Sleighinr, after lasting 12S days, has CIV
en- up the ghost and is among the things that

to some snow drifts, but these are fast dis

Work has been temporarily suspended on

The contractors deny that there are any such
negotiations going on.
Gossip is also busy in reference to lot of
garden pcasc that have been shipped to this
county by j. Buck & Son of Boston to SOW
Tor them. One Of the firm was on here last
Fall and contracted with number of the
farmers to SOW these peas for him, offering
to pay them in the Fall S1.50 per bushel Tor
what they raised. Some have agreed to sow
as many as 70 bushels. The seed arrived
about month ago and a recent examination
of them revealed the fact that they received
more than they bargaincd for as large
There is considerable fear that these may be-
comca pest and destroy the field pease, of
which large quantities arc raised in this sec
ton. One party thought they, the peas,
might be good for pea soup, aud after care
fully looking over mess, before they knew
OF their contents, they placed them in the
kettle to boil. They soon discovered that it
would not be nccessaryto put any meat in the
pcasc as the top Of the water was covered
with the bugs 1t is thought by many that
this is the first appearance of this hug, but
most Of the garden peas sold last Spring
were infested with them. The bug, if it
may lie SO called, is about one-third as large
as Il common fly and is thought by many TO
be the pea weevil. 1t has wings and is said
to leave the pea soou after sowing and to de-
post It's egg in the blossom of the pea. AS
it is a comparative stranger to us we would
be thankful TO any of the readers of the
FREE Press that are acquainted with this
insect if they would give us history of it
before we get more thorough introduction
TO it.

Joe WEIGH, who took contract from
the Elmira company to run tunnel on
the Wolverine ledge, east extension OF
the Crown Point, struck six or eight
inch vein of pay ore the other day, after
running seventeen feet. The vein IS
four feet wide. Assays have been made
of ore from the pay semitic lowest
running $50 per ton and the highest
1888 The strike was made about fifty
feet from the line of the Grown Point
and at the depth of three hundred feet.
The Elmira company three or four
years ago ran a drift 80 or so feet east
from the main tunnel of the Crown
Point without striking pay ore, and it
was in the face of this DRIFT where
Welch commenced work. The Grown
Point was worked by the Elmirn COM
pany in 1879. and that summer the mine
yielded $101 600. Eleven hundred tons
of ore were put through the mill, so il
went little over 1911 per ton. 1t was
believed thst the pay chute extended on
east, and that where they drifted was
nothing more than barren spot in the
ledge, and that by running ahead pay
ore would be reached, and that belle
has been verified World.
