To-day the name-Goldfield, Nevada
stands above every other name on the
list of mining camps. Cripple Creek,
Colorado, IS famous the world over. 1t
took Cripple Creek four years to pro-
ouce what Goldheld has accomplished In
one year and six weeks. And the beauty
OF Il all is that the locator, the pros
pector and the lessee are the ones who
have produced these results and reaped
the benefits.
Goldfeld has appropriately been call
ed the poor mans camp. The mines
mentioned above have never been sur
passed, but TO them a long list may be
added: Diamondheld, with it's wonder
ful Black Butte, a mountain of ore; the
Quartzite, Vernal, Daisy, Apex, Great
Bend, Goldheld-Tonopah and Tonopah
Club. then the Velvet, the Red Top,
Florence, Portland, st. Ives, Patrick,
Lone Star and Simmerone.
The field is almost unlimited and adj
5aeent districts are rapidly giving every
proof of their great mineral wealth.

OF commerce says:
THE first year of Goldheld's history
was practically finished December 1,
1904, though active development was
not begun until February. The show,
ing during this time is a grand total of
$3.50 900. When one considers that the
mines giving this enormous return are
only few of the many mines of the
district, one may well wonder what the
next year will bring forth.

'sThe Goldfield discussed above is now
but q small affair with what it prom
ises to be. 1t is situated in the center
Of a great mineral zone, extending for
many miles on all sides, from the Com
stock on the north to the Anargosa
Valley on the south. There are a score
Of good paying mines idle to-day, only
awaiting capital and energy to yield
their golden stream. From Mexico we
hear of American capital pouring in to
take up and work low-grade mines for
$S and SO per ton, while in Nevada
there are scores of mines running over
SIS per ton idle for want of capital.
With the advent of Goldfield much OF
this will be changed, and this great
camp, being the richest producer of this
vast zone, will undoubtedly become the
center or base of operations. To the
north, east, south and west new and
promising camps are Springing into be-
ing. Truly, the name is no misnomer
and lucky is Nevada to have this new
jewel added to her laurels"

 There is a lesson in all this for all other banks "in the provinces" Don't become too dependent upon the great speculative center of the country, for in such a center no one knows what a day may bring forth. Stand at least to some extent on your own feet, so that when a pinch comes a New York refusal will not be disastrous. The Memphis bankers who have closed their doors admit that they they were not in a condition to realize on their loans fast enough to meet demands They had taken on too much business, had spread out too much, had made too many advances in the purchase of other properties.

Qualifications fer Office.

Every citizen is an elector, but every elector is not "a qualified elector" In Louisiana a discussion has arisen over the phrase, "a qualified elector," and the state officials disagree over it. "A man." says Governor Blanchard, may be an elector of the state, and yet not a voter in it, simply because he did not register and did not pay the two pre- ceding poll taxes" Governor Blanch- ards contention that an elector is not a voter, does not interest Alabama, for the constitution of 1901 plainly distin- guishes between electors and qualified electors. Males who are 21 years of age are electors, but all males of that age are not qualified electors. They may not be registered and they may not have paid all poll taxes assessed against them respectively. The con stltution of 1901 plainly draws a line between electors" aud qualified electors"
 The Louisiana constitution says that a qualified elector only is eligible to office in that state. On this point the Alabama constitution is indefinite and hay. Any resident citizen 30 years old can become governor of Alabama, and presumably a citizen who is eligi- ble for the states highest office is eligible for all other offices in the gift of the people. The question is, how ever, an open one, and the supreme court is the sole arbiter of this as well as of all other debatable law propo- sitions of state interest.
 There is, however little to be gained from a study of the Louisiana quibble over distinctions between electors and voters, for our constitution plainly recognizes electors" and qualified electors" and defines the differences between them, but it nowhere says that ofice-holding is a privilege con fined to the latter.

tonnage of the Walsh line over to the other roads in order to find a market for the coal. Recently the Chicago and East ern Illinois road found itself unable to handle the Walsh cars.
 Haul them or I'll build a road to Chi cago and you will not get pound of the coal from the mines along my road,' said Walsh.
 This was resented by the Moores of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois. In retaila- tion they bought all the mines along the Walsh road which Walsh had not bought and diverted that traffic to their own road
 Walsh's Southern Indiana railway the officers of it are referred to as merely his hired mem is all but completed through to Chicago. "The Walsh river bridge on the Chicago extension" accord ing to the 1905 report of the directors, will be finished by the close of the year. When this is done the line will be op- erated to Humrick, thus giving connection with the c. H. & D. and the Glover Leaf" Track laying on the Chicago Southern, as the line is called from Humrick north- ward to Chicago, is expected to be com pleted by January next. Various coal branches have been completed and an ex- tension of seventy miles from Black hawk to Indianapolis 'it is hoped to have completed In the fall of 19O6.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
The TeIephons Women.

