THIRTY PRECINCTS
IN COUNTY UNDER
new ARRANGE MENT
Bipartisan Board Has About Com.
pleted Re-Districting OF County
Making only Eight New Voting
Precincts.

The bipartisan board recently
named by County Judge H. p. Purnell
to re-district Mason county in order to
provide for the women voters who will
have their first chance at their fran
chse in next Novembers election, has
practically completed its work and the
changes this board made will only af-
feet small number of the old pre-
cincts.
1t was at first thought that it would
be necessary to make two precincts of
practically every old voting precinct
in the county but the board has been
able to so handle the changes that only
eight new precincts are made while
some of the old precincts have been
changed somewhat in order to pre-
vent the making of new ones
The precincts changed into two vot-
ing places are Wards 2, 4, and in
the city of Maysville, and Sardis,
Washington, Orangeburg and Lewis
burg. In the Orangeburg precinct the
new voting place will be at Rectorville
and part of both Orangeburg and
Plumville precincts has been cut of
to make the new Rectorville precinct
The only changes that are not YET
completed are one Of the lines in the
new Rectorville precinct and change
in the Dieterich precinct which will
throw some of the Dieterich voters in
to the Plumville precinct and which
will so divide the Diterich precinct as
to locate the voting place probably
somewhere in Eastland addition.
A complete report of these changes
in legal form will be published by
Sheriff Galbreath prior to the Novem-
ber election for the information of the
voters Of the county

DAMAGES SOUGHT
BECAUSE OF DEATH
OF DAM WORKMAN
Administrator OF Jackson Taylor
Brings Suit Against Construction
Company for Three Thousand
Dollars Damages.

Three thousand dollars damages Is
sought from the Bates-Rogers Con-
struction Company, builders of Dam
33 at this place, in a suit brought in
the Mason Circuit Court this afternoon
by the Equitable Trust Company, of
Dover, administrators of Jackson Tay-
lor, deceased.
The plaintiffs state that Taylor, who
was an employee of the construction
company, met with the accident which
finally caused his death because of the
carelessness and negligence of the
company's agents superior in author
ity to him.
1t will be remembered that in July,
1918, while at work on the dam, Tay-
lor was struck by heavy bucket of
concrete which was being turned by
large crane. The man was injured
about the breast and head and linger-
ed an invalid for about a year dying
on July 13, 1919. Taylor was a native
of Fleming county, his family residing
in that county but he had made his
home in Maysville for quite a while
being employed on the dam for con-
siderable length of time before the ac-
cident occurred.
Much interest will be taken in this
case and its final outcome will prob
ably be determined by similar suit
brought some time ago and carried
through the Court of Appeals to the
United States Supreme Court by the
same attorney, Hon. A. D. Cole.

putting the local grade in good condi-
tion. 1t is expected that the failure to

appeal for closer relationship be-
tween England and America in all
matters. He contended that England
and America could command the peace
OF the world and plead for spiritual
patriotism similar in many respects to
that of the Puritan fathers. He made
the statement that no League of Ma

less the individual hearts were right.

New Method for Handling
Waste Rock Proves Sue
cess at Milling Plant

The final stage in perfecting the
rock sorting system of the Alaska
Juneau Gold Mining Company, has
now been, practically reached with
the installation of the system for the
disposition of the waste rock.
Heretofore this waste rock has
been loaded into hand-propelled ore
cars and dumped on the big waste
dump below the MILL AS many as
twenty men have been employed in
the work of disposing of the rock
For the past several months work
men have been building long tram
way running from the big mill to
the failing pond on Gastineau Chan
nell Rock bins have also been
erected and big tramming engine
installed and within the past few
days this system of dsposing of the
waste rock has been in operation.
The sorting system briefly is that
the rock from the crusher runs over
belts where workmen pick out the
quartz as it passes along and put il,
on a conveyor allowing the waste
or slate to keep on going. The belt
carries it out of the mill where /:
is dumped from trestle on the side
hill. The waste rock goes on an in
clined plane dumping into s-con-
crete OLE bin. From the ore bin il
is taken by means of ore chutes and
automatic leaders to the cars.
The rock train is handled by
big hosting engine, operated by cleo
tricity. This is a two drum engine
formerly used for hosting men and
ore in the Mexican mine. Most OF
the work is done by the engine with
a counterbalance, the train of loaded
cars turning the engine over and
pulling the empties up the inclined
tramway. The electric power is
used only to get the train in motion
and on its way on the down grade.
The train at the present time Con
sists of two sets of cars. one of
which is down at the end of the lire
while the other is being loaded
There are eight three and half
ton cars in all. They are OF the
side dump type, automatically dump
ing as they pass over a tipple. The
waste rock goes into Gastineau Chan
mel
Two more cars are to be added
to each train and the rock wall
from now on. flow steadily from the
transmission belts to the rock bins
and from the bins to the waste dump
in and near the Channel.
1t is planned that with the waste
rock to be dumped into the Chaurel,
a breakwater will be built as & shell
ter for small boat fleets. In time it
will extend for quite distance into
the Channel and answer the purpose
excellently.
