Twin City Electric company, be
emula ted in combining the two cities
now. this spring, without delay. This
is the OppOrtune time, on the eve of a
great development of the diversified
interests of the Wisconsin river valley.
Follow the union of the two cities
with the development of our great
water power interests here and our
future growth will be substantial and
rapid. Reader, think it over seriously
and let Us each do our part towards
carrying it out. There are no cities
in the Wisconsin valley that can
receive more benefits from the general
growth in the valley than Centralia
and Grand Rapids if we prepare our
selves to accept them. Will you
accept the opportunity or sit idly by
and do nothing and allow the neigh
boring cities to carry off the benefits?
We are in favor of organized effort,
lets join hands and pull! together for
the general good. These are our sent
imentS.

Death of John n, Whorton,

John II. Whorton, one of the oldest
citizens of Appleton and we'll known
to the old settlers of Wood county,
died last Saturday morning, January
y. For some time Mr.. Whorton had
been in failing health. He was born
March 20, 1924, in he parish of Kent,
Carleton county, n. B. He moved to
Appleton in 1850, when himself and
brother purchased a half interest in
the first flour mill of that city. Dis
posing OF this interest, they bought
pine lands on the Wolf river and later
erected saw mills, also purchasing the
mills, land and lumber of Gerard &
Drake at Vesper. The Vesper
property was transferred from Whor-
ton Brothers to the we'll known
Sherry, Cameron Co., and the subject
of this sketch returned to Appleton
where be resided until his death.
In 1854, John Whorton was married
to Martha Priscilla Levine, who died
in 1897. Of their seven children, five
survive: Mrs. William Powell, and
the Misses Jennie, Zoda, lone and
Georgine WhOrtOn, all of Appleton.

WILL BUILD METALLIC.
Wood County Telephone Co. to Rebuild Its
Exchange at a Cost of So 500,

a. q SOo1 VI pO'OSOs
At a meeting Of the directors of the
Wood County Telephone Co., held
Tuesday night, it was unanimously
decided to rebuild the entire exchange
and make it metallic with all the
modern up-tO-date appliances. The
manager, A. w. Bryant, was author
lied to go to Chicago and visit all
manufacturers of electrical materials
and obtain the latest improved ap-
plianceS for our exchange. When this
work is accomplished the Wood County
Telephone cOmpany'S exchange will be
second to none in the country.
The question of taking the Marsh
line was discussed pro and con and the
cOncenSuS of opinion appeared to be
that the users of that line ought to
each take share of stock $50 and pay
monthly rental of S1.0O per month
for each phone. At best 1t is thought
this line would have to be replaced
inside of two years. The present
phones would have to be replaced
right away and other repairs made
that would consume large share of
the amount received for stock. The
acceptance or rejection will be decided
at heir next meeting.
The Metallic Telephone Co. of
Adams county was encouraged in the
building of their contemplated line by
Offering them the best phones we have
at small rental for % years, also give
them connection with the Wood
County Telephone Co.'S exchange at
NekOoSa for 80 per cent of all the tolls.
This is virtually conceeding to them
their own terms. This new line will
give our exchange an outlet via
Necedah, Kilbourn and Portage to
Madison.
The lease or purchase of the Vesper
line now owned by G. r. GOldsworthy
was discussed pro and con and the
matter delayed until the directors
meet again. This line could not be
made free line until it was wholly
paid for out of the toll receipts. The
expense attached in keeping it up
compared with the few users would
not warrant the company making it a
free line for the few phones upon the
line.

THEY CONFER IN NEW YORK.
Big Enterprise For Wisconsin Valley District
LOOKS Like Bus ness Certainty.
From Milwaukee Journal.

