York, who has bond on a Shasta
county, Cal, property, says: 'There
is a noticeable gain in the popularity
of Western mining securities in the
East. With the introduction of scien-
tific and business methods in the con-
duct of mining enterprises and the i'm
provements in the methods of treat
ment, mining has been made business
as much as a speculation. 1t is begin
ming to be recognized that mining
enterprise is made successful by putting
men of scientific training and the
widest possible experience at the head
of operations and business men of ca
pacity at the business end. There is,
in consequence, a strong movement
towards mining as a business. -
a company has been formed at Daw-
son to buy machinery at Nome; to
send d representative to Nome and
wherever he finds any stranded miners
to pay their fare back home for their
machinery. Late arrivals from Nome
have reported that thousands of tons
of valuable machinery are lying on the
beach covered by the high tides and
being covered by the drifting sands.
This machinery was taken to Nome to
work the beach and cost thousands of
dollars. Those who took this machin-
cry to Nome did not doubt that the
gold was there, and their only doubt
was as to whether the machinery would
have large enough capacity. Thous-
ands of feet of hydraulic hose are lying
on the beach at Nome. This hose was
manufactured to run out into the surf,
and, by attaching an engine, to suck
the sand inward. Nearly every arrival
had some scheme to get the gold that
was in keeping with their imaginary
powers. The steam boilers that are on
the Nome beach and other machinery
of that description will find a ready
market along the Yukon, and the
thousands of feet of hose will be used
as pipe line to get water to the Anvil
and other creek claims.

Waddell For Senator.

To the Editorials you have kindly
opened the columns of your great paper
to the people and to the managers Of the
campaigns of Senatorial aspirants to ex-
press their opinions as to that citizen
who is at this time best qualified to
serve the people of North Carolina and
the United States in the Senate, which
to my mind is in many respects the
highest legislative body in the world, l
write, but not as the friend of any candi-
date, for personal friendship should not
govern us in the selection of high polit-
zeal officers, but considering who is best
qualified to serve the State and country
in the Senate at this time. 1 am pleased
at the tone of the various correspondents
who have expressed a choice for Senator
in giving each candidate due praise.
shall not attempt to forestall public SEN
timent by proclaiming that the contest
is narrowed to two of the distinguished
gentlemen who are candidates.
/ desire the ablest and wisest man and
greatest statesman in the State for Sen
ator, especially one learned in those de-
partments of knowledge which Senator
has to deal with. l believe one who has
had experience in public life can best
speaker his influence will be greater.
Our candidates for Congress from this
State are all, or nearly ALL of the young
er men, which makes it most important
that the Senator should be a man of
large experience in public affairs. To
my mind there is one who in some re-
spects stands like Saul of old above all
his compeers, and who has seen much of
public life and always been true to the
interest of the people. One whose elo-
quent voice is heard in every political
campaign from one end Of the State to
the other advocating the principles of
Democracy. He is by many, if not by
common consent, regarded as the States
greatest living orator. The foregoing
description without naming him will
identify Alfred NJ Waddell and belev-
ing he is best able to serve the State and
country at this time l am for him for
Senator. If Mr.. Waddell can best serve
us, as l believe he can let us join to-
gether in placing this gifted statesman
and eloquent speaker in the Senate
where he can best serve us and his
country, and we will by doing so prove
that the party acted wisely in leaving
the selection of Senator to the people.

tBy the Associated Pross.)


Washington, Sept. 1S.-Fonowing is
the weekly summary of crop condi-
tons issued by the Weather Bureau:
1.-The droughty conditions in the
Atlantic coast districts have been re-
lieved by the abundant rains, which,
however, came too late to be of mate
rial benefit to many crops. Drought
continues in the Ohio and Central
Mississippi valleys and portions OF
the lower lake region.
Heavy rains have caused damage to
cotton in South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida and Alabama. No improve
ment in the condition of cotton is re-
ported from the Central portion of the
cotton belt, except in Southern Louis
lana where, as whole, the prospects
are somewhat better, while in Texas
the tropical storm of the Sth and 9th
completely destroyed the crop in the
southern portion of its path and dam
aged it in the central, and northern
portions. Outside of the storm area
cotton made favorable progress in
Texas, although insects caused dam
age in some localities. The reports
generally indicate that cotton is open
ing rapidly and that picking is well
advanced and will be completed at a
much earlier date than usual.
Tobacco cutting where unfinished,
has progressed fayorably, nearly the
whole of the crop being cured, Penn
sylvania, Maryland. Virginia and
Kentucky being. the only States in
which cutting has. not been finished.

Carr For Senator.

To the Editor:-I desire to state briefly
some reasons why Gen. Julian S. Carr is
my choice for United States Senator,
choice which for the first time has been
deferred to the people of the State
If you consider his claims from the
standpoint of party service, no man can
better measure up to the mark For
more than twenty years he has given
more literally of his means to the sup
port of the Democratic party than any
man in the State. He has also given
literally of his time as we'll, which in
many instances was more valuable to
him than money.
Again, Gen. Carr has been, and is now,
an untiring advocate and enthusiastic
supporter of the educational advance
ment of our State. Public schools, pri
vate schools, colleges both male and
female of all denominations, and the Uni
versity have benefited by his generosity.
These facts are well known to the people
of the State. If our State is ever to
reach and hold high position among her
sister States along educational lines, and
if her educational advancement is to
keep pace with her great industrial pro-
gress, it can be no better accomplished
than by placing such men as Gen. Carr
in high official position, where their in
fluence will be greater and their power
for usefulness increased.
Gen. Carr is also thoroughly identified
with the industrial interests of our State.
A business man himself, he would guard
carefully the business interests of our
State. His sagacity and ability is evil
denced by his great success as a business
man, and it seems to me only right
and proper that we should have such a
man, provided he is otherwise we'll quail
fed, as Gen. Carr undoubtedly is, to
represent us in the highest legislative
halls of our nation.
Gen. Carr is also identified very large
ly with the agricultural interest of our
State, and has always shown himself
to be the true friend and benefactor of
the farmer and laboring class of our
people.
His generous solicitude, friendship for
and watchful care of the old Confederate
soldier is known and read of all men. He
has never forgotten, and never will for
get. the boys who fought side by side
with him in the greatest army the world
has ever seen.
born soldier, good man. true
friend, worthy citizen, faithful Demo-
crat--Gen. Carr will make a splendid
Senator, and add new honor to old North
Carolina.
Very truly,
ASHLEY HORNE.
