SALVATION
ARMY OUTING
Citizens Have Donated Gen
erously Toward Fund
Outing.
PROSPECTS ARE THAT TWO
HUNDRED OF THE CITY'S POOR
WILL BE GIVEN A MOST ENJOY
ABLE OUTING ON AUGUST

Citizens have responded in a most
generous manner toward the fund
being raised by the Salvation Army
for the big outing for two hundred of
the city's poor on August Z, and while
much has been received, both in cash
and groceries, there is still needed
about $50 in cash or articles which
will be necessary for this occasion.
Captain Odom, who is working to
make of this occasion the most sue
cessful in the history Of the annual
outings of the Salvation Army here,
has about completed his plans. and
believes that the poor women and
children and crippled men, who are
not able to enjoy themselves as
others do. will spend a day of pleas
ure and recreation on Santa Rosa
Island which they will not soon for
get He has chartered the tug Mon
arch for the occasion, and has been
granted the use of the pavilion on the
island.
Captain OdOm has received $50 of
the 5000 necessary 10 carry out the
outing plans successfully, and be-
lieves that the citizens of Pensacola
will respond with the remainder,
either in cash or such articles as are
needed.

COUNTY To
GET BENEFIT.
Escanbia County Now to
Receive $500 for Each
Liquor License.
THE STATE LICENSE HAS NOT
BEEN INCREASED, BUT THE
COUNTY MUST RECEIVE HALF
OF THE $1,000 TO BE PAID.

City Tax Collector Roberts has re-
ceived from Comptroller Groom an
explanation of the new state license
law relating to saloons and places
where liquors are sold The new law
increases the state and county license
from $3.50 to 81, 900, but the state will
receive no larger amount than 10 for
mer years.
On the other hand the counties
where liquors are sold will receive
for each license issued $500. In for
mer years only $3.50 was allowed the
counties on each license issued, the
state taking $500.
About forty saloons are operated
in Escambia county. and this means
that $4,000 will be collected here
from this source, and that Escambia's
portion of the amount will be $4,000.
There was at first some misunder-
standing regarding the liquor license
law, as the comptroller first wrote
that the state license is $1,000, with
the county license at $3.50 additional
Tax Collector Roberts then addressed
letter to him stating that his in
structions did not conform to the law
as he understood it.
Mr. Roberts has now received an
other letter from the comptroller,
and the law is thoroughly explained.
One feature of the new liquor license
law is that it specifics the amount a
city can collect on a license of this
character, which is $3.50.

FIRE ALARM
SYSTEM OUT
A Heavily Charged Electric
Wire Put System Out of
Commission.

The fire alarm system of the city
was put out of commission yesterday
afternoon about 5 o'clock, when a
heavily charged electric wire fell
across the fire alarm wires. For a
few minutes after this occurred the
Indicators in the police station and
truck houses began tapping, and kept
this up until the wires were cut in
order to prevent the Indicators from
being burned out by the electric cur
rent.
City Electrician LeBaron was busily
engaged in locating the source of
trouble. The portion of the city
where the wires came in contact could
not be located easily, and 1t will prob
ably be today before the system is
again in commission.

HIGHER PAY
is GRANTED
Journeynen Bakers Win a
Part of the Demands
and Won't Quit.

A committee of the Master Bakers
of Pensacola met several members
of the Bakers Union last evening
and decided to accede to their re-
quest in regard to more pay, but the
question of hours was not decided.
The men say that they work sixty
to sixty-eight hours a week, and are
asking for SiXty-hOur week.
The union men think that their en-
plOyes will ultimately grant this re-
quest for shorter hours and they will
go to work Monday at the new scale,
and keep up the fight for shorter
hours if need be. 1t is assumed from
this that there will be no lockout or
suspension by the bakeries, as was
threatened.

ON NORTHERN LIGHTS
Group at Black Mountain, an
Ore Body Having Been En-
eountered With Big Values

A surprise was sprung this week on
-. owners of the Northern Lights group
a claims. located near Black Mountain,
not far from Yerington. It is the same
old story of passing up the best to
develop the worst.
After having driven a. cross-cut from
the l5O- foot level for distance of 20
feet Il was decided to make an ASSAY of
,he material that had been extracted and
thrown over the dump. To the utter
surprise of all concerned, it returned
goodly values in the yellow metal. An
average sample of the entire 40 feet was
taken which showed gold to the extent
Of x18. 20 per ton. -Four feet of the stuff
went $67 .l8 in gold.
L. H. Bartholomew, who has been in
charge of the work. is mining man of
experience and repute. Little did he
imagine that he had anything such as
he has, Since the discovery of the val
ues in the passed up ore, he is inclined
to believe that the Northern Lights is
one of the best properties in this section,
and he is man who talks but little.
The values occur in black lime in-
pregnated with iron pyrites.
Some time ago Mr.. Bartholomew was
prevailed upon to visit the property. So
impressed was he with the surface show
ngs that he at once become interested
with the owners of the property among
whom are d. Lawson, Ross Thompson,
d. w. Mckenzie. and others.
The group consists of six claims. Ar
ticles of incorporation were filed few
days ago. it being the intention of the
owners to thoroughly develop the
ground. Recent disclosures in the un-
derground workings would seem to indi-
cate that before the first issue of stock
is offered to the public, the property
will be well on its way to proven mine.
The cross-cut in which the ore occurs
was being driven to encounter the ledge
at depth which on the surface shows a
width OF Is feet, carrying good values
in both gold and copper. From the
present face of the cross-cut. distance
of $50 feet will have to be made before
encountering the ore body. 1t will be
tapped at perpendicular depth of $50
feet. at which point discoveries border
ing OH the sensational are expected.

thus be reclaimed at very small cost,
and they are today lying absolutely
useless.
The mining prospects of Yerington
are most hattering. Copper experts from
all over the country have declared that
Yerington is to be one of the greatest
copper producing camps in the world.
With its mines and smelters and its rich
outlying farm lands, Yerington should
within three or four years attain to a
population of 10000.
There is only one kick coming, and
that is about thing that could be very
easily remedied, were the proper author

and Wabuska lies the worst piece of
road, not merely i'll Nevada, but in tile
world. The County Commissioners
ought to be hog-tied and driven over

ORE IN SIGHT IN THE
WHEELER AMOUNTS
TO VAST sum

News from the Wheeler Gold Mines
conpany's holdings continues to be of
the most gratifying nature.
The main tunnel has been dispatched
a distance of 500 feet, where an immense
ore shoot has been encountered. On
this ore shoot drift has been run 200
feet in length, raised on Is feet and a
winze sunk 40 feet deep. The ore aver
ages in all these places $50 per ton in
gold.
An estimate of the value of the ore in
sight, made after careful measurements,
places it at Si00,000
At the present time the mill is not
working on the ore, due to the absence
of Superintendent Rooklidge, who is in
Salt Lake. He is expected to return
within a few days at which time the
stamps will be started dropping. Mr..
Rcoklidge will be accompanied by Fred
Flindt of Salt Lake, who has been APP
pointed manager of the property.
