RAIL WAY LINES
 MAY BE EXTENDED Plan to Reach Sayreton and
 Mary Lee Mines A GREAT CONVENIENCE Scheme ls to Build North Birmingham Line on to sayreton and
 Gate City Line on to
 the Mines.
GREAT CONVENIENCE

The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company will likely extend the North Birmingham line to Sayreton and the Gate City line to Mary Lee Mines in the near future. The company has been seriously considering the matter for sev- eral days, and while no definite decision has been made 1t is probable that work on the extensions will begin shortly
 The proposed extension of the North Birmingham line will be about one and one-half miles in length, and will give large number of miners who work at Sayreton a way to reach Birmingham. The other proposed extension Is from East Birmingham to Lewisburg. other wise known as Mary Lee Mines, dis tance of about four miles.
 At present the people residing at these mines have no way to reach Birmingham except by private conveyance or to walk to North Birmingham, several miles dis tant, and take a car at that point to the city Lewisburg Is town of some three or four hundred people.
 } The change in the route of the Avondale cars was inaugurated yesterday after over the Twenty-second street bridge, thence down Second avenue to Twentieth street and at that point curve into the old route. The cars will leave the city via the old route.

NO CHANGE IN T. C.
 LCO.'S MINING SCALE
Remains Same as Last Month-Reduc- ton of 2La Cents With SIoss-
 Sheffield Company.

There Is to be no change in the mining miners and mine laborers employed by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company.
 A notice to this effect has been pro- mulgated, signed by w. M. Nelson and J. H. Hollier and approved by Edward Flynn, president, and J. L. Slemo, sec- retary, which reads as follows:
 This is to certify that we, the under signed, have. according to the terms of the contract entered into between the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Com pany and the miners and mine laborers in their employ, examined the sales books, ledgers, invoices. etc. and find from said examination that the Tennes- see Coal, Iron and Railroad Company did net over $10 and under s11 per ton for all grades of pig iron at the furnaces in the month of July. 1901. Therefore, the price for mining coal for the month of August, 1901, will be the same as for July. with the proper scale for all other work gov erned by miners scale"
 The price is 521a cents per ton. com mittee of miners in the employ of the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Company investigated the books of that firm yes- terday and ascertained that prices of pig iron were such as to warrant a reduction of two and half cents ton for mining as compared to the wages paid during the month of July. During last month the miners employed by the Sloss Com pany received 521a cents per ton.

Office of City Treasurer Will
 Then Be Vacant
WILL 60 ABROAD FOR A YEAR
But Will Return to Birmingham UI- timately to Engage In Business. Scramble Expected In Council
 Over His Successor.

George Eustis, city treasurer and tax collector, will resign his office on October and go abroad to spend several months.
 The rumor to this effect which has been going around the city hall for sev- eral days was confirmed yesterday after noon by Chairman Kerr of the finance committee and afterwards by MT. Eustis. MT. Kerr said:
 MT. Eustis will resign on or about October l to go abroad I can say noth- ing further because the matter has not to develop
 MT. Eustis has not sent in a formal resignation. but has made known his in- tentions to the different city officials. An effort was made to keep the matter a secret until later ons but in some way 1t leaked out. The reason for secrecy, 1t is will be greatly annoyed by the campaign now to be waged for the office A num- Der of candidates will undoubtedly spring up at once. Mayor Drennen and Alder men Gray and Kerr held a conference with MT. Eustis yesterday afternoon.
 In discussing his resignation MT. Eustis said that he would take his family to Paris to visit relatives. They will prob- ably remain abroad for year. He said that he would not engage in any business for six months at least. He has been at his desk steadily for several years and feels the need of a rest. After returning to Birmingham he will again go in busi- ness.
 q will certainly return to Birmingham" !" said Mir. Eustis. "I don't believe I could stay away if I tried. I have great con- fidence in the city and have no idea of giving up entirely my interests here."
 MT. Eustis came to Birmingham in 1888 and was at first in the brokerage and in surance business. In 1895 he was elected to the office of city treasurer by the Van Hoose reform administration. So eff1- ciently has he discharged his duties that he has been reelected under each suc- ceeding administration.
 The work of the office has increased every year, but MT. Eustis has always been able to cope with 1t. His duties are particularly exacting at present on ac- ount of the large amount of improve ment work of all kinds in progress.
 The office of city treasurer pays s240O per annum and two assistants are aI- lowed.

