phosphate men in this one case. Here is
a case whereoa lack of understanding of
the laws of this country on the part of
the foreigners, together with their fancied
wrongs, got a good man into trouble.
The Record calls attention to this fea-
ture of the case in order to caution em-
ployers and to put them on their guard.
Those who are brought here ought to be
told at the start they are coming to work
and that work is to be expected of them.
In the presence of competent witnesses
they ought to be made to understand that
they will have to refund the money ad-
vanced for their transportation, but that
there are no laws in this country which
would justify their employer in holding
them for debt. Care should first be taken
in selecting those who are to be brought
here to work. There are a great many de-
sirable immigrants to be had and the
South is in need of them.
Another observation we would make is
that of all the laws which are being abused
and misused in the United States, that
in reference to peonage is the lead It is
a matter of common occurrence for those
who endeavor to shirk their just obliga-
tions to resort to this statute of the nat-
ional penal code to assit him in his ef-
forts. It is becoming to be a matter of
common occurrence to resort to this law
and there are a number of eases coming

up every term of court in some of the
United States judicial circuits. But this
is something which the employers of labor
must guard against. The law is there
and the employers ought to see to it that
there is never the chance given to resort
to it by any of those who are bent upon
leaving the debts behind them at the camp.
One feature of the New York dispatch
which is preposterous on its face, is that
negroes were put over the Germans and
that these negro brutes applied the lash.
That correspondent ought to come down
here and try any game of that character
just for the sake of informing himself.
The probabilities are that if he allowed
such a state of affairs to exist in any part
of any Southern State, he would hardly
get back to New York to continue his oc-
cupation of sending out such contemptible


D. T. GEROW HAS RESIGNED.


Severs Connection With the Standard Oil
Company.
D. T. Gerow has resigned as manager
of the Florida branch of the Standard Oil
Company. Regarding his resignation Mr.
Gerow is sending out the following official
announcement to sub-agents and patrons:
"On the last day of this month I will
have completed twenty-five years service
with the Standard Oil Company, Jackson-
ville, Fla. On account of increased du-
ties in connection with my personal affairs,
I find that I am not able to give the busi-
ness of the Standard Oil Company the at-
tention it requires, and for this reason I
decided some time ago that I would resign
my position with the company at the end
of the twenty-five years. I have accord-
ingly tendered my resignation as special
agent at Jacksonville, to take effect Aug-
ust 1st.
"Mr. W. W. Zachry, who has been my
assistant at Jacksonville for some time,
will succeed me, and I bespeak for him
a continuation of the good will and patron-
age of my friends and customers of the
company.
"I desire to thank you for the friendly
treatment extended me personally and as
a representative of the Standard (il Com-
pany. Trusting that the pleasant relations
heretofore existing will continue, I remain,
Very truly yours,

In conversation with Mr. Gerow, he said
to a representative of The Metropolis that
he felt as if he had given the Standard

best part of his life, and with the increas-

FROM ALABAMA.

another Ridiculous Story of Peonage
Comes From Alabama.
The following dispatch, sent out from
Pensacola, is another story, evidently hav-
ing its origin in the wild minds' of the
German immigrants who arrived there:
Pensacola, July 24.-Peonage is charged
against the Jackson Lumlwr ('onpany, of
Iicklhart, Ala.. hy a numbnlr of (ernmlan
workmen who reached here today from
that place.
For several days past Americans and
foreigners of the common laboring class
have been arriving in Pensacola from
Lockhart and relating tales of terrible suf-
fering and hardship, starving and beating,
that had been undergone at the lumber
camps, but so weird were these stories
that for some time no credence was placed
in them, but singularly each party or man
reaching here would tell almost the same
story, and relate the same incidents. The
mIost coherent of these stories was made
by Henry Rodenbeck, an American. who in
an interview said that he had seen the
I)soses in the wosos hold the foreigners
across a log and with a buggy whip beat
thenm uncercifully. This would le done be-
cause they. had either attempted to run
aray or else did not do their work satis-
factorily.

a 2M WrYINiDUSTEIAL ZRUORD.


I was out of work and a trip south at
this time looked good, I accepted. There
were twenty-four others and we left New
York for Lockhart, and all had been told
the same thing. Well, we arrived at our
destination and when we were ready to
start at our work we were told that we
would be paid only $1 per day. We also
found that the work expected of us was a
different class than represented, but we
nad to take it. None of us had a cent,
and we were in debt to the company for
transportation, so we had to make the
best of it. In the camp the food was very
poor, and the men were compelled to sleep
in railroad cars which were thickly pop-
ulated with lice.
Americans Treated Well.
"But we Americans were treated as an-
gels compared with the poor foreigners.
There were perhaps ninety or one hun-
dred of them who had been brought down
from New York about a month ahead of
us. I don't know what they were told
they were going to receive, but I do know
one thing, that if they had been dogs they
could not have been treated more inhu-
manely. The poor fellows did not under-
stand English, and therefore were slow to
do as they were told, frequently misun-
derstanding and doing the wrong thing,
and then they would get a lashing. They
were compelled to eat at the second table,


