PAY DAY AT MANY MINES

Bessemer, March S.-(Spccial Tile
committee composed of Aldermen nar-
loss Crook and Thomas, appointed at
the meeting of the City Council last
Tuesday by acting Mayor l. A. Lewis,
to purchase the property belonging to
Mayor ]. j. Sullivan for school purposes
as agreed upon by the council, have
potifed Mayor Sullivan that they cannot
perfect the sale
The committee gave three reasons for
not purchasing the property. First, that
the city was not able to invest $1,000, the
sum which the council agreed to pay Mr.
Sullivan for the property. for school pur-
poses at present. Second, that the prop
erty was not located centrally enough
in the city to accommodate the majority
% the patrons Of the school IN this vicin-
ity Third, that 1t was too near the Ala
bama Great Southern railroad and the
car line and also the Atlanta, Brmng-
ham and Atlantic railroad, which is be-
ing built.
Every member of the committee admit
ted that the property was well worth
the money and stated that 1t would DE a
good future Investment for some one
Mayor Sullivan when notified Of the ac-
ton of the committee treated the mat
ter indifferently, and repeated his state
ment made before the council, that he
did not care to sell the property and
would not think evil of any member of
the council who opposed the purchase.
Tuesday night the council unanimously
agreed to purchase the property for school
purposes and the committee mentioned
above was appointed by acting Mayor
Lewis The property was advertised for
sale some weeks before the last lnaeting
of the council and no opposition had been
made.

ShreWd Work of Detectives.

Detectives Patton and Parson. who
have been closely watching FOR the past
week, have finally succeeded in running
down and capturing the thief who has
been doing much DANA - In this city.
Jim Huguely, a negro pWser for T. j.
Batson & Co. was foun< to be the man
who has been successfully and systemati-
cally stealing from T. j. Batson & Co.'S
store from two to four pairs OF trousers
and three or four pocket knives and
razors each day for the past two weeks.
IIo used as his confederate in the affair
Charley Nixon, alias Charles VILLAS,
alias Charles Lewis, and Aimey kallow
who he claims to be his wife. They con-
cealed great part of the goods for him.
The negro when arrested confessed tho
affair III sletan and has been. placer be-
hind the bars This Is one of the clever
est pieces of work that has been done in
this city since the detective force has
been in operation, and too much praise
cannot be given Detectives Patton and
Parson. 1t is remembered that only
few days ago the gang of box car thieves,
who had been hurglarizlng the Frisco
and Tennessee company's box cars and
made an honest confession in the court
of the case of burglary and grand lar
ceny, with which they were charged, and
also stated what manner of means they
used in breaking into the cars, were To-
Gated by these same detectives.

The mine last mentioned affords a
curious contrast with the others in
point of tonnage, for the Nipissipc
ore is specimen stuff carrying slabs
n masses Of native silver, In asso-
citation with cobalt. OF cobalt ore
thirty-four tons were shipped. This
mine is in the Cobalt district of On
tario, Canada, and has been end
cred famous both by its richness and
the manipulation of its stock. As
the Huanchaca mine in Bolivia has
ceased TO be highly productive and
the L~eadville mines are valuable as
much for their zinc and iron ore as
Tor their silver and lead, there are
not many silver mines of the first
rank. The Iron-Silver Mining COM
pany of Leadville produced $1.0S3.-
sos in 1906 and made a profit Of
$515,127. The yield included 425.05a

.REOPENING OF
RICH EAGLE Mine
NEVADA COPPER CITY MEN ARE
WORKING NINE FORMERLY
OWNED BY MURDERER

ELY, June CIV. II. Hoppe and
Frank Gordan have returned from
the Eagle district, about ninety miles
from Ely, and report having made
some fine locations. The mines in
the Eagle district were discovered In
the SOS, but haven't been worked
for years. Silver, gold and copper
are found in large quantities.
Mr.. Hoppe states that p~rospectors
are looking for a lost mine that was
originally discovered many years ago
by a Mexican. The ore was carried
out on burros. An Indian is the only
person who knows of the location of
the property and he refuses to lead
anyone to it. His only direction Is
that the mine is half a days walk
and is at the foot of a spring.
Hoppe and Gordan have located a
mine tnat vas worked in 81. II
goes forty-five ounces IN silver and
$40 in gold, A man owned the
property, but got into an alteration
with a prospector, resulting in his
numbering the latter. He had TO-
the country and the mine has
G idle ever since. The new To-
will return to this district this
week.
A company known as the RAJ,
Observation-Disclosures company has ex-
'ended fully 100000 opening mines
n this district and intends doing
ONE extensive development work.
DORIS & Co. have thirteen claims.
ne surface of which shows S per
ent copper. Work has been done
n only one of the claims, but the
ntire thirteen are most promising.
The Western Pacific will pass
'ithin sixty-five miles of the center
I the district and the capitalists in
crested in the mining properties
cure on having railroad communion
on before long. This will make
district n of the liveliest in the