New York, Jan. 27.-W. Fl. Bradley
Of Tomahawk, Wis, president of the
Wisconsin Valley Advance ment
association, and Wallace G. Collins.
formerly general manager of the ST.
Paul railway system, are at the Fifth
Avenue hotel in New York.
For the past four days their rooms
have been the scene of many private
conferences and in nearly every
instance their cOnfrereS have been
men prominent in electric railway
financing. 1t is known that at least
wo PitIsburg iron rail manufacturers
have held conferences with Mr.. Brad
ley and Mr. Collins, and one of the
twain is very closely connected with
tarnegie. The absence of that class
OF men known as promoters, and the
committee of the whole sessions held
to the exclusion of lhe press, has
awakened the widest interest.
William II. Bradley is the president
of the Wisconsin Valley Advancement
association, which proposes to build
an electric freight and passenger rail
way he entire length Of the Wisconsin
valley, but all efforts on the part of
he press to secure an audience with
either Mr.. Bradley or Mr.. Collins have
proven futile. The sailing of Mr..
Collins on Thursday for London has
still further cluuded the matter The
conclusions drawn are that the con-
ferenceS mean the financing of one of
The biggest electric railway deals made
in the west.
On Jan. ; The Journal stated that
upon his retirement from the general
management Of the Milwaukee rail-
road which he has since done. Mr.
Collins would make a long trip to
Europe and that after returning from
abroad he would probably engage in
the railroad and numbering business
with William H. Bradley.
Within the past month. since The
Journals article Was published, Mr.
Collins has been the guest of Mr.
Bradley at TOmahawk and a few days
ago Mr.. Bradley went to New York in
the interest Of his project of building
an electric railway along the upper
Wisconsin river. distance of $50
miles. Mr.. Bradley has been out
spoken ia regard to the feasibility of
his project, but he has been very
reticent as to the means that he
would adopt in order to accomplish it.
Under these circumstances the
conference at New York is very signi-
ticant.

The REPORTER received this week a
marked copy of The Telluride Journal
six column newspaper of fourteen
pages, elabOrately illustrated with
halflone pictures faithfully reproduc-
ing the scenes and mining plants in
the mountainous country where Mr.
Buckley is interested. The Journal is
devoted TO the interests Of Telluride
and San Miguel county and it sets
forth in emphatic and attractive
manner the possibilities OF that sec
tion Uf country and the existence of
rich networks of productive ore. The
pictures further suggest varied
beauties OF natural scenery tributary
TO the mines, tOrtuOuS trails, precipi-
touS gulches, deep canOns and inSpir-
ing peaks. Several columns are given
to the mention of the San JUAN Gold
Mining company, from which I'VE take
the following:
"The mill just completed lby the
San Juan company for the trdatmeut

and the San Juan Gold Mining

Confidence, energy and ent terpriSe

Successful IN Mining Operations.


The following paragraphs taken
from the Milwaukee Sentinel will
prove interesting reading to the
patrons of the REPORTER, most of
whom are acquainted with W. S.
Buckley, visitor in Grand Rapids
from time to time, and who married
daughter in one of our prominent
families, namely Miss Georgiana
Arpin. The Sentinel says:
w. S. Buckley, who left Milwaukee
four years ago, and who has since
become manager of the San Juan gold
mine in Colorado and state senator
from the Seventeenth Colorado sena-
t0rlal district, arrived in the city
Thursday to arrange for a visit of
Milwaukee owners of the San Juan
mine to Colorado. A cyanide mill of
200 tons capacity is to begin operations
at the mine on Feb. 6, and Manager
Buckley and the Milwaukee owners of
the property will be on the spot when
the plant begins Operatlon
The San Juan mine is in the Gold
King basin, Telluride, Southwestern
Colorado, seventy miles from the New
Mexico boundary. Manager Buckley
has been prospecting upon it for three
and One-half years. while at thej same
time putting the property into shape
for operation. A complete cyanide
mill, the largest in Southwestern
Colorado, was purchased at Denver.
1T took ten SiX-hOrse teams six months
to transport the machinery to it's
prospective site, which is lO.5OO feet
above the sea level: the mine itbelf is
1o,8OO feet above the level of the sea.
A FinlaysOn tram, a quarter Of j mile
long, consisting of cables upOn which
buckets carrying ore are strung. was
built recently at cost of S3S, 900, and
altogether the sum of $3.50. OOO has
been spent upon the mine. Mr.. Buck
ley said yesterday that numerous tests
of ore taken from various points in
the mine had been made, and he
believed it would assay on an average
so Il ton.
