HAVE APPOINTMENT
TO Meet HIM TOMORROW
Understood That Liberal inducements
Will Be Offered to Secure Line of
Road Into This City-Big Thing for
Hattiesburg.

President Jackson, of the CONNER
cial Club, has been notified that Presi-
dent Goodyear, of the Great Northern
railroad, will be in BOgaloosa, La,
tomorrow, and has expressed desire
to meet the committee recently ap-
pointed by Mr.. Jackson for the pur-
pose of offering the Great Northern
officials some inducements to bring a
branch line of that railroad into Hat
tesburg. This committee will leave
for Bogaloosa tonight for the purpose
mentioned.
Favorably Impressed.
Representatives of the Goodyear
syndicate have made several trips to
this city recently for the purpose of
interesting local citizens in this propo-
sition, and it is understood that they
have been given to understand that
Hattiesburg was ready to do anything
reasonable in order to secure this new
railroad. 1t is generally understood
that the committee will tender a do
nation of land for terminal facilities
and will offer other attractive induce
ments to President Goodyear.

an outlet in this direction, in fact
their actions have confirmed the be
lief that with little encouragement
line of their road can be brought tt
this city, and the Commercial Clut
committee, which will meet President

NEVADA CONSOLIDATED

Boston-Tne annual report of the Nevaaa Consolidated Co. TOT the pear enaed Sept 50. 1910. contains an item concerning which there has been more or less inquiry. This item refers to the 14,500.555 tons of 1.2S per cent ore developed during the l2 months covered by the report.
 The estimate Of ore reserves at the end of the proceeding fiscal year was 30 073. .000 of 1891 per cent ore and the inclusion of the ore develop ed during the year ended Sept. 30, 1910. brought the total reserves up to 44,573.555 of ore. but brought the average down to 1.76 per cent cop per.
 There arc those who have main tsined that the I4.5oo.000 tons de yeioped during the past year was too low in copper content to show a profit on 13-cent copper. Inquiry of official sources in regard to the in clusion of this low grade ore Into the reserves, brings forth the reply that these figures were those Of consulting engineer Pope Yeatman. They were made portion of the an- nual report first-because they were the actual results of the yehr's de- velopment work and it is the desire of the management to show every item exactly and completely as it is; second, this ore, while it would not ba considered as commercial ore. if the whole property were Of that grade. can still be extracted al a profit even with copper at 1S cents. provided that the extraction of tho rest of the ore body of higher grade had left all of the 1.2S per cent ore uncovered. as 1t some day will be. ready for shoveling into cars and requiring no fixed expeise for stripD- ing or otherwise. It is of course as sumed that all the equipment for the handling of this ore and the plant for Its reduction have been provided.
 Tn setting forth the information concerning newly. developed ore in the last annual report, the company might have stated-had it elected to alter the form of presenting the same fnformation-that at the close of the proceeding fisal year the total ore reseryes amounted to 30 900 900 tons Of 1891 per cent ore; that 1t extracted during the year 3,421.ooh tons of 215 per cent ore. leaving 26 500 900 tons of 1:s5 per cent ore: that during the year no new ore bodies Of that grade were discovered but 14,5oo,O0O tons. averaging FPS per cent were developed which i at some future date. when all un- covered should yield some profit to the company.
