OHIO, THURSDAY, AUQUST 1907. The Ouly Paper In th Oonnty Circulation 3000 One DolUr Pet Yr Vr 'mur? JM rB -r jm imitm h. i S1 i Hi li MINING STOCKS. Professor Martin and Mr, Elliott Here For a Few Days. Mention was made In our last week's issuapf the presence in our city of Prof.

Albert S. Martin, who is visiting his brother, Probate Judge Martin and his bister, Mrs. Adcook. Mention was alao made that he was hore in the interest of some gold minning properties, but owing to the fact that the paner was going to press at once prevented any particulars being presented. Mr.

Martin was asked to state to his old friends of Ilockihg County something about these roperties for this lesue, and be furnishes the following: To begin with, let me correct an erronious impression that your reporter got in our hurried interview last week, viz. 'Die properties we represent ure not "leased mines" but aro owned and controlled by ourselves, so that every stockholder has his pro rata interest in the property and is assured of protection by the management. And here let me Bay to my old friends aud to all who know the reputation of the Martin" family for three generations that you may rest assured that I would rather be anathenia.than to be the first one of the to caet reproach upon my kindred and bietheiu by coming heie and ou the strength of that reputation selling a worthless aiuning stock or one that was problematical. Twenty-five years residence in a mining state has taught me to be extremely cautio'ue about mining investments. In fact my fathers' sajingthathe knew more about the top of the ground than its interiprjias been my guide' so far and shall continue to be.

At the same time, clean, legitimate min ing is one of the best occupations. in the world. Two elements eutei into thatkind of mining, th ough, that are hard to get in one combination, namely, an absolutely honest management and a good property. Consequently you may rest assured that I satisfied myself thoioughly as to these factors before investing, myself, or inviting those who trust me to do so. Mr.

Short, the chief owner, I have known since he was sixteen years old, or Bince 1881. We were in the academy there teaching and camping out together for ten years, or more, and for the past ten "years we have met occasionally as he was in the city from his mining properties over near the Nevada state line, where he gone determined to carve a fortune foi himself fiom the granite hills. Mr, Elliot, who is in Logan with me, and is the next heaviest stockholder in the companies, joined Mr. Short four years ago. He, two, is a man of charaetet aud standing is good example of the American of today who is not afraid of hardship and toil.

The history of the stiuggles ond privations of those two youug meu and their brave wives who voluntarily isolated themselves from all the comforts and conveniences of life makes one of the interesting stories of western life, which I havu time to tell here. Suffice is to say that they have and are preparing to develop some of the largest and best gold mill's in the country. We are uut here aH mining promoters, bnt as owners who have "made good" as we say in the west, and who ure placing small blook of stock among friends in nrder to more fully equip and develop "these properties, We have uever advertised our stocks nor hired promoters. The stool; already sold has not gone to strangers and speculators but to friends aud acquaintances of the owners. I shall not see many of my friends here this trip as tin- time is limited and our purpose' praoti gaily accomplished, but to one and all I merely say, "Watch Gold Springs mining properties grow." Here arc the rinmes of some of thorn; "Jonnlo," Wirdtrlsh" and "Jennie Extention," Olentangy Park.

Olentangy Park, Theatre and Zoological Garden, the big Columbus amusament resort, is now open for the Benson of 1907, and is "bigger and better than ever." Numerous new attractions have been installed this year, and visitors are fairly bewildered by the variety and magnitude of the entertainment offered. The new Dancing Pavilion at Olentangy this year will be the largest aud finest in the State. Free out-door attractions are presented each w.eek, and Powell's Big Union Band, of 80 musicians, give free concerts every afternoon and evening. The Zoological Garden, Museum of Ornithology, Japanese Village and Gypsy Camp aro also free. Superb productions twice daily are presented in the theatre.

Riggs Rough Riders are also giving a big open air Wild West show every afternoon and evening. This organization carries 75 Indians, cowboys and rancH girls, with over 50 horses, and present an exciting reproduction of life on the plains. These special attractions, in addition to the other numerous amusements, will make Olentangy Park-the feremost amucempjit resort in the entire country, and a visit to this Faik will be almost equal to the World's Fair tiip.

THE FAI PROMISE! To Be a Great Success This Year. We illustrate here Mr. Mack's famous standard bred race and trick horses, Fred Mack and Barnum Mack, which will form one of the chief attractions at the Hooking County Fair next week, August 8, 0, and 10. The horses are widely known, and cannoffail to prove a source of enjoyment to all attending the fair.

