Az s o'clock this morning the poll
ing managers were still counting the
votes at the big boxes in Birmingham
prat+ city. Ensley and Bessemer, but
a sr1.,mary Of all the votes counted up
to that hour gave very sure lndica-
ton of the result
McAdory leads the race for sheriff by
about 100 votes, which cannot be very
materially reduced by the incoming re-
ports. George Ward congratulated him
upon his victory at midnight, and Captain
John L, Reid, before going home, made
a statement conceding the victory to Nc
Adory.
1t is nip and tuck between Ward and
Reid for second place, and it will be i'm
possible to settle this honor until after
the whole vote is counted. While Nc
Adory ran we'll in Birmingham, the fine
support of the country people and the
Bessemer end of the county is responsible
for his election.
The election of J. P. Stiles to the, pro-
bate judgeship by a two to one ma
jority over Judge Samuel E. Greene, is
an assured fact.
Sam Blake ran so far ahead of his two
opponents that his vote may prove to be
a plurality.
While Owen Gillespy ran good race,
the Indications are that Robert A. Nor
ris held his position by snail ma
jority.
(, !. r. Taylor was elected road SUPER

The majority Of Judge Charles w. Fer

Congress, to be held in Denver on
December 15th-17th is the first
step toward the organization Of
great congress of American apple
growers and dealers. This will be
the only national organization of its
kind ever proposed and is destined to
become of much importance to grow
ers and dealers in all parts Of the
country.
The initial meeting for the organiza-
tion Of this has been officially called
by Governor John F. Shafroth, who
has also sent invitations to governors
of other apple producing states, ask
ing that they send delegates.
Colorado, as the leading apple grow
ing state in the union, is the logical
state to take the initiative in organic
ing this important congress.

At a conference between the vice
president of the company and other
eastern investors and the consulting
engineer, it was decided to push de-
velopment in all parts Of the Socorro
mine. Mogollon mining district. and
block out reserves sufficient to JUS
tify doubling the capacity Of the mill.
The Mogollon Gold and Copper
Company. which is doing considerable
development work on its property at
Cooney. made q rich strike in the
Florida group. the richest that has
ever been made on that property. The
ore carries heavy gold and silver
values on a good strong vein four feet
wide.
A very rich strike of almost solid
silver ore was made upon the Chicago
mine in the Black Hawk district. fif-
teen miles west of Silver City. It is
estimated from samples that have
been carried to Silver City that the
ore will run from $4,000 to $1,000 a
ton. The rich strike was made at a
depth Of eight feet although the shaft
has been in ore from the grass roots.
