NEARLY LOGO STAMPS.
Douglas Island Adds Another Immense Stamp Mill to it's
 List of Industries.
ID. o. MILLS ATTENDS.

Last Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock a hand was placed upon the lever and in moment 300 stamps added their thunderous applause to the success of practical mining on Douglas Island.
 The new mill is located near the old Treadweu mill and will handle ore from the original, great Treadwell mine. It is built lower down on the beach than the old mill so that cars loaded with ore run on nearly level track to the great bins of the new mill.
 The new plant in no way falls below the standard as to the character of its machinery, but rather takes an ad- vanced position in that respect, being fitted throughout with the most modern appliances. No invention known to practical miners for the handling of ore and extracting the gold, is omitted.
 Douglas Island can boast of having the largest mining plant in the world, operating the most stamps, handling the most ore. There are now nearly a thousand stamps on the Island in active operation, divided as follows: The old Treadweu 24O, the new mill just started 300, Mexican 12O, "Seven Hundred" 12O,and the Ready Bullion 80.
 The motive power for the new mill is furnished by a water wheel, operated by stream of water carried through large pipes or mains from large lake or reservoir up on the mountain a mile from the mill The supply of water is abundant and the pressure at the foot of the main is something terrific.
 The superintendency of the Tread we'll interests on Douglas Island have become too large to be placed in the hands of one man-Mr. Corbus having refused to accept such positiOn-so the work has been divided, and MT. J. P. Corbus will have charge of the old and new Treadwell, and MT. w. A. Rob- ison has been appointed superintendent of the Mexican, Ready Bullion and SeV- ell Hundred.
 The Alaska Treadwell Gold Mining Co. has reason to be proud of this the greatest mining plant in the world and the Treadwel mines as an example of what can be done with low grade ores is continually attracting the attention of capital to Alaska.
 MT. D. o. Mills, large stockholder and who is we'll known in financial cir cles in New York City, came up on the Cottage City and was present at the starting of the new mill, and was much pleased with every thing. MT. Mills is much interested in the growth of Doug las City and Treadwell and showed his interest in very substantial way by placing $50 in the hands of Rev. Wirt to be used toward paying the Congre- gational church debt.

"The Man with the Hoe. '"


 Edwin Markham, whoever he is, last January published in the San Fran cisco Examiner the following poem, written after seeing Millet's world fla nous painting in which is single fig ure, man, probably French or Italian peasant, leaning on his short handled clumsy hoe. McCIure's Magazine for May republishes the poem. We may be mistaken, but we believe the poem will live when even the great picture is forgotten. The sentiment is too pessl- mistic if he were speaking of the Amer can Iaborer alone, but he has expressed a great truth and uttered timely note of warning.
 Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans Upon his Toe and gazes on the ground, The emptiness of ages in his face, And on his back the burden of the world. Who made him dead to rapture and despair, thing that grieyes not and that never
 hopes,
 Stolid and stunned a brother to the OK? Who loosened and let down this brutal jaw! Whose was the hand that slanted back this
 brow?
 Whose breath blew out the light within his
 brain?
 Is this the thing the Lord God made and gave To have dominion over sea and land; To trace the stars and search the heavens for
 power;
 To feel the passion of eternity? Is this the Dream He dreamed who shaped
 the suns
 And pillured the blue Armament with light! Down all the stretch of Hell to its last gulf There is no shape more terrible than this More tougued with ccnsure of the world s
 blind greed More filled with signs and portentS for the
 soul
 More fraught with menace to the universe. What gulfS between him and the seraphim! Slave of the wheel of labor, what to him Are Plato and the swing of Pleiades! What the long reaches of the peaks of song, The rift of dawn, the reddening of the rose? Through this dread shape the suffering ages
 look;
 Through this dread shape humanity be-
 trayed, Phndered, profaned, and disenherited, Cries protest to the Judges of the World, protest that is also prophecy. o masters, lords, and rulers in all lands, Is this the handiwor1 you give to God, This monstrous thing distorted and soul
 Quenched?
 How will you ever straighten up this shape Touch it again with immortality; Give back the upward looking and the light Rebuild in it the music and the dream Make right the immemorial infamies, PerfidiouS wrongs, immedicable woes? o masters lords, and rulers in all lands How will the Future reckon with this Man! How answer his brute question in that hour When whirlwinds of rebellion shake the
 world?
 How will it be with kingdoms and with
 kings
 With those who shaped him to tho thing
 he is
 When this dumb Terror shall reply to God, After the silence of the centuries?

Church Benefit Entertainment.

