knew the insovcnt condition OF the said

and possession of the entire estate of the
SAID bankrupt not exempt by law for the
purpose of securing himself for a prior in

Benningtons Paint Mine-Granite BUSH
ness Good-Various Notes OF
State Interest.

About a mile from Bennington is a paint
mine that has been delved into for 90
years. In spite of the fact that its con-
tents resemble nothing more valuable than
red and yellow clay, 1t has yielded larger
sums of money than many a great gold
mine. The material, which seems exhaust
less in quantity, known to commerce as
oChgc, and is used extensively as color
base and in the manufacture of paper
and oilcloth. 1t is chemically known as
oxide of iron. or iron earth. and Is formed
by the breaking down and crumbling or
iron ore through the influence of oxygen.
The ochre is reached by means of hori-
zontal shafts. or tunnels; dug in the side
of hill. When the deposit is reached 1t
is found in red and yellow layers that dip
and rise successfully. The deposit il cas-
lily dug with pick and shovel. and in 1t
gre often found beautiful crystals several
inches in length, and "water-pots.' or
crusted and hollow Jumps partially filed
with water. In preparation for
the market the raw ochre is
passed through grinders and cleansed
by streams of water. which carry
1t into settling basins, aztec which the wa
ter is run off. the ochre in the form OF
clay shovelad into harrows and spread on
shelves under sheds where it is left to
dry Then It is ground to powder, packed
in barrels and shipped to market. Go TO
the nearest paint shop and ask to he

NO MILK SHORTAGE FEARED.
REPORTED ACTIVITY OF THE FIVE STATES
ASSOCIATION CAUSES LITTLE ALARM

ASSOCIATION CAUSES LITTLE ALARM.
II is not believed in this city that the reported
activity Of the Five States Mix Producers Asso-
citation in the direction of another endeavor to
force the payment of higher prices for milk by the
dealers 10 the farmers presages strike in the
immediate future The activity is thought to be
local The milk agents of the railroads and the
dealers say that there have been three in
stances OF milk being withheld by the farmers re-
Gently but that they have no news which leads
them TO believe that a general strike is imminent
In one of these instances milk was withheld in
order 10 obtain increase in price, but the milk
company affected die grant the request and
after two three days the milk forwarded
again. In another instance milk was held back
owing TO q misunderstanding. The dealer found
that he at fault and rectifed his mistake.
dispatch from Binghampton yesterday quoted
Ira l. Smell, member of the Sales Committee of
the Five States Mix Producers Association as
saying that there was never more opportune time
than for the organization to accomplish its
object because the butter and cheese makers
want the milk and New-York must have milk to
live" The dispatch stated further
The members of the Five States Milk Producers
make arrangements for getting their price or shut
or their products. but there have always been
producers outside OF the organization who have
furnished the New-York dealers with milk, so that
are now being rapidly brought into the organiza-
ton, and the Sales Committee believe that by Sep
20 the Aew-YoTk dealers.
Meetings Of milk producers have been held recent
y by the Owego and Western Route Union of the
Five States MIX Producers Associa ton in Della
ware and Chena3go counties. The meetings were
addressed by members Of the Sales Committee and
officers OF the association. The farmers who were
not members were urged to affiliate with the or
sanizatlon, and at some of the meetings reso!u-
nons were passed binding those having contracts
with milk dealers, TO decline 10 renew them when
they expire in order that they may be FREQ to act
with the association. The supply OF milk at the
present time is ample, notwithstanding the drouth
IL some sections, and no shortage is feared unless
the hot weather continues for several days. Rains
nave fallen in some parts of the State improving
the paSTurage
