Ely Record, August IA: W. q. Lack

neering corps Of the Ely old6eld Rail-
road, leaves to-day for Hamilton, where
he will putin . couple Of weeks invssti-
eating the mineral resources Of that sec-
ton. While there he will also 60 over An
telope Pass and investigate the feasibility
OF building the line via Hamilton. in
stead Of via White River and Currant
Greek, as the road IL now surveyed.
The line surveyed Is entirely satisfactory
a. regards grades. bat the tonnage 10
90 limited along the route between Ely
and Typo that the management 10 ap-
parently willing to 60 to the expense of
q survey by Hamilton. on account Of
the heavy tonnage offered from that
section, provided Mr.. Luckhsrdt makes
q favorable report.
Should IL be found advisable to change
the line OF the road, - suggested above.
IL would run within . little more than
30 miles Of Eureka. and . mach shorter
distance to the Windfall mine. From
the main line . spur could be thrown
into Eureka over . line already graded
for q distance Of 81 miles.
There are probably not two other
camps In the State showing greater
tonnage of ore In sight than Hamilton
and Eureka, and il the road goes that
way these camps will ct noe spring
into importance q shippers. Their
mines would also be opened mp and the
camps would spring into prominence ~

ADAMS HILL MINES SOLD
]. s. McQuillan Purchases the
Cyanide, West Cyanide, Auro
and Western Union

Last Saturday Alex Fraser and his
wife, Madeline Fraser. sold to J. 8. Nc
Quillan Of Tonopah o one-half interest
In the Auro, Cyanide and West Cyanide
mining claims. and q one-third interest
10 the Western Union mining claim. all
Of them situated on Adams Hill in Eu-
reka mining district.
1t is the intention of Mr.. McQuillan
and his partner, c. F. Wittenberg, who
owns q half interest in the above men-
toned claims. to in q short time either
timber the present within shaft on the
Cyanide mine, which Is 225 feet deep.
and sink il to o depth Of 800 feet, or to
sink Q new double compartment shaft
Axe to the same depth. and then run
drifts to develop the mine. Il is also
their intention ia the future to build a
mill to work the low grade quartz now
exposed in the mine by the extraction Of
the shipping ore.
The above mentioned mines have been
steady producers during the past 10
years. having produced q gross output
Of about $50, 900. and nearly SEQ. 900 has
been received from the smelters in set.
Elements for ores. Some Of the ores
shipped from these mines have assayed
as high as Is ounces in gold. 800 ounce
in silver and 90 per TENT lead.
The shipments during the past three
years have averaged about s125 per ton.
During most Of the time only two men
have worked in the mines. II is the
opinion Of experts who have examined
these mines that for the amount Of
development work done they make an
excellent showing.
These claims were virtually OF NJ
value until 1899, when Frank Quinn
and Frank Wittenberg sunk q shaft 100
feet deep through the shale in the fat
and ran a drift eastward to the lime,
where they struck q large body of rich
ore, which gave returns from the fur
naces of about $25. 900 in 10 months.
This ore was followed eastward q dis
lance of over 200 feet to within % feet
of the workings Of the old King Lear
mine, which shipped a large amount of
the same character Of ore from 1884 to
1886.
There is a small streak Of low grade
ore exposed in the workings Of the Auro
and King Lear mines. which is evidently
the connection between the King Lear
body Of ore and the Cyanide. and had it
been followed in 1884 would have dis.
covered the Auro-C Cyanide ore.
These mines are the connecting link
between the Silver Lick mines on the
west and the Macon City. Lone Pine.
Morning Star, Fraser aud Moline, Mar
guerite, Wide West. May Lode, Altoona
aud Barton to the eastward, a distance
in all of about 1000 feet by about 800 or
| 400 feet wide, and no shaft over $50 feet
in depth in the limestone. The above
named mines have yielded in the neigh.
borhood of $500. 900 in gold and silver,
the values in gold predominating.
The SENTINEL believes from what is
already known Of this Adams Hill sec.
ton that it opens up q fine field for the
investment Of capital. and we are glad
to learn that Messrs. McQuillan and
Wittenberg have ample means to thor.
oughly develop their properties there,
and to show their faith in that part OF
the district.

