WILL LOOK OVER
RICH COPPER find
CAPT. THOMAS HoATSoN GOES
TO SAN DOMINGO FOR A
TRIP OF TWO
MONTHS.

A few days ago we had a most en-
joyable visit with Captain Thoma:
Hoatson of Calumet. copper minei
OF long experience. says the Ishpem
ing Iron ore. For years he was with
the Calumet & Hecla Mining company
and was one of it's ablest mining men
Later he became associated with Calu-
met & Arizona and many other copper
mining enterprises that have proved
successes. The captain was on his
way To Santo Domingo to look over a
wonderful find OF copper, but he was
not so describing it himself. He
had looked over so many big 'surc
things" located at a great distance
from home that he had become skepti-
cal concerning the far-away "bonan-
zas" and was not building anything
on the latest on his list. The captain

concerning some of these but thus
far the exports have not been large
of course there is always a chance,
and Captain Hoatson was attracted
by certain representations from sup
posedly reliable source and he is going
TO look over something new that has
been located i'm that country. He is
not building upon being surprised with
a great find. but he will be ready to
take advantage of IL should one prove
to be at the Santo Domingo end of the
journey.
Sure Thing at This End.
The captain feels certain he has a
pretty good thing at the American end
Of the track. He has developed
interests in Arizona and Montana that
are making good in a fine way, and
he expects to be pretty busy looking
after them upon his return. He is n
brother of Captain James Hoatson, OF
Calumet, a veteran copper miner with
rare experiences In copper in Michigan,
Montana and Arizona, having been
practically associated with the indus
try in all these states. and is still
largely interested visiting many
camps and keeping in close touch with
their developments. There's no bet
fer copper miners anywhere than
these Hoatsons.

DINCE ESCAPES
FROM CHAIN GANG
Takes Frenchy Little Leave OF
City's Rock Crushing Grew
at Sears.
HAD HAD % DAY SENTENCE
Takes Advantage Of Opportunity and
Goes While the Coins Real
Good.

Always go while the goin' is good"
said Big Boy, a negro who had been
sentenced TO do $50 worth OF work for
the city, when favorable opportunity
presented itself this morning. And he
sure did go. A telephone call was re-
ceived by Sergeant Arthur Kinsley
this morning about 10 o'clock from G..
c. Church, superintendent OF the city
chain gang, that the negro had de-
parted for points unknown, taking one
of the frenchiest little leaves imagin-
able. Thus far, he is at large. 1t is
rock crushing crew since the institu-
ton of the gang several months ago.
In fact, no other attempts at escape
have been made. 1t is more than
likely that the negro will exert more
effort in staying away than will the
back, though neighboring cities have
been notified to watch for the dinge.
GETS 2S DAYS.
About 10 days ago the negro was ar.
rested and sentenced for disorderly
conduct. His fine was $50 and that
meant that he must serve % days,
provided he didn't get away before
the sentence expired. He served 10
days at the labor of crushing rock at
Sears. His escape cut the chain gang
down to seven men and woe betide the
next prisoner who is eligible to work
with the gang.

Is SID ALLEN ABOUT?
Virginia Desperate Sought by Officers
In These Parts.

W lnc6c FdrtS.
Is Sidna Allen, the Virginia desper-
ado in these parts? The United States
authorities seem TO think he is and
are sending out descriptions to all POI
lice departments, United States mar
shals and others. Offering a reward of
$500. The circular containing the de-
scription and likeness of the despera-
do was received here several days ago.
IL was issued by William T. Logan,
United States marshal for the western
district OF North Carolina, and $500
reward is offered for the apprehension
OF Allen.
The Virginia desperate is charged
with perjury, which probably arose
from his connections with a gang OF
counterfeiters.
II is believed by the federal authori-
ties that Allen is west OF the Missis-
sippi river and for that reason search
is being made all over the west.
The description OF Allen as given in
the circular is as follows: Age 46.
height o feet or 10 inches, weight
l55 70 100 pounds. light brown hair
mixed with gray. blue eyes. long nose,
complexion rather sallow, smooth
shaver. very large mouth. left handed

CAMP MEETINGS
ARENOWASSURED
Executive Committee Decides
to Garry on Work This
Year.
TO MAKE NEEDED REPAIRS
Dining Hall and Stables to Be Rebuilt
Future Action to Be
Determined.

The old time camp meeting, which
has been a feature of Methodism for
years, has been snatched from the
burning and will not be abolished for
this year at least, locally speaking.
Owing to a lack of interest and a con-
stantly growing opposition to the meet
ings upon the part OF the churches
more remotely located from the
grounds, the question had been raised
as TO the advisability of continuing the
same. The buildings and grounds have
been neglected and proper repairs have
not been made in late years. until
there was a strong probability that no
more meetings would be held either
this year or in any future year.
TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS.
Yesterday the executive committee
met at the Milan camp ground, and
after a thorough discussion of the mat
ter, it was decided to hold the camp
meeting this fall from Aug. 16 to Is,
INCLUSIVE. III SIOuuuS Will Ut put III

be in readiness for a good meeting.

lapidated tents may be removed by

vision will be carried out.

thorized TO rebuild the dining hall,
which has been allowed to deteriorate
