ABOUT HOLES IN THE GROUND,
Late News of Local Mines and
Mining.
The Crescent Di.trict Likely to Rival
Vanderbilt.
A Promising Camp Thirteen Miles from
vanderbilt-Placer Gold-Plnscate
Discoveries = The ELLA
Gold Mine.

Needles Eye: One of the most prom
ising and busy mining districts which
has recently come into prominence is
that of Crescent, situated Is miles by
trail northeast OF Vanderbilt. 1t nestles
among the hills on the eastern slope of
the mountains, and occupies as pictur'
esque location as one often sees. A
new wagon road over the low divide con-
meets the mines with Marvel and Van
derbilt, and already 20 men are employed
in sinking shafts and driving tunnels.
Prominent in the camp are H. NJ. Ste-
vens, superintendent OF the Pieaiio Co
partnership Mining company, and A. f.
Stevens, superintendent of the Free
Gold Mining company. Both are pursu-
ing systematic development on several
mines.
The Cornucopia, situated in the north
ern part OF the district, is stopping and
sacking ore preparatory TO shipment.
Nearly all the discoveries made 30 far
show large percentage of gold. Among
the present discoveries may be mem
toned the Paisano, Free Gold, Ralti-
more, Manhattan. Jupiter, Somerset,
Mahogany. Gold Standard and Cornu-
copia. The ores carry galena and chlo-
rides, as well as gold and silver, and the
veins improve with depth. Water is
found ut 10 and 20 feet.
The extension of the Nevada Southern
railway toward Goode Sprngs will pass
within few miles OF this district. and
greatly stimulate activity throughout
that region. The Crescent gives every
promise OF becoming large producing
district. and those already there are very
fortunate to be first on the ground. At
this early period. however. the oppor.
tunities are abundant for further discov-
cries, and those seeking investments
might fiud the field a very profitable one
in (which to expend some capital.

SHE LOST HER SCALP.
Tho Fearful Experience of Bridge
water Girl in Her Father's MIL

Tho Fearful Experience of Bridge
water Girl in Her Fathers MIL
The Woodstock Standard tells of the re-
msrkable experience OF Ruby Perkins, an
eight years old girl in Briigewater, whose
hair was caught on revolving shaft in
her fathers mill, in such manner as to
tear Off her scalp entirely from the eye
brows in front, over to the back OF the neck
below the base of the skull, and so low on
the right side as to remove the ear entirely,
while the left side was torn across just
above the ear. Ths skin slipped down from
the nose that it fell on the upper lip aud
had TO be held in place by adhesive strips,
1t would have been vain to replace the scalp,
all connection had been so severed as to
render union impossible. Furthermore, the
membrenous covering Of the skull, called
the periosteum, furnishes life and nutri-
meat to the outer table OF the skull bone,
and much of this is removed with the scalp.
In this condition she lay, during the week,
suffering but littls pain, taking about the
usual amount Of food, sleeping we'll, and in
a comparatively comfortable state of mind,
perfectly conscious. She does not know
how badly she is injured, nor that her hair
is gone; for on Saturday she asked for a
handglas to see how she looked, and on be-
ing gently turned from her purpose she re-
marked to her sister that she would have a
good job untanglng her hair when she got
up. The first of this week she seemed worse
in some respects, and suffered from pains in
her head. On Tuesday, however, the doc
tor found her feeling much better, so that
she was amusing herself with her dolls.
During one of DR.. Boyden's daily visits
he tested the sensitiveness OF the skull by
tapping repeatedly on it with his finger, at
first very gently and then quite forcibly,
but the patient felt no pain, and did not
notice what he was doing. The absence of
excessive suffering is due to the fact that
the nerves were all removed from the top
oil the head, 80 that there is positively
nothing there to ache, and there could be
no more pain than would result from a flesh
wound equal in extent to the torn edges of
the wound. Thus the injury which seems
so terrible to look upon is, in the actual eI-
psriencs OF the patient, much less painful
than others which seem less cruel.

