VANDERBILT TRUSTEES REVOLT
They Refuse to Seat Members Chosen
at ASheville Conference,

Nashville, Tenn, June 17.-By a
vote OF 10 to 8, the board Of trus-
tees Of Vanderbilt University have
refused to recognize the three men
elected by the General Conferenc of
the Nj. =. Church, South, at the Ashe-
vile meeting to fiji the vacancies on
the board. The board of trustees
have elected the following eight
members, filling that body to its full
quota: Claude Waller, r. j. Jack
son and Bishop w. Il. Lumbuth,
Nashville; Bishop w. B. Murray,
Jackson, Miss; J. A. Robbins, Nc
Kenzie, Tenn; w. c. Ratcllffe, Little
Rock, Ark; II. w. Millsap, Jackson,
Miss; Allen Rockart, Louisville, Ky.
Following the vote refusing to
seat the conference-elected members,
Bishop 4. w. Wilson rendered his
resignation as member Of the
board, which was accepted, and the
vacancy filled along with the others.
by refusing to recognize the selec-
tions made by the Methodist Confer
ence, the board Of trustees put itself
on record as self-perpetuating
board. The board, at its meeting,
repealed a clause In the bylaws
which provided that elections to its
membership must be approved by the
general education board OF the Meth
odist church. In taking this step, the
majority Of the board claimed that
the clause had already been nullified
by the General conference through
the course pursued at the Asheville
meeting.
The gentlemen refused recognition
by the board Of trustees have not
intimated what course they expect to
pursue in the matter, but those Iii a
position TO possess information say
they would not be surprised TO see
the Institution Of mandamus pro-
ceedings to compel the BOARD Of trus-
tees to recognize as members those
men designated as such by the Gene
raj Conference.

Charleston, containing communi-
cation dated "Pendleton County.
Washington District, September rs,
1885, made by John Miller, CORE
spending secretary Of the "Franklin
or Republican Society of Pendleton
County" asking the publication of
the preamble and resolutions prepar-
ed by him for the society, and adopt-
ey by the several brigades at the
Governors review, denouncing the
treaty concluded in 1894 by Mr.. Jay
with England and expressive of
strong sympathy eth France. At
the request of George Washington,
Mr.. Jay resigned the Chief Justice
ship of the Supreme Court of the
United States to effect this treaty,
but 1t was bitterly denounced in the
United States Senate and in many
parts Of the country.
There Is memorandum in MIL
lers own handwriting, stating that
IN 1875 he had made proposals for
the publication Of newspaper, but
that the project had been postponed
until now that the rapid increase of
population in the back country had
rendered it practicable. There IS no
doubt that it was then he commenced
the publication of "Miller's Weekly
Messenger" but as the memorandum
Is without date. it Is impossible to
fix the precise date.
Died early in Century.
John Miller died in Pendleton in
1909 and was buried at the "Old
Stone church." He left behind hin,
many highly respected descendants
most OF whom reside in Anderson
county. His son, John, who assisted
him in the publication Of the Pen
dleton Messenger, had five sons and
as many daughters. One of these
sons was also named John, who re-
mt med IN this county and was the
father Of S. +. w. Miller and Dr..
Thaddcus Miller The other sons all
removed West. The daughters were:
Miss Jane Miller, who died at Pen

Anderson Woman Commits Suicide

Anderson, June 15.--Becoming de-
ranged, it is believed, as an effect of
pellagra, Mrs. j. e. Pilgrim, aged SIS
years, committed suicide this morn
ing by drinking lau' 'anum, and
jumping in a pond at the Pendleton
Cotton Mills. A week ago Mrs. Pill
grim inquired Of her husband where

wa" missed from home this morning
search was made and her body
was found in the spot declared to be
the deepest.
On the bank Of the pond nearby

An interesting papor rom the pen
OF Col. Il. A. Thompson, Of Walhal-
la. was to-day spread on the min
uteS OF the Press Association, Col.
Thompson himself being unable to
be present at the sessions Of the as
sociation. Col. Thompson is the sole
surviving siGner OF the South Caro-
lima Ordinance Of Secession. which
will lend an added interest TO his
paper, which is in itself Of interest
enough to command the attention of
all interested in events that have
gone before. The paper follows:
The PcndIcton Messengers.
The following interesting history
OF the Pendleton Messenger is taken
from Prof. Brackets "Old Stone
Chulch,' published by him in 1905:
Major A. T. Broyles, Of Pend!cton,
in compliance with the request Of the
editor Of the Anderson Journal, fur
nishod him biographical sketch of
John Miller, who, about the begin
ming OF the eighteenth century, pub
lishcd Miller's Weekly MESSENGER
the first newspaper ever published in
the district of Pendlcton. This pa
per he continued to publish until the
year lSOG. when its name was chang
ed to the Pendleton Messenger,
winch was afterwards so ably edited
by Dr. +. ID. Symmcs and Governor
Francis Burt.
John Miller was an Enslishman,
ana resident in the city Of London.
lie was one Of fifteen parties who
owned the London Evening Post, as
the account book OF that papcr
shows, and was connected with II
from 1869 to 1850. This account
DOOR, which was most neatly kept,
together with many other Interesting
manuscripts, have been kindly fur
niSh"i me for the purposes Of this
sketch by S. T.. w. Miller. his great
grandson. by whom they have been
carefully preserved. From this ac-
count book it appears to have been
the practice OF the partners to an
point committee Of their number
from time TO time to examine these
accounts, and in 1875 Henry Samp-
son Woodfall, the publisher Of the
celebrated Letters Of Junius, was one
OF the committee APPOINTED at that
time, showing that ne was also q
partner. The Letters Of Junius, how
ever. were published by WOodrall in
The Daily Advertiser The object of
these letters was to dcnounce official
corruption wherever it existed. who-
ther in the ministry, the Parliament
or the judiciary, and to hold it up to
the odium and oXecration of the Eng
iish people. The author, whoever he
was, was undoubtedly man Of splen-
did genius, and the boldness and in
trepidity with which he used his pol
lShed weapons, sparing neither rank
nor station, cannot fail to command
the admiration Of mankind. For
simplicity, force and elegance Of die
lloh theSe letters are unsurpassed by
any other compositions in our Ian
guage.

