AFRICAN HUNT PICTURES
COMING TO THE ATLANTA

Paul J. Rainey, whose motion pic
lures Of his recent African hunting ex-
petition will be shown at the Atlanta
theater on November I. and 8, broke
so many Photographic records that the
mere recital of them would become mo-
notonous The remarkable expedition
which journeyed to British East Africa
won. among other things, the honor OF
photogra phing wild animals in their
native state at closer range than ever
before In the annals Of the camera.
The perils amid which these pictures
were taken naturally heightened vastly
their intrinsic interest. Near the ia
nous water hole from which every va
riety OF the beasts OF the jungle came
to drink Mr.. Rainey stationed his cam
era men in a tree. They stayed there
for many days, too, sometimes securing
many feet of film, and then for weary
hours at stretch none at all.
The results. however, fully warrant
this patient enterprise.

CATRON ACCUSES
FORSYTH SHERIFF
Militia Commander Declares
Officer Tried to Incite Riot
at Double Hanging.

That w. j. Reid, sheriff OF Forsyth
county, sought to incite riot at dan
gerous and critical time and deserved
arrest for his conduct is the assertion
made by Major /. T. Catron, Of the
Fifth regiment, in his report of the re-
cent double hanging at Cumming. Ma
jor Catron's charges have been fled
with Adjutant General Obear and will
be sent to Governor Brown today.
"The sheriff so conducted himself"
said Catron, that II the sentence Of
the court could have been carried out
without him / would have placed him
under arrest for melting riot.
Il believe he was playing for political
advantage and would have welcomed
an opportunity to espouse openly the
side of the mob. He was boisterous;
went where everybody could see him.
and wrestled with young man, drag
ging him down Hill by the foot. and in
other ways tried to create a scene.
"The mob around the fence behind
which the negroes were held awaiting
execution kept calling to him to let
them know when he needed them, and
he would call back to them that he
would do so.
He was yelling constantly to people
outside of the fence. He insisted on
wearing his revolver where everybody
could see II, and his son also carried
revolver all OF the time"
Urges Law to Cover Such Gases.
In making recommendations TO the
adjutant general for the handling OF flu
ture cases, Major Catron urged the
passage OF state law which will per
NIT the governor to remove such
sheriff.
Major Catron said that when the
troops arrived in Cumming after mid
night of October "a they learned that
the fence around the gallows had been
burned. The law requires executions to
take place privately and the troops Of
fered to rebuild the fence. The offer
was refused, although the lumber was
at hand Major Catron maintained thar
Sheriff Reid purposely delayed the ex-
ecution from 10 o'clock In the morning
until noon to permit the mob to gather
In conclusion, Major Catron says:
81 had every reason to believe that
the sheriff was entirely III sympathy
with the would be mob and that he Sc
lected the place for the gallows solely
that the fence might be torn away and
the spectators might have good View
Of the execution. I believe that he con-
nived with the mob in tearing away the
ally did the work"

The tanks work on the same con-
tinuous principle as the roaster,
and in treating copper ore the
sulphur fumes from the roaster
are carried to the tank and util-
lied in producing a chloride solu-
tion, which being used hot acts
very quickly is dissolving the
copper and gold. There are a
great number of gold-copper
mines that are now valueless, on
account of lack Of transportation
that with my method of treat
ment, which l call 'Garver's
Gravity Process that can be
made as valuable as though they
were situated right beside the
railroad, if they depended on
smelter treatment.
One point | would like to call
attention to in my roaster. No
matter how fine the product is,
it can be handled in the roaster
without loosing particle of the
values and fine crushing is just
as advantageous in roasting as
cyaniding. And with my tanks
extremely fine ore can be handled
with a hot chlorine solution as
the agitation is automatic, with
no machinery for the solution to
attack"
The Elk City Reduction Com
pany has the exclusive right tc

districts.

Issues a Valuable Map.

