Gold Mine in Moretown.

The town of Moretown has voted to eX-
empt from taxation 10 years the plant and
equipment of the Tale Mining company
which will begin operations before April
LIST next. The Mad River Valley Gold
Mining company has been formed with a
capital of $4,000 by Boston capitalists to
work claims in Moretown. For the past
two years a Mr.. Wells of Boston has
been prospecting along the shores and
bed of Mad river and has discovered gold
in quantities which, it is expected, will
increase in amount upon being systemati-
cally worked
One farmer has been offered by the
company about $4,000 for a $1,000 farm, as
gold has been discovered in his door yard
in sufficient quantities to pay for work.
ing. He refused to sell, however, expect
ing a greater price later
The company has bought of ]. H.
Knapp at a fancy price strips of land on
his farm a mile long and 100 feet wide, on
each side of Mad river, and has options
on other land adjoining The company
wished to buy the entire farm but Mr.,
Knapp, like his neighbors, believes in the
existence of gold there and intends to
share in the general rake off" when
IT comes.
The company will begin work at once
and will build a dam across the river in
order to conduct their mining according
to the placer system. These operations
will be watched with the keenest interest
by the people of the town for their belief
in the Mad River Eldorado is growing
daily.
