More Startling Testimony.

Joseph X. Aiken, who has been chief
clerk in the superintendent office of
the Monongahela divisions Of the
Pennsylvania railroad, gave some in
teresting testimony before the inter-
state commerce commission. AT the
outset he showed a disposition to spar
with Attorney Glasgow. After al
most every question he would stop to
reflect, cast his eyes upon the ceiling
and then repat the question before an
SWering. He revealed almost as start
ling evidence as that given by Joseph
?. Boyer before the commission the
previous day.
On a salary which he said varied
from $50 to 1926 per month, Aiken had
purchased stock in different coal COM
panies amounting to nearly $4,000.
He admitted having received gifts Of
cash from coal operators on the Penn
sylvania lines and had also received
$50 month for several months from

Death Of Mrs. M. 5. Angle

Friday afternoon the sad announce
ment was made that Mrs. M. A. Angle
had died Unexpectedly at her home or
Church street after an illness of only
a few days. Her illness had not been
of a serious nature until Thursday
afternoon, when pneumonia developed
and proved fatal in a very short time.
During the week preceding her death
she was sick, but there were no symp-
toms of the fatal malady until its ap-
pearance Thursday afternoon. From
this time she grew rapidly worse until
death came. Members of the family
were hastily summoned and her daughter
Mrs Wiiks arrived in time to see her
mother before the end came.
The deth of Mrs. Angle removes one
of the oldest citizens of Lee county.
Coming here about thirty five years
ago she, with her husband and family
settled near Bryce's Cross Roads, after
wards moving to Baldwin and then to
Tupelo. Mrs. Angle was born in Fay
cite Court House, Ala, and was mar
ried to- Thomas Angle on September16 10th
1858, she was the mother of eight child
rem, only two of whom survive, Mrs.
Wilks and joseph Angle of Tupelo.
In early childhood she joined the Bap-
fist church, remaining a faithful and
consistent member to the time of her
death. In all the relations of life she
was true, and had the highest concep-
lions of her duty, as a christian wife,
mother and friend. Kind. affectionate,
generous, and considerable of others she
exerted an influence for good that will
live as a monument to her memory in
coming years. To her family she was
devoted and no sacrifice was too great
when their comfort or interest was at
stake, In her death the community has
sustained a loss that will be hard to fill;
she was known by everybody and was
loved and honored for her many christ
ian virtues. She was buried from the
Baptist church Saturday afternoon, the
services being conducted by her pastor,
Rev. R. A.:Kimbaough. A large con-
course of friends were present to pay
the last tribute of respect. Her re-
mains were laid to rest in the cemetery
at this place. To the bereaved family
we extend deepest sympathy in their
great sorrow.

A. L. wisner of the New York brok-
erage house OF wisner & Co. is this
week stopping off in Goldfeld in the
course of his present tour of the west
ern mining camps in which his firm is
interested. II addition to Goldfeld Mr..

to California.
The United Tonopah and Goldfield
Mines compan is the name of the COM
pany at Diamondfeld in which his firm
is interested. Mr.. wisner states that
the shaft on this ground is down to SO
feet, and that drifting to the extent of
500 feet has been accomplished up to
late. The company will put dow the
shaft to about 200 feet when a gasoline
hoist will be installed in order to go
down to the 400-foot level. This COM
pany is also operating on two claims in
the Bullfrog section, traversing which
ground is a 6-foot contact vein. From
this ledge assays have been secured run
ming between SIS and 500 to the ton.
About 200 feet of drifting work has
been done, a hoist installed and a con-
tract let for sinking to ESQ feet.
Mr.. Wisner states that he is now ne
gotiating for new territory in both Gold
field and Bullfrog. and he expects to
close on these in a few days.

MO CAUSE FOR Exc1rEMENr

There was a little excitement in town
last Sunday when so miners armed with
picks and shovels marched in a body
through the streets and out in the hills
to the south and east of town. Rumors
of a wonderful strike were floating
around all day but when the nature of
the raid of the miners was learned there
was many a laugh over it.
D.. Mackenzie, the well known mine
owner and broker a few months back
secured the August claim near the Port
land under pond and lease. One of the
conditions of the bond was hat at least
80 shifts a month should be put in on
development work. No work had been
lone during the month by an oversight
and the shifts had to be done Sunday as
it was the last day of the month and the
SO odd miners were gathered together
quickly and the work was performed ac-
cording to the terms of the lease.

GOVERNOR SPARKS GETS
IN ON A MOHAWK LEASE

Governor JOIN Sparks is after some
of Goidfcld's gold. A few days ago a
company called the Amalgamated Min
ing, Milling and Leasing company was
organized and the following officers
were chosen for the ensuing year: Pres
ident, John Sparks; vice president,
James G. Sweeney; secretary, F.. l..
Wilder; general manager. J. L. Bars
ness. Judge ]. w. Deane is also asso-
ciated with the company. A lease on
the north block of Mohawk No. l has
been secured and the work of sinking
a deep shaft will be started at once. A
plant of machinery has already been
ordered. The lease is a good one and
that a body of pay rock will be en-
countered is the belief of those who are
posted on the conditions in this portion
of the famous Mohawk territory.

had gratuitously attended, of the dis
covery of rich collaborating rock in what
is now Goldfeld, Dr.. Frances E.. Will
liams hastily left an extensive practice
practice in San Francisco three years
ago to become the pioneer woman in

now visiting her friends in the east. and
the recital of her experiences in the
early days of the camps career proves
of the greatest interest to her acquaint-
ances.
AT the time of DR.. Williams arrival
in the new camp the place consisted of
but six tents, a cabin and a saloon,
while the population of twelve prospec-
tors had staked out about a score of
claims.
