Arj Doing at Their Pretty Iron Mine Out in the Hills ■ ' Of course our willingness was Teadily affirmed when that genial young citizen, Lewis Dixon Knight, kindly offered to drive a > T ews and Courant man, in his springy road cart, out to the Mor gan Mining Co.’s iron mine. jjo\v, if a road cart makes vou s ick at the beginning, it will make you well again by the time you have survived the novel jolts and air-swings peculiar to its gyra tions as propelled by a young horse with spirit, over a road not altogether as level or smooth as a race -track, and a trip of a few miles will loosen up the sinews and make one feel as though the bene ficiary of a round of healthful athletics. The mine is on the east side of the Etowah, and‘separated only by a hill and hollow from the cele brated Wheeler bank, opened by the Etowah Mining Cos. with such fine promise some six or seven years ago. A lead of good brown hematite iron ore, extending a quarter of a mile through a hill, found just after the Wheeler mine was opened, has been worked with gratifyiag results and rosy prom ise for over a year, and there is an energizing charm surrounding and a fitness attaching to the name given the mine, “The Hope On, Hope Ever.” The ore assays from 48 to 56 per cent. A contract lasting for a good neriod exists with the com pany and the Lookout Iron Co-, at Battelle, Ala., to whom ship ments are made. A force of about I forty hands is being worked, and the output of the mines is one hundred tons per day. The mine is one of the prettiest to be seen anywhere, and the par aphernalia are perfect for the best of work. The ore is carried a short distance bv trains to the steam washer, and there washed and separated into two grades, and so clean is the ore that there is scarcely any waste. The water used is brought through pipes from a branch, and is saved by means of a mud dam, to be used a second time. The company now has its com missary, where necessities are dealt to employes at ruling prices, af fording an appreciable convenience to the workmen. • * At a cost of nearly $3,000 the company has lately had the old road bed,running from Emerson to the Wheeler bank, relaid with ties and rails to the mine, a distance of one and three-eighths miles, and now a jaunty little train of cars on a thirty inch tracx runs regularly, carrying their ores to the W. & A., which is a great improvement over the old mode of hauling it in wag ons. At Emerson a fine arrange ment for shifting of loads consists of a high trestle, from which the loads from the mines are dumped to the cars below. “She looks like a toy, but she does the work,” said Mr, Knight, as he asked us to sit down on the little side seat on the engine, and soon we were steaming away “to beat the band,” Mr- Knight play ing engineer to the extent of about every two minutes reaching for the cord that released the whistle, “to let ’em know we were coming.” It was the richest of fun, this spin ning through space on the baby train. Though some of the grades at£ five per cent, and there are nu merous sharp curves, the trips be tween termini are made usually in ten minutes, A few weeks ago Mr. Jack Peter came down from Indiana to take the initial ride on the new road, and greatly enjoyed it. Mr. Peter is the presMent of the company. R. P. Morgan general manager. All the gentlemen consti tuting the company are proud of their mine and plant.

