OHIO REPUBLICAN EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE SHOWS ITS
PREFERENCE.
TAFT MEN IN CONTR OIL
STATE CONVENTION TO BE HELD
IN COLUMBUS MARCH
3RD AND 4TH.

Columbus, O.-The Republicans of
Ohio will be given an opportunity to
express by direct vote their choice for
the party's candidate for president at
primaries to be held February 18th,
when delegates and alternates to the
Republican state convention will be
elected

3rd and 4th and it will select, in addi-
ton to four delegates at large to the
Republican national convention, can
didates for governor and other officers.
The call for the primaries and con-
vention was adopted this evening by
the Republican state central commit
tee after a protracted and lively ses-
sion.
The friends of William H. Taft, sec
retary of war and candidate for the
Republican nomination for president,
were in control of the committee, cast
ing fourteen votes to seven for the
supporters of Senator Foraker, also an
avowed candidate for the presidency.
The vote stood fourteen to seven on
every proposition which required a
roll call except the selection of a tenn
porary chairman of the state conven-
ton.
James r. Garfield, secretary of the
interior, the chief of the Taft support
ers, received thirteen votes to eight
cast for Harry NJ Daugherty of Col
umbus. Richard McCloud of London,
a close personal friend Of Mr.. Daugh-
erty, but Taft supporter, voted for
him as against Mr.. Garfield
The call reported by the sub-com-
mittee and adopted oy the general
committee by vote of fourteen to
seven is one of the most elaborate
ever issued by state committee.
Several amendments to the call
were proposed by the friends of Sen
ator Foraker, but in each case they
were voted down.
The chief fight was made against
the direct primary plan for the selec-
the party's candidate for President at
They proposed that delegates to
county conventions be chosen by di-
rect vote, the county convention( to
choose the delegates to state COZ Pm
ton.

Another Rockefeller Gift.

Chicago.-Martin Ryerson, president
of the board of trustees of the Chicago
university, announced Thursday that
John ID. Rockefeller has added $2.191.-
600 to his gifts to the university, max
ing the total of his benefactions over
$23,O00,00o.
1t is also reported that the head of
the Standard Oil Company has offered
to treble all contributions to the me-
mortal library which the university is
trying to erect in honor of William R
Harper, its first president.
The trustees have already received
Sl35, 900 for this purpose and hope to
add 5000 to this sum, so that with
Mr.. Rockefeller's contribution an $780,
600 structure may be erected on the
campus.

of those preceding it from the same
source, is to be devoted mainly 10 gen

Anti-Suicide Bureaus.

London.-Twelve months ago Gen
eral Booth, of the Salvation Army,
started dnti-suicide bureaus in various
cities of the world, and ne now has is
sued review of the years work
Altogether 1.125 men and ninety wo-
men sought the assistance of the Lon
don bureau to save them from self-de-
struction, while at least an equal num-
Der applied at the bureaus in other
cities. 1t appears from the review that
the seekers for help belonged mainly
to the middle classes. More than half
of them ;ttributing the desire to end
their lives to financial embarrassment
or hopeless poverty.
From the small number of woman
applicants General Booth deduces that
they are better able to bear up under
sorrows and trials than men. He thinks
it safe to say that seventy. five per cent
of the applicants have been diverted
from contemplated suicide and helped
to surmount their difficulties.
Clergymen, naval and military of
ifers, doctors newspaper men and
bakers were among those saved from
committing suicide General Booth con
siders that the results more than just
flied the institution of the bureaus.
which hencef9rth will have a perma-
nent place in the operations OF the Sal
walton Army.

PROGRESS in New Mexico.

The affairs of the Comanche NJ. & S.
Company, operating reduction works
at Silver City and mines in the Pinos
Altos and Burro mountain sections,
have been placed temporarily in the
hands of a receiver. This action is
said to be merely matter of conven-
ience, as the company has ample as
sets; II is probable that the company
will be reorganized. Work has been
entirely suspended at the company's
mines and mills.-The iron ore ship
ments from the C. +. & l. Company's
Fierro mine for the five months end
ing December 7th totaled SG,500 tons,
and this months output is estimated
at 1900 tons, making a total for the.
second half of the year of 103,500
tons.-The American Meerschaum NJ.
Compeny, operating near Sapello, is
making ready to ship large quantities
of its product.-The Azure company
has resumed work at its turquoise
mi,.es in the Burro mountain section.

IN COLORADO CAMPS.

