SPINNING MILL DESTROYED.
Serious Blaze at Burifngton-Two
Men Badly Hurt While Sliding
Down KOpes-Loss $15O,OOO.


BURLINGTON, VT, Feb. A.-At II 80 to-
day fire was discovered in the fifth storyof
the spinning mill owned by the Burlington
Cotton Mills company situated on the Bur
ington side of the river at Winooski,
manufacturing village two miles north of
here. The flames spread SO rapidly that
employees were obliged to escape by ropes,
and in doing so John Taylor, foreman of
the room, was badly if not fatally burned.
His hair and moustache are entirely gone
and the skin is peeled from his hands and
arms. Nelson Young also had his hands
severely burned and Joseph Horton sus-
tanned a bad cut on his thigh in a fall from
a rope. The entire structure was consum-
ed in half an hour, causing loss of $3.50, 900;
insurance, $4,000. Sparks from the
burning building, driven by strong south
wind, set fire to the lumber sheds of Ed
wards & Stevens, across the river, and tho
flames spread to the adjoining buildings.
At one time it looked as though the whole
village of Winooski must go, but aid from
Burlington finally put the fire under con-
troll. The loss in the village of Winoosh
will be $50, 900. One of the worst features
of the confagration is that it throws out
of employment IT'S hands, and as the mill
furnishes yarn for weaving mill in this
city employing 100 hands, that also must
shut down. The fire is under central

Montoyvese Lodge Socfable.

The entertainment and sociable given
by Montowese lodge, No. Is, 1. o. o. F.,
to its members, families and friends at
Odd Fellows hall last evening, was in all
respects social success. James Bishop,
past grand master and junior grand repre-
sentative from this state to the sovereign
grand lodge, opened the exercises by q
short speech laudatory of Odd Fellowship
in particular, and good fellowship in gen
eral. A defamation, "Spartacus to the
Gladiator" by T. NJ. Roche was more
than usually well done, and greeted with
hearty applause. The other exercises OF
the very interesting programme were well
received and afforded much pleasure to all
present. At the close of the exercises ice
cream, cake, sandwiches and coffee were
served. The committee having charge of
this entertainment was: Charles II. Rice,
chairman; G. G. Miller, Charles H. Hay
den, A. H. Moulton, A. o. Chatfeld, A. J.
Wright and NJ. A. Ray.
Three more bodies were taken from the col
liery at Spring Hill mines yesterday. They were
badly decomposed. The inquest is being held.

Gold Mountain District.

George H. Gillitt, of the Golden Star
Mining company, has just returned from
the Gold Mountain mining district in Pluto
county, and gives glowing account of the
richness Of that country. The Grasshopper
lode. one OF the claims embraced In the
Golden Star group, shows great prospect OF
"onderIul developments. The outcrop
stands straight up OUT of the ground for 100
1eet; 1t is al ore and there are thousands of
tons above the surface which can be quar-
RED out The general formation is por-
phyry and quartzite carrying gold only. 1t
is Tree milling ore and will average from
sl5 to $50 per ton. The company has
erected substantial buildings and are
fully equipped for earnest work in the
development Of the mine. They are
driving tunnel 800 feet below the out
crop to catch the vein below. They will
take out ore until spring when they will
put In stamp mill to reduce their dump to
gold bricks. Mr.. Gillitt thinks that region
will ultimately prove the richest in Utah.
The Sewer mine, under w. P. Belding
superintendent, will be- shipping gold
bricks into the city in about thirty days.
Their ten-stamp mill will be in iuil opera
ton about the 20th of this month and
great results are expected, as the ore, like
that OF the Grasshopper, is FREQ milling
gold ore and also somewhat richer as to

vicinity is being rapidly pushed forward

That is tee title thepublishora have
given the work just issued from the
press under the name OF tho An,er;-
canized Encyclopedia Britannica.
The Americanized is based On the
original and ninth edition OF that
world'famed work. the Encyclopaedia
Britannica. The points Of difference
In the two works are: First, the Eng
glish edition, published ell the WY
from five to twenty years ago, has bo-
come out of date. The Americanized
Encyclopaedia Britannica has brought
every subject treated OF in the original
work down to date, making it Of moro
practical use to the American reader
who isinterested in American subjects,
than the English work itself, which,
being compiled by Englishmen for the
use Of Englishmen, neglected Ameri-
can enbiects, and in a great many
CAGES did not mention them at all.
eecond-The English edition does
not mention the name Of any living
person, no matter how noted they
ere. The Americanized Encyclo-
p@dia Britannica more than makes
this omission good by adding nearly
1000 new biographies of living men
and women; also including those re-
Gently deceased, whose names will be
handed down IL history.
To illustrate the difference, the
English edition deyotes over six COL
unns TO an English county, and but
three-quarters of column to an
American State. The Americanized
Encyclopedias Britannica reverses this
order by giving the six columns of
space to the American State and the
three-fourths of a column to the
English county.
You are more interested about
American matters than you are about
English, aren't you? Well, if you look
up the English edition you will find
an exhaustive treatise on Birming-
ham, England, and when you look for
Birmingham, Alabama, an American
city Of over 10000 population, the
English edition doesn't even mention
it.
Well, it seems that the Encyclc.
pmdia Britannica should be AMER
IoANIzEp ] And that is just whS'
the publishers have done. They hT
taken the Encyclopedias Britannica Z
pieces, as it were, and remodsled it for
the American reader, the whole work
being brought down to date.
