Wind, Lightning, Hail and Rain Do
Considerable Damage.

: Last ISaturday night about ten
O'Clock, a heavy wind, accompanied by
the heaviest hail and rain that the
proverbial '.oldest inhabitant'' can
well recall struck Macon, coming from
the west by southwest. The electrical
display was not as heavy as that that
usually accompanied a genuine cyclone,
but a number of trees, some four feet
through, were twisted from their
stumps a mile or so southwest of town,
which would indicate that We barely
missed a catastrophe. Many believe
that the storm did not quite reach the
earth is the only eason the damage
was not more severe A portion of the
house of a MI. Jones, a farmer living
just opposite the Peterson placs was
blown away, ibut fortunately no one:.was
hurt. A barn on Mr.. .Brame's place was
blown down and umber of large oaks
and cypress trees were uprooted and
twisted off. A large barn of MI. Jno.
Morgan, one mile east of Macon was
leveled. In town a large number of
trees were blown down and consequent
ly the telephone and electric light
wires suffered considerably. A twelve
year old negro boy named Alfonzo
Beasley walked into a live wire in the
colored section of town, and he did not
find out what had happened to him un-
til II hours afterwards. The metal
awning in front of the law Office of At
torney Geo. Richardson was torn out
from the wall, doing considerable dam
age.
The storm, while not more than a
mile or two in width was reported as
far east as Bigpee Valley where there
was considerable hail. but not enough
of wind to do any damage.
The rain did not last more than fif-
teen minutes, but according to weather
clerk Carleton a half inch fell in that
time.

The South's Integrity.

The editorial printed below, clip
ped from al Texas paper, was brought
home by MI. Sam Bowen, veteran,
from the reunion at Mobile, last
week, and we publish it for him, by re-
quest:
The Kansas City Post recalls an
incident that occurred in the
United States Senate soon after
the Presidential election in 1850.
Senator VIM. II. Seward, Of New
York, was boasting that the Re
publican party was soon to come
into control of the Government,
that the party was composed OF
and controlled by NOrtherners
and that the "proud and naughty
South" was about to have its
scepter taken away from it. To
this boast a Southern Senator re-
Piled. He said: EDO not forget,
it can never be forgotten, it is
written on the brightest pages of
human history, that we, the slave
holders of the South, took our
country in her infancy, and after
ruling her sixty out Of seventy
years of her existence, we now
surrender her to you without one
stain upon her honor, bOundless
in wealth, incalculable in her
strength, the wonder and the ad-
miration of the world. Time will
show what you will do with her,
but no time will ever diminish our
glory or your responsibility"
The man who uttered these
words was Senator Jefferson Da-
Wis, of Mississippi, That he spoke
the truth all the word knows. In
the matter of ability, high-class
craftsmanship, patriotism, rug
ged honesty and stainless honor,
the Democratic South will gladly
compare the period when it ruled
at Washington with the period in
which the Republican party has
ruled. The Kansas City Post
says that Senator Davis remarks
were $50 palpably and undenia-
bly, true that no answer was at
tempted" and said: "It would
be hard to find in the entire North
a man SO intensely partisan in big
Republicanism as to assert that in
case a Southern Democrat were
elected President there would be
the slightest danger of scandal or
dishonesty in the public service.
Even the Northern papers con-
cede the absolute honesty and
high conception duty of the
Southerner when in office, and all
the world knows his ability to
handle questions of great pith and
moment in the realms of diploma
cy and upon the intented field"

these elect women, who give their
all from day to day for Christ.

PROJECT PLANT To
Use DRAPER SILICA
White Bricks and Bricks oil
Many Hues to be Made
for Utah.

Utilizing he enormous beds of silica
and fire clay, near Draper, a plant
with capacity for turning out 10000
bricks daily is to be constructed within
the next few months, provided plans of
financing the Draper Silica, Brick 6.
Clay company are carried out The
company owns I.400 acres Of ground
covering the deposits of silica, together
with rights TO a supply of water ample
Tor carrying on the contemplated man
utacturing operations.
The deposits are virtually inexhaustf-
bic, according TO E. NJ. West and Leon
ard Burch, who visited the ground yes
terday, and they are believed to be
among the most valuable in the coun-
try.
Their close proximity to a railroad and
to a rapidly growing city is an i'm
portant point in favor of their being
utlilzed to build up a great new indus
try
feature of the holdings is a large
deposit of pure silica, which makes
Drlek as white as milk. Bricks made
from IL have been subjected to a heat
or 225 degrees and submerged IL cold
water when at that heat without af-
fecting the bricks. The silica is al
ready in demand for lining smelter
furnaces, but the demand for that use
is necessarily limited.
Aside from the pure silica are other
grades, which, combined with the de-
posts of fire clay, make it possible to
manufacture bricks of II different col
ors and shades, all of very high quail
lty. Those who have seen the deposits
them are confident that when they are
properly utilized it will not be neces-
sary or desirable to use in Utah any
other than Utah-made bricks

UTAH METAL NOW
DRIVING TUNNEL
EnIarging Old Bore Complete,
Work of Driving is
Under Way.

