Clark Bigelow mines, who was commits
stoned to visit the Santa Fe and report
thereon. 1t reads:
OpECHEE, July 4, 1890.
A. S. Bigelow-Dear Sir: l could not
sooner refer to Santa Fe matters, nor
have I now the disposition to give you a
detailed report on the mine. Regret that
nv former letter on same mine is
not available, but will, think, be able to
make YOU understand the situation. The
course of the lore body "pipe," Glen
ticular bonanza" whichever you choose
to call it, is very nearly east and west,
the incline shaft being sunk to follow it.
Very little exploratory work was ever
done beyond the lines of good ore, low
grade material being practically worthless.
The two flats or beds worked grew more
silicious as depth was attained, rich
ore being in smaller masses, but it does
not follow that this is apermanent condl-
ton. What brought about the collapse
OF the institution was the encountering of
the "fault," "wall," or "6ssure" in the
lower workings, when there was no reserve
on hand, and apparently no one on the
ground who understood very common
geological problem. If remember rights
", referred to the probability of some
such occurrence, but would not have
thought that anything Of the kind should
be 30 misunderstood. | sketch for your
benefit the situation. The ore body, in
two layers, running into the mountain,

nearly so, Then the fault running nearly

against this Capt. Daniel expresses as
follows; AS to the fault being q fissure
vein, in one sense, yes, and opposite the
ore bodies there will, no doubt, be found
ore in it, but rs a permanency in the way
of copper production no. The per-
emptory "No" of Capt. Daniel consti-
tutes the sole discrepancy between the
two opinions. Now claim that the same
fault passes on its dip besides the lime
rock stratum now worked for your COM
pany, one or more other limerick Strata
carrying ore, now known on the premises
and that this per-emptory "No" is abso-
lutely untenable and unjustified under the
facts as they are known. AS to unestab-
lished facts, l should say that Capt. Dan
iell can just as little see through rock as l
can and has to Judge from analogies only.
And l claim that the fault or assure vein

states Attorney.
To thc Editor Of tho Free Press;

To the Editor Of the Free Press;
Opinion seems to be unanimous here that
Colchester is in justice and fairness entitled
to the Office of state S attorney at the COM
ing September election. The fact is duly
considered that our town has population
OF more than 1900, and ranks seventh
among the the towns of the State and sec
ond in the county. 1t is believed that no
other town in Vermont can be cited, hay
ing population one-half as large as Col
chester, that has not been honored by the
Office 1t is thought that a county, being
but brotherhood of towns should distrib-
ute its Offices in a reasonably equitable man
ner, so that all may share in the emolu
mcnts, as all must share in the public bur
dens If the Office j., a good thing, pass it
around. If it is undesirable, most certainly
pass it around. Colchester has been paying
county taxes from year to year, and should
receive a fair proportion of the revenues
of the county offices. SO strong is the
feeling here that the Office should in fair
ness be given TO Colchester, that we believe,
in case of Mr. Woicott's nomination, he
would receive very nearly the solid vote of
the town. FAIR PLAY.

The Outlook.

Although there have been no particularly
noteworthy developments in the State
pubernatoral canvass the past week, a
brief statement with regard to the present
outlook will not be out Of place. AS the
canvass draws near its close indications as
to the probable result are not wanting. We
have made no idle boasts and have no de-
sire at this time to claim this or that sec
ton or county as 'solidn for Col. Wood
bury, or to say anything not warranted by
facts. 1t may be truthfully said, however,
that In spite of the elaborate boom for an
other candidate with which the public can
vass opened, Col Woodbury's candidacy
hes steadily gained before the peo-
pie of the State, His dignided
attitude ms well as his personal
character and patriotic record, have com
mended him to very general favor. Thai
there has been distinct reaction against

Hard hit.
From tho NInnchcstcr .Ionrnnl. |

IRON the Manchester journal.
The Page papers have been very much
exercised over the fact that Col. Woodbury.,
in his recent letter, stated that a prominent
attorney from the east side last fall inter
viewed one OF the Central Vermont railroad
officials for the purpose of securing the in
fluence Of that corporation in favor of Mr..
Page. Columns have been written and cir
culated through the length and breadth OF
the State trying to prove that the assertion
is not correct. Some OF them profess to be-
lievo that they have proved Col. Woodbury.
a falsifier, and that Page is much abused
man in consequence.
Some of these papers print both Col.
Woodbury's and Mr.. Marsh's statements
The latter is an honorable man and worthy
of the highest credit, but, rs a lawyer Inc
puts the case in as strong a light rs possible
for his friend Page. Stu he substantially
admits all that Mr. Woodbury. clnimod. lie
did while in Boston last November in an in
tervicw with prominent official of tn.
Central Vermont railroad attempt to Obtain
the influence of that corporation in favor o.
Mr.. Page, and this was done with tho full
! knowledge and consent Of Mr.. Page
The reason why Mr.. Woodbury. made hi
statement was the fact that several Pag,
! papers had asserted that he is the candidate
of the Central Vermont ring and hr
very sensibly asks if 1t is any more dishon
orable to have the support of gentlemen
connected with that road than it is to attemp
| to get that support and fail. Col Wood

we think this is not tine case as between tn

The Woodstock Standard, commenting
on tho resolutions passed Mt the recent or
@ani2aton of thn Non-Partisan Women's
Christian Temperance Union ut Montpelier,
says: "These resolutions show that the OBJ
iect of the reorganization is to unite tine
women OF Vermont in Christian temperance
work, with srecial view to promoting total
abstinence and the enforcement of the pro-
hibitory laws of the state. There is to he
10 interference with the religious convic-
tons or political opinions Of any member,
and the right Of any majority to dictate in
these matters 10 any minority, however
large or small, is expressly denied or OK
Guided; the meaning Of which is probably
that such Interference cannot be maintained
without violating the spirit, if not the let
ter Of tho original compact. Furthermore
this special organization is not started for
the purpose Of antagonizinS any other tenn
pcrauco organization or any individual
workers in that field ofslahor The move
ment is significant and exhibits character
and strength at the outset, and cannot fail
to assist in advancing the cause of temper
ance throughout the State. It seems tc
US that no candid person can read the reso-
buttons As adopted at Montpelier without
being impressed by them. The women OF
the re-orsanized union seek no quarrel witt
any other organization or individuals The
movement must commend itself to the tenn
peranco women of the State as a means
they do not claim it to be the only means
of advancing the cause of temperance

The Empty sleeve.

nv FLORENCE EARLE.
You may talk about the pathos
In the hardships OF the war,
You may talk about the glory
OF the cause that you fought for;
But there's nothing so pathetic
As the lesson we receive
From the quiet, idle Tapping
OF the useless empty sleeve,
You may talk about the marches
The scant rationS and hard tack
or the last drop IN the canteen,"
And the empty haversack,"
There's nothing so convincing IN
d Tho impressions that you leave
As the mute and speeches. record
or the useless empty sleeve.
You may speak Of Sout hern prisons,
But their horrors could not last;
OF the roar and din of battle,
And thank God that, too, has past.
But we see a'grim reminder,
Every morn and noon and eve,
In lhe, nyins, speaking presence
OF the useless empty sleeve.
Soldiers deck the graves of comrades
With the laurel that they won,
Poets sing of gallant heroes,
And of deeds OF great renown;
But there's naught in poets anthems
Or the Chaplets that they weave
That can beat the touching story
OF the Useless empty sleeve.

Vermont states that the farms began to be

Is undoubtedly correct in saying that he

we can see no possible object he could have
had in manufacturing such statements, we
