D. H. Mays Well Received.

Dannitte H. Mays, OF Monticello,
candidate for congress for this,
the Third district, spent last Fri
day here renewing old acquaintances
and making new friends. OF course,
among other things, Mr Mays was
looking after, his interest in his con-
gressional candidacy, and he told US
he was pleased, even beyond his
greatest expectation, with the gener-
Gus encouragement he received while
here. Mr.. Mays has a splendid rec
ord as public man, is a model citi-
zen, and was born and reared in the
district which he seeks to represent
in congress. We are assured his
platform, which he will have publish
ed throughout the district later, will
make no demagogic arn>~~' a preju-
dice, no sensational attacks on CAPT
tai, but will contain promises to the
people that will assure them that
their interests will be protected in
any legislation affecting their rights,
so ar as it lies in his power. if he
is elected to congress. We commend
Mr.. Mays to the people of this dis
trict He is an excellent gentleman.
and worthy of the honor he seeks at
the hands of the voters.-Chipley

Newspaper and ministerial circles
throughout the South will be inter
ested in the news that Sam w. Small,
the well known Georgia newspaper
man. preacher and lecturer, after an
unusually long spell" at preaching,
has gone back to his first and best
love and is now editor of the Cairo,
CID Evening American, a new, up-to-
date paper in that city. The versa
tile Sam doesn't stick long at any
particular line of his varied indus
tries. but his peculiar strength lies
in the fact that he is really good at
any of them. He is equally at home
on the press and platform or in the
pulpit, north, south east and west.
He is something of free lance in
both politics and religion, but not
the less effective for that.

Laney at DeFuniak.

Laney at DeFuniak.
Hon. Chas. III. Laney, of Pensacola,
candidate for congress from this dis
trict, made his opening speech here
Saturday at the court house to rath-
er small crowd. but one that gave
him the closest attention. Mr.. Laney
has a reputation as one Of the best
stump speakers in this section, and
there is no doubt that he can de-
liver a talk that will amuse but
whether it is one that will stay with
those who hear it and impress them
that he is the proper man to send to
congress, as Kipling would say, an
other story. Mr.. Laney denies en-
phaticaily that he is the candidate
of the saloon element, or to speak
more exactly, that they brought him
out, Insisting that he is a candidate
of his own making, but he does adj
NIT that the saloon men are support
ing him, because they believe that he
is more consistent than either Kehoe
or Griggs. Just what interest the sa-
loon men may have in sending a con-
sistent prohibitionist to congress is
one of the questions that remains I'M
answered. He paid his respects to
the Breeze for intimating that his
candidacy was a joke, told some fun
ny stories and painted some pretty
word pictures, but so far as stating
his position on any of the great ques-
tons that interest the people beyond
liberal appropriations for rivers and
harbors, he was decidedly shy. Never
fail to 90 to hear Laney. He will
always interest and amuse you.-De-

A ceIluloid collar and set of false
teeth were received last week by the
bureau OF standards to be tested. 1t
was not joke. The bureau prompt
ly made tests and furnished the de
sired information to the anxious in
quirers.
In the case of the false teeth the
sender wanted them tested for their
ability to sustain pressure. There
are certain standards 10 which even
teeth must measure up. If the porce-
lain. or other substance of which the
imitation teeth are made, viii not sus-
tain the pressure applied by the nor
NAL action of pair of hungry jaws,
then they are a cheat The dentist
who bought from the dental iohh>-
wanted to know whether he had been
cheated Or whether he would be safe
in fitting up his customers with that
brand of porcelain.
The celluloid collar was tested for
infiammabilitv. All eelIuloid is more
or less explosive, and many a serious
accident has occurred by the ignition
Of a celluloid collar or cuff. Funda-
mentally. celluloid is the same as gun
cotton. But there are ways of treat
ing it for commercial uses which will
reduce this explosive quality. and the
man who sent the collar wanted to be
sure that 1t was not explosive.

