WEST VIRGINIA NEIGHBORS.

Mason county, and the Washington
bottom, in Wood county, W. Va got
their names. Many suppose tQat the
Green bottom derived It's name from
the character Of its soil, which was
so fertile that the grasses and other
vegetation grew in such profuslon as
to render the lands unusually yerdant
in the spring time.
1t will be remembered that after
the government made extensive land
grants to many Of the Generals Of
the army. Accordingly the Green bot
tom was entered by Gen, Nathaniel
Green; Mercer bottom by General
Mercer, and Washington bottom by
General Washington. Hence all these
bottoms are the cognominals Of
those who originally owned them.
For many years the Green bottom

MAYER ALSO WANTS ID HOLD SPECIAL
 ELECTION
Test May be Made Be- tween "Wets'' And
 "Drys''
(FrOm Saturdays Dailyl

In speaking of the reported move ments toward establishing a "dry" zone along Big Bug to include his particular section, Joseph Mayer, who owns extensive commercial interests in the place that bears his name, says that the coming contest will be awaited with much interest.
 He says that a petition is being circulated to this end and speaks of it in the most pleasant manner. He desires the question to be settled, and says he will take no active part in the election if it is ordered and will pursue his business methods as usual
 AS to the qualifications of the voter in that section; however, MT. Mayer says he trusts the rule will prevail among the voters in that in stance that has been observed for over 25 years in the general elections he'd and that the boundaries estab- lished or the "dead lines" drawn, will include the old custom that has prevailed among those who practical ly call Mayer their home, but are at work in the hills nearby. Otherwise MT. Mayer expresses himself as in- different to any agitation or what may result from it.
 He speaks of the future of that district as of splendid possibilities and that many new and old mining enterprises are getting ready to be- come active. He is accompanied to the city by Lon D. Hall, who is iden- tified with mining enterprises in that field.

OPERATIONS WILL BE
 RESUMED ON WIZARD

After lying dormant for several years, work will be resumed on the Wizard group, composed of the Wiz ard, Lucky Cuss, Contention, Yankee
 Boy and Grand Central, all patented claims
 Operations will be conducted by the San Jose Consolidated Gold Mining and Milling company, an Iowa cor, poration, which owns also a valuable gold mine, located in Calaveras eoun- ty, California.
 The Wizard group is located in the heart of the Big Bug district, twenty miles southeast from Prescott and seven miles from the Humboldt custom shelter. The Poland branch of the Prescott < Eastern railroad crosses its lands. In grading the roadbed of this railroad, a hill on the Wizard mine had to be cut through to a depth of forty feet for several hundred feet and a fourteen foot ledge of ore showing values from $7 to $25 per ton was en- cOuntered.
 The vein on which the Wizard group is located is a very strong Assure, extending through a number of other claims and can be traced for several miles. The greatest con eentration of values appears to cen ter in the Wizard mine, as far as eroppings show, the Wizard claim covering the central portion of the vein.
 Owing to the value of the Wizard claim. it will be recalled that it was the cause of fierce litigation a few years ago between the prospectors and the Providence Mining and Mill ing company. The supreme court of the United States rendered a decision against the company and in favor of the prospeetors.
 The San Jose Consolidated Gold | Mining and Milling company is capi- talized for $5OO,OOO. The company is of business and professional men of Dubuque, Ia., some of whom nave other large mining interests. The mines will be operated under he active management of MT. J. J. sanders of Prescott, who is one of he stockholders.
