JEFFERSON srREET's PAVING
The Contract Awarded to Venable
Bros, of Atlanta.


At meeting of the committee of the
whole of the city council yesterday after
noon, the contract for paving Jefferson
street from Charlton to Henry, with bel
gian block, was awarded to Venable Bros
of Atlanta.
1t will be necessary to pass a special
ordinance before the work can be done,
but the action of the committee of the
whole practically settles the decision in
favor of. Venable Bros.
There were a number of bidders for
the work, but the lowest bid was made
by Venable Bros, they agreeing to
furnish all material and do the work for
Sl.70 per square yard, to be paid part
cash and the balance in one and two
years.
The bid of the Georgia Quincy Granite
Company was very favorably considered
by some of the members of council, but
this company failed to state explicitly for
what price it would do the work if the
payments should be partly cash and
partly on time.
Venable Bros have done a great deal of
paving at Atlanta and elsewhere, and
own large granite quarries at Stone
Mountain. There are IL 700 square yards
to be paved. which at Sl.70 per square
yard, will amount to S19,S90.

A GAY HOUSE DEMOLISHED.
The Recorder Fines Her and Her
Friend Paws the Fine.


The dull routine of the recorders court
was enlivened yesterday by the appear
ance of bevy of members of the
demi-monde. May Sherwood, prepos-
sessing brunette, was attractively
dressed, and seemed but little concerned
as to the outcome of the case against her.
Her friend was in court and she
knew her fine would make little differ
euce with her.
Madame Connolly testified that May
had attempted, TO put it mildly, TO tear
the whole side of her house down Edna
Ferris, striking-loeiIing girl with blonde
hair that needed some more blondine to
keep the dark shades bright, corrobor
ated her statement, speaking in a voice
that seemed to have been somewhat dam
aged; the woman told her little story and
then her friend explained the whole at
fair. This, however, could not blot out
the fine that was entered opposite her
name.
The fine was paid by the young man
and he and the girl walked out into the
bright sunshine and were soon out of
sight.
Tuesday night the young man, after
telling May goodbye, began to explore tine
house adjoining that in which she was
staying The girl, hearing of it, started
on hunt for her gay and festive friend
She attempted to enter Madame Con-
nelly's house, but was told she could not
come in. In the meantime the man was
getting over the back fence. Words that
were not learned in Sunday-school were
INDUCED in, and il was but few minutes
before a policeman escorted the disap-
pointed May to the barracks

A sAvANNAHTAN IN LUCK.
DR.. j. A. w. Wegefarth Strikes it
Rich in the Gold Fields.

DR.. j. A. w. Wegefarth Strikes it
Rich in the Gold Fields.
A former Savannahian appears to have
struck it rich out in New Mexico DR.
j. A w. Wegefarth, who left Savannah
last spring for the southwest for the
benefit of his health, has gone regularly
into the mining business in Socorro
county, New Mexico. If the reports of the
properties in which he is interested
published in the Industrial Record of
Socorro. are true he has very fine pros
poets indeed.
A copy of the Record of Jan. %, re-
ceived by the MORNING News, contains
the following:
Early in the week it became rumored
thatimportant gold discoveries had been
made in Water Canon, and Wednesday it
became known that number of business
men had secured valuable properties
upon which the recent finds bad been
made. The properties in question are the
Queen of the Valley and the Breeds
Hill, formerly owned by w. H. Smyth and
others, and the parties making the pur-
chase are G.. T. Brown, Charles Sporting,
K. Nj. Bray, w. E. Leonard, DR. Duncan
and DIR. Wegefarth. This company has
also secured by location, five others, the
principal one being the Savannah.
Assays on the groupings of the Queen
of the Valley have returned from $50 to
500 per ton, while many pieces of ore
taken out will go up into the thousands
This ledge has been prospected for 1900
feet and shows gold the entire distance,
and is undoubtedly the source of the
placer gold found in Water canon. The
new discovery is absolutely tree mill
ing.
Considerable excitement was created,
and by Thursday a mum Der of prospect
ing parties were in the
field, More are going every day.
The Wall Street has suddenly shown an
enormous body of ore, at least thirty feet
wide, and of course added much to the
excitement. This is looked upon as being
of great value to the camp, as the mill
will soon be in operation and will call for
a large number Of miners. All this ore is
big pay and the amount of it in sight
is something startling. The vein is easily
traced for the length of three claims, and
shows from three to six feet of pay ore in
every place it has been cut. This is not
the only discovery of gold during the
past week; number of veins have been
uncovered that carry gold in paying guam
titles. Considerable excitement exists
and all who can are going to the scene.
There is certainly fine field for pros
pecting."
DIR, VIM. Duncan, who was seen last
night by MORNING News reporter, said
that he is not the DIR. Duncan VINO was
interested with DIR. Wegefarth in the
New Mexican gold mining properties.
DIR. Duncan said that his father invested
considerable money in western mining
projects before the war, and he would be
very glad indeed if there should be any
return from it even at this late day, but
he has no reason to believe that he is in
terested in the properties mentioned in

craft engaged in the coastwise trade. She
was one of the fastest sailing vessels of
her kind, and has been in the trade since

been doing good service, and her popu-

that she would get there" along with

dienne of ability. AS Little Maverick, a

with hunor and vivacity, and devoid of
coarseness. Her acting is all gayety, a
bubbling up of the animal spirit from a
mind open to the joyous side of every
thing. and it is the actress one enjoys
not the airy, inane play, which merely
subserves the purpose of a vehicle TO set

finished. and 1T is done with conscien tious
adherence to the old school.