THE cOTToN CROP
There Has Been No Excess of Rain,
Temperature Averaged High.

New Orleans Picayune: The past
week has been a period of uncommonly
high temperature in good portion OF
the cotton belt, but particularly in Tex
as and the western section generally.
A maximum ranging from 100 degrees
up prevailed in many portions of Texas
for practically the entire week, and as
this heat was accompanied by absence
of rain there has been general appre-
hension that much damage has been
done to the crop. While some difference
OF opinion appears to prevail on this
point, it is generally admitted that un-
less rain is had in the near future, or
the temperatures moderates materially,
great injury will be done.
In the central and eastern sections OF
the belt the weather has been rather
more favorable to crop prospects. There
has been no excess of rain, and, al
though the temperatures has averaged
high, it has not been so severely felt as
in Texas. The hot, dry weather has not
been propitious to the spread of the
boil weeviI, and that pest, according tc
the government expert, is doing les
damage than had been expected.
The corn crop, which promised SC
we'll recently, continues to make steady
progress, and there is every prospec
that the South will share, in common
with the rest of the country, the bene
fits OF a phenomenal corn yield. Th'
tendency has been TO plant more corr
owing TO the high prices which fav'
prevailed for that cereal and the grea
demand for II throughout the eottol
section OF the South

CROP IMPROVEMENT
Reported in the Memphis Commercial
Appeal

In its weekly report of the cotton crop
condition the Memphis Commercial Ap-
peal says:
Excessively high temperatures pre-
vailed throughout the week except
along the Atlantic seaboard. The rain
fall was poorly distributed, some Sec
tions, as southern Georgia, getting an
excess, while other sections received
none at all. The cotton crop, however,
improved everywhere except in Texas
and Oklahoma In Arkansas the rain
fall was better distributed than else
where, altogether beneficial, and the
prospects of the State are good.
I'm Texas and southern and western
Oklahoma rain is badly needed. The
growth of thep liant and the frtiiting has
been arrested, and in central Texas
shedding has begun. The situation is
daily growing more serious. The hot
dry weather has, however, checked the
ravages of the boil weevil.
"The work of laying by thee rop is If
progress in all districts. Where the
plant is advanced enough to fruit, it i:

SIX DRUNKS
This Is Mondays Record in the City
Court.

There are many indications that the
law against the sale of intoxicants is
being disregarded with impunity in
Shreveport, and if this violation of the
law is not checked prohibition in
Shreveport will soon become a farce
enforced. This was Monday.
Before the City Court, Judge Fulli-
love, there were six drunks which led
the Judge to indulge in moral observa-
tions as we'll as in the expression of his
opinion as to the law, which is not being
enforced.
Who is responsible for these drunks /?
These are the only drunks which
have been located for the reason, per-
haps, that the victims had fallen by the
wayside or had become disorderly and
disturbed the peace.
1t is believed that some of the near
beer joints have become emboldened
since the Grand Jury reported only one
true bill where several were anticipated
by the saloon element.
AS matter of fact there were no
presentments before the Grand Jury for
selling intoxicants.
1t is alleged that these six drunks are
the victims of the blind tiger" or the
walking saloon and these should be
easy of reach by the police.
May be so, and may be not. 1t all
depends. At any rate, it is apparent
that some near-heer has a peculiar in
fluence on some persons, and such
drinks will only intensity the feeling
against the sale of intoxicants. Whether
it be through the blind tiger or the
walking saloon or the near-beer
agency.

THREE INGRAMS IN JAIL
Wyatt H., w. S. and Russell All Are
in the Parish Gaol.

