 It is reported that he has said that he did not care to use an automobile SO long as there were good horses 10 be had.

VISIT TO FAIRBANKS
PRINCE OF WALES MAKES 1
 FRIENDLY CALL.
The Prince Was Received in Drawing Room of Mansion and Tnterna- tionni Good VIII Was
 Exchanged.

Quebec, Que, July 26.-The Prince of Wales had a comparatively quiet Sun- day after the round of ceremonies of the past few days. He attended church at the English Cathedral, driving to the cathedral in an open carriage, and raising his silk hat as the crowds sa- luted him along the way. A royal pew at the church had been elaborately decorated, but the Prince preferred to occupy a less ornate position at the central aisle.
 On the Plains of Abraham. an im- pressive solemn mass was celebrated in the open air by the Catholic Arch bishop of Quebec, with the Duke of Norfolk, and large assemblage pres ent.
 Earl Grey's dinner to the colonial representative last night brought two speeches from the Prince, one very happy and rather facetious.
 Then the Prince handed Earl Grey a check for 10000 pounds to be used in maintaining the Plains of Abraham as a permanent memorial, the title deeds the day.
 Premier Laurler said in the course of his speech:
 Tt Is a source of great satisfaction to have our powerful neighbor. the United States. represented at this na- tional commemoration, and represent ed by no less person than their Vice President. I wish to thank Mir. Fair banks for the kind words he has spok- en and we especially treasure his dec laration that nothing on earth can change the cordial relations that exist today between his country and Eng land. ,
 Tn no part of the world has there been greater rejoicing at the entente cordial now happily existing between France and England. than here. where that entente cordial has existed for years and Is growing steadily stronger.
 We hope that this state of things will continue between our old mother country, France and our powerful neighbo the United States"
 Prior to the colonial dinner. the Prince drove to Spencerwood and made a call on vIce-President Fairbanks. The Vice President. attended by Gen eral Murray and Major T. Bentley Mott, received the Prince in the drawing room of the mansion. Twenty minutes were spent in an agreeable exchange of international good will.

ELECTIONS IN CUBA
FOUR CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR OF
 HAVANA.
The Present Election Is Solely for Mun- icspaI and Provincial OfaeiaHs But 1t is of Special Inspor-
 annCN.


 Havana, Cuba, July 26.-Cuba's hrst step along the path which Is expected to lead to the re-establishment next winter of the republic destroyed in the revolution of August 1906. will be taken on August 1. On that date will be held what has been called the 'nrst real election the island has ever had"
 For months past Colonel Crowder, the American head of the Department of State and Justice has been engaged in working out the general plan and an infnitude of details so as to guard as far as human intelligence can against the possibility of fraud.
 The ballots are of the Australian type. with the party emblems and cir- cles for marking the voters mark at the head of each column.
 The present election is solely for municipal and provincial officials but 1t Is especially important because 1t will test the complex electoral ma ity of the cubans to hold fair, square and absolutely orderly election and abide loyalty by the results. While 1t is inevitable that there should be par tisan clashes here. and there at the polls there does not appear to be the remotest reasons to fear any great dis- turbanee.
 In every municipality nominations have been made by the conservatives and by either or both of the rival fac tions of the liberals led respectiely by General Jose Miguel Gomez and pr. Al fredo Zayas. Tn Havana there are nc less than four candidates for mayoI in the field. Present indications point to the very general success of the con. servatives. as the result of the Ire conciliable feud between the liberal factions.
 Owing to the influence of local is- sues. it is doubtful whether an anaIysia of the vote cast will be of much value | in attempting to make forecast of | the Presidential election to be held in | December The only two candidates | now in the field are Jose Miguel Gomez and Alfredo Zayas. between whom there seems to be not the remotest chances of reconciliation. Divided it seems impossible that either should have a chance of victory in the face of A united conservative opposition. In the meantime the conservatives have determined not to hold their Presiden- tial nomination convention until after the August election. It is becoming more and more probable that their candidate will be General Mario Men ocal. Should the conservatives march to victory in December. Cuba will pre- sent the extraordinary spectacle of the resumption of power by the political element that went down before the revolution of August. with "Pino' Guerre the military chief Of the revo- luton, as General Issimo of the reRu. lar army of the republic.

KEANE WONDER MINE
CONTINUES TO IMPROVE

Recently on the big estate of the
Keane Wonder, prospecting has been
started ON several new lodges, which
heretofore have not been explored and
the result has surprised the manage
ment by the uniform good values un-
covered.
When it is remembered that the
Keane Wonder estate comprises 20
claims, on nearly every one of which
milling material has been found, the
enormous possibilities of future profits
from its operation will be better under
stood.
At present, where the ore is being
taken out for the mill, the values are
gradually increasing, with the quantity
practically unlimited. Two 12-hour
shifts are working the mill.
The work of developing more water.
the one great drawback in the opera
ton of the plant, is progressing with
all the diligence possible. Shonld they
fail to discover a sufficient supply near
the workings, it is understood the Cow
creek stream, which is practically In
limited. will be taken over. This water
is only 8 miles distant and can be piped
to the mill by gravity.

EXCELLENT sHoWINGS IN THE
CACTUS RANGE COUNTRY

Harry Morris, assistant secretary OF
the Rawhide Mining and st. Ives Leas-
ing companies, returned this week from
a trip to the Cactus range, where, with
Alban Bunch of the Merger Mines com
pany, and A. Boyer, he is interested in
a group of claims. Mr.. Morris is very
pleased with the showing on their prop
erty and reports that they have a five
foot quartz ledge which pans free gold,
which will assay as high as $50 on the
surface. 1t is the intention to pros
pect the surface of the claims thor
oughlv for the most favorable location
to sink, and Mr.. Morris reports that
they expect to ommenee sinking a 100
foot shaft within a very short time.
Mr.. Morris is impressed with the
possibilities of the Cactus country,
which he says has to a great extent
been neglected, and he believes that
with proper development some good
mines will be opened up in that district.
Beyond the work which is being done
by the Cactus Range Gold Mining com
pany at Thompson's camp, which is
making an excellent showing, very little
mining has been done in the range.

SILVER DUE TO RISE,
SAYS NEW YORK PAPER

Some of the recent prices OF silver
have been the lowest for five years or
since the low levels reached in 1908.
Dealers of silver complain of a great
falling off in demand, both at home and
abroad, but declare that despite the
low quotations there is little of the
metal changing hands and that they ex-
pect a speedy recovery. India and
China, the largest consumers OF SILVER,
have not been in the market for months
and the eurtailment of sales to these
countries is largely responsible for the
drop in the metal. Production Of SILVER
in the United States for the first half
wear was little more than one-haif OF
the turnout of the corresponding period
of last wear. Nevertheless it is stated
there is a great accumulation OF the
metal here.-New York Commercial
