QUARTERMASTER HAS
NO INSTRUCTIONS YET
Concerning Government Plans for
Tybee Island Road.


Thus far no announcement has been
made to Capt. Davidson, quartermaster
in charge of the Fort Screven improve
ments, regarding the proposed Tybee
Island road. in which Col. Anderson
has taken a great interest.
1t is not likely that anything will be
done in the matter until the return
of United States engineers, as it is
under his department that the work
will be done. if at all. In speaking of
the road question yesterday Capt.
Davidson said:
Nothing has been said to me, Off
cially or unofticialy, regarding the
road and the first l knew that Col.
Anderson was taking an interest in it
was when l saw the report in the
Morning News. That 1 have not heard
of it. however, is nothing to indicate
that the project will not be pushed
through, for it is a matter that does
not come under my department.
Il do have the power, when properly
authorized, to build roads in govern
ment reservations and around different
forts for the purpose of moving armies
or divisions. For this purpose we can
use the moneys of the War Depart
ment, after the proper course has been
taken. The Tybee Island road, how
ever, is entirely different, and before
any work could be done on it, special
appropriation would have to be OBJ
tanned.
When that has been done the mat
ter might be given into my charge for
the completion of the work. 1t is prob
able that the project will be carried
out through the engineers depart
in 1t.
Col. Quinn is at present in New York
attending to business relative to the
engineering department. He is ex-
pected to return to the city about the
first of the month and at that time
the matter of the Tybee Island road
may be taken up with him by Col. An
darsou

Personal Affairs and to the Pub
lie at the Same Time. Has De-
cided to Give Up Public Office

Real Estate and Collecting Bust
ness-No IntimatiOn as to His Sue
cessOr.
Mr.. P. a. Waring will tender his
resignation as assistant postmaster at
Savannah after a service of nearly
twenty years.
This announcement was made yes
terday morning by Mr.. Waring to
friends, and occasioned no surprise. He
stated to a representative of the
Morning News that while he had not
yet handed in his resignation, he will
do so, and will devote his time TO the
real estate and collecting business in
the future.
Il find my business. as well as that
of the public, has grown so large that
it is impossible to do justice to both,
said Mr. Waring in explaining why he
is going to leave the postoffice.

Enumeration as the public office I hold

tate. in looking after the property of
my brother and sister, and in keeping

hands full. To remain in the service
of the government would mean that
] would have TO neglect one or the
other.
Realizing that this condition exists,
and that the public office and my pri-
vate work cannot both be done properly
at the same time. 1 have made up my
mind to devote all of my time and at
tention to that which is more import
ant and more remunerative to me. 1
Will engage exclusively in the real es-
tate and collecting business"
1t is not known who will succeed Mr..
Warning as assistant postmaster. The
position is by appointment upon the
recommendation of the postmaster. So
far as is known Postmaster Blum has
not indicated who he will recommend
for the place and will hardly reach any
decision before the filing of Mr.. War
ing's resignation.
For the last week or two Postoffce
Inspectors Gregory and Phulsifer have
been in Savannah and are still here.

Additional Seats for Gospel Tent.

Rev. ]. A. Smith, who returned last
night from Blackshear, was met at
the Gospel tent by number of per-
sons, who announced that it would be
absolutely necessary for additional
seats to be put in the tent to accom-
modate the crowds that were assem-

in position to-day. Rev. and Mrs.
Clark and their two children, singers
and musicians are still with Rev. Mr..

 All the preliminaries required for the incorporation of the company which Is to be known as he Fl Dora do Gold & Silver Mining company. have been completed and several blocks of stock have been disposed of.
 The ore exhibited in Douglas during his visit home this time Is certainly an eye-opener and calculated to be a purse opener as well as an eye-open- CT
 The amount of work done SO far On the group of mines which goes into the new company is not large. but from the shaft now being sunk on one of the claims enormously rich ore has been encountered all the way down. This shaft was originally started by W. s. Owens, the original locator. He encountered a bunch of the rich ore very near the surface. and with a hammer pounded out more than one thousand dollars in gold which he sold at the mint. BIr. Goshen found the rich ore again at thirty-eight feet, and took considerable that would give more than one hundred thousand dol lars to the ton.
 Mir. Goshen. when he reaches camp, will put some more men to work; three men are now sinking on the shaft Where the ledge is cut in two places by a gulch good copper ore Is in place on the surface. At one place samples across two feet of the ledge give value of s24 per ton in gold. and more than eighty ounces of siiver At another place on the same ledge which runs the full length of three full claims samples taken across six feet gave value of $6 in gold.
 Mr. Goshen has been congratulated by his Friends in Douglas on the splen- did prospect he has for developing one of the most valuable gold mines to be found in Jne west. Mir. J. T.

 The mines are located in one of the richest mineral districts in Southern Ar.ZOna which has been practically dormant heretofore because of it's iso- lation and want of transportation fa- cilities which is now assured.
