MINING NOTES.

The recent publication of the
terms of the traffic arrangement be-
tween Carnegie and Rockefeller, as
they appeared in the agreement for
the sale of the ore in the Stevens
mine, is regarded by vesselnen as
Of great importance, and they are
considered to practically settle the
ore rate for next season. At the
present cost of unloading ore at
receiving ports thatrate of 30 cents,
plus the unloading charges, is
equivalent to about 10 cents, but it
is figured that if the ore rate goes
down, the cost of unloading will
have to go down too, and that will
make the rate about 66 cents. While
this is much lower than this years
rate Of $1.25 for contract tonnage,
yet vesselmen seem relieved to
know just what to look for, and
there is not nearly SO much dissat-
isfaction with the reduced rate as
might be expected. They all know
that, between them, Carnegie and
Rockefeller can fix any rate they
want to, and they are pleased that
they have agreed on a rate that
leaves margin of profit, at least
for the big boats. The vessel is
assured so cents clear for each ton
that it carries, and that is consider
| ed as a fair rate under the circum-
stances. ;. -~-~----:
A new unloading machine has
been installed on the Carnegie ore
dock at Conneaut, O. The machine,
a powerful but simple affair, handl-
es a clam shovel that holds ten tons
of ore. Three of these machines
working on big vessel will unload
5000 net tons of ore in seven hours.
This is about half the time oCcu-
pied by other machines, and there
is an actual saving in men of over
one-half. The scoop, Of which Car
negie has exclusive control, is a
material factor in shortening the
time and expense of converting the
raw material into finished product.
1t is operated by steam, and all the
dock managers on the lakes are
watching it with great interest.
A mining lease has been filed in
the office of the register of deeds by
| which Laura "A. and Leonard A
Day lease to George F. Long the
west half of the southwest quarter
of section 35-58-20 for 20 years from
Aug. l, 1900. The lease is given for
the purpose of mining and re1nov-
ing iron ore and the royalty is to
be 25 cents per ton on a minimum
annual output of $1,000 tons.
| More men are needed by J. E.
Erickson on his contract on the
Stony Brook line of the Great
Northern road. He is now filing a
large sink hole on the section of
road he is grading and in order to
complete his contract on time
needs more help.
| Superintendent Geo. w. Wallace,
of the Fayal mine at Eveleth, has
resigned his position as superin-
tendent of that property and will
shortly remove with his family tC

WAS PLEASED WITH AMERICUs
Former Citizen Says it is Best In
Georgia.

Everybody in Americus knows that
we have one of the best towns IN Geor
gia, and when citizens of other towns
tell us so the fact is particularly pleas
ing. A day or two ago former NOR
chant of Americas, now travelling
salesman for a large manufacturing
house, was here, and expressed the
greatest qualification at the evidences
of business thrift and prosperity every
where visible. He said that Americas
merchants were doing more business
than those in several other towns of
like size which he visits; that they car
ry larger and handsomer stocks, and
their stores would reflect credit upon
any city in Georgia. Business now,
he said, appeared to be far better than
at any time during his residence of
several years here some time since,
And what he said was true, every
word of it.

AMATEURS IN EXCELLENT BILL.
Performance Last Night Was Enjoyed
by Audience.

But for the extremely inclement
weather packed house would have
greeted the amateur minstrels last
night in the benefit performance in
aid of the Galveston fund, but several
hundred ventured out anyway and en-
ioYed to a great extent the really ex-
celIent bill presented.
And q neat sum was realized there
from for the storm stricken Texans.
The first part showed the entire COM
pany as "The Shirtwaist Men at
Home" and was indeed excellent.
There were six end men and sixty new
and catchy songs and jokelets.
Harvey Weaver as interlocutor sus-
tanned himself admirably and might
have been mistaken for professional.
In this part the Apollo Quartette sang
very sweetly. while the songs render
ed by members of the company charm
ed the apprecIative audience as well,
as evidenced by the applause.
The part concluded with a patriotic
rendition OF ''The Blue and Gray"
The other features of the show, par
ticuIarly the burlesque entitled CDR.
Smiths Corpse" and the joint debate
between Weaver and Oargill on the
presidential situation, were very good.
In fact, the entire programme was
pleasing and only lack of space and
time forbid further particularizing.
The Mandolin Club rendered several
fine selections during the evening.

AMER1CUs MONEY ON ELECTION
Many Wagers Made on the Result in
Atlanta.

Americas people manifested quite a
lively interest yesterday in the Atlanta
election and not few tens and fves
were put up on the result between
Minis and Rice for the mayoralty,
these having been sized up as winners
by the sporting element here. NJ
merous kilograms and telephone mes
sages were sent in quest of tips upon
the situation there, and interest re-
NAMED at high pitch here until the
polls were closed. The count pro-
crossed slowly last night. At $50
o'clock, when the Americus Office
closed, Minis was $50 ahead of Rice
and his election was claimed by his
friends.

STILL FLIRTs WITH THE TRADE
Fluctuations in Cotton Continue Very
Slight,

Americus warehouses received only
377 bales of cotton yesterday. Friday
is the busiest day of the week at this
season and usually cotton receipts are
heaviest on that day, and yesterday s
receipts, unusually small, might indi-
cate "the beginning of the end" SO far
as the crop is concerned. However,
the bad weather may have been re-
sponsibIe to some extent, and if the
weather today is fair receipts may be
better. Ten cents was paid for the
better grades of cotton here yesterday
morning, but a declining market in
the afternoon cut it shade below that
figure. Contracts declined ten or
twelve points and showed some little
weakness.
