A large steam boiler for the Ralrh

day. The mill of this company, which
was framed in Caldwell last spring, has

would come off the railroad perch for
the season. Some people have no dis

Silver City railroad will commence at
once. Heretofore we have not taken
much stock in this scheme, but we now

imaginary Pennsylvania millionaire
we were skeptical, but now that Pur.
dam has gone squarely and fairly en-

cent discount on railroad news is not
allowed on this item. Usually we can
afford it, but when Purdam talks