sat himself down and wrote Mr.. VIII

yer ore has again been broken into and
shipments will once more be started.
Joe Bradley, who is part owner in the
lease on this property, has demonstrated
the fact that he is a thorough mining
engineer. having taken the lease when
everybody was asserting that the prop
erty was worked out. He knew other
wise and gamely went to work to prove
his theory correct. He has done SO and
will now reap the reward he SO richly
merits by cashing smelter drafts at the
rate of $40. 900 per car load. The Watt
mine has a record of 800. 000. in the
past three years and the property is yet
a mere prospect. Mr.. Bradley says he
will ship more ore the next ten months
than the entire output of the mine in
lays past.
Work is progressing in a way more
than satisfactory to Messrs. McIntire
and Escobar on their claims just north
Of the Clifton mill and adjoining the
property OF the Nevada Equity Mines
company. The past week has been of
moment to the hustling owners for
they have uncovered a large body of
high grade ore. They are working night
and day sinking a shaft which Is now
down 80 feet. The ore improves with
depth.
When the winter months are over and
work can be done without entailing
hardships and needless expense active
operations will be resumed upon a large
number of properties and plans are now
being mapped out for work on a large
scale.

We can now automatically state that
the mines of Austin will again resume
operations. says the Reese River Re-
veille. Sidney Smith and associates
who visited Austin about ten days ago
and made inspection Of the various prop
critics Of the old Manhattan company,
were so we'll pleased with the showing,
that they at once paid spot cash, an
amount of money running well into six
figures and in return received a deed TO
the entire holdings of the old Manhattan
ompany The deal was put through
with a rush and without eclat. which
fact clearly demonstrates that the new
MANAGEMENT is composed of able, keen
and clear cut business men.
Among the promised good things for
Austin, are, a custom mill, a power
plant at Big Creek for the purpose OF
supplying power for the mill at Clifton,
for the large hosting engines to be
erected at the different mines and the
furnishing of light to the populace OF
Austin. This power plant and line from
Big Creek will cost about $4,000.
1t is the intention of the new manage
ment to sink several shafts on different
properties to the depth of at least LOO
feet, thereby opening virgin ground.
Therefore we can readily see that 1t
will be the aim and object to open
up new ground and not depend solely
upon the workings opened up and ex-
plotted years ago. Mr.. Smith ays the
values are here and he is going to de-
monstrate that fact. That he is sin
cere is shown when he says that he in
tends to expend the sum of $500, 600 for
machinery and labor in the development
and proving of the properties.
The new company will have a CAPT
talization of $40, 900. 900. and is being
financed by the most able and con-
sentative business men OF New YORK
city and Chicago. As a matter of course,
it can not be expected that the works
and properties will at once swarm with
busy men employed as mechanics, min
ers and laborers. 1t will take some time
to perfect all the little details neces-
sary to such a vast undertaking. In

WILL ERECT MILL
ON sHosHoNE CREEK

The Round Mountain Reduction COM
pany has finally decided to erect their
plant on Shoshone Creek and men are
now engaged in putting up the mill
building on the original site selected
says the Round Mountain Nugget.
For some time General Manager C. II.
Nazro has been contemplating putting
up the mill at the base of Stebbins hill.
but after considering the matter from
all points of view determined in favor
of the creek site.
The lumber which was bought in Salt
AXE City has been arriving by twenty
mule teams during the past week and
there is sufficient on the ground to be-
gin the construction work with. John
W. Erickson is in charge and no time
will be lost in rushing the work to com
pletion. He is an expert mill man. hav-
ing been formerly associated with the
Hendrick & Balthoff Manufacturing
company Of Denver. He it was who put
up the big mill at Silver Bell. Arizona,
for the FL Tero Mining company.
The EIspass mill. which has already
been bought in Denver. is somewhere on
the road to Round Mountain. Besides
the mill. Mr.. Erickson has drawn the
plans for a company living house and
Offices. which will be put up near the
mill building.
The water will probably be furnished
to the mill through the means of a wei
which Is being dug. A bed rock dan
will probably be built in order to retair
the water and secure a sufficient level.