chalcocite ore common to the Miami mining district.
 The underground workings on the 300-foot level at present consist of five drifts and one raise, all-of which are in ore averaging 2.7 per cent copper. Drift No. 30S, being driven west, is 22l feet long. North drift No. 309 measures ninety.three feet. Drift No. 3l0 has been extended TO feet west. To the southward drift No. 3ll has been driven seventy-four feet. Drift No. 3l2, on which work was recently begun, is being driven east and meas ures twenty-four feet. The raise which is being put up at the functions of Drifts Nos. 306, 309 and BIO, measures approximately seventy.fve feet
 The lateral extent of the underground workings at the Live Oak mine are only in comparatively slight degree indicative of the great resources which this mine will, undoubtedly, in the course of time, develop The lateral workings weekly are adding new ton. nages to the known ore reserve and from all observations that can be made the Live Oak mine should ultimately prove to be a mammoth low grade prop, osition. By February l, the two StaI churn drills already ordered by the Live Oak Development company will bC on the ground and ready to begin drill ing. Drill work will be initiated west of the present proven ore body to en able the management to determine the lateral and vertical extent of the ore in that direction. It would not be al all surprising if the work of these drills prospeeted an underlying ore body of greater extent than even the mosi sanguine believers in the Live Oal property have anticipated.

INSPIRATION MAKES GOOD PROGRESS
 WITH DRILL
Underground Workings at Both Shafts Extended
 Continuously


 Two ehurn drills are continuing to prospect the Inspiration Copper com pany s property, south of the Scorpion shaft and west of the Joe Bush. The distance between the two shafts is 2,4OO feet in straight line, the Scor- pion being located northwest of the Joe Bush. The thoroughness with which this part of the property is being pros pected would seem to indicate con siderable extent of the ore body as the short distance of 200 feet is unneces- sary for the preliminary prospect drill ing The drilling that was done early last spring prospected the ground far ther to the southwest, with apparently less favorable results than those being obtained by the more recent work at the eastern part of the property lying adjacent to the Miami and Cordova prop critics.
 The underground workings, both from the Joe Bush and Scorpion shafts, are being extended continually. The cross cut from the Scorpion measures about 120 feet to the southward and is ex- pected to open soon the ore body which was SUNK lHTOuRH ny tHe shdll. Ac- cording to observations made of the dip of the body, the crosseutting from the 275-foot level should encounter the ore again at distance from the shaft of l20 feet. The management, how ever, does not feel absolutely confident of the continuation of the ore at this point, it being considered possible that this erosscut may be continued for q distance of 100 feet without entering the ore body. The roadway from the shaft to the new tunnel in Keystone Gulch is practically completed. The easy grade on which this road has been buili will permit of the heavy hauling nee essary to the equippng of the new plant at the portal of the tunnel. Two l00,horsepower boilers and one smaller one have arrived at the property and are to be in installed for use in the near future. The larger ones will be used at the tunnel site and the smaller one will be installed at the Joe Bush shaft, where the excavation is now in progress for it's installation.

ENCOURAGING WORK OF DEVELOPMENT
 ON CORDOVA
Slow Arrival of Tools De lays Beginning Work
 With Churns

The development work in progress on that part of the property of the Cor dova Copper company, located in the Miami mining district, is obtaining re- suits favorable to the future of the Eureka group on which most of the work is now being done.
 On the 475-foot level of the Su'liv"r shaft the main drift has been driven east for 412 feet During the past week work has been begun on a new drift which, up to date, has been driven northward for twenty-six feet. The face of this drift is in low grade chal- eocite ore. Considering results attain ed in development work in the past, the underground exploration of this part of the Cordoya property, as now being accomplished should eventually bring about encouraging results.
 The Star churn drill which has been on the Eureka group of claims for several weeks has been prevented from beginning it's work as planned by the unexpected failure of necessary tools to arrive. The drill is on the location chosen for the first hole, on the line between the Jennie and 0sceola claims. and near the Jennie shaft where ore of commercial grade was encountered n sinking to the present depth of l25 feet. This drill position is about lo0 feet from the line of the Inspiration Copper company property, WI te ehurn drills have already indicated an underlying ore body of great propor- tions. Indications are favorable for the development of large tonnages of sulphide, concentrating ore on the Cor dova property in the course of the drill work to be done within the next few months.