him. He was astonished, and with the
men we~tuo the United States authorities
where their stories of inhuman treatment
were repeated and sworn o, with the result
that warrants were issued for several of
tile parties named by the men. The Ger-
mans also stated that several other par-
ties of foreigners had made their escape,
going in other directions, and that all had
been treated alike. It is probable that
there will be further developments in the
case within the next two or three days, as
United States officers will leave here to-
night or tomorrow morning for Lockhart
to serve the warrants and the parties will
be brought here to give bond. The war-
rants charge peonage.
A Timely Observation.
In referring to the above dispatch, the
Live Oak Democrat makes the timely ob-
servation that the owners of sawmills and
the captains of industry in the South are
not men who would resort to or even
countenance such treatment of men. Very
truthfully the Democrat remianks that
fabrications of that character are doing
he South a great damage.

vice-consul, and laid their complaint before orange belt, which suffered so greatly


from the freeze of 1894-95, was the great-
est contributor, and soon Miami became
a city of shacks and tents, and her name
went abroad as the Magic City, the one
place in Florida where carpenters and ma-
sons could obtain work at good wages.
From the first day Mr. Flagler commenced
operations until the present there has been
one constant round of prosperity. In
July, 1896, Miami held her first election,
which made her a city, with mayor, alder-
men and marshal.
Artist and artisan combined their skill
to make a city beautiful. Hundreds of
thousands pouring forth to wage-earner
and manufacturer for residences, business
houses and general improvements.
Looking forward, not as an inspired
prophet, for the mind is guided into the
future by material things planned by the
hands of man, we are astounded by the
magic development of the Magic City.
Nothing has ever exceeded, or even ap-
proached among people, the impetus re-
cently given to the public and private
enterprise in the one-time Indian village
that has grown so amazingly. To this un-
precedented awakening of the highest civic
spirit, embracing the commercial activity,
is ascribed the certainty that Miami will
eventually and soon be more pleasing to
the eye than any habitat of the many,
seek where you may, and that wonderful
as it now is, surpassing in grandeur and
the prodigality of her achievements, com-
pleted and in prospect, marvels are to come
that today the mind only faintly grasps,
because of the bewildering promise.
Within the past two years over a mil-
lion and a half dollars have been spent in
homes and in business blocks alone, and
each year more and more of the men who
have made thousands in the West and
North come here to build their homes, and
live where life is at its fullest. Rocky
wastes, upon which only a few years ago
were scattered the shanties of the Semi-
nole, are now made into gardens of Eden,
and covered with monuments to men fa-
miliar to the world for their wealth and
works.
For proof of this feature of the city's
physical advancement one has only to con-
sult the following facts collected from
official sources, brought together to demon-
strate one element of Miami's astounding
greatness.
Miami is not dependent upon the great
influx of tourists who visit here each year.
While this clasc contributes largely to the
prosperity of the city, yet her main de-
pendence as a commercial center is from
the products of the soil Miami is located
in the center of the greatest vegetable-
growing portion of the State, and later
will become the greatest fruit producing
section of the United tSates. Thousands of
acres of pine land have been transformed
from pine forests to thrifty citrus and
tropical orchards, many of which have
come into bearing, proving beyond a reas-
onable doubt that the Biscayne Bay coun-
try is now the greatest fruit producing
section of Florida. The products from
field and orchard alone will insure a com-
mercial center of great importance. Dur-
ing the past year there have been two
powerful dredges plowing their way from
the great terminal wharf to the ocean.
Before another year rolls around Miami
will be connected with the Atlantic ocean
by eighteen feet of water, which will insure
commercial communication with the out-
side world. Steamship lines from New
York, Baltimore, Boston and other north-
ern points will be established; also from
South American points The islands of


the sea through this channel will con-
tribute to Miami's greatness as a commer-
cial center. Add these to the already
splendidly equipped Florida East Coast
Railway, and our greatness as the chief
commercial city of the South Atlantic
Coast is assured.
Already Miami has three lines of ocean
steamers; one to Nassau, one to Havana
and one to Key West, and a schooner line
to New York. The Miami route to Ha-
vana, being the shortest and most direct,
has become popular with the traveling
public.
Miami had, at the end of the last fiscal
year, fro twelve to fifteen miles of paved
streets. These pavements are constructed
of the natural rock which abounds in this
section. The streets are equal in every
way to the best paving in large cities. In
fact, Miami is known throughout the
length and breadth of the land as having
the finest paved streets of any city in the
South. During the past year many new
streets have been paved and the work is
being carried on as fast as possible. Not
only does the city of Miami boast of hav-
ing the best paved streets in Florida, but
the work of extending the same class of
roads through the country has been and
is being carried on at a rapid pace. Going
north there is a splendid hard-surface road
to West Palm Beach, a distance of seven-
ty-eight miles. This is one of the favor-
ite drives, both for carriages and automo-
biles. Going South, the hard-surface road
leads to Homestead, a distance of 30 miles,
passing the thrifty villages of Cocoanut
Grove, Larkin, Cutler and Perrine. To
the West there are several hard surface
roads that lead to the great vegetable
fields. During the past year many addi-

