MINING At HILLTOP

Hilltop is bound to win as min
ing camp according to c. ]. Nelson
who left for his home in the min
ing town yesterday. Chris is nat
ural born booster and big figures
run from his tongue gracefully,
when he sees, in fact or fancy, Hill
tops future as a producer Of the
precious metals. He tells many
interesting facts to support his
belief in his home town, and the
figures he gives are equally as con-
vincing. Two leasers on the big
mountain at Hilltop are making
good money and there are few
other good properties open to lease
round about. One thing in favor
of leasing at this camp is that a
mill is in operation there owned by
the Hilltop Milling and Reduction
Company which is doing custom
work for leasers thus saving tran
portation charges. The bullion is
shipped direct to the mint while
mine owners are paid cash on de-
livery a. the mill. Parties desir-
ing to lease gold properties will do

ditiOns are ideal and the whole

Alabama Organization Pleases Large
Crowd In Tent Show

Although presented under can

the show given by the Alabama
Minstrels, negro organization is
one which would do credit to many
of the travelling theatrical COM
panys. Tonight the last perform
ance is scheduled. There was a
large audience out last night and it
is expected the audience tonight
will be even larger. The company
is composed entirely of colored peo-
pie among them are some clever
comedians and dancers. Edwards
performed some very clever feats
on the slack wire and a smoking
act by a big fellow named Watts
who is extremely funny was great
ly appreciated. Hunt fire eater
and contortionist was one of the
headliners on the hill Best of all
however was the excellence of the
old minstrels show. In these days
the old time show is seldom seen,
but the Alabama Minstrels show
faithfully the old productions that
were once SO greatly in demand

FORGE OF GRAVITY.
Il Makes You Fall Faster In Boston
Than In Mexico City.

Il Makes You Fall Faster In Boston
Than In Mexico City.
Did you know that you. drop faster
In Massachusetts than in Mexico2
For instance, If you were to fall from
a twenty story building in Boston you
would descend a lot faster than IL you
fell from the same height in the City
Of Mexico. ....... .....
The principle Of this Is quite simple
even If 1t does seem a bit startling. 1t
Is merely that as one goes toward the
equator the force Of gravity gets less
and less and the quickness of descent
Of a falling body slower; and, while
doubtless you would feel just as un-
comfortable falling that distance in
one place as In another and the results
would be just as disastrous, there are
times and things in which the differ
ence is not only perceptlble, but worth
a notice.
In Boston If you were to fire hori-
zontally with a rifle and your gun were
sixteen feet from the ground the bull
let fired would reach the ground one
second after 1t had left the rife. But
IL you were to take that same rifle to
the City Of Mexico and fire it Off the
same distance from the earth 1t would
take one and one-half seconds to reach
the ground.
So it is easy to see how when hunt
ing in different parts Of the world 1t
is necessary to calculate time from
this same shifting standard of reckon.

NEUTRAL WATERS.
River Stretches Whore Fishermen Only
Waste Their Time.

River Stretches Whore Fishermen Only
Waste Their Time.
According to old fishermen, there is
what might be called neutral ground,
or, rather, neutral water, in rivers.
where there Is no use of trying to make
a catch unless It be that some fool fish
with piscatorial brainstorm snatches
bait as an insane human might grab
redhot stove.
This neutral water Is the part OF
the river where its flow encounters the
saline lmpregnation of the salt water
Of the bay or ocean into which 1t final.
ly empties. With the ebb and the flow
Of the tide the salt water Of the bay
runs up into the river for miles. and
on the reverse the fresh water de-
scends several miles again to the bay
leading into the salt sea.
There ls midway between the salt
and fresh water points, however, that
very seldom shifts. Around this mid
way sbad and blue and other salt wa
ter fish, IL they visit at all, will hover
on the ocean side On the fresh water
fringe will loiter such fish as inhabit
currents that are devoid of the saline
ingredient. If the fisherman happens
to- cast bait In this neutral zone he is
not likely to get either one kind or the
other.--New York Sun.
