EAR OF THE STATE CAMPAIGN
THE NATIONAL CAMPAIGN-SEs-
SION OF LEGISLATURE - PREsI-
DENTAL ELECTION - A YEAR
FULL OF GREAT EVENTS.
There will be intense interest in the
issue of the political contests. You
will want the WATcHMAN. Published
at the Capital, it has opportunities for
presenting news and matters of interest
not possessed by papers less favorably
situated. Its farm department, con-
Quoted by DR. Hoskins, is without a
rival in New England for the Vermont
farmer. Its editor is a practical and
successful farmer, on Vermont soil, in
Vermont clima e, under the same con-
ditions as the average Vermont farmer.
He is thinking, observing man, widely
read and versed in agricultural chems-
try. He is a clear, strong, forcible
writer. He has the farmers welfare at
heart, and is his strongest, most intelli-
gent and most resolute champion. For
the Vermont farmer his department is
the best 10 the world, and alone is annu-
ally worth many times the subscription
price of the paper. Excellent Home,
Soldier, and Miscellaneous Depart
ments. See clubbing list for political
and other papers, at merely nominal
prices.
The WATCHMAN publishes every
week large amount of varied and i'm
portant matter, political and general
instructive aud entertaining. During
the coming year it will devote much
space to the issues of the state and ma
tional contests. State and local news,
and discussions of state and local af-
fairs-the special province of state
paper-will have increased attention.
We assure our farmer readers that
greater care will be taken to publish
weekly full and trustworthy market re-
ports-a matter which has sometimes
yielded to other demands for space.
The cost of publishing the WATCH
MAN is very great. The cost of its
Agricultural Department alone is
greater than the entire cost of the
average state paper. The cost of the
editorial, the political, local and gen.
eral news, and the miscellaneous de-
partments, also very largely exceeds the
cost of the average of state papers. No
expense has been spared to make the
WATERMAN all that a high class politi-
cal and family newspaper should be.
A good paper, like good horse or
good machine, costs money and is
cheaper at any price than poor paper.
But we make the price of the WATCH
MAN relatively very low by the arrange
ments we have for furnishing other pa
pers at merely nominal rates.
The expressions Of approval and salts
faction the WATCHMAN is constantly re-
ceiving are gratifying to the publishers.
In all possible ways they will aim to i'm
prove and strengthen the paper in all its
departments, both as comprehensive
state journal of high character and as
an exponent of local interests. So we
appeal to old subscribers for their re-
newed support and bespeak their in
dividual efforts TO obtain new sub
scribers. To this end we make the fol-
lowing

WHEN the representatives of Chicago
were present in Washington urging her
scheme for holding the Worlds Fair
upon congress, Commissioner Bryan,
speaking for Chicago, promised that if
the fair were awarded to that city she
would not ask congress for one cent.
This, no doubt, had conclusive weight
in sending the exhibition to Chicago.
Now the city should be held to her
promises as other parties are to their
business engagements.

A Happy New Year.

At this season of glad and hopeful
forth-looking, let US choose the ground
for beginning our New Years work.
Only He whom we should serve can
know where we may be working or
whether we shall be at work at all when
this year upon which we have now
entered shall grow old. There is a charm
whereby we may make and keep the
year happy all the way through, and
this way of happiness may be Joined in
self-doings. There IS plenty of seed at
hand for those who have hands to SOW it.
neither is the sowing hard, or the field
far away; so, begin at once.
Good purposes quickly spoil if laid by;
whole volumes might be written of good
intentions and admirable plans intended
to be done; which if carried out would
have covered the world with sunshine
but which all came to nothing because
their beginning was delayed. The
bright projects became more and more
dim until the long put-of some day went
out in the darkness of neVer.
y. How many a precious opportunity of
doing good close at hand, has been over
looked because we were looking for an
opportunity far off, so that even here, we
need to guard against being too long
sighted.
We keep on saying if had plenty of
money, or more time; if were only clever
and half SO capable as such an one, what
good would do! But my dear friend
what are you about? You are actually
marking out the foundations of your
building on your neighbor's ground.
Beware of trespass; hasten home and
survey your own plot afresh. w, P. T.

That Man Dana.

The New York Herald in boom
ing Charles A. Dana for Senator
publishes all sorts of criticisms of
the Editor of the Sun, and Mr..
Dana has an opportunity which few
men have-that of seeing himself
as others see him. With but few
exceptions the general opinion is
that a better selection could not be
made. 1t is true that Mr.. Dana's
politics are of a somewhat doubtful
character, but we believe this is for,
rather than against him. A man
should not be elected to a public
office simply because he is Repub-
lican or Democrat, but because he
is the best man for the position.
Charles A. Dana is eminently
fitted for the Senatorship. He is
an honest, fearless and outspoken
man and his ability is unquestion-
ed. Of course the mere polititian
will object to him for the reason
that Mr.. Dana cannot be depended
on to listen to the dictates of bosses
and political heelers; which latter
is another argument in his favor.

Sunday Mornings Fire.