tions have been made and within a few
years this portion of Dade County will be
a complete network of hard-surface roads.
Manufacturing lterests.
The manufacturing interests in Miami
are beginning to develop and the weekly
pay from these establishments is an im-
portant factor in the building of Miami
on a permanent basis. Ritty Brothers
have a thoroughly up-to-date machine shop
and foundry and make all kinds of iron
and brass castings, doing all kinds of work
that is done in shops of like character in
the North.
In granting the charter to B. B. Tatum
and associates for a street railawy, pro-
vision was made for the establishment of
a large cigar factory employing not less
than 100 hands. It is probable that this
factory will be put in operation within
the next year.
Perhaps one of the most important man-
ufacturing plants that have been estab-
lished here during the year is the Miami
Sponge Mattress and Pillow Company.
This is practically a new industry and
one that bids fair to assume colossal pro-
portions within the next few years.
There is a good opening here for a fur-
niture factory, manufacturing only high-
class goods. Our hammocks abound with
the different varieties of woods which are
susceptible of the highest finish, equal in
every way to the real mahogany. There
are also good openings for saw and pla-
ing mills, sugar mills, palmetto fibre fac-
tories and other industries, all of which
would receive a cordial reception from the
citizens of Miami.
Miami is a cosmopolitan city, its in-
habitants have been gathered from all
portions of the United States and they
extend a hearty and cordial welcome to
all, regardless of religious or political af-
filiations.

School.
Miami has the largest public school on
the East Coast of Florida, the pupils num-
bering something over 500. The school
building is large and well ventilated, but
has proven too small to accommodate the
present enrollment. Last year a large ad-
dition was erected; but it has proven in-
adequate for the needs of the school. The
School Board has advertised for bids for
the building of another large addition to
the present building.
The Miami Conservatory of Music, un-
..er the direction of Prof. Franklin Cole-
man Bush, is one of the growing institu-
tionstions of our city. It has a full corps
of teachers, both in the instrumental and
vocal departments.
The Roman Catholics during the past
year have completed a large convent school
building on Eleventh street. The building
will accommodate fifty or more boarding
pupils. It is in charge of the Sisters of
St. Joseph. The structure is a very hand-
some one and is an ornament to the city.
There are several private schools in the
city.
Banking Facilitie.
There is no city in the United States
that can boast of better banking facili-
ties than the city of Miami. The first
banking institution opened here was the
Bank of Bay Biscayne, which opened for
business in 1806, with a capital of $25,000.
Later it was found necessary to increase
the capital, and another $25,000 was added.
Too much cannot be said in praise of the
management of this baqk and its liberal
policy, extended to its depositors and oth-
ers. It opened in the "formation period,"
while there was a great demand for cash,
and it met all the emergencies of this
period and has been a great factor in the
permanent building of the city and sur-
rounding country. William M. Brown or-
ganized the bank and was elected its first
president and has held that office con-
tinuously.
In 1902, The First National Bank was
organized and commenced business, erect-
ing a modern banking house at the corner
of Twelfth street and Avenue C, the build-
ing and fittings costing $18,500.
In the anme year the Fort Dallas Nat-
ional Bank was organized with Mr. William
M.. Brown as president, with a capital of

A LESSON TO THE OPERATORS.
Those operators who have been seeking
foreign labor during the time that the
labor conditions in this section have be-
come almost intolerable, ought to stop
and reflect before they bring foreigners to
the South.
The Record does not desire to discour-
age immigration this way. To the con-
trary, we would like to lead in an effort
to bring the tide this way. But if we are
to have laborers, let us have the best that
there are, and by all means guard against
the probabilities of the immigrants bring-
ing the charges of peonage against us.
This peonage law has been greatly abused
in the South. It is the wall of protec-
tion for the irresponsible laborer who
seeks to beat the manufacturer out of
what belongs to him. It has been an ex-
cellent dodge and unless the employers
of labor are careful it can be used against
them to great expense. From our obser-
vations it takes but little for the charge
to be lodged. As was the case here a few
days ago, there was just the bare suppo-
sition that a manufacturer was detaining
men against their will and still he was
held to answer to the grand jury, the
court commissioner ruling that the case
ought to be investigated by a higher au-
thority.
In dealing with foreigners the manufac-
turers ought to bear in mind that they
are dealing with a class who are not fa-
miliar with our customs and whose nat-
ural timidity leads them to believe that
if they owe their employer they are being
held by him until the debt is paid. When
they have been here for a few weeks and


leamriusf' little of our laws and enough
to know that they cannot be held for debt
here as they can in their own countries,
they are bent in many cases on making
their way from the camp. This being the
case, it behooves those employing this
class of labor to exercise the greatest
care in order that they are not to be
caught and brought into the courts at
great expense, to say nothing of what
they may lose by advances to these men.

