EXPECTATIONS ARE met
Old Spanish Mine, in Which Hatties-
bursans Own Principal Interest, Is
Turning Out Fine in Its Ore Yield
to Date.

The prospects are good that a num-
bor of Hattiesburgans have Struck it
rich" in some mining property in Mex
ico.
About a year ago F, F. Phillips and
two other gentlemen went to Mexico
to look over some prospective mining
property. 1t was an old Spanish mine
that had been worked centuries ago
and was located at Tehauacan, State
Of Pueblo, 125 miles south of the City
of Mexico.
Other parties became interested in
the old Spanish mine and over half
of the stock in the mining company
was purchased in Hattiesburg, the buy
ers being w. E. Griffin, H. C. Greer.

There is no better man living than
Judge w. H. Cook. To those who
have been intimately associated with
him, the splendid Christian character
of the man has long been known.
He has a big, sympathetic heart and
it would be impossible for him to fail
to manifest kindness to the erring
ones who come before his court to hear
the judgment of the court.
Yet, though he is gentle and kind,
he strongly believes in the enforce
ment of the law.
Yesterday when the case of John
Newell, negro, charged with forgery,
was called, the judge asked, first the
negro's attorney if he had anything to
say and after the attorney had spoken
he asked the negro If he had anything
to say and the negro made a pitiful
talk, calling God to witness, that he
was not guilty. but was the dupe
o. another negroTa Pythian lodge or
ganizer, who had skipped out with
everything in sight. He said he want
ed the judge and the hearers to know
that he was innocent of the charge
against him.
AS matter of fact the evidence
against the negro was not thoroughly
convincing although the jury had found
him guilty. Many men have been
turned loose on more evidence against
them. Judge Cook told the negro that
he sympathized with him and believed
he had been made dupe. yet he felt
compelled to carry out the verdict of
the jury which recommended mercy,
he would therefore sentence him to
two years in the penitentiary.
Another negro, John Blanks, had

Little Wood Used In Them, and They
Are Practically Fireproof.
There is minimum OF wood used
for house construction In the cities of
Mexico, and there is absolutely nothing
to burn except what furnishings the
houses may contain. The walls are
solidly built of stone and brick or in
the less costly structures Of adobes,
which are thickly plastered inside and
out with mortar or stucco. The floors
are Of brick, stone or tiles. while the
roofs are of brick laid in mortar or in
some cities of semicylindrcaI clay
tiles. Many roofs are arched with
brick laid fiat, not on edge, and 1t is
marvellous how slight curve some Of
these arches have. Yet they support
heavy weights and have lasted through
centuries.
Flat roofs are supported by 9 by @
inch hewn pine joists placed eight inch
es apart These joists are often twen-
ty feet in length. The doors are heavy,
hanging upon ornamented wrought
strap hinges and secured by strong,
handmade locks, which have remark.
ably large complicated keys. Pract.
cally the only wood used in cons rue
ton is for the doors and joists which,
support the roof The church roofs are
invariably of brick arches, usually sew.

fire traps in Mexico as those mansard

piscontent with work.

That there Is much discomfort with
work among the SO called middle class
es In America is due In large part to
the pampering of children, to the sup
plying of their natural and artificial
wants and to the sentimental idea that
their day of toll will come soon
enough" In general. work is not a
curse, but blessing, positive means
of grace. One can hardly begin too
early to impress upon children lessons
Of self help by tasks appropriate to
their age and forces and to beget In
them scorn of idleness and of depend
ence on others. To do this is to make
them happy through the self respect
that comes with the realization OF
power and thus to approximate Tenny-
sons goal of man. "Self reverence, self
knowledge, self control.
If you can add to competency, and
honesty, enterprise In want advertis-
ing, you can find work.

A BAD BLAZE
is AvERTED
BeIivsry Driver Smells Smoke and
Puts Out Fire at Sprague's
establishment,
NO ALARa WAS SOUNDED

A fire was narrowly averted Sat
urday afternoon in the rear OF the
printing establishment of Abram M.
Sprague, 124 Main street. Totten-
Vile. Albert Leigh, of Princes Bay,
a driver for the S. S. White Dental
Company, delivering some goods at
the place, smelled smoke.
Upon investigation he found the
rear end of the building on fire. A
few pals of water soon put the blaze
out. Mr. Sprague was at lunch at
the time and there was no one in
the store attached to the printing
office but his sister-in-law, Miss
Hattie Pateman, of Perth Amboy.
1t is though that the trouble
started from a fire that was lighted
In the rear of the building IN the
morning. There was no alarm sent
in. The damage was trif1ing, but II
1t had been left few minutes more,
1t might have been serious, as the
structures in that block are all
frame, and would have burned fast.

ryyCIFs IN COLIISION.

Roy Slaight, thirteen years old,
of Johnson avenue, Tottenville, had
q narrow escape from serious injury
while riding his bicycle in Amhoy
avenue about 4:30 o'clock Friday
afternoon. William Abbott, riding
a motorcycle up the avenue, did not
see young Sleight dart out from be-
hind wagon that stood in front of
Cottrell's grocery store.
The motorcycle struck the bicycle
with such force that it sent the boy
up in the air and he landed on the
handlebars of the motorcycle.
Sleight received a severe bruise on
the right hand and elbow, and his
coat was torn in several places. He
was able to go to his home.
Both machines were put out of
commission. The front wheel of the
bicycle had all of the spokes torn
out and the motorcycle had the bat
terry box ripped off. Mr.. Abbott,
who keeps a bicycle repair shop in
Amboy avenue, took both machines
to his place.
