Hearst Will Be IN RACE
Will Accept Independent
Nomination for Mayor.
REPUDIATES JUSTICE GRAYSON
Civic Alliance Name of the New Party
Which Newspaper Owner Will
Head In His Battle Against
Tanmany.

New York.-After two days of si-
lence, William Randolph Hearst an
nounced to a crowd of waiting con-
stituents that he would accept an in
dependent nomination for. mayor Of
New York, provided that his associ-
ates upon the city and county tickets
be substantially the Republican-fu-
sion nominees as already selected
His statement, outlining the condi-
tons upon which he will accept, is in
part as follows:
Whether / am a candidate or not,
! will support the rest Of the fusion
ticket nominated in opposition to
Tammany Hall. When the Indepen-
dence League committee withdrew
from the fusion conference, it declar-
ed that it still stood ready to sup
port frank and honest. expression
of progressive principles and candi-
dates, irrespective of party This is
your opportunity to substantiate that
declaration. Nominate me if you so
desire with the greater part of that
fusion ticket behind me and / will
run.
THE candidates nominated in the
fusion ticket are worthy of support
The ticket is already in the field, if
we nominate another ticket, both
tickets may be defeated.
"If we nominate the fusion ticket.
Tammany will be defeated. And, If
Tammany is defeated, the citizens
will win
Mr.. Hearst goes on to say that he
thinks his chances for election would
be better on straight independent
ticket, but that he was not consider
ing his personal chances alone, but
those rather of the city at large. In
other words, he wishes the endorse
ment of the independents to enable
him to head a ticket simply by sup
planting Otto T. Barnard, who has
been nominated by the regular Re-
publican party and endorsed by the
so-called fusionists In his statement,
Mr.. Hearst repudiates his endorse
ment of Justice VIM. J. Gaynor, the
Democratic nominee, whom he an
nounced several days ago he would
support.
To insure party name, legal Seeps
were taken to register the Civic Al
lance under which title Hearst will
make the race If his requests are
complied with. The choosing Of this
new name was made necessary In
that Tammany. is charged with abb
sorbing the old Independence League
machinery at the recent primaries.

COTTON REPORT ALL RIGHT.
No Complaints Received by Bureau
of Statistics.

Washington.-Contrary to asser-

appears to be comparatively general
acceptance of the cotton condition re-
port of the Department of Agricul-4
ture as issued Monday. No COM
plants have been officially filed with
the Bureau of Statistics, and it is the
opinion at the department that the
bureau has succeeded in presenting
substantially the facts as to crop con-

here as meaning probably 12,0O0,-
OO0-bale crop if there should be no
serious abandoned acreage. Just
what the latter item will amount to
cannot be stated.

on the Mississippi river in South
western Wisconsin are starting a
movement to get clear of the old or
ganization of the collection of Gus
toms by the government, and these

to be changed so as to have a rating
as SUPPORTS of Milwaukee. The ports
have been rated in the New Orleans

when the customs service was reor-

Register Grace of the State Land

fact that recently in the parish of

ed at twenty-five cents an acre
brought as much as $6 an acre Oh
the open market when sold under
the provisions of this act. The act
forbids the sale of land in large quar-
titles at flat rate. The breaking Of
the quantity enhances those sections
of the land sold which have more
value than the whole tract would
average and which are, therefore,
more valuable to purchasers desir-
ing this particular class.

LPH|DES ON COLE INCREASING IN
 RICHNESS
Chalcocite Uncovered Run ming Parallel to High
 Grade Product

Development work at the Cole mine in the Gibson district is being con tinued along the same conservative lines as has been followed in the past. A force of men is at work sinking the shaft, which, according to inclined measurement has reached a depth of 355 feet and is sinking constantly through high grade ore, consisting chiefly of chaleopyrite, having high value in copper. The present grade of ore was first encountered in the Cole shaft at depth of 265 feet and from that point down the shaft has been con stantly in ore having a good conner cial value.
 The sulphide ore which appeared in the shaft few weeks ago in the form of chalcocite is increasing in quantity, with greater depth. This chalcocite is found running parallel to the high ore, being separated from it merely by a thin partition of clay. The occurrence of these two kinds of ores in such proximity to each other indicates pretty conclusively that when the Cole mine is developed it will have large reserves of low grade concentrating ores in addi- ton to the very high grade deposits already opened nearer the surface
 If the Cole mine was provided with such means of transportation as is available for the mines of the Miami district, its copper deposits would un- doubtedly make it one of the sensations of mining operations in Globe quad rangle. The cars from the shaft are dumping large quantities of high grade ore out, along with the waste, and at the present time fully twenty tons of this valuable material is lying on the dump. The energies of the manage ment, however, are being directed wholly toward proving up the mine as a property capable of steady and pro ftable production, and consequently no plan is being made to begin shipments to the shelter.
