BILL WILL AFFECT
 LOCAL P0ST0FF|CE
Measure Now Pending to Mean Appointment of As
 sistant Postmaster

The Associated Press dispatch from Washington to the effect that Congress would immediately begin consideration of the bill which has for It's object ths change in the basis of railroads remunei- ation for transporting mails. created in terest in Birmingham. One of the pro- visions in the bill affects the manner of selecting assistant postmasters and inasmuch as Birmingham has only an active assistant postmaster and several tentative applicants for the post, the salary of which is now remaining in the treasury through practical default. the loutcome of the consideration of the measure is awaited with impatience.
 At the present time railroads are re- munerated for carrying the mail on a basis of weight The bill would change that basis to one of floor space of cars. It is understood that railroads are op- posing the measure because 1t is said to have a tendency to reduce their re- which on the present basis Is said by them to be inadequate
 The bill furthermore provides that any candidate for the post of assistant post master who passes the competitive exam- nation may he selected for the post. In other words, the option of the postmas- ter is not limited to the three appli- cants who make the highest grades. Since tho resignation of Professor smith. Charles I~ Stapleton, superintendent of mails. has been acting assistant postmas- ter. Oscar w. Underwood will appoint the regular assistant probably not sooner than late fall. His appointee will be either Milton James, now in the service. or H. R. Norman of the Birmingham Ledger

MANY LOTS OFFERED
 FOR SCHOOL SITE
Commissioners Impressed by w. T. Underwood Place Near Mag
 nOIia Park

Several lots have now been submitted to the city commissioners for the pro posed site for a Southsd High school One of the last places submitted and which it seems has impressed the com missioners considerably is the w T. Underwood place, just block or two from Magnolia park.
 The commissioners do not plan to build a Southside High school for sometime. they state. but they believe it best to buy site now before real estate values in the neighborhood advance. With a site acquired they will then build the schoolhouse. they say. just as soon as they get enough money.
 They expect to make choice of the several lots offered within the next few days. The Magnolia park site has been considerably reduced in price since other lots have been offered. This site was once turned down because the price was too high, according to the commissioners.

BROWN STATEMENT
 HIGHLY COMMENDED

The statement of Eugene l.. Brown in The Age Herald yesterday morn ing was widely discussed on the streets yesterday and in business circles. Tho statement of MT. Brown was considered by many persons to have been the most thoughtful that has been made on the waterworks question. few opinions follow:
 Dr. Ali Walker: "The statement of Mir Brown was absorbing and I read It through with the deepest interest. There have been few statements on the water question more convincing since I have been here"
 Robert Jemison, Jr.: .I cannot im- agine anyone reading the statement of Mir Brown and continuing to harbor grudges against the water company and giving their support to a move ment to destroy that utility corpora ton"
 J. H. Barr: MT. Brown made a mag nlficent statement which should be read by every water consumer in this com munity.''
 J. N. Winston: "The interview of MT. Eugene L. Brown will weild an in- fluence on the water situation of far reaching injury to those decrying that corporation"
 Capt. Joe Wiley: This water agita- tion convinces me that if the people ever get half chance they will over throw the commission form of govern mert."
 Thomas Bowron. "Mr. Brown has con tributed ah opinion to the present water agitation which will convince a great many taxpayers that they are being cajoled."
 Culpepper Exum: MT. Brown wrote charmingly and convincingly of that subject which has been buffeted about this community for d long, long time"
 Edward Crawford; '1t is to be hoped that the statement of Mir Brown will be read and digested by everyone in- tcrested in fair play in this commun- ity"

Robert N- Bell. united States dlStrlct attorney: T am certaily opposed to the removal of the county Jail from its present location to some other part of the city. l believe 1t is impractical to transfer prisoners from one part of the city to another. Tn that 1t will entail expense, delay and certain amount of danger from incensed mobs desir- ous of taking the law in their own hands. l am heartily in favor of build Ing a 10-story building, or a higher one if necessary. with the upper stories reserved for jail purposes. One of the objections to the present structure is the alleged annoyance to the adjacent residents by the singing and shouting of the inmates of the jail Let us put them out of hearing by the erection of building high enough to prevent the sounds being heard on the streets. In my opinion 10 or more story build ing erected on the present site will remove any and all objctions.''

WALL. STREET PAPER
 BOOSTS JUNEAU MINE

The New York News Letter, issued by Thompson, Towle and company, the New York, Boston and Chicago brok- CTS. of January 2Sth, contains this front page story of the Alaska Gastin- eau mine at Juneau:
 DThe work of developing and equip ping the, new Alaska-Golds property at Juneau, Alaska, for the treatment of 6 .0OO tons of ore per day is proceeding so satisfactorily that the original es- innate of the management that mining and milling operations would be be. gun before the close of 1914 undoubt- edly will be realized, If not bettered.
 Tn the power department the new No. 9 power house at Salmon creek was completed and both units put in operation. At the No. power house at the beach, the first unit is also op- erating. With these two plants work ing, the company has sufficient power for all development and construction work now under way Work on the big dam was stopped in November, and will be resumed April 1st, and should be completed by summer The two new plants will be capable of de- veloping up to 5000 horsepower.
 1.-TWO developments of unusual i'm portance were those which took place in the main Perseverance workings, where crosscuts which were driven at 2OO.foot intervals disclosed for consid' erable widths ore assaying from $S to s4 gold per ton. While 1t is impossible at present to know what weight these will have as regards raising of grade for the entire tonnage, it is worthy of note that the profit in this ore is about three times that estimated for the average of the mine. Another de- velopment was the further opening of parallel vein which was intersected in the Alexander crosscut tunnel which enters from the hanging-wall side. This vein has been drifted upon in both directions and the ore found to correspond closely in grade and width with that of the main lode. No esti- mate was definitely indicated when the Alaska Gold property was taken over ore reserves of 5O,OOO,OOO tons, it is now conceded that this figure will run into the hundreds of million tons of ore.
 Tn milling it's ore the Alaska Gold Go will follow to some extent the general method employed at Utah, and the properties under the Jack ling management, and not the usual Jul neau practice. A large portion of the non.bearing gold rock will be elimin- ated in the preliminary milling oper. ations, thus cutting down materially the tonnage handled in the plant It is now estimated that ratio of con- centration of 400 tons into will be possible, which means that but 15 tons of concentrates will be obtained from the treatment of 6.OOO tons of ore per day. In the new method, high ex- traction of the gold values will be made. This new method is regarded as an important departure and is very significant, indicating greater recovery per ton over the original esti. mate of the engineers"

Strongly in Favor of the
Proposition
Some time, long before the declara-
ton of war in Europe, number of
the people of Ocala petitioned the
Florida railway commission to require
the several railways entering Ocala
to build unon passenger station, but
first for one thing, then another, the
matter was allowed to drag without
taking definite shape, but few
months ago a movement was set on
foot to bring the matter to final
conclusion.
The board of trade passed resolu-
lions proposing that a poll of the citi-
zens be made with two petitions, one
favoring, the other opposing the prop
osition, the same to be presented for
signatures, leaving the signers free to
exercise their own Judgment in the
matter without argument or persua-
sion.
The result of the canvass was that
three hundred and forty-six signed In
favor of the proposition, while only
eleven were found who opposed 1t.
