From the Opelika Industrial News.

FTOm the Ope11Ka 1nduStTla1 NeWS.
 Sundays Birmingham Age-Herald came to us in the shape of-aH extra edition of thfrty-two pages. In every particular we consider it the finest paper ever gotten out in Alabama. In all the details of it. it was excellent. Brilliant in conception, perfect in detail, ample in scope, broad and com prehensive, perfect in execution, it was indeed marvel of journalism. The paper was carefully prepared, brilliantly illus trated and splendidly gotten up, and Ala bama has just cause to be proud of this paper. which marks the utmost progress that an Alabama paper has yet made.

 The Age-Herald issued an anniversary edition on last Sunday. The present man. agement of that paper has been in charge only one year, but in that time it has been the leading paper in point of news service in the south. The Age-Herald is the best paper in the state today and should be in the home of every citizen of Alabama who reads a daily. If the management would the state on the day of publication they would find the people of Colbert appreciate the enterprise and progressiveness of the paper.

ABOUT POLITICS
 AND POLITICIANS

Alabama never gets a rest from political campaigns with the present system of fre- quent elections. Upon the close of the state campaign resulting in such brilliant vic- tory for democracy, comes the congression- al campaign. This will not prove very heated campaign, however, except in two or three districts. In several districts there will probably be no opposition to the dem ocratfc nominees.
 In the election held last Monday every congressional district in the state gave good democratic majorlties, and they will again so vote in November. All were dem- ocratic in 1896, save the Seventh. In four there will be heated contests for the nomi- nations.

MOOSE CREEK
Waking Up From It's Rip Van
Wrinkle Snooze.
ONCE A BUSY CAMP
Moose City Is Now But a Decayed
Ruin-Discovered That Gold Exists
in Paying Quantities Outside
the Main Channel.

According to the stories brought in
by prospectors from the district. Did,
deserted Moose Creek, is about to
emerge from a Rip Van Wrinkle snooze
and once again take its place among
the placer gold producers of the state.
Thirty years ago Moose Creek was a
~pretentious rival of the famous High
land gulch. it's neighbor just over the
hill, where hundreds of thousands of
dollars in gold circulated among a nun
bred or two miners. In those days
Moose was worked from the head of
the creek down its channel a distance
of four miles. A few tributaries yield
ed a fair share of the districts pro-
ceeds, but the greater part of the de-
velopment work was confined to the
channel of the gulch. Moose City"
was a typical mining camp, busy and
full of dust" Now IL is only a de-
cayed ruin. a scattered plot of rotten
logs serving as a fertilizer for a rich
growth of bunch n rye grass. The
sluice heaps are huge beds Of rose and
gooseberry bushes. Some of them are
surmounted by cottonwood trees 10 or
Is feet tall. Nearly every evidence of
early development of the placers has
been removed by Dame Nature, who
has fringed the banks of the pits with
s%hrubbery and made a veritable garden
of the tail races. The average mar
would traverse the extent of the gulch
and not encounter a reminder of the
fact that il had, 80 years ago. been
overturned by the miners pick and
shovel.
Here and there are signs of work of
recent years, and on the bars can be
seen fresh dirt" 1t is here that the
discovery was made this summer that
gold exists in paying quantities out
side of the main channel. 1t has been
demonstrated that money is to be made
in bar diggings henceforth as well as 1t
was in working the bed of the creek
80 years ago. Hence the probability
of a large output of gold next sum-
mer.
Hugh Carter, a prospector and miner
of experience, was in the city yester-
day after a wager load of provisions
for his camp and will return to-day.
1t Is his intention to open a cut for
a bedrock fume and set the boxes ana
be in readiness for early operations in
the spring. To a Standard reporter
Yesterday, Mr.. Carter said:
There are probably a dozen men
working in a primitive way on the bars
up near the head of the fork approach
ing the divide which separates the dis
trict from Highland. They have found
gold in payinE quantities. heavy shot
gold. i'm fineness similar to that OF the
Highland article. Our ground pans ou'
better than any | have seen in recent
years, n l am satisfied that big
money is to be made there
