Gave up SO, 900 Worth of Fruit and
Got no Money.
Milford, Del, June l2.-The straw
berry growers of Milford and vicinity
have received a setback at the COM
mencement of the season. A Philadel
phia firm made contracts with most Of
the growers in this section to buy their
crops at four cents basket and furnish
crates. They were to pay semi-weekly,
on Wednesday and Saturday. Last Wed
nesday the firm failed to materlalize and
again failed on Saturday. The farmers
now sadly realize that they have been
defrauded.
The firm got the berries upon the
strength Of their rating in Bradstfeet's ot
nom SlO,O 600 to $50 ONO, and it now turns
out they are worth nothing. A mob was
on hand to meet the Philadelphia man
last Saturday, when he promised TO come
to Milford and settle up.
Large amounts have been lost. one OF
81 400 and several Of $500 and $500
lie firms indebtedness around here
will aggregate $4,000.

Mining compauv's propert ties in the
Black Range OF New Mexico. is score
tary.
The property g located only q mile
and half from tie railroad and the
expense of getting the ore to the mill
will not be very large. The property
is now In condition to furnish q car of
ore every day and by the time the
mill is 10 running order IL will be
prepared to fornish two care, or fifty
tons per day.
The ore body in the mine IL thirty
feet wide. Big mines, in Dakota,
Alaska aud other places have demons
trated the fact that mines with large
bodies of low grade ore are the greatest
payers aud thai is what this company
has. Still there are many pockets In
the body that contain ore
of suoh a high grade that it will not
need to be concentrated but will be
shipped to the market as 1t Is taken
from the mine. In these pockets the
Zinc is 80 per cent pure and the copper
is 20 per cent. The average ore from
the mine ne ts from % to q to the ton.
The lead osrries some silver.
Citizens OF Demtng donated ten
acre tract of land for the mill site and
the whole town is enthused over the
locating of the plant in that place.

A Others Sec Is.

The vagaries of American journalism
Is a favorite theme with the transat-
Iantic editor. 1t Is possible that now
and then we on this side of the water
do allow Imagination to trespass upon
the domain of fact, but never surely
have we eclipsed the performance of
our contemporary. In representation
of the scene of the Hoboken fire pub
lished in one of the leading English IL
Illustrated weeklics the Hudson river
is shown to be spanned by two colossal
bridges, one Mt Twenty third street and
the other ut Fifty-ninth street. Where
the imagination of the artist received
Its stimulus we cannot tell, though we
might hazard guess, but certainly
this view was not drawn upon the
spot" or even from a photograph"
The two structures referred to exist
only upon paper That at Twenty-third
street was designed some dozen years
ago by Gustav Lilienthal. The Fifty
ninth street bridge bears a slight re-
semblance to the design drawn up by
an army board of engineers for 5000
foot cantalever with a view to estimat-
Ing its cost in comparison with the cost
of 1000 foot suspension bridge. Bad
ly as these two bridges are needed, the
cost is prQhibitive, for not even the
most sanguine promoter dares to assert
that their revenues would cover the in
terest on the initial outlay of from
S11O 0OO. 600 to $40. OOO. 900 for bridges,

customers, and treats them right
when they come, and one who will

ers.
1t you want to buy, 90 to the
same one-he knows titles. You
want clear title.
If your property or life is not
insured you are taking chances
long ones, Most of us can't af
ford to take them. If you can't.
go to the agent who knows the in
