Pulp Mills in Aroostook County.

In the direction Of the theory that
pulp and paper mills are destined 10
move further inland TO the source of
supply of their stock, is scheme men
toned by Hon. A. A. Burleigh, pres-
dent of the Bangor and Aroostook Rail
road Company in Augusta, last week
The kennebec Journal says:
He stated that heavy capitalists had
been investigating the Fish river water
powers with view to developing them
and erecting an immense pulp mill. H.
had been deyoting some attention to
furnishing them with information con-
c,fnlng the extent of the water power of
the river, and the lumber resources of
The region. He declares that the river
if improved would furnish one of the
best, If not the best, water power in the
State.

The discovery of the famous Trojan
mine In Calaveras county, Cal, is curl
Gus as an illustration of pure luck and
doubtless has heartened many dis
couraged miner In January. 1865,
Henry Becker, German aud John l..
Trimmer, Connecticut man, two poor,
ragged. discouraged mining prospect
Ors, went into the mountains of Gala
veras county to cut oak wood for fuel.
They expected to make something like
$50 or $40 each per month during the
winter by the sale of the wood. They
made their home in an old abandoned
miners cabin. a heavy fail of snow
had covered the ground to the depth of
two or more feet.
One day the two men built great
bonfire of brush. The heat melted the
snow and left an area of hot earth.
Becker determined to make an oven
out of the hot ground. and. securing a
haunch of deer meat, he began the
digging of hole in which to bake
it. At the depth of two feet he
came upon a bed of rock. He had been
a prospeetor too long to resist the temp
tation of examining the rock. and. ac-
cordngly, before placing the meat in
the hole he broke off piece of the
rock
Then, after the venison was buried
aud roasted. he examined the broken
bit of rock carefully by the light of his
cabin candle. To his very great aston
ishment. it proved to be what miners
call live rock. assaying 5000 to the ton
For several months Becker and Trim
mer kept their great find a secret. in
the meantime gathering information
concerning the dip angle and length
and breadth of their now discovered
ledge. Within year from its discov-
cry this mine bad made Becker and
Trimmer rich. Philadelphia Times.

Death of Ex-Minister Phelps.

Hon. E. j. Phelps, former minister to
England, died at his home on Humphrey
street late Friday afternoon after an ILL
ness of about two months.
Edward John Phelps was born in Mid
dlebury, VT, July l, 1922. He came OF
ancestors famous for their legal learning
and prominence In American political
life. He was graduated from Middle
bury college in 1910, and at once took up
the study of the law with Horatio Sew
mour. He WAS admitted to the bar of
the State of Vermont in 1913, and at once
took prominent position as lawyer.
Under the administration of President
Fillmore he was second comptroller of
the treasury serving to the close of that
administration.
la April, 1885, President Cleveland APP
pointed him United States minister plen
ipotentiary to Great Britain. He was
appointed one of the international COM
missioners on the Behring Sea contro-
versy, and was also one of the Venezuela
arbitration commissioners. He was
honored with the degree of Doctor at
Laws by Middleburv college in 1879, by
the University of Vermont in 1887 ana
by Harvard in 1887.

Free-Trade In PaDer.

There Is no industry the development
of which illustrates the benefits of the
Protective policy more than that of the
manufacture of paper. Recently pro.
position has been introduced into Cor
gress, by Free. Trade Congressman.
to place newspaper and pulp upon the
free list. 1t is but natural that there
should be some following TO this PROPOSE.
ton, both on account of the minority
Free-Trade element in Coz gress and
the ignorance of a large portion of the
said minority. There are, however.
some facts in this connection that are
worthy of serious consideration.
On account of the great production OF
spruce in Canada and the nevei-failing
water supply, Canada with Free Trade
would become the paper producing ma
ton, and our industry, comprising al
most one thousand mills, would have To
either go out of business or move to
Canada. The author of the bill to place
newspaper and pulp on the free list pro.
badly did not know that the duty upon
paper from the United States to Canada
is % per cent aud that our duty upon
paper coming from Canada is equivalent
to 10 per cent. He also probably did not
know that in certain provinces in
Canada an internal tax, known as a
"stumpage tax" is placed upon spruce,
which amounts to 100 per ton of pulp
or per cord of wood exported to the
United States. Free Trade in imported
paper, the Canadian "stumpage" tax
upon spruce, aud the duty upon paper
going into Canada would result 10 the
absolute transfer of the paper industry
to Canada, thus building up the most
gigantic monopoly of paper ever known.
An Increase in cost of paper to the COL
sumner would follow as matter of
course. In view of these facts, which
are so we'll understood by the greatest
consumers of the product In this coul :
try, it seems astonishing that this indu,-
try should be singled out for slaughter
by Free Traders. 1t is safe to say, how.
ever, that the bill introduced for the
abolition of duty on newspaper and pulp
will never leave the Ways and Means

american Economist.
