The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1896-08-22

Throughout the first half OF the 18TH
century and in fact up to the opening OF
the Revolutionary War the growth of
commercial interests was steady and
healthy. The war, however. was a
serious blow to them, but they reco vered
after the declaration of peace and ex-
panded to marvellous degree. No longer
did the merchants confine their ventures
to trading with the West Indies. They
conceived the idea OF extending their
business enterprises TO the Orient and
they carried ii out. One OF the largest
ships ever built by Providence capital,
the General Washington, was designed
specially for the China trade and sailed
from Providence for Canton in 1887. AS
indicating how early these enterprising
merchants and capitalists were In the
field 1t is only necessary to point to the
fact that the General Washington was the
third ship 10 carry the American flag to
China. How important a place Provi-
dence held in the commerce OF the
country in those days is signally shown
by the statement that in 17o0 there was
a larger number OF vessels belonging to
this port than to New York or Boston.

Pardon Tillinghast First Man

The Rise and Fall of the Shipping
Interests OF This Port.

The Gossiper is asked who the pioneer
ship owner In Providence was. That is
q question that cannot be answered defi-
nitely, because there is no record aviia-
BILE from which the Information can he
obtained. 1t is probable, however, that
among the pioneers was Pardon Thing
hast, who was unquestionably among
the founders of Commercial Providence.
IL was he who in &. 1879 built the first
wharf in this town and by SO doing put
Ii in measure in the way of competing
In commercial affairs with Newport,
which up to that time had monopolized
pretty much everything in the shipping
line. Soon after this wharf building pro-
ject had been carried out Providence
began to expand commercially and very
soon had Established a direct trade with
the West Indies. That trade expanded to
vast proportions and furnished the
Foundation for some of the most SUBJ
stantial fortunes enjoyed by sizsns OF
Providence today.

A Great Boon for the Afflicted lnaur,
urated by the Herald
The Suffering May Have Their Ills Diagnosed
and Properly Treated Without
Cost to Themselves

The Herald has determined to give an
X-ray free clinic for the benefit of the
public Of Southern California, for term
Of two weeks.
For the purpose a Tesla coil and ma
chine has been ordered from Boston.
This Is the most highly perfected ma
chine in the world for such examina-
tions.
The clinic will begin just as soon as
the apparatus arrives, and will be held
free to the public two hours each day,
excepting that on one or two days of the

The X-ray is now made practical for
all parts of the human body, for locating
foreign substances, such as bullets,
pins, diagnosing deformities, tumors
ana obscure diseases. BY it the heart
is seen to move, and other organs come
clearly into view.

With the many advantages Tucson

which ought to be appreciated as much
as any other and that is the copper
smelter, whose owners are ready at all
times to buy copper ore in any amount
large or small, and pay. cash for the
same as soon as the assay value is
known. While the mines are waiting for
the passing of the act authorizing the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio Of 16 to L." they could work the
many copper prospects about us and at
the present market price for copper
very many of them could be worked at
a profit. Mining for copper ore is less
expensive, requiring less asserting and
much less loss in returns from the ore
than in silver, lead or gold ores. With a
smelling company at home, with rail-
road freights avoided, with a company
willing to buy 100 pounds or O,OOO
pounds, paying the full market value for
the same, where one can see his ore
sampled and assayed, and be satisfied
as to the kind of deal he is getting, and
upon the assay being made get his cash.
