 It is said'the strike was made by & regular force of men engaged in taking out gold ore. The information was tci- egraphed to Hugh c. Brown of PhiId- delphia, manager of the company in con trol of the mine, and the latter in turn telegraphed to Professor Fleck, request ing him to make an assay. The assay is claimed to run S5 per cent pure, whereas the previous best record was 30 per cent pure.
 The mine is owned by Bishop Mat2 of Denver.

not been benefited is hardly borne out by the facts. This county has been benefited by the payment of $160,000 to it's citizens, for the lands included in the reservoir site. A portion of this money has been invested in Globe, or other points in Gila county, so that it cannot be said to be an entire loss to the county.
 '' 1t has also been greatly benefited by the expenditure of several million dollars within it's borders on the con struetion of the irrigation works, which expenditure must have greatly stimu. lated the trade of the town of Globe and of the farmers and others who have furnished supplies.
 '' The project has given an excell ent mountain road from Globe to Phoe nix, upon which it was formerly pro posed to eXpend large sums of money An expensive road into the Sierra An cha mountains has been built, making these accessible to the inhabitants of Gila county, and giving easy access to a large timber supply. The reservoir itself and the great dam soon to be completed will make an attractive re- sort which is certainly of some value to the county, while the proximity of the dam to Globe gives it the adyan- tage of the power developed at the dam should offers be made iuStifying the construction of transmission line to Globe and the delivery of power to that point.

 Chairman Pat Rose holds that little of the $l6O,O00 paid for inundated lands has been re-invested in this district, but that the bulk of the money has been invested elsewhere. The irriga ton work will not benefit Gila county to any extent, he holds and it is his further contention that this district has benefited very little from the construc- ton of the road to Phoenix or that to the Sierra Anchas, both of which were built to aid in the work of constructing the big reservoir.

Our remarks relative to the refusal
OF negroes in Georgia and elsewhere
to work seem to have aroused much
discussion, so much, in fact, that the
Rev. DIR. Bass, OF Mexia, Texas. made

mistake In believing that the oounti-
fuiness of the South. together with the
easy supply OF food obtained through
servants. Is responsible for the idleness
OF the negro. and assures us that the
saloon and negro free schools are re-
sponstbfe for All OF the trouble. DR..
Bass Is little rabid, we think, in his
statements, which ts not surprising,
In view of the fact that he lived for
some time at Cairo, H., but he Is not
alone in his opinion that book educa-
ton is responsible In a large measure
for much OF the criminality Of the ne
gro of to-day. 1t has repeatedly been
asserted that the ratio OF negroes in
the Alabama penitentiary who attend
ed Tuskegee to the entire number Of
graduates OF that institution Ia very
much larger than the proportion of all
negroes in that penitentiary Is to the
total negro population of the State.
We do not know whether this Is true
or not, but 1t has been given wide
publicity. and II might be worth while
to look into the matter. It is impossi- :
bic, we think. for education ever to be

The Hunters A-Coming.

Mr.. Roosevelt is hunter by nature. He has
the sporting blood in his veins and he does the
chase Not only so, but he loves big game. The
bigger and more ferocious the game the better
he is pleased. His teeth show the nature of the
man. President Taft has intimated that the most
delicious morsel he ever ate chunk of roast

hunt in the Southern wilderness several years ago.
he declared that the choicest meat he ate was
bear s liver Whether cooked or raw he did not
say, but bears liver was his choice. He may have
fondness for lions liver We do not know

and thicker and more strenuous in its flow, since
his late experience in the jungles of Africa.

To Induce Immigration.

Mississippi is planning q campaign in the inter-
ests of migration, and Governor Noel has con-
scented to call convention to start the movement
off. The pressed Statewide campaign is an ex-
tension of local campaign begun recently by
the Chamber of Commerce of Natehez, which has
already brought practical results The missionary
work will be done in the farming sections of the
Middle West and it is hoped to induce some of
the American-born farmers in that section who
have made in their operations to sell out
and seek more genial climate.
But without disparaging Mississippi what can
that State offer in the way of inducements that
Virginia cannot offer in greater degree2 We
have more agreeable climate than Mississippi, a
greater variety of SOIL better position with refer
encc to the markets of the world and certain
prestige which needs no boosting Commissioner
Koner says that everything under the sun, short

and no lands more susceptible to improvement
or more responsive to scientific cultivation.

Dominion is an attraction of itself We do not
need to advertise name, but we do need to adj
vertise our special advantages and our land bar
gains II Mississippi may have great expectations

so.
The Lynchburg Chamber of Commerce is engaged
in work similar to that which has been done at
Natchcz. The campaign is being conducted in
cooperation with the adjoining counties of Am
herst. Bedford and Campbell and we hear that the

Manchester's Vote.

The voters of Manchester will decide by their
ballots on Monday whether or not that city shall
be consolidated with Richmond.
There can be no doubht as to the result, but it
would be more agreeable all around if the vote
should practically unanimous. Why vote against
the proposals. Consolidation is logical and in
evitabie and it should come with good grace.
We respect all who honestly oppose the union, but
a Democratic government is a government of ma
Jorties and the majority is generally right.
The Virginian is convinced beyond peradventure
that consolidation under the proposed terms is
desirable for both cities and hopes that Man

mttee has authority TO deprive them of that
right. The ninth district committee wanted Henry
Stuart and probably reasoned that the only way
to get him was to take matters in their own hands

done in disregard of party law. We agree

Sport for spors.s sake.


In another column OF this issue APP
pears q letter from Professor II. v.
Kennedy relative to high school atm
letics. Professor Kennedy's plea Ia
mainly In the interest OF sport foi
sports sake. He believes in amateur
athletics, rather than professional
and argues in substance that school
and college teams should be composed
of members of their respective insti-
tutions.
The citixen believes that Mr.. Ken
nedy.s point Is well taken, especially
in the case of the high school. AS
-he -stateA In hia- lettex.-the members
of the high school are making heroic
efforts to maintain strictly amateur
teams in baseball and football and
while at the present time such steps
may not be attended with the bes,
results, as far as victories are con-
cerned. defeats under such circum-
stances are almost as creditable as
victory with professional or OUTSIDE
help. The acquisition of professionals
and non-members OF schools and COL
ieges cannot have a tendency to ros.
ter that which we call the college
spirit nor does 1t cultivate an ardent
love for Alma Mater. We believe
that the high school athletic teams
are fully deserving OF the support
and encouragement given by the bust
ness men and citizens of Ashevtffe.--
