Trustee.
Following the recent accidental dla-
covery of a bed of phosphate In the
state of Tenneasee a number of At
lantans have bought or secured options
on 10,000 acres of land where the mines
are located, organized a mining compa
ny with a capital stock of 21,000,000
and Friday afternoon made application
for a charter for the Gcorgia-Tennes-
see Phosphate Company. The Incor
porators are all well-known citizens
of Atlanta and are as follows: Ernest
D. Duncan, Walter P. Andrews, Charles
Lorldans, Ivan E. Allen, J. B. Wheat
and W. S. McKemle.
According to a statement made by
Ernest D. Duncan, one of the Incorpo
rators, the mine was discovered In a
most accidental way by a friend whose
name Mr. Duncan refused to give.
This friend of mine," said .Mr. Dun
can, "was spending his vacation In
Tennessee a few months ago and while
alklng along the bed of a creek he
discovered tome peculiar pieces of rock.
He took a few samples away with him
and when they were analyzed were
found to be phosphate rock. Further
Investigation developed the astonishing
fact that the whole country almost was
filled with phosphate rock.
“A number of Atlantans then got to
gether and quietly went to work to se
cure options on the property. This we
have done and have accordingly ap
plied for a charter.
Mr. Duncan slated that he could not
locate the property nny more definitely
than to say that It Is In the state of
Tennessee.
“There are a few detslls not yet com.
pleted.” said he. "and It might spoil
the whole thing for me to say where
It la.”
"Can you give the name of the man
who discovered It?" he was asked.
"That would be telling.” repined Mr.
Duncan, "for he Is a well-known At
lantan and should I give his name peo.
pie would know exactly when and
where he spent his vacation and they
would then know the location of the
mines.
"I will say. however, that It Is be
lieved that the phnephate mines Just
discovered will yield a greater output
of phosphate than nny other mines In
the South. We can’t tell yet about the
grade, but the quantity Is there. The
effect that the discovery of these tin-
menee bede of phosphate will have on
agriculture remains to be seen, but la
sure to be very noticeable."
Mr. Duncan stated that the mining
machinery Is already being purchased
and work will he atarted on the mines
as soon as the charter Is secured.
"At that time.” added Mr. Duncan,
•we will be ready to say where the
mines are located."
In Ihelr application for a charter,
which was filed by Attorneys Andrews
& Skeen, the incorporators asked to be
Incorporated for a period of twenty
years and also ask the privilege of In
creasing the amount of their capital
stock from 11.(100,000 to 16,000,000.

"Oh, Philip,” walled the would-be

CONGRESSMEN RUSHED INTO
BARROOMS, SA YS FERGUSON
New York, June 1.—Rev. W. P. F.
Ferguson, editor of The Defender, says
•ome pretty severe thing, about the
congressional party which visited the
Itthmus of Panama recently. He
says:
"Speaking of the viilta of congress
men, I may properly mention a few In
cidents that show the moral Influence
of such vlsltz.
J was In Colon when the steamer
Panama arrived there, In the early part
of last month, with a big party of con-
gressmen.
Seven In Barroom.
The greater part of the company
appeared to me to be aelf-rcspectlng
gentlemen of whom any American citi
zen might properly he proud. There
was, however, a minority contingent of
a very different sort. These fellows
rushed from the steamer where, ac
cording to report, they had by no
mean been deprived of liquid refresh
ments. straight to the nearest bar.
"I found eeven of them, within ten
minutes after the ship arrived at her
dork, lined up against the bar on the
main street.
"Some of this same party of con
gressmen gave nn exhibition of the
Anglo-Saxon civilization In thla city,
by ’rough-housing' one American dis
orderly house and drinking $30 worth
of champagne In another.
"Another congressman became so
disgracefully intoxicated at the Tivoli
while the party was here, that he was
ejected from that resplendent govern
ment ‘gin mill,' and was forced to
spend the night elsewhere. All whom
I heard refer to this (and the matter
was common talk for a week) consid
ered the couraxe of the hotel manager
the only remarkable feature of the
case.
"The matter was patched up with
apologies the next morning, the out
breaking sinner returned to the fold,
and the Incident, as they say In the
capitol, waa 'expunged from the
record.' ”
Mr. Ferguson reiterates his assertion
concerning the connivance of Ameri
can officials with the vice traffic at
Colon. He says:
Officials Harbor Vice.
"It Is commonly asserted and, so far
as I have heard, never denied at Pan
ama, that the moat notorious vicious
resort In Panama, an establishment
that conducts a branch In Colon, and
formerly occupied one of the most
prominent sites on Central avenue and
now occupies a large building In iv
convenient location, was established
upon the suggestion and advice, as
well as with the approval and under
the patronage of one of the former
governors (American) of the canal
zone."

FOR LONG LOST ESTATE
Washington, June 1.—An unusual
story of the devotion of a young wom
an to an older one was disclosed In the
petition of Annie Kristi for letters of
administration In the estate of Hor-
tense Antoine Gate Achmed DeRouenn-
Forbes.
The case contains the romance of a
long search for a lost estate, which
seems to have been awallowed up by
the earth.
Hortense DeRouenn-Forbos. a
daughter of the regiment In Russia,
and the widow of one of that country's
bravest soldiers, died In Washington,
May 26.
Her life story Is a strange one. She
was born In Moscow 75 years ago of a
prominent family, whose forefathers
had fought In the armies that drove
Napoleon from the country.
General DeRouenn died after pub- ’
chasing an estate In Germany. Some .
years later she married Joseph Forbes, l
of Philadelphia, and It waa at his .
death In 1904 that she moved to Wash- i
Ington.
With her came Annie Krlatl, aged 22,
who was three yean a nurse and com-
panlon.
It was only when the girl felt the >
want of llfe'a necessities that shi 1
thought of the promlae of her mlstresa 1
to remunerate her when the German {
estate was sold. Summoning a law- !
yer, he sought In vain for soma (
trace of the estate, but could hear noth- |
Ing of It. The eeerch will be contln- I
used, and If It Is found Miss Kristi's :
share will be $2,000 for three years’ 1
service.
