10Y Hospitality of Antioch People.

Laurin declared that it was good
for the people to come together and
listen to the speeches so that they
could the better choose their repres-
entative in the National law making
assembly. He stated that he had
known Senator Percy for some time,
both at home and at Washington.
declaring that the better that Mr..
Percy was known the more he was
loved. He said that with Mr.. Percy
in the United States Senate, the in
terests of our state were we'll attend
ed to, Senators Williams and Percy
working in harmony Saying that
he did not wish to take up Senator
Percy's time, he would close his Re
marks. and asked that Senator Percy
be given an attentive hearing.
Senator Percy's Speech.
Senator Percy began his address
by saying that he was glad to be
among the people whom the late
Senator McLaurin had served SO
long and so faithfully. He paid a
glowing tribute to the man whose
mantle had fallen on his shoulders.
The speaker said that he was pleas
ed to see so many ladies present,
declaring that what little good the
men of Mississippi had done had
been prompted by the influence of
the good women.
NJ r.percy referred 10 the now fa-
nous campaign words red necks"
and ''cattle", saying that be never
used these words in beginning an
address, though One OF Mr.. varda-
mans speakers had done so. This
term of '.red necks", said he. origi-
mated with one of Mr.. Vardaman's
leaders on the floor OF the state
senate. Saying that he had been
misquoted by the state press. Sena-
tor Percy denied having used this
word in his speech at Godbold last
summer, and quoted his exact words
on that occasion.
Mr.. Percy said that he would be
glad to be present on this occasion
even if he was not a candidate. That
he wished to know the people whom
he had the honor to serve.

amount, even though the number
o fprisonerS had decreased. In 1910
the Federal pension roll amounted
to Si59,00C,000 per year. Thirty-one
per cent of all the national revenue
goes to pension the old soldiers. The
Federal government was not only
pensiOning the old soldiers, but their
fathers, widows and small children,
the number OF Ihese on roll being
$4,000. All were pensioned, rich
and poor, sick and we'll, alike. These
facts Senator Percy presented in his
speech on the floor of the United
States Senate, protesting against an
increase in the pension appropria-
tion. The bill was defeated.
Mr.. Percy next told of his part in
the fight against the Sulloway
amendment as attached to the bill
for the election of United States
Senators by direct vote. The Sullo-
way amendment provided that the
Federal government should have
control Of the election of United
States Senator's. Mr.. Percy told Of
the speech he made against the pas
sing Of the bill with this amendment
attacked. He pointed out the dam
ger "a, it held for the south. say
ing that we do not want an extern
sion of Federal power in our cleo
tions. 1t meant that the Negro vote
would be east and counted. He de-
clared that Federal interference
would destroy our government, pro-
gress and prosperity. Mr.. Percy
dwelt for some time on the dangers
of this amendment.
The speaker next discussed at
length the negro problem in the
south. He declared that Governor
Vardamans agitation of the negro
question at this time was not only
useless but positively harmful.
That il was useless to expect the
north TO aid us in solving this prob
lem. We have the negro out of poll
tics at the present time, he declared,
and he will be kept out so long as
the white man So desire. To take
this question to the north would be
folly, for to repeal the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments a con-
stitutional convention would have
10 be called, and in this convention
that there was never a more inaus-
picious time for the adjutation OF
this question than at present; that
the south would go with thirteen
states against -forty-two. Mr.. Percy
denied that he had said there was
no negro problem. There is, and
a great one. but Mississippians must
rely upon their own manhood to
handle the question. He declared
we are on great wave of pros
perity which unwise adjutation Of
this question would check.
The speaker mentioned some of
the incidents of the senatorial cam
paign and scored Vardaman rather
saverely for refusing to meet him
in joint debate. He promised that
If elected to another term in the SEN
ate he would give his best service
to the people of the state. Anc
closed by thanking the audience
for attention.
Senator Percy spoke for about
Two hours and was accorded an at
entive hearing by his audience
hroughout with the exception OF
anrsts Of applause. No interruption
occurred. His address was well re-
ceived and doubtless gained for
him many votes.

MINES WIN A GAME.

Sundays ball game between the
Denver Tramway team and the Gilpin
Mines. although poorly played, was
entertaining from the amusement the
many errors made by both teams
caused the spectators. At the outset
it looked like the Denver team would
put it all over the Mines. They made
six runs in the first inning. hitting
Parsons at will. But the Mines con-
nected with the Denver pitcher and
throughout the game the ball twir,ers
were batted right and left. Two star
catches were made during the game
one by Ray Parsons and the other
by Rupp Of the visitors. The Tram.
way boys conceded defeat in the
seventh inning and the game was
called off. The score was 10 to II
in favor Of the Mines. Next Sunday
the Russell team will come to Cen
tral to play the Mines. Russell has q
pretty good team this year and may
put one over on the Central boys.

