The Mining
Markets.

Again we call attention to tn
sustained strength in all market
for mining securities. Activity
and confidence rule on the New
York Curb and on the Bostor
and San Francisco Exchanges
On the New York Stock Elk
change Comstock Tunnel is about
the only cheap mining stock
traded in. 1t is steadily rising
on a considerable valume OF
transactions.
Significant is the news item
we published yesterday that one
of the leading Boston trust COM
panies, heretofore unwilling to
accept any considerable proper
ton of copper shares as collateral
for loans, has changed its policy
and is lending on dividend pay
ing coppers with margin of 30
per cent. This is recognition
from the center of conservatism
that mining shares are not the
firebrand danger they have
been preached to be. The ex-
ample of the Boston institution
will no doubt find followers.
Reports of actual production
from the mining fields are of
cheerfulest tenor. Development
in Nevada is being pushed in all
districts, and as a result the
stocks have advanced $4,000, 900
in one week in quotable value.
The Cobalt huns with activity.
Central Cobalt Mines are ship
ping ore in the quickest time on
record from shaft sinking. From
Mexico come shipments from the
Michel mine. Ore production
becomes continental.
The natural result is a public
interest in mining stocks present.
ing cheerful contrast to the
lethargic conditions prevalent on
the New Fork Stock Exchange.
So many good mining stocks can
be bought outright for small out
lay that to make money it just
becomes question of picking
out those likely to be active. In
no event can there be undue risk
IN the purchase Of properties sell
ling at, say from half a dollar to
five dollars per share. The rise
Of dollar a share in cheap
stock yields just as much
profit as a similar rise in Union
Pacific, while the element of
danger from manipulation ,,
sxhausting margins is eliminated.
We sincerely advise the buying
If sound mining stocks. They .
ire, of course, many unsound |
mes, but they can usually be de- l
;ected by the dubious or unknown !
character of their promoters. !
sound enterprises enjoy the back L
ng of high-class men whose d
statements can be relied upon :
Is, for eqample, Charles M ;
Schwab, F. Augustus Heinze, l
George Mitchell and Thomas A. l
Nevins. Such leadership can {
Iafely be accepted. ;

PETITION FILED IN
 MORGAN COUNTY
THE PAPER CONTAINS MORE
 THAN o200 NAMES-lT REPRE- SENTS A MAJORITY OF THE LE- GAL VOTERS OF THE COUNTY.

Decatur, October 1.--(Special.) )-About 50 per cent of the legal voters of Morgan county have signed a petition asking that the Probate Judge call an election on the question of prohibition in this county.
 The petition was filed this morning with Probate Judge William F.. Skeggs by Samuel Blackwell, S. c. Lee, Walter J. Nesbit, D. F. Green, John C. Tidwell, Capt Dan Walden and others.
 The petition contains something over 200 names. In the election held last fail for state and county officers there were something over 240O votes cast in the county. It is now estimated that the total vote of the county is about 2100. Only 25 per cent of the legal voters of the county are necessary to the petition. Thus it will be seen that Morgan county will soon hold an election on the ques- ton of prohibition, and according to the number of names signed to the petition it would appear that the election will go for prohibition.
 The Probate Judge has ten days in which to compare the list of names and call the election. It is thought that he will issue the call about October g. This being the case the election would be Ileiu dDOul NONellDeT J, DeluB lHlIly day $ after the call is issued.
 Decatur and New Decatur are the Cnly places in Morgan county where whisky has been sold for number of years. In Decatur there are eight saloons and in New Decatur there are five saloons.
 In some of the precincts of the county every registered voter signed the petition.
 The North Alabama Traction company has commenced work on the building of an extension to their electric street rail- way system here. They are building a line which completes their present loop running from Decatur to New Decatur.
 This company is also taking up much of the track in Decatur and is replacing 1t with much heavier rail. This is made necessary from the fact that several of Decatur's streets are to be paved with btulithic
 More than S10OO0 is to be spent by the Traction company in the extension and improvement of their street railway sys- tenn in the IDecatllrS.

