Gold Mining Company
Formed with n Capital OF 100000 to
DeVeIop Mines ut Stockbridgc.

The gold mining excitement has been at
fever heat at Bethel and Stockbrdge the
past week. For 80 years the upper White
river valley has been occasionally stirred
up with gold finding and reputed sudden
riches, but in every case hitherto the stir
has resulted in ascertaining that while
there certainly was gold present, yet not in
paying quantities.
The past week has seen the formation
of the Norton gold mining company, with
capita stock OF 100000 and the sale Of
farms to the parties interested in this com
pany at fabulous prices for these years.
Hitherto the gold-seekers have searched
for that mineral in the sand, gravel and
river bed of White river, but the new com
pany has several mining experts from New
York, who declare that the precious min
eral exists in the quartz rocks on the farm
Of Edwin j, Norton, about a half mile
east of Stockbridge Common, In guauti-
ties that will richly pay for working.
Sheppard Romans of New York city, a
wealthy insurance man, is understood to be
backing the new company.
Nearly all the real estate in the vicinity
of the gold mines has either been bought
or bonded il the interest of the company
including the Norton farm OF l2O acres
the f.. w. Whtcomb farm of 20 acres
the Reuben Whitcomb farm Of 800 acres,
the Webber farm of 300 acres and the
Stockbridge hotel property, with its large
farm.

Old Soldiers Quarrel.

There was an exciting scene at Delmon-
ico's in New York a few evenings ago at
the annual banquet of the Loyal Legion,
which 600 people attended. Gen. a. A.
Ames of Lowell, Mass, read a paper on
the Battle of Fort Fisher. This battle was
under direction of Gen. Terry and Gen.
Ames was next in command. Gen. y. NJ.
Curtis, now a resident of Ogdensburg, y.
Y, and member of Congress, commanded
a division of soldiers and marines and was
wounded in the eye while leading an assault
on the Confederate intIenchments. He
has been known as the hero of Fort Fisher.
Gen. Ames's paper was self-eulogistic, and
belitted the part taken by Gen. Curtis.
At the close of the paper one guest jumped
up and shouted for Gen. Curtis, and the
cry was taken up at all the tables. Gen.
Curtis said Ames had told what suited his
purpose, had left out what he did not like
and ad made statements that were untrue.
When Gen. Curtis referred to THAT craven
heart and pointed to Ames there was a
great uproar, which was not Quilted for sew
eral minutes. Gen. Wager Swayne said
the discussion was out of ord r, and Gen.
Curtis apologized, but did not mention
Ames's name. Gen. Curtis was granted
permission to read paper on Fort Fisher
at the next meeting.

Around the World In 10 nnrs.

Dr. De Karmet, the eminent Russian
lecturer, who is now at Vancouver, b. c.,
to give addresses on Siberia and its pros
poets, declares that with the opening of
the trans-Siberian railroad there will
speedily follow direct and rapid steam
communication between Vladivostock and
Vancouver This would place British Co
lumbia in an all-around-thew world route
that could be traversed in 40 days DIR.
De Karmet expects the Canadian Pacific
railroad to JON in the work of developing
this great route by land and sea. He pre-
diets that, with the opening of the rail
way, there would come such vast gold de-
velopment in Siberia as would make that
country one of the greatest gold producers
in the world. Even now, with but prmi-
tive appliances and methods, it produces in
the neighborhood of 5000, 600 in gold
yearly.
