county, where he and associates are

ore in large bodies. In fact the size OF
the ore bodies seems to be limited only

A MODEL MICA MINE.

The Morley group of mica claims, To-
Gated about p miles west of this city
and owned by II. j. and j. d. Orr, were
visited by a Chronicle reporter early in
the week. This promising property WAS
described in a former issue Of the
CHRONICLE at a time when its develop.
ment had just been commenced. The
predictions made at that time as TO the
merits Of the claim upon which work
had been commenced have been fully
confirmed by further development.
While the work Of exploiting this mine
has been necessarily slow on account of
the owners being unable to employ a
force ofmen TO assist them, fair headway
has been made considering the limited

The Grand Army OF the Republic
has empliatically refused to march
with ex-Confederate soldiers in the
parade which Is to take place In New
York on the 4th Of July. They say
they have great respect for the old
soldiers Of the South, but they will
not participate In anything that SO
much tends to etracc the loyalty,
bravery, sacrifices and death of Union
soldiers from the minds of the people.
The Confederate soldier should not
consider 1t a honor to march In par.
ade with the delectable organization
known as the Grand Army Of the Re.
public, whose sole object as an asso.
citation Is to filch the government OF
pensions, perpetuate the Republican
party In power and keep alive the hate
engendered by the civil war. PatrI.
otism, and not pelf, actuated the
Southern soldier in his struggle for
what he deemed to be right and Just.
