DEAR SIR Within the past few months the
several corporation engaged in constructing line
ofrailway from Portland, Me-, to Lake Champlain
in the town of SwantOn, Vt, have been practically
consolidated and such financial arrangements have
been made as will ensure the speedy completion
and equipment of the line. In these arran gements
provision has been made for aiding in the construc
ton Of a railroad from our line in the LamOille
Valley to Burlington, as we believe such a connec-
ton would build up considerable through business
between your city and Portland especially in those
kinds of lumber now carried by rail from Montreal,
and in iron, salt and other heavy goods, moying
East.
Years ago Burlington was the port at which.
or through which, marketed nearly the
trade proved OF great ADJ ,ntage to you, and
contributed not a little Ia he early prosperity Of
YOUR city. The people ol NOrthcastern Vermont
are anxious To re-establsh those business relations
bat see no way that II can he done, except by the
construction OF a railroad direct 10 Burlington. |
am sure your citizens cannot be insensible to the
advantages OF such road and believe Il they
would give the matter little consideration they
would heartily unite with the towns along the line
in securing its early completion.
Surveys and estimates have already been made of
most Of the route. II you could examine these and
should find that such a road could Toe easily, quick-
Is and cheaply constructed, and by visiting the
towns along the line, ascertain the feeling that OK
sts in regard to this enterprise am confident YOU
would heartily favor il.
II your own time l. too much occupied 10 permit
your doing this can you not arrange to have some
other person persons in your city, in whose
opinions and Judgment your citizens would have
confidence, examine this matter and repsrt.
The uppoftune moment for accompli shinr To 3
work seems 10 he now at hand, and So favorable an
opportunity may not again occur IN many years

NEW SASH, DOOR AND MOULDING MILL I


Nh" SASH, DOOR AND MOULDING MILL OF
WALKER HATCH.
We are glad, in a time not of great
general activity in business, to chronicle
the starting of a new manufacturing enter
prise in Burlington. Messrs. David
Walker and d. f. Hatch. already known to
many -four citizens, have recently formed
partnership for the manufacture of doors,
sash, blinds, mouldings, scroll work and
house finish, of superior quality, for Gus
ton work. They have taken, for this ,pur-
pose, large portion of the upper story of
the new mill in the Cove. the lower story of
which is occupied by Mathews 4 Davis
This they have filled with new
machinery, specially adapted for their
purpose. Among their machines are
new Daniels planer. with the latest i'm
provements, including dead weight" for
planning thin stuff common planer mould
ing machine of latest and best kind, cutting
four faces at once; shaping machine. with
two cutters, for cutting moulded edges in
irregular shapes; tenoning machine; i'm
proved morti.ing machine buzz and scroll
saws, etc. All these machines are of the
best quality, Of the well-known make Of
Ball * Co., of Worcester. Mass, with the
exception of planer made by Wright, of
Montpelier These machines. with one or
two to be added in few days, give the con
cern every facility for doing the best work
IN the promptest and most approved style.
\ large elevator, which l. about to be put
IN. will remove most of the Inconvenience
OF being on the second story. Sheds below
give ample storing room for lumber. of
which the proprietors have now large
stock in store of choice black walnut, pine.
etc. Mr.. Walker, Of the firm, has had
ten or dozen years experience in the bust
ness, with f. ". Chase of this city and in
one Of the best Western mills. 1t Is their
intention to employ only the best workmen,
and to maintain reputation for superior
work. Among the first jobs from their
mill Is an elegant black walnut counter,
with carved brackets. now being put up in
the Van Ness House, of which we may
speak another day. As this new firm thus
combines experience, enterprise and in
dustry, with ample facilities, We can not
doubt that they will command success

elsewhere. who gladly contributed the ne

marble stone, erected by his surviving com
rades, marks the grave of poor Stoughton.

The tunnel will pass about ten feet un.

found. The ground is known to be very
rich and in early days paid immensely
with but twenty or thirty inches of water.
When the present owners get to work
with l50 inches of water they expect to
lay bare to the bedrock the whole side of
the hill. Thus will doubtless be dis
covered some very rich pockets OF quartz.
They expect to be ready to commence

IN the banks Of the ravine, wherever it
will not interfere with the rights of the

hcient gold to pay for working, there
must at least be. in places along Six-mile

The Virginia Enterprise, of the l1th
says: We are Informed that the owners
OF the ledge in which gold-bearing quartz
OF extraordinary richness was struck a
few days since have. at greater depth,
struck still richer rock than that at first
found. 1t will be remembered that the
first rich quartz found in the mine was
just after passing through the east clay,
the shaft then being about 20 feet in
depth. The rich streak was two or three
feet in thickness, the rock below being
of an ordinary character. The men con-
tinued to sink upon the vein, which
pitches to the east, for the purpose of
passing through it. Evening before last,
however, at the depth of about ten feet,
they came into quartz exceedingly rich
in free gold. Having such rock on both
sides Of their lead is good indication of
the deposit proving extensive and perma-
nent. Mr.. Wardell informed us that one
II ,.of quartz shown him, about the
snow his thumb. must have contained
cause,. half an ounce OF gold. The crop
the p, of the ledge are very large, and are
concrsed to indicate a chimney at the
the ~ where the shaft is sunk. The peo.
re of Silver City feel pretty confident
that the new strike is one of great value
