DAISY SYNDICATE
GETS RICH ORE

The lid was lifted off the Daisy |
syndicate yesterday for represent
alive of the Tribune, who was
anxious to learn something about the
ore in sight and probable production
of the mine. Manager Mitchell and
Campbell acted as
guides. The examination disclosed a
splendid showing at the 300-foot
level that can not be questioned.
Here the dyke of mineralized ore has
been crosscut fifty feet, and sixteen
feet of the ore is pay. This vein has
been followed for distance of 400
feet, and the pay shoot has been
proven up for seventy-five feet. With
ore in the breast, it was decided to
upraise to the old 210-foot level,
where some very good ore has been
taken out, but, owing to the dan
gerous condition of the workings,
due to the swelling in the ground,
is now up fifty feet from the drift
level, and connections will be made
before many days, as three shifts are
engaged in the working. In this up
raise there is visible six feet of fine
looking quartz, and a streak three
inches wide along the footwall that
shows free gold. Assays were shown
on this streak of ore by Manager
Mitchell that went $11OO a ton from
an average sample of the streak.
Picked pieces of the rock would run
dollars a pound.
This upraise will connect with the
upper level on the same ore shoot.
| At the 4OO-foot level the dyke and
ore body are now being crosscut, and
values are in evidence for distance
of twenty-three feet. Considerable
water has been found, and the cleo
trio pump is kept busy for twelve
hours each day hosting at the rate Of
1870 gallons a minute. The same weir
and ore shoot that has been opened
in the upper levels has been found
here. and the ore assays about the
same as in the upper workings

FREDERICKSBURG GOES DRY.
In the local option election held there
Tuesday in vote of 700, the drys won
by majority of 81. The election was
the most remarkable ever held in that
city. For the past month the ministers
of the city have been preaching from
their pulpits strong temperance sermons.
the ladies organized local option asso-
citation and held regular prayer services,
adding to their number at each meeting.
The children-boys and girls-were
trained and drilled, and taught temper
ance songs, which they sang with vim
at the temperance meetings. Promi-
nent speakers from distance addressed
large indoor and -open-air meetings
during the campaign. Tuesday morn
ing at 5o'clock many prominent women
went out in the rain and attended
prayer service at one of the churches
nearest the polls. They influenced and
encouraged the men in their efforts in
behalf of the dry ticket. In this they
were aided by the children. Near the
voting precincts the ladies' served hot
coffee and lunch to all voters, wet and
dry. who would partake. The outcome
OF the election Yves awaited with the
keenest interest. When the result was
announced wave of enthusiasm swept
over the city. Parades were formed,
hages were waved, and the cheering
kept up for several hours.

wharf at Alexandria. An 18-month old
boy was drowned. Some passengers
jumped overheard, but were rescued.
The Trenton piled between Washington
and Potomac river points.
The earliest marine engines weighed
about ], 900 pounds per one horse power.
Recent improvements in the motors for
flying machines have resulted in motor
that weighs only three pounds per one
horse power. A little motor and pro-

VIRGINIA EDITORS
TO SPLURGE.
VIII Meet at Newport News and
Washington in July.
(Times-pispatch Tuesdav. }


The Executive Committee of the Vir-
ginla Press Association met at Murphy S
Hotel yesterday, and after considering
many invitations, decided to hold the
next annual session of the organization
in Newport News July 9th, 7th and 9Th,
and to go from there to Washington, d.
c., where three more days will be spent.
The meeting will be held at the Hotel
Warwick and the members of the Asso-
citation will be the guests of the Chamber
of Commerce of the seaside city, and
will be rendered banquet during the
proceedings. After remaining three
days in Newport News, the newspaper
men will go to Washington on a steamer
which has already been offered. During
their stay in the national capital they
Will be the guests of the Board of Trade
OF Washington. Interesting programs
Will be arranged and banquets will be
given in both cities. In Washington one
OF the principal addresses will be made
by Third Assistant Postmaster-Gen-
eral Lawshe, who will explain certain
changes recently made concerning the
handling of newspapers by his depart
ment.
One of the interesting features of the
stay of the editors in Newport News
will be Long Island clam bake, which
will doubtless be a revelation to the
dry-landers.
Among the unsuccessful contestants
Tor entertaining the editors was Hot
Springs, Va, which submitted most at
tractive inducements.
Members of the committee at the
meeting were: w. S. Copeland, of the
Newport News Times-Herald: John l..
Hart, of the Farmville Herald; R. P.
Barham. of the Petersburg Index-Ap-
peal; A. 5. Morton, of the Staunton

The past season in the oyster business
has been unique. The bulk trade in
Virginia has been down and out. The
North Carolina output has been fair
with good prices for stock. The New
Jersey business has been good. but
down on close margin. New York
and Connecticut have done a good bust
ness. Maryland has had plenty of
oysters. The Pure Food agitation has
interfered with all the shocking bust
ness. The National Association of
Oystermen of North America seems to
be the effective solution for the pro-
ducers' woes. Now oystermen, get to-

ment of the business.-The Oysterman.

offices are seldom or never aspir-
ed to by men really poor; they
are chosen only in four and six
years, and the evils of many cleo
tlons, SO disgusting to the rank

have primaries for two-year. or

A CARD.
In view of the sentence passed upon
me l feel that in justice to myself.
and to those whom / hold dear. that
some statement is necessary. In the
eyes of the public my plea of guilty
has been construed as confession of
the crime with which / have been
charged. l want to say that have
never made confession. My physical
and mental condition at the time hay-
ing been impaired by the influence of
liquor, renders it impossible for me to
say whether or not / was guilty. but
under my most binding and solemn
oath. in the sight of God and man. I
renounce ANY KNOWLEDGE OR
RECOLLECTION of that which tran
spired. Realizing that the evidence
against me was strong, that, outside of
this community public sentiment had
been moulded by various misleading
rumors, and that the cost and supense
of long trial would be great strain
on those of my family, 1 reluctantly
consented to the advice of my counsel,
knowing that they had agreed with
the Commonwealth lawyers on com.
promise verdict. While under the cir
cumstances l am unable to proclaim it,
l can in all truth say that was on the
best terms with the deceased, and SO
far as my knowledge of the terrible
crime is concerned, in thought, wore
and deed. / am an innocent man.