Dubose of Birmingham spoke to a large crowd of citizens at the court house at this place Monday afternoon at 3:3O o'clock in the interest of the county high school There are several places in DeKalb county that are trying to secure the location of the school but Fort Payne is in the lead. Not only is Fort Payne centrally located, but it is the county seat and it has a fine system of water works and sewerage and has always been noted for it's health. The citizens are very liberal In their subscriptions and seem to be determined not to be outdone, but will endeavor to land the school. Pro- lessor Dubose said he thought the com mission would probably begin the work of locating them in October

 Negroes Kill Hiehwaman.
 Details of the killing of a negro high wayman, Jimmie Jones by name, by posse of his own color yesterday after noon in the extreme western end of the county reached Selma today. Last Thurs day, an old whne peddler watch and clock fiXer who drives over the country, was stopped by the negro in the pub lie road near Blalocks station, and at the point of d pistol compelfed to give up his watch and take off his coat and hat and give it to the negro. The highway man made the old man get out of his ve- hicle and started to drive off in IL, but decided not to and told the old man with much abusive language, to get back in the vehicle and drive on.
 Monday a negro womfn saw a negro man. who afterwards proved to be Jimmie Jones' enter the house of John Robin i son, negro supposed to have some money. John Robnson's house is on the plantation of President of the Convict Board J, Craig Smith. The negro woman gave the alarm and Jones lodged under l the house K. l.. Watson. who has charge of the place for MT. Smith, went to the scene and the negro shot twice at him. MT. Watson emptied his pistol at the ne gro, but failed to hit him. He then called for Arthur Blalock. who was at the lat I ter's store. to come and help surround the negro. MT Blalock, s. C. Sheppard and one other white man went to the scene. armed with shotguns and pistols Five negroes also came up and il was l thought that Jones had gone through a. cotton patch and was hiding in q ditch. The negroes volunteered to effect his capture if the whites would give them the guns This they did and five negroes 1 led by Watson Lee, started through the cotton. As they approached a small corn patch the negro highwayman WAS seen by MT. Blalock from the edge of the field, and he called To the posse to look out for him. The five negroes pointed their guns at Jones and told him to throw up his hands He put up one hand and was edging his other hand up with q pistol in 1t when the whites called out to shoot. At the same time as the Volley came Jones fired one shot. the ball entering Watson Lees hand.
 i But one of the balls from the guns of the posse struck Jones and that hit him in the head and passed through his | brain. killing him instantly.
 1 In the negro's pocket was found the watch of the old peddler. and under the i house where he had at first taken refuge. l was found the peddler's coat and hat 1 There s. therefore. no doubt about tho | right man being caught. The action or the negroes in assisting in hs capture ! is highly commended and it is pointed l out that If it was done of.ener instead of shielding criminals. there would he less crime committed by the race.

Yesterday F. C. Giltner, representing the First Christian church of Eminence, Ky was in Selma as a special commas sioner to lay before the official board of the Selma church a petition asking for the release of Rev. Earnest Elliott, for the past six years pastor of the Emnenee church, and who has accepted the pas torate of the Selma church.
 MT. Giltner bore strong letters giving the reasons for asking for the release of Mir. Elliott and in an address to the board stated that MT. Elliott after serving the church for six years was just beginning to reap the fruits of his labors. that at a meeting just closed 60 additions had . been made to the church. That of this number the large majority were adults, bankers. merchants. lawyers, many of whom were among the most prominent citizens of Eminence. Mr Glltner stated that one night 50 of the converts were baptized by Mir Elliott and he declared that for him to remove from Eminence at this time would be harmful for the cause in that field of endeavor.
 The board took tine matter under care ful advisement and after consideration in connection with a telegram from MT. Elliott, who stated that he left the mat ter entirely in their hands they decided that inasmuch as the coming of Mir. FL liott had been agreed upon many months ago and the whole state notified, it would be greatly to the detriment of the church here and in Alabama for MT. Elliott not to come.
 The action of the Eminence G<y) church and the means employed to re- tain their pastor Is excellent evidence of the high esteem in which he is held and the Selma Christian church deem them selves fortunate in having secured him for a pastor.
