no means the smallest there is never
theless less litigation in Pierce county
than in any other county in the Bruins
wick circuit. Judge Parker, said the

tabernacle was used during last sum-
mer and through the untiring and I'M
fatigable efforts of Rev. c. G. Ernest,
Methodist minister in charge, an effort
was Immediately begun to restore or
rebuild the church, and with the COM
bined efforts of congregation and COM
munity at large, and with aid received
from other congregations, very neat
and attractive church has been COM
pleted, furnished and yard fenced.
Last Sunday it was dedicated. Rev.
T. D. Ellis, presiding elder of the Sa-
vannah district, preached the dedica-
tory sermon. The chancel and pulpit
were beautifully and artistically deco
rated by the ladies of the congrega-
ton. The decorations consisted of
white chrysanthemums, embedded in
rich cedar, Smilax, asparagus ferns,
sward ferns, roses and potted plants,
wreaths and crosses, etc. The choir
rendered beautiful and appropriate
music for the occasion.
DR.. Ellis selected for his text Peter
3 chapter, eighth verse, and preached
in his usual eloquent manner. He i'm
pressed his hearers deeply and all who
heard him were delighted with his
able discourse.
At the close of his sermon trustees
advanced to the chancel, and Capt.
James Bird, in accordance with the
Methodist discipline, presented the
building for dedication, which was
done in the usual manner

Court closed last week after clearing

Mines and Minerals
Of Arizona
JAMES J. JEFFRIES GROUP
Controlling Interest Sold to Eastern
Capitalists for $11, 900.

]. Herman Aagard. who is engaged
in mining on Castl- Creek. is an ener-
getic young man who believes in stick
ing to a thing until he succeeds. He
has great faith in that section. and
proposes to demonstrate that 1t is we'll
founded. A short time ago he had
deal practically consummated for the
Fort Henry group but as is often the
case il fell through when the vital issue
came.
Instead Of moaning over his hard
luck. he set about another enterprise
and is now elated over the fact that
It has been fully matured as to the dis
posal of the property, and $11 900 in
good money has been placed to his
credit in the bank.
This latest Transaction is the selling
of a controlling interest in the James
Jeffries group of five copper claims,
adjoining the Fort Henry property. 10
a Boston and Bangor (Maine) syndl-
cate. Another. interesting feature of
this enterprise Is the fact that the syn
dictate is headed by woman. Mrs. w.
w. Mitchell, and 1t was through her
negotiations that the deal was effect
ed. There are In late years quite a
number of women with capital at their
command who are investing in mines
and with good success, though not so
many of them but what the proceed
ing IL still little in the nature of the
novelty. There Is no reason why wo-
mans capital properly invested will not
make as good returns as though 1t be-
longed 10 . man, and it is sincerely to
be hoped that Mrs. MitchelIs invest
ment will prove a bonanza.
A company will be organized in Bos-
ton to exploit the Jeffries group. and it
is the purpose of the promoters to en-
ter upon the work legitimately ana
systematically. They do not expect TO
get returns without spending some
money, and 1t is their purpose TO sink l
shaft 1000 feet deep if necessary In
order to develop the big ore body that
beyond doubt lies below the veins ex-
plored.

this property, proposes also to employ
some of his energy in bringing to no
tice other promising properties IN the
