New Strikes Made
In Several PiocIlc Mines

While the Bristol district has come
to the front this week with num-
Der of new strikes, the Virginia
sodaut,d, and even the Prince Con-
soaad1eu, and even the Prince Con-
soliadted itself, have reported some
most important developments.
In the former, a slreak CT high

nigh as 1000 ounces in islver to the

Within the next few days alton

sutPHiDE ZONE Is
STRUCK IN FRINGE MIN

The new deve opment in the rince
Consolidated mine this week is the To-
cation Of the sulphied zone of the
mine which has been located by dia-
mond drills at depth Of $40 feet be
low the 500-foot level; CT $40 fset
from the collar Of the shaft. At tn,
point stated, he drill entered a mass
Of iron sulphides containing satistao-
tory values in gold, silver and lead.
The fact that the drilling was done
midway between the main ore bodies
developed on the upper levels, cause
a good deal of elation among Prince
Conso idated officials.
Because of shortage of miners,
the shipments from the Prince have
not been quite up to average this
week; however, at least thirty-five
cars were dispatched from the mine
and about fifty from the Bullionville
tailings dump.

HOW A CAliENTITE
VIEWS co. SEAT CHANGE

II Phoebe and Caliente, instead OF
seeking the county seat, would ap-
point committees to have different
mining companies put up smelter at
Caliente, which would mean thou
sands of dollars spent monthly in the
county, would seem wiser than to
cause friends to become enemies and
stir up a political fight that will
take years to overcome. No ma ter
which sled would be successful, and
to great many it doesn't matter
where the county seat is, for when
they are called on jury duty they are
looking out for the mileage, and a
thousand miles would make no differ
ence.

Committee.

The Middle Tennessee High School
Athletic Association was organized
here Saturday at the Bethel House
With W. P. Morton, of the Co.
lumbia High School, as president,
and Prof. w. G. Johnson, of Hay-Long
1t Mt Pleasant, as secretary.
The following schools were repre-,
sented either by direct representative
or by proxy: Mooresville, Mclean
School at Lewisburg, Lincoln County
high School at Fayetteville, Law.
renee County High School at Law
renceburg, Hay-Long School at Mt.
Pleasant, and Columbia High School.
A committee on rules and bylaws
was appointed, composed of Prof.
John W. Williams, of Fayetteville;
Prof. C. c. Beasley, of Mooresville.
and Prof. Summers, of Lewisburg.
1t is the purpose Of the organiza-
ton to organize the high schools of
the Middle section of the state into
an association for the promotion of
good, clean athletics, and thus hold in
the high schools much of the material
that Is drifting into the private
schools on account of the athletic
spirit that is at present found in
them.
This has been matter of serious
consideration by the faculties OF the
Lawrenceburg, Mt. Pleasant and Co
lumbia, and perhaps other schools,
for some time and the organization
would have been affected earlier in
the winter but for the extremely Nm.
pleasant weather for the pas. six
weeks.
It will be seen that the organiza.
ton starts off with six members, and
this Is to be augmented at an carly
day by others as some Of the mem.
bers have assurance from friends In
other schools.

held, subject to the call of the chair.

SHARP DECLINE

LACK OF DEMAND SENDS PRICE
OF ARTICLE DOWN Is CENTS
A BARREL.

Within the past week there has
been sharp decline in the price paid
for second crop Tennessee Triumph
potatoes. Dealers are now Offering
$2.25 for run of the field, while as
high as $3.50 has been paid for the
crop. Decrease in the demand is Civ
en- as the reason for the decline.
Comparatively few farmers, however,
will be affected, for the reason that
practically AL of the crop has been
marketed. The belief Is expressed
that period of open weather, en-
couraging the farmers to prepare for
planting the potato crop, would have
a stimulating effect on demand with a
resultant increase in the prices to BE-
paid
