THREE LEADING PARTIES PRE-,
PAIRING TO MAKE SHOWING
in FIRST ELECTION.
BIG GUNS OF ALL
TO BE DIRECTED THEREON
Result Of Campaign in Massaohusstts
To Have Important 1sarins-First
Test on Wide Scale Of Nations Atti-
tuds Toward Democratic Tariff Law
Hard Fight Ahead.
Especial correspondence.1

Washington, Aug. 16.-Democratic,
republican and Dull moose leaders in
Washington have their eyes trained
on Massachusetts. A political battle Of
the first-class is on in that state. Be-
fore long the big guns OF all parties
Will be directed toward the Bay state
and the resultant heavy firing will be
heard all over the country.
Massachusetts, is always storm CEN
ter OF politics. and just now it has
more kinds of politics than usual How
the campaign this year in that state
eventuates. will be regarded as one Of
national import, because it will be the
first test on a statewide scale of the
way the public feels on tariff and other
democratic policies.
Hard Fight Ahead.
Democrats, republicans and progress
sive party men are going to fight hard
over Massachusetts this year. The
winning of victory there would be
accounted Of much moral value The
democrats will send Underwood, Ollie
James. Secretary Bryan. Secretary
Redfield. Secretary Wilson and other
speakers of prominence into the state
in behalf of the democratic nominee
for governor. Senators Borah, Cum
Minis and others will be sent in behalf
Of the republicans. The bull moose
will utiuize their best speakers. 1t Is
not unlikely that Colonel Roosevelt
will go in before the battle is over at
the polls.
Gardnsr's Entrance.
The entrance Of Congressman Aug
ustus P Gardner into the field as a
candidate for the republican nomina-
ton has added much to the Intensity
of the struggle. Gardner is q we'll
known figure in the house. good deal
Of an insurgent. man Of capacity and
fighter. He will. in any event. keep
things stirred up to high pitch in the
primary campaign. Governor Foss.
driven out Of the democratic party by
the new tariff bill. Is seeking tho re-
publican nomination. So Is Everett Z.
Benton, who was q candidate last year
and was defeated.
Gardners entrance into tho race
was sudden. but 1t is admitted he win
be a strong factor. From here he looks
like q winner for the republican NOM
nation. Foss Is expected to run indo-
pendent IL beaten for the republican
nomination. The democratic nomina-
ton Is conceded to David I. Walsh.
while Asa Bird will again be the Bull
Moose candidate.
Tariff will be kept at the front in
the campaign. Tho primaries will be
September 20. Then Will come short,
sharp campaign for election with four
candidates in the field. II Foss should
win the republican nomination there
would be only three. but If he loses
the nomination and then Jumps IN as
an independent, 1t will be hard to
.,,ess what Will be the outcome.

Wonderful Railroads.

For really exciting railroad travel
one must go to South America. There
engineers have had to break all sorts
Of worlds records to connect up the
line at all. In Peru there 10 q railroad
which runs between Callao and Lima
and on to Croya. 1t threads In and
out of intricate Andean gorges, and
passes along the edges of precipices;
and, with it's So tunnels. It pierces the
mountain chain at q height of over
$4,000 feet, at one part reaching Is,
645 feet. There is another railroad in
Peru. that from Arequipa to Puno on
Lake Titicaca, which crosses the noun
tains by cutting 1860 feet above
the sea- Neither Of these lines Il
long. yet they both cost considerably

WHERE PLATINUM is FOUND
Rare Meta, In Small Quantities Usu.
ally Is Associated With Gold
in Gravel Beds.

Platinum is found associated with
gold. principally in gravel beds. The
ordinary source is accumulations OF
gravel which have been eroded from
extensive area and gradually concen-
trated in one locality by the continued
action of water. 1t is a rare metal
and the accumulation must be from
great extent Of country II paying
deposit is to be developed.
Platinum is OF silver gray color
which is rarely furnished. Its devol-
opment is similar to gold. except that
where gold is usually associated with
quartz and light colored rocks plat
mum will be found more commonly
with dark coiored rocks, and espe-
cially those of a greenish shading
1t is found only in small quantities.
except at two or three localities. West.
ern Colombia and eastern Russia have
gravel beds which afford the princi-
pal supply of this metal. Elsewhere
1t Is found over considerable areas.
but not sufficiently concentrated to be
OF Importance. 1t may be looked for
among the formations adjacent to re-
gfons Of old volcanic activity.
The distribution is principally in al.
tered rocks. and segregation seems to
have been the principal cause con,
tributing to it's collection in ore
!! bodies. The deposits found ur to the
present time have been of irregular
naturalization and not of great ex'
tent, consequently all platinum de-
posts must be considered with eau
ton.
OF the rare metals associated with
platinum, iridium, csmium. palladium
and others, little need be said because
Of their rarity. II found they will be
associated with platinum and will be
