Copperfie1d Mining Companv.

At the hearing Wednesday, the Goth,
at Hotel Low, before Judge Gleason,
on motion of F. j. Hutchinson, an at
tOrney from Boston, representing the
Boston stockholders of the Ely Copper
field Mining Company, to set aside the
adjudication of insolvency of the com
pany, which adjudication was obtained
upon the petition of local creditors,
Mr.. Hutchinson asked that the hear
ing be postponed for three weeks, to
give his clients an opportunity to close
negotiations now pending, whereby all
the Indebtedness of the company would
be paid, and operations at the mine be
resumed. If this time was granted. he
also stated, that in his judgement the
would be successfully
consummated. Judge Gleason granted
an extension of time to June 18th next.
If this is done, as Mr.. Hutchinson
felt sure it would be, the company will
be without debts and in condition to
operate its property, which we believe
to be one of the most valuable proper
ties that can be found. The Editor of
the OPINION has personally talked
with mining men, who claim that the
is capable of being success
fully operated, and that it is more val
liable now than ever.

Obituary.

The sudden death of Mr.. NJ. D..
Farr, on the 18th, removes a venerable
and highly respected citizen of nearly
four score years. Mr.. Farr died while
at work in the field, on the farm which
had been his home since early boy
hood; having been born in Corinth in
1919. On this farm with Mrs. Farr,
whose death preceded his a few
months, had been passed their married
life; they being survived by an only
daughter, who in late years has been
devoted to the care and companion
ship of her aged parents.
The home of the Fairs has ever been
very hospitable one, extending be-
yond the limits of the family, many
sorrowing friends speaking in praise of
the kind and generous hospitality Civ
en- the worthy, by members of this
formerly cheerful but now sorrow
stricken home. Mr.. Farr was liberal
in religious faith, and in deeds of
kindness full up to the highest christ
ian standard.
1t can well be said that the hospi-
tality of this home has been given with
a spirit of generosity far exceeding
that of charity, which has long been
called the greatest of the christian
graces. True also to his marked indus
try, Mr.. Farr fell at his post of labor,
at time of life when he had more
than earned the rest due to age. He
goes to his reward after a long and
worthy life on earth, mourned by
large circle of friends. j.

To the Editor Of the United opinion.

To the Editor Of the United Opinion.
DEAR SIR: In your last weeks pa
per your Newbury correspondent
speaks of having copies of the New
Testament and Noah Webster's spell
ing book printed by Ira White in 1S43,
and asked for information concerning
Captain Ira Whites printing press.
AS | worked in the printing office over
a year l have concluded to write this.
Capt. Ira White came to Wells River
in the early part of this century
and manufactured both writing
and wrapping paper. The old
paper mill then stood up the river
from the present new mill, but upon
the same water privilege and dam
from which the present mill takes wa
ter to propel its machinery. He kept
book and paper store in the village
in the second story of the building now
called the Bachop block, afterwards he
erected the store now owned by the
jeweler, Mr.. Jesse Sheldon. Some
time prior to 1910 his printing press
was IN an old building which stood
little east of the present paper mill,
way. This old building disappeared
loIS dSO' i IlC Dl llIIlllS DItSS uSCN
then was a hand press. After Mr.
White erected his new store as afOre-
said, he used it for a store, printing of
flee and book bindery, and it was in
this office that the New Testament and
Webster's spelling book were printed,
and the printing press was of later
and better invention than the one used
in the old building near the paper mill
as above stated.
The work done was the printing of
the New Testament and the spelling
book, both from stereotype plates, and
job printing such as hand bills and
auction notices. In the book binding
besides the books printed by him, blank
books, account books of all kinds were
made from the writing paper manu-
factured by him and bound and carried
by his employees, who travelled all
over northern Vermont and New
Hampshire with two horse teams, and
sold together with all kinds of paper
by him. These peddlers
as they were called, took rags and all
kinds of barter, as we'll as cash when
they could get it in exchange for the
paper and books.
The white rags were used in the
making of the writing paper, and the
wrapping, or brown paper as it was
called, was composed Of straw with
enough colOred rags beat with it to
give it strength.
Capt White experimental a good
deal with various kinds of raw materi- /
al for paper stock, such as corn husks
and flag blade or leaf, but he did not
try wood.
Capt. White died at the home of one
Of his daughters, Mrs. VIM. G. Blu
chanan, resident of this village,
who doubtless will tell your CORE
,pondent much concerning her fathers
making paper and printing of books,
md it may be she can exhibit some Of
-he writing paper made by him. Capt.
White was very aged when he die d.
nearly one hundred years old.
