|, FROM THE MINES
The Mastodon Iron GO.

IL will be but few days nov when the
interests OF the Mastodon Ironcompany
on the east side OF the county will be no
more. While the company had trans
ierred the scene OF active operations 80
the other end OF the county several
years ago, yet they left much machinery
and belongings on the old Mastpdon
property and Capt. Roberts family con
tinued TO reside at the mine. Orders
have been issued to remove all OF the
machinery and what houses II wdl bee
practicable TO move at once 10 the
Dober property in Stambaugh township.
Ole Hager has taken the contract TO
place the material on the cars and il
working at the job now. Only the small
exploring machinery had been taken
leaving the large hosting engines, drums
and boilers to 90 this trip.
The Dober il showing up beyond the
most sanguine expectations Of the com
pany both as TO the size Of the ore body
aud quality OF the ore. The cargo
analyses of the ore shipped the pnst
year gave CLIO per cent iron. The
company has decided TO open the prop
orty up this winter and get II IN shape
Tor large output next season. Tie
exact dimensions OF the ore body and
the location Of the enclosing walls have
not been determined and the work
underground is now being directed 70
prosecuting the ore deposit Tor the
above mentioned purposes. width oil
nearly 100 feet has been attained on the
second level and yet no wall has been
met with. As soon as the foot wall is
found, "A large working shaft will bcstart-
ed and completed in time for shipping
next spring. The present shaft is but a
small exploring opening in the ole body
and is inadequate for hosting purposes.
rhe opinion is expressed by all mining
men, that the Dober will develop into
the largest and most valuable body OF
ore IN the Iron River district

WON'T HAVE TO PAY.
The Southern Express Company Will
 Stand the War Tax

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 2.-The patrons of the Southern Express company in Georgia will not in the future be required to pay for the revenue stamps affixed to the bills of lading issued by the company. The send CTS of messages over the Western Union Telegraph company will continue to pay the 1 cent war tax.
 The Georgia railroad commission .decid d the two cases in reference to the expres and telegraph companies today. The de- cision was against the former, but favor able to the latter.
 Able and elaborate opinions were ren- dered in each case by Judge Spencer R. Atkinson on behalf of the commis sion.
 It was held that the express company in issuing a bill of ladng was required to put a stamp upon 1t in order to make it legal, and that the company had no right to exact the cost of the stamp from the shipper. The commission takes the posi- tion that by requiring the cent tax to be paid by the shipper the express company is in principle as much guilty of an over charge as if it exacted $100 in each case.
 In the case of the Western Union the commission held that the company was not required to receive message until it was stamped It does not become legal message until the sender puts the revenue stamp upon it.

CARRIED HIMSELF.
Florence Officials Novel Scheme to Han
 dle an Insane Patient.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Tuscaloosa, Aug. 2.-Ex-Sherif Carson, of Lauderdale county was brought here yesterday for treatment at the Alabama Bryce insane hospital, together with an- other patient in charge of Messrs. Grove and Anderson.
 In order not to excite Carson or to cause his family distress by forcible bringing him from his home, very novel scheme was adopted.
 Carson had frequently brought other pa tients to the hospital and so it was de- cided to induce him to come to Tuscaloosa under the impression he was bringing an- other patient. The plan orked beautifully and Anderson, who is one Of the city ofn- cers of Florence, had the papers Tor the patient, and Carson came as his assistant Crowe was coming on a visit to relatives on the road and at MT. Carsons urgent request decided to accompany the party on to Tuscaloosa. Of course, Carson didn't know that the man he was urging to come on had papers for his own incarceration in his pocket.
 The trip was made without much trouble, Carson never once suspecting how things were and it is said no man could have acted any more saney.
 He never saw how things were until after arriving at the hospital and the other pa- tient was turned over. Then when the papers were drawn on him his astonish- ment knew no bounds. He said that his home duties called him, that it was im- possible for him to stay, and rendered a good many reasons for not being kept, but it was no good. He had to stay. It is thought that his stay at the hospital will not necessarily be very long. When he is out again, he will probably view with sus- picion any proposition connected with the hospital at any time.
