SCHWAb IS AFTER
 BEA7SON BONANZA

Beatson's famous mine on Latouche island may soon be sold to interests represented by Charles M. Schwab. the ex-steel trust president who tried to break the bank at Monte Carlo. Schwab's expert made gumshoe visit to the mine short time ago and is said to have reported 1000, ,OOO tons of copper ore in sight without boring any farther into the hill to see how much is still out of sight.
 This news is brought by Capt. Me- Gilvray of the steamer Bertha. A. K. Beatson went out month ago and negotiations are now pending for the sale of the property If the deal falls through Mir. Beatson will install a modern machinery plant and oper- ate the mine hereafter on a vast scale. If the Schwab interests buy it the mine will as a matter of course be operated to the limit. So it seems certain now that the famous property will henceforth have an enormous output.
 Heretofore Mir. BeatsOn has worked the mine on modest scale because the low grade ore could not be ship ped at profit. Only the high grade ore is shipped and huge dump has been made of the low grade. He felt that the ore was safe in the ground and there was no need of getting rid of it in hurry.
 Mir. BeatsOn owns one-fifth of the mine and the estate of his late cousin, Andrew Robertson of New York, the remainder.
 What The Bees Earned Last Year
 Three hundred billion bees made enough honey last year to fill train of cars long enough to reach from New York to Buffalo. At the low wholesale rate of 10 cents a poun, it was worth $25, ,OOO ,OOO, and if the 7OO,- 900 bee keepers of the country had worked as industriously and skillfully as did the bees the weight of the out put would have been three times as great and the value $75,OOO, ,O0O Not only did the little workers contribute that vast supply of pure and delici- ous food product to the nation, but as they made it they treated it anti ceptically with formic acid, thus pre- venting impurities or decay.

According to his testimony Blick
said he was notified of the Brming-

urday before. On the night Of the
raid he and Burnett Phelps crossed
the Tennessee river on the ferry and
brought across 81 members of the
Lyon county night riders. The lodges
met at Tom McCane's mill and went
to the negro settlement, where the
victims were secured, and were taken
to IN river bank, where the whipping
took place. Blick said that Fred Hol-

ing him on the ground and then maxi

Arthur Griffin. who was held a

that their actions would be watched,
and in the course Of thirty, sixty or
ninety days a return visit would be
paid. He also ordered them to leave

IT is little use for the local edi-
 tor to waste his lungs and sprain his spine in trying to boom a town when the citizens all stand around with their hands in their pockets and indifferently wait for something to turn up. If the capitalists or business men do not put their shoulders to the wheel and do a little boosting it is useless for the editor to tr Y to boom things. He can write "boom" articles till he gets bald headed, but if the citizens them- selves do not take hold and push, the town will forever stick in the mud. Of what use is it for the local paper to suggest improve ments and new enterprises if the suggestions are never acted up- on? One man cannot boom a town. It requires the concerted action of the citizens. When one man shoulders a town and attempts to carry it there are
 always a lot of cranky kickers ready to j ump on top of the load. Unity of action is what knocks.
