GOOD ATTENDANCE
 BY PRESBYTERIANS

Despite the indictment weather of the last two days the institute and train ing school courses which are being held by Presbyterians in the First Presby- terian church are being well attended. Practically every church of this denom- ination in the district has been rep resented in the afternoon sessions, while the meetings held in the various churches in the evenings have served to attract large audiences.
 Last nights meetings were especial ly interesting, the audiences taking a decided interest in the subjects under discussion Dr. A. O. Browne spoke al the Bessemer church, the Rev. Frank Marston and Judge S. D. Weakley at Ensley, w. c. Smith and the Rev. w. J. Caldwell at the South Highlands church, and the Rev. G. O. Bachman and Miss Minnie Allen at the First Presbyterian church.
 Miss Minnie Allen handled the sub ject. Child Study" at the afternoon session at the First church, while Dr. Browne spoke on Junior Classes and the Rev. Bachman on The Prepara tion Needed" These sessions last from until o'clock, and are in the nature of a general discussion, the entire class taking part.
 At this afternoons session Miss AL len will continue the discussion of Child Study" Miss McCrea will talk on Primary Work" and the Rev. Bachman will tell about the Teaching of the Class"
 The programme for the various churches will be W. c. Smith and Judge Weakley at the First Presbyterian, the Rev. Bachman and the Rev. Marston at the South Highlands and Dr. Browne at Ensley. There will be no meeting at Bessemer.
 The institute will close tomorrow night with a central meeting at the First church to be addressed by the Rev. John w. Stagg. pastor of that church, and Dr. A. O. Browne and the Rev. George O. Bachman.
 In selecting the churches in which to hold the night services. the commit tee had in mind te idea of places most convenient to the greatest number, and their selection has proven a wise one, judging by the attendance on the vari- ous meetings.

Flrsf Female Onducto1
 POckefed All IHe Fares

Miss Belle Reisling took up fares on South Bessemer car yesterday after noon and the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company didn't get the money.
 Miss Belle put the cash in her little pocketbook and didn't care a rap that every one saw her do it.
 She is little girl, years old, the daughter of Mrs. R. B. Reisling. and it is probable that some genial gentle man put her up to the trick. At any rate, after the conductor had taken the company's share of the receipts, and had rung up every fare, including transfers, Miss Belle got to her feet.
 She gravely extended her hand to the first gentleman she passed, and received a dime. The next, the next, and the

CITY'S BIG SEWER
 BEGINS NEXT WEEK

Next week dirt will be broken in the beginning of laying one of the most com plete sewerage systems in the south.
 The first work will be in the construc- tion of the sanitary sewer beginning on the western side of the city, and perme- ating the entire residence section. As will be begun.
 This sewerage system, considered the greatest in the south, and which has at- tracted the attention of engineers in every section of the country, will be constructed on the money obtained from the disposal of $3000OO worth of municipal bonds.
 The beginning of this work will be an epoch-malxing date for Birmingham.

COUNCIL MAY OPEN
 NOW FAMOUS BOX

While no date has been set, it is cer- tain that the city democratic committee will meet in adjourned session either Monday or Tuesday night of next week.
 This meeting of the committee will be held for the purpose of establishing some basis on which the city council can act next Wednesday night.
 As the matter now stands without ad- ditional light thrown on the case, the city council has no other alternative than to elect Asa L. Hoyt. whose certificate of nomination is in the hands of the city council. At the last meeting of the coun- ci an effort to elect MT. Hoyt would have been made but for the request of Attorney Kerr, MT. Hoyts lawyer.
 The understanding is that at the next meeting of the committee the contestant A. A. Gambill, will endeavor to prove by witnesses that fraud was committed in the Third ward election. In case he succeeds it is evident that motion will be made that the committee reconsider it's determination not to open the box
 After the meeting of the committee the council will know whether to pass again the election of Hoyt, or whether to take up the matter of the contest itself.
 In case it comes to a show down the interesting question in municipal circles at the present time is-
 twill the city council open that box of much notoriety"
 With the Burnett majority of the city council favoring the election of MT. Gam bill it is generally believed that in case the matter does come to a show down the city council will open that box of much notoriety.

