BULLION CAMP HAS
MINE EXCITEMENT
IN OLD DISTRICT
TWO THOUSAND ACRES TAKEN
UP AT BULLION IN LAST
THREE DAYS.

A prospector by the name of Billy
Roberts has discovered a big ledge of
copper ore in the basin south of the
Bullion camp, about two miles over
the divide from the Bunker Hill prop
erty and in the past three days We
understand that over 100 claims
have been located and the whole
country surrounding the strike has
been taken up. The discovery was
made few days ago In the basin ~
ing just south of the caGlp, and but
little is known of the extent of the
strike, except that a trench has been
run on the ledge so or 70 feet. The
ore is low grade, carrying about one
per cent copper, with little silver
and gold, but the discoveries that
have been made in this district in
the past usually carry but little value
on the surface and Tvs salues always
Increase with depth. The extent of
the ledge is what is exciting the pub
lie, and as this is new territory 1t is
believed that the find demonstrates
that the Bullion field is second to the
Ely district in extent.
VIM Fordham. who is working a
property in the Bullion district, came
in this morning and says that every
body is worked up over the find and
that the whole camp quit work in or
der to get on the ground A mum.
Der of our citizens left before day
light yesterday morning and a sample
of the ore can be seen at the Palm
saloon-Elko Free Press.

place, there is the argument of state
pride. Alabama cannot afford to be
one of three states unable to construct
building on the grounds. Alabama,
with various and excellent products,
cannot afford to lose the opportunity
to display them.
The argument, as matter of fact,
is all one way" No man can offer and
sustain a reason why Alabama should
not be represented.
Therefore, it is palpably the duty
of the legislature to make the ade-
quate appropriation. The project is
one which the state rather than the
people of the state must finance. The
Age Herald feels certain that the
money expended would, in the long
run, be returned not dollar for dollar
but quadrupled. And it is certain that
unless the appropriation is made, Ala
bama will suffer irreparably as a re-
suit of its foolish economy and lack
of pride in itself.

The SteeIe-Smith Fire

Birmingham, like all large cities,
witnesses from time to time the de-
struction of mercantile buildings and
industrial plants by fire. No matter
how efficient fire departments may be
a considerable fire loss during each
year is inevitable.
One of Birmingham's most destruc-
tive fires recently was that of the
Steele Smith company chronicled
in yesterday mornings Age-Herald.
In this city of handsome de-
partment stores the Steele-Smith
Dry Goods company conducted
one of the largest and most popu-
lar. A great stock was carried at
all seasons of the year, but in this
holiday season the stock was larger
than usual. 1t was entirely consumed
by the flames and the loss is stated
at 100000. The damage to the build
ing was $4,000, making total fire
loss of fully $3.50, 900; but the Steele
Smith company, noted for pluck and
public spirit, will rebuild at once. In
the meantime President A. w. B..
Johnson states that pending the cree
ton of large and modern building
temporary location will be Sc
cured. While the handsome building
was in flames Mr.. johnson announced
that no time would be lost in rebuild
ing, and early Saturday morning ne
gotiations were pending for temper
airy quarters.
The business community and thou
sands of shoppers greatly regret the
Steele -Smith company's i'll luck, but
there will be general congratulations
on the company's enterprising policy.
When the new store is completed the
Steele Smith company will meet with
greater success in business even than
in the past.

