EASTERN ARGUS.
100000.
DAILY and WEEKLY

In issuing it's prospectus for it's ninety sew
enth yea "the old Argus" has but brlhy to re-
hearse an ofttod tale of increasing prestige
and success. Devoted to Maine interests 1t
has grown with the States growth until to-day
it may almost be classed as State institution.
u Underwriting throughout almost century in
it's fealty to Jeffersonian principles the Argus
fully maintains he position it has won as the
leading Democratic paper Of Maine. Broad in
it's views, fair in tone, universal In its scope OF
information and clean in character, IL is well
coined in thousands OF Maine homes and the
ing. As newspaper the Argus is fully
abreast OF the times in completeness OF equip.
ment in all it's departments. Its general news
service includes The fullest telegraphic ACC
cable dispatches, presenting In well arranged
form all the worlds news OF the day. rs local
and State news cover thoroughly the First
District and the whole State; its market and
ship news reports are unequalled in Maine.
The circulation OF the Argus is now larger
than ever before and the coming year prom
paign upon which we are about to enter will
be one OF unparalleled interest ana intensity.
New issues are crowding to the front which
touch the fundamental principles OF the Re-
public, priD CT pies of which the Argus will be
as always the answering defender. 1t will
national lite than ever before. To that end 1t
will seek to give All the News, while its
columns will be enlivened by all the attractive
features that have made 1t one OF the brightest
and best of Family papers.
The mechanical facilities OF the Argus ONCE
for producing frst-class modem newspaper
were never perfect and "up-to-date" as
they are to-day including complete outfit
for artistic illustrative work by the Arguss
own artist. In short no pains or expense will
be spared the coming year to maintain the
standing of the Eastern Argus in Iront rank
of New England newspapers.

Riches In the TransvaaI.

The yield of these Kimberley diamond
mines is said to average about tifty.tive
hundred carats a day. They furnish
ninety-five per cent of the worlds
diamonds. Mr.. KunZ of Tifftnls,
estimates that so far nine and half TONS
worth three hundred million dollars in
the rough aud double that when polish
ed, nave been taken out of the Klmher
ley "yellow" and "blue." Ga nominal
capital of less than twenty millions. the
DeBeers company pays annual dividends
# fifty per cent.
But the record of Kimberley should
not obscure the fact that elsewhere in
South Africa there are "infinite riches in
little ROOM" For instance, the largest
diamond known to exist was found at
Jagersfontein. eighty miles away gem
two and u half inches long, one and
quarter inches thick and two inches wide
weighing nine hundred and seventy-oue
carats, or nearly half pound aVoir-
dupois. And in many parts of South
Africa gold is plentiful, notably in the
Witwatersrand region of the Transvaal.
When the present war began the Trans
vaal was yielding annually about sixty
million dollars worth of gold-or more
than one fifth of the worlds production,
of which, by the way, the United States
is credited with nearly sixty millions.
Conservative authorities have estimat'
ed that, carried down to depth of four
thousand feet, the Rand mines will Weld
in all more than three and half billion
dollars y orth OF gold, of which almosts
third will represent clear profit.

given their decision on the hearing held
at Portland, on the petition of the Cape
Elizabeth Electric Railroad company for
permission to construct line from
Cash's Corner in South Portland to

grounds being that there is no such

it having long ago disposed of all its
property and for the past three years
failed to report to the State.

cent bonds due at that date. Eighteen
bids were received from Boston, Chica
go, Bangor, Portland, Pennington and

paid for municipal bonds in this State,

and will bring down the interest rate to
.0315. The city 'financiers are much
pleased at their deal.

unusual one, which caused severe in
juries to two men occurred at Sanford,
Thursday afternoon, when horse
which was being led by Moses Rankin,
aged 90 and Robert, rs years, his son,
nearly trampled them to death. When
about to open the barn door, the blaze
of the lantern flickered for an instant,
frightening the horse. Rearing upon
his hind legs, the animal struck right
and left, prostrating both men. Wild
with rage he next dragged the old man
around tearing bis clothes to pieces.
The old gentleman was found to have
both ankles and the left wrist broken,
the right wrist and arm badly mangled
and he had several severe scalp wounds.
The young mans legs were paralyzed

lacerated. Both men will recover.
