How to Build Up a Town.

The following good advice is
taken from an exchange, and if
lived up to by the inhabitants,
would be a great benefit to any
city:

The Mormon Temple.

The Mormon temple at Salt Lake City
il no doubt the most substantial and
we'll constructed religious edifice in the
United States, II not in the world
Corner stone laid April 1883, cap stone
April q, 1892 and dedicated April q, 1893,
over forty years Of constant labor being
consumed In its construction. This
magnificent structer 200 feet long, 100
feet wide il built entirely Of Utah white
granite, beautifully carved, symbolic Of
the Mormon faith, surmounted by six
towers, the highest being 23O feet from
the ground, supporting n bronze statue
of the angel Maroni. The cost Of this
building is aboat $6,OOO,OOO. There are
many other attractions at Salt Lake
City Of interest to the traveller or tourist
where day can be well spent. The
Rio Grande is the only Trans-continentai
route passing di rectly through Salt Lake
City, where stopover is allowed ON all
classes OF tickets. The service Of the Rio

banks. assay Offices, superintenden,'s re-
ports, miners employed underground,
express companies, ETC., yield monthly
output Of about $3.50, 900. Ten mines Of
the second class are the Gem, White
Swan, Quebec, Deer Lodge, Virginia,
Gold Ridge, Colt, Gold Needle and
Connor Creek, which gave an approxi-
mate output Of over 100000. From
these eighteen mines the monthly out.
put aggregates over t55O,OOO.
The Hoosier Boy, with twenty-five
stamps. adds about $3O, 900 per month.
Then there is the Pyx, Climax, Friday,
Brazos and about sixty others with mills
or shipping ore that are not counted in
this output and furthermore these
statistics do not include any placer
mines that are worked only in the sum-
mer time. The above statistics account
for about $3.50, 900 per month, or about
"a, ,96O, 600 from nineteen mines per year.
1t is safe to estimate that the small
mines, the shipping mines and the
placer mines will run this estimate close
to 81 ,OOO, 900 per month and We believe
that eastern Oregon is now producing
approximately $4,000, 600 a year, yet
the mint reports give 1t rs only 81 800.
600 for the whole state.
The reason for this is apparent.
There IL United States assay office at
Boise City, Idaho, and much Of the gold
il turned into Boise banks and they turn
il into the mints or United States Office
and Idaho gets the credit. Shipping
ore goes to the Tacoma smelter In Wash.
ington and the mine owner is paid for
his ore in q check and the bullion Ia
turned in from Washington. Some
shipping ore is sent to Salt Lake City,
Utah, some to Denver, and some to San
Francisco smelters, and Colorado, Utah,
and California get the credit.
The only way for this credit to be
properly placed 10 the establishment Of
a United States assay Office in Oregon
and the operation of a smelter in the
same state. II this were done, Oregon
would get credit for between twelve and
fifteen million dollars annual output =

AN INTERESTING STATEMENT.
How Our Mining Districts Are Robbed Of
Credit For Output.

The United States mint gives report
OF bullion turned into the mint and from
these statistics the output Of mining
district is made up. Eastern Oregon
mines have long been known as big pro.
ducers, yet the United States mint re.
ports that east ern Oregon produced g..
800, 900 in 1901. That means an average
Of $3.50, 600 per month.
We want to call attention to the fact
that eight OF the largest mines in east
ern Oregon are steadily dropping atotal
OF 1870 stamps. Ten other mines OF the
second class drop total OF 100 stamps.
The mines Of the first class are the Bo-
nanxs, Red Boy, Mammoth, Golconda,
Columbia, North Pole, Virtue and
Cornucopia, and these mines, according

DOINGS ABOUT ALAMO
What is Being Done on Some
Of the Properties in That
Section.

