Conner Mining at SmithsburE.

A number of persons who are concern
ed in the copper and other mineral pros
pecting in the vicinity of Smithsburg,
either as owners of options on tracts of
land or owners of the land itself, will be
interested in the knowledge that H. S.
Kefeidel, G. S. PER- and DR.. Fehrig,
Philadelphia, have arrived at Smithsburg,
prepared to begin mining for copper.
They are all mining experts and famil-
lar with the ore located in Pleasant Val
ley, east of Smithsburg. They are pre-
pairing to install large steam boiler,
diamond drills and other mining machin-
cry and will push ahead the work with
modern machinery. This machinery also
includes a machine which will separate
the copper from gold and other minerals.
1t is reported that gold in small quaint
ties is mixed with the ore.
A shaft to the depth of over 400 feet IL
being sunk and work towards reaching
the ore is being rushed as fast as the mer
and machinery can dig. F. E. Fehrig
father of DR.. Fehrig, has been located
at Smithsburg for some time and hal
prospected in and about the vicinity will
the result that he has found what he be
lieves to be an immensely rich copper ore

Penmar Growing Rapidly.

The immediate future of Penmar rs a
residence place for summer visitors is the
subject of much speculation among Way
nesboro people. A half-dozen years ago
there was one residence cottage at Pen
mar. Today there are Is ownedby Way
nesboro people alone and within the next
five years this number will be increased
to 100, it is predicted by those who have
watched the real estate and building oper-
atoms there and have observed the in
creasing popularity of the place.
During this year many Waynesboro
people have built cottages there, either
for their own occupancy or for renting
purposes and many people here have gone
and many more will go to these cottages
for terms of week, two weeks or more.
Twelve years ago Penmar was moving
along as usual. There was no building,
as no lots could be bought. Nothing was
being done to increase the population or
make the place greater, yet with the
natural beauty of the mountains it was
felt by some of the more enterprising
that Penmar was destined to become
something in the near future.
Today the trolley is built to Penmar
and to it must be given great credit as
the leading factor in the recent impetus
in the sale of cottage sites and the speedy
erection of buildings upon them. Thirty
cottages have been built at Penmar-
many of them this summer-at cost of
from $500 to $500.
A 10-room cottage was completed in
two weeks and rooms in it were rented
and occupied before the place was finish
cd. Many houses are being staked of
and contractor is getting ready tomove
there so that he can build all winter.
The w. M. R. r. Co. has improved the
park with more and better amusemcnts.
Electric lights make the whole place
bright at night and there is music and
dancing until 10 p. m. Greater improve
ments are promised by the railroad.

Decides For County.

Chief Judge McSherry on Tuesday filed
his opinion in the matter of the repairs
to the approach to the bridge across the
Monocacy, the responsibility for making
which has been in dispute between the
county commissioners and the Frederick
& Woodsboro Turnpike Co.
In the opinion, Judge McShcrry reviews
the case thoroughly. The turnpike com
pany held that the wing-walls and sub
surface of the approach to the bridge
were part of the bridge. If it is the du-
ty Of the county commissioners to make
these repairs, Judge McSherry, says, it
must be either contractual or statu-
tory obligation, either expressed or i'm
Piled What the county has done in 9TH
er cases is not relevant. In this case,
the bridge was built to connect with the
road already in existence, and the turn
pike company admits its liability to keep
the surface of the road in repair, but
does not assume liability for keeping the
board flooring of the bridge in repair.
AS the turnpike company does not keep
the floor of the bridge in repair, but does
keep the surface of the road in repair,
the Judge holds, it is natural to decide
that the wing-walls and sub-surface of
the approach to the bridge are part Of
the roadway and should be kept in repair
by the turnpike company. 1t would not
be right, he holds, for the county COM
missioners to use the public's money to
repair the roadway, ostensibly for pro-
noting the convenience of the public,
when the direct result would be to the
pccuniary benefit of the turnpike COM
pany.
The expense of the proceedings is to
be borne half by the county and half by
the turnpike company. -Ners.

A Clever Invention.

A new device is in use this year by the
Monocacy Valley Packing Company. 1t
is an automatic capper and was invented
by Captain Frank Stokes, engineer at the
factory. The invention is machine used
for the placing of the caps on the cans
of corn, as they come from the cooker.
The device has six arms. At the end of
each arm is fastened magnet, which
grasps the caps from revolving table
and carries them to the conveyor, which
takes the cans of corn to the Gaping
machine. As the machine revolves the
caps are placed in position, ready to be
soldered. The machine dispenses with
the services of two girls. Mr.. Stokes
has an order for five of the machines. -

Baltimore's Pretty Theatres.

Baltimore, with its usual push and en-
ergy, is fast ranking with the larger
cities in way Of it's theatres. All are
now Of the latest construction, the last
to fall in line being the Monumental, now
known as the New Monumental. The
Empire circuit company, who recently
acquired this house have expended over
fifty thousand dollars in improvements,
the theatre being practically reconstruct
ed from cellar to dome. The entire in
terror has been remodeled and beautitied,
so as to make it one of Baltimore hand
soonest playhouses. The decorations are
of cheerful tint and blend tremendously.
The seating plan has been changed, add
ing to the general effect and MI of the
seats are Of the latest pattern, while the
balcony seats have been replaced by fold
ing chairs. No part of the theatre has
been overlooked, even the back of the
stage having been thoroughly overhauled,
with new scenery and appointments pro-
vided SO that the largest spectacle can
be put on. Now that the work of re-
decoration has been completed, the thea
ire we'll deserves the title bestowed upon
it by travelling showmen, that new name
being 1.-THE Theatre Beautiful. 1t will
play during the coming season exclusive.
ly Empire circuit attractions, comprising
only the very highest grade of burlesque
and the new management, with Sam M.
Dawson as the local representative, lay
particular stress upon the fact that many
new European novelties will be produced
at that house, which will not be seen al
any other theatre in Baltimore. 1t vii
not only be the handsomest and cosiest
theatre in Baltimore, but will no doubt
attract the best class of patronage. The
season opens Monday, August 9th.
