A REPUBLICAN YEAR

Practically all of the delegates to
the republican national convention,
which meets at Chicago on June Sth,
have now been chosen.
The preliminary contests, as be
tween candidates for the nomination
have been marked by keen rivalry
and tense spirit born of the gen
eral feeling that an overwhelming
victory is surely Forthcoming III No
vember. Popular pre-convention in
terest is aroused to an extraordinary
degree and undoubtedly the gather
ing at Chicago will be the greatest in
the party's history.
Uncertainty attaches to the nomi-
nations two weeks before the date
fixed. Primaries have not clearly
pointed to the identity of the stand
ard bearer. 1t is evidently to be an
open minded convention-in the
sense that large percentage OF the
delegates will be uninstructed or I'M
committed when they take their
seats and open to conviction as to
choice.
With few exceptions, the primar-
les have not been altogether illumi
mating in results. Experience in the
preliminary campaign has demon
strated, in the opinion of close stu
dents of the political conditions, the
need of uniform primary system
and a movement toward that end
doubtless will follow this quadren-
NAL struggle.
The number of contested delega-
tions, almost wholly from the south,
promises to be much smaller than in
former years. On May 3lst the ma
tional committee will meet at the
Coliseum, Chicago, to take up these
contests for presentation to the
committee on credentials of the con-
vention.
All the detailed arrangements for
the convention, under the direction of
Committeeman A. 7. Hert, chairman,
are well in hand.
Throughout the country the pre-
vailing sentiment is that this is n
republican year and that the era OF
incompetence, inefficiency and col
lossal waste, so demoralizing to the
public welfare of the nation, will be
brought to an end on March 4, 1921.

B. D. Stewart, Territorial Mine Inspector, who recently returned from trip to the Windham Bay district during which he examined several prospects, was much struck with the showing already made and with the district as a whole
 At the property of the Independ ent Mining Corporation he found the company had been doing con siderable dwork He said they have started their tunnel not more than ir0 feet from tide water and fol- lowing the ore body in for distance of 45 feet had cross-cut it, finding it to be eighteen feet in width. After cross-cutting, the tunnel was continued in distance of another 65 feet with two cross-cuts in that
 distance to prove the ore body. GIr. Stewart says the Windham
 Pay district is a continuation of the Juneau ore body that has beer
 traced all the way from the Rainy Hollow country on the north to Syl- via Creek in Windham Bay. H. said tic ore zone on which the In dependent Company is working car 1 be traced right across the head O the Bay to the other side.
 On the property of the Alasks Peerless Mining Company in the | Windham Bay district he found thu work done last summer has opened
 up some promising looking ground
 Taking a trip up Spruce Creek MT Stewart encountered several men do 1 ing placer mining. They started or | the work last year and stopped dur | ing the winter They have started up again this Spring and had nice poke of gold dust to show for their
 work so far.
 To encourage the people of Wind
 ham Bay in their endeavors to oper up the country, MT. Stewart be- lieves a trail should be constructed along the beach from point near the Narrows to the Postoffice at least. In severe winters such as last winter the bay freezes up from the Narrows in, and all supplies for the camp must be freighted from there in. A trail would help considerable in the freighting opera tions.

The body Of Ross c. Peterson. who
was killed last Wednesday near Dem
ing. y. NJ. reached the city this morn-
Ing. accompanied by George Maynard

trip from this city to San Diego. Cal,
and Peteeon's two daughters. Mrs.
Henry E. Robertson. OF FL Paso, Tex,
and Mrs. J. W. Maxwell. of Houston

Mr.. Maynard. seriously injured in the
accident was able to be about today,
altho suffering greatly from broken ribs
and extensive burns. Two ribs on the
nard's body, face and hands were badly
burned by acid from the batteries.
Peterson was instantly killed when
the car turned over on an embankmene
near Deming, Maynard believes. The
windshield was driven into the side of
Peterson's head and his chest was
crushed by the weight Of the car.
Under Car For Hours.
Maynard had a remarkable escape
from death and was pinned under the
car for three and half hours before he
could extricate himself. The fact that
Peterson was a larger man than May
nard probably was the cause OF the lat
ter's escape. Both were pinned under
the car and Maynard was able TO re-
lease himself only after the greatest
effort After he had dragged himself
from the wrecked automobile another
car passed and picked him up. taking
him to Demtng.
The accident occurred about ten
miles from Dening at 2 o'clock In the
afternoon. Peterson and his compan-
ion were driving at rate OF about
twenty 1--WE miles an hour, having LETT
e Paso at II O'clock. They were en-
route TO Deming for mail. and. being
IN no hurry. had planned TO spend the
night IN that city.
Accident Occurs On Curve.
Tho accident happened at sharp
curse In the road. In making the turn
| the car ran into soft sand and was
| veered to the eide Of the slight enhank-
ment, which had been partly washed
away by recent rains. Before Peterson
could turn his car into the road again
the car left the ernbankment and
turned over. The automobile left the
highway Just at the approach Of a
bridge within a few feet OF the abut-
,ment.
The car, Buick roadster. was badly
wrecked and mechanics who examined
| the wreckage told Maynard Il would
cost $500 to $500 to make repairs.
The body Will be taken to the Elks
club rooms "Wednesday AZ O'clock and
i may be viewed by friends an hour be-
fore the funeral service, which is to
be held At 2 Mrs. Peterson. who Is en-
