United States Senator from his. lssippi
is welcomed by a large element in the
South as a victory for conservatism and
as a turn Of the tide from the radical

nominatinss candidates.

Mississippi IS probably the most demo-
cratic state in the Union, at least as
far as It's white population IS concerned
The 7rench doctrine Of equality is
insisted on 20 such an extent that the
house fas just passed a bill prohibiting
any Gr.ek letter fraternity in the Uni

because Z creates social distinction.
Turn IN the Tide.
LatterlyIthere has been a drift IN the
other direltion. toward greater conser-
vatism AMI toward men Of a higher
class THANH heretofore The election OF
Percy as senator Is the most marked
evidence of this tendency
Senator Percy is a man Of wealth,
College graduate, planter and the at

feated him in a State like Mississippi
A man of his type could not have been
elected there half a dozen years a-o IN

Looking to
The Mother Lode

Men who are well posted in mining
affairs are promising great activity
along the mother lode in the counties
tributary to Stockton and the future
looks encouraging for greater develop
ment throughout the mining region
which has made California famous for
more than half a century. When
spectators were rushing into the oil
fields in the belief that fortunes
awaited the inrushers. capital was
taken from the surer fields of quartz
mining and the leading counties east
of Stockton suffered for want of means
to develop the known good properties
awaiting men of means to handle
them. Now that the oil business has
been so generally absorbed by great
combi nations of capital, men of
smaller fortunes are again looking to
the mother lode and things are bright
err for the counties of the southern
mines belt.
Deep mining along the lode is pro-
fitable and men who know the fields
look for a boom in the sections where
deep shafts have uncovered paying
veins in Amador and deep works in
the Keystone and Eureka properties,
among others, have shown that the
great quartz assures are dividend pro-
ducers when their ores have been
reached on levels 1000 and more feet
from the surface and such mining is
no longer experimental. The South
Eureka, in Amador county, located be-
tween the famous Eureka and Ken
nedy properties, is to-day one of the
best paying properties in the state and
the development was made within the
past year by sinking deeper on the
vein. Following the mother lode
southwark it has been found that deep
mining pays in Calaveras, Tuolumne
and Mariposa counties, and everybody
knows the wonderful success of the
deep mines of Nevada county where
the vein matter bias been dug into at
depth of close to a mile from the
surface.
All along the great quartz zone
which made California famous as a
gold producer are many promising pro.
perties only awaiting plucky men with
means sufficient to get shafts down to
1000 or 5000 feet. Once capital is
turned from the risky oil belt to the
surer field of the mother lode and
California's gold story will be larger

The spruce forest of the Erzgebirge
mountains, supplying 2, 12S cubic feet

to lead in average yield. This land is
worth not more than $1.00 an acre for
ordinary farming or pasturage, but
gives a net annual profit of about
$500 an acre from the judicious thin

the conlferous forest of Besancon
gives a net income of about $1,000 an
acre. A young forest of 1850 acres on

between 1863 and 1878. is not only al

A curious insect visitation was late

A private house became so infested
with swarms of small beetle as to
be uninhabitable, and after sulphur

success in destroying the pest, the
premises were vacated until they could
be thoroughly cleansed. A consign-
ment of turmeric at a neighboring
warehouse was the breeding place CT
the insects. The turmerlc- about Is

injury caused to tobacco products.

been called for this afternoon, at
which time the severa! captains,

all necessary nozzles, wrenches,

is 81, 5775, f. o. b. Baker, Mont.
THE next move to be made by

be commenced at once. The men,
bers of the department will begin
practicing with this outfit at once
and thus prepare to take care Of
any fire that might break cut in