E. P. THAGARD TALKS ABOUT THE
NAVAL STORES SITUATION.
Among the visitors to Jacksonville this
week was Mr. E. P. Thagard, formerly
secretary of the Naval Stores Export Com-
pany, who came on business connected with
his varied interests throughout the State.
Mr. Thagard stated to a representative
of the Industrial Record that he was
stoutly of the opinion that there would
have to be something done by the ope-
rators throughout the naval stores belt
to protect themselves against some of the
interests which are bent on forcing the
prices down. In referring to the matter
he said:
"The question is up to the operators.
While I am frank to state that it will be
a difficult matter to get them together, I
believe that unless this is done the price
of spirits is to go tumbling down and
the operators will find that they will be
working at a loss. There is a serious
problem confronting the operators. They
have got to do something, and I hope
that at the coming meeting of the opera-
tors there will be a successful effort made
to get together and work together for
mutual good. Every day that the pres-
ent state of affairs is permitted to exist
the interests who are working to the det-
riment of the operators are gaining ground
and are becoming strongly entrenched.
"I believe that it will be harder to get
the operators together now. We will miss
the late H. A. McEachern, who was the
great power in the conventions of the ope-
rators. It was his voice which had the
greatest weight and he was a man in whom
the operators had a great deal of confi-
dence. There are others who are out of
the business now, who were great powers
in the convention and who worked hard.
To take the places of these men, I do not
see who we can secure. Of course men
rise to meet the conditions, and while I am
a little pessimistic in reference to the
matter, I do hope that the operators will
take the only view that ought to be taken
in the matter and get together They are
losing money every day that they stand
apart. After the coming convention, I
hope that an effort will be made which
will result in more activity on the part of
the Association. We certainly need it."
Others: who were seen this week in ref-
erence to the approaching convention,
stated that they were of the opinion that
it would mean a great deal to the indus-
try. Factors here appears to see relief
from the present conditions in sight. They
state that there is a good foundation upon
which to work and claim that the opera-
tors will profit by their past experiences
and work together even more closely than
they did in the past.
From all parts of the naval stores belt
come letters of encouragement in connec-
tion with the approaching convention. The
drop in spirits below the fifty-seven cents
mark has had the effect, it is believed, to
arouse the operators and to give them a
realization of what the situation is and
what prevailing conditions mean to them
in the event that there is nothing done to


relieve them.
There is every indication that the com-
ing convention will be largely attended
and that there will be representatives
from all parts of the South here.

Cotton Crop Report.
Tallahassee, July 27.-The Florida de-
partment of agriculture, from reports re-
ceived from the cotton belt counties, today
sums up the condition of the cotton crop
in Florida as follows:
The comparative condition at present is
77 per cent. Grass is still troublesome,
scarcity of labor is marked and the far-
mers are still behind in cultivation of
crop. The crop has barely' held its own.
If the weather continues unfavorable, the
crop will fall at least 10 per cent below
last year. If the crop holds its own with
favorable season, it cannot possibly exceed
that of last year. If the weather should
continue unfavorable until the 10th or 15th
of August, much of the crop will be ruined
beyond recovery, and the yield will be much
less than last year.

IMMENSE CYPRESS MILLS.

Will Be Established in Lafayette County
by Wilson Cypress Co.
Mayo, July 27.-Messrs. A. E. and Her-
bert Wilson, of the Wilson Cypress Com-
pany, of Palatka, together with Messrs.
Rust and Owen, their engineers, have been
here since Wednesday. They are survey-
ing the location of the site of their im-
mense cypress mill, with the intention of
commencing work on the actual building
within a short time. Their location will be
on Half Moon lake, near the site of the
Georgia-Florida Mill Company's mill.
Mayo and Lafayette county are glad to
welcome such people as the Wilsons to the
community, for their reputation as "good
people" has preceded them.
Mr. W. E. Anderson, who has been with
the Georgia-Florida Mill Company for a
number of years, has given up his position
with them and has gone to Brunswiek.

Miners' Scale Signed.
Wheeling, W. Va., July 27.-The joint
convention of the miners and operators
of the eastern district signed a scale today
for two years, and operation will be re-
sumed within a week, giving employment
to 8,000 men who have been idle for
months.

Railway Rate Law.
Washington, July 27.-Chairman Martin
A. Knopp, of the interstate commerce
commission, on behalf of the commission
has directed a letter to all the railroad
companies and corporations of the United
States, directing their special attention to
section 6 of the recently enacted railroad
freight rate law.

Railroad Wreck.
Springfield, Mo., July 27.-Thirty per-
sons were injured, two of them fatally, in
the partial wreck of a westbound St. Louis
and San Francisco passenger train last
night. One coach turned over. It con-
tained about thirty passengers and none
of them escaped unhur.t

ead-On Collision.
Johnstown, Pa., July 27.-Four persons
were probably fatally injured and more
than two-score others were more or less
seriously injured in a head-on collision of
trolley cars on the Windber line of the
Johnston Passenger railway tonight.