The fire fend has again laid his
hand on Passaic and for the third
time has settled on Sunday as the
day of destruction. The burning
of the furniture warehouse of Mr..
r. R. Berdan and the clothing store
of James Taylor on Passaic street
last Sunday was the most destruc-
tive fire which has visited our city
in years. and but for the efforts OF
the hremen it would have proved
more disastrous.
The building in which the fire
occurred belonged to Messrs. Fol
strom & Tornquist. The one occu-
pied by clothier Taylor was of
wood and but one story. 1t was
entirely consumed. Mr.. Taylor
carried a stock of about $1,000,
which was insured. The other
building, the walls of which remain
standing, is ourstory brick
structure, with galvanized iron
front. Mr.. R. R. Berdan had S., ,ooc
worth of furniture on the first floor
He is one of the most popular fur
niture men in Passaic. His stock
was insured for about $1,000
The balance will be a total loss
He formerly occupied the upper
floors for dwelling purposes, bu
about four weeks ago he moved
into a new Queen Anne cottage or
Lexington avenue. Great sympa
thy is felt for him. Messr
Folstrom & Tornqvist occupied
the rear of the clothing store, as
stove store, with stock of $r4, 900
They carried some insurance, bu
| the exact amount is not known
The buildings were well worth
$4,000, and were insured fol
$1,000. The origin of the fire i
| unknown.

Obituary..
Abram N. Ackerman.

Mr.. A. N. Ackerman who died
on Sunday of pneumonia was born
in Bergen County, August, 27th
1890. His father one, of the genuine
Dutch stock, was by trade amason.
Young Abram was apprenticed to
the carpenter trade under Col. An
drew Derrom, and served the Gus
tomary term of six years. In 1868
Mr.. Ackerman settled in Passaic
and established the saving, plan
ing and wood working business.
He took as a partner, Mr.. Adrian
Hopper and the firm was known
as Ackerman & Hopper. In 1881
Mr.. Ackerman purchased Mr.
Hoppers interest and has since
been the sole owner. In 1881 the
mill employed 16 men; it now gives
work to about 80. He represented
the First Ward in the Council in
1875 and in 1879 was appointed

been a director of the Passaic
National Bank and the Passaic
Trust and Safe Deposit Co. since
they were organized
Mr.. Ackerman was a member
of the Dutch Reformed Church
of which the Rev. DR.. John Gas
ton is pastor. His death is a great
loss to the whole community. He
was a model family man and his
unexpected death is a great shock
to the bereaved widow who has
been a partial invalid for several
years. His surviving children are
Mrs. E. L. Hewson and Messrs.
Geo. H. and Elmer E. Ackerman.

PaterSon'S New Paper.

The Paterson E0ening NeaOs,
the new paper started last week,
proves to be a very interesting
sheet and we predict for it much
success. Mr. E. B. Haines is an
able editor and fully understands
his business, and Ex-Postmaster
Conk1in makes hustling manager.
There is a large field for a good
independent paper and the Eaen-
ing News has laid hold on the
opportunity.

IT the Sorric in regard to the depth

at the Norric in regard to the depth
of the ore deposits is undoubtedly
true in all the other mines, as the
formation has been found to be
similar and extremely regular
throughout the entire length of the
range. This discovery at the Norrie
must necessarily prove of immense
value not only to that mine but to
all the others and should and no
doubt will, greatly increase their
value. The only speculation that
will now be made in regard to the
future of the great Gogebic will be
the extent of its development. Its
possibilities appear now to be UNI
limited. The great length of the ore
formation has already been estab-
lished and now. that it has been proven
to have great depth it only remains
for future developments to make this
the greatest ore producing region OF
the globe.
Wessington Springs herald. (Wessington Springs, Aurora County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1891, 1891-10-02
Depth of tho Goeeblc deposits.

Ever since the discovery Of the
Gogebic range. says the Ironwood
Mich, Times, the depth of the ore
deposits has been a mooted question.
Many claimed originally that the ore
did not extend to any great depth
and when the great dyke Of rock was
struck that is present in almost every
mine on the range at varying depths,
they pointed to this as a proof of their
claims and for some time many be-
lieved that ore would not be found
under the dyke. Ore was found, how
ever, and then the croakers said that
the deposits would pinch out at no
great depth. About year ago the
Metropolitan Iron and Land Com
pany determined to settle the Ques-
ton definitely, A diamond drill was
secured and placed about 100 feet
north of No. / shaft and near to the
line of the Ashland property. The
work proceeded very we'll until a
depth of about 200 feet was reached
when the drill became stuck and it
looked as if the work had been done
for nothing. 1t was decided to rim
the hole and extract the drill Of posi-.
Bile. This was successfully accom-
plished and the work of drilling pro-
rccded. AT a depth of 1850 feet ore
was struck and forty feet was passed
through. The drill then entered the
same dyke formation that is encount-
cred in the upper workings of the
mine and it is expected that when
this is pierced another lens of ore will
be found under it. This discovery is
Of vast Importance to the Gogcbic
range. 1t settles beyond doubt that
our deposits extend to a great depth
and are practically unexhaustabla.
1t forever sets at rest the claims that
the Gogebic Formation is shallo" OF
that it vii. uia2l ul.5s. ETaat is trst4
