BUSINESS LEAGUE MEETING.

The regular meeting of the Tallahas-
see Board of Trade will be held Tuesday,
next, in the Elks Hall, at p. m. As
some very important matters are to be
presented, all members are urgently re-
quested TO attend. The Board has been
very active in its effort for the ubuild-
ing of Tallahassee, and with the earnest
cooperation of the citizens, generally,
we predict very bright future for the
Capital City. There is no reason in the
world why Tallahassee should not double
its population in the next ten years.
Other towns, with much less advan-
tages, are doing it, all over the South.
Why can't we do it. too? We hope our
business men and citizens will wake up
to the fact. and do something. Attend
the Board of Trade Meeting Tuesday
night, and il you are not a member,
join, but come anyway, and give your
assistance in this important work.

The next number TO be presented by

Doone, For the benefit of those who
have never attended this form Of en-
tertainment, we quote a paragraph
from the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat. ''Mr. Armstrong (by whom the
play is presented), has found an un-
travelled way Of reaching the hearts of
patrons Of the dramatic art. He very
cleverly portrays one, two three or
four characters at once. One sees the
story depicted on the canvas, hears the
voice Of the characters, witnesses the
incidents described and gets the. full
benefit Of the moral pointed. the same
as II a well trained and talented COM
pany Of the performers was presenting
II. Mr.. Armstrong; performance IS
highly satisfactory from every stand
point. 1t Is edlfying, entertaining, in
structive. II is like reading the book,
seeing the story staged and living
among the people who are described in
the story, all at the same time. Dram
attic picture plays have future as well
as a mission
Mr.. Armstrong is expected in Talla-
hassee during the early part Of Deem

While no actual agreement ap

gard to the big producing mines o
this district, the outlok is none to,
cheerful In view Of the present con
ditton of the metal market.
A meeting Of the heaviest mininf
men of the district was held In Spo
kane at the home Of Charles SweenJ
and the following statement Is at
tributed to him at the close OF the
meeting:
I'VE met simply to compare notes
at q time when the mining Of lead
has developed into a rather unpro.
fitable business. You may say, how.
ever. that we do not contemplate the
curtailment of our output to any
remarkable degree. So far as I now
know there is no present disposition
on the part Of the mine owners to re-
duce their present forces of en-
ployes. The fact that the price OF
lead has dropped from S6 to $3.50 is,
of course. public property.
"The mining market is in such con-
dition at present that as business
proposition the mine owners of this
vicinity thought best I" nave an 'ex-
perience' meeting at which they
could arrive at certain conclusions
which would enable them to meet
any emergency which might arise.
But, as l have already said, the In
ference must not be drawn from this
that we contemplate the closing down
of any Of the mines. In fact, no de-
finite conclusions were reached, one
way or the other"
This meeting was also attended by
w. Clayton Miller, manager of the
Federal Mining & Smelling company,
who in an interview given out in Wal
lace, states that he canot say what
action is contemplated by his COM
pany. Mr.. Miller, however, does as
sert that no joint action has been
agreed upon by the different mine
owners.
There are persistent rumors afloat
all through the district to the effect
that both the Hecla and the Her.
cules mines at Burke will close down
about the beginning of the year and
up to the present time 1t has been i'm
possible to get definite information
on this point.
A meeting of the stockholders Of
the Hecla was held in Spokane Dec
ember 16 but the result of this has
not been given out for publication.
About 200 men are employed in the
mine.
