plant was pronounced by him as unsala-
ble The bill filed yesterday asks the
court ito grant permission to have the

According to Dr. Cameron Alabama Is an El
Dorado.

DR.. H. ]. Cameron. of Alexander City,
was in the city last night. He said that
the country around Alexander City and
Hefiin, Ala, has brighter future before
1t in the way of gold and copper mining
than any country in the world. He has
prospected for gold and silver in all parts
of the world-South Africa, Central
America, Mexico and on the Yukon river
in Alaska, but according to his visws
none of these countries have as much
rich ore as the country around Hefiin.
''The gold in Alabama" h5 said, lis
found in quartz formation. There are
no placer deposits. The La Mascota
stamp mills are located near Alexan-
der CITY"
DIR. Cameron has purchased shoes
and dies" in this city and the mills
which have been idle while. waiting for
the machinery, will resume operations
at once. $50 far" DIR. Cameron con-
tinued, "the results of our mining opera
tions have ben very satisfactory. We
have been put to some trouble" he added,
Heretofore on account of having to send
away for our machinery, but that incon-
yenience will be obviatad by the Hardy
Tynes Foundry and Machinery COM
pany who hereafter will manufacture
shoes" and dies" and devote especial
attention to gold stamp mills Accord
ing to DIR. Cameron more gold and cop
per stamp mills will be erected in Ala
bama during the next year, than any
where else in the world.
He thinks that a veritable gold boom,
eelipsing th+ Klondyke will break on
Alabama in short time.
