A LIVELY CAMP
Salt Lake Talent Is Now Pay
ing Much Attention to
This Old District.
MOUNTAIN DELL SHIPPING
TYING PROPERTY ONE OF THE
STATES BIG MINES.

American Fork, Sept e.-M E. McGar-
rick. one of the states best mining ex-
perts, accompanied by J. G. Jacobs and
e j. McNitt, of Salt Lake City, spent the
fore part of the week at the Pacific mine
In American Fork canyon. Mr. McNitt is
one of the company's largest shareholders
and. after hearing the opinion of Mr. Nc
Garrick and seeing the property himself,
ne is very well pleased with the condi-
lions or the mine. The property is in fine
shape, the mana cement having lust com
menced work on the air tunnel to connect
with the workings in the upraise from the
main tunnel at a point where thew had
Just encountered some very fine ore but
were compelled to stop operations on &C
count OF the bad air. 1t is the opinion
or the different experts who have visit ed
this property in the last few DAYS that
they will encounter a body of carbonate
ore in the air tunnel.
James Chapman, of Salt Lake, and T.
W, NeVll, civil engineer, also of Salt
Lake, spent the past two or three days at
camp. The principal object of the visit
was 10 make survey of the Surprise
property now under dispute between the
Surprise people and the leasers of the
Miller Hill mine. While there they made
an inspection of the various other prop
critics in which Mr.. Chapman is inter
eSted. And, incidentally, Mr.. Chapman
will have a chance to see the condition of
the roads as they now are. He is presi-
dent of the toll road company.
Mountain Dell Is Shipping.
. Reports from the Mountain Dell mine
in the last two or three days confirm the
big strike that has been made in that
property recently. A miner who came
from there yesterday stated that they had
an immense body of high grade ore and
that from appearances the ore shipments
which are now coming down regularly can
be kept up indefinitely.
The Surprise mine is making regular
shipments to the smelters of high grade
carbonate ore, which cbaracterizes the
Miller hill. A man who came down from
there yesterday stated they had, at the
least calculation, over 100000 worth of
the precious metal blocked out.
Jack Jones and associates have leased
the Shamrock claim from Judge Baskin
of Salt Lake, and have started develop
ment work on the same. This claim joins
the Tying mine and it is claimed by min
ers who have worked in the Tying prop
erty that all the large ore bodies which
have been encountered in that property
indicate that larger ones will be encoun-
tered in the Shamrock 1t has been de-
cided to sink shaft Immediately above

have run against the Shamrock line from

A Square Deal

Is assured you when you buy one OF DR..
Pierce's family medicines-for all the in
gradients entering into them are printed
on the bOttle-wrappers and their formula
are attested under oath as being complete
and correct. You know just what you are
paving for and that the ingredients are
gathered from Natures laboratory, being
selected from the most valuable native
medicinal roots found growing in our
American forests and while potent to cure
are perfectly harmless even to the most
delicate women and children. Not drop
of alcohol enters into their composition.
A much better agent is used both fer eX-
tracting and preserving the medicinal
principles used in them, ViZ.-pure triple
refined glycerine. This agent possesses
intrinsic medicinal properties of its own,
being most valuable anti-septic and anti
ferment, nutritive and soothing demul-
cent.
Glycerine plays an important part in
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in
the cure of Indigestion, dyspepsia and
weak stomach, attended by sour risings,
heartburn, foul breath, coated tongue,
poor appetite, gnawing feeling in stom-
ach, biliousneSS and kindred derange-
ments of the stomach. liver and bowels.
Besides curing all the above distressing
ailments, the "GOlden Medical Discovery"
is specific for all diseases of the mucous
membranes, as catarrh, whether of the
nasal passages or of the stomach, bowels
or pelvic organs. Even in its ulcerative
stages it will yield to this sovereign rem
edy If its use be perSeVered in. In Chronic
Catarrh of the Nasal passages, it is we'll,
while taking the "Golden Medical Dis
covery" for the necessary constitutional
treatment, to cleanse the passages freely
two or three times day with Dr. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. This thorough course
of treatment generally cures the worst
cases..
In coughs and hoarseness caused by bron-
chial. throat and lung affections, except con-
sumption in its advanced stages. the Golden
Medical Discovery is a most efficient REM
edg especially in those obstinate, hang-on
coughs caused by irritation and congestion of
the bronchial mucous membranes. The Dis.
covery +" is not so good for acute coughs ariS-
ing from sudden colds, nor must it be ex-
pected to cure consumption in its advanced
stages-no medicine will do that-but for all
the obstinate, chronic coughs, which, If neg
lected. or badly treated. lead up to consumnr
tion. 1t Is the best medicine that can be taken

PATHETIC STORY OF RUINED LIFE
Told Officers Here By a WretChed
Mother.

Lifting a face still beautiful, despite
the traces of dissipation, and holding
tightly in we'll chiseled arms her eight
months old babe, young woman
claiming Montgomery as her home
told pathetic story of wrecked and
ruined life to the police here yesterday.
Her presence here with the babe be-
came known to the authorities, who
sought her out for the purpose of
taking the child from her and sending G
it to an Orphanage. Tearfully she told
the story of her marriage, and recently
of the separation from her husband
who, she said, even refused to support
their babe; her desperation and-the
finale here. Tearfully she begged the
officers not to take her baby, promis-
ising that she would go her self and
place it in an orphanage where it
would be cared for. And this she has
done, despite the heart breaking it
caused to give the little one up. The
story of this beautiful girl wife is one
oftimes told in the shadows, where
only the guardians of the law and
others as unfortunate as herself can
| list to it and see the tears that flow
from the eyes of the woman-a woman
despite her misfortune, her faults and
frailties.

