Wednesday last the Elkhart mine
was shut down on orders from the
company. What caused the shutdown
has not been learned. 1t was reported
last week that the mine was producing
good shipping ore and that the mill
was being kept busy on good grade of
mill stuff. The Elkhart was consider
ed good property, but it was opera
ted on theory until fully 600,A00s was
spent In doing about h0,0rs worth Of
work and then il wa shut down. The
most expensive method of handling
the ores was put Ia and this could not
be remedied without considerable ex
pen-e by the present management. If
the mine was in the hands of compe
tent men from the start its history
would have been much brighter.

A number OF newspapers are dis
playing ignorance of fact when they
state that the first copper mined in
Arizona was at the Longfellow mines,
in Graham county, in 1873. In 1868
copper was mined in Yuma county. at
the old Planet mines aud about that
time small cupola smelter was put in
aud the lower grade ores reduced to
bullion, the rich copper ores being
shipped by way of San Francisco to
Swansea, Wales. The people operating
the mines also handled some ores
from this county. Eric Sherman, who
died recently, worked on the smelter
aud often told the writer of the great
richness Of the ores from these mines.
The drop in copper values in these
early days aud the great cost of river
aud ocean transportation compelled
the mines to close down. In the early

Trial of Tillman Set for Monday.
fRy the Associated Press


Columbia, S. c., Sept 21.-When the
sessions court convened at Lexington to-
day, Special Judge Frank B. Gary, one
of the first matters taken up was the as
signment of day for the trial of James
H. Tillman, indicted for murder and charg-
ed with the killing of n. G. Gonzales in
january last.
Solicitor Thurmond suggested Thursday
for beginning the trial, and gave his rea-
son for naming that day that it would be
possible to get all other cases out of the
way before that time. Several Lexington
lawyers objected to this suggestion and
urged that the Tillman case be set for
next week as the Lexington cases could
not be disposed of before that time. They
contended that as the Tillman case did
not originate in the county, but was trans
ferred there on a change of venue, that
county should not be put to the expense
of delaying its own cases. This argument
was backed by special presentment of
the grand jury to the same effect, and
Judge Gary on that ground refused to
accede to the Solicitors request and set
the case for trial next Monday.
The prisoner was in court today. as
were his uncle Senator B. r. Tillman. and
other relatives. There are ten lawyers en-
tered for the defense and five besides the
solicitor for the prosecution.

Five Hundred Said to Have
Fallen at RiIa.
SURROUNDED THE REBELS
The Latter Were Reinforced and Turning Upon
The Turks are Reported 10 Have Amir
Inflated Them---The Slaughter
at ksstoria.
(By the Associated Press.)

Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 21.-According to
fugitives who have arrived at Ria from
Djoumaia, serious engagement has oc-
Cured at Pekin, near Melnik, sixty-five
miles from Salonica, in which the Turks
are said to have lost 500 men killed, in
Guiding two colonies.
A special dispatch from Ria states the
following details:
ION the 18th of September, 1000 Turk
ish troops surrounded the village and at
tackled the bands under Steinof and Der
yingoff, who had taken up a position
there. The latter were reinforced by the
bands commanded by Yankof and Tint
chef and the combined insurgent forces
turned on the Turks and completely an
initiated them. One Turkish commander
was captured
The unfavorable replies Of Austria and
Russia to Bulgaria's last note and the
fact that none of the other great powers
has yet replied, coupled with the ALICIA
tions that one of the powers is encourag-
ing the military party at the Yildiz Kiosk.
tend to create a less hopeful feeling here.
There is, however, no perceptible change
in the situation. Various reports are in
circulation regarding negotiations between
Turkey and Bulgaria looking to a solution
of the Macedonian difficulty.
The Dnevnik says Turkey has present
ed note to Bulgaria asking for the lat
ter's assistance in reaching a peaceable So
luton. Bulgaria replied that Turkey
must end the massacres. The Bulgarian
reply concluded:
IF the present situation continues the
Bulgarian government will be compelled
to yield to public opinion and send an
army to the frontier
1t appears doubtful that the government
has sent such an answer.
According to information received at
revolutionary headquarters from Mona
stir, 40 persons persisted in the flames
of their burning villages near Kastorla
and more than 1900 bodies of women and
children are said to be lying unburied
in the fields and on the roadsides around
that place.
1t is reported here that 500 Turks have
been killed with dynamite while fighting
against a body of insurgents In the
Kresne defile.

err. He heartily endorsed what had beer
said There were a new lot of prohibi
tionists in Raleigh just now, but they
seem to be either bar-keepers or their al
| lies. OF course, said he, there are excep.
tions, but as rule when a man begins
to say to you: II am opposed to a dis
pensary but l am for prohibition, you may
put it down that he is interested in some
way in the bar-rooms
He saw a man with a circular the other
day that had a letter in it signed by some
man claiming to be a sheriff. who said the
dispensary law was openly violated where
he lived Think of an officer charged with
executing the law confessing that it was
openly violated. No such man could be
believed.
But does anybody suppose the law
against whiskey selling would be violated
any more under dispensary rule than it is
now here in Raleigh under whiskey rule?
Have you boy in your home or has
your neighbor boy? Then think of the
twenty-three traps set for him here in
Raleigh in the twenty-three bar-rooms.
If you would shield that boy in all that
you can go to the polls on the 9Th day
of October ana vote out the twenty-three
bar-rooms by voting for the dispensary.
Remember vote against the dispen-
sary'' is vote for the twenty three bar
rooms.

and prayer from Mr.. Jno. T. Pullen.
