The Ingersoll & Crrsson mining
dtCdgfe had to cease operation the
otVierday on account of being tm*-
aUle to'moVe owing to the small 1
amount'of Water* in the stream. A*
dam is being built across, as*
is some times done, when they des
Bire to move in low water, but the
amount is so small now if any
leaks they will have to hold up un

Four years ago the Consolida

Mhmtger 1 \\\ H‘. MfcAfee of the
McAfee - Lind Mind, says that
their littlh ten stamp mill is giv
ing Splendid results and all con
cerned are perfectly satisfied.- A
lot of Western gentlemen were at
the mine last week and' tliCy were
perfectly delighted witli'what they
saw, yet greater results could be
had if the mill was run regularly
both day and night; * As it is", the
pump is run about nine hours and
the mill the rest of the time. Ft
may be, if electrical power caii'be
secured reasonably that it will be
used to operate the mill. Then
the mill and pump could bo run
tit the Bame time when it is nec
essary. The mill and buildings
bn the premises contain nothing
about them that is fancy, though
are put up well and substantial,
which the observer at the first
glance can see that the manager
has an eye to making money.
We understand that Mr. Boat
ing, a college miner, is now in
charge at the Ktowali, who is
said to be n nice follow. Wo do
not know whether tho gentleman
1ms any practical knowledge of
miningor not, but hope he has. for
it takes something more than book
mining to make the business a
success in any country, matters
not how valuable a piece of prop
erty may be. The formation in
all mining countries is not alike
and a man must understand what
he is doing to get to the* veins in
the cheapest manner. They seen)
to have plenty of water at this
mine fk> rurt forty stamps, is our
iiiformation, but run only about
five stamps most of the time, but
undoubtedly will Btaft up more
at an early day, as we understand
that about twenty-fiVe hands are
emplbyed by the cbmpnny. This
gives our correspondents interest
ed in the Etowah, making en
quiries about it, some idea of what
is being done down there. We
generally answer' our corres
pondents, wishing information in
reference to the mines htei'e, both
private and public, so if we make
a mistake any orte can c'orrscfl it
through these - columns free of
charge. A gentleman interested
in the'Etowah promised to give
ns a* letteT in reply to what we
a arid about the management of this
mine a 1 few weeks ago, but so* fa?
it has* not been received*.

It doesn’t now look like either
Parker or Hcarst will be nomina

Representative Wellborn of
Union, last Tuesday introduced in
the house a bill to pension all soL
dtors, or their widows, who served
ih‘ the Confederate army for a
period of six months and who were
honorably discharged. This bill
provides that the pension to be
paid is not to exceed $60. It was
urged'when the bill was introduced
that the number deserving the
pension under these new conditions
is insignificant, and that the
amount to be paid out through this
channel will not be considerable.
Preacher Len Broughton of At
lanta, was attacked by Chief of
Police R. W. Westbrook of ’Al
bany*, Gg., last Monday, and hit
several times with a cowhide, be
cause the divine had' been vilify-
lug tho head 1 'of tho police depart
ment'of that city,-while in the pul
pit tho day previous. At the
same time the chief’s son knocked
down tho man who furnished Mr.
Broughton with tho alleged
charges. This reporter ought to
have carried his charges tty the
proper tribunal instead of to the
preacher. And preachers have
got no right to got up in tho pul
pit and vilify men like Mr.
Broughton docs.- If they do they
may expect to get hurt. The pul
pit is no place to bring up such
charges that were made against
the officials of Albany.
The state prison commissioner
has just made his report. There
has been no increase in the prison
population since October 1, 1903:
There are in the peuitentiary 250
whites, of which seven arc women,
and 2,059 negroes, of which eighty-
six aro women. The white rucc
according to tho last official census,
I\184, 294 furnishes only 11 per
Cent, of tho convicts, or one con
vict to each 4,915 of population,
while the negro race, according to
the last official census, 1,034,$13
contributes 89 per cent., or one
convict to each 502 of population,
The contracts made for convicts
will bring into tho state treasury
annually for the period of five
years, beginning April l, 1904, tho
gross sum of $340,000 for the next
four years, and after deducting
the necessary expense, for this de-*’
partment, $825,000 will be loft an
nually, which, under tho law, will
be divided among those counties
not using convict labor upon their
public roads, according to popu
lation to be used for school or road
purposes as may be determined by
their respective giaud juries.
