Townsend had some very fine racing
Saturday and quite large crowd was
present to see a special match race be-
tween the two PAGERS, W. B. 2.174
owned by W. Harmon Reynolds and
Dan Wilkes III owned by George T.
Satterfeld, bnt Dan Wilkes won with
ease. Dan is well-knOwn in Smyrna
and Clayton aud was formerly owned
by G. F. GoOtee Monday, Feb. 10th,
Mr.. Satterfeld telephoned to Middle
town to the owners of fast horses to
save their best one until he got their,
and he arrived there in a very short
time with his black PAGER Wheeler
Murphey, and called for their best
horses and he won the races very easy.
They say the only difference in Wheeler
Murphey and a streak of tightening is
one is red and the other black. All
either town can say is SADLY has two
very fine horses.

reiterated by the poets and admitted

Two qualifications, we conceive, arc

EXPLORATIONS IN EGYPT.

The directors of tile EGYPT explola-
Square. Boston. Mass. are sending
out circulars asking for subscriptions,
to help D., MarNille and Mr.. Asrton to
excavatc at Abydus, aud to aid Mr..
Davis to publish inscriptions and
sculptures on tombs already eXcavatcd.
The Egypt Exploration Fund, Tie
circular informs ua, was founded lii
1882, and Incorporated iii 1883. Its OBJ
ject is to make explorations and ex
cavations in Egypt as a means Of
throwing light on its history, religion,
arts, literature, geography niamners
ana customs. With the exception Of
19oIS. expeditions have been sent
every season TO Egypt, consisting of
at least one party under the direction
of competent explorers, who include
such we'll known scholars and antique
aries as NJ. Edouard Navill and Prof
w. NJ. FLINDERS PetIie'
Among the important discoveries
made is that of one of the store-cities
Pthorn- Succoth, built by the Hebrews,
during the time Of their oppression in
Egypt. The exploration of the royal
tombs at Abydos is another achieve
ment. The annual contribution or
members is $500, while donation of
$500 makes ono patron and $4,000
d life-member
Egyptian explorations are among the
most important They bring the inves
tigator to the very cradle of Old World
civilization and throw light upon the
early history Of mankind. We have no
doubt that investigators viii finally,
be led to look for the beginning of
human civilization in the american

the soundness OF this suppositica.

Still. certain conditions have OBJ
tanned on account of the depression
that are favorable to mining opera
tions at the present time. Labor is

in many camps wages have been re-

the ability of mine owners TO give
employment and pay for the same,
while railroads are far from being as
eongested as they were during the
boom times of six or eight months
ago. and railroad companies are in
elined to be more reasonable in the
matter of freight charges.
In almost every mining section of
the west a revival of interest is being
felt in mining operations, and es-
pecially is this the case in the acquir-

this purpose is being freely furnished

is coming from the east, the investors
beginning to realize that money ex-

Horizon is Clearing
Rapidly Outlook
is Excellent for
Much Activity

The horizon OF the mining industry
clear after the late financial furry. In
midwinter mining in many localities
WAS virtually at "A standstill, owing to
the stringency in the money market
aud the attitude of the smelters in
their treatment of ore producers.
Now. however, the embargo on
money has been removed, and the
shelters are beginning to reach out
after ores on more reasonable terms,
the result being that ore shipments
are being quite largely resumed and
small shippers are enabled to begin
operations upon more energetic
scale. while big mining companies
who were virtually CLOSED down
during the slump are quietly adding
to their forces and increasing their
payrolls. improvements are also
being made and there is noticeable
increase In the demand for mine
equipment and milling machinery.
The decline in metal quotations
has also been a handicap to the min
ing operator, and every metal, with
the exception of gold. has been on the
toboggan slide, although II is
believed that the bottom has been
reached, and that renewed activity
along Industrial lines will soon see a
decided Improvement in the metal
market.
As it is only ores of the first-classs
order can be profitably handled under
present conditions. and this prohibits
the operation of low grade mines
which were working at a profit last
summer and during the early fall,

duction works SO that higher values
