'ThOse who invest in successful mines
during their early period of development
are the ones who capture the largest
prizes. Men of ordinary means cannot
afford to buy stock in big dividend Learning
mines; they must win fortune by putting
their money into meritorious new propo-
sitions and await favorable results" This
is the advice given by mining man In a
recent magazine article.
The Real-Alto Mining Company is the
'meritorious proposition" above referred
to. Indeed, 1t is more than meritorious.
it is an assured proposition, as shown by
the recent reports of the engineer There
is no guesswork about finding ore; the ore
is in sight and is being blocked out.
The latest letter from the engineer, H.
w. Young, dated September Is, says:
"The tunnel in Santiago mine is now in
100 feet, and there is two feet of ore in the
face. Last assay on this ore shows value
of 1884 20, Mexican, per ton. / think we
are safe in counting on half this value
for the general run of ore, which Is GER
tainly encouraging
''Your worst troubles are over, In that
you have good mines already opened and
in paying ore. !"

Hon. John Franklin Fort, Republican
candidate for Governor, paid Mount Holly
visit on Thursday for the purpose of
greeting his old friends in Burlington
County. His first act was to visit his
aged father who lives ON Broad street
with his daug liter, Mrs. Walter Oliphant.
The father, Andrew H. Fort, is SO years
of age, and is in excellent health, save
catalacts on his eyes, which have deprived
him of his sight. He knew his sons voice,
however, and the two sat and conversed
for long time.
On leaving the Broad street house,
Judge Fort, accompanied by his sister,
Mrs. Walter Oliphant, went to the home
of Prosecutor Atkinson. There he was
greeted by his aunt, Mrs. Arthur Thorn
as, his sister, Mrs. Jacob G. Hendrickson,
his aunt, Mrs. Charles B. Parsons, and his
cousin, Mrs. Samuel A. Atkinson. After
few moments conversation with the
ladies he entered the house where the
Prosecutor had provided a fine lunch and
while 1t was being served greetings were
being extended to the candidate by the
gentlemen present. During the lunch
Governor Stokes, accompanied by State
Treasurer Voorhees,, arrived and Joined
the party.
About half-past one o'clock Judge Fort
reached the Fair grounds and was imme-
diately conducted to the green in front of
the grand stand, where he was soon sur
rounded by crowd of friends and hand.
shaking was the rule for the next two
hours. While moving around Judge Fort
met Mr.. Katzenbach, the Democratic can
didate for Governor. The two gentlemen
shook hands and while thus engaged an
enterprising photographer got an excellent
picture of the two.
Judge Fort left town on an afternoon
train, going to his summer home at Spring
Lake.

FAIR NOTES.

William Butler had piece bitten out OF
his left hand by stallion.
In the art department there were 427
exhibitors with $500 articles.
Amy, fat woman, was the best ad
vertised attraction on the ground.
The largest pumpkin weighed 144
pounds, squash, 100, watermelon, IS.
The cold northwest wind on Wednesday
made it very unpleasant on the grand
stand.
The Igorrote village was conceded to be
one of the most interesting places at the
fair. They were the real thing, sure.
While exhibiting his prize bull on Wed
nesday morning, Patrick A. Hogan had
his groin ripped open by the animal and
was badly injured. Ten stitches were re-
quired to close the wound
The two midways were lined with all
sorts of attractions, more so than for sew
eral years past. A little of everything
was seen there which go to make up a
show.
If a person so desired, he had plenty of
opportunity to get rid of his money, as
fakirs were as thick as flies around sugar
barrel The man who succeeded in beat
ing these fellows at their own game has
yet to make his report.
Samuel Schiller, Frank Curran and
Charles Miller were arrested by Detective
Parker on Thursday on a charge of at
tempting to pick pockets. The officer
caught them in the act of robbing man
on the fair ground They were sent to
jail for five days by Justice Hebron.
The agents of Amy" were very in
dustrious as well as noisy. In the eve
ming of the first day of the Fair one of
them paraded High street, shouting at the
top of his voice through megaphone.
The next evening he started to repeat the
performance when policeman Branson
told him he must stop it. "What will
happen If don'tf" asked the fellow. 1
will have to arrest you for disorderly con-
duct, said the captain. "Well, " said the
fakir, that will be cheap advertising. :"
But when the policeman said that fines
were not being imposed and that all dis
orderly cases were going to jail for about
thirty days. the fellow said chats differ
emit :" and stopped his noise

Board of Taxation.

The Burlington County Board of Taxa
ton has completed its compilation of as
sessments and has fixed the tax rate for
the various townships. The county tax
rate will be 81 cents, which is five cents
lower than last year, in accordance with
the provisions of the statute on that point.
This five cents will, however, be added to
the state school tax. This condition arises
from the fact that the values of property
in the upper part of the state were in
creased more in proportion than they were
in South Jersey, hencethe former localities
got the lions share of the school moneys.
There Is food for reflection In this item.
When values were put up to somewhere
near their true height, there was a great
hue and cry and appeals followed with
rapidity, and many thousands of dollars
were cut off by the State Board. Instead
of owners being willing to pay tax on
somewhere near the value of their hold
ings, the general desire was to get out of
such payment While this was beneficial
to the individual the community suffered
In the table which follows is the rate
that will be assessed on each 800 in the
several townships. In many cases the
rate is higher than last year, but in every
instance the law respecting reduction
has been adhered to. For instance,
Northampton has the same rate as last
year. The law says that where the rate is
less than 81, it must be cut down five
cents until 1t reaches $1.75. But the state
school tax is exempt from this provision.
Last year the rate in Northampton was
made up thus: County, 70; state school, Is
cents; township and special school, 81 90.
Leaving the state school out the rate in
Northampton was $1.95, so that, under
the law it must be cut down to $3.50 this
year. Adding the 20 cents for state
school, it makes the rate $2.1O In town
ships where the rate was, last year, 81. rs
or under 1t could not be advanced beyond
that figure, but might be brought up to it..
This has happened in several cases, the
result of increased appropriations. The

In the Circuit Court the case of Pitlnan
& Stackhouse VS.. the Pennsylvania Rail
road was tried. This was a suit for dam
ages for the destruction of hay press at
Juliustown in April, 1906. The plaintiff
claimed that the fire was the result of neg
ligenee on the part of the railroad COM
pany, in not having the spark arrester on
locomotive In good order. 1t was shown
that there were two fires the same day the
hay press was destroyed, both of which
originated from sparks from the engine.
Testimony was produced to the effect that
sparks were thrown in the grass which
had been allowed to grow high on the
railroad property, and from there the
flames crept to the property which was
destroyed. The jury rendered verdict
of $4,000 In favor of Pitman s. Stack