4fhe young women telephone operators are worked harder during the holidays than at any other time in the year said a telephone official
 They are kept busy throughout the year. when it is estimated that 2O0ooo per sons use telephones daily. By this l do not mean to convey the idea that 2oeoOO different persons call up central. One per son may call up twenty-five times and many do, but it is just as hard work for the young women in the exchange to an- swer one person that number of times as it is as many separate persons. With all this understood the amount of labor necessary is not hard 10 realize. To this statement l want to add that during the holidays at least 5000 additional calls are made. The young women In the Bir- mingham Belis exchange were extremely busy during the present holidays. If per sons who grew angry at not receiving an answer as soon as he or she put the re- ceiver to their ear, l believe they would have been more eonsiderate."

state.

Chairman Shonts and Chief Engineer Stevens both favor lock canal, but the height of the canal above the sea Is not the chief question. It Is an i'm portant question, and it will undoubt- edly be decided by Congress before adjournment. It must be decided per haps before the still greater practical question can be taken up.
 The chief working question is this, Shall the canal be built by the gov ernment acting directly, or shall it be built by contract?' This is a big ques- tion, and 1t is also an interesting ques- tion.
 The south has some interest in this project. for If the work is to be done by contractors, those contractors will buy lumber and other articles where they can get them at lowest rates. They will use the Gulf ports instead of the North Atlantic ports. If. on the other hand, the government is to dig the canal, the republican machine will see that all favors go to the North At lantic ports, as is the case at present. New York is getting the bulk of all orders from the canal, and it will con tinue to fill orders from the canal zone unless contractors are resorted to- A contractor is no respecter of pull" He Is looking for profits. Pull is the an tithesis of profits.
 Senator Willard, the new chairman of the interooeanic canal committee, favors the building of the canal by contract, and he should be able to se- cure plenty of support among southern Senators.

Faster Schedule Promised.

"I understand that the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company will after the first of next month. attempt a thirty-minute schedule between this city and Bessemer on the North Bessemer line," said man at the Morris last night.
 'The run is made with the present schedule in about forty-five minutes, understand, but it Is said that the off, cials hope to make better time on ac- count of the building of the new viaduct at Bessemer, which will obviate delays occasioned by trains on the old crossing
 Tt may be necessary to speed the cars, but it Is stated by officials of the road that the cars have capacity of double the present speed.
 This line Is equipped with a very fine rosdbed said to be as good as any steam railroad in this section. and will admit of exceptionally high speed. It may be depended upon that the company will in- augurate and maintain as fine service on these interurban lines as is possible"

Street Car Conductors.

T read story recently wherein Bir- mingham street car conductors were crit iczed for leaving ear doors open during cold weather" remarked citizen. "I have occasion to ride on many different lines, and as a whole the conductors are considerate and oblging, and do their best to provide for the comfort of pas sengers. l reside in Norwood. and I can state with pleasure that never in my life have I seen more polite, obliging and ac- commodating conductors than on the Nor7' wood- -Idewld line. They are attentive to the wants of women and children, and in fact to all passengers.
 Complaint has been made of cold cars. I understand that the street car em- ployes have instructions not to turn on the heat unless the weather man indi- cates a 45 degree of cold. Give the street car company employees chance. Their duties are exasperating enough to cause them to lose their tempers, as they may do sometimes, though I have never wit messed a conductor or motorman who was ruffled on a car on which l was pas senger"

Three Memphis Banks.

The failure of three banks In Mem phis shows how intimately and closely country banks are connected with the country's financial center. If call money had not commanded in New York almost unexampled rates, the three Memphis banks would today have open instead of closed doors. The stringency in money in New York ex- tends also to time money, although the rates for the latter are not extra ordinary. Call money has not com manded higher rates since the panicky period in the spring of 1901.
 The three banks in Memphis had lndulged in too many loans, and when they needed assistance they called for bA-trom New York; and New Yorks

Face Study in Montgomery.

