NEAR COPPER CANYON

]. o. WestrOpe brought to Winnie
mucca today the news of a new gold
strike which was made a couple of
weeks ago by Joe Mccoy, a we'll
known prospector, in the Wild range
about fifteen miles southeast of Cop
per Canyon.
The strike was made at what is
known Is Gilman Troughs and is
only six miles from the Nevada Gen.
trail railroad.
The find was made after a cloud
burst, which uncovered a mammoth
ledge or deposit of oxidized iron
stained material. 1t is said that the
deposit is fully 100 feet wide and
that rock broken from any place
will pan gold.
No claims of extreme richness are
made. the paintings indicating that
the deposit is of low grade. But its
extent, from the prospecting that has
been done, is such as to indicate that
the deposit is of commercial value.
The discoverer has had a number
Of assays made, and it is said that
the returns showed values ranging
from $3.50 to $50 per ton in gold.
About fifty or sixty locations have
been made and there is considerable
excitement in that section over the
strike.-Humboldt Star.

MUCH DAMAGE FROM WIND and HAIL
Many Sections of Randolph County
Have Suffered Severely. Limbs
Stripped From Much Cotton.

Recent rains in Randolph county
have been accompanied in places with
hail and heavy wind.
Friday a portion of the Fourth
district experienced a severe storm.
Several tenant houses and out-houses
on the places Of r. F. Crittenden,
r. G. McCurdy and Helm Brothers
and perhaps others were blown
down. Hail injured crops severely
on these farms and also on the place
of w. C. Bynum.
In Shellman the south portion of
the town suffered. We learn that a
church and lodge of colored people
and possibly other buildings were
wrecked.
Tuesday afternoon there was an
other hailstorm five or six miles
southeast of Cuthbert. The principal
sufferers were W. c. Bynum and W.
G. Lockett. Cotton on these farms
is said to be in bad condition, leaves

Americans Are Also Consuming
Large Quantities of Beer.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Americans
drank less whiskey during the last
twelve months than they did the year
before, but they consumed more beer
and smoked a great many more Gig
arettes.
Reports to the internal revenue
commissioner show that receipts for
the fiscal year just closed totaled
1864, 069 less than for the preceding
year, and most of this decline was
due to the marked falling off in taxes
collected on distilled spirits.
Detailed statements for the month
of June are not yet available, but in
the first eleven months of the fiscal
year there was a decrease of $3,734,-
857 in the income from the manu-
facture and sale of distilled liquor,
due in part to reduction in the num-
Der of licenses. Estimates on the
June receipts indicate the total de-
cline in distilled liquor tax for II
months will probably be $4,250,-
GOO.
Receipts from tobacco taxes show
ed an approximate increase over last
year of $2,80O,00O. This gain is due
almost entirely to a phenomenal in
crease in the cigarette trade. The
gain in receipts from fermented
liquor, beer, ale, and the like, was
about $86O,00O.

CENTRAL RAILROAD
PUTS ON new RATES
TWO AND A HALF CENT FARES
TO ALABAMA POINTS WENT
INTO EFFECT JULY 1ST.
TWO CENT MILEAGE BOOKS

VIII Be Put On Sale Soon. Road
VIII Also Honor All Mileage and
Penny Script Books Over tile
Entire System.
Beginning Wednesday morning
July LIST, the Central of Georgia rail
road re-established its rate of two
and half cents mile between Ala
bana and Georgia points, following a
suspension of the rate for nearly five
years.
The Central has had two and a
half cent a mile rate on in Georgia
for several years, and recently under
an agreement made between the rail
road commission Of Alabama and the
Central of Georgia railroad it put on
the az cent mile rate in that state,
but the rate did not apply to inter-
state travel, consequently persons
coming to Georgia from Alabama
points had to pay three cents per
mile and those going from Georgia to
Alabama points had to do the same
thing.
Later the railroads were ordered
to put into effect the two and a half
cent a mile rate between Georgia
and Alabama points and the rates
went into effect Wednesday morn
ing.
The passenge who now walks up
to the ticket window and calls for a
ticket over Central to Alabama points
will only have to fork over" two
and a half cents per mile instead of
three cents as heretofore. To the
person who does a considerable bit
of travelling during the course of the
year between the two states it will
amount to a neat saving.
Another departure from its for
mer custom was made by the Central
beginning July 1st. The road is now
selling 2 cents a mile mileage books,
good on any road. These mileage
books are form ~" and IT, or one
thousand and two thousand mile
books. In addition to this the Cen
trail will honor all mileage and penny
script books in the future, all over
the system, thing that has not been
done before.
With all Of these changes, in the
interest of the people, the Central
will be a great deal more popular
with many than it has been for the
past several years, as they have con-
sidered that the road ought to make
the concessions that have now been
granted. The new rules will be of
some help to every person that trav-
els and considerable help to those
who travel a great deal.

terday of how their new colleague,
Michael ]. Gill, of St. Louis, had f.
nanced his recent successful contest
against L. c. Dyer for a seat in con-
gross by working in a glass factory
at Alexandria, Va, for 50 day, To
save money Mr.. Gill, it was said,
walked the seven miles from Alex
andria to Washington and back again
when his presence was desired by the
elections committee. He had already
spent nearly all of the proceeds of a
mortgage on his home in st. Louis.
His son, Joseph Gill, II years old,
gifted as musician, played in NOV
ing picture shows and everywhere
else he could pick up a half dollar
to help his father fight for his rights
in the house.
Gets $4,000 Back Pay.
Mr.. Gill was sworn in as a mem
Der one day last week. He immedi-
ately became entitled to fifteen
months salary, including mileage,
stationery and other matters. The
whole amounted to nearly $4,000.

is said, to claim he had been right
fully elected to the seat occupied by
Mr.. Dyer with his home paid for and
a comfortable balance in the bank
He had to pay stenographer's fees
for the witnesses he produced and for
his own testimony, and the opposi-
ton cross-examined his witnesses so
unanimously that the bank balance
was soon eaten up and it became nee
essary to place a mortgage on the
home in St. Louis.
The son started out to earn what
he could with his violin, and Mr.. Gill,
who is a glassblower by trade, sought
work at Alexandria. AS a congress
man he will draw pay at $500 q
year. including the back pay from
