ACTIVITY IS GREAT
Prosperity Set In at the Silver
Cliff Mining District.

In an interview with G. w. Neff
this morning the following facts
were cleaned regarding the oondi-
tions Of the Silver Cliff mining
district:
More prospecting is being done
at present than at any time dur
ing the past twelve years. A new
copper district is being opened up
five miles south Of Rosita and work
on it is being pushed. One of the
claims in that vicinity was bonded
to Denver firm who will go to
work at developing the property
at once.
The new town has not been
named yet and probably will not
be until the work is developed
more. There are four houses al
ready built and a number of tents
are pitched. A small force ofmen
are at work on mum Der of claims,
The Novem Der pay roll of the
Bassick mine was the largest in
the history of the reorganization
of the company, and was some
thing like $500.
The prospecting that is being
done now is not on account of II
prospective railroad, but on ac-
count of the faith that is pinned to
the camp as a producer. A num-
ber of abandoned claims have
been taken up and are being
developed.
The MacCraney property was
sold two months ago to Des
Moines capitalists. The shaft is
at depth of sixty feet and the
vein is four feet wide. The ore
carries values to the amount of S5l
in silver and lead, 81 in gold ano
: small per cent in copper. New
machinery will be installed.
Mr.. Neff will return in day o.
two to his mining interests II
Huerfauo county and will remaii
until Christmas.

A New Association.

About the latest thing at Colo
RADIO Springs is the formation of a
Gentlemen's Riding and Driving
association. The owners of well
bred horses in that city have been
discussing the wisdom of organic
ing such an association for some
time past. Matinees will be held
for the present, but it will branch
out into larger ventures later.

IMPRESSIVE SERVICES
 AT ST. PAUL'S CHURCH
Most Solemn Ceremonies of Holy Week Begun Last Night-Ofices of
 the Tenebrae

Beginning with Wednesday of Holy Week. the solemnities of the Catholic church become more and more dolorous Last night at St. Pau1s the services in cluded the Tenebrae-the Maths and Lauds for Maundy Thursday. First there was the Rosary, this devotion being led by the Rev. Father Burns.
 Following the Rosary was a sermon by the Rev. Father Wright, from the text: "Christ died for us, and delivered Himself for us" The preacher began by saying that stories of sorrow usually fascinated one more than stories of triumph With this idea in mind, he sketched the Passion of the Redeemer, and pictured the dead Christ looming now in the shadows Of the church's mourning. Pathetically Father Wright told of the scenes leading to the crucifxion, and portrayed tenderly and graphically the last act, of the tragedy. This tragedy on the cross, he said caused the Saviour to drop tears of blood; yet in 1t there was infinite love.
 Father Wright made deep impression upon the congregation. His discourse was clothed in language at once chaste and strong while many of his flights of elo- ouence were most dramatic and stirring.
 After the sermon the offices of the Tene- brae were begun. The Maths were intoned antephonally, three priests siluhs at one side of the sanctuary and two sitting at the other side On the high altar six can dles of black wax were lighted and the candelabra in front of the altar contained many candles--all of brown wax, except the larger candle in the center, which was of pure white. During the prayers of the services the candles were extinguished two by two, by an altar boy, leaving only the great white candle alight
 When it came to the Lamentations of Jeremiah, Father Wright advanced to the center of the sanctuary and sang in Gre gorian chant the first Lamentation. Father Kennedy sang the second, and Father Rob- ert, O. s. B., sang the third, all of the clergy chanting in unison: "Recordata est

Pettus as saying it is the worst bill ever introduced. He can't discredit his own witness, and Pettus and his son and the whole generation are for Morgan. He says Morgan keeps the Nicaragua canal before the people to secure his return to the United States senate, and says there has never been a spadefui of dirt removed from the canal. The governor is ignorant of what has been done. The Maritime Canal company did enough work to ask congress to pay $2000.000. Morgan is the leading advocate of the canal, and has worked hard and faithfully for 1t for years. It is a great work, and it takes a long time to accomplish it.
 Morgan has been Johnston's friend, and tried to elect him governor over me- and has always been his friend until John ston wanted to go to the United States senate.
 ''The question is not whom you can serve best but who can serve you best, and when you have an old and faithful servant who has served you well you don't want to swap him off for an untried one or for a mustang or an old mule.'
 General Oates took up the constitutional convention question, saying that 1t was needed to rid Alabama of certain evils that now beset her people. He alluded to elee- ton frauds, and said that corruption in elections spread to corruption In other things and that 1t was contrary to the theory of good government. He said the necessity for stealing ballots had passed away, and that if it continued the time would come when Alabama would be Ken tuclxyized, perhaps worse.
 Concluding, he said: ''I have seen good deal of the state and haven't shadow of a doubt of what the result will be next Saturday. It will be the return of Old Man Eloquent to the senate"
 General Oates was frequently interrupted with applause and when he said he had no doubt of Morgan's reelection the ap- plause was deafening.