PEACH CROP WILL MOVE SOON- Growers Will Put an Immense Har vest on Northern Markets. Chattanooga Times. For the first time since 1898, the peach orchards of Georgia are loaded down with the weight of a full and abundant crop, the largest and most excellent crop ever seen in the empire state. As one man has said, the whole of Georgia, from the gulf to Tennessee, is one large peach orchard; and the boun tiful yield this year will eclipse any year in its history. E. M. Oweus, a w r ell-known trav eler who has been through Geor gia lately, was speaking last nigl t of the rejoicing of the farmers in the peach-raising section, stating that thousands of them were grow ing rich by this industry, which bids fair’ to make Grorgia one of the richest states in the union. He related an instance of a farm er’s purchasing a plot of ground four years ago for S3OO, and plant ing Elberta trees upon it at a cost of about S2OO, making the total cost of the orchard of sixty acres SSOO and his labor in tending the trees for four years. Today, when the trees are groaning beneath the weight of the luscious fruit, the crop alone is worth $l5O to S2OO per acre, or from $9,000 to sl2 000 —a wonderful profit for a SSOO investment. In two weeks time the earliest standard variety grown will begin to ripen, ana- from that time until late in October countless carloads of peaches will be shipped to the north and east. It is believed by the farmers that no year in the previous history of Georgia will compare with this in the matter of peaches produced, and they cannot therefore base any predictions as to the crop upon a comparison of previous crops, The smallest es timate the most conservative farm ers place at figures way beyond anything that has ever been sent out yet. GREAT INDIANS AT FAIR Chiefs Joseph, Ger'nlmo and Red Cloud at St. Louis St. Louis. Juue 6.—Like living pictures in gaudy colors, at the world’s fair are some of the most famous Indian chiefs of modern times. Chief Joseph, the great Nez Perce warrior, who displayed so much skill in his long campaigns against the United States tioops, is oneof the world’s fair attractions. Another is Red Cloud, the old Sioux chief, now 96 years old, and his sub-chiefs, Flat Iron, Red Shirt, Crow Dog, Lone Bear and Lost Horse. Red Cloud, whose wrinkled, painted face is like parchment, clings to the Indian garb of the plains, but wears eye-glasses like the ‘‘pale faces.” Gerouimo, the savage old Apache chief, who led General Miles and other Uuited States army officers such long, weary chases through the mountain fastnesses of Ari zona and New Mexico, is soon to join the other famous at the fair. Geronimo and the rem nants of his warlike tribe have been prisoners of war at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, for several years, and will be under the watchful eye of United States troops while at the fair. These Apache prisoners have no lands or annuities. They are fed and cared for by the government, and make considerable spending money by the sale 01 their fancy bead-work, such as mocassins, belts, purses, etc., etc., made of buckskin painted and decorated with beads in an artistic mannar. 1 ANTS DEVOUR BOLL WEEVIL- Texas Scourge Is Being Warred Upon by Red Ants. San Antonio, Tex., June 2. — Jose Cassiano, ex-county collector, is the bearer of good tidings con cerning the work of red ants. Mr. Cassiano’s fields less than a month ago were alive with boll weevils. Today he says there are no live weevils in his fields. The rows are strewn with dead weevils which the little red ants are carrying away by thousands. Mr. Cassiano says that a c’ose inspection failed to show a single weevil on a cotton plant anywhere in his fields. The ants are on the plants and in the rows between in countless thou sands. They seem to have com pleted the slaughter of the weevils, and are now engaged in carrying the corpses away, probably to be | i stored for food. CAKTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1904. OUR FIRE DEPART MENT. Mr. Graham, the New Chief, Wants System Improved. HORSE REEL NEXT MOVE. Ladles to Conduct a Bazaar to Raise Funds—Protection for East Side. The new chief of the fire depart ment, elected a few months ago, Mr. W. M. Graham, is enthusi astic over the idea of an improved department and is going at the work with a zeal and dete.mina tion that means success. By the aid of the city council and the ladies he hopes to have a horse reel on hand and ready for calls. On the 24th and 25th of this month, at some suitable place the ladies will have a bazaar tor the purpose of raising funds toward the purchase of a horse and horse reel. In this and kindred ways as much aid as possible will be secured and when the utmost has been accomplished through other methods, the city will be asked to supplement the fund with a suffi ciency to yiake the purchase. There are positive assurances that the fund raised through the bazaar or other like means will be used for the purchase for a reel and for that alone. Mr. Graham has recently been elected president of the North Georgia and Alabama Volunteer Firemen’s Association, and pos sesses fine information in fire matters. The first detail work Chief Graham did was the much needed one of assorting and straight ening out the hose, which had got into all sorts of a tangle. He finds that the department has nearly 2000 feet of good hose, capable of any pressure, and 500 feet that are in fair condition and yet servicea ble. Another idea of Chief Graham’s is to put the little red wagon, full of hose at a convenient place, near East School house, so as to be accessible foi use in case of fire in that part of town. He will advo cate also the placing of one of the reels at a safe place near the warehouse locality in the winter months. Mr. Graham’s efforts to’ bring the department up to what it should be deserves the thanks of the people and every aid should be given the carrying out.of the work. LYNX-HERRING.

