New Machinery for TOmbigbee Mills

NEW mdCHiiSIf tV' tUibut9uec mHiS'
The directors of the Tom big
bee Mills are investing $40, 900 in
new machinery to replace that
which is old and worn, and for
the next few weeks the mills will
be closed so that the new ma
terial may be installed. The i'm
provements will be principally
in the card room where all the
machinery now in use will be re-
moved to give place to that which
is new and up-to date. 1t will
require possibly a month to make
the contemplated additions dur
ing which time the large number
of hands employed by the mill
will be out of employment.

COMPROMISE
PLATFORM
Both Hill and Bryan Satisfied Parker
Delegates in q Hole But Are
Confident.

ST. Louis, July 8-The platform,
which is a compromise, was claimed by
both Hill and Bryan to be satisfactory.
Hill said Parker would stand on it
and Bryan that he would support the
candidate on that platform.
Despite Hills belief, however, there
was much dissatisfaction at the Parker
and consequent jubilation
among his opponents.
The Parker leaders said that the
Judge, if nominated, would have to dis
5cuss his financial views in a letter of
acceptance, if he hoped to carry New
York.
They still look for his nomination on
second ballot.
The opponents claim to be able to
control more than the necessary one
third, and say if it can hold strength
until the third or fourth ballot COM
promise candidate will be named
Olney or Gray are said to be ac-
ceptable to Bryan as a compromise.

JAPAN'S SIREN NGTH. ON 4 J.
THE FIELD OF BATTLE

London, July s. There are four jap
anese armies now in the field, three OF
which are acting in co operation in the
general advance against General Kuro-
Epatkin in Manchuria, leaving the fourth
engaged in the siege of Port Arthur.
The four armies are accompanied re-
spectively by Generals Kuroki, Oku,
Nodzu and Nogi. Marquis Oyama, the
commander-in-chief, is expected in
Manchuria the coming week to take
supreme command of the four armies.
The first army, General Kuroki's is
that which 3diseinbarked at Chenulpho
between Feb. s and March /, consisting
OF 22, 500 men 600 corilbatants and
$500 coolies-with 5000 horses and
thirty-six guns and an immense supply
.of stores and ammunition This army
lis that which marched through Corea
to the Yalu, crossed that river at the
battle Of Chin LIEN Cheng on May i,
and having occdpied Feng- Wang
sCheng, has made its headquarters
there pending the development of the
plan Of campaign.
Kuroki's army was originally conn
posed Of the Imperial Guards division,
the second and twelfth divisions, and
possibly has been reinforced by the
seventh, eighth and ninth divisions,
those three being kept back for dispo-
sition as circumstances might re-
quire. isa sS
The, second army, under General
Oku, IS that which was landed at Pit,

THERE is A SPLIT
In THE MECHANICS

Philadelphia, Pa, July 8.--The Jun
ior Order of United American Me-
chanics, which has been in existence
half a century and has membership
that extends throughout the entire
country, is facing a critical situation
as result of the dissensiont in its
ranks. There has been trouble in the
order for years, but it was not until
recently that matters reached an acute
stage. The national convention was in
session at Minneapolis in June, 1900,
when the national council made
changes in the object of the order, it
is said. Many of the members de-
|clared that this action was arbitrary and
that the matter should have been put
to popular vote. The council de-
cided to establish an insurance branch,
and appropriated money from the ma
tional council to defray expenses. lm-
mediately after convention protest
came from five states. It was ignored.
The insurgents refused to pay any
more per capita tax. Charges were
preferred against the state council OF
Pennsylvania and there was a trial be-
fore the judiciary board Of the national
body. AS result the state council
was directed to pay the national tax
or forfeit it's charter. The tax was
paid Sd
Then the insurgents, representing
seveflty-iye councils, asked the nation
jail board to call special session to-
settle the differences. The reque&
was ignored. The council was threat
Eened with nlandamus proceedings, and
a call for IA meeting for june, 1900, was
issued. Seven days before this meet
ing the national council met in Phila-
Hdelphia and decided that any subor-
.dinate council delinquent in its per
capita tax could not be represented in
the state councils session. More,
trouble ensued and the feeling grew
very bitter The subordinate councils
insisted upon representation, and were
arrested and fined for contempt Of
court.
In September the act Of secession was
officially carried out, and the insur-.
gents instituted suit to- determine
which set Of officers had been regularly
elected. No decision was rendered
until last month, when the court de-
ciared in favor of the officers chosen
by the regulars, and said they were
entitled to act for the order. This
led to the final split in the order Two
weeks ago the insurgents met in cofl-
yention at Reading and organized tirl-
der the name of the Order of indie
pendent Americans The promoters
of the ifisur gent movement are now

NEW STRIKE MADE
in The BELMONT
Ore Encountered 400 Feet
East of the Main Shaft
Find Is Important As 1t Adds
Considerably to the Extent
of Mineral Belt.

One OF the most important strikes
for some time in the camp is that in
the 800 foot level of the Belmont,
which was made this week. Between
four and five feet Of high grade ore
has been opened up and crosscutting
is still progressing in order to deter
mine the full width and average value
of the ledge.
From the 800 level, a short dis
tance north of the shaft, a drift 400
feet long has been run almost due
east. At the farther end of the drift
a crosscut was run north 100 feet.
and this has cut four foot vein of
high grade ore The vein has been
drifted on for something over 100
feet and for the entire distance has
preserved fairly uniform width and
value of ore. The present breast
shows the ledge with the usual north
erly dip and having the same general
characteristics Of the Mizpah veins.
OF which it is one of the extensions.
Work is now being pushed easterly
on this vein.
The crosscut which passed through
this ledge was continued on to the
north, and at distance of eight feet
another vein has just been struck.
This is the vein to which so much i'm
portance attaches. Up to last night
four feet of ore had been cut. while
the north wall has not been reached
This vein seems to lie rudely parallel
to its sister vein, eighty feet to the
south, and contains similar ore to
that of the Oddie mountain ledpes
and has about the same general
strike. II anything it stands more
nearly perpendicular. A considerable
amount of the ore contains the rich
black sulphides which are so uniyer-
sally high grade. These two veins
now show measurable body of ore
farther to the east than ANYTHING
yet developed in Oddie mountain,
while their locus reveals the vein
system, with its ores, well under and
indeed triAe past the apex of the
mountain, excepting that it lies
some what south, perhaps 500 feet, of
the fagpole.