 Question of Opinion
 (Which opinion?,' asked MT. Richardson. "Give us both opinions, and l will take my choice" Laughter).
 This is his official report" said Mir Deliver. -.z.. Did he not, in his sworn testimony be- fore the insuIar committee, recommend free trade?' asked Mr. Richardson. ss.= MT. Deliver read General Davis, opinion and also the opinion of Dr. Carroll, the presidents confidential agent.

 In conclusion he dismissed as beneath contempt the charge of bribery as the mos tive for this bill. He had well accuse MT. Richardson of corruption for introduce ing resolution to place raw sugar on the free list. This was a republican measure, he said, endorsed by the republican presi- dent and the republican leaders.

"A Pain Remedy.
 For over fifty years this wonderful renn- edy has proved itself the best, safest and surest antidote for pain in the world.
 The True Relief, RhDWhy'S READY RELIEF
 For Internal and External Use.
 In using medicines to stop pain we should avoid such inf1ict injury the system. Opium, morphine, chloroform, ether, CO., caine and chloral stop pain by destroying the sense of perception, the patient losing the power of feeling. This Is a most de- structive practice; 1t masks the symptoms, shuts up, and. instead of removing trouble, breaks down the stomach, liver and bowels, and if continued for length of time, kills the nerves and produces local or general paralysis.
 There is no necessity for using these un- certain agents when positive remedy like RADWAY'S READY RELIEF will stop the most excruciating pain quicker, without entailing the least danger in either Infant or adult.

Jerusalem," etc. This was profoundly i'm pressive.
 The Tenebrae included also lessons from the New Testament and the patristic meeting At the intoning of the "Mis- erere," an acolyte bore the large white light from the sanctuary. This ceremony was followed by the clapping of hands to indicate the confession that followed the crucifixion. In due time the light was re- turned to the sanctuary. The Benedictus was then sung by the clergy.
 The Tenebrae was followed by the bene- diction of the blessed sacrament, with Father OReilly as celebrant.
 After the o'clock mass this morning the procession of the blessed sacrament will take place.
 Tonight at 7:30 the Tenebrae will be sung and will embrace the Maths and Lauds and the Lamentations for Good Friday.

Newbern, n C, Dee. 6.-The conference
net at $50 O'Clock this morning, Bishop
Morrison presiding. After the opening
prayer the twentieth question which re-
l&tes 10 the character and standing of the
clergy was taken up. AS each minister's
name was called the presiding elder of
lis district arose and reported that the
minister's life and conduct were blame
less. When a presiding elders name was
called some minister we'll acquainted with
tie elder in question made a similar re-
/ ort.
The only addresses made at today's sas-
sion We're by Bishop Morrison and DR..
John c. Kilgo. The bishops remarks
were brief. his subject being Womaa's
work in foreign and domestic missions.
His address, though brief, was interesting
ii the extreme. DR.. Kilgo's address was
more lengthy and elaborate. He began by
thanking the conference for the resolution
lassed at yesterdays session in his be-
half. and expressed his sincere appre-
cation of their action. He referred to
the ordeal through which he had just
passed at Oxford. but appeared to think
it a part of every Christians duty to
suffer, trials and tribulations. He spoke
Of the experience of both Christ and st.
/ aul how Christ was tried, convicted and
crucified and how ST. Paul was imprison-
ed and made to suffer for his religion.
Rev. T. J. Gattis was invited to address
the conference. but for various reasons
declined the invitation. DR.. Gattis is ex-
tremely popular with the people of New
TERN. His friends here are numerous,
and scarcely a moment passes but that
some one stops him to shake his hand and
express his qualification at the outcome
OF the trial at Oxford.
The following incident will serve
to show the feeling of consid-
crate regard which our people en-
terrain toward him. The night of his
arrival there was some misunderstanding
IN regard to the room which DR.. Gattis
/ was to occupy at Carolina Inn.