A MAPLE SUGAR CENTRE.
Ancient and Modern Methods Employed
in vermont's Spring Ind dustry.


Ever since the Indians in the section now
known as Fletcher discovered honey" in
the maple trees, that district has been known
far and wide as the heart of the Vermont
maple sugar country. A FREE PRESS man
last week cheerfully accepted an invi-
tation to spend a few days in the
sugar bush up there, and was some
what surprised at the immense proportions
OF the Industry and also at the perfection
attained by the most modern apparatus for
sugar making, The way the red man ex-
tracted the delicious compound was some-
what slow as compared with the present
process. He used to out slanting cash In
the bark and insert In the lower end a guage
shaped piece of wood from which the sap
ran and dropped into poplar or bass
wood trough. At the end of the season
these troughs would be set up against the
trees aud left until tho following season, by
which time the troushs would be thorough
ly mildewed. This materially added to the
flavor Of the oboriginal sugar, but can
hardly be said to have improved it. The
evaporator OF those times consisted
of an iron kettle swung from a
saping bent over stump BY a
slow and tedious process the sap was
first heated and then boiled in this kettle,
fore 1t could be sugared off. 1his was the
way in which tho redskins and the early
Vermonters eked out 'sweetnin' to
their tea and johnny Gaze, white
sugar being too much of lux
ury for ordinary people But the per-
fected evsporator and world wide market OF
to day have almost reversed the conditions,
so that now the farmer S maple sugar comes
very near being his luxury, the best grades
often bringing more than twice the price Of
granuated sugar.
In the best Fletcher groves OF to-day &
long pipe or trough line runs from some
central spot in the grove down to the big
storage tanks In the sugar house. Here the
perfected evaporator, when under full head
way, will convert the first sap into syrup
in half an hour, consuming about one cord
Of wood to produce hundred pounds of
sugar. There are In the town of Fletcher, at
a moderate estimate 80 900 trees, this being
probably within the real number. Follow
ing are the names of some OF the principal
sugar producers in the township, together

WILL DRAW sElNes THIS YEAR..

Tho Stat Fish Com mmi-sioners Adopt
RetaIiatory 5Ieasures Against Canada.
The State fish commissioners have grant
ed about 20 licenses to Vermont fishermen,
giving them the right to fl IN in the waters
OF MisSlsquo bay with n seine. In regard
to this Commissioner Titcomb of Rutland
says: "For the first time In the history Of
the State, since laws TO protect fish in Lake
Champlaln were passed, our fishermen are
on equal terms with the Canadian fisher
men.
In former years these Canadian fisher
have drawn their senes and caught barrel
after barrel Of fish, while our fishermen
could only stand and look on. These fab
were hauled over this side of the line and
sold for good prices. About this time OF
year there is a constant stream of fish going
up into the bay on the Swanton side to
spawn. They are mostly pike perch, that
are worth in New York $l4 to s2j barrel
Strange as it may seem, the seiues are haul
cd when the ice in the lake is three feet
thick.
This is done By novel arrangement of
cspstans ami ropes that requires three or
four men to handle. We only issued the
licenses for 30 days; at tho expiration Of
that time every man will have to report the
Of granting these licenses, but as the privi-
lege to fish ut this season is worth about
$500 month it did not seem right to de-
prive our citizens OF it.
al have bssn assured by the Canadian
minister of marine and fisheries that after
this year the Canadian government will is-
sue no licenses to fish IN the bay, 80 we will
not be obliged to do It, "
The law allowing the commissioners TO
issue licenses was passed by the last Leg,sla-
ture as a retaliatory measure and it seems
that it has already accomplished the purpose
for which it was designed.
VERMONT FISH AT CHICAGO.
The commissioner also says; cat the
worlds fair we shall make u good exhibit of
Vermont food fishes. About 80 OF the bs.t
specimens Of the pike perch, northern pike,
pickerel and black bass caught by the
seners in Miseisquoi bay will be kept alive
| in crates until tho car OF the United States
commission comes around, when they will
be placed in tanks and taken to Chicago.
There will also DO an exhibit of brook trout. -