lanta; Chamberlain of Chattanooga, de- feated Byrd of Atlanta; Graves of Mont gomery won from Matthews of Atiantai Brown of Birmingham beat Broyies of Atlanta; Rogers of Knoxville defeated Colquitt of Atlanta; Quinby of Atlanta lest to Ward of Birminghami Grant de- feated c. Thornton, and Dinwiddie won from Matthews of Atlanta.
 Tn the preliminary doubles Thornton Brothers defeated Hoyt and Stanton of Atlanta"
 Charley Brown had a comparatively easy time in winning his set from Broyies. Although the latter is good, steady player, he is not in the same class with the Birmingham man. Bryant Grant created a sensation by his game with Chance Thornton. The former Is player of the same class as Brown and will be one of the. last players to be de- feated before the finals.
 The game this afternoon promises to be the fastest seen so far in the tournament. The men are being thinned down rapidly and the finals will be reached tomorrow afternoon. The indications are that both Brown and Ward will go to the semi finals and probabilities are that one of the two will have the right to challenge the present holder of the club cup, clar- ence Angler, Jr.
 Angler Is said not to be in form this season, but if he Is. his work will be quick snappy and sure. He Is absolutely interchangeable, and can play fast game to the very limit with any player in the South His defeat of Brown last year was so astounding that he was at once brought into prominence. From the time the third game was begun that afternoon | anyone could see Brown was out-classed' for he never was able to touch @ ball of the young giants during the remaining part of the contest. His work against Ward was of the same class, and If he
 shows anything like the same form this
 season he will be able to make his chal-
 lenger play faster than was ever played
 in Atlanta.

HOT WEATHER FOOD.

The selection of food for hot weather is an important question. We should avoid an excess of fats. cut down the but ter ration and indulge more freely in fruits and food easy of digestion. One meat meal per day is sufficient during hot weather.
 An ideal breakfast Is Grape-Nuts, treated with a little cream (which. by the way, supplies the necessary fat in very digestible form). a cup of Postum Cereal Food Coffee, hot or if cold, 1t should have little lemon juice squeezed in; then some fruit, either cooked or raw; also perhaps two slices of entire wheat bread with very thin spread of butter. A breakfast of this sort is so perfectly adapted to the wants of the system that one goes through the heat of the day in comfort as compared with the sweaty, disagreeable condition of one improperly fed. Once put In practice, the plan will never be abandoned during the hot days. for the difference in ones personal com fort is too great to be easily forgotten

ANOTHER Iuro,.TAST RULING.

A Washington special of March II,
snys the decision of secretary Hitchcock
sustaining the application Of Thomas
+. Walsh for patent TO the Zephyr and
Divide claims, referred to in recent dis
patch to tho Republican, is one Of great
importance to mining men throughout
the west.
The important ques,ion decided in
this case arose from these facts. Mr.
Waleh is the owner OF n group Of 10 lode
mining cllms, Including the Zephyr
and Divii ie, all OF which lie so contiguous
to one another that taken all together
they fcrn one body OF mineral land
Some OF these claims hive heretofore
been passed to patent, Others are in
cluded in pending entries, and some
have not yet been included in any pend.
ing application or proceeding. Tho
claims are located ON the eastern slope
and across the summit OF rugged
mountain ana cannot be developed nd.
vantageousiy except by means OF II
tunnel driven into the mountain and
through the group of claims. Mr.. Walsh
has constructed the tunnel, now about
1900 feet long, at n cost Of over $4,000.
The secretary's decision hold that the
work done and tho expenditure made
may be applied to the satisfaction OF tine
required expenditure of 500 develop.
ment work upon each claim required
by law TO obtain patent; and holds that
so long as the Claims constitute u group
contiguous upon the ground upon the
ground Of CONN IN ownership, and sus-
ceptiblc OF being worked by one min
ing system, it s immnteria that some
Of them are patented and that not all
of them nre included in the same up.
plicatior for patent.
The secretary said:.. "a mining claim
or location which is II member VI such
u group does Eot .ase to be n beneficiary
