\ Big Wool Purchase,

The heirs of the johnson estate last
week sold the wool which was stored on
the johnson farm and which for years
has been alluded to in Brandon as "the
johnson boys wool" The Johnsons
were never enormously large wool
growers. but neither were they very large
sellers, preferring to store their crop
each year, no matter what the selling
price was. awaiting'a better market. The
wool which was sold last week was the
accumulation of years and there has been
much speculation in Brandon as to how
much there was and how much would be
found to be in good condition when il
finally came to be sold. The estimates
in Brandon at the time of Zeb Johnson's
death, some two years ago, generally
placed the quantity at from 10000 to
10000 pounds, although one of the
Seager brothers made the statement at
that time that the estimates were all too
low, that in his opinion there was up
wards of 10000 pounds. When the
present buyer examined the wool he
made an offer, which was accepted, of
Is, 20 and % cents per pound
according to grade and condition,
and estimated the amount at 10000
pounds. The wool was all found to be in
good condition and it averaged better
than 30 cents per pound. 1t weighed
out on the scales at 1900 pounds

BENNINGTON'S PAINT MINE
Curious Freak of Nature Turned to Finan-
cial Profit by Owners.


About a mile from Bennington is a
paint mine that has been
delved into for GO years. In spite
of the fact that its contents resemble
nothing more valuable than red and yell
low clay, it has yielded larger sums of
money than many a great gold mine.
The material, which seems eXhaustless
in quantity, known to commerce as
ochre, and Is used extensively as color
base and in the manufacture of paper
and ollcloth. 1t is chemically known as
oxide of iron, or iron earth, and Is form
ed by the breaking down and crumbling
of iron ore through the influence of oXy-
gen. The ochre is reached by means of
horizontal shafts or tunnels, dug In the
side of hill When the deposit is
reached it is found in red anC yellow
layers that dip and Ilse successfully.
The deposit is easily dug with pick and
shovel, and in 1t are often found beauti-
full crystals several inches in length, and
and water. pots" or crusted and hollow
Jumps partially filled with water. In
preparation for the market the raw ochre
is passed through grinders aud cleanscd
by streams of water, which carry 1t into
setting basins, after which the water is
run off, the ochre in the form of clay
shoveled into batrows and spread on
shelves under sheds where it is left TO
dry. Then it is ground to powder, pack
ed in barrels and shipped to market. Go
to the.nearest paint shop and ask 10 be
shown some yellow ochre and get the
painter to explain how serviceable II is
in his business. There are two OF these
mines in operation now, where there
were half dozen fifty years ago.

With the close of the Spanish Ameri-

ment at Washington many requests from
all sections of the country for captured
guns or relics Of any kind. Finding 1t
impossible to crafty all these desires a
decision was made that to each state
would be assigned or given one trophy.
Shortly after that decision was arrived at
letter was received by the village clerk
of Mortified from Gov. +. C. Smith
stating that the Vermont trophy would
come to Northtield. The village author
tiles decided that there was no better
place for it than to place it in the Gus
todianshlp of the university, and nothing
more was heard of the matter till Friday
last, when one of the guns from the
Spanish battleship Vizcaya arrived and
was placed On the Central Vermont sid
ing. The gun is some II feet long and
on it has these inscriptions: "Trophy
Of Vizcaya, Santiago. July 3, 1898 ii
CM. Il. r. Astilleros del Nervion Bllboa
