The Marlinton Messenger learns
from reliable sources of a new railroad
soon to be built in the counties Of Bath
aud Highland, in Virginia. While
the road will be nothing more at first
than lumber road, it is almost certain
to be extended and connect with some
of the larger roads in some section of
the eastern part of West Virginia.
The new road is going to be built
by the Shenandoah Lumber Co., from
a point near Milboro on the q. Il. q.
railroad, although the exact point of
Its leaving the G. &. o. has not yet
been determined. The only certainty
now known is that it will connect with
the G. &. o. at point either two miles
east or two miles west of Milboro. II
on the east. it will go up Mill Creek
about 12 miles and then cross the
divide onto the waters of CoWpasture
river and thence mp the river to Will
Evansville. If 1t connects to the west
of Milboro, it will go down a small
run which empties into Cowpasture
river, thence up the river to the above
mentioned town, distance of 20 miles.
1t is the intention, We understand, of
the Shenandoah Lumber co. to locate
their plant at Williamsville, which is
situated contiguous to their holdings,
consisting of 25 600 acres of fine timber
land lying on the waters of the Cow
pasture and Bullpasture rivers. The
land lies principally. in Highland coun-

THE HUMBOLDT MINE
Is SHIPPING ORE.

SALT LAKE, Fe's. &c orge w.
Morgan, president of the Morrison
Mining company, returned from a
visit to the company's properties in
Humboldt county, Nevada, ycster-
day morning. He had been up
through the Northwest with a party of
eastern shareholders in the com
pany, and the mine was taken in on
the way back from the coast, the
fasteners continuing their journey
home by way OF Ogden, without com
ing to Salt Lake.
A carload Of ore is now being
loaded at Mill City and Mr.. Morgan
states THAT it will be followed by
another just as soon as it can be got
ten to the loading station by the
teams. No prediction is beng made
on the total value OF this consign
ment, but, judging from the string OF
assays that are made at the property
from day to day, it is safe to say that
the ore will net all of 800 per ton.
A certificate showing a control
lot of samples gave returns of IL
ounces gold, 1913 ounces silver and
Ills per cent lead. These fgl res
indicate that the mine is showing some
kind of form.
The boilers for the new hosting
and compressor plant, with other ma
t@erial, have already reached camp,
and a second carload of machinery
reached here yesterday. The new
working shaft is now down over 50
feet and, while it is not expected that
the ledge will be cut inside of $50
feet, there are stringers Of ore, rich
in chlorides, coming in already.
President Morgan and his visitors
were highly pleased with conditions
as they found them at the time.

ingly beautiful. Every room
and there seem to be about a
thousand of them-is filed
with celebrated paintings or
statuary or etchings or some
historical object. Surely, the
people of the United States
should see Washington to ap-
preciate what becomes of a
part of the money that is spent
by congress. No other nation
on earth could build such public
buildings as are found in Wash
ington. After doing the library
we went over to the White
House, but as the president
was busy with the ambassador
from Hoboken, we didn't call
on him. The policeman who
Watches the door at the White
House told us the president
would be glad to see us after
luncheon, but as we had to see
the rest of the city we told him
it would be impossible for us to
get back, so the president will
have to be disappointed in see
ing the handsomest editor in
Iowa. AS it was near dinner
time we wandered up to the
Raleigh, got dinner and went
to see Ellen Terry and her COM
pany at the New National
theatre. Wednesday morning
we got up early and took in the
entire city in an automobile
with a friend of Franks. It's
a great city, and there is
enough there to keep a fellow
sight seeing for a week. We
took in the Washington mon
ument, the Corcoran art gal
lery, the treasury building and
about everything else in the
city. We called on Jesse New
ton at the Interstate Comme rec
building and found him happy.
He wanted us to stay over a
day, but as we had Baltimol e
and Philadelphia to co that
day after leaving Washington
we had to decline his invita-
tion. AS this letter is already
too long we will close and tell
you about Baltimore and Phila-
delphia later. We will leave
New York some time next
week for home, perhaps Mon
day or Tuesday, which will put
US in the Valley about the mid
die of next week, three weeks
from the time we left.

Their duties are to see that the

go out in the jungles. Another

wood to bring home. Some
stay around their quarters and
make themselves and every
body else miserable, while
others get drunk and fight, but
this class of men don't last very
long, they get the fever or the
blues and it is .'23" for them.
They drink this native rum and
it certainly makes them 'Loco"

Sets Aside Jury Panel

Denison, Ia, April Judge
Church, in the district court,
set aside the entire panel of
grand and petit jurors of this
county on the grounds that in
some cases the names of mem
bers of the election boards
choosing the jurors on the lists,
and further that the boxes
which the jurors are drawn
have not been properly kept by
the auditor and clerk. The
board of supervisors now in
session has been ordered by
the judge to prepare a new
list of electors from which new
jurors can be drawn.
The action Of the Judge is
important in that it probably
sets aside the indictments
against the two Syrian peddlers
who are held here for the mur-
der of a fellow peddler.
