From Thunder Mountain.

From Thunder Mountain.
The Spokane Mining Journal says I:
"When the mass Of information-writ-
ten. printed and oral-of the Thunder
Mountain district OF Idaho has been
sifted it will be found that the district
is no worse, possibly no better. than
many other of the central Idaho mining
districts" After giving considerable
space to the different routes OF trail,
it says:
"Ihe reports of the miners who have
been there are so contradictory that it
will be some time before accurate in
formation is obtainable as tn the extent
and value of the ore In Thunder Noun

coming summer. Although the country
has the disadvantages Of isolation. poor
trails where there are any at all. aud is
pregnant Of every vicissitude common
to wild. rugged. mountainous country.
there is no question but its more thor
ough exploration and development is

Carl,egt.'s GIFT to Denver.

Andrew Carnegie has offered $2O0. eco
to the public library trustees Of Denver
and they are debating whether to accept
II or not. They want more money and
they want to buy the La V-ta place and
they don't wan I to pay cash for it and
they want this, that and the other u1til
Que would think that Carnegie and
everyone else would become disgnsted-
with the actions OF the hoard and otiiers
that are interested. The talk of Denver
being a progressive city is absurd. 1t
10 impossible for the board Of public
works to pave street. construct q sewer
or put in a culvert without long legal
dght in the courts. The present library
OF Denver is a disgrace. 1t is a mere
shack and was built less than four years
ago. Denver is q city in which there
are countless wealthy men that have
made their money there but they take
even less interest in their city than does
Andrew Carnegie who is u non resident
and then kick because he does not give
more.

An.mol,s Stock BIZ.

The stock bill introduced In the senate
by Ammons has become law. The
bill requires railroads to fence their
tracks and also makes a scale Ut prices
that shall be paid for the injury or death
Of any domestic animal by the trains OF
the railroad companies. ranging from
$3.50 for Texas and Mexican yearlinRa
to $500 for American steers. All half
breeds are considered US American
cattle. The prices for blooded stock
horses. mules and sheep-to be at their
full market value. Should the railroad
company fail to pay. without law suit,
they shall be liable for the amount ~
specified to gether with interest and the
costs Of suit. THE bill does not directly
AFFECT this county though it received the
fullest support and the best efforts of
both Senator jefferson and Representa-
tive Lyttle ms being Of interest generally
to all stockmen. In the past when
cattle were killed BY trains the owner
Of the cattle was lucky il he received
ANYTHING from the railroad companies
for his loss and when he was paid 1t
never was for the full value Of the stock
injured or killed.

End OF the Boer War.

This weeks telegraphic dispatches
assert that the end Of the Boer war is in
sight but neglect to say how far away
it is. 1t is hardly possible that the
civil leaders Of the Transvaal will be
able to dictate to De Wet and Delarey ;
both Of these soldiers have fought from
the first for the freedom of South
Africa and now after baving accom-
plisl,ed 80 much will be lnath to give up
to the British rule.
At the time OF Americas battle for
independence there were any number
of politicians and civil leaders who, like
Steyn of South Africa were ready to
give In to the English as soon as the
opportunity offered. Those of the
Transvaal that have fought and those
that have lost their friends and relatives
in their great battle for liberty will be
the last to surrender, while the civilians
that have only heard the guns at dis
tance are and have always been ready
to betray their country whenever any
personal gain could be made BY an act
of that kind.
The Beers are not whipped and we
believe that il the soldiers are ques-
toned in regard to the present surrender
tbei. answer will be the same as it was
two years ago, No! We will die first. 7"

TOOK AN OPTION ON
SITE FOR A PLANT.

Build Here.
PROSPECT SEEMS BRIGHT NOW
Reported That Manager of Company
Secured an Option Upon Valuable
Building Site -Americus Would Be
Glad to Have Mill.

Americus may get that second ferti-
lizer plant after all. Several days ago
the Times-Recorder mentioned the
presence here of Mr. B. d. Osborne,
general manager for Georgia of the
Armour Fertilizer Works, with head
quarters in Atlanta. Mr.. Osborne, as
then stated, was looking over the sur
roundings here with the possible view
OF having his company enter this ter
ritory, the best in Georgia for the fer
tilizer trade, 1t is currently reported
that the Armour Company secured re-
Gently the option upon a large and
valuable vacant property out near the
Seaboard Railway shops, and in the
event it is decided to locate factory
here the property mentioned would
prove an excellent building site. 1t is
of ample dimension and advantageous
ly located as to railway facilities.
While nothing of definite nature is
known as yet the belief, and hope, is
expressed that this large concern will
decide to locate a plant in Americus
and at an early date.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases

years was supposed to be Inourable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and presorib-

failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional di-

r. A. Littlejohn presiding and So
licitor General F. a. Hooper is in at
tendance For sumo reason the i'm
preston had gone abroad that this was
to be a big court, and the attendance
was large.
The charge of the court to the grand
jury was brief but impressive. Spec
ial stress was laid upon the import
ance of faithful discharge of duty
upon the part of county officials.
Thd grand jurors were also admon
ished to look well into the county's
affairs, to indict crime wherever found
when such was made plain. All indi-
cations point to a busy session. The
criminal docket Is not heavy but there
is enough civil business to engage the
court for several days.
The lawyers in attendance were
Messrs. W. A. Dodson, E. A. Haw-
klns, J. B. Hudson, G, r. Ellis of
Americus; E. T. Hickey and j. R.
Harrell of Stewart, and J, M. Dupree
