Brothers men, has been sick.
Speaking Of the Moloney bond case.
one of the selectmen said, 81 notice oc-
casional articles in the BEE, evidently
from some Fairfielder who does not love
us, in regard to the Moloney and other
matters. Now, the tenor Of those ar
ticles would lead one unfamiliar with the
facts to suppose that the present board
of selectmen were responsible for Mo-
loney and his bonds. Such is not the
case and it should be understood. And
as to this matter, there are legal ways in
which the entire transactions can be
brought to light, il any one chooses to
do so.''
None of the new railroad crossings in
town have yet been accepted by the town,
through its railroad committee and the
selectmen. In fact, only the crossing at
Robert Dickie's has been ready for ac-
ceptanee and few alterations, slight
decrease in grade, were ordered there
some time ago. Of the undergrade cross
ings, that at Carpenter avenue is hardly
finished. The French crossing at the
acid works is also nearly done, but it is
thought by many that the grade on eth
er approach is greater than that allowed
by the commissioners and that the bridge
will not be accepted. A uniform grade
of seven feet to the hundred has been es-
tablished and, i'm one case when eight feet
was allowed, an effort is to be made to
have it reduced to seven.
Approaches to the Greenfield bridge
are so incomplete that the bridge has not
yet been accepted by the town. On the
Greenfield side, sharp turn has been made
which is to be avoided by the removal of
a telegraph pole, allowing teams to pass
ten or a dozen feet nearer the track. On
the Southport side, the eastern approach
only can be used; the western is incom-
plete and is fenced off.
A late issue of the Rico News contains
an appreciative notice of the Mount Will
son mining company, from which the
following is extracted:
''The Silver Pick mine on Mount Wilson is
lookIuS UNUSUALLY me anu Ile superintendent
hopes to have the tunnels driven to depth
sufficient TO begin stopping ore early in April.
By June, the management anticipates having
the drill plant on the ground ready to set up
and by the last of July have it in operation.
There is no doubt that development of this
property will make it good mine, place it
zamOng the steady shippers and stimulate the
owners of neighboring mines to increased &C
tivity. The Mount Wilson district is field
deserving the attention OF mine operators and
capital and offers inducements to the energet-
ic searcher for wealth far superior to locali-
ties more familiar to the prospector The at
tention it deserves will be given this practi-
cally unexplored region upon the completion
of the Rio Grande Southern railroad, which
passes Mount Wilson closely by
Skates were the favorite method of To-
comotion, Saturday, many even skating
down from Greenfield Hill.

During temporary absence of Agent
Purdy, Telegraph Operator Spaid was on
duty at Southport station.
Another gang of men worked all day
Sunday and got into place all the iron
work on the new bridge at the Carpenter
avenue crossing. A few men remained
during the week to complete the boiling
and other strengthening. Several feet
on the north side of the bridge. beyond
the rails, it is announced by the railroad
men, will be used for support for foot
path to be aid later.
