 A tramway 800 feet long has been built from the mine to the stamp mill. The mill is operated by steaff,, wood being used for fuel. After crushing the rock it is run over plates and the gold saved in that manner.

BECOMING AN IMPORTANT
INDUSTRY In THIS COUNTY

Mr.. Gilman began work there about

value, secured control of 1t by pur-

is used The demand for it has grown
to such an extent that about twenty
five men are now given regular en-

There are three kinds of granite

is admirably adapted for building

both quarrying and dressing, and q

carving and ornamental work of al

THE JONATHAN APPLE
CAME FROM MISSOURI

Not many people who enjoy the lus-
cious Jonathan apple have any idea of
its origin. The following story is from
the pen of James N. Gibbons, of DON
iphan County, Kansas, an authority on
the early history Of the Platte pur-
chase. The writer of this paragraph
has had occasion to verify the facts
given by Mr.. Gibbins, which we're dis
puted by other "old settlers" and in
every instance found that Mr. Gibbins
had the documents to prove his asser-
tions.
Mr.. G1bbins says:
"In 1887, when the Platte purchase
was thrown open to settlement, two
Todd brothers settled four miles north
of st. Joseph, Missouri.
They were nurserymen from Ken
lucky, and brought apple seeds along
which they at once planted to start a
nursery in the new country. This
they did successfully, and the second
year brought them buds from their
Kentucky home, which they grated
into their seedlings. These became
the first trees, and were sold to the
settlers all about the vicinity.
There were varieties of Ramboes,
Genetans, and other popular ones of
the time. In few years they had
planted an orchard of their own.
In grating the Rambo buds on seed
lings and transplanting, one tree was
winter-killed below the graft, but was
left standing, as it was a thrifty tree.
When the tree bore it was unlike the
Rambo, from whose seed it sprang,
and from whose bud 1t could have
sprung, but for the winter-killing.
The father, Jeptha, was Tor cutting
it down, but his boy. iona, Ian, liked
the flavor, and persuaded his father to
leave the tree standing.
"Mr. Gibbins was at the house, in
fact helping at saw-mill for the elder
Todd, and at night after supper Mr.
Todd asked some of the children to
bring up some apples for the hands to
eat, adding that they might bring up
some from Jonathan's tree. This was
the first he ate OF this variety.
"Mr. Todd had in the meantime
found out the virtue of the apple, and
had grated hundreds Of its buds int
seedlings and sold them to his trade.
This was in the fifties.
"In. the early seventies this same
old gentleman was making display
of apples at Kansas City fair. He
took among others some apples from
his son, Jonathan's, tree, and meant to

A Forcible Sermon.

The Rev. &. a. Wright presented
some very f"rcibIe thoughts in his
sermon in the First Baptist church on
Sunday morning. He urged that
when a man was down, that it was
wrong to stand off and condemn
that the Christian course to take was
to lend helping hand at the right
time. And when man is doing his
best commend him, he urged.
If Mr.. Wright 5 admonitions were
carried into all the affairs of life.
and acted upon, failures would be
fewer. and the world much happier.

1t Us now certain that on the first
OF July the postotIice receipts will
have reached $4,000 for tue past
year, exclusive Of box reut, which is
the minimum necessary to secure free

livery, however, it is necessary that
the names of the streets be posted and
the houses numbered. The posting of
the streets has been begun, but some
streets have not been posted, and none
OF the houses has been numbered. This
is matter which ought to receive
the attention Of Newberry now. be-
cause it is important, both from the
standpoint of convenience, and for
the upbuilding and development Of
the city.
In connection with this matter.
while the houses are being numbered
1t would be well to take another GEN.

sus for 1900 does Newberry great in
justice, and it would be not a difficult
matter to take a census while the
