THUNDER MOUNTAIN
Mill for the Curren- CdsweI Property
General Notes of interest.

A special from Boise states that
a mill has arrived there for the
Curren-Caswell Gold Mining Co.,
owner of the Mysterious Slide
group at Thunder Mountain. 1t
will be shipped to the camp as
soon as the roads get into condi-
ton for heavy freighting, which,
i is hoped, will be about the first
of next month.
This plant consists of 5-foot
Monadnock mill, with boiler and
engine, and a small sawmill. 1t
will be put up by man sent from
the machinery house from which
it was secured, going in un6er a
guarantee that it will do all that
is claimed for it. The company
pays only the expenses of the
man sent to put it into operation.
1t is expected the mill will handle
100 tons of ore daily. The char
acter Of the ore is such that it is
anticipated the plant will develop
the maximum capacity. The val
ues will be saved by simple
amalgamation. 1t is known that
a large proportion of the gold will
amalgamate, but if it be found
too much is being lost, a cyanide
plant will be installed with which
to treat the tailings.
In the Mysterious Slide a very
large body of ore has been devel-
oped, carrying values about like
those of other properties of the
camp. 1t can be mined very
cheaply and can be made to pay
very handsomely. Martin Curren
and Ben Caswell have been de-
veloping the mine for a long time,
determining the proportions and
the value of the ore body. They
have demonstrated they have
sufficient ore to keep a large
plant running for years, and that
its grade is sufficient to assure
large profits. 1t is the intention
to double the capacity of theplant
next year.
According to reports the bond
on the Eureka property has been
taken up before the time was up
and the $50, 900 is to be paid over
at once.
The 10-stamp mill on the Dewey
is running steadily on low grade
ore, but at that about 81 per tor
was being realized. The company
run out of timber, which prevent.
ed them from stopping their best
body of ore, and it became neces
sary to work ore which was mo-
so rich in value.
The Sunnyside is running 81
: stamps of its 40 stamp mill. The
company shut down for a shor
. time to install an engine, which
will furnish additional power t.
operate the crusher.
The Adams Mining company il
, building a wagon road from tn,
, main road on Monumental creel
to its property and getting ou
! timber for the mill, which will b,
taken in from Boise as soon al
| the roads are passable.

the intention of developing tina

Mistrial Was Ordered.

Columbia, December S.-The jury
in the State House case against Mil
burn and McIlvain. Unkefer Com
pany resulted in a mistrial. After
the jury had been out for twenty
four hours Judge Gage asked the
jury if there was any hope of agree
ment. The jury did not think 80,
but he thought it we'll after the case
had been before the Court for nearly
two weeks, to take another try. 1t
was "a vain hope and in he aflerno' n
Judge Gage directed that mistrial
be entered, as it was evident that
the jury could not agreee. The talk
about the range after the jury came
out was that majority of the mem
bers of the jury were in favor of a
verdict for damages for the State
against Frank p. Milbnrn and Nell
vain Unkefer Company, but that is
another matter and all that the rec.
ords say and all that is Of moment,
is that after twelve days of work the
trial resulted in a disagreement of
the Jury.

notice on one hundred prominent
and wealthy citizens, who are said to
be liable for an income tax, but who
have been negligent in making re-
turns to show cause in his office De-
cember Is why such tax shall not be
collected. The serving of this notice
was a surprise to those concerned
and has caused great comment. Very
little attention has been paid to the
income tax by the wealthy citizens
in the city and county.

The Southern's Double Track.

The Charlotte Observer says: The
double tracking of the Southern
Railway between Washington and
Charlotte is going forward rapidly.
Forces of hands are working on a
ten mile section south of Danville,
another force is working between
Greensboro and High Point, and still
another force between Linwood and
Spencer. These sections when COM
pleted will give relief in each locality
and the other congested sections will
be at once taken up. The culverts
are all being made in the new style
of cement construction. Inside of
two years the double-tracking from
Washington to Charlotte will be
completed all the way. Sixty to
eighty miles are already completed
from Washington southwark and by
spring the thirty miles out of Dan
vile, Greensboro and Spencer will
be completed.

Interesting North Carolina Case.

Asheville, November 30.-The
case of the six daughters of Robert
Gilliland against the board of educa-
tion Of Buncombe county came up
for trial in Superior Court here
Tuesday. The case is novel one,
the plaintiffs seeking to secure a
mandamus compelling the defendant
to admit them to the white schools
of the county. They claim to be
white children, but the board in ex-
Guiding them held that they had
negro blood in their veins and are
not entitled to seats in the white
schools. The people of the county
are intensely interested over the
case and number of the leading
lawyers of western North Carolina
have been retained in the case.

AT a meeting of the stockholders
of the Anderson Traction Company
last week it was decided TO Increase
the capital stock from 100000 to
$26G,GG0 in order to build the line to
Belton. Nearly all the proposed in
crease has been subscribed for, and
will be paid in as needed. The next
step row to be taken will be to en-
ploy an engineer, and then bids for
the construction of the line will be
called for. The work will be pushed
as rapidly as possible, and it is hoped
TO have everything in readiness to
commence active work as soon as
the weather will permit.

