Toast TO Mr.. CAvETT.

My Comrades:
arise to invite you to pledge with
me the health and happiness Of one
whom we all love! 1t is customary to
drink such toast in "the liquor that
leaves its color in the cup" but it is far
more fitting to drink the health of our
comrades of stainless r, cord in the pure,
sparkling water, emblem of truth, ma
ture beverage, distilled In the floating
clouds.
He whose health ask you to pledge
is southern to the manner born, a
Mississippian who loves every acre OF
his sunny soil and best of all, her citi-
zens and her institutions. In 1861 when
his state needed defenders, he, mere
boy, shouldered his musket and follow
ed the Confederate flag through four
long, bloody years; years in which the
happy homes of our beautiful south
land were devastated and ruined. Dur
ing the four years he never shir<ed
from duty nor fiinched from a dang
er, but as his official record tells US al
ways showed great gallantry!
When the south's peerless command
er, Gen. Robert E. Lee, said that valor
and devotion could accomplish nothing
that could compensate for the continue
tion of the struggle, this young hero in
gray returned to his home in Noxubee
county and gave the best that was in
him to rebuilding the waste places
caused by this unhappy conflict. 1t is
needless; my comrades, to refer to the
reconstruction period, suffice it to say
that this young man gave his time, his
talents, emperiled his life for white
supremacy.
In every way our gifted comrade has
helped to serve the new south while
holding fast and preserving for future
generations the priceless heritage Of
the old south.
AS a statesman in our legislative
halls, bis record is as untarnished as on
the field of battle.
When it was decided to place in Mis-
sissippi's Hall of Fame portrait OF a
private in the Confederate army, it is
not strange that our coprade should
have been selected as the prototype OF
that matchless fody Of young men, the
like of whom have lever been upon a
field of battle before or since.
NV comrades. ask you to drink to
whole-souled, big hearted, gifted En-

Farm Facts.

Where there is silo there is pro-
sperity.
There is not enough of the communi-
tv spirit among our rural districts.
The laws relating to business are
wholly unsuited to the transactions of
the farmer.
The waste of effort through imprac-
tical methods of farming is the great
est tragedy of the age.
Something is wrong in our marketing
system when a small crop brings more
money than bountiful one.
Cooperation between practical farm
ers and proficient business men will
eliminate ignorance and prejudice.
The nations menu must be made up
from the fields. pastures, orchards and
gardens, and to farm intelligently; the
farmer must know what is needed.
We must give the same care and
consideration to system of co.operat.
i've laws, extending to the farmer the
facilities adapted to his business that
is now offorded corporations.
Farm tenancy is the greatest menace
now confronting the nation and car
only be checked by affording the tenant
and the laborer facilities for acquiring
property and by reducing the high rates
of interest which are now sapping the
vitality of agriculture.
Under the present system of market
ing farm products, it is possible anc
often occurs, that people in one part Of
the United States literally starve fol
the want of product, while the same
product in another part of the nation il

you the name of one to toast before
whom every Veteran here will lower
his shield, in that whom many and pro-
badly most of the noble deeds of our
commander should not have been rec
orded, one who. sharing with him
through sacred memory the heritage OF
those days of strife and woe, has
through all the days of his career as a
veteran proved his guiding star. While
he stands as a prototype of the South
ern Veteran, she stands as a prototype
Of the gentlewoman of the old and, we
pray, Of the new south-loyal. brave,
gentle, cultured, hospitable. Long may
she live as an example of all that is
finest in womanhood and of a hostess
whose courteously generous hospitali-
ty and thoughtfulness have given us
one of the happiest occasions of our
lives. My friends let us drink to Mrs.

Hon. and Mrs. E. D.
CGvett Entertain Vets.

One of the most famous entertain
ments ever given in Noxubee, exem-
plifying lavish Southern hospitality.
was given by Hon. E "mett Cavett on
Friday, August 14th. at his country
home near Macon, when he and Mrs.
Cavett entertained the Noxubee Camp
of Confederate Veterans and about 8
hundred relatives and friends. A fine
barbecue and dinner was served. It Is
needless to say that thoroughly en-
joyable day was spent by all there.
The following resolutions were un-
animously and enthusiastically passed:
The Noxubee County Camp of Con-
federate Veterans desires to go on rec-
ord to show our appreciation of the
great honor conferred upon our county
and camp in the selection of the por-
trait of our esteemed commander, the
Hon. E. D Cavett, to hang on the walls
of our Hall of Fame in Jackson, Miss.
Therefore. be it resolved:
First: That we commend the Hon.
Dunbar Roland, our director Of History
and Archives the happy inspiration in
selecting the portrait Of our command
er to hang in our Hall of Fame, as typi-
flying in form, face and bearing. the
private soldier of the Confederate army.
Second: That we appreciate this
honor more when we know that Mr..
Roland examined the records carefully
before making his selection.
Third: That we esteem it privi-
lege to look upon the portrait itself as
it hangs in bis hospitable home before
it is transferred to its final resting
place in our Hall Of Fame. Nav our
director of History andArchivese ontinue
to be inspired in perpetuating the mem
ory of the private soldier of the Lost
Cause in the hearts of the coming gen.
erations thereby, enriching their pa
triotism and love of country.
Signed COMMITTEE.