RICH NINE WILL AGAIN POUR
OUT FABULOUS wEALrH-sIx
OUNCE ORE.

In the 1400 foot level Of the To.
peka, in the upraise being made to
tnsL 1900, some very high grade ore
has been struck. The smelling streak,
which in places is fully 1S inches in
width, assays 5.65 ounces in gold and
2.70 ounces in silver The raise has
been in good ore all the way up from
the 1400. 1t is expected that the two
levels will be connected by the 25th
OF this month. In the raise the mill
dirt is from three to five feet in
width, running around $1O.5O to the
ton. This strike is the best made in
the Topeka since the rich gold
pocket Of ten years ago.
The shaft in the Topeka was sunk
re,ently to depth Of 1900 feet and
at this point levels are now being
driven east and west. Within the
next few days it is expected that the
Leavenworth junction will be en-
countered on the east, as the forma-
ton of the ground now indicates
that this vein is near. In the 1900
west the level will be extended un-
der the body Of rich ore exposed
UP in the 1900 and 14oO levels.
Leasers in the Topeka are making
good money. Last week, a pool in
the 600 east shipped quantity Of
smelling ore that went ounces to
the ton. ThereNis six inches Of the
iron and two and one-half feet Of the
mill dirt.
The first of the month the Topeka
will resume the heavy shipments reg
ularly maintained before output ceas-
ed to per nit Of the shaft being sunk.
1t will require the entire capacity
Of the Iron City mill tq handle the
output of the Topeka, when the mine
commences to ship.

HARSH MACHINERY READY.

Electrical machinery was placed on
the Harsh property last week and is
in readiness for the current as soon
as the transformers arrive. These are
expected this week. The machinery
installed Is the most modern and
up-todate procurable. 1t was neces.
sary to extend the power line from
the Calhoun mine, 1900 feet distant
from the Harsh.
Miners have made good progress
in sinking the shaft. which is now
down 85 feet. Drifts are being run
untir the machinery is connected with
the power lines, then sinking will be
resumed.
In sinking the shaft a good look
ing grade of ore was taken out and
there are now 80 tons Of this on
the plats. ready for shipping to the
Iron City mill. The tram extends
within 400 feet Of the Harsh and II
will be necessary to haul the ore
this distance in wagons. Manager
Most expects to make ARRANGEMENTS
with the c. G s. to run a spur from
the main tram line to the property.

EASTERN VISITORS HERE.

Mr.. and Mrs. D. L. Smith and son
Daniel, Of Chicago. L. B. Newly
Indianapolis, and B. Gordon Bryan, O
Toronto. Canada, we're visitors tc
the county Monday and Tuesday Of
this week. They made the trip fol
the purpose Of inspecting the Rails
County mine, both for their own In,
formation and satisfaction and that Of
parties In the east whom they rep
resented.
Monday afternoon the party went
to the property end went down into
the workings. They were shown all
through the Rails and we're we'll
pleased with the splendid showing as
we'll as with the development that is
being pursued. They saw extensive
ore bodies exposed in various parts
OF the underground workings and
were very favorably impressed with
the propositions generally. The visit
ors left for the east yesterday feel
ing confident that the statements
made about the mine and the pros
poets OF early dividends were not ex-
aggerated and could be readily veri-
fled.
The visit Of the easterners, though
brief. was very pleasant socially. Mas
ter Daniel made friends without ef-
fort and before his departure was
en- quite intimate terms with the
burros that roam the
streets. Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Newly
expect to return during the latter
part Of July with others interested in

FRoNrENAc-ADuDoELL MINES.

large body OF ore 10 being open
ed up in the 700 of the Frontenac.
This is directly under the shoot
where former operators, Harker and
Williams, took out a big bunch OF
money. For 1000 feet in length the
shoot shows in the bottom of the
700. A winze has been sunk at about
the center of the shoot which shows
a crevice from five to seven feet
wide, running from $500 to $500
a ton.
The Aduddell, the other mine op-
Grated by the Frontenac Consolidat.
ed company, is looking particularly
good and is supplying half OF the ore
that is put through the Frontenac
mill. Most Of the ore treated from
this mine is stope filling and that
taken out in development. Not much
ore is beirg broken in the Aduddell
but heavy development is being car
ried on.
The Frontenac mill is making a
record for itself, both In the qdan
tity Of stuff handled and the results
obtained. Last month s6S tons of con
centrates were shipped from the
plant. This month the mill will put
through little better than 200 tons
Of crude ore per day. Last month the
crude ore from the Frontenac and
Aduddell. put through the mill
amounted to $3.50 tons. This month
the crude ore handled will amount
to between 5000 and 1000 tons and
1t is estimated that the mill will shiI
in excess Of 1000 tons Of concen
trates.
