 UNITED EASTERN

A. N. Lewis was crushed to death last Tuesday night by a cave in a stope on the 800 level of the United Eastern. Lewis was a mucker and had been at work in the mine con- siderable time. His back was broken by the slide of ore and death was al- most instantaneous. He was aged about 57 years and had been in the district several years, working in the various mines.

SHAFT ON MINERAL PARK
 PROPERTY DOWN OFT.

MT. and Mrs. John Kay, accom- panied by their son Lyon, were King. man visitors from Mineral Park yes terday. They report that the shaft on their mine, in the main wash east of the Park, has reached a depth of 60 feet and is now timbered to the bottom. A hoist is to be erected on the shaft and work carried to a depth of several hundred feet. The water is being taken care of by a good pump. The shaft is in splendid cop per ore,' the values being high aver age, and the width of vein has not vet been ascertained, although lateral work has been carried out, more than 20 feet.
 The vein is high in iron and cop- per, making the ore attractive for purposes, and as soon as the is ready to produce the pro- duction will be bid for by all the cop per smelters. WANTED-CLEAN RAGS. 5c A

 Harry LeClair has started work up- on his Big Four property in this dis trict. Several small buildings are be- ing erected, and work is being done in reference to location of the shaft. This property is situated just at the edge of the townsite.
 w. S. Jennings has started work upon the Illinois Katherine Gold Min ing group, and has erected several small buildings upon the property, which is situated just west of the town ,and near the Treasure Vault.
 Tom Klker and Sam Brethour mot ored to Kingman last Tuesday night to attend the meeting of the Cham Der of Mines.
 James Coleman was a Kingman visitor this week upon urgent busi- ness.
 Mrs. Fred Willis came in from Col orado this week to join her husband, who is employed at the Katherine Ex- tension mine. They are contemplat- ing the erection of home in Kath- erine in the near future, but at pres ent are registered at the Katherine Hotel.
 Mrs. E. R. Abadie, Jr., and Mrs. A. c. Lambert were Kingman visitors this week upon a shopping tour.
 Messrs. Foster and Curtin were Katherine visitors this week, looking over properties in the district.
 While this week has seemed ouiet- CT than usual, more events have transpired of real importance to the future of the district than in several months. Several visitors have come and gone witht heir reports, and among these have been some Los An geles people who, it is stated, came in to look over the Arabian mine.
 There are about ten times more people here than in the summer, about ninety-five men being employed in the mines, houses being erected and more are being figured upon by parties wishing to build. Work is being pushed forward in all the mines and the people who are in business in the town report increase in all lines of business.
 The Adams mine has started down with their shaft again, and are going as fast as good men can put down a shaft, with everything looking good.
 The Katherine Extension is driv- ing about four feet each day in the crosscut to the south at the 200 foot level, and the entire district is up and coming over the prospects of their striking ore at any moment.
 The Treasure Vault mine has start ed their first crosscut at the 50 foot level, and expect to strike the vein within the next few days. As this mine has such excellent showings on the surface, and at the cutting of the vein at the twenty foot point, it is expected to show unusually good val ues at the crosscutting of the vein at the fifty foot level. In case this proves to be fact, then the Treasure Vault is one that it will pay to watch in it's development. T
 MT. Gilbert of Oatman has been visitor to Katherine for the last few days of this week, registering at the Katherine Hotel, and looking over the entire district. MT. Gilbert has been in this section many years, and spent some time in the Katherine district many years ago, when things were quite different from what they are at the present writing. He expects to return here again in the near fu- ture.

