near BY. There are millions Of dol

on the mountain like a patch Of grass.
An aerial train will connect the mine
on the side of the mountain with the
station on the mountain opposite, and
will cross very deep canyon on the
way. Frank Mcclellan says he is GO
ing to ride in the buckets of the train
all summer.
a few interesting incidents are said
to have happened on the way, but as
to the truthfulness of the stories am
not in a position to make any state
ments.
Will Hatch states that while in a
hotel at Valdez the wind blew so hard
IN his room that he didn't have to
hang his clothes on the hooks at
night. He merely placed them against
the wall and the wind kept them in
the same position till morning.
Ills said that Os. King had a hair
raising experience with an enormous

day Os. grabbed hold of what he sup
posed to be an old root, but in reality
it was the ear of a bear in his den, and
when the bear came out on all fours
the way Os. hit the high spots to camp
wasn't slow. But the bear was a
slow goer and gave up in disgust.
However, VIM. McMinn asserts that
when Os. went by him his legs re-
sembled the spokes of a swiftly re-
volving bicycle wheel.
The occupants of a tent were startled
one night about IL O'Clock by some
one talking very loudly. Upon look
ing up imagine their surprise to see
Ralph Pierson standing in the middle
OF his bed with a loaf of bread in his
hand talking in his sleep. Said he,
Ten thousand dollars! Well, I guess
not; that nugget is worth twenty if it
is worth cent? He was real angry
when awakened because, he said, if we
had left him alone for another minute
he would have sold that loaf of bread
for twenty thousand dollars. I asked
him where he got the bread and he
said that he had slipped it into his
vest pocket at the supper table to
serve as a lunch on the following day.
The boys say that while sliding
down the mountain on a shovel the
shovel got so hot that it burned hole
in their trousers and Frank Nice lellan
says there was a blister somewhere,

MOTHER IS GONE.
1t Is Believed She Has Child for Which
 Father Is Suing.

Tuscumbia, July 12.-(Special J. Yesterday was ''get away" day for Mrs. Lizzie Eldredge, the former wife of John Woodall of this city, between whom there has been waging a bitter warfare for the possession of their 5- year-old son, and what concerns Wood all most Is the fact that she took the boy. Developments have come thick and fast in the case and as matters now stand the woman has all the best of it. Week before last Woodall was awarded the custody of the boy by Judge O. G. Simpson of the probate court, after the father had instituted habeas corpus proceedings to recover him from the mother, who had gained possession of him by a ruse.
 When the decision was rendered by Judge Simpson giving the child to his father, Mrs. Eldredge attacked the latter so viciously that the judge had ho confined in the jail for contempt of court and to avoid further violence on her part. Soon after the woman was liberated she again stole the boy though she denied any Knowledge of his whereabouts. Action was again brought by Woodall to make her re- turn the boy and the case was to have been heard this morning, but Mrs. Eldredge failed to appear and an in vestigation proved that she had van ished, 1t is believed, into Mississippi.

CROPS ARE GOOD.
Farmers Are Greatly Encouraged
 Around EufauIa.

Eufaula, July 12.-(SpeciaL)- )--Farm- CTS throughout this section feel much more encouraged over heir crop pros poets for the past 10 days. and some hopes are entertained that the yield of both corn and cotton may yet ex- ceed their expectations as compared with a month ago.
 In great many sections north of the city. where the rain fell almost necessarily for the period of six or eight weeks. literally drowning out many localities. q week of good, strong sunshine has prevailed, and the farm CTS have almost been able to clear out the grass. which has been predominat t. ing over the young cotton and corn.
 Conservative farmers from a dis tance of 26 miles above the city esti- mate safely upon two-thirds of a crop of cotton, with a better outlook for corn, whereas six weeks ago they were estimating about three bales to a blow.
 w. L. McGee, who resides at Baker Hill, 16 miles south of here, and who operates largely in farming interests, says the crops between this city and Dothan as a whole are excellent and the corn crop especially is the finest he has seen in the particular aastions in 26 years.
