Andrew came to camp, hunted

throwing them down with look

how to cook eagles!"

Trinity Tubers.

Those were certainly "some po-
tatoes"-the two samples brought
down from Trinity last week by
George Pool, who left them at
this office. They were OF the
Early Rose and Blue Victor vari-
eties, and we're grown by D. M.
holland. The Early Rose measur-
ed 144x134x75 inches and weighed
II ounces: the Blue Victor also
weighed II ounces, but is different
in shape, being 1Ox113x95 inches.
They are sound and very attract
i've, and demonstrate the unusual
adaptability of the soil for tuber
culture. Similar gratifying re-
suits, however, says Mr.. Pool, are
obtained in connection with veget-
ables and cereals of all kinds.

IMPROVING TENEMENTS
Also Intends Embarking in the pOui-
try Business.

For several months past w. L..
Thurman has been making i'm
provements on his tenements in
Thurman Addition. A short time
ago he built three new houses, a
large barn and henhouse, and is
now enlarging each Of the two lat
ter improvements, in addition to
building a commodious stone Gel
lar.
Mr.. Thurman recently sunk a
new we'll, going down about 30 feet.
This is entirely cemented from the
water line to the ground surface.
The old barbed wire fence sur.
rounding the 5.acre tract has been
repaired, and a new fence will now
be put up, separating the houses
from the field.
A matter of some interest in Mr..
Thurman's plans for the immediate
future is the statement that he con
templates entering at once into the
poultry business on a large scale
He has now about 80 fowls and will
add at least 100 more to the flock

week. AS soon as possible there
after he will begin to supply eggs
and poultry to the local market.

That's the situation however
since last Friday, September %,

Sherman Bell of the Mountain
Home Electric Co. and Manager
T. e. Preston of the construction
department, who made thingshum
in this city?
Not thing-they're all rightl
On July 6, 1905, the Village
Trustees passed the ordinance (No.
81 granting Bell and his associa-
tes the franchise. By its terms
they were to begin work within
60 days and have the plant COM
pleted within six months. This
would give the company until
January 6, 1906, to illuminate the
town.
The lights were turned on Octo-
Der /, 1905-three months and five
days ahead of the limit, and less
than three months from the pas.
sage of the ordinance. That is,
they were ready on that date for
commercial purposes; the lights
were turned on, at intervals, du-
ring the last week of September to
test and perfect the various parts
of the plant.
Last Friday night the affair was
duly filed and placed on record by
social dance, given under the
auspices of T. e. Preston and f.
Moore. There was large attend
ance; the music was unusually
good, and Terpsichore smiled on
her subjects until about Il 80.
Those are the kind of business
men Mountain Home needs; and,
by the same token, those are the
kind of business men who need
Mountain Home, because each is
benefited by the advent and oppor-
tunities of the other.
An unexpected aggravation
tending to interfere with the light
service is the scarcity of water.
Mr.. Preston is making strenuous
efforts to secure an adequate sup
ply in the company's new we'll at
the power house, and hopes to
soon overcome the difficulty.

BLACK WARRIOR
Some Persons and Things That Are
Moving There Now.

A party of gentlemen connected
With the construction department
OF the New Century Exploration
and Investment Co., arrived in
Mountain Home last Tuesday, and
went up into the upper country
Wy the Wednesday morning stage.
The headquarters Of the company
are in Chicago, and it has been for
the past two or three years operat.

The gentlemen making up this
party were H. A. Button, superin-

all of Lake Geneva, Wis. They
expected to meet here F. J. Con-

ger of the company's interests in
the Black Warrior, but he had
preceded them.
The New Century company has
43 claims in the Black Warrior
district, in various stages of devel-
opment; none, as yet, what can be
properly called producing mines,
but three of them in an advanced
stage of development.
The greatest of all these claims,
so far as present conditions show,
though not the most advanced, is
the Mammoth Rico, situated on
the main Queens River, about l3
miles beyond Atlanta. The devel-
opment work done on this mine
thus far has been chiefly tunnel
work. The machinery is now on
the ground for a 50-stamp Ell Paso
mill for this mine,
Most prominent among the COM
pany's properties, aside from the
Rico, are two groups situated on
opnosite sides of Little Queen's
River, called the Upper and Low
er Queens River groups. The
Upper is about s miles from At.
lanta and the Lower about IL
A ten-ton Kincaid mill on the up
per group is now ready for opera
ton, and similar mill on the
lower group will be ready before
long.
The work which Mr.. Button
and his assistants are to push just
now is the building of the com
pany's mills and the erection O.
barracks for the miners who arr
now employed and those who shall
be put on, so that they can b
comfortably housed by the time
severe cold weather comes on, anC

on vigorously through the winter
