MANHATTAN STANDARD Is
IMPROVING wITH DEPTH

II. d. Manchester, general manager of
the properties of the Manhattan Stand
ard Gold Mining company, arrived in
Goldheld this week from Manhattan
where for the past three weeks he has
been engaged in experimenting opera
ions on that company's holdings and
in pa%rtitioning a small portion of the
ground off into blocks for leasing. He
states tina the showing on Manhattan
Standard acreage is the equal of any in
the camp for the depth and is convinced
that within a short time ore shipments
will begin.
Many applications for leases nave
been received and others are being made
with daily regularity. Two lessees are
already at work on the Bald Eagle
claim, and on lease No. 2-Parke w.
Parkison-coarse gold is being secured
in the paintings at a depth of 10 feet.
The ledge is showing strong and well
defined and pans freely across a width
of ) feet. On lease No. Nevada
Leasing COMPANY very promising
lead is showing at surface from which
favorable paintings n assays are Sc
cured. -Four men are at work on COM
pany account and preparations are be-
ing made TO sink a main working shaft
with the object of opening up the prop
erty at depth.
A survey for patent of the entire
acreage has just been completed, a re-
production of the blue print being pub
lished in his weeks issue of The News.
Arrangements are likewise being made
to list the stock on the San Francisco
and Goldheld stock exchanges. The
company has also purchased a lot near
the center of the town of Manhattan,
which is rapidly increasing in value,
and will at once erect a building there
on which will be utilized by Mr.. Mac
Master fer general office purposes.

Manhattan, Nevada, is without question the most
sensational gold camp in the world today. Its short
month of active life has produced results that have
COMPOUNDED the skeptic and astounded the most will
ing believers.
The city of the streets of gold seems to have been
born at last. Gold has been found in digging trenches,
in excavating for foundations of buildings, in sinking
wells, in placing location monuments. Gold is being
rocked---it is being panned---it is being shipped by the
CARLOAD to the smelters. And the ground of

Public Library Propositions.

The Commercial club and the Teach
ers' association have taken up the sub.
1ect of establishing public library
here. and Ii is to be hoped that a sat.
isfactory result will come from their
Joint efforts. This city has nearly
every other equipment of a first-cass
town. and the lack of public library
is painfully felt Ensley and Bessemer
will soon have clever Carnegie libra
ries. but the central city goes without
books This unfortunate condition
should be ended In some manner
f Whatever the method to be adopted
may be, books should be issued to all
responsible applicants free of cost
There should be no fees. Otherwise
the proposed library would be of little
public educational value, and no one
need go out of his way to help estab-
lish a library for the few. One for the
many is what we ned.
Doubtless the best plan consists in
sthe acceptance of Carnegie library
with circulating features-a library
that would also send out to every
school district in, the country 100 vol
umes a month, as like number is re-
turned to the central library. In that
case the county and city could well af-

Final Census Fiuures.

The census bureau puts the number
of ginned bales from the crop grown
last year at 10,697O13 The CONNER
cial crop of the cotton year, on the
basis of bales weighing 500 pounds,
will probably be about 10, 800, 900 bales.
Such crop would not have led to
lower prices If 1t had not been pre-
ceded by the largest crop ever grown.
The chances are that the heavy sur
plus from the crop grown in 1904 will
be drawn down, and that another big
crop must be grown this year in order
to keep prices in the neighborhood Of
ten cents. Frost in Texas has already
killed young cotton plants, and series
of climatic troubles would render a
bumper crop this year impossible.
The situation does not call for lower
prices, simply because twelve-million-
bale crop will be needed, and such a
crop may not be grown this year. Pres
ent prices will promote consumption,
and the chances are that the cotton
supply at the end Of the present cotton
year will not be above normal. 1t may
be less than normal. In that case an
eleven milion-bale crop would leadst to
Harvie Jordan prices.

NORTH Alabama Conference COLLEGE.

Howard college is getting on its feet.
It will soon have an endowment fund
of 100000, thanks largely TO the I'M
firing efforts of President Montague.
The Conference college at Owenton
also needs a boost in order to render
1t efficient and useful. 1t has fifty
acres set in the very heart of Jones
valley, but 1t lacks buildings and en-
dowment, and the Methodists of north
Alabama should bestir themselves.
They cannot afford to let their chief
educational institution languish.
The Methodists of north Alabama
are powerful. and when they pull to-
gether things are accomplished. They
cannot do better than to get together
in the matter of the Owenton college.
The mass meeting at the First Meth
odfst church next Sunday will be adj
dressed by Bishop Galloway, and at
that meeting a start will be made to-
wards putting the conference on its
feet. What has been done for Howard
college by the Baptists of the state
should be duplicated at least for Owen
ton.
Owenton needs $4,000 for the cree
ton of new buildings. and it needs an
endowment fund of at least 100000.
Both are possible if the Methodists of
north Alabama will work in the cause
with concert of action.

Strawberry Crop safe.


While am not as familiar with straw
berries as am with photography. I do
not believe that this mornings frost has
seriously. damaged the strawberry crop
at cullman. said Leon j. Wagner of
that city, who is attending the rri-state
Photographers convention in this city.
The Strawberries are blooming some
and these may have been killed but it
only takes a few days for a fresh crop
to put out. and am of the opinion that
any damages was done it will not amount
to much.
The strawberry planters of Cullman
have had an exceptionally fine winter
for the cultivation Of their crops and
have them very well protected with straw
and other litter. cullman has a very fine
prospect for large strawberry crop and
though the first crop may possibly be
damaged to some extent there Is plenty
of time for second and third crops
"The thing that strawberry raisers
most dread now is a freeze or heavy frost
later In the season when the crop is in
full bloom but I am of the opinion that
the worst is over and that the weather
from now on will be favorable to the
crop.
