THE BLIGHT OF THE TRUST.

The apologists for the American Tobac-
co Company methods and those who in
innate that the tobacco planter is get
ting nearly as much for his tobacco as
it is worth will do well to consider the
following statement:
In August, 1902, the Wilson market sold
about 100000 pounds of tobacco at an
average Of II cents, but this year only
100000 pounds have been sold, at an aver
age of IL cents. The effect on the
business of the town has been very mar
Eed.
The reason for the small amount sold
this August is patent. The farmers rec
Ognize that they are not being offered the
money value of their tobacco and they
are holding. In August a year ago there
was five times as much tobacco sold in
Wilson as in the August just passed. In
thus holding their crop the farmers who
sold at Wilson are showing good, hard
common sense.
But look at the figures which are put
in comparison. In August, 1902, the
average was eleven cents pound for to-
bacco, while in August, 1903, it has fallen
to four and one-half cents a pound, de-
crease of nearly 81 per cent. for which
the American Tobacco Company is to be
thanked.
The decrease Is an unnatural one and
it is the sheerest nonsense to talk about
this being caused by the offering of I'm
ferior grades" of tobacco. 1t is in rea-
son to believe that the grades offered
III Wilson in the same months in sue
ceeding years are nearly similar in quail
ity and there is not ten year old child
in North Carolina who can be deceived by
trust organs who cry inferior grades"

Of the management as occasion de-

1--WE have already demonstrated
said Captain Lawrence yesterday, that
we have remarkably fine property.
and the first runs of our new mill have
shown that the process employed will
do the work. AS the plant has not been
placed in shape for winter work as
yet. we have decided to close it down
until spring and devote the next few
months to the further development OF
the mine The old NewhOuse tunnel
on the property IS being cleaned out,
and the bad ground. between 200 and
500 feet from its mouth, is being caught
up and within a short time we shall be
at work I'm the face Of the tunnel. which
is something like 1100 feet long To
reach the ore bodies opened above and
at an additional depth of 600 feet win
require only about 200 feet of driving.
When connections are made we are
confident of having one of the very
I biggest propositions I'm this state. as u
large proportion Of the ore above is
of a shipping grade now"

provides for the Introduction OF the
Z cyanide solution right at the start In
other words the ore is brought I'm con-

and all Of the material, including the
cyanide solution, is carried over the
plates in the beginning. The free gold

SHAWHUT-NEVADA BULLION

a telephone message from Eureka
Curing the day brought the informa-
ton that on Friday the ore bodies
in the Centennial Eureka mine of the
United states company were broken in
TO on the 1,40O-foot level the deepest
point I'm the mine at which they have
been opened. Superintendent c. T..
allen was confronted with the report
during the afternoon and. while he
Contended that it was not in his prov
ince to discuss il, be did not attempt
10 deny u. There is no doubt that
the report is correct and that, when
particulars have reached company
headquarters, at Boston, details viii
be forthcoming.
The tapping of the ore-bearing chan
mel on that level practically proves up
the mine to a depth of LOGO feet, and
220 feet deeper than any previously de-
velOped portion of the property. While
the information could not De officially
obtained, il is understood that the
strike was made at a distance of some
900 feet out from the shaft and within
a very few feet of where previous
calculations on the part Of Superin-
tendent Allen had determined il should
be found
The word from camp was to the eff
feet that the ore carried characters
tic values in copper, silver and gold,
though &c had not been penetrated a
sufficient distance for a thorough sam
ping to have been had. This same
chute of ore has now been opened at
stated intervals all the way down from
the 600 to the I .4OO-foot level, thus
proving its continuity, on the dip of
the vein Tor a distance of somewhere
between 1000 and I 300 feet The ]. 400
foot level Of the Centennial Eureka is
1000 feet beneath the surface and from
the 70O-fOOt level down this monster
ore body has not been mined at all.

In trying to worm something out Of
superintendent Allen the question was
asked whether there was good reason
TO suppose that the same ore body
would be found at still greater depth.
His reply clinChed the argument re-
specting the reported strike. for he
said:
THE bottom OF no ore body in the
lines of Tintic. in any mine. has vet
beeen found. They may pass out of
the lines of one property into another,
but the bottom of none of the great
ore bearing channels Of the district has
ever been found. This fact is illustrated
