Stockholders M'Duffee Mine Meet

The annual stockholders mest- ing of the McDuffee Mines, Inc. was completed Feb. lst at A. Polet's office. A new board of directors was elected.
 Ralph McDuffea was appointed president, w. w. Laws Vice Presi dent and Stuart Stangroom sec retary and treasurer.
 The former secretary's report was read.
 McDuffee who was manag-r last summer reported that the work done last year was: l,50O tons of high grade ore blocked out, a bunkhouse erected, some new track laid and much other work accomplished.
 McDuffee in his talk with MT, Polet and other stockholders present stated that plans for the future were to place a certain amount of stock on the outside market and to drive an 800 foot tunnel on the lower level which will block out about l5,000 tons of ore. McDuffee stated that the cost of driving this tunnel, com pressor and other machinery would be $15,000. The cost of CT ecting a mill g or 10 thousand dollars.
 McDuffee also stated that the amount of ore exposed by cross cuts and open cuts was estimated at more than 5000 tons.
 When we consider that the ore ran through a small test mill and recovered by amalgam ation has shown an average of considerably more than $l00 per ton, bank assay returns, there is no reason to doubt that this should be a paying mine.

Mathew Town, it's chief settle

the west side of the island, which
also has good farm land and valu-
able stands of wood.
Inagua is interesting to the nature
lover and sportsman because OF the
number of animals and birds found
there, many of them seldom seen
on the other islands. A large, shall
low lake. some IL miles in length,
is the favorite haunt of ducks and
marsh birds and here. too, the
famous and beautiful flamingo is
found in large numbers. In fact,
the largest breeding ground for
flamingo in all the Bahamas is situ-
ated at the upper part of the lake.
Among the other birds to be found
are sand pipers. pelicans, willets,
stills. parrot, mocking bird, the Tyre
humming bird. the little Bahama
duck. spoonbill and thrush.
Wild cattle, horses. donkeys and

and offer rare sport. Good fishing
grounds exist just of the shore of

BY JACQUES FUTRELLE, Jr.,


The tourism industry, perpetually
curious as to how vacationists spend
their money, has contributed two re-
cent surveys that shoulc prove en-
tightening and intriguing as well to
those who find adventure, rec
reation and educational sidelights
through travel. One report covers
the percentage of expenditures for
living, shopping and knocking about
Mexico; the other goes into detail
of the average Midwest family's va
cation outlay.
The Mexican Tourist Association
has found that of the American
travellers peso, the greatest spend
ing in any one classification goes for
eating. Tempting Mexican foods and
drink, or American standbys in a
Mexican setting, account for "a per
cent of the travellers outlay. Color
ful baskets. bright and useful Sc
rapes, artistic silverware and other
items of Mexicana found during the
delightful experience of shopping
account for 81 per cent of the visi-
tors budget-not that this sum was
budgeted originally, but that it
works out that way. The survey
also finds that at least half of these
purchases go as gifts to the folks
back home.

his funds to souvenirs as he does to

Mexico Looks 10 Fame
As Perfume Center

MEXICO CITY, Sept. Con
noisseurs among American tourists.
long knowing Mexico as market
center of imported French per-
fumes, are now becoming aware OF
perfume made by Mexican natives.
Experts who have studied the
great perfume industry of southern
France see Mexico as the new per-
fune center of the world.
They give as reason for their pre-
diction, the profusion of flowers
which grow in Mexico, their cheap
and easy cultivation, the influx of
many French refugee perfume ex-
pertS now living in Mexico and the
convenience of Mexico as a dis
tributing center and as center of
tourist trade.
Already a number of Mexican
made perfumes are finding a market
and proving we'll liked, most popular
among the flower essences being
violet. jasmine, lily, carnation and
narciSSuS.
The skill of the Mexican perfume
makers is attributed to their being
descendants of the Aztecs, who for
centuries were experts in flowers
and incense, and it is expected that
the names of their blends will sound
just as romantic and alluring In
Spanish as do the French perfumes.