Equipped for performing probably
the cheapest underground work ever
performed in Bingham, the Utah Metal
Mining company yesterday began work
in the face of the 3,000-foot tunnel
from Middle canyon, which is to be
driven 5000 feet further, to attain
depth of from 1900 feet to more than
1000 feet under the ore bodies on the
Bingham canyon side of the range.
Performing the work at exceptional
ly low cost is made possible by the
company's owning its own water DOW
er, which is utilized to develop electri-
cal power for driving all of its ma
chineTy. The compressor and the mo-
tors for electric service are driven by
Pelton wheels.
Since the company started active
We last fall its forces have been em-
pioyed installing the power plant and
other machinery, building new build
1ngs and charging the old tunnel to
SXlO feet At this time only two shifts
OF five men each are being worked in
the tunnel but with the arrival of the
electric locomotive and the motor to
operate the ventilating fan, three
shifts of seven men each will be en-
ployed upon that work, pushing the
tunnel at the rate of nearly 400 feet
a month.
Making allowance for unexpected de-
lays. it viii tVke about two years to
complete the tunnel, but 1T is more than
likely that important ore bodies will
be cgt long before the objective point
is reached, so that the wait will not be
SO long. for something doing" 1t Is
other large Bingham companies than
the one building it, as means of
transporting ores al low cost to the In
ternational cOmpany's smelter in Pine
canyon It viii reduce the distance
miles, with an easy down grade all the
way.

FINANCING PLAN
FOR bLACKHORSE
Amalgamated interests Are
Being Closed Out by Me-
vada Mines.

In the interest of a financing plan by
which it is expected to make active the
leading lode and placer mines of the
Blackhorse district, the properties of the
Amalgamated Nevada Mines g. Power
company are on April 16 to be sold at
sheriffs sale in Ely. New, to satisfy a
judgment for SloZ009 in favor of the Ne
the options upon properties including 80
lode claims, eight placer claims, ranch
lands and the water rights of several
streams which have their source in the
vicinity of Jeff Davis peak, was lent to
the Analgamated company by the Ne
Vada Mines company, which is a new
company formed by large interests in
Amalgamated.
The. foreclosure sale is presumed to be
the final act in Strengthening the finan-
cial tangle into which the affairs Of the
old company became involved. In regard
to the value of the properties, which the
new company will unquestionably take
over, there is no question. They include
the San Pedro mine, which has a consid-
cradle tonnage of high-grade gold milling
ore blocked out; the Mabel group, in
which was found some of the richest
ore ever taken from a Nevada mine, be-
sides other promising lode prospects,
richly productive, and rights to all the
water needed
Among the first things to be under
taken by the new company will be the
building of a quartz mill and the con-
structing of diverting works for utilizing
the water supply in milling and placer
mining.

Twelve Feet of High Grade in
Drift Running Toward
Miller Hill.

In a drift which is. being driven
toward Miller Hill ground from the
main tunnel of the Dutchman mine. has
been opened 12-fo0t face of ore which
runs from s125 to $3.50 ton, according
to advices from American Fork. For
what distance the ore body will remain
that size is, of course, pr0blematical,
but the showing is said to be one of
the best ever seen in that mine-which
has had several good showings of high
grade ore-and the lessees are prepar-
ing for heavy production as soon as
the canyon roads shall become pass
able.
The strike adds measureably to the
prospects of the Miller Hill property,
for the reason that the fissure which
is being followed is leading directly
toward the Miller line. It is in ground
which has never before been prospect
ed upon either side of the line, and it
is believed to be not unlikely that the
Knight people will do some exploring
on the same fissure In Miller Hill TO
see if similar ore bodies are not to be
found in their ground.
Mountain Dell and Pacific assures
are likewise trending toward Miller
Hill ground. from different directions
It is said, with the promise of some
interesting junctures in that vicinity
The Mountain Dell people have been
taking out considerable ore in connec-
ton with their winter development
work, with a good summer campaign
OF shipping assured.
