which lay beyond.
The clue was there, however, and
under the pounding of power drills
the barrier was swiftly battered
down, and a marvellous storehouse of
golden wealth disclosed. Like fly
ing wedge it opened. Its boundaries
are yet unknown.
Now the stope is twelve feet wide.
Samples across its face give assays of
$1OS, $3.50 and $1140 and the entire
width will break good for 1925 per
ton. Returns on 107 tons just re-
ceived confirm these figures.
The drift on the 3OO-:oot level is
now being extended south to catch
the ore shoot on its downward pitch,
and that 1t is nearing it is indicated
by the $50 values which the breast
now shows. They still have $50 feet
to drive before the south sideline is
reached and there is every indica
ton that the ore may prove continu

Manhattan
pIdCgrS are
Making Good

Matt Kane, who is over from Man
haitian, tells a Bonanza writer that
the placers ct Manhattan are taking
up a great deal Of attention now,
there being something like twenty
shafts in the placer grounds now and
others are in prospect. The placer
territory begins in the draw just at
the western edge of the town, and
continues some four miles to the
junction of the Manhattan draw with
the Smoky valley. All of the shafts
which have reached bedrock are in
rich gravel, and Mr.. Kane says that
a conservative estimate of the value
of the auriferous gravel is So per
yard-some running higher and
some lower. There is no lack OF
water for washing, for as soon as the
detritus layer is penetrated and the
gravel beds reached, strong flow OF

are busy-so busy in fact that the
four mills at Manhattan are kept
busy. The leasers are all making
good money, as they are taking out
rock right along of high milling
values, and with no scarcity of it in
any quarter. The leasers and the
placer excitement combine to make
Manhattan a. lively camp now. and
there is no reason for not sharing in
the belief of Manhattan residents
that their camp will eventually prove
to be another one of the big, dividend

by John Donnellan and company, on

spreading in every direction with
each round of holes-up, down and
sideways, and it is believed that a
bonanza has been disclosed of such
startling proportions that it will rank
high among the greatest of those
which have made Goldfield famous.

MORE RICH ORE
ON GRUTT HILL

RAWHIDE, Jan. IA rich
seam of phenomenally rich ore has
been opened up during the past few
days by the Grutt Hill Truitt on the
estate of the Rawhide Coalition
Mines company. The seam comes to
the surface in the rear of the Daw-
son lot, corner of Nevada street and
Sunbeam court 1t is about six
inches wide and runs high in value.
Assays taken show gold, $1,759.60;
silver, $721.55; total, $2,4S1.15.
Men are at work now sinking on the
find and considerable of this high
picture rock is being sacked. The
seam seems to be widening little as
depth is attained, and it is likely that
quite handsome return will be
netted even from so small body.
About three and one-half feet
south from the rich seam another de-
post of about foot in width has
been uncovered An average sample
taken from this gives gold, $3.50;
silver, $21.10; total, 1880. This
deposit will also be explored and il

A reception was ten dered the bride and groom after which they left for the north to be gone until about September 1. MT. and Mrs. Hirsch will make their home in Bessemer.
 Deputy Sheriff Jones received a mes sage from Songo Mines this morning at about Il 30 o'clock requesting him to send an officer and Captain Doyle with his dogs. MT Jones at once dispatched an officer with Captain Doyle, who found that a negro had secured a Springfield rifle and was threatening the life of Su- perintendent Beck.

 Mark Rozelle was instantly killed at Bessie Mines this morning by the falling of someore. The body is being pre- pared for burial by Kennedy Bros. The young man is without family and the body will be held pending the arrival of relatives.
 President k. L. Edmundson has re- ceived numerous complaints from the people living out by the pipe works as to their not having the conveniences of the city and being unable to use the city schools. They request that he bring the matter up before the city council at the next meeting and endeavor to have the city limits extended. Should an cleo tion be desired the council will probably order one and take into the city limits the people living along Nineteenth street out by the pipe works.
 The Bessemer team will play the Boyles team tomorrow afternoon at o'clock on the Fourth avenue diamond. The base ball fever is at it's height in Bessemer at present and a large crowd Is expected to turn out to witness the game. Fanch- CT and Trotter will be the batteries for Bessemer.

Crops Are Promising.

The conservative, thinking mar will never again despair of some sort of aver age crop in Alabama. Thirty days ago every portion of the state. Rains had fal- and crops that had been planted were all most eaten up by grass and weeds. It made one almost weep with pity for the poor farmer as he looked from the car window on the desolate fields.
 But change came in the weather about three weeks ago. The rains became less frequent The farmers had chance to get into the fields. They worked early and late and rapidly. Every man, wom- an and child that could work was rushed to the field.
 Just enough rains fell from time to time to keep the crops growing and keep the lands from baking. The change has been marvellous. Corn and cotton seem to be racing with each other for new records in maturing. The corn crop is now about made and cotton is growing wonderfully. Cotton blooms are showing in many sections of the state and the weed Is developing we'll The fruitins as a rule promises to be sufficient for 6 good crop.
 It is true that hundreds of acres are idle on account of the inability of farm CTS to get them planted but the acres that have been planted and worked thoroughly will make up in part for the deficiency Since the heavy rains ceased many oi these abandoned acres have been planted in corn and other crops and will not be an entire loss.

 The small paper published at the coun- ty seat or the country hamlet Is close to the people. After theA weekly edition is out the editor sits with the boys at the grocery store or at the livery stable and hears all the issues of the day, as well as the current news discussed.
 His subscribers come in from the rural districts and tell him what the people are talking and thinking about at the cross roads and at the log rollings. This thought and these opinions find their way natural ly into the columns of his paper, and through this channel they reach the eyes of the editorial writers on the big papers
 1t Is the voice of the real people and the big writer needs every word of it.
 If you want to know the sentiment of the people. collect and divide the expres- sions of the small country papers and you have it.
 The smallest country paper in the coun- try has its influence and it's worth. It has its finger on the pulse of the people, Is part of the people and will never give way to the larger and more powerful papers.

 GENERAL NEWS OF BEssEMER.

Bessemer, July 14.-(Special.) )-This week has been marked by the begin ming of extensive Improvements and repairs by the large companies doing business in the Bessemer district The Republic Iron and Steel company will build modern hospital for the accom- modation of the men who work in the mines at Raimund. The hospital will be modern in every respect. The or ders for the equipment have already been given and the hospital will be in a condition to receive patients in a very short time. The company will also put in a new stack which will materially add to the output of the mines. The contract for the cement work has been secured by McPoland & O'Gara of this city and they are ad- vertising for men to do the work. The company is doing great deal of grading and is connecting the camp with Jonesboro by a direct road. It is also understood that new boilers are to be put in and new offices and barns to be built.
 The Sloss company is at work this week putting in two large engines to be used in pumping water from the mines. In order to do this it will be necessary to put down about 5000 feet of and 10-inch pipe which will take some time. It will also require some time to remove the engines from the cars and install them. The probable cost of the entire work will be about s20, 900.
 No. furnace at Robertstown was blown out last night preparatory to re- lining 1t. The iron maker <as burned through and it will be necessary to put in a new lining before another run can be made. This will make no ma terial difference in the pay roll as the work of putting in the lining requires almost as many men as when the fur mace is in full blast.