BIC TNCINE INSTALLED. Two Thousand Horse Power to Move the Machinery- IMMENSE POWER PLANT. New Cotton Mill Nearing Complet ion-Work on New Addition Begun. The big engine which will move the tnachir ery of the American Pad and Textile Co’s new cotton mill is being installed at the plant and the immense proportions is startling. 1 he double engines and connec tions weigh about two hundred and sixty tons, and to furnish the steam "for these are seven immense boilers. The smoke stack which is now one hundred and thirty-five feet above the ground, will be com pleted at one hundred and fifty-five feet- The main building has a floor space of a little more than one acre to the floor and is three stories high with a basement. This is all under roof and the floors are being laid of maple. The painters are giving the finishing touches to the interior and it will soon be ready for the machinery. Fifty cottages have been built containing from five to. seven rooms, and all are convenient and comfortably arranged. The office and store house are opposite each other on the main street and both are modern in architecture, and are good, sub stantial brick buildings. The ground for another mill which will be the same size as the building which is just being completed, is being graded and work on this extension will begin at once. All of the work which is being done is of the most substantial character, and when completed it will b/L one of the best cotton mill properties in the south. GERMAN RaTIROAJD EXHIBIT Block Signal System Operated by Government at World’s Fair. The German government rail road exhibit, which shows the block system and swi ch signals now in use in Germany, is attract ing great attention froi visitors to the world’s fair. More than 1,500 feet of track, in the construction of which both iron and wooden ties were used, have been laid. There is a station house, two switch towers and one intermeSiate block signal post. One of the switch towers is fitted with mechanical and one with electric signal appa ratus. The block system makes it impossible for a train to run into an open switch, or for one train to run down another between stations. The double track system prevents collisions. By means of electrical apparatus, all switches, except the one opening the desired track, are locked, making an error on the part of a switchman impossible. As the last wheel of the train passes, the switches are all released by rail contact, making way for the next train. At intervals of about seven miles are placed intermediate block posts, with a similar signal and switch apparatus. By automatic arrange ment the levers are all locked so that one train cannot leave the station until the train ahead has passed the next post, thus prevent ing one train from running down another. All the material used in construction was brought from Germany. * TERRIBtE FLOODS. Property Loss Will Reach Half a Million Dollars- Dead wood, S. D., June 5. —Asa result of the heavy rainfall through out the Black Hills, which has con tinued for nearly a week, Whit wood, Dead wood and City creeks, three streams passing within the city limits, have left their banks, carrying away a number of houses, barns, sidewalks and lumber yards.

Chi-Fu, June 6. —A Japanese correspondent from Dalny confirms the reported advance of the Japan ese armjfon Port. Arthur, news of which was brought here today by the Chinese. The correspondent states, however, that there are fif teen miles between the Japanese and Port Arthur, instead of seven, as reported Dy the Chinese. The Japanese army is advancing along both coasts. It is reported that the peninsula division on the east coast fought a battle within fifteen miles of Port Arthur, June 3. The result of the battle has not yet been learned. A junk which layoff Port Arthur June 4, because of lack of wind, heard desultory firing on the morn ing of the 4th, and saw five Japa nese torpedo boat destroyers as they disappeared below the hori zon. Afterwards a tremendous explosion .was heard, and it was thought by those on the junk that possibly one of the destroyers had struck a mine. On the night of June 3d immense columns of flame and smoke were seen from the junk in the direction of Dalny. REY. S. P. JONES ILL Revival Servicesat Rome Brought to a Sudden Stop Rome, Ga.. June 5. —The revival services conducted hece for the past week by Rev. Sam P. Jones, Rev. George R. Stewart and Miss Emma Tucker, came unexpectedly to a close tonight owing to the illness of Mr. Jones. Georg.a’s famous evangelist has not been a well man for some time. His coming was delayed two or three days by an indisposition and the extreme heat of the week has kept him from participating in many of the ser vices, though he has preached against the advice of his physicians. His physical weakness has been apparent to every one and caused uneasiness among his host of friends. This afternoon Mr. Jones left for his home in Cartersville to rest and recuperate, it being evi dent that only in that way can he regain strength and health. Enor mous c:owds have been in the city today to hear the services, and general regret is felt that circum stances compelled the close of the revival some days in advance of the original time determined upon.