LETTER TO JNO. a. COBB.
AmeFicus, Ca.

Dear Sir: The easiest way we know
of TO make little money is-if your g
going to palnt-to paint with the paint
that takes the least gallons.
Take a small job; say it takes 10 gal
Ions Dcyoe, two coats; that's an aver
age house. When the job is done and
the bill comes in, it is 500; the paint,
etc., $17. so; the rest is for labor and
carriage; the labor is fixing the surface,
shifting ladders, scaffolds, pulleys and
ropes, and brushing-On paint.
Take another job exactly like that;
try another paint; it takes II gallons.
The bill is $40 more. Take another ex-
actly the same; another paint; it takes
20 gallons. The bill is 500.
There is only one Devoe; there's a
dozen 12-gallon paints, and 100 that take
20 gallons to cover 1O-gallon job.
The only difficulty is in finding out
Devoe. After that you save work;
there's less work in 10 than in II or 20
gallons; less paint to buy and less to
brush-on and less wages to pay.
If Devoe were only little better
than others, there'd be some difficulty
il finding out the difference. 1t goes
twice as far as half the paints; that
ought to be easy.
1t wears longer too. You'll wait a
good while, if you wait to find-out how
long it years. there are thousands of
people who know that the least gallons
paint wears longer.
Yours truly

A STORY OF THE TELEPHONE
Establishment of the Exchange Here and Rapid
Growth of Business.

Five hundred and forty-three tele-
phones, and eight thousand local calls
a day, on the average. In nut shell
that tells the story of the Americus
exchange of the Bell Telephone Com
pany./
One hundred and seventy five of the
telephones in use here are what is
known as business phones, the other
368 being located in private residences.
The business phones, of course, are
used much more trequ entity than those
in homes, and the bulk of the days
calls probably come from one third of
the phones of the city.
In the winter time, when business is
brisk, the local calls amount to 10000
day at times. During the summer
months they drop down sometimes to
1000 or less. The average is about
5000 daily.

Long DIstancs Business

In addition to the big local business
there is the long distance phoning, the
messages to the numerous cities of
Georgia and of the country at large.
On this class of business. one of the
most important of all, there are about
$50 calls aday on the average at the
Americas exchange.
j During the height of the business
season the calls to out of town points
! probably run to 45O or even as high
as 500 in day.
In the summer time, when there is
no cotton to be bought, and business
as whole is quiet, this feature of the
| business drops off considerably.
! In the local business the busiest
hours are from to 1880 a. m. while
in the long distance business the
busiest hours are generally from to
8 p. M, when the reduced night rates
are on. At that time the operators in
charge of the long distance phones are
kept very busy.
All through the day there is a run
ming demand on the services of the
operators, but at night, when the town
is well asleep, there is a little doing,
occasional calls for physicians and
| other important messages coming in
to vary the monotony of the long hours
of waiting in the operating room of
the ex change.
Nearly a Quarter Century Old.
1t is twenty three years since the
telephone system was introduced into
Americus.
bout 1888 Mr.. w. 7. Gentry, then
the ATLANTA agent, came to Americus,
and with the assistance of two Ameri-
Gus gentlemen canvassed the town,
it being necessary to secure thirty six
customers before the business would
be established.
There were then only few hours in
the day that the service could be had,
and on Sunday nothing was doing.
1t was several years before an all day
service was given here.
With the growth of the business of
the city, and the necessity of tele-
phones in stores and homes, the service
was expanded into an exchange.
For many years it was located under
the Windsor Hotel.
The expansion of the local patronage,
and the rapid growth of the long dis
tance business, lead to the erection of a
permanent home for the exchange, on
the most modern lines.
The building on Jackson street occu-

plans provided by the company, and
is leased by it for term of years.
| 1t is thoroughly up-to-date in every
respect and has a telephone equipment
second to that in no other city of the
size of Americus in the United States.
In fact there are very few cities OF
this size that have an exchange built
especially for the business as here.

The Bell company's affairs here are
in the hands of Manager l.. M. Haw-
kins, who has had an extensive

County Has Hard Proposition
To Deal With in Demented
At the County Jail.
CASE OF JOHN H. THORMEN
THERE is NO PROSPECT OF GET
TING HIM INTO EASTHAVEN
HOSPITAL.

The pitiful condition of John II.
this city, who is now hopelessly insane,
made deep impression on the com
missioners, when they visited the jail
| Saturday afternoon Mr. Wiley stated
that he had been informed that the I'M
fortunate man could not be admitted
to the Easthaven insane hospital for
at least two years. The commission
ers regret very much that Thorman
must be confined at the county jail
there is no other alternative.
What the county shall do with its
| insane is already a very grave ques-
ton" said MIR. Wiley, and one that
will have TO be solved shortly. The
insane hospitals throughout the state
are crowded. | am told. and it is diff
cult to secure the admittence OF pa
tients to these institutions. Pending
the admission of patients who cannot
be kept at their homes. it is necessary
to confine them in the county Jail,
which is d most unsatisfactory place.
Il think the county some time in the
/ near future. will have to provide a
place of safe keeping for these unfortu-
mates They cannot be kept at the
county infirmary as their screams and
actions would annoy the inmates
many of whom are old and in i'll
! health"
Besides Thorman there are four 9th
er insane men confined at the county
jail. and some times their yells make
the place a perfect badlam. Thorman
has absolutely no control over himself
and requires almost constant attention.