EARTRQUA BE LOSSES.

Peoies in Pheix Royal Company Nul
and VoM.
San Francisco, July 24.-The Phoenix
Royal Insurance Company, of Vienna,
which carried about $2 00,000 insurance in
this city has decided not to pay any loss
growing out of the conflagration of last
April, it was announced today. The com;
pany's policies carried an earthquake
clause. In a notice issued by the delegates
sent from the home office, it is claimed
that all claims which have eben filed
against this company by reason of the
earthquake are invalid as all policies of
the company, it is asserted, became null
and void by said earthquake.

Steamboat Inspection
Washington, July 24.-Regulations of the
steamboat inspection service have been
amended in some particulars, most of the
amendments being purely administrative.
The regulations just promulgated provide,
however, that the masters of passenger
barges shall have to take out hereafter a
license from the government. Another of
the regulations provides for the nue in
life-saving work of a life-saving shoulder
gun, which will throw a line about 800
feet. This is to be used in some instances
in place of the cannon.

$100,000. In 1904 they completed the fin-
est banking house in the South at a cost
of $49,707.96. The building is located at
the corner of Twelfth street and Avenue
D. The individual deposits in these banks,
which are subject to check or draft, are
as follows:
Bank of Bay Biscayne .......... $340,000
First National ........... ..... 500,000

S When it is taken itno consideration that
ten years ago this whole country was a
wilderness, it is an astounding fact that
such an amount of money is on deposit and
subjet tcd draft or check at any time.
Two'years ago when we made our annual
report there was a total amount of depos-
its in the three banks of $681,791.16, mak-
ing the increase in deposits during the
past two years the enormous sum of $726,-

healthful state of the financial condition
of the city and surrounding country.

Paper Maker Strike.
Buffalo. N. Y., July 24.-Papermakers
in the thirty-three mills of the Internat-
ional Paper Company in the United States
and Canada, have given notice that will
go on strike on August 6, unless their
working hours are reduced to 8 hours per
day. The paper makers' union will hold a
meeting in New York on Monday to form
a plan of action. The International Paper
Company has been preparing for such a
situation.

Filipino Labor.
Manila, July. 24.-The Phillippine com-
mission has adopted a resolution favoring
tne scheme of the Hawaiian planters' asso-
ciation to transport Filipino laborers and
their families to Hawaii to work in the
sugar plantations. The commission has
authorized an agreement with the planters
on condition that the laborers be given
good treatment.


The labor problem is a serious one, and
is being felt in all parts of the country,
and this is especially true in regard to
domestic help. In Wauchula it is almost
impossible to get domestic help and the
family washing has become a serious prob-
lem. A good many people believe that
this hardship is especially felt in Wan-
chula because negroes are not allowed to
live here. We doubt if they would help
matters much. A gentleman recently told
us that one reason that one reason that
prompted him to move from Wauchula to
Bowling Green was because there were ne-
groes there, but in this he was fooled, as
the negroes wgre so indolent that he had
to depend on white field labor, and a white
woman is doing his washing.-Wauchula

keeping of a human being in a condition
of practical slavery, because of alleged
debt. The accused is S. H. Schwartz, who

conducts an employment agency here, and
it is charged that he was responsible for
the peonage of Benjamin Wilenski, a Rus-
sian, 50 years old.
The tale told by Wilenski is one of
alleged hardship and cruelty in the tur-
pentine camps of Florida, where, guarded
by giant negroes, he says he was forced
to work knee deep in stagnant water,
beaten and half starved and finally de-
prived of all his earnings.
All of this the employment agent denied
so far as he is concerned, claiming that
his responsibility ended with his employ-
ment of the men and their shipment to
Florida.
When arraigned Schwartz produced
three orders for 150 men. The orders were
written on the letterheads of "The Italian-
American Agricultural Association," of
Fifth avenue. The orders called Italian
and German men, and promised wages of
$1.40 and $1.50 per day, payable fortnight-
ly, for work in lumber camps. The order
blanks of Schwartz give Bishop Bonaven-
ture F. Broderick, of Staatsburg-on-the-
Hudson, as the employer.
Schwartz was held in $3,000 bail for
further examination.

CITY PROPERTY A SPECIALTY.


