 Selma. June 6.
 Colonel Charles R. Bricken. of the End Regiment. Alabama National Guard. spent today in selma. Colonel Bricken's visit 10 Selma was for the purpose of seeing if this city wanted the annual practice camp of the regi- ment again this summer and to see what inducements would be offered to the regiment to come here.
 While nothing has been settled so far. 1t is very probable that the 2nd Regiment will again camp at Eikdaie Park. The stan officers of the resi- ment favor this city and nearly every member of the regiment. 1t Is said, want the eneampment here. Elkdaie Park is one of the best camping grounds in the State and is convenient as we'll as favcrsbly located for such purposes.
 The matter of bringing the encamn- ment to Selma will come up at the next meeting of the Commercial and Indus trial Association when, to the associa- ton, there will be mentioned whatit will take for Selma to get the encampment There is little doubt but that the as- sociation will guarantee what the reg iment wants and that this city VIII be selected.
 The camp of the regiment which was
  best and most orderly in the history of the Alabama National Guard. All of the soldiers conducted themselves excellently and throughout the week there were no signs of disorder. For this reason Selma wants the encamp- ment again and the merchants of the city will give literally to fund to bring 1t here again.
 In talking of the 2nd Regiment to- day Colonel Bricken said 1t is much stronger and in better shape than u was last summer: that during the past year he has strengthened the weak places and that now every company in the regiment is in good condition. Two or three of the old companies have been mustered out of service, but m their places new companies nave been mustered in. Colonel Bricken left this afternoon for Opelika where he will muster in a new company tomorrow night.

 LETTER. s
Ghe snys There is Great Suffering and That MoPey Sent from AIabama
 Did Much
 Good.

Birmingham. June 6.-(Special l-- Mrs. Emma Bissett Rice, the Presbyte- rian missionary to China. formerly of this city, has written a note of thanks to those who donated to fund with which to give some relief in the famine stricken portion of China.
 The letter is dated from Tsing Kiang Pu, China. and Is as follows: To kind friends, who have so promptly responded to my appeal for help in our efforts to relieve the fam ine-stricken by whom we are sur rounded, I wish to return our heart felt thanks. I can assure you the , money was the means of feeding and so saving many lives. Things are still desperate. and there is great suffer- ing. Relief funds and food are coming and being distributed. The greatest trouble now will be the scarcity of food. which is also very high. As we expect to start in July for the nome- land, I hope soon to see and again thank my friends for their kind liber- ality."
 Mrs. Rice resided in Birmin gham a number. of years. her relatives still being here in numbers
 Tax Increase in Jefferson.
 Tax exhibits proposing a s20.0oo. 900 raise over the figures obtained by the assessor were today filed with the Board of Revenue by B. A. Thompson, the Back Tax Commissioner. The entire day will be spent by the Board going over the proposed raises and the cases passed on favorably will be dock eted and citations issued to the proper ty owners involved just as soon as possible. The hearing will begin the second Monday in July and continue until disposed of. It Is generally sun- derstood that the recommendations of the Back Tax Commissioner will be fought hard by -gome of the big corr porations whose property assessments have been almost doubled by the ap- praiser.
 In the event the Board passes favor ably upon ali the raises and the assess ments are duly raised after the hear ings, it means an additional tax Income for the county of $270,000. less 10 per cent. It also means that the tax records for Jefferson County will have been broken. The raises in the as- sessments were made according to the rules and regulations of the newly created tax commission, whose prov ince is to equalize taxation throughout the State of Alabama. The commis- sion was here recently and held con- ference with members of ahe Board of Revenue and the Back Tax Commits sioner.

MINING NOTES
FROM SEARCHLIGHT
Kirkeley Group of Claims SOld-IIOw
the Camp Was
Founded.

An important deal in mining prop
erty was made this week by the trans
fer of the Kirkeby property. which
consists of what is known as the
Panhandle group of four claims ~
ing Immediately west of the Search
light Mining and Milling company's
property. The purchaser is the Quar-
to Development Company, and the
principal place of business is Roches-
ter, N. Y. The company has secured
the services of Noel Davenport, the
well-known San Bernardino mining
operator, to take charge of the prop
erty and force of men will be put to
work at once. The present develop
ment of the group shows up three
distinct east-west lodges of porphy-
rite quartz, and one north-south of
the same character cutting the other
three. 1t is the opinion of the new
owners that the east-west leads are
continuation of those on the
Searchlight ground.
Another strike has been made on
the Golden Calf claim, recently Sc
cured by George w. Lloyd. This was
made while trenching on the ledge
some distance away from where the
last reported strike was made. Sam
pies taken from clear across the
ledge show fine Mornings. Mr.. Lloyd
has secured options on all the sur
rounding claims and will do consid-
cradle prospecting work upon them.
The strike made in the Duplex last
week is even better than at first re-
ported. The find was made in the
shaft on the small fraction lying be-
tween the New Years Gift and the
Searchlight mines of the companys
property. The ore fairly reeks with
gold and it is safe to estimate its
value at from 100000 to 100000
per ton. The Duplex property is
the old original Searchlight mine,
from which the town took its name,
and the present owner is the original
discoverer. This was in the early
days of the camp, some time in 1897,
that Fred Cotton, coming home one
night to camp, composed of about a
half-dozen souls, exclaimed: "There
is something here, boys; but it would
take a searchlight to find it." A few
days later he located the Searchlight
mine, giving birth to what is now
recognized as one of the greatest
gold camps in Nevada. Phoebe

that the Carpenter property there is
wonder and that there are number
of excellent surface showings sur
rounding the discovered property.
Their assertions are substantiated by
specimens of gold ore that are not
excelled by any in the state and sew
eral samplings of the Carpenter vein
give assays running as high as $780,
900, entirely in gold. An average
assay taken across the vein for dis
lance of twenty-five feet, returned
the astonishing value of $25 per ton,

Mr.. CalderwOOd Injured.

Charles A. Calderwood was struck by
the "air line south bound Monday
afternoon at the St. Johnsbury depot
just as he was crossing the track to take
charge of the remains of Henry Carrick
which had arrived on the Portland train
that was pulling into the station at the
same time The "air line" was coming
into the station at a speed estimated
20 miles an hour and Mr.. Calderwood
crossed directly in front of the big engine
and was struck by the cylinder head
and thrown violently against post
which supports the roof of the platform
between the two tracks. He was taken
at once to his home and a medical
examination showed that one of his
bones in his lett wrist was broken and
that he had received severe bruises about
the hips He is receiving the best of care
and his condition is not considered
serious, though his escape from instant
death seems miraculous. The engineer
in charge of the train blew the whistle
Just before the engine struck Mr.. Calder
wood, but he never noticed the approach
ing train as his mind was upon his duty
across the track. Three of the bearers
that came to the depot to assist in Mr..
Carricks funeral started to cross the
track with Mr.. Calderwood, but fortu-
nately for them were far enough behind
him SO that the express came by first.
Mr.. Calderwood has host Of friends
here and throughout the state who will
regret to learn of his severe injury and
hope for his speedy recovery.
