LEASES GETTING
NEXT TO The ORE

Cyrus e. johnson, one OF the old
timers Of the camp, returned from
the east Sunday. 1t was Cy Johnson
who took the first lease on the ia
nous Daisy property directly after
Round Mountain was discovered a
little over a ear ago. And it is Cy
Johnson who today is managing and
operating two of the gilt edged
leases of the camp. The Crescent
lease on the Daisy is a johnson fota-
ton and they are now down over a
hundred feet with n of the best
shafts of the district. A power hoist
has been installed and work is pro-
crossing with two shifts of men.
Mr.. Johnson's visit east was for
the purpose of promoting a mining
and leasing company to take over
the slim" Morgan Daisy lease, adj
joining the famous Munholland
lease, which took out in the neigh
borhood of $1,000 in less than n
year. The Solid Gold Mining and
Leasing company is the result of his
efforts. Its officers and directors are
E. c. Webb, capitalists, Of Hartford,
Conn, president; Cy Johnson. vice
president and general manager; c.
A. Woody, president of Hartford
Mining Exchange, secretary and
treasurer; Robert p. Lyons and j. f.
Inman, of Hartford, additional di-
rectors. Mr.. Inman is expected out
in a few days and after his inspec-
tion Of the property it is the inten-
ton to install a power hoist at once
and begin sinking on the ore body,
which has been exposed in two
places. A 100-foot shaft is already
down on the property and in ore
every foot of the way. From this
shaft came some Of the finest speci-
men gold of the district and it is
hard to estimate Just how much has
been taken out in the past few
months. Further up the hillside on
the same lease. the vein has again
been exposed and an assay taken re-
veals a gold value of 1885 TO the
ton. The Solid Gold company surely
has of the very best leasing
propositions in camp and one that
may some day make eve the lucky
leasers of the great Goldfeld sit up
and take notice.
Mr.. Johnson's father accompanied
him to Round Mountain and ex-
presses himself as well pleased at
recent developments on Daisy hill.
The elder Johnson is interested in
both the Crescent and Solid Gold
companies with his son.
Mr.. A. Calm, a capitalist. of New
Orleans, and one of the heavy stock
holders in the Crescent company, is
in Round Mountain and after MAX
ing a tour of inspection of several
mines of the camp, has expressed
himself as most happily surprised at
what he found. Speaking of the
Daisy leases Mr.. Calm said that he
believed they were really the cream
of the district and in his belief he

EXCITEMENT AT NATCHEz.
New Camp Has a Very Rich Gold
Showing.

New lamp Has u very kich GoId
Showing.
j.. f. Otis. who is in town from
Mill City, speaks in glowing terms
of the strike recently made in Barber
Canyon, ten miles from that place,
which is the scene of considerable
excitement.
The new district has been formally
organized and named Natchez, which
is also the name of the townsite
which has been laid out. There are
now about fifty people in the camp
and there are new arrivals daily.
II looked the camp over pretty

certainly a very rich gold showing. /
saw ore from many different claims
that was Just covered with gold.
About 100 claims have been located
in the camp and most of the locators
are doing the cinch work"
MIR. Otis was one of the lucky ones
and located a group of claims close
in. Ore from one of his claims,
which he showed to a representative
of the Star, showed plenty of gold.
r. Walther, the original discover
er, has bonded his group of claims to
Tonopah people and it is understood
that extensive work will be started
on this property soon.
Frank Grimmon and Tom Ameri-
can are taking out extremely rich
ore. Messrs. Green and Scott and
other parties are working valuable
placer deposits in the canyon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mccarthy. who were
among the first TO reach the scene
after Walther's strike was reported,
were fortunate in getting some valu-
able ground. Mrs. Mccarthy, who Is
famed as a woman prospector, has
found ore on the claims which she
located that is fully as rich as that
discovered by Walther.

HAS GOOD ORE.
GcOr2imac Mine Has Shoot Showing
Value of 500.

