This society is a wealthy and intluen
tial New England organization formed
through the human efforts of DR.. W. D

SEASON OF PROSPERITY
WHICH VIRGINIA WILL EN-
JOY THIS SUMMER.
Something About Mr.. Filings New Mill at
The EastOn-The junction Mill Will Soon
BE Treating Ore-A Large Force Will he
Employed at the EastOn this Summer.

Frasier & Chalmer, of Chicago. have
been awarded the contract for fur
nishing the machinery for the new
concentrating mill which Mr.. Filing
will build at the EastOn. The con-
tract stipulates that the machinery
shall be shipped within the next 30
days. The mill will be 1O-stamp af-
fair, built with d view of enlarging if
necessary. The stamps will weigh $50
pounds each, about the largest stamp
used. There will be four-foot CORFU
gated Frue vanner, and three six-foot
vanners, and a hydraulic sizer. Two
new engines have been ordered one, a
4O-horse power for the mill proper, and
smaller engine for the vanners. The
capacity of the mill will be 40 tons per
"a hours.
below the main shaft of the Easton and
the ore will be dumped directly into
the mill from the shaft, requiring no
further handling by hand until concen-
trated.
Master Mechanic Bert Rev is pre-
pairing for the work of erecting the
mill building. This work is handicap
ped at present, owing to the fact that
the millsite is covered from five to
eight feet of snow.
The Junction mill is now undergo
irc vuh oh
be completed until the first of next
month. Part of the mill was put in mo.
tion this week. The new ore crusher
is in position and doing good work. A
new engine, which will run the dyna-
mo, has been added to the plant.
BY the middle of the summer, posi-
bly, about the first of August both of
these mills will be kept busy treating
the ore from the Easton mine. BY the
1st of August the force Of miners will be
considerably augmented. Probably 100
men will be employed at the mine alone.
The pay roll will run up to handsome
figure, to such figure that every busi-
ness man in town will feel it and be ben
efitted. The people of Virginia can ex-
pect revival of the good times OF
several years ago-only there will be a
larger pay roll and considerably more
money in circulation. 1t is to be hoped,
however, that this announcement will
not bring men to Virginia in search OF
work, as there is far to many here now
and there will undoubtedly be sur
plus, even when both mills are working
| full forces.

THE CITY FATHERS.
They Meet and Discuss Various Matter.
Pertaining to the City's Welfare.


The city council met Tuesday even
ing, Mayor Bennett residing. Alder
men Allen, Gilbert, Mitchell and Wick
ers were present.
After transacting some routine busi-
ness, the city hall matter was taken
up. Messrs. Allen and Gilbert report
ed that the project scemed to meet with
an almost unanimous endorsement BY
the citizens. Alderman Vickers said
he had heard OF one man who proposed
to shake the dust of Virginia from his
feet in case the city decided to build {.
hall: aside from this one objection,
every body seemed to be in favor OF it.
Alderman Gilbert reported that Z:
F. johnson would sell his lot ut the
cOrner Of Wallace and Jefferson streets
Tor $500: Alderman Allen reported that
Nelson Cole was willing to part with
bis lot adjoining E1r. Johnson's prop
Prty for $500, and that Mr. Cole had
minated that he might take ,css:
alderman Vickers reported that W. A.
Clark had offered a site directly Oppo-
tie this one. a 5O-foot front. for $3.50.
The mayor remarked that the prices
ubmitted, tended to show that suit
BILE location could be had at reason
bic figure. The matter was then dis
|ussed informally, but as the meeting
Fas of doubtful legality, no definite ac-
ion was taken.
It seems that the council cannot take
step OF this character except at regu-
lr meetings. Tuesday evenings meet
