SOME GOOD PROSPECTS.
The Wesphalia, nerstelIe and Her.
steIle No. 2.

Among some of the good pros
poets in the vicinity of Ely are
those mentioned above. They
are the property of R. A. Riepe,
who is now finishing up the as
sess nent work on each, and the
prospects so far developed are
proving satisfactory to the
owner.
On the Wesphalia a shaft has
been sunk to a depth of so feet,
which shows that it will tap a
large body of ore, and further
work will be pushed to deter.
mine a general result.
At the Herstelle a drift was
run that encountered a solic
mass of ore, which necessitated
the work being done by drilling
It is a splendid showing as fan
as the drift has beyn run, an6
its owner has great hopes of th.
Herstelle becoming an ore pro-
ducer of no mean ability.
Work is being pushed aheao
on the Herstelle No. /, and +
streak of ore has been tapped.
but as yet nothing definite cal
be ascertained till a greater
depth has been reached. The
outlook is a bright one for the
Herstelle No. l, as the quality OF
ore so far struck indicates some
thing of a streak that may last.
The three claims are in the
Robinson mining district, be
tween the Giroux group and the
Copper Flat and Ruth proper
ties. Much may be expected o.
them, as they are in the center
of the ore belt now being worked
on by the Ruth, Giroux grour
and the New York & Nevada
Copper Company. Mr.. Riept
has several other claims adjoin
ing, but on the three mentioned
he hopes for returns that viii
justify him for the time and la
Dor spent in opening them up.
AS the large companies now
operating in the Robinson dis.
trict are reaching out for more
ground, it is but natural to ex
pect that we may hear of several
sales at no distant day. The
erection of a smelter at the
Giroux group will add materially
to the value of the undeveloped
claims in that vicinity, and many
that are now only prospect holes
will be sending ore to be worked
by the new smelter.

Frank Ruckham, w. w. Magee,
Jim Ferguson and Messrs. j.. g.

pike and took the shortest and
most direct method of destroying
these houses. They spilled a lib

dropping a match on the floor,
went outside ana watched the
building burn. Every building
was visited and given like treat
ment. A short while ago a build
ing, which was situated on the

this time they were all destroyed.
And the Good Ship Jessie, =
which was moored to the Rankin
side of Pearl river, went too, not
up IN smoke, but to the bottom of
the river, with a hole in its side
that looks as If it had been struck
by a japanese mine. From this

Treasury viii Receive Money for State
Bonds This Week.

jackson, Sept. 24. The bond
deal between the State Of Missis-
.sippi and N. w. Harris & Co., of
Chicago, has been practically con-
cluded. All of the final details of
payment and delivery of the bonds
were concluded today, and moth
ing now remains to be done ex-
|cept the actual delivery of the
bonds and receipt of the money.
Exactly how the transfer is to be
made can not be ascertained, as
the officials incline to the belief
that enough has been said on the
subject, and apart from the naked
statement that Che deal has been
coDsummated, nothing Of the de-
tails can be learned.
There is grounds for belief,
however, that the company will
pay for the delivery of the bonds,
and that the State will pay the
charges on the money. An agent
of the bond syndicate has been
here looking after these final de-
tails, and it is understood that the
company proifered payment for
tho entire issue by rendering its
certified check or the alternative
|of Chicago exchange, the check
or exchange to be delivered here
and the bonds to be received here.
Such an arrangement would mean
|that-the State would have to as
sumo the expenses of getting the
money here. Whether the cash is
to come from Chicago, New York,
Memphis or New Orleans is a
question which the officials will
determine for themselves. The
whole transaction might be hand
led by local banks, in which case
the banks would use their own
pleasure about. the shipment of
the money. But, whatever meth
cd may be pursued, it is certain
that the Treasury will receive the
money for the issue in some man
Ener perfectly satisfactory, and
that it will be able during next
week to meet all warrants out
standing or to be drawn hereafter,
for the remainder of the current
year.

white caps ID this county CORES
pond ID some Of their worst fea-
lures. After committing numer-
Gus minor and private murders,
the Malta at last planned and car
|ried out the assassination Of the
chief Of police of that city, who
was making war Oh their organi-
zation and trying to bring them
70 justice, just as the white caps
of Lincoln county planned The ass
sassination Of the States chief
prosecutor, for the Same reason.
When The courts had failed To con-
vict the conspirators because per
jury had stealthily crept into the
jury and witness box, q large
number of the good citizens Of
New Orleans met and proceeded
in an orderly manner to the city
jail, and without further ado, shot.
about q dozen members of the.
Malta to death in their cells and
came near stringing the periuIed
jurors TO lamp posts. That lesson
eifectuallY paralyzed the Malta,
and it has never troubled New
Orleans since.
The Leader does not favor or
advise such summary treatment of
white caps accused of grave
crimes, but it does say, with all
deliberation and a full apprecia-
tion of the significance of its
words, that the good citizens of
this county could fur better afford
to adopt the New Orleans Mafia
remedy, heroic as it was, than to
submit indefinitely to the lawless
reign and certain moral blight of
whitecapism, as it is known 10
