On the Bird inst, the Directors of the
Covington Improvement Company met
in Covington at the Company's Office,
and had under consideration the various
interests involved and the ways and
means to carry ont the purposes of the
organization One very gratifying fea-
ture of the proceedings, was the election
of Frank E. Lyman, as one of the Direc-
tors, who has recently become largely
interested in the Company. as well as
other improvement projects at Coving
ton. MFR. Lyman is Il wealthy young man,
of splendid business qualifications, and
is a very important acquisition to the
business interests of this district. He is the
owner of Dolly Ann and Stack Mines, and
the lessee of the Iron Mountain Mines,
which he has been successfully working
for number OF years, under the intelli-
gent management OF John s. Ham.
Those largely interested in the i'm
provements in progress about Covington
were delighted that Mr.. Lyman had be-
come identified so largely with them,
and well they may be, for it is an addi-
tion to their working force which means
much for Coyington.
Since we were at Coyington last, there
has been marked progress in the place.
The beautiful and well equipped Hotel,
"Intermont,n is in full blast with a
pleasant and refined company, filling it's
halls and parlors, and verandas and en-
joying each others society, as well as the
lovely scenery that stretches out in every
direction that the eye is cast number
of residence buildings have been erected;
two banking buildings are being built
the Furnace plant is nearing completion,
the Machine Shops ard Foundry ale I'M
der way, and above all, a very hopeful
and confident spirit pervades the peo-
pie. To the number of inhabitants, Gov
ington has more than its share of intelli-
men one likes to meet-besides, an at
mosphere of life and activity and success
emanates from association with them
There is no prettier location for pro-
gressive business town than Covington
With the development of the surround
ing country it must keep pace, and now
that the Warm Springs railroad is in
operation. that much more will be added
to its advantages
We wish the hospitable town and its
enterprising and intelligent people an
abundant success.

al months, up to the date of the stock

been operated at that time, but It was
to have commenced work the first part

management to double the ore ship
ments thereafter. In short, the condi~
ton of the mines is excellent-abun-
dance of ore which can be as easily and
cheaply mined as at any other property
in the country. And the ore is of the
best quality of brown hematite. The
Company is now in shape to mine on
larger scale than heretofore, and to

4th were to have gone over the entire
property, which embraces over 5000
acres, and is one of the most valuable
mineral tracts in the Union. The Com
pany is a strong one, and is amply able
to push the enterprise to q big success.

This is great year for the American hog. He has secured an abundant en- trance into Germany. Italy has just opened her doors to him, and Secretary Rusk is reported as taking a cheerful view as to his readmission into France The French chamber of deputies has already agreed to admit American pork at 20 francs per 100 kilos, and tho two branches of the French legislature have now only to agree in conference upon a rate for the order raising the embargo to be promul- gated and this the French charge d'affaires at Washington thinks will be done in 8 short time. Should the cabinet feel dis posed it may declare the embargo raised so soon as the conference report shall have been adopted. Otherwise the embargo will remain until the new French tariff bill shall have been passed. This, according 10 the charge d'Affaires, will not be until the latter part of November or the first part of December. Ills is inclined to the belief, however, that the cabinet will take action upon the pork question immedi- ately upon the passage of the conference report. Secretary Rusk expresses the opin- ion that the committee of the French sen- ate will agree in conference with the com mittee of the chamber of deputies to the rate fixed last session by the chamber of deputies. According to that rate there is a sliding scale, fifteen francs being the minimum and twenty francs the max imum.
 After France has joined the procession it is believed that Austria-Hungary will fall in. Peace hath her victories as well
