1T WAS A VERY UNUSUAL CASE.

Lester Blain and w. II. Traitor, the
Mayfeld men who fought in the fed

were given sentences for contempt OF
court before adjournment IL will
be remembered they had regular
battle in which Blain tried to cut
Traitor Judge Evans gave Traitor
five days in Jail and Blain 60 days in
jail with a $50 fine.
A peculiar point comes up in this
case which will prevent the local au-
thorities from taking any action
against Blain. II was proven in court
yesterday that Blain tried to cut
Trailor, which is a felony. Under
the federal laws, the crime having
been committed on federal property.
the local or circuit authorities can
take no action, and IL an Indictment
Is returned, must be by the federal
grand jury.
District Attorney Hill stated at the
train this morning that the federal
grand jury could indict them, but
that the punishment already inflicted
was probably enough and no action
would be taken against them further
than the fine and sentence of Judge
Evans.
II is probably not generally known
that the government building and
yard is the one spot in the city of
Paducah that is totally exempt from

ing the Individual mines. His part Of
the work Is illustrated by eight pho
Geographic plates and thlrty-one draw
ings.
The minerals forming the ore de-
poslts and associated with them in
this district are galena, cerussite.
pyromorphite, sulphur, sphalerite

greenockite, chalcopyrite, malachite.
fiuorile, barite, calcite, quartz, kao-
Unite and ankerite. In addition TO
these small quantities Of some Of
the hydrocarbon combounds are oc-
c0slonally found in the veins. OF all
these minerals, only nuorite. barite,
galena, sphalerite and smlthsonlte
are known TO be Of economic import
ance within the district.
The ore deposits thus far develop
ed are somewhat unevenly dlstribut-
ed through Crittenden. Livingston
g1d Caldwell counties. At the pres
ent time. as In the past history OF
mining in this region, the mines OF
Crlttenden county include not only
the largest producers in the district
but the largest number OF produc-
tive veins as we'll.
The successful development of the
district Is primarily dependent on the
tluorte, as in the majority of the
veins the lead and zinc ores can be
considered only as by-products. and
in many cases perhaps as mere i'm
purlties in the fuorlte. Most OF the
mines are as yet In the oxidized
zone, and much of the ore from this
belt must be cleaned before ship
ping. with depth. however, the
veins will become better defined and
the ores cleaner. Further develop
INIT along the veins now mined will
undoubtedly be advantageous. Bet
ter transportation and shipping IA
oilities will help to increase the out
put of the district.

ORE KNOB n
Party of Capitalists Go to Ashe Cnun-
ty to Inspect Working of Copper
Mines.

A party of capitalists, consisting Of
o. S. Garretson, of Buffalo, n. Y; L..
H. Weissleder, of Cincinnati, and w.
0. Ash, c. G. Sample and w. B.. Hill.
Of New York, passed through the city
this morning on their way to Ashe
county for the purpose of inspecting
the working of the Ore Knob copper
mines in that county.
These are the mines that James T..
Clayton. we'll known throughout the
western part Of North Carolina, oper-
ated for many years. Mr.. Clayton
built Il fine road fifty-five miles long to
transport the inGots of copper 10 the
railroad at Marion, Va, and be made
a great deal of money out of it. When
the price OF copper no longer admitted
OF such expensive transportation the
mines We're closed down.
Since that time several parties have
investigated the mines with the view
of working them. The one is a low
grade s~ulphurette, containing an av-
erase of about 6 per e copper, and
the problem has been to work that low
grade successfully. About three years
ago Mr.. Oliver S. Garretson invented
Il furnace that would use the sulphur
of the ore as fuel, thereby saving that
much cost and attracted by the 100000
tons Of ore left on the dumps Dy Mr..
Clayton began operating the mine, but
under his contract with the Clayton
heirs he had to pay too high a royalty
SO closed down.
Now it is learned some improve
ments have been made in the furnace
and also some concessions in the lease
and the company has been reorganized.
Operations have been resumed and this
party of capitalists is now visiting the
mines to see how nstters are working.

OUTING. TREAT AND SACRIFICE

Under the above heading we find in
the Charlotte Chronicle Of Monday the
editorial published below. It does not
sound like the production of the vivid
imagination of Il newspaper man out
on the hunt for Il sensational article or
for something with which to fill the
columns of his paper. 1t has the ring
of truth and reality in it. We prefer
to think that The Chronicle writer saw
what he depicts in his editorial rather
than that the story was a child of his
own Imagination. That boy may not
make a great statesman or may not
set the world afire with his genius, but
no one can deny that of such men is
made the foundation of Society-0t
that society which moulds the senti-
ment and forms the character of the
people who WELD the destinies of ma
tions. Where could you find a better
illustration of that un~selishness, OF
that principle on which the Savior

a few chocolate drops. But one must
not look at the actual transaction fron
the standpoint Of those to whom this

place of those three persons. On that

The Tarboro Southerner makes COM
psaint that in many parts of the no
ence" districts of that county the pub
lie roads are injured by The farmers
blowing into the public roads from the
fields on either side. This is the first
complaint of this kind that has come
to our notice. A stop should be put
to this at once wherever it occurs.
Good roads cannot be kept up if their
sides are continually broken up by the
plowmen in the adjacent fields. The
public roads ire for the use of the
public and in many counties are kept
up at heavy expense to the ~tax-paying
public, and the county officials should
see to it that the work of the road
makers is not interfered with by the
owners of land bordering on the road.
