GREAT GOLD STRIKE.
Deposit of Ore in Nevada Shows Val
ne of $4,000 to Ton.

Salt Lake, Utah. Miners in the
Sandstone Mine, at Goldfield, New,
have uncovered the greatest deposit of
gold ore in the history of the West
for many years, and wild stampede
from all parts of Nevada is in pro-
gress. The ore shows q value of &c.
900 to the ton, and is In an enormous
blind lode forty feet in width. The
value of the ore is said to surpass all
previous records, and the. fact that it
is of the free-mining variety makes it
the more valuable. The Sandstone
Mine is just north Of the old town Of
Goldfeld, and is joined by the Column
bia Mountain, Kruger, Stimler, Frac-
ton, Kendall, Argosy, Yankee Doodle,
Desert Rose, Magnolia and May
Queen properties. The last strike fol-
lows close on sensational finds in the
Jumbo combination and Florence
mines at Goldfield, and the excitement
in the location is said to be greater
than during the rush caused by the
White Pine discovery forty years ago.

for the past Is years.

Revenue Matters.

In connection with the various f.
nancial statements which have been
recently given out touching the reven-
lie condition Of the state, and showing
hat the state is at present in a close
position as regards revenues to pay
off outstanding indebtedness and
debts to become due, it is pointed out
that the prpesent situation results
from the vastly increased appropria-
tons of the last legislature, which
amounted to close on to million dol
lars

Educational Bureau.

Now that September is really
upon u.s., we begin t. feel that
school" is in the very air we
breathe, sure enough. It is a way
most Of us have to put off till the last
possible minute disagreeable duties
and unpleasant lessons, hence as the
last days roll round before the open
ing Of school, the tasks fairly pile up
ON each other. So many do we find in
need OF our attention before we can
with clear conscience, take up the
great work awaiting us. Nor are we
all alone in our quandary, for we note
that teachers meetings Of various
sorts-County Institutes, Farmers In
stitutes, Examinations, etc., are being
crowded into these last days and
worked up with vengeance Reports
from these various meetings, which
are being held in all parts Of the state
are cheering, and convince us that our
teachers are lending their utmost of
time, strength and talent to the work
of preparation for the great privilege
that is theirs in being allowed to guide
sorts County Institutes, Farmers In
stitutes have been especially fine,
and the attendance most gratifying.
The good work must 60 on until Mis-
sissippi, following in the wake Of
more progressive states, will hold, in
every county, monthly meetings Of her
educators, which will prove so pleas
ant and instructive as to insure a
splendid attendance. Nor are the
teachers alone in the present work Of
preparation for school duties. The
children, coming home from noun
tain and sea shore; from great plan
tations or from "just the country"
from World s Fair or less pretentious
way of spending their vacation, fairly
reset in these too brief "last days, !"
and all the time are gathering up their
books and making countless plans for
all the fun and work that a long
school year can compass. Would that
their plans might all find happy exc
cution and their brightest dreams a
sweet fulfllment, and all the work,
their fresh young minds take up, but
add, with each new effort, to the per-
lection for which, together, pupil and
teacher so honestly labor.
Of course each one of the hundreds of
teachers who preside over our boys
and girls has his or her own plan for
next years campaign, and will, per-
haps, think my suggestion superfuous.
But it seems to me that it would be
at least practical if not wise thing
to teach your pupils (no matter what
their grade nor where they are in
geography all about Russia, Korea,
Manchuria and Japan. This is the
one time in their lives when they
ought to learn about these countries.
Not so very long ago it was China of
which the papers and the thoughts
of the people were full. Then it was
South Africa, the Philippines, the
islands of the West Indies, the Pana-
ma canal and Columbia. And the
study Of each country should have
been taken up while the country itself
was making history. Try it when
school opens and see if the children
don t 60 at it with a vim and vigor
Altogether wanting in the sing-song
repetition Of "the capitals" bounda-
ries, etc.

Here is the experience Of a man
who lives in Jackson and tried truck
ing this year. Note the amount of
rent paid which could be had for less
anywhere outside the larger cities.
Some of this crop was within the city
limits and some on the outside, al
though near the line.
Jackson, Miss, August, Goth, '04.
Mr.. III. E. Blakeslee, Sec. Board of
Trade:
Dear Sir:-Learning that you
we're interested in everything good
Tor Jackson and surrounding communi
ty and being interested also myself
and learning that a movement was
'n foot to organize a trucking asso-
nation, to encourage the movement /
herewith submit . statement Of re-
suits Of my efforts in that direction
his year: I put 80 acres in cabbage
md 26 acres in peas and water mel
,ns. The cost of rent, labor, fertil-
zers etc., was as follows:
Rent on 80 acres at $40 per acre,
$4,000. Fertilizers on 80 acres at
S17 per acre, $4,000. Other ex-
Denses on 30 acres at $25 per acre,
$4,000. Total expense, $156O.OO.
The 80 acres made 5000 crates which
after paying all expense of market
ing, freights, etc., nested $126 per
:rate, or $4,000; less expense of
raising, shipping, etc., $1560.00. Net
profit on the cabbage, $4,000.
I now have the same land in corn
which will make 100 bushels to the
lcre or 5000 bushels which has mar
ket value of SO cents per bushel ST.
10000; less cost Of cultivating and
gathering, $4,000. Profit on the corn
crop, $4,000.
I also planted ten acres of water
melons which Melted after all expense
was paid, 100000. The 26 acres in
peas which at low estimate will
make 5000 pounds per acre and is
generally worth $12 per ton, will
bring, $4,000; less cost of planting
nd harvesting, $4,000 Total profit
n pea crop, 1910. Profit on cabbage
rop, $2,22000. Profit on corn crop,
$4,000. Profit on melon crop, 5000
70. Profit on pea crop, $4,000. To-
al profit on entire crop, $4.4S0.00.
I submit the above to give those in
crested an idea Of the possibilities
f this country and to invite others
o join in the enterprise and thereby
cake this line Of industry the mos,
profitable one In our state.
Respectfully,
Kent Jones.

Thhe Confederate Veterans Of Mis-
issippi have decided to build an an
lex to the old soldiers home at Beau
toir for the use of mothers and wild
ws Of the old soldiers. This is a
rery commendable piece Of work and
deserves the hearty cooperation of
very Mississippian. There is no
way of ascertaining just how much
he dear women Of the south did in
,ehalf of the cause fought for by
heir fathers, husbands, brothes and
weethearts, and they are certainly
deserving Of recognition at the hands
# all, and especially those who were
90 young to engage in that terrible
struggle. d The hardships, privations
Undergone and great sacrifices made
.or loved ones in the field demands
.or them now all that loving hands
IAN do to. make their last days as
Happy as possible.
The number Of truckers associations
BEING formed this year presages a
arge amount Of truck for next sea-
ION. It might be well for those going
INTO the business to still carry their
I'D crops and add few acres Of truck
The first year and more the next If
hey were successful. Too much Of
revolution in the crops Of county
night do so well as to bring about
the change gradually. IF after it has
proven success more desire to en-
gage in it, let them come in. 1t does
not require so much land for trucking
IS other kinds Of farming and its in
PRODUCTION would greatly enrich the
country in population and wealth. To
have a country Of small farms brings
N good class of independent and
prosperous citizens.
Hattiesburg Is taking municipal
census and confidently expects to find
10000 people within the confines Of
that prosperous little city. It has
been very prosperous for the past
few years and will no doubt show q
handsome increase in population as
well as business. All Mississippi
towns seem to Be doing well and .
Number Of them will go beyond the
10000 mark before Uncle Sam takes
another census.