TO ERADICATE A MINING EVIL.
For the protection of the minig inves-
tors of the United States, the American
Mining Congress has established a bureau
or inquiry, through which information can
be obtained as to the condition of the prop-
erty and the standing of the company that
has asked or is asking for the money of
the investor.
The American Mining Congress is a nat-
ional organization of mining men, the di-
rectors of which are men of the highest
standing in their own states,.whose only
interest is the up-lifting of the mining in-
dustry. To this end, and among other
things, the organization is working for the
creation of a department of Mines and
Mining as a separate department of the
national government, and for the enact-
ment of laws in the various states making
the concealment or misrepresentation of
nay material fact concerning a mine upon
which a fraudulent sale of stock is predi-
cated a criminal offense.
In order that its Board of Directors
may be kept in touch with the general
sentiment of the mining world an annual
session is held to which delegates are sent
by the President of the United States,
the mayors of cities, and the commercial
bodies of America. At its permanent
headquarters at Denver, Colorado, under
the direction of its secretary a regular
force is constantly employed in carrying
on its work, no small part of which will
be the protection of investors against
mining frauds, to the end that mining
may be placed more and more on an in-
vestment rather than a speculative basis.
This Bureau of Inquiry will be abso-
lutely impartial in its findings, its sole
purpose being to prevent ill-advised mining
investments and to save the West from
the disgrace which follows dishonest min-
ing promotion.
In order to thoroughly eradicate fake
promotion, the American Mining Congress
is pledged to give to inquiring members
information absolutely unbiased, collected
from unprejudiced sources, largely its own
trusted correspondents, and to have but
one nend in view-the protection of the
investor, its belief being that every dollar
improperly invested is a damage to all
legitimate mining, and that the highest
good of the mining industry may be serv-
ed by warning investors against improper
investments and furnishing such informa-
tion as will guide them into channels which
give promise of success.


GEORGIA SOUTHERN & FLORIDA RY.
INTERCHANGEABLE MILEAGE.
Effective July 15th, 1906, the Georgia
Southern & Florida Railway will issue and

age. One ticket of 1,000 miles, to be sold

A drop of one-fourth of a cent in spirits
on Thursday at Savannah was the feature
of the market for naval stores for the
week. On the same day here the market
registered the same old figure of 57 cents,
the Naval Stores Export Company buying
at that figure and holding the price up for
the day, despite the fact that the early
reports from Savannah on Thursday were


th


and determined to hold prices up.
As to rosins, there was a sharp incli-
nation to advance, until Friday of this
week, when there came a slight reaction.
Friday the Savannah market led Jackson-
ville for nearly all of the grades by a con-
siderable margin, though for the week
Jacksonville had been slightly ahead of
Savannah. The fact that there have been

at the market had dropped. Thle fol- two steamers loading at Fernandina and


lowing day there was a decline of one-
eighth of a cent here, with was one-eighth
of a cent above the Savannah market.
A general discussion of the conditions
this week led to the general opinion that
there was to be a further decline in the
price of spirits and that they would fall
until the operators again got together


that they have drawn heavily on Jackson-
ville for their cargoes led to the prices
remaining good here for the week.
There is a general opinion in trading
circles that rosin is to decline and that
it will follow spirits in this respect to a
limited degree at least.

IT MOVES WHEN YOU DO.


THE STATE FAIR.
The State Fair, which is to be held at
Tampa November 14th to 29th, will eclipse
in every feature the Fair of last year,
which proved superior to any State Fair
ever held in the South. President Brown,
in order to place all counties on an equal
basis as regards exhibits and awards, has
decided upon this excellent plan: The
State will be divided into four divisions-
West Florida. East Florida, Middle Flor-
ida and South Florida. The counties in
these sections will compete among them-
selves for the honor of becoming the ban-
ner county of their respective sections, for
which a handsome banner and a cash prize
of $500 will be given the winner. The four
winners will compete for the grand prize of
$1.000, and the winner will be designated
as the banner county of the State. This
plan is necessary by reason of the fact
that the vast area of Florida makes the
products so diversified that a county in
one section cannot well compete with a
county in another section. The counties
will be divided as follows::
West Florida-Escambia. Santa Rosa,
Walton. Holmes, Jackson, Washington,
('alhoun, Liberty. Franklin, Gadsden, Wa-
kulla. Leon, Jefferson, Madison, Taylor,
Hamilton, Suwannee, Lafayette, Columbia,
Baker. Middle Florida-Nassau. Duval.
(lay, Bradford, Alachua, Levy, Putnam,
Marion. Dade, Sumter. Citrus. East Flor-
ida-St. Johns, Brevard. St. Lucie, Dade,
Monroe. South Florida--Le;, DeSoto, Man-
atee, Polk Hernando, Pasco, Hillsborough,
Osceola, Orange.

NEARING COMPLETION.

The First American Built Vessel for Bue-
nos Ayrev, South America.
The Merrill-Stevens Shipbuilding COm-
pany will soon bear the distinction of
turning out the first American built boat
to be used in the harbor of Buenos Ayres,
Argentine Republic, South America.
This vessel, the Jose Padre, is nearing
completion in the shipyards. Her boilers
have been installed and the electric wiring
is now being completed.
It was announced yesterday that the
work on the Jose Padre would be com-
pleted in two weeks and she would be
ready to proceed to her foreign home
port. This vessel is being built for Wil-
liam E. Peck & Co.. of New York and
will be used in the cattle trade.
The Jose l'adre, when completed, will be
a first-class. sea-going steamer in every
particular. She is well constructed, has a
steel hull and every convenience known
to the maritime %world.

THE WFIEKLY INDUSTILIAL RBOORD.









