l.. H. Bartholomew, who is running
a mine and mill in the MI. Grant dis
trics. has resumed his periodical trips
to Yerington, says the Yerington Mio-
err. During the early and middle part
of the summer MI. Bartholomew made
these trips every few days.. and he
always brought back with him a small
gold brick, the product of the two
stamp mill on his property.
A couple of monshs ago, following a
~cloudburst and landslide, the mill slid
down hill and he was forced to move
and erect it on higher ground, where u
would be safe from such catastrophies.
This las now been accomplished n
the mill is again grinding on the pro-
duet of his mine.
He states that the mine is now look
ing better than at any time IN Its MS
tory. The ore body which was opened
up in the intermediate drift, 80 feet
above the lower tunnel, has widened
out and is now 16 feet between walls.
1t was only six feet wide when first
struck, and in widening out the ore
still maintains its average values.
The whole 10 feet runs $40 per ton
in gold as it is broken down. Most OF
the values are saved on the plates,
and Nth a larger mill and more eco
nomical working the property could be
made to pay handsomely.

+ W. A. Redding, al old-tme grocery man of the camp is at st.
Z Mary IS hospital, N a very serious condition. He vas found about six

= When he W "a taken from the hole, he was found to be badly bruised
Z about the body and head. One Of his eyes is in very serious condition
: and will probably have to be removed. His pockets had been empied
: and n o money of any kind al found on him. The attending physi
, clan, Dr. Durham, is of the opinion that the injury to the eye "a

+ Redding, who is 60 years of age, IS unable to give a coherent state
, ment of what took place. He has repeatedly asked the question as
= 10 who pushed him into the hole, and from the fact that. his money
: had been taken from him it is believed that he was first assaulted and

MOUNT GRANT DISTRICT is
GETTING BACK INTO STRIDE

Ii is the intention of Mr.. Barthoio-
new to add at least five more stamps
to his mill and put in a cyanide plant,
which will treat 25 tons a day. He
wishes also to put in an assay Office
and bunk houses and get everything IN
shape to work steadily all winter.
Bartholomew has been working
against great odds for some time, but
it. is believed that with additional
he will be in a position to
prove that the Mt. Grant district has
at least one good paying mine.

CONSOLIDATED is
MAKING ENORMOUS OUTPUT

ELY. Oct. IL. - A mining man VINO
recently visited the Copper Pit of the
Nevada Consolidated was greatly sur
prised to learn hat since work was
started on the pit more than 100000
sons of ore and 100000 cubic yarls
of ~overburden have been taken from
this excavation. The pit is practically
1000 feet in length, 1900 feet wide
and 270 feet in depth.
Two shovels are working on ore
and three are employed in the remov-
al of overburden, which will within
three months have three 60-foot banks
of ore exposed in three terraces.
AT the New Liberty pit, which $
situated at a distance of probably q
900 feet from the Copper Pit, one SHOW
Ell is working on the stripping of over
burden. This ore body, while possibly
not averaging quite as high as the
Copper Flat, is admirably situated for
steam shovel operations. The work of
cutting through from the Copper Flat
to the Liberty is now in progress, and
when this connect ON has been made,
these excavations will resemble a
horseshoe in shape, with Copper Flat
occupying one side and the Liberty
the other side of tho shoe. Near che
Copper Flat side a zone of low-grade
material, possibly 200 feet in width,
must be passed through. This may be
worked with the ore or removed us
stripping. The ore body extends some
900 or 500 feet still further to the west
ward beyond the point where the Lib
erty Pit shovel is now working.
Of the three new 65-ton locomotives
recently ordered, one has arrived and
the other two are expected shortly,
which with twenty 1S-yard cars, also
ordered, will greatly facilitate the re-
moval of the o%verburden from each Of
the pits. 1t is expected that by April
next the new pit will be in condition
for production.
Six sections of the concentration are
now in commission and treating be-
tween 1000 and 5000 tom of ore daily.
Several improvements are being made
at the concentration, the most import
ant being the changing of the flow
sheet by the installation of an addi-
tional set of rolls, 15x36 inches. These
rolls will relieve the fine crushing de-
partment and increase the capacity of
the mill. 1t is also expected that the
change will result in an Improvement
in extraction and that there will be
less shining than if the ore is crushed
with Huntington and CHILEAN mills.
With these improvements in operation,
a possible increase in capacity of 800
tons per day IS looked for with six sec
tions in operation, but with the entire
plant in commission from 10000 to IL
900 tons of ore can easily be treated
per day.
1t is the intention of the manage
ment to shut down one unit OF the null
at a time, and while not operating to
overhaul that part thoroughly. At

RAWHIDE, Oct. 13. - The Phoenix
lease on the Coalition Queen estate IS
showing up something good on the 2S5-
foot level. They have cut their shoot
of ore there, and that it is pretty rich
is shown from the fact that it has CIV
en- assays as high as 800 per ton.
This shoot has shown all the way down
from the surface to the depth at pres
ent attained. They are thus gwen l3o
feet of backs to be stopped.
Eleven hundred and si%xty-nine ounc-
es of bullion were brought up from The
Queen mill today, the product OF this
lease, and there will be as much more,
or even a greater amount, brought up
from the same sources tomorrow from
the last Phoenix run.
Two shifts of men are steadily en-
ployed in the various ore shoots OF the
property.

