Oldest in the south

The Augusta (Ga9 Chronicle, whose
building was burned the other day. is the
oldest newspaper in the South. Estab-
nshed in 1885. it has not missed an issue
since. although. of course. it has not beer
daily through ali the 10 years of its life.
The Chronicle has been edited By some
of the most famous men OF Georgia The
late Gen. Patrick Walsh was its editor
for many years, and even after coming
20 the Senate, continued regularly his
editorial work on the paper Gen. Walsh
was succeeded by the Chronicles s present
editor Thomas w. LOyless formerly
paragra pher and editorial writer on the
Atlanta Constitution, who has maintained
the traditional high standard Of the paper
Il is said that but for the unyieldng op-
position Of the Chronicle. Tom Watson,
Georgia S great Populist leader, might still
be a member o. Congress. The paper has
persistently fought Watson from MS ap-
peayanee in politics, and even now at
times engages him in fierce logomachy TO
the delight of the readers Of newspaper
literature in Georgia.

LATEST REPORT FROM
THE ELY CONSOLIDATED
fsnecial to The Herald.l

Ely. New, April 24.-OlaUs Jeldnsss,
manager of the Ely Consolidated mines.
made the following statement last night
concerning the most recent development
in the Zack and Brilliant shafts:
'In the Zack we now have ore which
assays 40iz per cent copper and twelve
ounces of silver. Previous assays showed
81 per cent copper and third. &c per
cent All of these assays carry a dollar
or so In gold to the ton.
'-The average in the Brilliant shaft is
about per cent. The high grade copper
ore in the Jack was encountered al
depth of $40 feet and the shaft is still In
oxydized zone, with indications of the
near approach of moisture. The copper
carbonate in the shaft is all OF CONNER
cial value. The shaft is apparently very
close 10 the sulphide zone. to which the
bulk of the values have apparently
leached from nearer the surface. We are
going down at. the rate of twenty feet
a week with the aid of a 25-horse-power
gasoline hoist
1.-The Brilliant shaft is down ass feet,
and the last 40 feet is in sulphides. The
last sample taken from the Brilliant shaft
assayed 6 per cent. The ore is a chalcopy-
rite, which Is probably the primary en-
richfnent from which the cnalcocite has
been formed and enriched by upheavals
and the teaching process. The Brilliant
ore is Ideal for smelling and is Identical
to that taken from the great British Co
lumbia mines, 1t is a desirable fluxing
ore for low-grade gold and silver ores"

M'VICHIE ON THE WAY HOME

According to meager advices by wire
from New York there was an important
conference of Utah mining magnates at
the Waldorf-Astoria yesterday. In addi-
ton to the Heinze interests, it is under
stood that President David Keith of the
Silver King, as well as Manager Thomas
Kearns. were in attendance. +. II. Buhi
and George A. Baird of the Honerine were
also at the hotel and while no word to
that effect has reached here, it is believed
that J. E. Bamberger, president of the
Daly-West company, was also in attend
ance.
tons have. it is understood. been in daily
consultation for more than a week past
and the expectation was that there would
be a general pOw-wOW yesterday Of more
than ordinary significance to this region
1t is thought the general lines of merger
at Park City were being arranged and de-
cided upon; that the fate OF the pending
deal for the Honerine would be deter
mined and that other matters of equal inn
portance would be up for final conSidera-
ton and action.
Not word, officially. has come from
the conference chambers up to date. so
the mates mentioned are referred to
simply as q result of putting this and
drawing conclusions. Mr.. Heinze's chief
of-staff, Captain Duncan MacVichie, Is
supposed to have started west and it may
be that. on his arrival, If nothing in the
way of information is released from the
New York end in the meantime. some
thing concerning the plans of the big
combine will be made public upon the cap
tairi's arrival.
Naturally. the keenest interest is taken
here in the movements and plans of the
combination of interests that are now
working together on a scheme believed to
be of greater moment in the mining and
smelling world than anything that has
been done in years. The. release of de-
tails is slow in coming, but the news will
be all the better when ii does come.
