ms company. organized by Boston

tered to acquire, equip, incorporate
finance and operate business, mining
and other Industrial enterprises which
on examination, are approved by its
directors as conservative and profit
able investments.

Such property is the Grand Canon
Copper and Silver Mine, located II
miles south of the Grand Canon of the
Colorado, in Coconno county, Ariz.-
mine concerning which Mr.. w. II.
Ferguson, Mining Engineer, of Pres
colt, Ariz., says: 81 have known the
LOngfellow group of mines 81 years:

| Verde group more than 20 years, and
NONE OF THESE PROPERTIES

spent to develop Them"
Mr.. Ferguson reports on this prop
erty ores running from ALP per cent
to "a per cent copper, the latter car
rying also % ounces of silver, with
traces of gold. Mr.. Ferguson is one
of the oldest mining engineers in Ari-
IONA, and his report is endorsed as
conservative by George A. Treadwell,
Mining and Mechanical Engineer of
Prescott: by John B. Cleveland, Min
ing Engineer, of Prescott, and by Col
G. G. Bean, manager of a large copper
property at Tucson.
Prof. Arthur Hendey, Mining and
Mechanical Engineer, of Prescott, af-
ter examination of the property, says:
Il think it is THE BEST NINE, with
more good ore to take out at once, than
can be found IN ARIZONA TODAY, =
THIS NINE HAS BEEN a CON-
STANT SHIPPER OF 80 TO 80 PER
CENT ORE SINCE LAST MAY.
OVER 100 TONS HAVE BEEN
SHIPPED TO OCTOBER 2D, AT A

throat cut from ear to ear, while over
turned chairs and an open window told
OF murder that was never explained.
Two women have committed suicide
in the fated dwelling.
Neighbors began to fear the house.
Superstitious people walking by at
night were positive they saw strange
white forms fitting through the rooms,
while wierd cries came from ghostly
lips. For months the house was ten
antless. Last summer, however,
stolid, fearless German moved in with
his family, laughing at the tales told
him by his neighbors. Nothing hap
pened, but after few months resi-
dence the German, for some reason,
moved out, and another tragedy was
added to the long list. For, as, he
stepped from the door, after having
seen the last of his furniture moved, he
gave groan and fell to the sidewalk.
He was dead when picked up. And now
the old familiar For Rent" is tackled up
on the door, but no one goes near the
house.

An hour later ]
met an exception to this rule who had
failed to grasp the opportunity that
would make him great.
Eastern critics do not grant Chicago
many laurels as literary center, but
an occasional book is issued from Chi
cago publishing houses that proves to
be great. In fact, the greatest selling
book of recent years, I'm His Steps,"
came from Chicago pressrooms, and
that other great book of the times,
David Harum," might have done so
had one Chicagoan improved the oppor-
tunity which fortunes tide offered him.
When the manuscript of David
Harum" first started on its search for
u publisher it drifted first of all into
the office of a Chicago firm of publish
ers, hoping that from there it would
have better opportunity of seeing the
light of print than it would from the
larger concerns in New York. The au
thor, Edward Noyes Westcott, was I'M
known as a writer, and the manuscript
was sent over the same course that hun
dreds of other manuscripts are sent
each year. It went with a number Of
Others to a reader, young man, and
he read part of 1t and pronounced 1t
"rot" of the worst kind.
The manuscript was in due time re-
turned to the sender, and the young
reader had missed his opportunity to
pose in the literary world as new star
of unusual brilliancy.
1t is but one of the exceptions that
prove the rule of my old friends state
ment.

Quo ~ and even safe on

loudly and looking over his shoulder oc-
casionally in fear Of the unknown
awful something. 1t is very ordinary

badly injured that he never worked

of the house, now choked with weeds,
the notorious H. H. Holmes, the multi
murderer, who finally met his fate at
the end of rope, enticed a little boy to
his "castle" on Sixty-third street, from
where the boy never emerged alive.
One family who occupied the house
kept boarders. One morning one OF the

Shortall had proposed the whipping
post and pillories when they visited
Chicago the dogs disappeared to great
extent. The canine frequenters of
back yards and garbage piles were sud-
denly missed from their accustomed
haunts, much to the relief of an over
burdened public, and President Short
all was given the credit for the radiance
of an exceedingly Objectionable nui-
sance.
1t was on July 6 that President Short
all started his hirelings out to catch
dogs, and while, as l have said, the dogs
seemed to suddenly disappear, yet the
man with the wire hoop and a dog
wagon succeeded during the summer
months in rounding up the goodly mum
Der of 1925 CANNES, of which number
1866 met death by Mr.. Shortall's i'm
proved methods OF destruction, but
death just the same.
That Chicago people do not place a
high value on their canine pets is proven
by the fact that Of all the great number
Of dogs caught there were but 124 of
them which their owners valued suffi-
GENTLY to pay the slight tax that would
redeem them. True, there were many
others owned by sympathetic but
penurious maidens who found 1t more
profitable to shed few tears in the
presence Of the mayor or chief of police
than to pay the tax, and the result was
just the same.
Now the Chicago people are saying
that as dog catcher and exterminator
Mr.. John G. Shortall is a decided sue
cess But the dog season is over, and
the dogs are thick again.

Reorganized.

On October % the Barre Supply
Company, till then conducted by W.
r.. Campbell and a. j. Cave, was re-
organize d as stock company, capital
lied at $4,000. Mr.. Campbell is
president and general manager of the
new company. The Barre Supply
Company originated several years ago
among some of the engineers. They
sold out their business to Herbert An
ker: and a. }. Cave, later bought an
interest i'm the business, and then the
whole of it. On January LIST, 1899.
Messrs. Cave and Campbell entered
into partnership, with an office in the
new Miles building. 1t was only a
few months before the almost phe-
nomenal growth of their business
forced them to seek new quarters,
and they moved to the basement of
the, Worthen block, where they have
ample quarters and carry a large stock
of belting hose, engine supplies,
paints, varnishes, etc. Messrs. Cave
and Campbell are both practical en-
gineers, and the new company, with
it's increased capital, will be able to
handle stock of supplies that will be
a great convenience to manufacturers
in Northern Vermont. They have
two travelling statesmen on the road
now and hope to see their business in
crease so that they can start at least
as many more.

"Humph, box s14, and a 2-11 at

the weather is so dry, don't fail to let

DR.. Samuel j. Jones, a Chicago ply
stefan and graduate from the medical
service of the navy during times of
peace, is the man who would make of
Chicago second Philadelphia. He has
enlisted the sympathy of the city coun-
Gil, Chief Ripley, OF the police force;
the railroad presidents and the milk
trust in this new crusade against noise.
But, while all have made fair promises,
the noise continues with undated
vigor.
DIR. Jones insists that the noises Of
Chicago tend to lessen the span of life;
that they are unjust to the well and to
the sick alike, and that to stop them will
decrease the Chicago death record at
least 50 per cent. DR.. Jones admits that
he himself is sick and disturbed by the
noise.
There are people in Chicago who
claim that this crusade against noise is
responsible for Admiral Dewey's deci-
sion not to visit Chicago during the re-
cent fall festival, as he was afraid the
city might charge him with having dis
turbed the peace of the world with the
noise he made at Manila bay on that
memorable May 1.
