sional men and not enough train
ed in mechanical pursuits. When
the South really turns its atten-
tion to these it will make things
hum.
The Jarilla Copper Co., of
which f. B. Schermerhorn is
manager, and he, by the way, is
most thorough and practical
miner, has done the most legiti-
mate development work so far
performed in the camp. A force
of men are working day and
night. Last Monday four foot
vein of mineral was opened up,
which carries gold and silver to

With cotton a Z cents pound,
a bale is worth $35. If made into
goods at ) cents a yard, it is
worth S87. If all the cotton
grown in South Carolina were
manufactured there, it would be
worth seventy million dollars in
stead of twenty eight millions.
And it would be manufactured
there if it didn't cost as much to
move it ten miles in the state as
it costs to move it a thousand
miles out of it.

les. Beauty is all right. but the
Washington fathers want work
for their sons at home instead of
being forced TO send them to 9th
er cities to get d start in the
world.
1t is not creditable to the Unit
ed States that it lets Jackson
ville's call for aid pass unheeded.
1t is safe to say that the entire
South is in favor of Mark Hanna
for President in 1904-that is to
say, it is in favor of his nomina-
ton by the republicans for that
Office.
The United States Supreme
Court the other day handed down

Mr.. j. |. Minear, of the Yankee
Mine, Custer, Idaho, was in this
place last week on business. He
is connected with the Boston
company who late last year pur-
chased the famous Yankee Fork
property on Estes Mountain from
Col. Jas. A. McFadden, of Chal-
lis, for consideration of 500,
900. Mr.. Minear is a practical
and experienced mining man,
having been in charge of large
mining propositions in different
parts of the world. He was on
Wood River in an early day. His
father, it is said erected the first
quartz mill in Idaho. The new
Yankee Fork contemplate doing
large amount of work on their
property in Custer this year.
They have already put on quite
large force of men at the mine,
besides letting contracts for saw
logs, etc. 1t will be a busy season
with the new company. 1t is
their intention to erect a 90 STAMP
mill and put in hoisting works as
soon possible, and we are in
formed that orders have beer
placed for the required new
machinery. Besides all this vaSt
Improvement work, the company
! will develop the mine to its full
est capacity. 1t is said the mine
has a better showing at this time
, than ever before.