The entertainment last Thursday evening at Ohman's Hall, under the auspices of the Endeavor society of the Congregational church, was a success socially, Intellectually, and financially. The audience was large, filling the hall; appreciative, encoring frequently, and pleased with everything. There was goodIy number from Juneau present and Miss Elsie Larsen, with her violin, and Mr. Thornton in his readings, both of whom were brought back second time, added much to the evenings en- joyment.
 The duet by Mrs. Ross and MT. Will Hams and the songs by Master Michael Flaharity struck popular chord.
 Mrs. Wm. Kelley's reading was pleas ing and artistic and was loudly ,ap- plauded.
 The fan drill was, however, the event of the first part ofthe evening. Twelve of the handsomest young ladies in Alas ka,all Douglas Island girls, too, logged out in dresses of dreamy azure, pink and other aurorial hues won the hearts of the audience. If they lacked any thing in their fan drill, which was very pretty and we'll executed, the defects were overlooked, and their bewitching appearance made up for all short com ings, if there were any.
 A solo by MT. Williams and duet by Esther Crofts and Adelle Sandman, to- gether with charming chorus by the young ladies completed the first part.
 The farce-comedy, "Dr. Cureall," kept the audience in good humor for an hour and was very cleverly handled. MT. Howell filled the new role with ease and grace and locked wise, and other wise, as the occasion required, with considerable success. Miss McKenna made the doctor an excellent office girl and the two did rushing busi- ness. Miss Esther Crofts as the young widow. and Miss Katherine Spiers as Miss Kate Rotchkiss did exceptionally we'll. The doctor rather took the audi ence by surprise when he kissed his office girl instead of his attianced bride. All played their parts with credit to themselves and the occasion.
 Two tableaux closed the second part.
 Ice-cream, cake and coffee were served after the dramatical exercises until the supply failed. The net proceeds of the evening were about S75.

The Sitka Alaskan in speaking of the new Alaska license law says: eve shall now have better argument than ev- CT for a representative in Congress" Now. there may be something in that.
 From the Sitka Alaskan we learn that Gov. Brady has decided to adopt q floral emblem for Alaska, and asks for suggestions from any who may be interested. As starter the Alaskan suggests the "Lillie of the Valley" If that's the way he is going to spell the Lily part, the matter should be refer red to the courts.

Sold to SIoss-Shefield Company
at $3.50 an Acre.
AN INVESTIGATION IS PROBABLE
Six Hundred and Forty Acres of These
Lands Are Now Leased for Five
Thousand Dollars a Year
Tuscaloosa Talk About 1t

| Tuscaloosa, November 15-(Specal) Tho
| facts regarding the sale of the University
| lands that have leaked out in the last day
or two have caused a senstion in Tuscloosa
and a feeling of indignation An attempt
was made to interview those who are con-
versant with the whole transaction, but the
answer given was that the deal was made
behind closed doors and the proceedings re-
quired to be kept private. 1t is known,
however, that 4,4O0 acres of University land
have been sold at $3.50 per acre to the
sloss-sheffield company and inquiry has
brought forth the following facts regarding
the value of the property: D.
In 1898 the president of the University in
his annual report to the board of trustees
set forth facts and figures taken from the
reports of the treasurer of the University
and the land commissioner showing the ad-
vantages of the lease system as adopted by
Colonel Hargrove at the Cahaba Southern
company's mine over sale of lands. These
reports show that the GAO acres of land at
| Hargrove, which are now operated by the
| Cahaba company, are yielding an annual
income of Sc, 900 to the University and it will
take twenty years to exhaust this-possiby
| longer; thus making a total of 100000 or
more for this section of land This re-
port was approved and resolution passed
Withdrawing all lands from the market.
The University has already received up
wards of $4,000 from the Cahaba lease OF
$40 acres, or about one-third as much as It
will receive from the 4,4OO acres sold to the
Sloss- Sheffield company.
It is said here by those in position to
know that the University is not in any need
of money at this time, and there is given no
reason for selling the land, the proceeds OF
which must, under the acts of congress and
the general assembly of Alabama, be in
vested in state or federal bonds, wldch Will
not yield over A per cent per annum Thus
it will be seen that the Cahaba lease of GAO
acres brings about 5000 income, while the
income from the sale ito the Sloss-Sh sfiield
company will only be 5000.
1t appears that the consensus of public
opinion is against THE sale of the lands, and
some pronounce 1T an outrage, and say that
history lis repeating itself, and the present
university lands are being frittered away
as were those first granted tine university.
Another rumor of interest and importance
is that all the trustees were not present at
the meeting which resulted in this deal.
and ,tfat two of those who were are l.nown
to have voted against It, Judge Rchard-
son made a speech tn opposition TO 1t. Il
is currently talked that tfre 400 acres are
sandwiohed between lands owned cy Gens
eral Rucker in which Governor Jol Lston
has am interest though the title is ra in
his name.

BUCHANAN'S DEATH
CAUSED BY STOVE
Tennessee Man Killed Near
Clanton as the Result
of a Dispute.

Clanton, November 15.-(Special Wv. N.
Buchanan, aged "a years and unmarried,
of Fayetteville. Tenn, was shot and in
stantly killed this afternoon by Wiley Fo-
shee at the latter's residence about three
miles north of Clanton.
Buchanan was delivering wrought iron
range stoves in this county, and it was for
this purpose he went to Foshees home /;
but some question as to the contract with
the selling agent arose. and Foshee refused
to receive the stove. 1t seems that Buch-
anan insisted upon leaving 1t, until angry
words were passed and threats made, when
Foshee ordered him to leave his place.
Foshees wife, who is in a delicate condi-
ton, is said to have been present during
the discussion, and tainted
AS soon as word was received here of the
sheriff, went to the scene and brought the
remains, the dead mans team and Foshee
to town. Foshee was found getting ready
to go to Clanton, and he surrendered volun-
tarily to Sheriff Cooley.
Foshee is a prosperous young farmer,
born and raised here, and has always been
considered peaceable. Nothing is known of
the character of the murdered man.
A preliminary trial will be had tomorrow
morning. Tonight the remains are at the
court house, and Mr.. Foshee is in charge of
the sheriff.
