Result Of the visit of Men who
caused Sensation In
-. Cuff city.

That gum-shoe spoilers" OF liquor
sales have found their way from Mo-
bile to Montgomery, Is the latest gos-
sip In prohibition as well as anti-pro-
hibition circles. The rumor Is, In a
way, Intangible as but few have as
yet spotted the supposed spotter. but
II is told that the chief of the special
detectives, who operated in Mobile. Is
the Montgomery visitor. and those In
terested in the prohibition question
look for early denouements.
The prohibition detectives worked
with fair success in Mobile. so far as
arrests show. nearly two score alleged
vio1ators being served with warrants
sworn out by spoilers. Convictions,
cases, as yet, as acauittals and post
ponements have marked the most OF
them.
: one of the Mobile detectives. j. C.
Burke, otherwise known as John Brew
err, was declared ito have been a for
mer convict at Pratt Mines. from which
place. he was said to have been pa
rolled.
Burke. It Is told. left Mobile over
night, and In time to thwart war
rant sworn out against him.
But 1t is not Burke who is In Mont
gomery, the rumor goes, but one of
the less, Swallowed shadowers.
Whether the spotter comes in re
Spouse to a call from focal prohibition
forces, or whether he works as free
lance, Is not conjectured by those who
tell Of his presence.
The advent Of the professional spot
ter has been expected for weeks in
Montgomery, as most OF the larger
cities which have tried prohibition have
been infested with the special detec-
tives. who unearth the illegal sales.
But so far. 1t y known. there have
been none OF the spoilers In Montgom-
cry, or at least. not before Saturday.
when the detective from Mobile Is
supposed to have reached the Capital
City.
But there are many who tell that
he, or they. is here, and they look for
things to happen fast and furious from
this good day--that is. in case Mont
gomery harbors any violators of the
prohibition law. There are some ru-
mors who say 1t does. others are. not
SO sure.
But the scooter, so goes the rumor.
is here to find for himself and to prove.
by his evidence, that prohibition Is
either prohibiting or Is not carrying
out the purpose for which 1t is in.

About four years ago l had occasion
to use this remedy and it did me so
much good that whenever 1 have felt
out of sorts since. l have appealed to
it and have never failed to receive re-

days my back would become sore and
lame that 1 could scarcely straighten.

The City Rock Breaker.

The rock breaker ordered by the city
from Knight 4 Co.. of Suffer Greek,
for the crushing of rock for street pur-
poses, has been completed, and ready
for delivery. 1t is understood that the
machine will be brought here shortly,
and stored IN one of the sheds at the
Anita mine until the city authorities are
ready to install it, 1t will be put up at
the Anita dump, where there is large
quantity of rock for street work-enough
ii is said to last for several years.
Considerable work, however, is neces-
sary in preparing solid foundation be-
fore it can be put in operation, 1t is Of
the stationary type and is not intended
to be moved from place to place after
the fashion of the county rock breaker.
1t is hardly likely that the machine will
start crushing rock before spring.

Big Post Office Business

Judging from the post office receipts,
the present Christmas season has been
an unusually prosperous one for the
people of Jackson. For the last three
days Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day-the receipts from the sale Of
stamps alone amounted to over $1,000,
"Wednesday was the banner day, when
the receipts footed up $45, against S32
for the corresponding day last year.
Yesterday six extra pouches of mail
matter were sent from this post office.
And the post Office is perhaps the most
accurate index of the general business.
Its receipts rise and fall in sympathy
with financial conditions of the general
public.

took all the books of the State Miners
Union with him, the only thing left be-
hind being the seal of the organization.
Mr. Wallace stated that the books we're
taken so that his reports could be made

MINING NOTES.

Mitchell. AT this mine, situated near
Pine Grove, four men are at work put
ting up the say mill recently arrived
from San Francisco. AS soon as this is
in running order they will start it in
saving the necessary lumber for gallows
frame for new hoist and also for
buildings to be erected on the property.
The new owners are starting operations
as though they proposed to work in a
business like way in the development of
this promising mine. 1t is the
opinion of those in position to Judge
that the mine will respond generously
to systematic development
Whitmore. A gentleman named
Charles Brown is operating this quartz
mine near Volcano. 1t is proposed to
run tunnel long distance to tap the
ledge. The ore body is claimed to be
from eight to sixteen feet wide, and of
paying grade. Six men are employed,
and payday comes every two weeks, an
innovation in mine management which
is thoroughly appreciated by all the en-
ployes
South Eureka. This mine is paying a
dividend of two cents per share per
month. AS there are AGO., 900 shares,
the dividend amounts to $4,000 per
month. The milling capacity is 40
stamps, which are kept going steadily,
twenty stamps of its own mill and
twenty stamps of the Central Eureka.
The output of the mill is reported to be
more than equal to this distribution to
the stockholders.
Amador Queen. Geo. Hambric and
partners have quit working on a por-
ton of the Amador Queen ground in
Murphys gulch, upon which they have
been operating for over a year on shar-
ing basis with the owner. They had
reached a point in the development
where it would be necessary to eXpend
considerable in the erection of
machinery TO prosecute mining to advan
tage, and they concluded that it was in
advisable to 60 to that expense on leased
ground, and therefore declined to enter
into another agreement.
]. r. Meskimon and brother B. S.
Meskimon arrived in this city last
Wednesday from Reno, Nevada. They
leased the Stillwagon mine in the Fairplay
district, and will Immediately put
small force of men at work getting
things in shape with the intention of
working the property to full capacity in
the early spring. The Stillwagon is
one of the very few refractory ore
mines in this county, Outfit with
which the mine is equipped has
not been able to save the full values.
The new owners of the property are
familiar with conditions, however, and
are sanguine that they will make a
success in working the mine. Nugget