"She didn't know she was giving

seems this isn't just any old ring.
It's been in her family for five gen.
erations and it had become legend.
The Mcdonald who was in possess
sion of it never stepped on the stage
without wearing it. And she couldn't
break that family tradition. She
hadn't known, of course, that she
was going to play, so the ring was
in her room, locked up. She knew
she'd have time to get 1t and be
back to the theater before the cur
tain. And she was, but when she
did get back, Carol was there"
But why didn't she tell Tommy
why she was going?"
"She knew he wouldn't have let
her 60. She had to sneak out"
For the moment I let my mind
drift back over those last five days.
jeff, it's been horrible"
Sure. Murder isn't a dancing
thing. 1t isn't a waltz by Strauss.
Murder is murder"
jeff had been staring out the
window when a moment later he
said, "Haila, are you wondering what
has happened to Carol, and what is
going to happen to her?"
Yes, I do think about her. And
worry"
We'll. you needn't worry any
more. Look"
At the curb a girl in a dark-blue
suit was standing beside a man.
Her face was tilted up to his, one
copper -colored curl escaping from

Roam Mountain Roots
Aqain Duq for Pipe Bowls

ROAM MOUNTAIN VILLAGE,
Tenn, Sept. 6.-Some of the old
men of this village have gone back
so years to their hoyhood occupation
of digging rhododendron and laurel
roots from Roam Mountain to be
used as pipe bowls.
The war has cut off the north
African supply of briar so some pipe
manufacturers have again turned to
Roam Mountain that produced most
of Americas pipe bowls up to so
years ago. Transportation killed the
industry then and lack Of trans
portation has revived it. t-
Roam mountain is also famous be-
cause its fiat summit, with an alti-
tude of $500 feet, is the site of what
is reputed to be the worlds largest
and finest purple rhododendron
growth, and the only place in Amer
lea where Scotch heather grows.
Tourist traffic has become so
heavy to Roam Mountain that the
authorities of the Cherokee Ma
tional Forest have decided to build
modern roads to the mountain top
and establish a recreational area
there.

Rio de Janeiro Church
To Hold Two-Month
Celebration
Our Lody Of the Cliff
More Picturesque in
September and October

RIO DE JANIERO, Sept. 6.-Most
churches of Brazil are content with
one great annual celebration in
honor of their patron saint, but not
so the Church of NoSsa Senhora da
Penha, where the residents of Rio
de Janeiro have two full months of
rejoicing and jubilation every year.
The celebrations at Penha start
with the first Sunday of September.
Every week end thereafter pilgrims
stream up the cliff to the church to
pay homage. BY October the cele-
brations are really under way and
they do not end in their final glory
until that month has run its course
and the last Sunday come.
Other Claims to Fame.
Because it stands on a prominent
rock or cliff, Nossa Senhora da
Penha, or Our Lady of the Cliff, has
long been a landmark of Rio de
Janeiro.
Besides its location, the Church
of Nossa Senhora da Penha has
three other claims to fame-it is
reached by flight of 365 steps. one
for each day of the year; many of
the devout still follow the religious
custom of climbing the entire length
Of this stair on their knees, and,
the church festivals of September
and October are made an occasion
also for placid family enjoyment, for
instead of going home after the
the church the rest of the day. They
bring large picnic lunches, spread
these out nearby and so make the
occasion a festive as well as reli-
gious one.
Booths Sell Fireworks.
Travellers who visit Nossa Senhora
da Penha during these holidays will
find many small booths erected near
it and at the foot of the hill, where
the long flight of steps begins. Some
candles and other religious objects.
others food and still other fireworks,
for church holidays in Brazil are
often observed with fireworks dis
play.
Nossa Senhora da Penha is a COM
paratively small church but is one
of the historic ones of Rio de
Janeiro. According to legend. it was
founded by a hunter who was sur
prised by a large serpent. The
serpent made to eat him. as the
hunter fell to his knees and prayed
to Our LADY of the Cliff. a gigantic
lizard appeared and the serpent was
frightened away. To commemorate
this event, the hunter built a shrine,
which eventually became a church.
AS a memorial of this story, the
church today has a relief on its wall,
end North American visitors always
enjoy studying it.
