CHESTERFIELD, N. H.
Boy Loccro,ed.:by Il Moving Machine.

BOY LRcer0tedisby ALLOWING Machine.
A serious accident occurred on Friday of
last week to Guy, the three-year-old son of
A. A. Jaifrey. At about 11.30 in the
forenoon Mr.. Jaffrey was moving weeds
in lot some distance from his house
when he was terrified at seeing his little
boy suddenly spring into view not foot
from the machine. He stopped his team
instantly but the heavy cutter bar swung
over, hitting the child in the legs, both of
which were terribly lacerated in the calves.
Drs. Butler and Craig were summoned and
the former arriving first dressed the
wounds. Numerous small arteries were
severed and the muscles were cut through
to the bone Both physicians have been
in daily attendance since. The right leg
has been healing nicely from the first but
gangrene set in on the left leg on Sunday
and that member will have to be amputa-
ted below the knee. This will be done the
last of this week. The child was much
weakened by pain and loss of blood but it
is thought that he will live. But a short
time before the accident Mr.. Jaffrey saw
the boy playing with an older brother near
the house and had no idea that either child
was in the lot. The weeds among which
he was hiding were at least foot higher
than his head. Much sympathy is felt for
the parents and the little sufferer.

Notes From British Columbia Silver
Mines and Washington Wheat and
Fruit Mines.


Mines and Washington Wheat and
Fruit Mines.
o. l.. Sherman returned Monday from
British Columbia, where he had been to visit
his son, X. NJ. Sherman, who is engaged
in silver mining in the Slocon district of
the Kootenay mountains. This section of
country is reached by a steamer and rail
trip of $50 miles from Spokane, Washing
ton. The Slocon district is one of the
richest silver and lead mining districts in
the world. 1t is very rough section to-
geographically, the mountains shutting
down so close to the streams that roads are
built at their base with great difficulty.
These mountains or mountain ranges are
more than mile high on the average, and
rise so abruptly that they can be assembled
only by switchback trails. Still for long
distance they are staked out as mining
claims which thousands of men are work
ing in all stages of development
X. NJ. Sherman is business manager of
'The Noble Five" mine, valuable prop
erty which has been quite largely devel-
oped. This concern is one of the few in
that section running a concentration, a
! plant by which crude ore is taken in at one
end by tramway from the mine, and crush
ed and separated so that the value in 10 to
II tons of ore is concentrated into the one
ton which is deposited in railroad car at
the other end of the plant. This concentrat-
ed ore contains on the average 1900 pounds
of lead and 100 ounces of silver to the ton,
and is sent by the carload to smelt works
at Pueblo, Col, distance of 2000 miles or
more.
The freight and smelter charges are
| S2l.5O per ton, the average product per
ton being, at present prices, about S1l0 at
Pueblo Mr.. Sherman says the present
very low price of silver has caused great
many later prizes in prospect to be aban-
doned, has curtailed a great many now in
operation, and has seriously affected the
well developed and rich mines that were
prosperous at prices prevailing year ago
He thinks that the silver yield of the next
year will show very large decrease from
that of the past.
Mr. Sherman also states that the crops
of all kinds in the state of Washington
are very large. The wheat yield is from
80 to 80 bushels per acre and the price
from 65 to 20 cents. One farmer whose
yield exceeds 40 bushels per acre, contract
ed his crop at 20 cents per bushel and eX-
poets to realize for it $4,000. The fruit
crop Of Washington is immense and of a
quality that those New Englanders who
are sharpening their teeth on frost peache:
and sour apples cannot have the slightest
conception of. The farmers of the stat,
are all happy and the prospects are good
that the eastern bound mails this fall will
be laden with remittances for many past
due coupons of mortgage notes.