THE WEEKLY INDUSTRIAL RECORD. 17


NOVEL UTILIZATION OF FIRE-KILLED
TIMBH.L
Although it has been known for a num-
ber of years that fire-killed timber has a
considerable value in railroad and mining
operations in Colorado, it has been brought
out only recently by the forest service that
a wide number of uses are open for this
timber, and that in certain respects it has
actual advantages over green wood.
These facts are deducted from a study
of conditions on the Pike's Peak forest
reserve, where the ravages of fire have
been particularly widespread and destrue-
tive. In many instances the burned tim-
ber is the only kind available at a par-
ticular point, for example, in proximity to
a mine or a spur of railroad, so for tim-
bers and ties the dead material has been
used for many years-15 years at Palmer
* Lake, seven years at Florissant for rail-
road ties, and longer than this for mine
timbers. Three years ago it was first used
for box boards, and has proved excellent.
In May, 1905, there was a sale for tele-
phone poles.
The species used are red fir, yellow pine,
lodgepole pine, limber pine, range pine,
pinon, Engelmann spruce, and blue spruce.
Of these, the pines, red fir and Engelmann
spruce furnish the bulk of the material.
Time elapsed since burning seems to make
no great difference in the value of the
wood, except that when serious checking
results it loses its value for box purposes.
The timber used has been burned all the
way front three to fifty-five years.
The amount of this timber which has
been used is very considerable. There has
been one sale from the reserve for box
boards and one for telephone poles, but
the three main uses continue to be for
mine timbers, railroad ties and firewood.
Red fir is preferred for railroad ties,
then yellow pine, limber pine. and range
pine. White pine has been objected to be-
cause of its lack of durability, but it is
now taken in many places. At Rosemont,
Colo., burned timber of all kinds is made
into ties, some of the material having been
burned 50 years ago. It is asserted that
dry ties last as long as green ties and in
many cases longer. On the Cripple Creek
short line they were more satisfactory
than green pine ties from Texas. Dry ties
hold a spike well, and a tie platt does not
cut into the wood so seriously as it does in
the case of green wood. English spruce
is as good as other species as far as wear
is concerned, but it decays much quicker
and so should be given a preservative
treatment.
Burned timber was first used for boxes
by the Denver Crate and Box Co. in 1903,
the species used being Einglishman Spruce
and lodgepole pine, with some red fir and
limber pine. The material used had been
burned from one and one-half to four
years. The Engelmann spruce was excel-
lent, and the lodgepole pine also gave good
Results. The fire seasoning had driven the


odor out of the pine so that it could be
used for packing crackers and biscuits.
Also on account of the perfect seasoning
the boxes remained tight when put up and
therefore sold better than green boxes.
For mine timbers all species are used,
if of the requisite size. Dry timber is pre-
ferred because of its lightness, durability
and stiffness, all principally due to its bet-
ter seasoning.
For many purposes fire-killed timber
should be preferred to green timber be-
cause it is so well seasoned. This season-
ing makes it more durable than green tim-
ber, and also makes it lighter, so that its
cost of transportation is appreciably less.
and it is therefore available, not only for
numerous local uses, but for shipping long
distances. Actual experience with the fire-
killed timber proves that its utilization
should be a source of profit to the reserve.

A BIG TIMBER DEAL.

W. B. Phifer Prchases Fine Body of Land
on Lochloos Lake.
W. B. Phifer, the naval stores operator
of Rochelle and Grove Park, evidently in-
tends to extend his interests, as he has
purchased through a real estate firm in
this city a body of fine timber on Loch-
loosa lake, embracing 3,500 acres, for which
it is understood he paid $10,000.
Mr. Phifer has been quite successful in
the manufacture of naval stores. He own-
ed and operated for several years an ex-
tensive place at Abbott, South Florida, and
after disposing of same purchased the
places at Rochelle and Grove Park. He
has associated with him at Grove Park S.
F. Waits.

LANDS SOLD TO M'GEE.

One Hundred Thousand Dollar Deal Near
Seneca.
Seneca, July 26.-The greatest land deal
yet on record for Lake county has just
been effected here. The turpentine and
timber firm of D. R. Henderson & Co. have
just sold their holdings to a Mr. McGee
and his associates for $100,000.
The property consists of 27.500 acres
good turpentine lands, extending from
Unmatillar around Seneca to near Eustis
and Sorrento. There are two commissary
teams, and the whole in full operation.
In an interview with the Times-Union
correspondent Tuesday, Mr. Henderson
said that he was well satisfied with the
profits from the busiliess, and that the
sale was at a good advance over what he
paid only a year ago.
The purchasers are mill men, and will
stores and quarters for employees and
soon move their plant to their new pur-
chase.
Mr. Henderson is as yet undecided wheth-
er he will reinvest here or not.

