and dressed his wounds, finding bad
bruises on the head and a laceration
on the neck. The fact that the horse
was without shoes probably saved Mr..
Kurth from fatal injuries.

Mill Engine Ran Away.

By the breaking of a governor belt the big mill engine, at the mill of the Arizona Gold Mines company, ran away last Sunday evening, completely wrecking large part of the machin- cry. The engine was torn from its concrete bed, the two big fly wheels were crashed through the building and the cam shaft bully wrecked. The accident occurred while the engineer was out of the mill attending to other duties. It will take two months to re- pair all the damage, which is estimat- ed at 6,OOOS. The mill is one of the most modern in the territory and was erected with gre at care. All the foun- dations are solid concrete and the plant is entirely automatic in its work ings. The loss that the company will sustain by the closing of the mill is beyond estimate.

dations are solid concrete and the plant is entirely automatic in its work ings. The loss that the company will sustain by the closing of the mill is beyond estimate.
 Superintendent O. B. Amsden, of the Goldbug mining company, is put ting that property in first class shape. The main shaft now has reached a depth of $40 feet. It was found at the 290 level that the vein was standing vertical and raise was cut through to the vertical shaft at the 140 level. This shaft was timbered up and is now the main working shaft on the prop erty. It is the intention of the con- panp to carry the shaft down to the 300 level, where it is thought an abundance of water will be found. So far no water has deen encountered. At the 29O level the drifts have been run off in fine body of ore for dis tance of 100 feet. The average of the ore for the width of the drift GA inches) is over POS gold. The vein was cross cut at this point, also, and shows the same general character of ore for the whole width of ten feet. Through the mass are found high values in the stringers, but the company is looking for big body of medium grade ore suitable for milling. With plenty of water for milling purposes the mine is sure to be winner.
 Ten or twelve mill men went out to Goldroad this week to begin work on the big mill of the Gold Road M. & E. company The old mill has been torn out to allow of the erection of the new plant and all grading and concrete work has already been completed. The work of erecting the mill will not take over sixty days Instead of the great tanks for cyaniding the company is building two immense iron tanks through which the solutions will pass automatically with the pulp, which will be agitated throughout its passage down the big pipes to the point of dis charge at the bottom. The new mill is to be one of the most modern in the United States, and the saving in val ues and cost of extraction will be inn mense.
 Electricians, wire men and line men are now at work in and around the big power plant, wiring up the place and putting in the transformers. The poles are being framed and gotten ready for setting, which work will be commenced in short time. It is eA- pected to have the plant ready to transmit the juice to Goldroad within the next forty days. All pipe connec- tions have been made throughout the plant and the boilers will be tried out in few days.

Milking Cotton Cloth.

Birmingham Ledger.
William whitman. the cotton, mill
expert of Massachusetts, says that the
United States Is destined to lead in
cotton manufactures of the finest kinds.
A plant costing 81. 600, 900 is now under
way a New Bedford. intended to make
the finest fabrics of both cotton and
silk.
The Ledger believes that the drift of
cotton manufacture will be towards
the South. For years the coarser
grades of cloth have been made in the
South, and there has been a constant
advance to the finer grades.
It may be that the finest grades will
be made in the Massachusetts mills for
years to come, but it is inevitable that
the mills win be brought to the cotton
instead of the cotton to the mills. We
have seen this drift for years. 1t
cannot be overlooked by any one who
travels over the South at all.
There Is no reason why the finer
grades shall he made in France, or
England, or New England. than in South
Carolina. or Alabama. True, the labor
is not here. but 1t can be brought here,
then 1t can be developed here. We
Southerners do not like long hours and
exact labor, we do not submit mildly
to the discipline required. but we will
come to 1t, and will be the better for
1t.
Upper Alabama, with its superb wa
ter power. should be the center of the
finer cotton industry.

ABOUT WOMEN's HATS.

Under the somewhat contemptuous
heading. Millions for Coal scuttles,"
The st. Louis Post Dispatch sayeth
Milliners in convention at ST. Louis
say that the women of the Mississippi
Valley spend $60,000,000 annually for
hats. This tremendous fact should be
considered with due sobriety by those
who would uplift the race. Were Mr..
Roosevelt with us he might evolve a
solemn message from this text and in
his absence another may tremendously
attack II.
Yes. If Roosevelt were here he might
even make it an occasion for a special
message to Congress. but happily he is
not here, so that inhiction is spared
the country. And as to that matter,
why need newspaper man worry over
it. even II the figures given are cor
rect? Some people like to deal in big
figures, and all must admit that sixty
million dollars would make quite
pile. At the same time we must admit
that the area of country comprised In
what is sometimes hazily spoken of as
the Mississippi Valley" covers much
territory and contains many millions
of people. If all the women residing
in the territory mentioned should buy
hats in even moderate numbers and at
really reasonable prices, the total
might run up to the sum mentioned.
And If the estimate above given is
correct the natural question would be,
What are you going to do about it?
Women must wear hats. must they
not? And they will wear just such as
they choose and can buy, VIII they not?
But Notwithstanding the dictum of
Constable Dogberry that comparisons
are odorous," The Post Dispatch must
make a few. THE sum-" 1t says, lis
thrice that which Illinois proposes
spending for its beginning of deep
waterway from the Lakes to the Gulf;
it is six times the sum Prof. Pick ering
needs to build his mirror system for

It would defray the expense Of forty