Boulder County-The old Colhurn
mill in the Magnolia section is to be
remodeled for the handling of tung-
stem ores of the tributary properties.
The plant was formerly equipped for
cyaniding. A recent test mill run of
Blue Bird mine ore was very satisfac-
tory. and it is possible that dry-pro-
cess concentration plant will be
erected at Cardinal.-The new Mag
nolia cyanide mill of the Taylor G. M.
Co. is about completed, and will prob
ably be put in operation early in jan
uary.
Dolores County.-The first unit of
the United Rico Mines Company's con-
centrating plant will be put in opera
1ion about January 1st. The COM
panv's Group tunnel mill will be in
readiness about April 1st. The com
bin5ed capacity of the two milling
plants is about so tons. A recent en-
gincer's report shows that there is
available for extraction about 100000
tons of ore at the Atlantic Cable mine.
H. A. Shipman is the engineer in
charge.
Lake County.-The Western Mining
Company has lately suspended opera
tionS at its Perrose, Coronado and
othel mines.-The Iron-Silver Mining
Company has also ceased operations
temporarily, the Minnie concentrating
plant having been shut down last
weel. Seventy sets of leasers, total
ing over 300 men, are employed at the
I5ev mine, and it is probable that addi-
ttonal leasers will begin work after
the first of the year.-The Central
Colorado Power Company, which sus-
pended operations nearly two months
ago, has decided to resume work not
later than February 1st The carry
ing out of plans of this power COM
pany mean much to the mining pro-
gress of the district.
Fremont County.-The interests of
the Colorado Smelling Company of
Florence and the Troy Consolidated
Mining Company of Kelvin, Arizona,
have been consolidated. The Troy
Company takes possession of the Flor
ence smelter early in the year, and it
IS proposed to remodel and enlarge tho
plant
Mineral County.-The Creede United
Mines Company's power plant at the
Happy Thought mine? was destroyed
by fire December 22d, resulting in a
loss of 100000 The origin of the
fire is unknown, as the plant had been
closed down for several days. 1t is a
disastrous blow to the Creede camp,
and will still further curtail it's pro
duction. Owing to the slump in the
price of lead and silver, the majority
OF the mines in the camp are closed
down, over 200 men being affected.
Park County.-A rich gold-ore strike
is reported at property two and one
half miles southwest of Hartsel. The
ore is said to occur in a two-foot body
at depth of eighteen feet.-The Rus
sia mine above Alma has been closed
down for the winter.-Operations have
been resumed at the Fanny Barrett
mine in the Alma camp, under the di-
rection of A. Crown.

Southern Colorado Power Company.

Denver-With the incorporation OF
the Southern Colorado Power & Rail
road Company yesterday, a step has
been taken toward the instituting of
series of power houses in southern Col
orado which promises to work as great
benefit to the southern portion of the
state as the Northern Colorado com
pany has to northern Colorado. The
new company is incorporated for ST.
100000 and the incorporators are w.
F. Schuyler, X. C. Schuyler and c.,
Speiss of Denver
There are a number of eastern capi-
talists behind the project and the ;n,-
mediate work of construction Will be
started within a few weeks.
The district included by the company
will be the counties of Huerfano and
Las Animas. Central plants will ne
established in the cities of rrin~lad
and Walsenburg for the supplying of
electricity to the nearby mining
camps and to the cities themselves. 1t
is stated that the street railroad Of
Trinidad will be secured by the South
ern Colorado Company.

Christian Psychology.

Chicago.-Bishop Fallpws began
Thursday night at st. Faul's Reformed
Episcopal church his demonstration of
he efficacy of Christian psychology as
a cure for human ills. lie was so over
whelmed with applications for treat
ment that in place of giving individual
treatment he was compelled to treat
his patients" in a measure en- masse.
More than 1900 persons appeared at
the hour appointed for his demonstra-
ton. After outlining briefly what he
deemed to be the limitations of the
psychological method, Bishop Fallows
gave private interviews to those with
whom he had appointments and in
vited the others to come at a future
time.

MINT DIRECTORS ESTIMATE.
Shows Falling Off in the Production
of Gold

Washington.-Th production of
gold in the United States fell off $4,-
753, ,401 in 1907, as against 1906,
whereas the amount of silver pro-
duced was increased by over 100000
fine ounces. Alaska's gold production
fell off little more than s3,000,000, ac-
cording to the preliminary report of
the director of the mint just issued.
Colorado is shown to have led all of
the states in 1907 in the production of
gold, as it did in 1906, the amount,
however being reduced from nearly
$z3 100000 in 1906 to nearly $2lOOO,-
600 in 1907
Montana leads the list in the pro-
duction of silver, with 12,11S,OO0 fine
ounces, with Colorado ami Utah only
few thousand ounces behind.
The following table shows the value
in dollars of the production of the
principal gold and silver states for
the year:
