the elite of the large cities.
Ours are the only recog-

Long Run on Mole Guleh Placsss.

Charles johnson, Of John Day, was In
town on business last Friday, having just
returned from weeks stay at his pIacers
on Mule gulch, the richest placer mine In
the Spanish gulch mineral belt, which he
owns In company with his father and
Robert Cannon, On Rock creek. The
mine Is being operated with full head
Of water and with Aattering prospects for
a cleanup equal to that made last season.
Mr.. Johnson says they have sufficient
ground to keep their mine IN operation for
several years, the most Of which should
equal In value any that they worked last
season. II Is shallow and reasonably
easy to work, and with the grand water
right they own In connection with the
ground, they will be able to operate their
property until late In the year.-Blue

The Poll Tax,

The citizens of Louisiana who
expect to exercise their constitu-
tional privilege of participating in
the congressional election in No
vember, 1902, in the State elec-
tions in April, 1904, should take
notice that the poll tax provision
of the Constitution will come in
force before those dates, and the
tax must be paid as prerequisite
to voting.
The special requirements made
of all voters under 60 years of
age is that, before exercising the
privilege of suffrage in any such
election. they must have paid the
poll tax for the two years pre-
ceding the election; and in each
case the tax must have been paid
on or before the 3Ist day of De-
cember of the said two years, and
the voter must be able to show his
poll tax receipts.
Thus it is that, in order to vote
at any election in 1902, the poll
tax for this year 1ooI must be
paid before the expiration of the
present year, and that for 1902
must be paid before the Novem-
Der election in that year, SO that
the evidence can be presented at
the polls.
1t, therefore becomes an abso-
lutte necessity that the poll tax for
this present year of 1901 must be
paid before the expiration of the
year, and the tax for 1902 must
be paid in that year before the
November elections.
This is something which must
be complied with by every quail
ifed citizen who is under 90 years
Of age. or else he cannot vote.
Bear it in mind as solemn duty.
not to be neglected on any ac-
count, -Picayune.

Breaux Bridge Wells.

The following from the St, Mar

interest to a number of our read
ers who have investments at
Braux Bridge.
Work has been entirely sus-
pended at Anse la Butte, and will
be for few days. We learn, how
ever, that in the course of
month or SO, that drilling will be
resumed on the Anse la Butte
Company's and by three other
drillers making in all, four wells
going down at the same time.
The officers Of the Company are
certain they have a clogged gus
her, and the under pressure is SO
great that it keeps the pipe at the
i v
1botton clogged with sand anc
gravel. The other drillers o
experience who have studied thu
conditions at the Butte, did no
hesitate to contract to bore we'll:
there. as they are all sure til,
gushers are there, and they are
going to get them. It is hare
work and re quires lots Of tediou!
labor. but the drillers who. will &c
there in short time are going K
work until the holes will gush.

able to suppress the development,
Of the Southern oil fields.
Before the Southern oil ava
lanche startled the world, did any
one ever hear Of the possibilities Of
Southern petroleum except it was
tridiculed or ignored by the United
States Geological Survey? Read
the report and see.
1.-The time has come when every
Southern Senator and Congress-
man should ask what the mineral
resource division Of the Geological
Survey has actually done for the
South outside of copying the State
reports and taking the credit. The
South is interested in having its
resources known. and small-sized
kindergarten should not stand in
the way.
"The division of mineral resour-
ces Of the Geological Survey
should be abolished and be made
a part of the United State census,
which in turn should be made
permanent bureau governed by a
non-partisan commission.
THE Southern petroleum in
dustry demands that the United
States reports should not be DOM
mated by the Standard Oil Com
pany through its influence with
the Geological Survey. am
sounding not for my own good,
but in the interest OF the great
petroleum interest Of the South
and l ask the Southern press to
investigate the logic of my posi-
ton through their Washington cor
espondents.
The sooner the Geological
Survey is recrganized the better
for the South. -
