Mr.. A. c. Meyer, director of the Sa-
vannah Theater orchestra and also d.
rector of the orchestra of the Savan-
nah Music Club, announces that he
is prepared to receive pupils for violin
instruction. Since locating here last
spring Mr.. Meyer has created many
admirers of his performances on the
violin, and the work that he has al
ready accomplished with the orchestra
of the Music Club, made up largely of
amateurs, is good evidence of his abil-
ity as an instructor. Before coming to
Savannah he was director of the violin
department of the Presbyterian Col

| Heard, its president he expressed him
self as much pleased with Savannah as
a location. Some of the older manufac-
turers at first ridiculed the idea of a.
mill being built at Savannah, but the
experience of the Mill-Haven Company
demonstrates the fact that this COM
pany has made no mistake. The plant
is supplied with ample water mains
from the city, which furnishes abund-
ant fire protection.
The company has constructed a
wharf capable of holding 5000 900 feet,
at which sailing vessels of heaviest
draft can load conveniently to their
capacity. Some of it's contracts are
unique in character and would be i'm
possible elsewhere than at Savannah;
for instance, all of the slabs and other
refuse is now sold to the Southern Cot
ton Oil Company, who will use this
product as fuel.
The company operates in connection
with its mill a wood yard in the city.
1t manufactures 90 900 shingles and 40
900 laths daily. The company does a
very large business in dressing timber
from interior mills as the shipments
pass through Savannah en- route to
vessel. 1t now has under construction
extensive brick dry kilns, in connection
with which is being established full
line of machinery for the manufacture
OF ceiling, flooring, Misunderstanding
and like products.
The Mill-Haven Company owns about
$4,000 acres of timber lands in the
South, and is constantly adding to this
acreage by additional purchases. 1t is
always in the market for timber lands
that are offered for sale in this vicin-
ity. Most of this timber reaches the |
mill by water down the Savannah river. |
Its officers are Mr.. Charles S. Heard, |
president and treasurer and Mr.. John |

tary. both Of Augusta, Ga. and are
among the most active business men
Of that city. The capital stock of the

orders.

UNC0VERING PYRlTES MINES.
Savannah Capital Developing North
Georgia.

Georgia.
Savannah capital is developing the
pyrites mines of North Georgia. Mr.
George ]. Baldwin, president of the
Chestatee Pyrites Company, is largely
interested in the uncovering of what
are believed to be rich deposits of py-
rites on tract of over 1000 acres Of
land about twenty miles northwest Of
Gainesville on the line Of the Gaines
Vile and Dahlonega Railroad, now be-
ing built.
The tract covers the vein in a wide
belt on each side of the outcrop and
extends a total distance of about three
miles running with the vein, thus TAX
ing in all of it's possible extensions
either way. A considerable amount
of money has been spent in under
ground development work and dia-
rnond drilling. The prospecting cover
ed a distance of about $500 feet on
the vein, with the result that an aver
age width Of about twenty-eight feet
Of ore was exposed from wall to wall.
The mine is owned by Savannah and
Atlanta men. The company has been
incorporated as the Chestatee Pyrites
Company, with the following officers:
George j. Baldwin. president; George
W. Scott, vice president: c. NJ Can
der, treasurer; n. P. Pratt, manag-
ing engineer. The ore Is a very high
grade of iron pyrites. carrying some
copper pyrttes and gold. which is said

to be unusual in veins of this charac-
ter east of the Rockies.
The company has q mining force
and a sawuill now on the ground
sinking and timbering a large working
shaft of three compartments, and
preparations are going on to develop
the mine to it's full limit of production.
The company anticipates having its
main working shaft completed ready to
market its ores by the time the rail-
road is ready to receive freight.
The vein is said to give. promise of
ranking with the largest pyrites-pro-
ducing veins in the United States, and
it is particularly interesting because of
its considerable copper and gold con-
tents. No pyrhotite occurs in the ore,
and its quality is reported to be very
fine. Chestatee river cuts the property
in two, ard at this point runs through
narrow gorge and pitches over g.
high fall. where at inconsiderable cost
about 500 horsepower can be develop
ed, which will be used for mining pur-
poses.

about these brick:
1.-THE company's proposition is SIM

brick, which will burn from three-quar-
ters of an hour to an hour and quar-
ter, throwing out great heat at an in
fnitesimal cost. With a relay of these

Rappahannock river in Virginia, where

porous earth out of which these bricks
are manufactured. The fact that bricks
made out of this earth would absorb
kerosene and burn has been known for
some years, and just why it has not
been proclaimed before is only explain
ed by the statement that no situation
such as the present had arisen to slim
ulate the ideas of the brick nanufac-
tlrers and bring them out in the role
of public benefa ctors."

CONVICTS USED I'M
SAVANNAH FACTORIES
One Hundred and ThIrty-five to Be Worked by
the MiIl-Haven Company

The Mill-Havcn Company a few days
ago negotiated a lease for 1876 state
convicts, who will be used in connec-
ton with the company's manufacturing
department. A model camp under the
states requirements is now under con-
struction for the men. who were for
merly used by the PARROT Lumber
Company, Redwood. Ga. The leasing
Of these convicts from the state is a.
distinct innovation in the manufactur-
ing industries of this section.
The Min-Haven Company though
only about 2 years old, is classed to-
day as one of the leading manufacture
ing establishments in the South. 1t en-
joys a combination of facilities such
as cannot be found at any other plant
in Georgia. The mill and yards are
equipped with electric lights. which en-
ables it to operate its mill by day and
night, thereby turning out an average
product of 100000 feet of lumber per
day.

The mems Bible study clubs is a
new movement which has just been
started in Savannah by the associa-

splendid results. 1t has been inaugu-

OF young men to become Bible teachers
and to get to study the Bible, those who
consider themselves too old for Sun
day-school classes.
Clubs for Bible Study.
The clubs of which there are four
teen, are composed of groups of young

CATARRH OF THE STOM-
ACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and
and EfectuaI Cure for 1t.

A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and
and EHectuaI Cure for 1t.
Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in
durable The usual symptoms are a
full or bloating sensation after eating,
accompanied sometimes with sour or
watery risings, a formation of gases,
causing pressure on the heart and
lungs and difficult breathing, head
aches, tickle appetite, nervousness and
a general played out, languid feeling
There is often foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the inte-
would show a Shiny. inflamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and OBJ
stinate trouble is found in q treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure a prompt and healthy digestion
Is the one necessary thing to do, and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
Accordinfi to Dr.Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed of Dias-
tase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux,
Golden seal ana rruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being a
patent medicine can be used with per-
feet safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and thorough digestion will
follow their regular use after meals.
Mr.. r. s. Workman, Chicago, Ill,
writes: "Catarrh is local condition
resulting from a neglected cold in the
head, whereby the lining membrane of
the nose becomes infamed and the
poisonous discharge therefrom passing
backward into the throat reaches the
stomach, this producing catarrh Of the
stomach. Medical authorities pre-
scribed for me three years for catarrh
of stomach without cure, but to-day /
am the happiest of men after using
only one box Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. / cannot find appropriate
words to express my good feeling. 1
have found flesh, appetite and sound
rest from their use"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as well as the simp-
lest and most convenient remedy for
any form Of indigestion, Catarrh of
stomach, biliousness, sour stomach,
heart burn and bloating after meals.