A CASE OF SUICIDE.
So Says the COroner's Jury in Case of
Charley Poole.

At five o'clock Monday afternoon
Coroner Flowers empannelled a jury
and an inquest was held over the
body of Charley Poole, who died at
the Sumter Hotel at $3.50 Monday
afternoon. The following composed
the jury: p. B. Leonard, foreman; l..
w. Jenkins, A. E. Elliott, Sam New
man, A. r. Moore, H. A. Rafield, H.
c. Parrott, w. Jackson, j. C. Cop
er, Len Kennedy, w. T. Miller, j.
l.. Barrineau, F. o. Jennings.
The first witness was DR.. w. e.
Mills, who was called in to attend
the deceased. He testified that he
was called to see deceased at the Sum-
ter Hotel about $3.50 Monday morn
ing, May 2nd. He was suffering with
pains in stomach, shortness of breath
and severe vomiting. He stated that
between one and one and a half
hours before the doctors visit that
he had taken the entire contents Of
one bottle Of Deamans antiseptics
by dissolving them in a tumbler of
drinking water and then drinking
them.
He stated that he had been up
most Of the night on the hotel piaz-
"a, had made up his mind, expecting
1o al Joxc - I,.1y L.
or fifteen minutes. He refused to let
the physician do anything for him on
his first visit. His severe vomiting
at first brought on hemorrage from
the lungs, which lasted for some
time. He gradually weakened until
about $3.50 in the afternoon when he
died 1t is the opinion of the ply
sician that death was caused by pois-
oning by bichloride of mercury.
Mr.. D. K. Hagler testified that he
went driving with deceased on Sun
day, and to see his mother, and that
he was not under the influence of
liquor and seemed to be in good
spirits. Charley Poole told me-" he
said, that he had come back to
make up with his wife,"
Mr.. Poole and his wife have been
separated for about a year. 1t seems
that his health and the fact that he
was unable to perfect a reconciliation
with his wife preyed upon his mind
til he committed his rash act.
The jury's verdict was that he
| came to his death by taking bichlor-
die of mercury.

ONLY FOUR COMPLAINTS.
That Is the Record for Taxpayers for
Sumter Township.

From The Daily Item, May 3.
This reporter stated last week that
the County Board Of Equalization had
been hearing complaints all day Fri
day. Now as a matter of fact there
were but four who entered COM
plants against the raising of their
taxes by the township Board of AS
SCISSORS. Several came before the
boards, but when the matter was ex-
planned to them they were satisfied
and made no complaint.
1t is remarkable and further dem
onstrates that Sumter spirit of pull
ing together when such radical
changes as were made by the asses
sors met with but four kicks. 1t is
a fact that a great many kicks scame
from the country districts where the
property is returned much below the
city property. The city property is
returned at an average of SO per
cent. above the country property.
AZ tHe injecting yesterday CneTS
was a considerable raise in some of
the country property. Mayesville
township, or instance, was raised
about 40 per cent. 1t is still below
that Of Sumter township.
The county board has done a great
deal to help in the matter of equal
izing property by bringing up the rest
Of the county nearer to the standard
Of the city. At the next equalizin,;
four years from now there should be
no difficulty in getting all the prop
erty on an equal footing and let every
man carry his part of the burden of
the government.
A great deal has been said about
"taX-dodging," from the facts before
the board now it seems that the mat
ter was not so much the desire to
dodge taxes as the lack of informa-
ton as to how to make returns, a
standard, as it were. The fact that
the kicks We're so few bears this view
out.

FIGHTING MOSQUITOES.
Health Department Doing All That
Can Possibly Be Done to Prevent
Them Coming to Sumter.

