These camps will become quite popul-

to find out what fine time is in store
for them up in those mountains.
There is good Indication that the
White Oaks will have lots of ore to

Messrs. Eddy are employing about six
teen men to work on their copper prop
critics about sixty miles up the road,
and from the prospects at present they
have some good ore in sight.
Besides the above q good many pros
pectors have gone up into the Sacra-
mentO mountains of south eastern New
Mexico since the building of this
mountain branch of the road. Hereto
fore small claims would not have been
worth anything whereas now since the
road Ia being built into that part of the
country they can get good paying ore
out OF dirt which wouldn't have paid
before.
AS there is 50 much prospecting GO
ing on AlamogordO there is some talk

for the little town if we can only make

mountainous districts to pay them

it will be DONE" said an office.

I was riding along creek val ley where I was told lived a mountain preacher who had practical idea of what religion should do for those who expe- rienced it and had adopted odd ways of putting his ideas into practice. As reached rise in the road I saw at the bottom young man driving pig into a potato patch, and before I could reach him he had followed the pig through the narrow gate and was trying to drive it out again. It struck me as a peculiar pro- ceeding, and when I came opposite the gate l pulled up my horse and sat watch ing the young fellow and the pig. If you never tried to get a pig out of potato

An Appeal from the President
 Of Alabama Division U. D. c.

The Pelham Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy held an interesting meet ing yesterday at the home of the president, Mrs. Rose Garland Lewis. A delightful literary programme was enjoyed. Mrs. A. A. Clisby was elected treasurer to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mrs. Charles Brown. The secretary read the following appeal from Miss Sallie Jones, the president of the Alabama division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy; 'sThe Alabama Veterans and Daughters of the Confederacy are urged to assist in the erection of a incmfwyp shrdlu aoinn the erection in the city of Mobile Of monument to Admiral Semmes, the most distinguished Alabama hero in the war of secession. It has been too long delayed for the honor of the state.
 'I have just received a letter from Mobile saying the Semmes committee has secured 5000, and the ladies of Mobile hope to add $1,OOO this winter. The monument selected is a bronze statue on a marble pedestal, and will cost s6,OoO. The balance of s2,ooo should be raised at once by other Veterans and Daughters in Alabama. Surely the city of Birmingham might give $500 to honor Alabamas ilustrious son. Thanking 
 half of the monument, am, very truly.

these Geld coins are frequently met with in the until recently Spanish colonies. Not small bit of South American silver money, the Mexican dollar chiefly, is found in Cuba and Porto Rico. The value of the money is practically the same. These South American countries have today a modified peso or dollar. which Is in most cases equivalent to the 5-franc of France. Mexico's old Spanish peso is sometimes called the piece of reals. and in the United States where these dollars or pesos of Spain circulated long after their own coinage was introduced, the reals are to this day in some sections-south-yet called the bits-a bit is 121a cents.
 During the recent war the Spanish dollar or peso was worth about A cents--it bull lion value. As soon. however, as it be- came certain that Spain would lose her colonies in the West Indies the peso went up to 50 cents in our money. The question of adjusting the monetary system of the Philippines and West Indies so as to read just their old debts on fair and equitable basis has been problem to Uncle Sam. The government of the United States is careflly working out the knotty proposi- tion, however, so as to have 1t ready to in- troduce soon as Uncle Sam comes ip possession of his new territory as owner or as protector.

match vou can form no idea of what a job it is. and as I watched this young noun taineer patiently chasing the pig hither and yon, getting it well headed toward the gate only to have it double on him and go back into the patch again, time after time I began to wonder what manner of youth this was that had come into the mountains Finally, he brought 1t over very carefully, and as he got 1t almost out, it gave a sudden grunt and dodge, and into the patch again it went.
 "'Gosh darn the hog he said, pulling and blowing and hopping his face with his shirt sleeve.
 Why didn't you say that before?' asked, laughing.
 Excuse me, stranger, he said, noticing me for the first time. I didn't see you was thar,' and he blushed violently and seemed to be greatly confused.
 "Oh, that's all right hastened to say, I only wonder you didn't cuss the lard out of him.
 "well, I reckon I don't ker durn,' he said, I done the best knowed.'

MONEY OF THE
 WEST INDIES

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
 The expansion of Uncle Sans possess sions means that the money of this gov ernment will become tho current money Of Cuba. Porto Rico and the Philippines, and it will also exert in time a perceptible in- fluence upon the currencies of the entire West Indies and South Pacific archi- pelagoes.
 Spanish money has been and is now the exchange medium in the colonies she has just lost as a result of the recent war. Its values and denominations are little known by the people of the United States, not withstanding the close proximity of Cuba and Porto Rico to this country and the ex- tensfve commerce that has been going on between these islands and the United States for centuries.
 The peseta Is the unit of value in these islands When the Latin union adopted uniform money in 1858 Spain did not ad- here to it formally, but later adopted the peseta, which is equal in value to the French franc-20 cents in the money of Uncle Sam.
 The following is a table of the Spanish money in circulation in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines:
 One centissimo (copper), equal to one
The age-herald., 1898-11-10

 Five centissimo, centavor or l cent
 Five centavos, half-real of cents.
 Ten centavos 1 real or 10 cents (silver)
 One hundred centissimos or 20 centavos (silver.)
 One hundred centissimos or 20 centavos (silver) peseta or 20 cents (silver).
 Five pesetas (silver), peso (dollar or 100 cents.
 Two and onc-half pesetas (silver). escu- dos or 50 cents.
 Ten escudos (silver). doubloon (gold) or s5.
 Five pesos (gold), one doublon or s5.
 Ten pesos (gold), doubloons or $lO.
 There is also the half-peso, which is equal to 50 cents. The media reales are silver coins similar in size and value to our 5-cent and 10-cent pieces. The centissimo pieces are like the French centimes. The doubloons (gold) are very scarce. Seldom are any of them seen in the Antilles. They pass anywhere for their face value G5), while the silver money does not in this country. In addition to the coin money, bank notes in denominations of 25 05). 50 $1o). 100 s2O). 800 GOO, 1000 (s2oW pesetas, issued by he Bank of Spain through its branch banks at Havana, San Jush and Manila, are in circulation and pass current at about 50 per cent discount, though they are notes of legal tender.
 While there is yet comparatively little of Uncle Sams money in these islands, it passes current readily at premium of 50 cents.

garten would not come under the super vision of the United Charities, but the Fe- lection of the children would be left to the discretion of the society.
 A kitchen garten includes the industrial features that recommend such an institu- ton in many ways. The pupils are taught cooking, sewing, the washing of dishes, making of beds and other practical work. The methods are similar to those employed in kindergarten systems, and a kitchen garten established in Birmingham would be wise and humane step in the cause of philanthropy.
 The regular monthly meeting of the di- rectors will be held hereafter on the first Tuesdays in the month.
 At the meeting yesterday Mrs J. c. Hen- ley was elected vice president of the United Charities. The recently elected suprin- tendent is Mrs. H. M. Johnson.
