DEPLORE PROPOSED RATES.
Miners Hope to Avert Rise in Coke
Iesscned Production Feared.

CITY OF MEXICO, Oct. S.-Great
interest is being manifested among
mining men, in the proposed advance
in freight rates on coal and coke,
as asked of the department of COM
munications and public works by the
principal railroads Of the republic.
Throughout all mining districts the
subject is one of the most pertinent
now being discussed, and already
there have been numerous reasons
presented to the department by min
ing and metallurgical men setting
forth their views on the subject. They
hope their objections will have suffi
cient weight to prevent the new tar
ifs from becoming effective. or at any
rate from being considerably modi-
fed.
One of the most prominent mining
IL N in Mexico, in discussing the pro-
posed rates, said that the proposed
rates will unquestionably have most
depressing effect upon the mining
industry, if put into effect. He says
that the rates the smelters are now
eXacting for the treatment of ores al
low a very small margin of profit OF
any but very high grade ores. and
under existing conditions. unless
transportation facilities are exceed
ingly favorable to the mine operator,
low grade propositions cannot be op-
Grated without financial loss.
If the proposed increase in the
rates on coal and coke are put into
effect he says, the smelling charges
will unquestionably be further in
creased to offset the additional ex
penses for fuel used by the smelters.
This gentleman says that today the
coal fields of Mexico cannot supply
the amount of coal and coke neces-
sary for the operation of Mexican
mines and smelters.

REGISTERED
VOTE TAKES
A BIG JUMP
TOTAL WENT Up TO ZIG YESTER-
DAY, WHILE GOOD INCREASE
Is EXPECTED TO-DAY, WHICH
IL THE LAST, ONE.

Registration yesterday continued
the surprise of the last few days. the
total reached being TIC, surprising
indeed in face of the original estt-
mates of even the most seasoned pol
iticians of the district. The day was
not alone marked by large increase
in the Ely precinct registration. how
ever, but also by a perfect rush of
men who had put off until the last
minute this important duty of the
citizen.
From the time that the books op-
ened at 9 in the morning until A. J.
Cartwright, the registration agent,
closed his doors at 8 p. m. there was
a continual stream of men desiring
to have their names added. The to-
tai of the day resulting from this sur
prised everyone.
Today is the last upon which man
can legally be registered and there
are thought still to be goodly num-
ber to take advantage of it. That
several old time voters are out OF
town and will not be able to get in
their registration is also known. A
telegram, unique in its way, was re-
ceived by Judge Cartwright yester-
day afternoon from George ID. Doyle,
who is in Salt Lake:
"A. j. Cartwright:
Il saw Judge Brown. Put my
name on register.
GEORGE d. DOYLE"
Judge Cartwright will see an at
torney today as to whether he can
place the name of Mr.. Doyle, who is
qualified to vote in every way ex-
cepting registration, on the register.
1t is not thought that this is possi-
BILE, however, and in case it proves
not to be, Mr.. Doyle will have to be
disappointed.
How many others there are in the
same case cannot be told, but If YOU
are one of the few who have failed
to register you should attend to il
j before . o'clock this evening when
your last chance will be past.

GARY DENIES THE STORY.
Steel Corporation Is Putting No Men
to Work for Political Effect.

NEW YORK, Oct. Sc. H. Gary.
chairman of the United States Steel
corporation, denied yesterday rumors.
circulated in New York and at Pitts
burg, that the corporation had given
men work for the purpose of influ-
encing the presidential election. An
unnamed politician was quoted as
saying that, without being justified
by trade conditions, the Steel corpo-
ration had recently given employment
to 100, 900 men in Ohio. Indiana, Illi-
nois and West Virginia, thus con-
tributing to the Republican campaign
fund in roundabout method. Judge
Gary said:
There Is no foundation for the
statement that any number of men
have been put to work for political
effect. From time to time in the past
six months additional men have got
work because the natural and legiti-
mate demands of business required
it. If and when the Republican nom
inee is elected, We confidently expect
the number of our men at work will
be materially increased.