Value of 500.
What is fast proving to be the big
mine of the Gold Run district is the
Georgimac property, under the man
agement of Jesse Taylor. The drift
from the 50-foot shaft is now in IS
feet, prosecuting the big dyke. For
ten feet the drift has been in quartz
that is showing good gold values and
Saturday the miners broke into what
is thought to be the same shoot of
ore that was uncovered on the ar
face that assayed high in gold. PAN
ninSs from the face of the crosscut
would indicate values of from SIS to
500 to the ton in gold.
At the present time two shafts are
working on the property and it is
the intention of Mr.. Taylor to resume
work in the shaft and it will be sunk
to the 100-foot level, where another
drift will be started t o crosscut the
ledge. In the bottom of the shaft,
at a depth of so feet, samples taken
from drillings assayed $74 TO the ton
in gold.
That the Georgimac is a great
property is becoming more apparent
with each days work. The property,
under Mr., Taylor's management, is
in good hands, and it is the COM
pany's intention to do deep mining,
with the most tlattering chances of
developing the Georgimac into one
of the States really great mines.

pert mining men in the State. The
other directors are M. e. Ish, N.
Darcy, j. S. Curtis and w. II. Erb.
There will be no important changes
in the general policy of the company.
New men will be added to the force,
already thirty-five strong, as rapidly
as General Manager Harris can pro-
cure those who commend themselves
to him for competency. The work is
now chiefly devoted to the drift on
the 200 and 800 foot levels. On the
former there has been 200 feet of
work completed, and ON the latter
about 90 feet. A foot of the vein on
the 300-foot level carries values as
high as $500 to the ton. Regular
shipments are being made from the
Jack Pot, but the company is by no
means sending out as much ore as
it might, the purpose being to ship
Just enough at present to pay the
running expenses Of the mine.
Another property from which ore
is now going out regularly to the
smelter is the Vulture, which has a
body of ore in the upraise which
averages about $3.50 to the ton.
A group of claims from which the
people of Wonder are expecting big
developments are the Gold Kings,
upon which the original lo%cators are
running a tunnel which is in 275
feet, and which, according to strong
indications, viii cut at least five
parallel lodges within the next 100
feet. All of these veins have yield
ed rock on the surface from which
gold paintings have been obtained,
and the expectation is that a highly
valuable gold property will be devel-
oped here. The surrounding prop
critics, among which are the Desert
Wonder, Christmas Wonder and the
Great Eastern, are also looking eX-
tremely well. The development work
on the latter has been given renewed
vigor this week under the manage
ment of A. II. Douglas. The shaft u
down 100 feet, and prosecuting is
to be started at once toward the
ledge which traverses this section of
the district in an easterly and west
erly direction.
Work will be resumed within a few
days on the Veina Grande, which has
a highly promising ledge. On the
Christmas Wonder, where a complete
equipment of machinery will be in
stalled, the Joe Wonder, June Won
der, the Rex, and other properties
which have been affected by the sum
mer lull, work is about to be resum-
ed. Persistent work has been done
on the Daisy Wonder and the Mon
nette Wonder, which are controlled
by the Goldfield firm of Davis and
w nttItI. Ou SdCu VI Lu6bt pIOpeI-
ties a hoist is in operations, and on
the Daisy, where the shaft is rapidly
reaching the 300-foot level, the form
alton is hardening and the moistened
condition Of the rock is giving strong
indications of water. The superin-
tendent believes that when this water
is reached, at about 500 feet, a body
of sulphide ore will be uncovered.
Prominent operators from New York
and other centers have visited Won
der within the last few days and
those who went out during the heat
ed term are returning daily. Nearly
as strong an inclination is now being
shown on the part of the people here
to buy Wonder stocks as that which
made the local trading notably active
last spring. Never has the confidence
in the district been as strong as it is
at present.

Cat Lauohter7

What was the origin of the phrase
Enough to make a cat laugh p
DR.. Murray's Dictionary notices only
Enough to make a cat speak," which
is explained as signifying something
extraordinary, especially something
very good to drink. "Old liquor able to
make a cat speak" Is quoted from an
early eighteenth century source, and
Herewith Stephano's remark to Call
ban is compared, "Open your mouth;
here is that which will give language
to you, cat" Miss SQueers' maidserv-
ant said that only to see Miss Squeers'
friend Miss Price, toss her head was
enough to make tomcat talk French
grammar" But even that is not ex-
actly laughing. Has it anything to do
with the mythical Cheshire animal?--