BILLION BUSHEL CROP OF WHEAT IS
PROMISED.
Chicago, July 24.-This is the period in
the crop year when the owner of wheat
is at a disadvantage and the prospective
buyer has things his own way. Plentiful
supplies of winter wheat are a reality,
and still more plentiful supplies of spring
wheat a dreaded anticipation. The mer-
chant, investor or speculator who can cor-
rectly analyze the possibilities of the sit-
uation has great opportunities before him.
The domestic merchandiser feels safe as
long as he can hedge by sales to specula-
tors against his cash grain purchases from
producers. Until recently he has been
content to put the bulk of the pressure on
the speculative buyer, and has not been
making bargain prices to the foreign buy-
er. The investor would like to find an
opportunity to take on wheat of the
fine quality of the present crop if he could
pick the time when the full force of all
the bearish conditions have been felt. The
speculator is willing to follow the market
drift in either direction and looks from
day to day for the influence that will be
moat immediately effective.
Milling interests in the country have
been content with recent prices, and as a
rule, have been buying in a more or less
liberal way. The greater number of win-
ter wheat millers have had plentiful sup-
plies. In addition to this supplying of mil-
lers, there has been a remarkably large
surplus left for the large centers of ac-
cumulation for home or foreign merchan-
ddising later in the crop year.
Wheat Yield is Abundant.
There is no question now that there will
be an abundant yield of wheat. The re-
ports of the prevalence of blac krust in
the Northwest, while true to a certain
extent, were exaggerated. An expert de-
clares that the Northwest wheat crop will
be safe in 10 days or two weeks at the
latest. The present promise is for an enor-
mous yield. Only a calamity can change
the result, and there are no unfavorable
conditions yet. If the crop matures the
railroads will be taxed to their utmost
capacity to handle the grain.
The United States and Canada have the
promise of nearly a billion bushels of
wheat. No such outlook has ever been in
prospect on the American continent. It
should be a great year for manufacturers,
railroaders, retailers and farmers. While
black rust has appeared, it is only in
spots, and is not spreading. The same
conditions existed last year when a big
crop was harvested. It is predicted that
South Dakota will break all records in
wheat and corn. Cutting the grain will be
general in the Jim River Valley by Aug.
1.
With the prospects for a tremendous
supply of wheat, millers are looking for-
ward to a big year in flour trade. The
wheat arriving at the mills from the win-
ter districts is conceded to be the finest
quality ever marketed and millers declare
it will take less of it to make a barrel
of flour than ever before. With such a
fine quality of grain, it is hoped to regain
some of the flour trade lost in the last
few years by the prevailing high prices.
In consequence of the extremely low price


of wheat and the excellent quality of flour,
there should be a big increase in the do-
mestic consumption.
Threshing returns from the hard winter
wheat crops of Kansas and Nebraska show
an unusually high average yield to the
acre, and an exceptionally heavy test
weight a bushel. Larger yields of wheat
than were harvested last year are indicated
in both States.
Foreign Crops Damaged.
Advices from Russia are still unsatis-
factory as regards wheat and the financial
condition. Heavy rains have done consid-
erable damage and it is reported that ow-
ing to the political situation, farmers are
likely to lose their entire crop because of
inability to harvest. Another thing which
will help the American trade is that the
crop in Argentina may be damaged, as
locusts have appeared in the northern dis-
tricts, eating the early plants, and there
is danger of the roots being attacked. The
supply is small and holders are unwilling
to sell.
A reason now advanced for the low price
of wheat is that considerable with is be-
ing placed in the opinion that should this
country sell a large amount of wheat for
export next year, which now seems possi-
ble, there will be a substantial advance in
values. This is doubted, however, unless
some of America's large competitors, like
Russia or Argentina, drop completely out
of the export business.
Conditions for corn in the WVest have
been excellent for the last week, and with
continued rains and hot weather, a hig
crop will surely result. There was a little
anxiety felt, for several weeks over the
conditions in Illinois, but farmers are now
in a more optimistic frame of mind. Lib-
eral purchases have been made in Nebras-
ka and it begins to look as if the move-
ment East had started. Western markets
are daily shipping more than they receive.
The Argentine supply for the week was 1,-
000,000 bushels short of last year.
A stronger market for oats is looked for,
as news comes from the northwest that
the yield will be from 40 to 60 bushels to
the acre. Illinois oats have reached this
market and average *29 pounds to the
bushel.

LABOR STATISTICIANS.
Boston, July 24.-Labor bureau statisti-
cians, headed by Charles P. Neill, chief of
the bureau of labor statistics of Washing-
ton, assembled today in the Senate cham-
ber of the Massachusetts state house for
their twenty-second annual convention.
Charles P. Neill, head of the bureau of
labor statistics, presided.
Gov. Guild, in an address of welcome,
said:
"The steady improvement in communica-
tion and transportation is making it more
and more imperative that legislation affect-
:ng industry should be uniform through-
out the country. It is of small avail to
stamp out stock watering in Massachu-
s tts if what is a crime in Massachusetts is
to continue in New Jersey. Healthy com-
petition between New York and Georgia
is impossible as long as textiles spun and
woven by adults in the North are forced
to compete with textiles spun and woven
by little children in the South."
