society. This
conviction did not bring tranquility;
and Esther asked herself bitterly, why,
In all the throng that followed her.
there was not some brave and honest

MINING NEWS FROM ALL DISTRICTS
LINCOLN COUNTY

The main shaft on the Philadelphia
Searchlight has reached a depth Of $50
feet. The last 20 feet of the tunnel was
sunk in one months time. 1t is stated
on pretty good authority that the new
oil smelter for the Santa Barbara com
pany win be Of $50 tons capacity in
stead of 100 as originally reported. An
other statement is that the plant will
be located at a point about one-half
mile southeast from Nelson, near the
junction of the January and Eldorado
draws. Mr.. Loder and Mr.. Taylor have
been on the ground some time with a
view of completing the above arrange
ments. A very important strike is re-
ported on the 5OO-foot level Of the Frac'
ton claim at S~earchlight. This streak
ranges from 6 inches to Is inches in
width and is said to have a value OF
nearly SIS a pound.

The strike made by +. 8. Chafey on
the Dun Glen mine, in Sierra district,
only twenty miles southwest Of Winnie
mueca and only a few miles from the
railroad, is proving to be one of the
richest strikes made in the state. With
as many miners as can be conveniently
worked in the property the tunnel Is
being rapidly pushed into the mountain
of ore. Since Mr.. Chafey acquired the
claims the bore has followed the ledge
or pay shoot for seventy-two feet. In
going this distance the ledge continues
to show a width of Eve feet and all the
ore in this width is being shipped to
the smelter. Already three ears have
been shipped from Mill City and the
returns from these lots were beyond Mr.
Chafey's expectations. The shipments
are running over 5000 to the ton.
