GADSDEN
Furnace of Southern Car and Foundry
Company Blown in Tuesday.

Gadsden, September INSTRUMENTATION
next Tuesday the furnace Of the South
ern Car and Foundry company will be
blown In. This furnace has been idle for
ten years. and was thought to be worth
less until Captain Elliott thought diff
ferent and purchased 1t for the Southern
Car and Foundry company and under
the directions of Stephen STICKY there
now stands one of the largest and best
charcoal furnaces in the south. The cleo
trio plant has just been finished and was
tried Saturday night. There are fifty
lncandescent and twenty arch lights, the
system worked perfectly. This plant will
furnish the power for transferring the
wood from the barges to the coke ovens.
The company will receive most OF the
fuel supplies by the river. The material
for twenty barges has been delivered
and work of constructing them will begin
at once The company will buy one of
the boats now on the river for the pres
emit needs and later build several. The
Cherokee Logging company which was
incorporated here last week. will build
the tram road seven miles long through
finely timbered country north of here and
while the company will get out saw logs
for timber. a great part OF the material
will be consumed by the furnace. The re-
building of this furnace is only a fore
runner of the developments that is soon
to follow. AS soon as the furnace is in
satisfactory running order the company
will begin the erection of another.
The new telephone line is nearly COM
pleted and will connect with all the towns
in this district with the main office at
Yancy. The system is tole line, but
some of the merchants of Gadsden have
secured rates to cover the entire territory.

seriously wounded by Lag Blount Tues

called for Arthur, a boy, who had done
some work for him and while hanging on
the gate waiting for the boy he went
to sleep. The elder Blount came to the
door and saw the negro and thought he
was a negro named Jack Vincent and shot
him. Blount is In Jail and Peoples is in
a serious condition.

cut down a scaly bark hickory tree one
day last week and from 1t secured two

improvements at the Springs.

Improvements cease with the Big Five
company Down at the soda springs workmen are
doing their best to complete the work laid for
them some time ago. 1t is expected, however, that
at the pool everything will be completed in a few
days.
During the last week a new gallery has been de-
cided upon, and carpenters now at work max
ing the necessary changes. 1t was the case for
merly that spectators would walk in on the floor
surrounding the pool but Secretary Merrill arrived
at the conclusion that it was bad idea to allow
those who just came to the sport the privilege
of the floor, SO the gallery was decided upon.
This structure will take up the entire east side, and
run around to the south. 1t starts right at the end
of the office and stairs will be erected leading up
to it.
The steam heating plant will be completed by
Tuesday morning. when heat will be turned on. All
the bath and dressing rooms have been provided
with heaters and now it will be much more conve-
nient when taking plunge.
Many people in the summer have habit of
leaving valuables in their clothes, and some
scrupulous person will slip in and ransack the
clothing of the bathers. This will be done away
with if the guests will only turn those valuables
over to the person in charge of the institution.

New Walks to Be Laid.

-Four carloads of stone tagging was received in
Idaho Springs Thursday morning. This tagging
will be used for the construction of sidewalk from
Seventeenth avenue to the bridge Miner street.
The walk will be six feet in width. If any of the
material is left over, it will be used in placing
walk in front of the town lawn. The tagging
secured from the Arkins quarries which are
known all the United States. 1t is said to be
the finest ever received in the city. City Clerk
Noxon will have charge of the work.
Every city should pride itself by seeing that
good substantial walks are placed throughout the
business and resident districts. Many streets in
this city provided with gravel walks which
have proven themselves to be of almost as high an
order stone, and far better than wood. The
water soaks in or runs off quickly and no COM
plants made.
See that your property is provided with some
kind of a walk. The value will hencforth be in

WANTS
A MILL
A Chance for Capital to
Find a Return for
Investment.

Siftings has always been a believer in energetic
Improvement 1t believes in inviting capital to
come where there is opportunity for If to bring
returns 1t has invited capital to the Idaho Springs
district because it knows that the mines
cesses-that all the great propositions that have
been successfully managed have become successes.
At the present time there is good opening for
capital at Lawson. That district is Injecting with
of the exceptionally generous character this
year and as a result ore bodies being opened
and the production is becoming important factor
in the grand total of the county.
There is every reason to believe that it would be
an excellent location for good concentrating
plant that would handle the ores and inspire new
effort to open up additional bodies
Mr.. Stewart, of that camp, one of the represen-
tative mining there, makes the statement that
the place is in need of mill that will be adapted
to the ore formation of the camp and at the
time possess a sufficient capacity to handle the
large amount that is hauled out and the
amount in prospect as new ore bodies are uncov-
cred.
He also states that mill could begin business
at once, even conditions such that not pound
of should be taken out of the present producers
and run for years at profit on the dumps of the
old producers that sent forth their millions in the
early days.
It is we'll known fact that Lawson was one of
the ''rich spots when silver selling at price
that caused the miner to forget his gold-bearing
ores and everything except his generous streak of
silver which netted him richly As result it is
claimed that the old dumps at Lawson rich in
good ore that could be treated by concentrating
plant at an immense profit. One gentleman from
there in speaking of the matter the other day re-
marked.
''You know that is high-grade camp up there
and it is my honest conviction that concentrating
mill could run for year and even better on the
dumps right there that have been passed up in
times when silver was the royal flush and captured
everything. Yon know in those days we were not
as careful as we are now and the methods for treat
ing the various ores had not reached the stage
of perfection they have in recent years. 1 have
visited these old dumps with half dozen experts
during the past year and they all tell me that the
ore will show up in good shape. have had assays
made that prove that they would, but we cannot
make much of profit them and stand the ex-
pense of hauling the ore to mill. What want
is a mill right on the ground so that furnish
it with the product of the mines and also let take
advantage of these old propositions
1t would seem that Lawson would be an excel
lent location for mill. Its properties are good
ones and it has already opened up enough to guar
antee the tonnage to good concentrating propo-
sition. Shoulc anyone desire any further inforna-
ton will endeavor to procure figures from there
to show what could be done. At any rate Lawson
wants mill and there is no reason why she should
not have one