We desire to express our sincere ap-
probation of the generous hospitality
of our commander, his esteemed wife.
Therefore, be it resolved:
First: That this reunion in the hos.
pitable home of our commander and
his wife has been the greatest day in
the history of our camp.
Seconds: That for generous hospital
ity and courteous attention, we are in
deed grateful and take this feeble way
of expressing our gratitude. May the
God Of Battles and the Father of US all
watch over and keep this hospitable
household. ]. 3. HIBBLER

Just above Burke, lying south or
and adjoining the Benton, is the Toll
edo group of three claims owned by
M, ]. Farrell, George Steward and
Herman Rossi. Under the direction OF
Mr.. Farrell, a few months ago series
of open cuts were made on the Toledo
claim which showed up a strong ana
promising ledge for a distance OF over
900 feet. For the purpose of prospect
ing the vein a crosscut was started
which within the last few days mas
cut it at a depth Of 40 or so feet, which
shows the vein to be five or six feet
wide between perfect walls. Practic-
ally the entire vein is strongly oridized
quartz and carrying some value IN
lead. The vein is being further ex-
plored by drifting east to get under
the highest point of the hill where the
surface showing is best. This POM
will be reached within about 15O feet

and it will not be surprising II ore II

THE MONITOR.
Work on the Long Crosseut Is Now in
Progress.

The Monitor mine, situated near
the summit of the divide between Ida
no and Montana, about three miles
from Adair, Idaho, Is to be developed
by a crosscut tunnel which will cut the
vein at depth of probably 1900 feet
and make the output easily accessible
to the Milwaukee railroad. Work has
now been started on this important
undertaking and necessary buildings
have recently been constructed to
house the men and provide for winter
work.
Development of the property mas
heretofore been through shaft near
the summit, from which much high
grade copper ore was hauled to Sal
tese for shipment. Nothing has been
done in the shaft since the forest fire
destroyed the buildings of the COM
pany some three or four years ago
This deep tunnel on the Monitor Will
have an important bearing on other
copper properties nearby and when
may be developed from it.

SUPREME JUDGE.
North Idaho Candidate Is Visitor in
the District.

Hon w. M. Morgan Of Moscow, who
was nominated in the recent primary
for justice Of the supreme court, was
in Wallace yesterday and went to Kel-
logg this morning. His opponent Is
Judge Walters of Shoshone, in south
Idaho. Assuming that both candidates
are eminently qualified for the high
position, Mr.. Morgan draws attention
to the fact that two of the three Judges
OF the supreme court now reside in the
south, and that fairness as well as the
desirability Of having member who
is familiar with questions involved In
litigation from the north should draw
support to the northern candidate.

COPPER KING SHOWS
GOOD SILVER VALUES
ENTIRE WIDTH OF VEIN IN OHE
OF GOOD MILLING GRADE
ORE IN DRIFT.

The winze that Is being sunk in the
west drift of the Copper King con-
tinues to show most gratifying re-
suits, and inspires the belief that a
permanent ore shoot of great COM
mercial value is being opened. The
winze is now down 40 feet and on the
foot wall there is about two feet or
quartz with galena all through 1t. Be
tween that and the hanging wall, or
rather the wall Of the winze, for the
hanging wall is not in sight, there Is
about four feet of copper ore or talr
grade. The ore shows improvement as
depth is gained, and the entire bottom
is now in ore that is unquestionably
good mill feed.
Silver Value Increases.
One of the most notable and gratify-
ing changes developed in the winze Is
the increased value in silver. An as
say a few days ago of fair sample
representing the entire width of the
copper ore in the winze gave 2 per
cent copper and % ounces in silver.
The winze is being sunk about 250
feet from the face of the west drift
and on the east end of the ore shoot.
Between these two points the ore Is
continuous, but low grade, and in the
face there is a good showing of botf
lead and copper ore. The quality OF
the ore improves as the drift extends
west, and the management hopes tt
he able to continue drifting in addi,
ton to extending the winze to deptf
that will demonstrate in a measure the
extent and value of the ore shoot.

September of last year that the pre-
limnary in the way Of preparations
for driving the tunnel was begun and
about IL months since the actual un-

is therefore a highly creditable one
for the management.
Find Milling Ore.
Since the vein was cut drifting has
been in progress both east and west
with more or less ore of milling grade
There is one streak of ore which in
places is a foot thick, while the en-
tire face is intersperced with more or
less ore. At the present time only the
west drift is being extended which
shows improvement as 1t advances
Considerable shipping ore is being
sorted and piled on the dump. In the
old workings the ore shoot has beer
explored for several hundred feet and
carload was shipped which yielded
good profit.

company has been at Mullan this
week inspecting the companys prop
erty. and especially the small flotation
n,ant that was recently installed for
the purpose of experimenting. The
particular purpose of the plant was to
recover the silver value In a shoot Of
gray copper ore which could not DC
saved In concentration. 1t Is under
stood that the experiment has proved
more than satisfactory and that steps
win room be taken to enlarge the flo
tation plant.
