MINING REVIVAL.

the Wake-up.
] Carson seems to be in the line aof
the mining revival that is going On
throughout the State. Many properties
outside the county lines are chang
ing hands but all are close enough
for this city to feel the benefit Of
the capital invested and the good that
may follow.
Senator Livingston and his assoc,a-
ties have incorporated the Zirn-
Schultz mining property in the Pine
nut range and active work is pro
crossing there. This property has
produced some Of the sensational ore
Of Western Nevada and there is more
to come from the ground that has hard
~ been scratched.

| groupings on the Mammoth ledge. The
ledge has been encountered and drift
ing is now in progress. 1t is fair
prediction that this will make one OF
| the biggest mines in the entire west
as the ledge is one of the largest
known.
At Como fifty men are employed by
the new people who purchased the
Logan Hully property and it is their
| intention to place more men on the
list in the spring when a mill is to
be built and other work prosecuted.
The Ray property in the same camp
is looking we'll and great deal CT
ore is blocked out for the summer
milling. Other promising claims will
be opened in the spring and attention
will be called to the virtues of tbs

OF these papers and stated that when
he gave away copy of these papers
that he felt he was doing that person
a very great favor. Mr.. White said that
the people of Mississippi had great cause
to be proud of their Agricultural and

that he was proud o. the part which he

fishing this new station at Holly Springs

say that Mississippi Should also feel high
ly complimented in the matter of hav-
Ing furnished TO many great men who
are laboring to help build up the agri-
culture OF other states. He spoke very
highly of Prof. J. Il. Connel who went
from the A. and NJ. college to Texas,
where he is now editing The Farm and
Ranch. one of the leading agricultural
papers of the great southwest He went
On to say that before Professor Council

The people of Amory and the surround

Of the leading farmers of the community
and always attends the farmers insti-
tutes and take an active part in them.
The parson has demonstrated plainly
what can be made out of a well regu-
lated dairy in this section. He said that
his cows gave him the best revenue of
anything on his farm. He has the right
idea, for he is not only looking after
the spiritual welfare of his people but
the temporal as we'll He Is not unmnd-
full of the Injunction of the Apostle James
when he says that the man who fails

make mention of the great sweet potato
crop being grown here, this being one
of the few places where enough sweet
potatoes are grown for home use. Here
the home market is not only provided
for, but there are potatoes to ship to
other points along the line. The sweet

this time.

After the celebration was over four
large barges which were attached to a
large boat steamed into the lock with all
ease which banished every doubt in the
minds of the most skeptical that the
locks were on too small a scale. The

the work began and the first three locks,
10, II and IL were completed and opened
in 1895 at cost of $4,000. The lock which
was today. the fourth above the county
bridge, was built at a cost of $685. 300.
These four locks allow navigation the
year round for distance of twelve miles
north of this city and when the six
others are completed above. there will
be an open stream to the upper end of
the Warrior where the Mulberry and
Locust empty. When this is done Bir-
mingitam will be but twenty miles from
en- open way to the sea.
Below this city here are three other
locks, which are almost completed and
these together with two others. one ~
which has already been provided for,
will give Tuscaloosa and the Industries
which are being placed along the banks
CT the river an open river to the sea the
year round. It Is estimated that the work
below this point to the gulf will be
completed during the next two years. The
work was first begun here by the late
Col. Horace Harding. father OF w. P. q.
Harding of Birmingham and at his death
was taken mp by the late Richard c. Nc
Gala in 1896 who had the management
until his death last year. when George
H. Little was appointed engineer in chief.
