A BIG STRIKE MADE IN THE KLONDIKE
A Former Jackson Man, Hon. E. L. Mar
tin, is One Of the Largest Stock
holders in the Company.

A number of business and pro-
fessional men of Macon, Ga, who
organized company several years
past to prospect for gold in Alas
ka, have made one of the biggest
strikes ever recorded in the his
tory Of that country. The find
dates back to November of last
year, but the actual work of de-
velopment and milling operations
only began last spring.
Since the installation of the
machinery the ore has been run
ming from $50 to $40 per ton, and
the judgment Of experts is that
the several veins owned by the
company cannot be exhausted in
a hundred years if mills of the
largest pattern are put to work.
The company has declined to
sell out at a net profit of $1,000,
900 on their investment, refusing
even to consider the proposition.
Capt. E. Y. Mallary, president Of
the Commercial Bank of Macon,
is president of the company, with
Mr.. j. j. Cobb, a Macon capital
its secretary and treasurer.
The lucky strike is invested
with an element of interest to Mis-
sissippians, as Prof. E. L. Martin,
for years editor of the New Mis-
sissippian in this city but now
president Of the Georgia Alabama
Business College, the chamber of
commerce and business mems
league of Macon, is one of the in
corporators and largest stockhold-
ers of the big mining company.

Especial. "A special train left
Memphis yesterday morning, via
the Frisco, for the accommodation
of the pupils of Blue Mountain
Female College. Over a hundred
and fifty pupils came on this train,
about fifty had come over other
routes in advance of the train,
and about thirty have come since,
while few places are being held
for girls who could not be here
today and met the conditions for
holding their places for a few
days. The last place in the large
boarding department of the col
lege was engaged August Is, over
a month before the opening; a
hundred girls have since been no
titled that their applications were
too late for the promise of places,
and fifteen of these have left de.
posits on file to secure the fist fif-
teen vacancies that may occur.
Reports indicate that more than
another hundred had planned to
come and we're prevented from
applying by news that they could
not getin. This condition coupled
with the fact that the managers
have not made a single trip in
search Of pupils this summer,
certainly speaks well for the
popularity Of this great school.
A new building is being construct
ed and will likely be opened in
November.

dreadful truth. Worley was called

but he p2:sistently maintained that
he had done his work well and that
a good flow OF subterranean water had
been found. That Worley was not so
bad as he was painted was proven
later by the report of the citizens
water committee appointed by the
council, which found a good flow Of
spring water in the city's pipes.
Before the citizens report was~made
Mayor Hunt had expressed the Opin
ion that it would be necessary for the
city to purchase a hundred acres or
more OF the Thomas ranch in order to
develop an adequate supply of water.

the law making gambling a felony for
the obvious reason that it threatened
to work a hardship upon some of his
closet friends who were making
big thing out of gambling games.
This is Representative KEGS record
associations prove cOnclusively that
he favors making the new gambling
law dead letter in their interest. In
circular letter sent out by him to
every voter in the city he does not
make the slightest promise that he
will enforce the law making gambling
a felony. There is no doubt that he
will have the support of every voter
who desires to see Wide-Open gamb-
