AN iAP0R TINT MATTER.

Dawson's growth and prosperity is
Is dependent, almost entirely, on agri,
culture, and unless other branches of
industry are opened up to her she may
be said to have attained her full
growth.
The business men of Dawson have
too much at stake to look idly on and
see the growth of the city stop. They
own too much real estate here, and
too much other property, to allow it
to decline on their hands.
What can they do about it? There
Is magic in the word which CONVEYS
the answer-Factories. Towns which
have sprung up like magic and
made men itch are manufacturing
towns. Take down the may, spot
the flourishing towns and cities in
America, in the South, in Georgia,
and read their histories, and you will
learn that manufactures have fur
nished the keynote to success.
Now what can be done to start the
ball moving in that direction in Daw>
son? The first opportunity that pre-"
sents itself is the North Carolina cot
ton factory that is seeking location
in Georgia. Let the people of Daw-
son give it all the encouragement and
support possible to come to our city.
With it will como moro oaI ital and
more people, and 1t is these that make
thriving and growing cities.
1t is time for Dawson to make a
start on this line. She mnst begin
manufacturing for herself, and quit
paying tribute to the the enterprise
and energy of other communities.

"8LO0D rs THICKER TEAR WATER. {"

The state OF Kansas held her an
nual municipal elections last week,
and some curious developments came
to the surface. Kansas has always
been an exceedingly odd character in
the sisterhood of states, says the Val
dosta Times She has furnished reg,
ularly the boss cranks of every PEI
riod since her existence. Her Ingalls,,
her sockless Simpsons and her Mad
ans Garfield and Pease, and such like,
have ever claimed the attention of an
indulgent and long suffering public.
In Kansas the women vote, For
several years past two or three towns
i'll the state have had women for mays
ors, backed by a full board OF female
aldermen. When election day rolls
round the husband is instructed to stay
AT home, at least part Of the day, and
rock the baby, while the wife gathers
up her skirts and hurries through the
mud and rain, or perhaps snow storm,
to the voting precinct, and it IS assert
ed that the Kansas female politician
is a hustler at the polls. She knows
how to run the foaters in, and she
does it with an abandon which strikes
the older political hacks with awe!
But, be it remembered, several
years ago large colonies of negroes
from the South went to Kansas, and
they congregated about the towns in
that state. Under the same law which
gives the white women the privilege
of voting the regresses are also guar
anteed this right of the American
citizen; and they, too, are taking a
hard in Kansas politics. AT the cleo
lions held last week the Democrats
and Republicans had tickets in the
field, and, following the African bent,
the colored sisterhood hocked to the
Republican standard. This was too
much for their white sisters, who
were almost all Republicans, and in
solid body they kicked out OF party
traces, and voted against their hus-
bands, and these new allies of the Re-
publican party-tbe negro women.
All this, too, happened the State
where lives the Mrs. Garfield who
prayed that she might see the day
when she would be able to look down
from some favorable elevation in
Heaven and behold black heels upon
white necks in the Sonth,
How soon this curse seems to he
coming home to roost! The white
female voters of Kansas evidently
think it is at hand.
Charity, honorableness and good
will to the neighbor are cardinals Of
Divine authority, and men or women
who defy these Tor political advantage
often live TO come to grief to say
nothing OF post norton consequences.

COMMENTS - CONDITION OF
THE IRON MARKETS.