Inc citizens Of the western part of
the city are petitioning City Council
to close up the ditch than runs from
Salem Ave-, through the DeLorme
property and out into Green Swamp.
That ditch is a breeding place for
mosquitoes and the little pests were
a nuisance in that vicinity last year.
The health department is doing all
that can be done with the equipment
to prevent a reoccurrence of the
mosquito pest this summer. The
health officer was out yesterday put
ting disinfectants in the low and stag
nant holes. In some places where
there was doubt as to the presence
of mosquitoes he sent the water off
for analysis, and where reports in
dicated that the larvae was present
he is giving his special attention.
1t is a hard matter for one man
with wheel and a helper on foot to
look after the premises in the city,
see tnat TIN cans are not allowed to
lie about and breed mosquitoes, and
then look after the low places. Think
of trying to eradicate MOSQUITOES
from Saratoga branch, Factory
branch, Green Swamp, Grier's Hun
dred, Calhoun street, Green street,
East Liberty street. Cemetery ditch,
Factory ditch, Hauser street, One
Mile branch, and the numerous other
bitches and mosquito breeding places
with the present equipment.
Sumter has an efficient health de-
partment, and is taking the lead in
the State in the matter of public
health. A little more equipment is
needed, though.

COSTIN CONTRIBUTES 500 MORE,
MAIN street Must Be Paved and All
Offenders Are Called Upon to
Help.

William Beauregard Costin was
tried before Recorder Hurst Tuesday
morning for transporting, storing and
selling whiskey and forked up 800
fine. This is the second offense of
Costin-the second time he has been
caught. 1t seems that a fine will not
break him, nothing but a chaingang
sentence.
There is suspended against Costin
a sentence Of three months or 800.
This sentence will become in force
now as soon as the matter is brought
to the attention of the Solicitor. The
sentence was lighter than il would
have heen if Costin had not wept so
and gotten the sympathy of the
court.
Chief Bradford told Costin Mon
day that he knew he was selling
whiskey and he could convict him
with negro testimony, but that he did
not like to convict a white man on
that kind of evidence.
Costin will very likely have to an
swer in the State court for selling
whiskey also, as the special commit
tee from the grand jury TO look into
the whiskey business here, know of
this, and they will likely make out a
case against him.

A MOST FIENDISH ACT.
ScOundrels Put Telephone Pole
Across Road Presumably for Auto
mObiliStS.

Monday night as a party were re-
turning from Whites Mill on bicycles
they came upon a telephone poll that
had been pulled across the road
about mile from the city limits,
on the best strip on the whole road.
The poll had but recently been put
In the road, for these same parties
passed down the road two OK wagons
going from the place where the OBJ
struction had been placed. There
was no evidence Of the wagons hav-
ing gone over the poll, or driving
around it. 1t had evidently been
placed there after the wagons got
past the place.
There was a fish fry at Whites
Mill, the participants going out in
automobiles. 1t was about time for
them to return and it is presumed
that the obstruction was placed in
the road for them.
The party or parties guilty of such
hellish acts are too mean to live and
too wicked to die. They should be
hunted down, however, and put in
Mr.. Pitts good road class for the re-
mainder of their lives. They are too
dangerous to be allowed to go at
large.

Traction Lines Coming.

Just how long it will be, cannot be
definitely surmised; but there is ev-
cry reason to believe that it is only
question of time and not very long
time at that, until the whole Pied
mont section will be covered with a
network Of traction lines that will
connect all the important towns.
This is the logic of the present
operations Of the Southern Power
Company. This company is now driv-
ing more than a hundred mills, and
furnishing the power for thousands
of smaller enterprises and that it
should take up the transportation
question is so natural that it Is hard
ly reasonable to look for anything
else.
Mr.. w. S. Lee, first vice president
of the Southern Power Company, was
in Yorkville this week on court busi-
ness, and while here, a representative
of The Enquirer had a pleasant talk
with him about things in general and
this transportation proposition, espe-
cially. Mr.. Lee was not talking for
publication, at all; but in response to
question as to whether Yorkville
would probably be included in the
proposed lines, gave out his general
view of the situation about like this:
"Of course, you can see from the
magnitude Of the investments of the
Southern Power Company, the COM
pany is looking to the future rather
than depending upon the present for
is not nearly sufficient to justify the
tremendous investment that is being
made. The country must develop
and the Southern Power Co. rec
ognizes that it must help in this de-
velopment, which it proposes to do.
Naturally, the first traction lines will
be between the larger towns and over
the most promising routes but work
once started will continue until all
the towns that are now connected by
power lines are connected by trolley
the rest. But, of course the power
company is not going to do all this
work alone. The general plan is to
make a partnership Of the enterprise
and ask the public to come in with
subscriptions of stock. The power
company would not feel warranted in
undertaking the whole work alone,
but prefers to have the local public
interested in exactly the same pro-
portion with itself"
Asked as to whether the Southern
to increase the rate it is asking for
power "D the expiration of the pres
cnt contracts, Mr.. Lee smiled good
naturedly, and remarked that the
company has adopted standard rates
for power and is selling to everybody
on exactly the same basis. He was
perfectly aware of a fear on the part
of the public that there might be an
attempt to squeeze somebody; but he
was rather amused at it than other
wise. Are we not Southern people
with You and Of you, and are we not
asking for your assistance ana sup
port just iitc we propose to give
YOU our assistance and support? d?
