NORTH BUTTE
Figured That Ore Reserves at Preeent Time Are Largest in Mines
 History

The quarterly report of the North Butte Go. just issued made no refer ence to reserves, but 1t is believed since the report that reserves during the past quarter were more than maintained, and as the Company has reported reserves as high as 1.lO0,000 tons, 1t Is a fairly safe calculation to figure North Butte ore reserves at the present time at about l,25O,000 tons. or the greatest amount of ore in reserve in the history of the mine.
 As the quarterly report has received wide circulation. there Is no necessity for repeating tho developments oth- CT than to note that the report shows

COL. ALEXANDER THE LATEST
AS WHITE SLAYER

The latest object of the campaign
against rich men who violate the
Mann act-Col. Charles Alexander,
millionaire capitahst-was arrested
in Providence, r. l., Friday and re-
leased today on bonds of $500.
The woman in the case, Miss Jes-
sic Cope of Los Angeles, is said to
be in the city and it is rumored that
she is under indictment for an at
tempt to extort money from Alexan-
der, using the Mann act as a tool.
The colonel, who is 81, met Miss
Cope in Los Angeles, two years ago.
They became friends and better and
Travelled together over the continent.
His ardor grew cold of late, Miss
Cope says, and his letters few.
Then the colonel finishes the story.
Miss Cope gave him the choice of
furnishing a swell fiat in Paris, he
says, or facing a sentence in Leaven-
worth. He chose the latter.

The New Primary Law

AS is usually the case when the
method of holding elections ia changed
by law, in the present instance OF
change in the procedure al the com.
ing primary election several proyi-
sions OF the new law are causing mis-
approximations
A careful reading of the new law
brings ont these facts
In appearance the ballots will
strongly resemble the regular Austral-
ian ballot. Each party which has can
didates TO be voted for will be repre-
sented on the ballot, the party name
appearing at the top of the column
containing the candidates names.
with circle under the party name.
The voter will receive one Of these
ballots before entering the bouth. He
will first indicate the party which he
desires to affiliate with by placing a
cross in the circle at the head OF the
ballot. But in every instance he
must go further than that He must
vete for one candidate for each Office,
by placing cross in the square at
the left of the candidates name The
reason for this is that in some instanc-
es. perhaps In every instance. there
will he the names OF several candidates
for the same Office. II the voter simply
placed cross in the cicrle ut the
head OF his party ticket IL would indi-
cate that he wanted TO vote for every
candidate on his parry ticket for the
same Office. II is obyiouss. of course,
that he cannot do this.
For some ofic .he-will be instruct
ed on the proper place on the ballot
that he must vote for one candidate.
as will be the case for recorder, police
court justice. and other Offices because
there il but one incumbent in that
Office. In the coming city primaries,
In fact, there will be no Office desig-
mated where the voter may vote for
more than one candidate
The voter dose not have to confirm
himself to the names OF the candidates
on The ballot. as the law SAYS he may
write. print or paste in the name or
names OF such person or persons as he
wishes TO vote for whose names do not
appear on the ballot.
While IL is trne that there will be no
enrolment day. voters who have NOV
ed from one precinct TO another or who
have become voters since the last
preceding election, may appear At the
polling place on the day Of the pri'
mary and upon application their
names will then be enrolled.
There is provision in the law
which says that in case there are no
opposition candidates for any office
M a party ticket the city OF county
clerk. as the case may be. shall certify
to the board of election commissioners
tho names OF all persons whose peti-
tions have been properly filed and the

cd nominees for the respective offices.
and no primary will then oe necessary.
This provision has been misinter-
preted by some. IL is said. TO mean
that IN case there ~ no opposition to