Times Democrat: There are three
men of the name of Ingram now in the
Orleans parish prison-Wyatt Fl. In
gram, the accused forger and defaulter,
being the latest arrival. The other two
are w. S. Ingram, former secretary of
the Board of Health, and RusSell In
gram, negro, charged with assault and
robbery and who is being held for Tial
in higher court
Wyatt Ingram is one of the heartiest
eaters who has been confined in the
parish prison for years. He has not
missed meal since he was taken there.
In fact, the prison officials say that his
appetite was good from the start. This
is rather unusual among those Of the
upper classes" who have never been
in Jail before. Sometimes they sulk for
days and even weeks, but Ingram was
taken to the prison at 8 o'clock one
night, slept all right that night after
he got to bed late, and the next morning
he ate a hearty breakfast. Since then
his appetite seems to have increased
considerably. The prison fare apparent
ly agrees with him. -
Ingram has been living IN the board
ing department So far he has seen
neither of the other Tngrams in Jail.
Robert J. Maloney is neighbor of the
former banker, but SO far the two have
not had a meeting, although they were
acquainted before either of them had
been discovered or accused of work
that brought about his arrest.
All in all, Wyatt Ingram is good
prisoner and so far has given the
guards absolutely no trouble. During
the day he walks back and forth in his
cell on the second fcor and now and
then takes pencil and paper and fig-
ures while He retires early, and if
he awakens during the night the guards
on duty have never heard any indica-
tions that such was the case.

CITY HALL PLASTER.

Again it is the fail of the plaster from
off of the ceiling of the city hall. A
piece of plaster fell in the Office of the
Board of Health Monday morning at
an early hour. Experts have expressed
the opinion that the plaster is too heavy
and is lacking in sufficient adhesiveness
to stick. 1t is late in the day, SO to
speak, to discover this condition in the
plaster. In new building the cons
struction of which ranges in the ninety
thousand, the falling of the plaster
should have been made impossible.

P. B. S. PlNCHBAcK
Is Seeking an Office-Whites of West
chester Object.

A special to the New York Eagle
from Washington says: President Taft
has been asked to appoint ex-Lieutenant
Governor P. B. S. Pinchback of Louis
lana as deputy United States marshal in
Westchester County, New York. He
might do SO but for the strenuous and
even violent opposition to this plan be-
ing made by William Ward, National
committeeman from New York, and
other men of prominence. Wards OBJ
lection is based on the fact that Pinch
back is a negro, who has recently taken
up residence in New Rochelle, and
whose presence is objected to by his
white neighbors.
There is more back of this case than
appears on the surface. The negro Re-
publicans who supported Mr.. Taft in
the campaign last fall are very much
disturbed at the way they have been
ignored since March A. They say that
their loyal support of the Republican
ticket has had practically no recogni-
ton. Only one negro appointment has
been made by President Taft, and this
was an Insignificant little civil service
place in the customs service, not even
of presidential size.
There has been much grumbling
among the negroes in consequence OF
the scarcity of pie. Now they are max.
ing a big effort to land Pinchback in
Westchester County.

From Eros, La, is conveyed this in
teresting information: With a special
train the fremont and Gulf railroad
picked up quite number of farmers
Friday at the various stations and car
ried them to Chatham, where an enthu-
siastic meeting was held and steps taken
to organize truck growers association.
The fremont and Gulf people have
conducted small truck farm near
Chatham this season. They took a
piece of land cleared thirty-fve years
ago and considered worn out. This sea-
son they made $50 bushels of trich po-
tatoes to the acre and IS barrels of corn
per acre. Besides, they grew tomatoes,
beans and onions, all of which were
successfully grown. J. F. Hayam oi
Alexandra talked on the organization
of the truck growers association, show
ing its benefits, and was followed by
A. B. Mead, general passenger agent
of the fremont and Gulf, and others,
after which a committee was appointed
on permanent organization. They will
organize at Eros, Chatham and other
points along the line of road. Cotton rs
