There are loyal hearts, there are spirits brave
There are souls that are pure and true;
Then give to the world the best you have,
And the best shall come back to you.
Give love, and love to your heart will flow,
strength in your utmost need;
Have faith and score of hearts will show
Their faith in your word and deed.
For life is the mirror of king and slave,
'Tis Just what you are and do;
Then give the world the best you have
And the best will come back to you.

or perhaps even a bigger one, for years
to come.
The two big Indian mines, Champion
Reef and Mysore, are now in the front
rank of gold producers. The smaller
mines adjoining them, Ooregum and
Nundydroog, are not likely to rival
them, but two such great mines are a
good average for one country. should

Deposits in the TransvaaI.
In the Transvaal you have the curious
feature of dozens of great gold mines
working at half their capacity for want
of labor, This is a temporary affair,
which does not affect the real capacity
of these mines, so 1 have assumed that
they are producing on the basis of the
year 1S99-when they had a sufficient
labor supply. On this estimate there
are seventeen Transvaal mines among
the thirty biggest gold producers of the
world and the balance is made up by
six mines in West Australia, three in
the United States, two in India, one IN
Queensland and one in New Zealand;
all these, let it be noted, are in the ter
ritories of and controlled by English
speaking people. OF the seventeen
TransVaal mines ten are outcrops, six
are first row deeps and one is a second
row deep.
In the world of gold-mining exact
knowledge is just as important and is
just as difficult to acquire as in any
thing else. 1t is astonishing even how
few mining people know that the
Homestake is the biggest gold pro-
Queer in the world, for suppose 1 have
seen the newspapers of at least a dozen
countries or mining camps assign that
place to their own local big mine. The
greatest" gold mine, too, is claimed
for probably twenty localities, although
/ think, taking its past. present and flu
ture into consideration, that Mount
Morgan still holds that title. But when
someone who ought to know what he is
talking about claims that some new
mine which is little known and proba-

DUBLIN,s NEW ENTERPRISES.
Improved Telephone System and Ice
Plant.

Dublin, Ga. March Tin a few
weeks Dublin will have as good tele-
phone system as any city in the state.
Some weeks ago, A. and N. NJ. Block,
principal owners of the stock in the
Dublin Telephone and Manufacturing
Company, purchased the building on
Madison street formerly occupied as a
Chinese laundry. The work of re-
modelling the building and adding an
other. story for the use of the tele-
phone exchange is now we'll under
way, and will be completed in a few
weeks.
The material for charging and inn
proving the system in Dublin has ar
rived and the work of improving the
system will be commenced at once.
New cables will be strung all over
the city, and the capacity of the sys-
tenn will be increased to 500 telephones.
1t is said that from $4,000 to $4,000
will be spent by the Messrs. Block
in improving the system.
In addition to improving the tele-
phone system at considerable cost,
Messrs. Block are now engaged in
putting in an ice plant. The plant is
now nearing completion and will be
ready for business in about two weeks.
The capacity of the plant will be more
than enough to supply Dublin proper,
but will hardly suffice to supply the
outside trade, especially the first year

GUARDS WANT HOME
FOR SOCIAL PURPOSES.
W'II Rc-estnbIish Themselves in
Former Quarters, If Possible.

The Savannah Volunteer Guards,
after contentng themselves for a num-
Der of years with quarters suitable
only for their military needs are again
to have home of their own where
the members can meet for social pur-
poses.
This home will have all the features
of a club, except that no alcoholic
beverages will be sold or dispensed. If
possible the command will re-establish
itself in it's former home.
At meeting of the officers of the
battalion, held in the quarters at the
armory last night, this measure was
decided on and a committee of three,
consisting of Maj. w. w. Williamson,
Capt. w. B. Stephens and Capt. w. G.
Austin, was appointed to look into the
matter. The question will be taken
up at once.
In a statement made after the meet
ing it is said that the officers of the
Guards after a great deal of thought
and consideration have unanimously
reached the conclusion that it is alb
solutely essential to the vitality, flu
ture existence and prosperity of the
Guards Battalion that they have a
home for social purposes.

for Historic Command.