Fred Mack has a record of 2:14 and Barnum one. of 2:19. They are handled and driven by Mr. Mack, and a free performance will be given daily in front of the grand-stand, between heats. In the matter of horses aud rac ing the prospects this year are brilliant indeed.

Mr. S. S. Ruble, assistant secretary of the association and in. special charge of the ggejed returned earl' this week from a trip to Columbus and Newark, with the assurance of at least four good horses from the former city, and seven from the latter.

He is now in Portsmouth, from which place two carloads of horses will be shipped to Logan next week. Indications generally are for the best fair we have ever had in the county. Conditions are more favorable now than at this season last year. A number of entries "of show stock are already offered, and many more are in immediate prospect. In this connection we may say that Wednesday, Aug.

7, is really the opening day of- the fair, and the time when the people are expeoted to bring in their ex hibits and avoid the rush. Early application for entries will greatly facilitate mutters both for the public and the association. The entry books are now open at Squire Murphy's office, in the James Blook, where they will ie- South Perry. Mr. W.

A great array of concessions have been sold for the fair, including many tha't will form attractive featmes of the event, such as shows and other creditable Good music has been engaged for all three days, and- will add to the interest.

For the convenience and information of the public, we announce that membership tickets of the association will be on sale to residents of the county on the same terms as last year. One of these tickets coats a dollar, and entitles the owner to four fair admissions and a vote in the election of officers of the association. It should be mentioned also, that the eutrauces to the fair have been changed somewhat. A special gute for rigs and horses has heen built at the east end of the ground, and all ligs entering the grounds miiBt do so at this gate, as things are so arranged that they cannot be driven over the hill from the main entrance as heretofore. Commodious hitching racks haye been constructed ins the east part of the grounds, and this arrangement will add materially to thVcomfort of visitors.

Tickets will be on sale at both the east and west gates, and at the railroad entrance, on the south side. For the convenience of the town people, a shuttle train will run between Logan and the grounds Thursday afternoon, Friday afternoon and all day Saturday. A nuinbar of improvements have been made at the grounds, including construction of new accommodations for hordes and other stock. The board has exerted "itself to prepare a good place of entertainment for our people this year. It now lemaina for each individual show his appreciation and good will to the enterprise by personal attendance and personal boosting.

If there is any one thing that merits your support more than all else in county matters, it is the county fair.

They Tell Stories of Relief From Rheumatism and Catarrh. With an unusual record behind it the sale of the Quaker Remedies have boon started in the closing week and the predictions made by the Quaker Doctors when they first came to Logan, that before their visit ended many people would speak in praise of their remedies and methods, apparently are being fulfilled. In the abort time the Quaker Doctors have been in Logan, large numbers of people have called to see them and many interesting stories have come to light daily. Among those who called yesterday to tell about their experience were Mrs. Thos.

Davis whose husband had Rheumatism i'oi over six months, had tried almost every medicine he saw advertised and touk treatment from several physicians, but all failed to relieve him. She says, "I was told of the wonderful effects of the Quaker Remedies und bought a package, the effects were almost instantane-sus and my husband now cannot speak too highly of the Quaker Remedies." Mrs. Rosa Miller, who lives on the Rural Route, said, "I had Catarrh of the throat and stomach for the last three years. In the morning I would feel faint and dizzy-and-sick at my stomach- as if I would vomit. After taking one package of your Quaker Remedy these symptoms have been removed and I feel strong again," The old Quaker Doctor, when seen last night at the Ambrose Hotel, said he was greatly pleased with the praise he has received here as in other cities and expects to make his last week in Logan the banner week of bis visit.

Al II. Tyrell, "that phuuny pheller," with John W. Vogel's Big City Minstrels, which appears at the Opera House, Ftiday, August 9, Is a wonder. Mr. Tyrrell is unique as a monologue artist, and he possesses a singing voice of much clarity and sweetness, something very few in his special line of stage work enjoy.

He is as clever as the best and performs it with much more ease than any other performer in his line. He responds to his encores and exhnusts his responses to the audience. Wherever Mr. Tyrrell appears he wins a loyal clientele. Sunday-School Day, Lancaster Camp Grounds, Tuesday, August 13, 1907.

It is further understood, in the event that two or more schools send the same maximum per cent of attendance on this day, the flag is to go to the "tieing" school sending the largest number present for the reason that it requires greater effort to secure the attendance of many than of a few.

Not only must the superintendent leport the number of persons holding or teaching in his Sundaj-school.
