Dear Sir: The Trustees of Fair Ground,
Cobleskill, N. Y, were glad to pay 15
cents gallon more for Devoe; and no
wonder. Two other paint agents said it
would take $50 gallons of their paint to
cover the buildings.
Our agent put it at 125 or less. 1t took
115.
We saved them 35 gallons of paint and
painting (worth $4 to S5 gallon, as the
painting costs two or three times as
much as the paint less Is cents gallon
on 115 gallons. Say $40.
That's how to count the cost of paint.
The cost of putting it on is So or 81 a
gallon. You see what that means. Go
by Devoe. Yours truly,

Amonq the Odd Fellows.

South Carolina Odd Fello vs. are very
much Interested in a matter which will
be taken before the Sovereign Lodge.
which meets in Baltimore on the 21st to
the 28th of this month. Capt. j. X. p.
Neatherry, Past Grand Master of the
Grand Lodge of this State, will endeavor
TO upset the club of ten plan, by which
the lodges have admitted to member
ship novices in clubs of ten upon pay
ment of reduced rate. Capt Meath
erry contends that this action is not al
lowed by the rules of the Sovereign
Lodge. The same plan of getting new
members is practiced by many of the
lodges in the South and is said to have
the sanction of the highest officer in the
order, j. B. Goodwin, of Atlanta. Since
this rule was put into effect the mem
bership in South Carolina has advanced
wonderfully. j. M. Davis, of Newberry,
and j, e. Crosby, of Walhalla, Sovereign
Representatives, have assured Capt.
Neatherry that they will bring the mat
ter before the Sovereign Grand Lodge.
Over 1000 members have cen admitted
to the order in South Carolina through
the club plan, which is yet being ope-
rated by a number of lodges.

that that part Of town is fast coming to

erecting 4-room cottages. M. b. White

in that end of town two stores, an up-to-
date poultry plant, dairy, winery, grist
and flour mill, cotton gin and thresher,
blacksmith and repair shcp, and ium-
Der mill, complete with planer, moulder,
lathe, bracket saw, kiln, etc. These people
and many others in that section of the

that the public well in that part of town
be established, as it will prove a great

The advisability of storing nitlo
powders in mine workings is
brought prominently into notice
by the Introduction recently into
the Utah Legislature Of a bill pro-
hibiting the storage Of powder in
the mines, presumably as a result
OF the recent explosion in the
Daly-West mine at Park City, in
that state. The opinion of mining
men is about equally divided on
the subject, some managers seeing
no disadvantage or danger in the
practice. others being Of different
opinion. The fact that large
amounts Of nitro powders are dai.
ly consumed in mines does not APP
pear to be sufficient reason for
storing 1t in large quantities in
underground workings without
taking the precautions niece sary
to avoid disaster similar to tina
above mentioned.

to the Press;
In regard 10 the Marioi mining
district there are several things
which differentiate the camp from

we have the zinc ores correspond
ing to those Of the Missouri and
Wisconsin fields, excepting that
the "dry bone or zinc carbonate
exists in greater quantities, and
in one case (the Old JIM form
ing the main ore body,
Oxidized ores (oarbonates, sill.
Gates and oxides) OCCUR in almost
all localities, but these ores are
usually local in extent and smsl
in volume, and the deposit never
extends below ground waters
Extensive deposits of oxidizeC
ores in a country like this woulC
indicate that the original ore bod
les from which they were derived
we're large aud extensive. Accord
ingly, after these oxidized ores arr
penetrated further work would de
velop sulphide ores, fully If no

Secondly, we must not forge
that although much prospecting

GOLD BEING GATHERED
IN THE HOOSIER STATE.
Much Excitement In Indiana and Land Values
Increase Greatly-The Garrett Process at
Paducah acknowledgement
at Salem-Letters From
Mining Engineer.
THE GOVERNMENT REPORT TO Be PUBLISHED At ONCE.

"Goldl Colo Goldw The sirens
song is throwing Indiana into a
fever. Already IL is predicted that
old Hoosierdom is TO become the
greatest placer gold mining state
in the union. Lands back in the
hills Of Morgan, Brown, and John
son counties that two weeks ago
could have been purchased for
from SO TO s. an acre have sud
denly gone mp in value and their
owners are figuring on taking
from $500 to $50, 900 Of gold out
Of every acre. A hydraulic gold
mine is in operation within TWEEN
ty.three miles OF the gilded dome
of the Indiana state house.
State Geologist w. :. Blatch.
Icy, who is noted for his conserva.
tisn, is taking great deal Of stock
in the work that is being done He
said. I'VE know that men have
spent all of their lives banning
gold in the Indiana hills. / have
ssnt some time with them aud
have seen them wash out 81 to 81
a day with the crudest methods
known-the pan. They have made
good livihgs, raised big families,
aud bear testimony TO the fact
that they have washed gold, for
they have never done any other
work. II these men can earn
$50 a day washing out gold with
a pan or crude rocker | don't
see why placer mining would not
be highly profitable il the right
kind OF machinery was used"
During the last week Dead
Mans Holler," billy country
near Martinsville, has been adding
testimony Of the presence Of gold.
Four men, operating a crude rock
or, took out $40 one day That,
however, was an exceptional days
work.
Taylor, the California miner,
Who built the hydraulic mine and
the fumes, says the Indiana dirt
is one Of the same character that
10 found in California, except that
there is no cement in il, which
makes the operations in California
so costly, lie thinks that there is
"a great deal OF dirt in the Indiana
hills that will run over 81 yard.
He sage that with the latest devi-
oes dirt can be handled now that
runs but 4 cents a yard, and can
be handled at a big profit,
State Geologist Blatchley holds
to the theory that the gold was
brought down by the glaciers. II
is found where the glaciers from
Hudson bay ended, and deposited
great banks of conglomerate. He
says that while the deposit, Of
course, is the heavies. gold bear
ing, all of the..northern half of the
state was strewn with gold by
those glaciers. Royse holds tina
all Of that territory can be work
cd proftably.