This office is in receipt of a
map of the Central Idaho gold
mining district, issued by the
Elk City Mining News. that is
mighty valuable piece of work.
The map includes the country
which will be traversed by the
Pittsburg & Gilmore railroad,
now in the course of construction
a section which has produced ten
per cent of the gold Of the
United States, and which today
can rightly be called the billion
dollar gold country. R. McGregor
who is quite familiar with the
country, prepared the map and it's
accuracy cannot be questioned.
Any one wishing a copy of this
map may secure the same

News for the small sum Of one

Where starlfnss Bring Ruina

In "Quiet Days III Spain," the au-'
thor. G. B. huffman, describes the raw
ages of the starlings in q hacienda de-
voted to raising muscatel raisins near
Malaga:
"Dogs and goats are. very fond of
grapes and are only kept off them by
rural guards, but the greatest enemy
of oil is the starting. This bird flies
over from Africa in such millions as
literally to darken the earth. When
ever. they camp for the night they
leave desert. Every particle of fruit.
leaf. tender shoot and piece of soft
bark vanishes. AS the saying is,
Many crops spell various fortunes; one
crop of starlings spells ruin. The
blowing Of a southern wind and the
sound of wings in the air produces
panic, mems faces ,blanch with terror.
In despair, bells are rung, guns fired,
torches lighted, and donkeys, mules
and horses are galloped up and down
and round about to scare los bichos'-
the beasts-as they are termed.'S

While the ball team has not
as yet been organized, there is
no lack of enthusiasm by the fans,
and that means all the camp, to
turn out a winning nine for this
season, and that, too, without
the assistance of any imported
players for any occasion. That's
the Dixie spirit its the climate.
Constable Fredrick Franklin
was over from Elk last Sunday
and Monday on official business.
We venture to say that not only
as private citizen but as well
in his official capacity, Mr..
Franklin has the confidence and
respect of all who know him, and
while we are not going.to hasten
to agree with him on his ball
dope, that Elk City is going to
put one over on us this year, we
admire his patriotism towards
his home town.
Judge Henry S. Hazlitt was
over to Elk a few days last week
on official business. He brings
back favorable news in regards
to the outlook over there this
year, predicting that ere long
that that camp is going to prove
to the world that her mineral
zone has merit.
The placer mining season has
opened up in good shape. One

CONCENTRATES.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
Orebodies often change in
character in depth. Some of
the mines at Bingham, Utah,
were originally work for gold,
later for copper, and are now
yielding lead. At Leadville gold
was first sought for, then the
district became famous for its
silver-lead production and now is
an important producer of zinc.
Smoke is absolutely necessary
in steel metallurgy. Any opera
ton that removes the carbon will
produce poor steel. If smoke
less flame is used, all the carbon
is burned out and the surface Of
the steel is made rotten. English
magistrates realize that smoke is
essential to the manufacture Of
good steel and exempt metallur-
gical furnaces, but the question
of mixed stacks is continually
coming up to the annoyance of i
manufacturers. So far as health
is concerned, the most mischief
is caused by household smoke,
yet it is usually ignored by the
smoke inspectors. Strange as it
may seem, some medical men
have recently taken to recon-
mending the smoky parts of
Sheffield, England, for sufferers
from asthma.
Co-owners can be eliminated
from a claim when they refuse
to share the expense of develop
ment, but in advertising out a
! co-owner, the demand can only
be made for the co-owner's share
of the work at the rate of S100
per claim. If more that $100
per claim was spent, the CO.
owners refusal to contribute on
a basis of more than $100 cannot
be used, under the statute, to
work a forfeiture of his rights
in the claim. 1t appears that if
a certain co-owner or cO-owners
have the work performed, any
forfeited ownerships will inure
to them solely, instead of being
also apportioned among the other
-co-owners who may subsequently
offer to pay their share toward
the forfeited portions. If the
demand is made by personal
notice in writing, the delinquent
has ninety days within which to
respond and pay his portion. If
the demand is made by publica-
tion for ninety days in the news
paper published nearest the claim
as should always be done if the
delinquent cannot be readily
found or reached, the delinquent
has ninety days from expiration
of period of publication within
which to respond.
