BETTER BALING ADVOCATED.
Railroad, Compress, and Cotton Men
Confer Before Commission.

Atlanta, Ga.--lmprovements in the
methods of baling and handling cot
ton, SO as to insure the greater pro-
lection OF the staple while en- transit.
was discussed by number OF rail-
road, compress and cotton men before
the state railroad commission.
Among those who appeared before
the commission were Harvie Jordan,
president of the Southern Cotton AS
ISOLATION: John Nisbet, of the Savan-
nah cotton exchange; j. S. b. Phomp-
son. of the Southern Railway Com
pany, and Mr. Kittridge, a writer on
textile subjects.
All the gentlemen present agreed
that some reform in the present cot
ton bale was necessary for the protec-
ton or the farmers, the common car
riers and all who dealt in cotton,
Mr.. Nisbet pointed out that NO other
staple received so little care and pro-
lection from the time it left the farm
er's hands until it reached the spin
ner Mr. Nisbet Is native Scotch
man, who studied the cotton business
in Egypt and has for forty years been
a cotton merchant in this country.
The object of the railroad commits
sion calling this conference was to
endeavor to set on foot a movement
which would crystatize the sentiment
in favor OF better cotton baling The
loss and damage to cotton in unpro-
tecter shacks, on station platforms
and at places of transshipment would
largely be obviated ii better system
of baling and covering could be de-
vised
The railroad commissions OF other
states will be urged to take up this
problem for the protection Of the peo-
pie and in order that the cotton bale
may reach its destination in more
marketable shape.

Bureau for Eoreiqners.

Washington, D. Interesting
work is being done by Secretary
Straits, of the Department of Com

coming to this country by the forma-

bureau.
Nine hundred thousand postal cards
have been sent to all employers on
rural free-deliyery routes, whether
they be farmers or artisans, asking If
help is needed in their communities
Already more than 1,40O replies have
been received, although the cards
were sent out only short time ago.
The immigrants after going through
the channel of immigration reach a
stage where they are suspicious Of
every person. 1t is expected that it
will restore their confidence and ma
terially aid them when they can be
made to see that the employment bu-
reau is under the control of the Gov
eminent and is designed for their es-
pecial benefit.

exposed for over 500 feet. will be

and drifted on for over 500 feet ex.
posing several feet Of ore practically
the entire distance, the ore being
galena, partly shipping ore and
partly high grade concentrating ore.
The old crosscut was then con.
tinued in straight line. The
ledge was encountered in 14O feet

feet wide with four feet of high
grade concentrating ore at a depth
of 500 feet from the surface. The
crosscut was continued 120 feet be-

Drifting eastward has been COM

1t will require $50 feet of work to

besides lead values.
The vein which traverses the pro-
perty is 20 feet wide, but the present

The group consists of three claims
and a fraction located on Rose Bud

THE WONDER

The lower crosscut tunnel on the
Wonder is now in about 600 feet.
According to the management the
ore shoot should be tapped within
the next 300 or 400 feet, which
will bring the tunnel under the
point on the surface where the big
blowout was found. The ledge
which is wide one, is heavily
capped with iron identical with
that of the big producers.

the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The Idaho Northern Niagara
group, owned by G. W. Hendricks,
Joseph Thompson, William Taylor,
George H..Davis and Perry Taylor,
is one Of the new discoveries of the
year, having been found in August.
The claims are located in Niagara
gulch, 10 miles from Murray by
the wagon road, but three miles in
all air line.
The ledge exposed in the outcrop
is about 30 feet wide, quartzite, and
carries values in lead and silver.
A crosscut to the ledge will be
driven 20 feet, when drifting for
70 to 100 feet will be started.
Four men are employed building
the camp and work on the property
will be actively carried on all win
ter. The discovery is one OF the
many in the Eagle district which
looks exceptionally good.
