ming down towards the new TUNE
Capt. Searle says he has at last ercome
the heavy pressure of wafer and mu at the
new tunnel and Is drying it ahead again.
An expert says that the pressure arising from
the bottom of this tunnel is $50 pounds to
the square inch.
Mr.. Kidd, foreman of trackmen on the
Knob, spent the latter part of last week in
st. Louis; 1 think, probably, to select toys
for his return to the Quarry, as it is getting
near Christmas.
Mr.. Editor, we have had an argument in
regard to the Presidential electors in the
three principal states. Will you be kind
enough to give the numbers?*
Mr.. Goodenoush has two diamond drills in
full blast and it keeps Cal. humping to
keep them both going, although he has good
and experienced men-Mr. George Davis
and PaIute Parot-who have been at their
posts on these drills for the last or years.
Lon Cameron and his crew at tunnel No.
are sending down some of the old -fas hioned
simon-pure ore, and they swell the shipment
considerable over No. plane.
After breaking through up in the far end
of 81 they have laid bare thousands of tons
of splendid No. ore that only needs the
dirt shoveed off the top and it is ready to
be loaded into the car. This place is situat-
ed back on the east side of the hill.
The new lead prospect at Des Arc has
caused a considerable stir and talk among
the old-time prospectors around the Knob.
We miss the whistle at the shaft. 1t was
a very convenient time piece at $50 in the
morning: it could be heard from Hogan
Mountain to Middlebrook. In fact, when it
was blowed there was hardly ever any one
behind time. As for No. . or the furnace
| whistle, you can't hear any one of them a
quarter of mile.
Payday at the Knob will be next Friday
afternoon. 1t comes all hunkey for Christ
mas.
did not mean DR.. Golf last week, it is DR..
| Calf from the south, but he is not to be the
Company doctor.
Cashier Dits got up very neat and con-
senient card-holder of tin, which is nailed
| on the side of each car, so as TO 90 away with
lacking the cards on as before.
| My little trip on the 4th inst. brought me
in contact with good many business people.
| My first place to strike was neat and tidy
restaurant kept by Mr.. and Mrs. Kidd at
Germanville, where person can't possibly
fail to get anything he wants to cheer the
inner man. The next was Mr.. Ranft, Ger
manvile's most jovial merchant. His store
| is as fine as there is In the country, and the
| stock is immense. Joe is all gO-ahead and
| his store doesn't show half the stock he has
on hand. He keeps no shoddy stuff; moth
ing but the best, he says it pays better in the
| long run. The next place was Mr.. August
Blocks Drinking Palace. August has a fine
| place, where you can get the very best of
| Wines, Liquors and Cigars. This place is a
| great resort for the stone cutters. The next
| place is Joe Xii chner's, another Drinking
Bazaar, and quite sporting place Here
find nearly all the foreign and domestic
sporting literature profusely scattered about
on the tables. The next is the Graniteville
| Hotel kept by Mrs. Mason. This hotel is
very large and, in all, a handsome building.
| | can't say more for this than it is elegantly
| furnished and that Mrs. Mason is one of the
best caterers in this country. From here
| / struck the Graniteville railroad and went
by rail to Middlebrook. Here we find the
Seitz Merchandise COmpany's store, one of
the largest stores in Iron county. You can't
call for anything you ever thought of at this
| establishment but what they have it; we
even found wild Bill Trauernicht, the fash
| ionable tailor, and accepted an invitation to
dine with him. You will find card for each
| of the above in the Register" Annual.
