TENT NOTES

Rev. Burke Culpepper yesterday aft
ernOon spoke on how to approach and
talk to sinners to bring them to the
anxious seat
At night Mrs. Blalock and Mrs
Hampton sang a duet very beautifully.
Then Rev. j. B. Culpepper told a very
amusing story. after paying Rev. R. II.
Barnett. of Ocala, and DR.. Wadsworth,
of Augusta, Ga, high compliments for
their spiritual graces, about the siege
Of Vicksburg and the passing along
its banks Of U. s. gunboat. which
the COnfederates attempted to sink
by getting a cannon on the banks of
the Mississippi concealed in the strip
OF wood and underbrush, unseen by
the gunbOat officers. But the thicket
was so dense the gun carriage could
not be pulled through it, so the how
itzer was mounted on a mule and
placed in position. The boat coming
in sight the fuse was lit, but it sput-
tered and irritated the mule who did
all kinds of fool stunts. whirled around,
kicked and backed and danced the can
non and the men in charge got fright
ened, not knowing what moment the
gun would go off and kill everybody
around. Some climbed trees, others
fell on the ground and the rest took
picture and in that manner he intro
duced Rev. DIR. w. w. Wadsworth,
who in years past had done such
good work for prohibition.
DR.. Wadsworth said Jonesboro. Ca.
a town Of 1000 people had twenty-six
saloons. During their existence the
Jail was full of drunken men. Since
prohibition the grass has grown on
the path to the entrance and the only
man in that town who didn't like pro-
hibition was the jailor, who said it
stole his prisoners.
He also related conditions in Atlanta
the two years it had prohibition in
1883; that business men said it was
the best thing that ever happened to
the town. That trade conditions were
bettered; that scores Of families who
had been destitute because of whisky,
became self-supporting and prosper
Gus. but as soon as rum was voted in
again fell into the old rut 1t was a
mosterly effort and he was given a
grand reception at the close of his re-
marks. The tent was crowded with
people.
Rev. J. B. Culpepper said the Anti
Saloon League executive committee
had yielded to the pressure of temper
ence women to take an active part on
election day and they will be in evil
dence around the polls with songs,
prayers and coffee for every man in
town to vote dry. He commended the
spirit and said every woman who be-
lieved in temperance to be a live wire
in that days proceedings. . He has
poor opinion Of a man who would
change his vote from dry to wet be-
cause women, than none have a deep
err interest than she in the abolition
of the saloon, takes an open and active
stand for its suppression.
Mr.. Culpepper made lovely plea
for the man who sold liquor or was
engaged in the business He said he
loved all of them and it was only for
this love that he plead with them in
all kindness Of soul for their good and
not harm.

legislature in February, 1907.
81 am particularly impressed with
the substantial and metropolitan ap
p~earance of your city As we came in
from Tonopah last night, the vast sealr
circle of electric lights made me almost
imagine that we were catering Les
Angeles. Goldfieik~is a city instead of
a mere mining camp. 1t is built out or
a mesa, and not in a canyon, on a fec
tile soil, instead of a rock pile. As the
mines are developed, and water becomes
more plentiful, lawns, flowers and shade
trees will be almost as plentiful as in
Reno. 1t was my privilege, today, to
visit some of the mines of this district,
including the famous Mohawk, and I
feel more than ever convinced that
the will be producing good ore a cen
fury from today. The completion Of
the Consolidated, Florence and Chlorir
alton mills. with their combined eapae
ity of 1000 tons per day, will mark the
beginning of a new era in your mining
industry. Within a few years, | believe
that $40 ore can be mined at a profit.
In short you have a fine city, and rich
permanent mines to support it. 1t IS
the dream of the prospector, realized.

BELLEHELEN PROPERTY LOOKS
LIKE A COMING PRODUCER

A property within the Goldfeld
sphere of influence that is about to
come into fame is that of the Nevada
Bellehelen Mines company, which is
situated in the Bellehelen district and
has already been developed by a tunnel
335 feet in length.
There are twenty veins and stringers
exposed in the property and the lode
system can be traced for $500 feet.
These veins are from four inches to
four in thickness. The formation is
rhyolite and dacite and some of the as
says are up into the thousands. Plenty
of wood and water are available and
the property is being equipped with a
fine plant of machinery.

A new district some nine or ten miles
from Rawhide is now on the map and
from reports which have been coming
in during the past few days it promises
to make an excellent record for itself.
The district is called Utopia and a large
number of locations have been made
there. 1t is located about three miles
off the F'allou road and is quite easily
reached from Rawhide, the supply point.
There are at present about a dozen Il
fits prospecting there and from develop
ments already undergone something IS
likely to be heard from there before
long.
Its character consists of sehistose and
diabase. and men who are familiar with
il feel that it is a likely field for good
ore bodies. There is a contact vein that
can be traced on the surface for at least
a mile and a half, and paintings can be
taken from almost any part of its out

PROPOSITION DECLINED

Captain w. C.. Rose has made a very
f.attering offer, apparently, to the Gold
field Consolidated Mines company. He
agreed to reopen the workings of the
company shaft on the Jumbo and not
break any new ore, but be satisfied with
what he found in the Old workings.
Captain Rose has already shown that he
carefully works out all his propositions
before presenting them. His PROPOSE.
to the Consolidated company was re-

in the Jumbo workings have brought
down a large amount OF understandable
ore.
