MINING ITEMS OF THE
SILVERTON DISTRICT

At the Hamlet mine development
work has been under way now for
some time, the men employed are driv-
ing two upraises at the mine.
Robert Bryce, accompanied by al
few mining men. left Thursday morn
ing for the Little Maud mine in Mag
gle gulch for the purpose of sampling
the mine with IA view TO operating the
property during the coming year.
Rich, richer is the ore at the High
land Mary. 1t is reported that body
OF very rich ore was opened up thiI
week at this property and runs great
er in values than any ore that has
been taken from the mins What
the Highland Mary has in store for
the San Juan this year will cause the
outside world to sit up and take no
tice of this district.
From the Telescope property stu
ated near Chattanooga, comes the
news that the strike recently made,
is growing larger in values as the
work progresses. Mr.. Fisher, under
whose management the above prop
erty has shown results that has not
been obtained from this mine in many
years, informs the Standard that he
is very much pleased with the show
ing of the property and is only await
ing the opening of the railroad before
he starts shipping. A force of men
have been kept working at the main
tunnel in the hope of cutting the Mod
der vein, which Mr.. Fisher feels will
give a name to the Telescope. Chat
tanooga bids fair to become an active
mining camp this year and with the
aid of the Telescope mine. no doub,
mining activity will again resume its
place in this camp as in the days Of
old.-Silverton Standard.

WHIPPED BY NIGHT
RIDERS IN GEORGIA
Men and Women Are Lashed by
Masked Band.
A PANIC is STARTED
One Man Given Hundred Lashes and
Allowed One Minute to Get Out of
Hostile Ranse-AlIeeed immoral
ity Given as Cause.

Dalton, Ga.-A panic has been start
ed in the southern portion of Whit
neld county by night riders, who are
whipping men and women for alleged
immortality and other offences. The
night riders have been at work for
some time. have whipped several per.
sons and have warned others that
they will be whipped unless they
mend their ways.
The other night the night riders Wis
tied the home of John Shannon. a
prominent planter, dragged him from
the bed and lashed him until he was
nearly dead There were about forty
men in the band and all wore masks.
1t is alleged that the band gave as
their reason for whipping Shannon
that he had LsI conducted himself be-
comingly in his household. Shannon
says he recognized some of the night
riders, but is afraid to give their
names. He has arranged to dispose
Of his property and 60 to Atlanta.
William Brown. who lives in the
southern part OF the county, was used
by the band as a guide to Shannon's
house. Brown says the man was TAX
en- from home. that about a hundred
lashes were given him and a minute
was allowed him to get out of hos
tile range. Following the whipping
others were visited. and told that the
whipping given Shannon was only a
sample of what they would get IL they
didn't quickly mend their ways.
Earlier in the week two men were
whipped because. it was alleged. they
were unkind to their wives. Two
women were also whipped on the
ground that they cared more for other
men than for their husbands.

MEANINGS CHANGED BY TIME
Study Of Word Building Through Cen
turtles Brings Out Many Most
Interesting Points.

Word building is as much a piece
of carpentry as is house building.
Only it takes longer Sometimes a
century or more. And by that time
the words first meaning is usually
changed.
For example, the old word for
"neighbor" was "sib." Ones good
neighbor was known as ones good
sib." This became shortened to god
sib," and later to gossip" Then the
words whole meaning changed and
gossip no longer meant good neigh.
Dor, but applied to the sort of talk
exchanged between good neignbors.
Take the word farmer" too. The
old word for farmer" was Door"
(And "boor" later was used for de-
scribing farmer-like or rough per.
sonsD The farmer living nearest to
one was known as the "nighbor," and
this phrase, in course of time, was
twisted to "neighbor"
You've heard the proverb: Little
pitchers have big ears" Well. it
doesn't refer to the utensil that holds
water or goes to the corner side door
Pitcher" was slang term with some
such meaning as our word chap" or
fellow" Thus. Little fellows have
big ears" is a more sensible rendering
of the proverb.

Iron-Bearlnu Plants.

Experiments are under way at the
agricultural meteorological station in
Vienna to increase the quantity of
iron carried in certain plants with a
view to the effect on the human sys-
tenn when those plants are used as
food. Artifcially prepared foods con-
tanning iron do not always produce
the desired effect, because the iron is
not completely assimilated. This diff
ficulty. it is thought, may be avoid
ed by causing plants TO take up an
increased quantity Of iron during their
natural growth. By adding hydrate of
iron to the soil in which it was grow
ing, the experimenters have succeed
ed in producing spinach containing
percentage of iron seven times as
great as that found in ordinary spin
ach. 1t is believed that the process
will prove successful with other fer
ruginous plants.

But of sudden the sun bursts forth
In all the glory of a summer after.

Nscene is changed. Gloom and despair
are overridden by a boundless Joy, the
al[dispelling joy of nature. True, the
waters still hurl themselves headlong
to the awful depths below; true, the
terrible chasm yawns for its
lawful prey; true, the voice of the
Mighty Thunderer" still echoes from
the untold depths. But those waters
seem now to sccintillate with thou.
sand crystals, to reflect strange colors
and weird phantom shapes-to dance
with a newborn impetus; that chasm
seems to yawn less terribly; the
voice of the Mighty Thunderer" to
speak with a cadence strikingly mu-
steal, and as the mist created by the
fall rises snowlike to the sky, a veri-
table burnt Offering, browning the
Mighty Thunderer" with a glorious
double rainbow, emblematic of victory
and peace, the waters themselves
glide off down the river, clear as
crystal, yet verdant as the meadow
land, smooth as glass, yet turbulent
as the mighty torrent that impels
them-glide of down the river in the
besetting peacefulness that marks the
period Of calm that precedes the
storm-off down the narrowing gorge
to be lost in the vortex of the rapids.
