STICK!

You're like the rest OF us, old scout
And swear each year you'll be
A better chap ere the year runs out
Into eternity,
That's how you know you'll keep out
'front.'
Only you don't.
You're going to put raw-hide brake
On all profanity,
An angel child, while you're awake,
Asleep, from faults you're free!
You've made up your mind what to
do, and don't
-Fine-But you won't!
On good intentions you are strong,
A halo hangs above
Your head-and you can think no
wrong
Your heart is filed with love
For a day, perhaps, you feel like a
Only you amt!
We've all been there-don't think you
are queer,
1t is the way of man
To try improvements every year
His faults to sternly scan.
But stick to the idea, just the same
It's some fine game!

INDIGNANT CITIZENS
HOLD MASS MEETING
200 Men Protest Method of Handling
Gases in Oglethorpe County Supre-
rior Court.

Athens, Feb 9.-Dissatisfed with
the finding of the jury which recently
acquitted That Chain of the charge
of wife murder, 200 citizens of Lex
ington, county seat of Oglethorpe coun-
ty, held an indignation meeting" at
the courthouse yesterday by way of
protest against the methods which
hace, according to their allegations,
obtained in that county nthe prosecu-
ton of criminal cases.
The emeting carried little excite
ment, but wonderful earnestness
that augurs for the predicted clean
ing up of that county" of some of the
evils which citizens say they have suf-
fered for many years.
The meeting was presided over by
Former State Senator c o. Stephens.
Many lading citizens took party. Reso-
lutions were passed protesting against
the verdict Of the jury and denouncing
alleged interference with and influ-
encing of the jury in that case and
in other cases through the years past.
A committee of rs was named to in
vestigate the report of attemps to in
fluence jurymen and report to the jury
n evisors with a request that a revision
of the entire list be made of practical
ly all new men in the county, and that
all persons who there is reason to
believe have had hand, actively or
passively, in tampering with jurles,
be left off the list.
The methods of alleged influencing
the jury in the Chain case were par
ticularly condemned and the manner
of handling that sensational case in
the court was criticised severely.

SNOWSTORM STRIKE
REPORTED AS RICH

Another rich strike of silver or
was made this week on the Snoy
storm claim, one of the 1908 group,
reports the Goodsprings Gazette. On
Tuesday samples we're taken on a
face of IA inches of ore and assay
ed TT ounces. of silver and S2.4O
in gold. The following day the ore
was opened to a width of two and
q half feet, an average sample across
the a assaying SO ounces in silver
and $500 in gold. The property is
owned by Richard Feaster, n of
the best known mining men of the
camn and an old resident. The work
uhen this strike was made is down
but little over 10 feet.
The claims are under lease TO
Beecraft and Roth and have been
producing some very good silver
ard copper ore. The new find oc-
ours in new workings and the leas-
ers are sinking on the vein. The
ground is located on the contact OF
the limestone and porphyry which
extends from the Yellow Pine to the
Contact and the location is very
favorable to the making of big ore
bodies. The new strike is found in
the limestone about 80 feet from
the contact and is dipping down
toward the contact.

fired in the intruding rock invari-
ably resulted in the discovery that
ore lay behind the valueless wall.
This feature has been demonstrate
ed on the 800, 425 and 550-foot lev
els, and has upset all prior theories
as to the extent of the company's
ore resources.
And in addition to the discoveries
just Newfoundland ofe of excel
lent value lay behind what were
originally thought to be the hang
ing and footwalls of the orebody, an
other development of the greatest
interest and importance has been
made. This is in the discovery that
portions of the shale beyond the
footwall of the east o%re-shoot, which
formerly was supposed to mark the
termination of the Withdrawing
rock, are richly impregnated with
gold.
To what extent or distance the
gold has penetrated into the shale
formation has not yet been definitely
ascertained, but where such condi-
tions occur it has been found that
the values in geld are higher and
more consistent than in the lime
belt.
One of the most interesting sights
in the mine is the sill floor on the
fourth level, where superintendent
McCraney has started a stope, more
for the purpose of getting a reason
able approximation of the east ore
body's width than with the idea of
carrying on regular mining opera
tons at present. From the north
ern point of excavation to the south
ern wall of the chamber, the stope
is fully 40 feet in width, with ore
still showing on both walls and on
all sides, top and bottom.
1t will probably not be until ac-
tual mining operations are started
at this level that the true extent
of the orebody will be determined.
The existing condition presages
wonderful disclosures IN lower lev
ell when they will have. in later
months, been reached, for the con-
I slant widening and lengthening of
the orebody on successive levels,
from the first to the fifth, accom-
panied by a steady increase in values
as greater depth on the orebody is
attained, makes it an almost fore
gone conclusion that when the ore
shoot is explored on the next lower
level it will be proportionately wider.
longer and richer. in accordance
with the improvement in each of
these features disclosed on the sue
cessive levels established below the
surface.-Tonopah Miner.

He says that progress is apparently

more complicated than it appeared

ARE
NOT AFFECTED
MEN EMPLOYED IN MINING IN
DUSTRY NEED NOT
SUFFER

In connection with the action of
ongress in declaring hat a state
of war exists with Austria, it is
pointed out by members of the Gold
field Mine Operators Association
that the new relation of this coun-
try toward Austria should have no
effect upon the condition of Austrian
workmen employed in mines of Ne
yada, and particularly in this part
of the state.
Austrians employed in the mines
o. this region are generally regard
cd as among the best class of work
men to be found and it is realized
that many of them are in spirit good
Americans and are not in sympathy
with German frightfulness. 1t is
highly improbable, in the opinion
of prominent mine operators and
that any action will be
taken to discharge Austrian work
men or to exclude them from the
treatment accorded men of nation
alities not affected by the war.
1t is certain that so long as they
comport themselves in a peaceful
ana law abiding manner they will
no.. be molested or made to suffer
for the position in which their ma
tive country is placed as a result
of German military domination.
