At this meeting plans for having the

stated:
Let it be clearly understood that

SUPERVISOR QU|NN'S
MAYORALTY CAMPAIGN
IS IN DIRE P|Uk|A

As candidate for the Republican
nomination for mayor Of the City and
County Of Honolulu. Supervisor Quinn
has suddenly encountered two lively
sources of opposition, both growing out
of his position as a supervisor most
concerned with road work His Oppo-
ntnts threaten his chances not only to
be mayor, but to be supervisor again.
and for some quiet precinct work has
been going on, with a view to packing
the Republican convention against
Quinn.
The first piiikia came from Kaimuki.
Quinn didn t do all the road work that
was wanted. There came a kick, a
Quinn-Ike reply and then same citizens
began to get busy in the precincts, TO
see that Quinn didn t get too many
delegates.
Other local trouble came from Wal
kjki. ana part Of it : traced to a
difference between Supervisor Quinn
and County Clerk Kalauokalani. KaIau-
okalani's clerks used to tvpewr.te
Quinn : report for the board. until a
short time ago. when the county clerk
declined 10 allow them to keep no such
work. BY one of those strange coin
cidence- which often occur in politics
and public business, it happened that
after that there was never any men or
money to fix a road in Waikiki, ia
which Kalauoknlauj and many natives
are deeply interested. They stood it
for n while and they began to register

spite the fact that his railroad

BOND ELECTION

Great Interest.

Up to I o'clock this afternoon
the various polling clerks in the
city had not been overworked in
registering votes for and against
the park bond issue
Even with the light registration
not one tenth of those who had
placed their names upon the rolls
had turned out to vote before the
noon hour.
Indications are that the park
bond issue will carry as those who
appear to be voting are men who
have no hssitancy in declaring that
they are in favor Of the measure.
1t is thought by some that the
city and county attorneys have
been too busy to look up the law

on election day.

GREAT STRIKE

SALEM, Ore. May 3.-The great.
est strike in mining history, if the
assays are correct, was made a few
months ago near the town of Mer-
lin. in Josephine county. Oregon
At the time not much attention was
paid to the find, for instead of be.
ing gold, the values were in tin and
platinum, metals practically un.
known in the United States, and
the ores unfamiliar to most min.
ing men.
In fact the discoverers of the
mine were looking for gold, and ii
was only when h. T.. Bailey, a min,
ing man of Chicago, visited the
mine that its real value was discov.
cred. He told the miners the ore
contained platinum and tin, and ad
vised them to have it assayed for
those metals. The results were
astonishing. Assays running as
high as 60 ounces of platinum and
Sc per cent tin We're obtained.

said, "as he knows as well as | do

we would be foolish to risk an addi-