and every one witnessed telling
blow upon the Democracy. The fall
lacy of free trade and the benefits OF
protection. the utter incapacity of the
Democracy when in power to remedy
the tariff situation, the effort of Mr..
Bryan by which he secured a suffi-
cient Democratic vote to take over
the Philippines, the possession of
which he now opposes, the defeat by
Democrats of amendment to the con-
stitution which was proposed to put
the trusts out of commission, were
dwelt upon by the orator in manner
that went home. In concluding his
remarks the orator called upon his
hearers to think well, to remember
the wonderful progress the country
has made under Republican rula, the
tremendous achievements that its cit
liens have accomplished in this time
in all lines of work and on November
3 to go to the polls and cast vote
for the Republican ticket from top
to bottom that the splendid history
of achievement in the past might he
continued. A storm of applause
greeted the eloquent speaker follow
ing his introduction to the meeting,
continued at frequent intervals dur
ing his address and followed him as
he returned to his seat. Throuehout
the district his presence IS fa"tain to
prove one of the most enjoyable
features of the campaign and should
bring tremendous attendance t" the
meetings which will be held prior to
the departure of his party on S'.pfay.
The meeting last night closed with
announcement by Chairman Grain
that owing to the lateness of the
hour the county candidates would not

igan, Col. MaXson and Judge Brown

Steptoe hotel. where they spent u

will reflect credit upon the state.
The nature of the Office for which he
had been placed in nomination, he
said, prevented his delying into poll
tics. but as a Republican he felt that
he had the right to say that he be-
lieved the principles of his party
meant better things for the people of
the country than did Democratic prin-
ciples and that the putting in power
of Democratic administration would
be a fatal mistake. He received much
earnest applause.
Col. II. b. Maxson followed Judge
Brown. He told of his residence in
the state since the days of the Com
stock and of some of the good work
he has accomplished for it, particu-
larly in bringing its mineral resources
into wide prominence and through
the bringing about of government
surveys which have enabled clear
titles to land and been of great value
to the people of the state in inereas-
ing individual land holdings and in
many other ways. He went on rec
ord as for the apportionment of more
of the government land lying within
the state to the state, in order that
the people of the latter might reap
larger benefit and declared himself
as wishing to go to congress in order
that he might secure for Nevada all
that may possibly be brought to its
aid in building 1t up.
Hon. Tom Fitch followed Col. Max
son. being introduced by Chairman
Grain as Republican platform
speaker for As years, the time of his
active service in the party ranks be-
ing in itself mighty good endorse
ment of the fact that the principles
of the party are most worthy.
Mr.. Fitch is advanced in years, but
there is the same old FIRE and snap
at his command that long ago made
him famous for eloquence and force.
and his audience last night enjoyed

grilled the Democracy from beginning

THINK THAT
CITY BONDS
ARE SOLD
MAYOR CLARK EXPECTS CITY
ATTORNEY CHARLES MAIKET
BACK IN ELY BY THE LATTER
PART OF NEXT WEEK.

City Attorney Charles A. Walker
is expected to return the latter part
of next week from the east. where
he has been for several weeks nego-
tiating the sale of the city bond issue
of $4,000 for municipal improve
ments and before that time it is ex
pected that he will have closed some
deal advantageous to Ely.
A letter was expected by Mayor
Clark from Mr.. Walker last evening
in which he was to detail progress of
which he had given notification pre-
viously by wire. Mr.. Walker has
been in New York for several weeks
and has since there been approached
by several bond buyers. The dispo
sal of the bonds would have been
easy long ere this except for the de-
sire of commission by each buyer.
Otherwise the bonds appeal to them
as being especially desirable.
That the sale will be completed be
tween now and the fore part of next
week Is the confident belief of the
mayor in view of the offers received
by Mr. Walker to this time.
