GROUND IS FULL or
GOLD IN THE WEST,
Americas Man Prospects In
Colorado.
ASPHALT MINES IN TERRITORY
In Which He Has Interest IS Proving
Bonanza AIready-Mr. Bragg
Talks Interestingly OF His Invest
ments in Mining There.

With miles of the richest asphalt ly-
ing at his feet and representing untold
wealth, Mr.. George M. Bragg looked
upon the mines, richer than those of
Golconda, and mentally calculated the
fabulous wealth that he and his asso-
ciates will amass soon.
Mr.. Bragg returned to Americas yes
terdaY from business trip to Colorado
and Indian Territory, where he has
mining interests, and tells a very in
teresting story of his trip.
This was his second tour there and
more profitable than the first.
While he is interested to some eX-
tent in mines in Colorado it was in In
dian Territory, the scene of the recent
ly discovered asphalt region, that most
interested him, There the rich black
substance in quantities inexhaustible
covers the earth.
And Mr.. Bragg is stakeholder and
director in a recently organized and
chartered company which owns the
best part of it.
The seam, Mr.. Bragg says, is two
miles in length and varies in width
from 80 to $50 feet, and of incalculablt
depth. Drills sent down hundreds o
feet did not penetrate it.
1t crops out upon the surface at in
tervals, the rich black substance melt
ing, almost, by the sun.
1t is believed that millions of tons OF
the crude asphalt can be dug out of the
ground there, and as it Is worth $40 pei
ton on the market the value of the
find" can be estimated. And it was
found by a Georgian, too, former
citizen of Macon.
He and Mr.. Bragg arelifelOng friend:
and are interested together in the as
phalt mine, as are many prominen
people of the locality. The asphalt car
be mined and delivered in New York
for 500 per ton, where it brings $50 OF
the market.
Mr.. Bragg is greatly elated at the
success of his recent trip and the pros
pect of a fortune in it.

THE MEDIcos HAVE a MEETING
Physicians OF County Handsomely
Entertained.

An occasion of much pleasure and
interest was the meeting of the Sumter
County Medical Society on Wednesday
evening at the. handsome home of DR..
w. S. Prather. Upon conclusion of the
brief business session, held in the dou-
BILE parlors, the several guests were in
vited into the dining room where a
sumptuous feast awaited. DR.. Prather,
an ideal host ever, was well assis-
ted in dispensing the inequalities of
the occasion by his charming wife,
and the medicos were entertained in
manner royal. The dining room, parlors
and reception hall were prettily decora-
ted in vines and cut flowers, and good
cheer reigned within. The society has
had mang enjoyable sessions since it's
organization two years ago but this lat
ter meeting easily surpassed all others,
and DR. and Mrs. Prather were con-
graduated upon the complete success of
the occasion

THE CITY TO BORE NEW WELL
Water Supply Must Be Increased
Shortly.

Americas is going to take more water
in hers, and to that end the city is now
negotiating for another artesian well
at the waterwOrks station. The two
fine wells there already, in connection
with the city's springs, afford a bounti-
full supply of water for all purposes, but
Americas is growing rapidly now and
more people will require more water.
Another well at the pumping station
can be sunk easily, and the additional
water supply will be sufficient for a
number of years.

STILL PILINc UP THE LOSSES
Farmers at Great Expense Now
Keeping Hogs.

Another week of warm weather, and
still no prospect of relief for the farmer
who has half hundred or more hogs
to feed that should have been butchered
and hung up month ago. A promi-
nent farmer says that unless cold
weather comes in few days the cost of
feeding the hogs will be practically all
they are worth. and besides the farmers
will be left without corn to run them
another year.

Glad Summer Has Crowded Out Old
Winter.

Numerically, Americas is still MAX

weather remains warm and the trees
upon which the buds began swelling a

of the year. The coal business is almost
at a standstill as far as coal for warmth
is needed and the ice man is making
the regular summer runs again. AS for
the orchards in this vicinity, no more
can be said. The fruit growers are
merely standing idly by and taking
close notice of the results of the warm
weather upon the crops.
