Mohave County miner., 1908-02-08

J. w. Gerritt has been prospecting
 the country north of Chloride and re-
 ports that there are many immense
 veins of iron capped rock in that
 region. -
 General Manager l.. Hoffman re-
 turned Monday evening from a trip of
 inspection to the mines of the Arizona
 Southwe stern Copper Company, in
 Crow Canyon. He reports that the
 adit drift has reached a distance of 225 feet on the vein. being twenty-five feet past the shaft. During January five feet per day was made in the drift. It is expected to encounter a big body of ore within the next 100 feet.
 It is understood that the Expansion Gold mining company is to take over the mill recently purchased by the San Diego Gold mining company, and which has not yet been hauled out to the mines, and erect it on the big mines to the south of the San Diego mines. The Expansion is getting ready to do things at the mines and it is believed by miners who have been at work in the property that it will prove up one of the big things of tEe Union Pass district. c. J. Callahan, the mining engineer, who has jus t made an examination of the property, will report on the method of working the ores from these mines, having had wide experience along that line.
 J. A. Davis, Sam Leavitt, Dr. J. T. Davis, and Ralph 1. Johnson went out to the Union Pass section last Tuesday morning, returning Thursday evening. They made an examination of the Lon don mine, owned by N. M. Richardson and have concluded to take an option with the privilege of sinking a shaft to a depth of 100 feet. Mir. Johnson, the mining engineer of the party, was fav- orably impressed with the mine and the possibilities of the district. Work is to be commenced on the mines at once. Messrs. J. A. Davis and Sam Leavitt are we'll known lumber manu- lecturers of the Pacific coast, having big mills and yards in Costello, Cali fornia. The party departed to San Francisco last night, where all ar for the working of the nine will be made.

YICKSBURG WILL
 HAVE TO PAY FINE

Jackson. Miss. July 1S.-tspeeiaL)- President Crowder was asked last night. or rather at an early hour this morning, what action he, as president of the Cotton States league. would take in case the Vicksburg Baseball as- soeiation declined and refused to pay the s100 fine he had assessed against them on the occasion of their last game here. when their conduct was unbe- coming and unprofessional. President Crowder had not heard that Vicksburg would refuse to pay the fine. and did not care to anticipate his action when there might not be any necessity for action in the matter. He was in formed that the Vicksburg Herald had intimated as much in stating that it would like for somebody to telegraph at their expense just when Jackson got that s100, and then proceeded to real the riot act to him. President Crowder
 T do not care anything about what the Herald man has to say about me personally" said MT. Crowder, but re- member that the money to pay that fine Is now in Jaekson-the proceeds of the Fourth of July games, and it will be up to Vicksburg to get it."

MAN AND HIS "NEURONS.p
Diseases of the Nerve Cells the Only

From the New York Times

From the New York Times
 When pr. Brandon or boston recent ly said that sickness is going out of fashion, "well-organized, civilized soci- ety will not stand for it, and it must go,' the doctor did not reckon with the nerve cell, the neuron and its cureless troubles. He was but speaking of crass germ and filth diseases. For loco- motor ataxia (Tabes dorsalis) the sons of men may have forever.
 The only absolutely out and out in- curable diseases are nerve cell, neu- ronic diseases, and it will presently be shown why this must be so. Neurons are the central nerve and brain cells, the cardinal units of life itself. Some are seemingly simple cells with star like points, while others may look like tadpole with a tail three feet long and reaching from the middle Of the back to the tip of the toes.
 The neuron is the center and origin of thought, sensation, and motion, but these cells are so complicated, so high ly and infinitely delicate and perfect in construction that, if injured or de- stroyed, it leaves no reproductive cells to reproduce or regenerate itself. once gone. gone entirely, which is only true of itself. for all other cells can repro duce and regenerate themselves .o some extent at least.

The Elephant at Bay.

w. G. Fitz-Gerald in Success Magazine.
 Twenty years of experience tells me that a whole regiment of lions cannot produce the same moral effect as one 12- foot African tusker when he cocks his big sail-like ears, draws himself up to his full height and looks at you, letting off at the same time blood-curdling scream, while in all probability others invisible to you are stampeding on all sides with the din and vibration of an earthquake. Surrounded in a dense jun gle by a herd of elephants they seem to block out the whole horizon. One I measured was actually IS feet from edge of ear to edge of ear No wonder my in- significant self seemed to shrivel and my huge express rifle to dwindle into a mere pea shooter. Try as I will on such occasions I can never overcome my sense of terror, and always feel inclined to throw down my elephant gun and run for safety till I drop

RESPECT OWNER IN INDIA.
Too Gifted a Man to Be Exposed tc
 Danger of Imprisonment.

From the London Standard.
 Diviners and spellbinders and adopts in white and black magic still abound in India. and though their habitat is the village, they are no strangers to the city Just before the last mail left, a curious case of the kind came before MT. Thorn hill, the chief presidency magistrate at Calcutta.
 A theft was committed in the house of one Nandu Lai Kahn in Bathuriag ghatta He learned that there lived in the neigh borhood a man named Satya Nando Sa- raswati who was reputed adept in tan trc lore, and who professed to detect thieves by means of a process known as Ealchaia, or the sense of smell. Tls mans services were requisitioned and by means of divination he "smelt out certain person in public as the person who had committed the theft.

university, and a Baptist divine of great learning and enterprise. In 1889 what is now known as Judson college was es- tablished at Marion by Gen. E. D. King and Prof. Milo R. Jewett.
 In 1S41 Howard college was established at Marion with Prof. S. s. Sherman in charge. A. number of other schools were established in different sections of the state by local agencies inspired by the educational movement among Baptists The convention took up the Judson and the Howard and have fostered them unto this day. In 1889 the Family Visitor, a Baptist paper was established at We tumpka by the advice and under the fos- tering care of the convention: and 1t has grown through many vicisstudes into the present Alabama Baptist, published 1T this city.
 In 1893 the Louise Short Widows and Orphans Home was established at Ever green by the convention and is now well equipped with grounds and buildings; and has under it's care more than 150j orphans When the history of this century of effort is written it will be seen that society in this state owes a great debt of grati- tude to Baptists for their work in edu- cation and charity. It was two Baptist ministers who, as it's first presidents founded and established the State uni Ncisity' VIZ. DiS. Awe WOODS ana Basil Manly; and their good work has not been excelled in that institution to this day Dr. l.. T. Tichenor was one of the first presidents of Auburn, and did much to set the standards of that great and grow ing institution.
 Interest In Temperance.
 From the earliest time the Baptists have taken a lively interest in temper ance and civic reform and even in pio- neer days, when the drinking of intoxi- erally approved the convention has gone on record against its excessive and habit ual use Later. when the saloon had become one of the institutions of society, it agitated against it's being licensed. It was on the invitation of the convention that the Anti-Saloon league was organ ized in this state. At the end of t.le century they may we'll look back over this struggle with congratulations to the Methodists. who have been their con- freres in this struggle
 It is proposed at the session in Roanoke this week to begin the celebration of this century of experience to gather wisdom and inspiration for the work of the next During the summer and autumn all of the associations meet. and each will hold special services to review it's history and work. Then in November a special ses- sion of the convention will be held in Montgomery to close the campaign. It is also proposed to raise $100O00 to fur ther the work of the denomination at a special thank-offerng to God.