Tribune, in revising "The Thief which Charles Frohman will present here at the Jefferson next Monday night, says: "Ths subject one of supreme importance to so- ciety. is the love existent between mar ried persons; the persons. that is to say. by whom society is mainly constituted and sustained. The development of the plot is remarkably adroit, creating anx- ious suspense and maintaining nnbroken interest"

next contributed. At this time, every one was laughing, for the clever little miss overlooked no passenger and positively refused. when one requested to give any change. Finally. her task completed, Miss Belle returned to her seat well pleased, no doubt, for the last seen of the first female conductor known to Birmingham, she. wore a broad smile on her face and was still roguishly shaking her head.
 And the passengers were well pleased. too. for they smiled good humoredly for several moments after the disappearance of the little girl. And the conductor had no objection, himself, for it would have been exceed ingly rude to disturb the little mis- chief maker in her frolicsome humor.

 To Carry 1t Up Shades Mountain.

Dr. R. A. Berry and associates on Shades mountain are determined to carry the street car line which will enter Shades valley all the way to the top of the noun tain.

In fact, pr. Berry says that the line is to be built, if he has to build it himself.

NEVADA'S MINERAL

the Silver State. 1t promises during
the present year to outstrip California as
a gold producer and to give Colorado a
hard run for the premier position among
the list of states yielding the precious
yellow metal.
It's marvellous wealth is just beginning
to be revealed. Discoveries of new
mineralized districts, in which gold is
the chief metal exposed, are following
one another with marvellous rapidity.
Communities housed in modern habita-
lions. provided with all modern public
utilities, are springing into existence
with mushroom like rapidity in re-
gions where nothing but the coyote, the
desert owl and the round squirrel were
a short time ago in sole possession.
What will naturally follow in the wake
of the first processes of development is
the utilization of such few water sources
as 1t naturally possesses and the arti-
fetal creation of means of conservation
of the rainfall on its watersheds, which
has hitherto been allowed to run waste,
and training them both on the arid land
so that the desert will in reality bloom
like the rose.
In half a dozen years some of the
richest mining camps the Pacific coast
has known within the past forty years
have been opened. and. as the recent
developments in the Rawhide district
indicate. the states wonderful mineral
resources are only just beginning to be
unfolded.-Oakland ribune.

nicknamed the Sagebrush state because
of it's apparent agricultural poverty ana
the predominant vegetation covering its
hills and valleys. When the Comstocks

Now, a new chapter opens In the STORY
of these surface ores, or which the
gnomes of the lower levels have lost
their grip. Many an old Comstocker
who drank gallons of ice water to quench
an unending thirst caused by the heat OF
the lower levels and to furnish a supply
for the perspiration that ran in stream
let's down his half-nude body now is
numbered in the Great Beyond, never
knowing the treasures that he made the
earth disgorge in his search for bo-
nanzas. The first heavy siege is ended
and now with no dread of the terrible
giant powder headache or of deadly gas,
the old Comstockers' successors can
with a pick and shovel send 1t to the
mills.
The Yellow Jacket dumps extend for
half a mile from the mouth of the SHAFT.
At the end a plant is being erected which
will contain 20 Kinkead grinders or
mills, zach capable of crushing 10 tons
of ore a day. After leaving these grind
ers, the ore will pass over 80 Johnston
Concentrations waiting to receive 1T on
the floor below. The Yellow Jacket
dumps have been sampled in their en-
tirety and nave been found to average
over SO to the ton. When 1t is consid-
cred that parts of this imposing pile OF
rock will not be milled at all, you may
realize that large masses of it must run
in high values.
On the Comstock today these scrap
ings of bonanza times are scattered
around. They are the pickings for those
who nave come after the big honanzas.
They are the crumbs from the rich mems
tables. Those who pick them do not
care to follow new strikes for they have
found that this waste. these scrapings,
these crumbs, are little bonanzas In
themselves. They are not going to for
gest the best.-James V. Comerford in