There Is no doubt from the COM
ments already heard and the opin-
ions expressed, that the public
generally is inclined to look upon
the sale of the Central of
Georgia railroad as merely a
transfer from one hand to another,
a device resorted to to avoid any
conflict with the laws of Georgia
as enforced by the Smith admins
tration.
The avowed intention of certain
legislators to introduce and push
through resolution pre- viding for
an investigation as to the owner
ship and control of the Central is
probably the real cause for the
transaction of Wednesday. 1t is
generally understood that Governor
Smith would endorse such a resO-
luton and use his influence to put
it through both House and Senate.
The fact that the sale has been
made just on the verge of the
meeting of the General Assembly
and the Inauguration Of Smith
tends to confirm this view of the
matter.
1t is quite probable that much
will be heard of the Central and
it's sale during the next few weeks.
There is hardly a doubt but that
the radical legislators will refuse
to accept the transaction as bona
fde and 1t is quite probable that
the original program of probing
committee will be carried out.

IBSEN'S PARADOX.
And the Intimate Relation of Science
to Society.


to Society.
Ibsen. my great compatriot, has in
one of his works formulated the para
dox that the man is strongest who
stands most alone. There is certainly
some truth in this-nay, there is much
truth in it so far as science Is con-
cerned. The man who in the search
for truth goes his way independently
of other men and of other considera-
tons is certainly the man who is apt
to find the greatest and most valuable
truth. On the other hand, it is also
true that science more than most other
things in life depends on cooperation,
on the help of ones fellow beings, and
this becomes more and more true every
day. Many people are apt to forget
what science actually is and what they
owe to science, for it is through sci
ence that modern society actually ex-
lists, and the development of society as
it is today would be impossible if sci
ence were eliminated. Humanity is
growing; but, if science and the means
created by science are not growing, hu-
manity will have to look forward to a
very miserable future. Therefore the
nation that wishes to be cared for
must support science and those who
carry on scientific work. Science will
live her own life and has done so ever
since the days when Prometheus made
his fatal expedition to the gods and
stole the fire which is more or less
burning in every one of us and cannot
be extinguished. There is something
sublime in this everlasting fire of sci
ence. Generation after generation dis
appears. The individual is nothing, but
always "watchful in the tower man

THE GREAT FIGHTS ATLANTA THE SALE OF THE CENTRAL.

The legislature has begun its
fifty days summer work. The
statesmen of one hundred and for
ty-six counties, shedding their
coats and vests, hopping their
throbbing brows, and cooling their
fevered imaginations with electric
fans, have got down to work and
will soon prove to their admiring
constituents that they arereformers
of the genuine type. Extra clerks
will probably be added to keep
track of the Niagara of bills, and
the committees will be calling tor
additional compensation for over
work. Something is going to be
dong in Atlanta and the world
may soon be asking, "What's the
matter with Georgia."
Three live wires will be much in
evidence. They are:
State prohibition;
Negro disfranchisement;
Railroad regulation.
The first steps towards State
prohibition were taken as speedily
as possible. The first bill on the
calendar of each body calls for a
strict prohibition of the manufac
ture and sale of liquors. That
there will be a battle royal over
this every one knows. The cleo
ton of prohibitionist as Presi-
dent of the Senate may mean much
or it may mean little. The House
will probably vote for The prohi
bition measure. The Senate, it
has been thought, may turn it
down. But there will be plenty
of opportunity for palpitating or,
atory, and there will be plenty of
| it.
Governor Smith stands commit
ted, if any man on earth ever did,
to the disfranchisement ofthe ne
groes to as great an extent as pos
Sible under the Constitution of the
United States. This cry did more
to elect him than his talk about
regulating the corporations. Geor
gia will probably line up with
other Southern states that moved
in this direction.
AS to the railroad regulation, it
is greatly to be feared that there
will be some attempts at very rad
ical legislation. There is really
more danger to the business inter-
ests, and the people generally, of
Georgia, from legislation, attempt
ed or secured, of this sort than
from anything else the legislature
may do. If the radical element
secures the whip handle 1t is not I'm
likely that capital will he driven
from Georgia for n any years, rail
road improvements and railroad
construction practically cease, and
a black eye be given to not only the
transportation interests, but the
manufacturing and agricultural in.
terests as well. The welfare of the
three are closely interviewer, and
blows struck at the great transpor
tation systems of the State, blows
that hamper, render Improbable,
or prevent investments in rail
roads, will react ON the manufac-
turers and the farmers in the end
There will be the usual mass of
local legislation, the usual at
tempts to be funny on the part of
some statesmen whom God failed
to qualify for the job, but above
all will come the three great ques-
tions to which we have alluded.
