PUT MANN'S MAJORITY

Virginia Politicians in Wash
ington Discuss State Con-
test, Lineup Next Time.
(By Associated rress.)

WASHlNGION, d. C-t OCt 80
With the end of the Virginia guber-
Material race but few days off. II Is
not d.ficult to see what the end VIII
be--certajnly so far as tae Repnbl-
can side of the progrnrn Is.
A number of virgsni& po slticisns
have been in Washington suBfssss the
last few days-some of them Demo-
Gratis and some Republicans. and the
general concensus of opinion is that
Judge Mann will defeat the Republi-
can nominee. Mr.. Kent, by about 20
600 majority. Although this will not
Sc so great majority as Governor
Swanson piled up over Mr.. Lewis four
years ago, il will be a sufficiently
large vote to save the state to the
Democrats.
Program for Next Time.
One interesting situation has been
developed during the last few days
-Four years hence there viii be three
Democratic candidates in the held II
they all live-Representative Glass,
Harry ST. George Tucker and Henry
Stuart. That mitch is settled. and
with either of the three in the field
there is not the least doubt that the
Swanson vote OF four years ago viii
again be polled OF course, all three
will not run. II will be either Tuck
er. Glass or Stuart. That there Is not
a Republican in the state who could
come anywhere near them is the gen.
erai opinion here. The only Repub-
.scsn in the state at this time who
VII cause any danger whatever 10
the Democrats is Mr.. Slemp. and II
Is not likely tina; he will give up q
certainty Of being in congress FOL
many years to take a chance on be-
ing governor of Virginia, with the
odds decidedly against him.
With either Tucker, Glass OF Stuart
in the field he would probably not
make much better show than Kent
will make this time.
Weak Organization.
Since IL has developed that only in
twenty-five counties in the state have
the Republicans gotten out tickets
for members Of the house OF dele
gales. it shows what a very weak or
ganization they have and that what
ever strength they may possess Is
only apparent in spots.
The situation summed up. with less
than week until the election. shows
that Mr.. Kent is about as weak man
I A. could have entered the race on
the Republican, side. The question
Is being asked whether Mr.. Slemp
+ really wanted . strong man 90 run
and If 50. could he and the other Re
Z rrblican leaders IN the state have
found one 10 enter the race.

At Natchez.

NATCHEZ, MISS, Oct. 29.-Arriv-
ing here on the Oleander at $40
O'Clock this morning. two hours and
forty minutes behind scheduled time.
Pres ident Taft and his personal party
left again at noon three hours behind
schedule time.
Eight OF the other vessels of the
waterways fleet were in sight when
the Oleander pointed her nose into
the bank. This was due to the fact
that the Oleander, which shook on
all the other boats yesterday In the
run to vicksburg ard caused the gov
ernors and congressman temporarily
to desert their steamers for a special
train. got into difficulties herself last
night and could net make her usual
speed.
One Of the regular firemen had 10
be put ashore at Memphis on account
Of Illness and green hand at the
fires succeeded in choking them.
Canal Exit Blocked.
Another reason for the long delay
in reaching here wa5 due to the fact
that the boats arriving at vicksburg
after the Olesnder last night crowded
into the canal in direct violation Of
orders and blocked the exit OF the
President
There is quite controversy on as
to who arranged the schedule to New
Orleans. Some blame it on Wash

people.

canada's Marvellous Silver Mines.

Ottawa, Ont-The silver districts
have been growing silently, yet with
marvellous celebrity. Cobalt, Haley
bury and New Liskeard are growing
rapidly. Latchford, the gateway to the
Montreal river country, is becoming
the base of an extensive traffic. North
Bay and Sudbury are alive with the
spirit of the life coursing through the
river northland. Gowganda, which
sprang into existence almost in a
night, finds itself the base of opera
tions to a country farther west. At
Wapoose, little group of tents and
shacks today. is the embryo of the
larger community that is to be. The
whole north country is being flooded
with prospectors, among whom the
American largely predominates.
1t is not unreasonable to predict
that in the next five years Ontario
will be producing most of the worlds
supply of silver. The Ontario depart
ment Of mines has received an offer
of $20,000,000 for what is generally
termed the Gillies Limit, which lies
adjacent to the chief producing Cobalt
mines. The offer appears to contem-
plate the purchase Of the area en- bloc
and includes the provincial mine and
the thousand acres now being offered
for sale by public tender. No official
announcement has been made concern
ing the character of the offer, but it is
understood it emanates from Montreal
capitalists.

WILL BE CLASSIFIED ACCORDING
TO FINDINGS OF FIELD
BIOLOGISTS.
SURFACE TITLE GIVEN
VALUE TO BE DETERMINED BY
ESTIMATE OF COAL QUALITY
AND TONNAGE.

Washington.-The Geological Sur
vey is placing even greater emphasis
this year upon it's work of classifying
national policy CT promoting the most
advantageous disposal of the public
lands is continued under Secretary
Ballinger and by his instructions the
director of the survey is transmitting
to the commissioner of the general
land office land classifications based
upon the reports of findings of the
field geologists. To the fullest extent
possible under the law the effort is
to secure the wlsest utilization of the
resources of the public domain.
Recently-enacted legislation gives
to the agricultural entryman whose
entry was made prior to the passage
of the act, the privilege of electing to
take the surface rights, while the coal
rights are reserved for future and
separate disposition. The chief OF
the Denver field division of the gem
eral land office reports that from in
formation received in his office nine
ty per cent. of the Colorado entrymen
elect to take title to the surface
reserving to the United States the
coal rights. This alone indicates the
value and wisdom of this legislation,
which is the first important amend
ment of the coal land act along the
lines urged by Mr.. Ballinger in 1907,
when commissioner of the general
land office.
If the entryman, on the other hand
chooses to contest, then the issue be-
comes one of relative worth between
agricultural and coal values.
The revised scheme used in the val
uation of the coal lands differs from
that formerly in force in two general
respects. The basis is now specifi-
cally that of coal tonnage and the land
prices thus determined for the better
grades of coal, anthracite and coking
bituminous, are somewhat higher. the
maximum being raised from 800 to
$500 per acre, and indeed this maxi
mum does not hold in districts which
contain large coal mines, where the
character and extent of the coal de-
posits are well known to the pur-
cnaser"
The plan of valuing the public coal
land by accurate determination of
coal quality and tonnage is the most
equitable possible. and while adequate
returns are secured to the government
the land prices thus fixed rarelyamount
TO one-fourth of the royalties prevail
ing in the same districts among pri-
vate interests.