Profits in Moving Pictures

From the first crude picture shows,

+Ie ATTEMPT made to provide for ven
t;lation. safety or comfort, much less
. nleasing environment, to the gor-
geous knowing picture palaces" oil to-
day. which are often too gorgeous,
seems like a far step. Yet, 1t was
made in comparatively brief time.
The enormous and rapid develop
ment of the moving picture business
has been remarkable, to say the least.
There is probably no city or town IN
the United States with population
large enough to justify such venture
that does not have at least one NOV
ing picture show. In the larger cities
thew are found in great numbers.
Some blocks contain as many as elght
or ten picture theatres, when the local.
itv is one freouented by women shop
ners. while the suburban picture
show has sprung up everywhere to
fill what had become genuine want.
Tn the evening suburbanties, and even
families in the residence districts OF
larger cities, no longer have to Visit
the business part of town to find
amusement. The chances are that
there is a flourishing moving picture
theatre in a block or two of where
they live. Mother and the children
issue gaily forth, ''just as they are,
without the fussy task of dressing
up," and are treated to the latest NOV
ing picture offerings for the modest
sum of or 10 cents.
That the profits derived from this
business are tremendous has already
been known, but it seems almost in
credible that moving picture con-
Germ could make a profit of 1900 per
cent in one year, as was brought out
in a government suit against the al
legged moving picture trust in Phila-
delphia.
No wonder the leading theatrical
producers of the country have turned
their attention to the "movies!'

Heavy Buying of Iron

Matthew, Addy & Co. used to write pes
simistic letters, but within the past few
weeks they have been optimistic:
1T is much more agreeable task writ
ing review of the iron market this week
than has lately been the case" they say
in their Cincinnati report just issued.
Good news is pleasant to record, and all
the news of the week Is good. There has
been heavy buying, and purchasing is
continuing in large volume The furnace
order books which were lean and hungry
have begun to fill out In this particular
market all kinds of iron have been bought.
There seems nothing reckless or specula-
tive about the orders which are being
placed, for apparently in spite of the very
low prices no one is buying beyond ac-
tual needs A study of the statistics
shows that 1.-The last six. months are the
poorest that the iron trade has known in
many years.
The buying is now so general that it
is difficult to put your finger on any one
spot and say that this is the place, but
undoubtedly the present movement started
as result of the heavy buying abroad
yet the home markets are expanding for
finished materials, and even the shops
making railroad supplies made heavy pur-
chases. The steel mills are doing more
and more
ut is to be noted that this sudden ac-
tivity has come at an unusual time in the
year for ordinarily December is extremely
dull"

One Necessary Appropriation


Despite the fact that there is very
general and very just cry through
out Alabama that retrenchment be
practiced in the matter of financing
the government of the commonwealth,
it is probably true that no voice would
be raised against an act by the legis-
lature early next month in making an
adequate appropriation in order that
this state might be properly repre-
sented at the Panama-Pacific lnterna-
tional exposition in San Francisco.
Every state in the union with the
possible exception of Alabama, Rhode
Island and New Mexico will have its
building on the grounds, and these
buildings are now being erected at a
cost ranging from $50, 900 to $500, 900.
Alabama should not be content
through the practice of false and
ridiculous economy to maintain the
pace of Rhode Island, the smallest
state in the union, and New Mexico,
one of the very youngest. Alabama
should be adequately represented. 1t
should have building though it be
modest, and there should be splendid
exhibition Of the innumerable and un-
parallelable products of its mines, its
mills and it's fields.
There are reasons, sentimental and
material In the first place, this state,
through one of its sons, did more than
any other state towards the concep-
ton of a policy which resulted in the
construction of the Panama canal. In
the second place, this state is closer
than any other to the Panama canal,
and should reap the greatest profit
from the trade revolution which that
canal will precipitate. In the third

Another Good Business Barometer

Of business barometers there are
many, and one of the best has been
the New York Stock exchange. When
the exchange reopened two weeks ago
for the sale of bonds, trading was
active and fairly satisfactory.
But the great test came yesterday
when trading in stocks was resumed.
Not all issues had been approved for
trading, but railroad shares and some
industrial shares were offered and
eagerly sought. Business started off
with a rush, and the market was well
sustained If there had been any
nervous feeling on the part of in
vestors, financiers and stock brokers
it quickly disappeared.
Every week brings the business sit
uation closer to normal conditions.
With the new year all untoward signs
will have vanished and a prosperous
era will be at hand.