FORTY MEN PUSH WORK ON LIVE
 OAK MINES
Many Samples Assayed Run as High as 4 and 5 Per
 Cent in Copper

The Live Oak Development company
 is employing forty men in the work of out and developing its large ore body. All of the six working faces on the 3o0.foot level are in ore of the usual commercial value characteristic of the Live Oak mine. The underground workings now aggregate several hun dred feet and have developed an ore body of such dimensions that there can be no doubt as to the mine proving to be future payer of dividends. The ore being taken from the various drifts and raises in the course of development work is an excellent grade of sulphide concentrating ore, averaging over 2la per cent copper. Many of the samples assayed run as high as 1 and per cent copper and are ideal specimens of the

WARRIOR ENLARGES SHIPMENTS IF
 HIGH GRADE
Now Sending Eighty Tons of Ten Per Cent Ore Each
 Day to Ell Paso

The daily ore shipments from the Warrior Development company's prop. erty in the northern part of the Miami district have been increased by about five tons since week ago The orc shipped daily from this mine is now about eighty tons, averaging over ten per cent copper The entire ore body, chiefly chrysoeolla, measures over sixty feet in width at the depth of 250 and 300 feet from the surface where the ore is being stopped The advance work on the ROO foot level is in the same character of ore as that above.
 The expense of mining the ore iu the Warrior mine is comparatively light, the transportation to the railroad being the heaviest, as this is done by teams. The large stopes from which the ore is extracted through chutes of the train levels makes the handling of the ore possible at a minimum expense and the brittleness of this character of ote gives difficulty only in the pre- ventative measures required to avoid caving. This, however, is being so skillfully handled by the men in charge that no trouble has been experienced in preventing accidents. In some places, the square set timbering is required, but this is not necessary to such an ex- tent as to materially raise the working expense. By filling in behind the stop ing work, the mine is put in a safe con- dition.
 The churn drill now in action on the southern portion of the Warrior prop erty is putting down hole on the Long View claim and is expected to drill into the ore body al depth of five or six hundred feet. should the eontinua. ton of the large vein, so productive down to the three hundred level, prove to carry sulphide at the depth to which the drills will reach, this mine should become one of the largest future pro ducers of the district. Superintendent A. Bell has seventy.fiye men employed at the Warrior property.

Production for January May Exceed Half Million
 Pounds Copper
GOOD SHOWING IN
 LOWER LEVELS
Second Big Prescott Pump Should Begin Opera
 tions Today

X slight increase recently made in the ore supply for the Arizona. Conner cial shelter will, in all probability, make the output of fine copper for the month of January nearly 5OO.oOO pounds. Most of the ore for the smell ter is now being taken from the 600- foot level, but the fifth level IS also yielding we'll
 One of the most significant deyel- opments now being carried on at the Arizona Commercial mine is the explor. atory work on the two lower levels. The two winzes which are being put down from the sixth level between the Eureka and Black Hawk shafts are following the vein down at an angle of sixty three degrees and measure sey- enty-fve feet. From both of these winzes. ore of an average grade of seven per cent is being taken to aug. ment the daily smelter supply. One of these winzes in located about 500 feet from the Eureka shaft. The second winze is near the Black Hawk shaft.
 A second important development at depth in the Arizona Commercial mine win be initiated at once provided the putting in operation of the Preseo pump recently installed proves adequate fo keeping the seventh level free from water This pump has capacity for handling 1000 gallons of water mn ute. It is expected that this pump will begin working today, as all necessary nine connections were completed yester' dav In ease this Prescott pump works in a satisfactory manner and can sue cessfully cope with the flow Of water work will be begun on the erossci,ts already driven short distances north east and southwest from the vertical shaft. The northeast crosseut has al ready been driven ten feet. The cross cut running southwest IS about twenty feet long. At total distance Of hfty five feet from the shaft. the crosseuts make gradual turn toward the BiaeR Hawk vein. As soon as this vein IS op ened by these crosscuts at the foo foot level drifting on the ore in two directions will be commenced. Ihl' work should develop large and vaiu able now ore reserves in the Arlzona Commercial mine. The belief that tho lower levels Ot this mlhe "Ai greater amounts of ore than have hIth erto been developed is becoming gen eral.
 Assistant Manager John F. Pember thy of the Arizona Commercial Copper company is employing about 250 men in underground, surface and smeitei work. General Manager J. w. Bennie who makes his home at Clifton, Arizona came to Globe Friday evening and w'i spend few days here on business con nected with the eompany's interests.