The writer, in company with II. w.
Harte, one 81 the operators, visited the
Lee Peck mine this week, and found the
property much improved in appearance.
At present work is being carried on at a
depth Of sixty-6ve feet, though the shaft
IL twenty feet lower. The formation has
a trend northwest and southeast, the
exploitation being TO the southeast OF
the shaft where drifts and cross-cuts
have shown clean body OF ore forty
feet in width. The'ore is Of a soft nature,
BLUSH color and "A non Bcssemer in char
actcr, though running above sixty per
cent. in metallic iron. 1t Is the purpose
OF Messrs Parks and Harte 20 thorough
~ develop the property before placing il
ON the market; they have let pass UNI
needed several offers TO sell but are con-
tented to hold on until the property Is
shown up to it's real value. Messrs.
Parks and Harte have worked there
about one year.
On Wednesday OF last week drifting at
the Wagner property was commenced.
The main working shaft Is down 125 feet
and il is mt this depth the new work is
being done. They are drifting north
toward the Tobin in formation OF iron
and jasper J. +. Carey and Henry Nc
Gamma, two OF the interested parties,
looked the property over yesterday.
THE DIAMOND DRILL said last week
that the McCusker- Weller-Smith proper
" was in 42-33, which is just one town
ship too far south; it's in 1922. The
Night Hawk is in the same township, but
the Mostodon, South Mastodon, Alpha
and Atlas properties, being in the same
bunch, are in 42-33.
At the Monongahela exploration west
OF the Shafer mine. the machinery splaced
and new shaft down forty feet. II is
expected that the surface will not be SO
deep as was found at the more western
point.

rate. the more conservativoiron men will
not move in the matter until the volume
OF sales shall give indication OF the per-
mancncy OF the Improvement In the situ-

settlement as ever. One reason, per-
haps, Tor the independent position as,
sumed by the syndicate people, Is found
in the TACT that all the furnaces and mills
connected with the coke producers are
plentifully supplied with material, and
have been storing up coke Tor long time.
Tor just such an emergency ~ the pres
emit. Under the circumstances, these firms
ARE enabled TO keep right on with their
work, taking advantage of the advance
i'm the price Of pig iron and its products,
,ls occasioned by the gradual wIping out
Of stocks in the two valleys. There Is no
question that the price Of all pig materi-
Al still in the valley Is being enhanced as
the stocks grow less, and AS there Is con-
siderable consumption stiilsnpplied from

stocks IN but a question OF very lew
weeks. IL Is this very question that is
again disturbing the pig iron interests,
for the present advance IL hardly sale
enough TO warrant the resumption oi
general activity on the basis of old prices
OF coke and rail frcights, while the coke
drawers. very naturally, will decline To
work at reduction 81 wages, in the face
OF a substantial advance in the price OF
pig iron. There is also some danger that
one or two valley firms, who either have
a supply Of coke on hand or who coke
their own coal, and whose furnaces are
now banked, may find the advance sufii-
GENTLY profitable to start up again, In
which event general starting up could

late, and IL In thought that quite good
deal Of the disengaged tonnage will carry

Through the kindness OF Hon. Joseph
Flesheim, The DIAMOND DRILL this week
received "A copy OF the Doran bill and for
the benefit OF those who have not seen

vested in mining or manufacturing bust
ness as contemplated by this act.
SEC. 2. All acts and parts of acts con-
travening the provisions OF the act are
hereby repealed.
For the very essence OF incongruity the
above jumbled sputterings ofan iliterate
moss-back senator is candidate for the
highest honors. Should this bill become
law, the mines Of the Upper Peninsula
would. IL il were possible to work under
the law, pay iuto the state treasury the
enormous sum OF four million dolla m
annually, think Of it; sum sufficient to
pay the tax OF the entire state, IA they
now exist, and leave an annual surplus
better than one million dollars. II
would have the effect OF destroying the
mining industries Of the state and make
it the meanest, most poverty-stricken
commonwealth in the Union. Take, for
example, the iron mines Of this district
place a tax Of twenty cents a ton or their
product and every last one OF them would
be compelled to shut down and do it
quick. The mining industry OF the Up
per Peninsula rs the coming mainstay of
the state OF Michigan; and instead Of
placing additional tax il anything that
now existing should be removed. For
tunately there are enough sensible heads
in the legislature To kill the bill and while
they are at il they would do the state
good turn by killing the fool hther Of the
fool bill.