paid out of the district money but
out of the general purpose fund The
old one was paid out of the district
road money. l don't think you have
five higher-class gentlemen in the
county than your five commissioners,
or five men who are more interested
in improving the roads than they
are. And they are doing the work
without a salary. These commission
ers appointed the supervisor. l am
sure they thought they were getting
the best man available, and L want
to ask the citizens not to become dis
turbed over this law blythe agitation
of few disgruntled politicians un-
til the law and the road officials have
had a fair opportunity to show
whether it's good or bad. Allow me
to call your attention to few con-
ditions they had to meet when they
started last April. The road money
in each civil district of the county is
kept separate and spent in the dis
trict in which it's collected. All of
the Is districts combined this year
had about $40, 900 road money. When
these officials took hold in April
about $4,000 of that money had
been spent in patch work during the
winter, leaving them virtually no
money to work the roads with this
year. The new law very wisely pro-
hibits them from spending that mon
ey until they get it. So you can
readily see, next year they will have
all the money that belongs 10 each
district, which has to be spent work.
ing the roads in the district in which
it is collected. They ought to be
able to do some real road work next
year. Let me remind you that they
have bought and got ready for use
next spring three of the best road
graders that are made. And the
State Highway Department has given
our county three of the best tractors
that are made, four very high-priced
trucks and two car loads of wagons,
picks, wheelbarrows, etc. -sr. Smith,
the chairman of your county COM
states that the invoices sent
with the machinery amount to lit
tie over $4,000. This they actually
gave us. What else has the State
Highway Commission done for us?
They have given us fifteen thousand
six hundred dollars of actual cash

Reelfoot Lake. And they propose to
donate more money each year until
we get first-class road from Reel
foot Lake to Union City and to Tip
tonville. The State officials feel and
believe that it's right to help Lake
and Obion counties build some roads
to the lake as it's the States proper
ty. I have tried briefly to lay this
situation before you and ask you to
suspend judgment and stop CRITICIZE
ing your road officials for one year
more, and if this law and the off,
cials haven't made good by then the
commission and myself will join you
in asking your Legislature to repeal
this law junk all this machinery and
go back to the ante-bellum days of
the overseer and hand system, when
we had OK wagons with prairie
schooner beds and lynch pin axles.
l further would recommend that
we support men for Governor, Sena-
tor and Representative that would
favor an amendment to reduce the
State Senate from 33 members to IL,
and the House from SO to 81, and
then pay them money enough for
their service to get AZ of the best
men in the State, real men-made OF

ed for the right thing though the
heavens fall. We should also have

meet for thirty days, all bills be in.
troduced and published to the State
for at least one year, and then re-
convene and pass such of these laws
as the people would permit them to
pass after they found out what they
were doing. The Governor should be
elected for four years and not be al
lowed to succeed himself or go from
the Governors chair to United States
Senate. Now, Mr.. Business Man,
professional man and farmer, / have
given these matters considerable
thought and study, and my candid
opinion is: If you don't give little
more of your time and attention to
Federal and State government and
clean out great big per cent of the
present U. S. Senate and Congress.
and prohibit ever again another Leg
islature to assemble on Capitol Hill
at Nashville composed of the class of
men that about sixty-five per cent of
the last one wns, that those of you
who live ten years longer will reap
whirlwind of disaster and bank
ruptcy. S. r. BRATTON,

LETTER FROM MR.. BRATToN.

To my friends, the taxpayers of
Obion County, who are soliciting me
to become a candidate for State Sen
ator:
l want to thank you very much, but
will have to decline for the follow
ing reasons. AS you know the Sen
atorial district is composed of
Weakiey, Lake and 0bion counties,
and it has been a custom for thirty
years or more for Lake to have the
Senator one term, then Weakley two
and Obion two. Lake has the Sem
ator now. It's Weakley's time next.
So you see that eliminates me or any
other Obion County man for the next
four years. l know / am entitled to
succeed myself in the Lower House,
should | want to, from the fact, it's
custom in this country to give any
man a second term who makes good,
and everybody knows that l made
good. In fact l got this credit from

right here, without Boosting, that |
saved the taxpayers of Tennessee
from two to five hundred thousand
dollars during the last Legislature,
and then that Legislature cost Ten
nessee two million dollars more than
it should have cost them. l stand
square upon my record and will al
ways be proud of same. I'll take
this opportunity to suggest a few
things that l stand for and think
the taxpayers of Obion County should
require of the man they support for
Governor, Senator and Representa-
tive. First, a tax law that is just
and square to all men. / will brief
ly outline a law here that l think
would rid them of Car Louthan and
also the back-tax machine of Tennes-
see. Have your tax assessor to as
sess the taxes in your county in jan
uary, February and March when the
people arc not busy; give them au-