Occasion Brought Forth High Praise
for Historic Command.
The non commissioned officers of
the Oglethorpe Light Infantry gave a
smoker to the members of the COM
mand, the staff of the regiment and
some of the retired members of the
company last night. 1t was served in
the quarters of the company, after
drill, and was as enjoyable as an ex-
cellent menu. the best of fellowship
and interesting addresses could
make it.
The menu consisted of sandwiches,
pickles, olives, charlotte russo, punch,
lemonade and cigars. After these had
been disposed of Capt. r. M. Hitch.
who was POSTMASTER. made a short
address himself, in which he told of
the excellent work that had been done
by, men of the company, particularly
the non-commissioned officers. and
then called on Col. G. A. Gordon for
an address.
Col. Gordon said he had expected
only a very informal affair. but that
he was, nevertheless, very much pleas
ed to see so excellent an entertainment
prepared, as it showed the great in
lcIGcl lildl 10 tdhGiA tAlC
by its nom commissioned officers. and
showed spirit that could have no
other effect than to be of the great
est benefit to the company.
2 He gave "a. brief historical sketch of
the command, recalling to the minds
of his hearers that the Oglethorpe
Light Infantry was created by Fran
cts S. Barlow, that Barlow was one
of the first men to see that war be-
ha 81 NJ innVifa HE and
so, therefore, when he was sent as a
delegate to the Confederate Constitu-
tional Convention he rendered the serv-
ices OF his command to President JEFF
ferson Davis, and the Oglethorpe
Light Infantry was the first company
so rendered, and the first to be re-
ceived into the service of the Con-
federacv.@
The speaker reviewed the history OF
| the command during the war and stat
| ed that there are still living men who
were members of the command, and
| who participated in every battle In
| which the command took part during
| the entire service of the war. He
| thought, that record of the various
| campaigns and battles in which the
| company had taken part should be
| secured from some of the men who had
| taken part in them, and that this rec:
| ord should be kept in the archieves OF
the company. The record of the COM
mand is such he said, that it is a
matter of pride to belong to the Ogle-
| thorpe Light Infantry.
After referring to some of the later
history of the command. Col. Corridor
presented the medals for attendance
i that had been won during the last year
by members of the company. The win
ners were First Lieut.. G. A. Nell Sergt

DANGEROUS METHOD
OF TREATING SIN.
Was Discussed by Evangelist Me-
COnneIl mt Trinity.

Was Discussed by Evangelist Nc
COnnen mt Trinity.
The dangerous versus the proper
method of treating sin was the topic
discussed by Evangelist Mcconnell at
Trinity Church last night. His text
was. whatsoever hideth his sins shall
not prosper; but whosoever confesseth
and forsaketh them shall have mercy"
The disposition of men to hide their
sins from God, from man and from
themselves was graphically described.
The folly of such a course was pointed
out. A telling illustration of this was
shown in the story of a Squatter boy
in Arkansas. The boy was reared in
the swamps and woods, never bathed,
his hair was dressed with a butcher
knife. wore homemade clothes. a cap
of coonskin with the tail hanging be-
hind. The boy ran away from his
mother after fearful beating. He fell
in with town boy moving into the
country. They exchanged knowledge
The squatter boy, for the first time,
saw mirror. Surprised, he gazed
into it and suddenly darted off, run
ming as if for life. He never stopped
till, painting and trembling, he. fell at
his mothers feet She asked what
was the matter, and he cried. 20,
mother, l saw the devil" Such would
be the experience of many If they
should behold themselves in a moral
mirror, said Mr.. Mcconnell.
The folly of covering sin. also illus
trated in the tests applied to the pupil
in school. He might claim to know,
but examination would show ignor-
ence. God cannot be deceived, he said.
To illustrate the condition of hid
ing sin by not thinking of ii, he told
a story of an old farmer prejudiced
against banks. hiding his money un-
derneath the hearth. keeping his dog
and gun, being easy to wake. The
cid man took the newspapers. He
read account after account of robber-
les of men situated just like he was.
He become so excited, he could not
sleep and tried all kinds of plans
to increase the protection of his money

GOLD MINES OF THE WORLD.
Many of Them Yield Fabulous
Amounts of Precious Metal.
m the London Economist.

From the London Economist
The biggest gold-producing mine in
the world is the Homestake. in South
Dakota. 1t is one of the poorest, rela-
lively, as the ore only yields about Is
shillings ton, but as against this the
costs are only 10 shillings a ton. At
present the quantity of ore treated a
year is over 100000 tons; that is,
with 900 stamps, but 200 more are go
ing to be added. The output from
Homestake now is over 10000 ounces
fine gold month, but in a year or
two it should be good deal more.
About three miles from Homestake is
a mine called Golden Reward, which
also is entirely owned by Americans.
This mine is now producing not much
more than 100000 a month, but in a
year or two l expect this will be
greatly increased. If the figures
shown me at this mine were correct
it has the potentialities of another
Homestake E.
There are a number of mines which
earn better profits than Homestake,
but none which approaches it in size.
The next largest is Alaska Treadwell,
on Douglas Island. This mine has $40
stamps, but all of these can only run
for part of the year, owing to scarcity
of water We may place the average
yearly output at 600, 900 tons. This ore
yields barely s shillings a ton, which
shows Alaska Treadwell to be the low
est grade of the worlds gold mines,
but owing to exceptional facilities the
total working costs are only shillings
a ton. AS an actual producer of gold
the Treadwell stands far down the list,
but the mine is to-day in probably a
Sounder condition than ever before. II
has paid s1.000000 in dividends.
Before leaving the States we may
note the other big gold producers there.
At Cripple Creek there is the Port
