A Few More Left,
To the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor Of the Press:
In your issue of the IA inst. it was said that
the ''Sole Survivors of the Old Portland
Rifle Corps, celebrated the anniversary of
the company, etc. Probably the writer was
not aware that there are few more among
the survivors who are not pleased at being
put under the sod so tremendously just yet
Among these few old veterans of the corps,
who still live,we find Andrew Scott in Flush
ing, n. Y, Charles Lord in Calais, Me-,
Charles P. Illsley in Cambridge, Mass, VIM.
Gould in Windham, and VIM. d. Little in
this city. Possibly there may be others,
who cherish the memory of former anniver-
sary occasions at Moody's and Morehead's
where good cheer, hilarity and concord pre-
vailed. ONE OF THE Few.

Deep Mining.



The subject of deep mining is be-
coming one of absorbing interest to
the thoughtful of this region. a set
tied conviction has rested upon the
minds of the operative miner of this
section of country from away back in
the beginning, that away down deep
much larger and more broadly diff
fused bodies of mineral ores would be
found than near the surface. How
the conviction came has not been
inquired after. Everyone knows that
it exists, and if the inquiry be made
it will be found that reason exists
for such belief. The wise man never
ridicules the settled conviction of a
considerable number of reasonably in
telligent men. who all agree upon a
settled opinion. The Cornish miner
whose life has been spent hundreds
of fathoms below the surface. and
away out in drifts far under the ocean
| bed, has learned things that the
wisest surface geologist is ignorant
of. This knowledge he brings with
| him to this country, and after years
! of observation Ond examination he
unhesltatingly decides. that far below
the surface large bodies of more yalu-
able ores than lead will be found
| The unequalled fertility of our soil
for producing crop results is SO great
that the man of moderate capital is
content to look to corn and cattle as
his contribution to the, industries
rather than to the more expensive ex.
periments of deep mining.
The early settlers of a new countr,
are always rich in enterprise, but
poor in worlds goods. The people OF
this country are the early settlers anC
their descendants, together with the
| farming class, that our agriculture
resources have attracted here. Hence
the mining interest has been passed
over us thing of the future.
But now the subject is agitated. Il
has been reserved for a woman tC
awaken deep interest on this subject
Accidentally thrown in our midst
and amazed at the unanimity of opin
ion among all classes of mining PEG
pie, that deep mining would produce
great results, she has directed the at
tention of capitalists at the east tC
this subject. Strengthened by the
opinion of the best biologists it is be
lieved that she is about to inauguratt
a system of deep mining here in
ShullSburg, that we with other men
whom we regard as thinking men, be.
lieve will develop the richest mining

There is no man in congress who is
more liberal with the public money
than Senator Blair, of New Hamp-
shire. He has set his heart upon a
system of national education which
would cost between scventy-fye and
eighty millions of dollars annually;
and every subsidy scheme, no matter
Of what nature, has his earnest sup
port And when it comes To pension
Legislation his liberality of soul is dis
played in its full grandeur. His vote
and private pension bill In fact he
supports pension legislation upon gene
raj principles, and no doubt as to the
validity Of claims ever troubles his
mind. When President Cleveland had
the hardihood to veto number of
the most llagrantIy unjust private pen
sion bills, the anger of Senator Blair
was kindlcd, and the manner in which
he poured out the Walls of his wrath
upon the unprotected head of the pres
idcnt was a caution to all future eX-
ecutiyes never to question the wisdom
Of congress IN pension matters.
II would naturally be supposed that
a man who displays such unstintcd
llbcrality i'll public way rs does Sen
ator Blair, would also be liberal or at
least fair and upright in private life.
But the facts do not bear out any such
conclusion senator Blair is also law
yer Blair, and before entering the sen
ate hc secured a pension for poor
widow, by name Mrs. Hannah I.add.
For this service he charged very exor-
bitant fees, and more recently suit was
brought against The widow, and her
property attached to satisfy a Judge
ment secured. For this disgraceful
transaction Senator Blair has recently
been hauled over the Goals, and prob
ably he will not figure SO prominently
in congress for some time to come.
There are many men in congress who
are over liberal with the people
money. II would be well to apply to
more of them the test which has Just
been applied to the liberal man from
New Hampshire with such startling
effect
