TURNER TO RACE.
Bishop Says His People Are Co
ing Through a Crisis.

Americus. Ga, Nov 16.-Before q
congregation, including 400 ministers.
of the Southwestern division of the
African Methodist church Bishop Hen
~ M. Turner delivered an address on
the Acknowledgement Of the negro Of
today. Bishop Turner said in part:
I'VE are passing through fearful
crisis now. The effort to disfranchise
and rule us out Of the pale of human
ity is an effort to disgrace us, a
scheme put in operation by malicious
and misanthropic men to cause our
degration. All of the dominating race
are not in favor of it, for hardly a day
passes but what white men tell me il
their people bestir themselves to save
our humanity, and | verify believe it is
true.
IF we had stood up as we should
have done We would not be puppets of
degradation. There is no harmony
amongst us, no concern about our
rights and the rights of our children
and children's children. Every one OF
us that sits quietly is tying our chill
dren's children 10 the wheel Of degra-
dation for 100 years to come

TREATY WITH KOREA.
Japan Charged With Overriding
Rights of America.

San Francisco, Nov. 16.-The Cham
Der Of Commerce Of this city has re-
solved to ask the California delegation
in congress to inquire into the action
of Japan in alleged attempts to over
ride the treaty existing between the
United States and Korea. Minister
Hubert addressed a COMMUNICATION to
the Chamber of Commerce in which
he stated that Japan had taken the I'M
tal steps, of course, which, if carried
to fulfillment meant the destruction Of
American Influence not only in Korea
but in China as well. The United
States has a close trade treaty with
Korea. Under this agreement Ameri-
can goods enter the Hermit kingdom
upon payment Of per cent duty. In
the process Of the reorganization ct
affairs in Korea Japan has undertaken
to revise its customs arrangements.
This Encouragement, it is stated, con-
templates a customs union between
Japan and Korea with the result of
goods from the United States being
charged the same rate of duty in
Korea as in Japan.

years ago.
The point st which the ore first de
its appearance is less than 100 feet We,
of the old Tom Pierce shaft, aud from
the fact that the foot wall streak is max

The former operators aud leasers in
the Fraction used steam power for the

WAS done by hand drills. The presen,

that form of power is used Tor the oper