=. McPhee, hotel man Of Alamo,
was transacting business with Sumpter
people during the latter part Of last
week. Although "Pete" KNOWS how to
keep hotel, as thousands Of old timers
who have been III the far west for the
past thirty years can testify, yet he al.
ways keeps an eye open for chance in
something favorable in the mining way.
There has been no excitement in the
vicinity Of Alamo for some time, yet
considerable development is now going
on, and Mr.. Mcphee thinks that by the
first Of the year 100 men will be at
work.
Recently an important strike was
made in the Strassburg, three.fourths Of
n mile from town. This property be.
longs to an incorporated company Of
which W. II. Remington, W. $. Me-
COrnick, the Salt Lake banker, and
Portland parties are the owners. There
are three tunnels Oh the property; No.
l IL in between 800 and 700 feet No. 2,
1000 feet, and No. 3 very near 500 feet.
For some time crew OF men have
been running No. 3 tunnel on contract,
and the strike WAS made ut least 200
feet beneath the old workings. The
lead opened up at this depth IL twenty
or more feet in width. Should the
values come up to expectations, a 10.
stamp mill will be installed a. soon az
possible. The Strassburg group con.
sists OF six claims, all Of which are pat.
ented.
On the Alamo, six men are busy ex-
tending No. 3, or the lower tunnel,
which is now in between 800 and 800
feet. The main lead, which they are
driving for, Is liable to be cut any day,
when it is anticipated that this will be
one Of the banner mines of the country.
VIM. II. Chambers is pushing develop.
ment on the Big Producer group Of
eleven claims.
On the Humpback claim of the Van
Anda group, adjoining the Strassburg,
three men have been working for some
time, and few days since made an i'm.
portant strike, the particulars OF which
are not yet known.
The Oregon and Colorado Mining
company who own the Quebec group,
keep six men continually on develop
ment work. The differences which
heretofore existed between the stock
holders OF this company have been
settled, and soon the mine will be
working full blast and the l0.stamp
mill will again he in operation.

A SENSATION IN BERRIEN.
VI. A. smiths Residence Burned ana
His Fathers Two StepsOns Ar
rested for Inccndiarism.


Triton. Ga. Jan. 23.-Rather a sensa-
tional occurrence is reported from
LenoX, fourteen miles south of Triton,
on the Georgia Southern. Yesterday
morning, about o'clock, the residence
of Mr.. NJ A. Smith, near Lenox, was
destroyed by fire. The flames had made
such progress before they were discov-
cred that Mr.. Smith and his family
barely escaped with their lives, and
with only the clothing which they had
on. From the residence the flames
caught the smokehouse, and with about
500 pounds of ham and years supply
of lard, syrup and other provisions,
this was consumed. BY hard work, his
barn and horses were saved. The loss
is total one, as Mr.. Smith had no in
surance.
Circumstances pointed to the work of
an incendiary, and Mr.. Smith swore
out a warrant for two young men,
George and Wilburn Alexander, who
were arrested and carried before jus
tce Kinard. of LenoX. There they
waived trial. and in default of bond
were committed to Nashville Jail.
1t appears that there is a family trou-
bic of some eight months standing be-
tween Smith and the Alexander boys
Smiths father married the mother of
the AleXanders, and bought the farm
on which Smith lived when his house
was burned, but after paying about
half on II, failed to pay the balance
Smith purchased the place and moved
to it.
This originated some feeling. which
led Smith to attribute his loss to them
and caused the arrests.

The Montgomery advertiser., 1902-06-17
The Montgomery Advertiser.

Birmingham NeWs.
 The Montgomery Advertiser announces that it has outgrown its old quarters and will shortly move into a new and more commodious building. A recent sworn circulation statement issued by The Advertiser shows a remarkable and deserved growth by that estimable news paper in the last three years. In that short space of time The Advertiser has doubled it's circulation. For the month of May, 1902, the daily average of circula- tion has been 1.S20 and the Sunday aver age 14,643, showing practically an in crease of 8 1-3 per cent in the last twelve months. The News heartily congratu- lates The Advertiser upon this substantial evidence of appreciation by the public of it's efforts. Montgomery and Alabama have reason to be proud of The Adver- tiser, a newspaper conducted along the highest lines of ournalism-fearless. inde- pendent, just, conservative and intensely devoted to building up the interests of it's constituents. It has had a long, honora- ble and prosperous career. It is pleas ing to see its scope expanding, it's sphere broadening and its prosperity increasing as the years roll by.