While in Birmingham" said a Mont gomery l had not noticed before. It something I had not noticed before. It was the Birmingham face. For nearly one hour I stood on crowded street corner and watched those Birmingham CTS with interest as they went tearing by. Every one of them, men and wom- en, had a hunted, haunted, wild look in his face. It was the look of one who in- tends to get ahead of the other fellow. That is the spirit that pervades the great cities of the country the look of the men, and women who are out to make money and best their competitors. Un- doubtedly this is the spirit that has made Birmingham what 1t is and what 1t will be.
 Just whether this is compliment to Birmingham l am not going to say. believe our people, with their happy, contented, smiling face make the best impression, but the Birmingham man would tell you that only slow people, old fogies as they please to call them, wear the contented look.'

Auuust Rather Than April.

Harmony reigns in the democratic party in Alabama, and from all sides come expressions in favor of a late primary-as late as August at any rate. So clear is public sentiment as to this that an unanimous vote in the state executive committee at it's meeting early in January would not be a bit surprising.
 MT. Roden is right when he says the state committee should seek to in crease the vote of the state by gather ing in all the young men who have ar rived at the voting age in the last two years. This can be done by holding the primary in August. whereas an April primary would cut every one Of them out until 1908. This would be both unjust and unnecessary, and the entire state seems to be swinging over to an opinion in favor of late prl- mary.
 Nor should MT. Rodens point touch ing the leisure of farmers and mer- chants in August be overlooked. It is the best month in the year for politics. The roads are good in August, and the farmers and merchants are not busy. All things conspire in favor of the Au- gust primary, and the entire subject may safely be remitted to the state committee. which will come together from all parts of the state next month, The members will assemble well-filled with the views of merchants and farm CTS in relation to the time for holding the state primary, and what the mer' chants and farmers want goes In this state.

Social PhlIanthropists."

John Yeatman and Ben Reynolds are what l would call social philanthropy ists. said a young college man yester- day, who is spending the holidays in Birmingham. Their great mission in life seems to be in helping young fellows smooth out their tangled engagements with the fair sex. arranging for the boys to double up in using hacks so as to cut their livery bills in half, and making themselves almost indispensable in many ways. Their kindnesses extend not only to us boys, but to the women folks as well; there are many hostesses in Br- mingham whose lists they have checked. and parties they have promoted. In fact don't know what Birmingham society would do without these two popular fel- loWs."

STARTED BY SOUND.
From Public Opinion.

From Public Opinion.
 Expositions and similar enterprises are usually .opened' by an official touching button at some distant point and the pressing of the button likewise sets in motion machinery in the various de- partments. Recently 1t has been demon strated that the same proceeding may be gone through with wireless telegra- phy and now we are told that similar effects may be obtained by the use of sound waves. Writing on this subject in the Independence Beige of Brussels, Dr. Airelle says ''the use of the electric button for putting machinery in motion is commonplace, but to use sound for the same purpose Is certainly novel. This is accomplished by making use of the property which certain forms of resonat- ors-membranes, cords and so forth--have of being placed in vibration by sounds which are pitched In the right key.
 M Michel uses "an ordinary acoustic resonator which contains disk turning an axis oblique to the longitudinal axis of tho resonator. As soon as the note is struck which is capable of putting the resonator in vibration the disk remains at rest until the sound is made to which the resonator is harmonized. The disk then begins to turn, and as it's axis is movable the tendency Is to place the sur face of the disk vertical to the longitud- inal axis of the resonator. As the disk is connected with an electric battery cir cult may be thus closed and kept so as long as the characteristic sound is made.
 The new scheme has many possibili- ties. For example, locomotive by whist ling before a signal could open or close 1t, and many other useful appliances might be made. This is true for the ingen- ious photogra phic apparatus of Schillngs, which is designed to photograph wild animals in a natural state. The con ditions necessary for taking Schillngs photograph are that the animal set off the hashlight and open the shutter it. self Under the new arrangement the re- senator could be harmonized to the cry of wild beast or the call of a bird and the shutter would be at once opened. the flash exploded and the negative made. The acoustic effects may also be varied in different ways by sounding t'bes.

Regarding Fires.

Fire losses would be greatly dimln- ished if more care were taken in the con struction of buildings" said an insurance man of Atlanta. "Of course, every city should maintain a first-class fire depart ment and in addition to that 1t should have rigid building laws and a cofnpeteDt building inspector who would look espe- cially after furnace fues and electric wiring.
 "A large percentage of the fires nowa- days are caused by defective wiring Flimsy buildings should never be allowed in the business district of any city,
