being completed the cohyention ad-
journed for one hour. IfApch were
possible, the good people Of Har-
mony made new record for them
selves in the matter of dispensing
hospitality. The manner in which
the long table under the oaks was
heaped with everything nice to eat
indicated that the hosts and hos
tesses of the occasion expected a
greater number than were present.
After all had withdrawn from the
table Efficiency was left to feed
as many more. Considering the
princely manner in which they were
entertained, no wonder some of the
delegates expressed desire to have
Harmony made the permanent meet
ing place of the convention.
Immediately after reassembling
in the church after the social hour,
Col. w. J. Talbert and Mr.. w. 6.
QUITS gave running, nevertheless
very interesting, report of the state
convention which was held at
Greenwood.
One of the best addresses of the
day was that by Prof. G.; f. Long
made upon the theme, The Sun
day school standard" He was fol-
lowed by Rev. E. H. Beckham who
spoke interestingly of the Sunday
school organized" Mr.. Arthur S.
Tompkins and Mr.. j. M. Cobb,
both of whom have had extensive
experience, as superintendents, spoke
on the Sunday school superinten-
dent.
THE child we teach" was the
subject of a paper that was written
by Mrs. J. L. Minis. AS Mrs. Minis
could not be present she requested
Mrs. Mamie Tillman to read the pa
per. The next topic, Securing
men and women for the adult Bible
Glass;, was discussed by Mr.. A. S.
Tompkins. 9
The last item on the program
was very earnest address by MI.
,, S. MEG. Simkins, the subject be-
[ ing Spiritual preparation of the
teacher" Mr.. Simkins spoke with
characteristic vigor and his address
was we'll received, holding Shc clos
est attention of the audience des-
pite the lateness of the hour.
But few, if any churches in the
county a.e more thoroughly organ
lied or do more effective work than
Harmony. And in the matter of
singing, this church easily ranks
first among the rural churches. No
feature of the convention added so
much to the real pleasure of the oc-
casion as the music under the lead
ership of the well organized choir.
Mrs. G. I'M. Smith presided at the
organ.
There is growing sentiment in
favor of making the session of the
convention two days instead of one.
In order to complete the work of
the convention in one day there is
constant rush which not only mars
the pleasure of the meeting to some
extent but renders it less profitable.
1t would be we'll for the executive
committee to take the matter under
consideration before the holding of
the convention of 1913.
The convention will meet next
year with the Baptist church at
Clark's Hill.

Fortuna Sends Ore
 Via SearchIiuht.

John Howe of the Howe and Harris Fortuna lease, Eldorado Canyon, is in town for few days. This lease, in the few months of it's existance, is decidedly leader, and more spectacu- lar and sensational than any other in this region. The returns from a car load shipment sent to the International shelter are daily expected. Another carload that appears to be even richer than the first is in sacks at the mine. The owners are having some difficulty in getting the freighting done to the railroad at this point, this being the hot season and the haul of about 25 miles rather hard one.
 The Fortuna people had sunk two shafts to depth of some 400 feet on either side of the ore body. Now these leasers are sinking a third shaft midway between. There appears to be, on the whole, no diminuation of the ore supply. The shipping grade that running up into the hundreds of dollars per ton in value-pinches and widens In turn, varying from a few inches up to some IS inches in width. The third shaft is designed also to supply air, and with it's completion the present force of half dozen men will be considerably increased. Search light Bulletin.

Found in Cross-Cutt,nu.

Don't quit an old mine until you have cross-cut. s Such seems to be the lesson taught to mining men by the recent discovery made in the Union mlne.
 Sixteen years ago tunnel was driv- en upon one of the veins of the Union claim, at Chaparral. Although the claim was known to contain three or more veins. the greater portion of the work heretofore done is upon the Union vein, and from the tunnel above referred to a large amount of ore has been sent to mill. In a stope which rises eighty feet above the floor of the Union tunnel, w. H. Jones noticed a small stringer running into the dolo- mite footwall and that the water which ran from the streak was much diScolored with iron. He followed it a short distance, when it connected with a vein of ore, which proved to be of excellent grade.
 As the point of discovery was not an advantageous point at which to open up the newly. y.discovered vein, a cross-cut was run from point in the tunnel which i, beyond the stope and farther from the tunnel mouth. Just a few feet through the foot wall-and the miners opened into what bids fair to prove big deposit of excellent ore. The new vein so far as opened since It's discovery about ten days ago shows thirty inches of ore. About eighteen feet of drift has been run, the vein being well defined and showing a gouge on either side, indicating that it is chute in a strong Assure. The val ues determined by conservative sam- bling are most satisfactory. There is a streak of arsenical pyrite which averages 7lS per ton in gold, with about two ounces of silver to each ounce of gold, while the remainder of the thirty inches of ore, after discard ing the fines which might contain some of the high grade, yields con- servative value of lS$ per ton. The higher grade ore being separated from the lower grade, is found to comprise about one-tenth of the entire mass.
 The discovery of this vein so close to the old workings of the Union, is, as a miner put It, "like getting money from home"; for the new strike. besides being immediately alongside the old tunnel, has depth or back" of l6O feet.
 It was w. H. Jones, son of John s. Jones, whose inquisitiveness led to the discovery. Mr. Jones, Jr., is newly made mining engineer, but he was brought up in and around mines and therefore has practical ideas about finding ore and how to mine it, Prescott Courier.

ON SHELTON,
CHURCH BLOWN OVER

New Brunswick, April 26:-The
village of Stelton came in for n
of the freak features of the storm
Wednesday. The Stelton Baptist
church, with its spire of 1877 feet,
has been a landmark for many years
and an object of interest for miles
about.
The wind took the steeple, with
its solid oak timbers, tore 1t from
the church, whirled 1t high In the
air and then dropped 1t IN to the
roadway. In falling 1t turned a
complete somersault, as may be
vouched for by reliable witnesses,
who say they w saw such a sight.
The wonderful part of the fall
was that not a window was cracked,
and in the steeple was a nest of
pigeon eggs. &c of which was
cracked, but the others were all
right. The steeple in coming down
Topped the head off a marble lamb
which topped a monument in the
cemetery.
The audience room was not dam
aged at all and there will be no in
terruption OF divine service.
The steeple was cree ID AZ years
ago. 1t will probably be rebuilt.

Decision Against Him as
Monmouth Freebooter Clerk.

CFrom the NEWS Correspondent
Trenton, April 26:-The supreme
court, in an opinion by Justice Gum
mere yesterday, decides against the
right of Charles E. Close to hold
the office of clerk of the Board of
F~reehoIders of Monmouth county.
Close was elected In May, 1907. He
was chosen under the Strong act Of
1902, which was amended in 1903
because of a defect In the title.
The court holds that the sixth
section Of the original act is defec-
tive because its provisions are not
indicated by the title Of the act. 1t
is also held that this defect is not
remedied by the 1909 amendment.
The suit against Close was
brought by George w. Patterson,
Jr., who was elected clerk Of the
board on January l, 1910, under
the law antedating the Strong act.
