News and Observer.
The ':shOo-fy' train on the Sea-
board between Raleigh and Weldon
has proven one of the most popular
trains in the State. And now the
SeabOard announces that it will put
on a new train on the Carolina Cen
trail Railroad that will give Char
lotte as good arrangements as the
"shOo-fy' gave to Raleigh.
ed April 18th, between Wilmington
and Rutherfordton, will be of great
advantage to the people living on
the Carolina Central. 1t will also be
of great service to travel moving
from this territory to the southwest,
as people can leave Raleigh at 400
p. m. on through train to Atlanta
and Birmingham, making connec-
ton at these points with the Atlanta
and West Point Railway and Frisco
System. 1t will also give people
living between Wilmington and
Hamlet an opportunity to leave
home in the morning arriving Raj
eigh 1850 a. M, leave Raleigh 400
p. M, and return home the same
day. 1t will give people from Raj
eigh and points North of Hamlet OPP
portunity of leaving home in the
afternoon and reaching Wilmington
and Wrightsville Beach the same
night. The best advantage to be
gained by this train for the local
travel is that people living east OF
Hamlet can spend the day in Char
lotte and return home the same day,
or leave the mountains and reach
Wilmington or Wrightsville Beach
in one day. 1t gives the people west

SOUTH DAKOTA
Declines to Become Collecting
Agent Of the New York Syndicate
to Force Collection Of the Dis
honored North Carolina Carpet
Bag Bonds.

r. ]. Pence in Raleigh News and Observer
Washington, d. e.. April 1S-The
State OF South Dakota. acting upon
the authority OF Governor ). II. Ell
rod, has declined to become the col
Letting agent Of the New York bond
shylocks, who are seeking to force
the payment of carpet-bag bonds
through the medium OF one OF the
sovereign States Of the Union.
Dishonorcd North Carolina bonds,
issued by the carpet-baggers Of re-
construction times, which call for
principal and interest amounting to
$50, 900, have been offered to the
State OF South Dakota by the New
York syndicate. headed by +. L. An
drews. They We're promptly declined
by Governor ElrOd OF that State. who
declared in a letter to the donors that
the offer was against public policy
and good conscience
In following the example OF the
State Of Michigan and New York, the
fact should not be overlooked that
the State OF South Dakota did accept
the second mortgage bonds issued
by North Carolina for the cOnstruc-
ton OF the Western North Carolina
Railroad, which were compromised
after much litigation. Even South
Dakota draws the line on carpet-bag
bonds and the inference to be drawn
is that the holders OF these OutIaWed
Instruments are without a remedy in
the sisterhOOd Estates and must 90
to foreign shores for allies.
The correspondence between the
Andrews syndicate and Gov. ElrOd
OF South Dakota, is made public on
the initiative OF Senator kittredye,
OF South Dakota. who furnished the
facts to Senator Overman. Natural
" Senator Overman was very much
gratified at the result Of the action
OF South Dakota officials and so eX-
pressed himself to the South Dakota
Senator. The correspondence which
is Self-eNplanatOry follows:

Auto Accident on Steep Hill

What might have beena very serious
if not fatal accident, occurred on the
hill leading to the old Blair property, at
Silver Peak last Sunday After mount
ing part way up the slope, a large
automobile, belonging to M. L. Efiin-
ger, suddenly stopped and proceeded to
back down the grade. Efforts to stop
the a developed that the brake would
not work, and the car continued to
descend. Suddenly swerving to one
side it toppled over. In the car besides
Chauffeur Oliver, were Mr.. Efinger,
julius Smith, and wife, Grant Crumley
and Mr.. and Mrs. Paddleford. The oc-
cupants were thrown clear of the car
and escaped without injury with the
exception of Mrs. ~Paddleford, who was
seriously bruised about the left Shout
der. She is now confined to her home
but is making as good progress as can
be expected. Oliver, who was driving
the car is exhonerated from all blame.
At the time of the accident the auto
taking the party on a trip Of in
spection to the Pittsburg Silver Peak
property. Outside Of the loss Of its
top and a general shaking up of the car
was uninjured and later proceeded to
Tonopah under it's own power.

FINE ORE AT
BILE HELEN

Matt Malone, who has just re-
turned from San Francisco, reports
that work on the Aggie B. group at
Belle Helen will open up immediate
ly with a strong COMPANY behind It.
This group of claims is about 90
miles from Tonopah to the east and
right in the heart of the district
known as Belle Helen, which, as the
deal indicates at the present time, is
becoming a center of attraction.
Billy Bryson and Johnnie Berger will
have charge of the work for the Ag-
gle b. group.
Another good property that is rap
idly coming to the front in this sec
ton is the Horseshoe group, owned
by Helm & Boyer. Assays as high
as $500 have been obtained, with a
strong ledge in sight.
The Cavander company has a
group of four claims on which there
has been about 200 feet of work
done. 1t is reported the company
has met with success beyond expec-
tations, as the force has more than
been doubled. They expect to install
a gasoline engine on this property
in the near future.
The 1yee and Tacoma group OF
claims is showing up well, assays
having been obtained as high as 1914
a ton, he says.
Polava, known as the Pole pros
PROCTOR in this district, has struck
it richer than ever. Although he Il
very reticent as to the strike, wise
ones say it will crowd the $1,000
mark in places on the ledge.
1t is expected before snow flies
that Ed Buck will have encounter

He is running a tunnel $50 feet t
tap it at the aforementioned depth
He is running in about 800 feet
This clai mgave marvellous assay

as above mentioned. The lowest as
say he got across a three foot ledge

This is what caused Mr.. Buck tc

O'MEARA ON
SILVER PEAK
He Saysth Camp is Sure to Shine
During the Next Year or 1--WE
Without a Doubt

w. P. O'Meara of the O'Meara-
LYNCH syndicate, and secretary OF its
companies, came in from Los Angeles
Monday afternoon to look after busi-
ness interests requiring his atten'
ton here, says the Salt Lake Herald
Of the 18th inst. He was met by
Curtis l.. Knight, consulting engl-
neer for the syndicate and superin-
tendent of its Silver Peak-Valcalda
properties, who passed through the
city on his way to Denver, where he
has gone to hurry along the maehin-
cry and equipment for the mill VITA
which the Valcalda is to be equipped
Mr.. O'Meara states that there is
not a shadow of doubt that SILVER
Peak is going to make one OF the
greatest gold producing camps IN tue
state of Nevada. In the old tuhhei
Of the Valcalda the ore shoot mas
been penetrated for a distance OF zo5
feet. while the first crosscut shows
a width of 40 feet of ore that aver
age sampling gives a value OF 500 a
ton. The new tunnel is also showing
up we'll, there now being six feet OF
fine milling ore exposed in the race
Six feet of the ditch for the pipe line
hat is to supply the mill with water
has been finished and pipe is now
being laid. Within a few days ground
for the mill will be broken and, upon
the return of EngineerKnight from
Denver construction will be crowded.
Mr.. O'Meara states, also, that Mar
tin L. Efingers big company is also
making the fur fly and 1t will not
be more than a year before the world
recognizes that the old camp from
which Samuel J.. Tilden and other
noted men Of the country derived a
fortune years ago is still on the map
and more prosperous than ever.
Los Angeles, Mr.. O'Meara states,
is taking hold of mining in a way
that suggests the belief that thai
city will soon become famous as a
mining center, as much so as Denver
Salt Lake or San Francisco. Invest
ments are daily being made In Cali
fornia and southern Nevada proper

it was impossible practically to gel

is now talking mines and looking foi