In Memory OF Our Dear Grandma.
Written by Addie Grogan. |

Written by Addie Grogan.]
Dearest grandma, she has left us,
Left us? Yes, forever more,
But we hope to meet our dearest grandma
On that bright and happy shore.
Lonely the home and sad the house
Since our dearest one has gone,
But, oh ! brighter home than ours,
In heaven, is now her own.
Farewell, dearest grandma, but not foy>
ever,
There will be glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part no never,
On that resurrection morn.
Though thy form lies sleeping
In the cold and silent tomb,
Thou shall have a glorious waking
When the blessed Lord doth come.
The gentle voice is hushed,
Thy warm, true heart is stilled,
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast
We have kissed thy lovely brow.
And in our hearts we know
We have no grandma now.
Yet, again we hope to meet her,
In that happy home above.

Little Child Killed by Blue Ridge Engine.

One of the most pitiful accidents
that has occurred in this section hap
pened this morning about three miles
above the city, when the only child
of Mr.. and Mrs. Harmon Thompson
was killed by the incoming Blue
Ridge passenger train. The engine
was in charge of Engineer Hughes
and was running on regular time.
AT the place of the accident the
track is perfectly straight and a con-
siderable grade coming this way.
There are high weeds on both sides
of the track at the place where the
accident occurred, and the first En-
gineer Hughes saw was dog cross
the track just in front of the engine
and Immediately the child started to
follow his dog. The train was so
close by this time that no earthly
power could have stopped it in time
to save the child, and it was terribly
crushed by the heavy wheels. The
train was stopped, but nothing could
be done for the innocent little fellow.
Death was instantaneous.
Mr.. Thompson, the father, was at
the home of his mother in-law, Mrs.
Luther j. Burriss, when the acci-
dent occurred. He was soon reached
by phone, when he hurried home to
find his child, whom he had left only
short time before in health and
happiness, now cold in death.
Another sad feature is that the
mother has been very unwell for
some months, and confined to her
bed a great deal of the time and was
unable to give the child her company
and care she would like to have done.

Now Tor a Pythian 0rphanage.

The proposition to establish a
Knights of Pythias orphanage at
Williamson is, we believe, one that
will appeal to the members of the
order and to the people of the State
generally. The idea suggested is
certainly, it seems to us, better than
that of expending the accumulated
funds of the order in erecting build
ing in which to hold the annual
meetings of the Grand Lodge. The
Grand Lodge belongs to all the cities
and towns of the State and not to
any particular one. Any city or
town will be glad to entertain the
Grand Lodge at any time, and we
believe it cannot be denied that the
delegates to the Grand Lodge had
rather visit different parts of the
State each year than to go each time
to one particular place. The place
would yet jiresome and the welcome
might wear out.
A model orphanage building can
be secured and equipped and started
for the same money that it would
take to erect Grand Lodge build
ing. A particularly advantageous
offer will be made, we understand,
of the old Williamson Female Col
lege property for such purpose,
and we believe the matter will be
most favorably considered by the
members of the order when it is
fully understood.
Surely the care of orphan children
is work that the Knights of Pythias
cannot afford to ignore when the way
is opened for them to engage in it.

No Delay Tor Panama Canal.

Washington, December 11.-An
appropriation of $11,00O,00O was
voted by the House last Thursday
toward the construction of the
Panama canal. The amount was a
compromise between $16,50O,OOO,
carried by the bill, and the estimate
of something more than $6,O0O,OOO
recommended by Williams, the Dem
ocratic leader, to carry on the work
until the middle of January.
There is no intention to DELAY the
work, the 0nlv argument for cutting
down the appropriation being that
closer scrutiny might be had of the
estimate.

Fine Marlboro Land Brings Nigh Price.

Bennettsville, December 8.--Marl-
boro county is beyond doubt enjoy
ing season of unprecedented pros
perity-the banks, FIVE in number, in
the county are burdened with de-
posits of prosperous farmers, as all
classes of farmers, even one and two
horse tenants, have cleared from
800 to $500 per horse. They used
economy during growing and culti-
waiting seasons, the price advanced
and is still high, consequently IL to
II cent cotton has filled the pockets
of all industrious tillers of the soil.
Lands are very high, all classes
commanding extremely exorbitant
prices, even for rent, as from $3.50
to so per acre is the ordinary rent
ing price for the choice plantations.
George Mccall, near Blenheim,
during tbs days of reconstruction,
purchased a plantation by paying the
back taxes on it, as it was being sold
for taxes by the Sheriff. A few
days ago he sold the entire place to
DR.. Chas. r. May for 800 per acre.
Edwin Moore has been offered
$112.50 per acre for 800 acre plan
tation five miles north of town, but
he is asking 1925 per acre.

Sending Out the Seeds.

The annual distribution of vegeta-
BILE and flower seeds by the Depart
ment of Agriculture began on De-
cember l. Before planting time it is
expected the entire amount, aggre-
eating 3S,000,000 packages, will be
in the hands of the people in all sec.
tions of the country.
Congress, for the past several years,
has appropriated $290,000 for this
purpose, but a portion of the amount
is used for foreign experiment work
and other kindred matters. The
bulk of the 3S,000,OO0 packages is
subject to the order of Senators and
Representatives for distribution
among their constituents, the Secre-
,ary of Agriculture reserving one
fifth of the entire amount to supply
the statistical crop correspondents,
the weather bureau and for other
purposes.
The country has been divided into
six sections with especial regard to
climate and soils, and the seeds will
be sent only TO those localities in
which their propagation and growth
is believed to be especially adapted.
In addition to those of the vegetable
and flower variety the department
sends out quantities of cotton, for
age and field seeds to localities to
which they are best suited and from
which it is thought good results may
be obtained.
