AIoat Lad Mine.

Years ago there was a profitable
lead mine in the town of Thetford.
Concerning it George s. Worcester OF
that town writes to the Montpelier
Journal as follows: In reply to the
inquiry of G. l.. Smith as to what has
become of the lead mine in Thetford,
would say that the shaft he speaks OF
was sunk to about $50 feet then run
along a short distance on a level. The
ore showed a large percentage of sill
yer, so much in fact that the silver
paid the running expense, leaving the
lead a clear profit. About $50 feet
below the surface a vein "spattered
out" The company had little capt.
tai, they opened the hill here and there
did not find a good vein and gave it up.
Since then the men of large expert
ence and plenty of funds have looked
the property over and tried to buy, but
the whole region is covered by min
eral rights" sold to parties or com
panies who are dead, and it has been
found impossible to get title so they
dared not invest anything. Joseph
|. Bicknell claims three acres of land
where the shaft was sunk and furnace
erected. Could a good title be Sc
cured the kork would have been re-
sumed. If the bill passed at the last
Legislature results in clearing up the
titles it may result in large mining
here. This same vein crops out at
intervals for more than 10 miles.

assayed that ran 30 per cent silver

$4,000 Fire Loss in Bennington.

Fire Sunday evening destroyed the
wooden buildings on North street,
Bennington, belonging to H. d. Fill
more and Mrs. Luther and John
Evans, and damaged those belonging
to George F. Heath and H. G. Breeze
adjoining.
The lower floor in Filmore's build
ing was occupied by Chambers fish
and fruit market, and McGurk's bar
Der shop. There were two tenements
up stairs, one of which was occupied
by Larry O'Toole.
The fire was discovered in Chand-
ler's store about 8 o'clock. Frozen
hydrants and overhead wires hinder
ed the firemen at first. On the first
floor of Evanss building was the
shoe store of Joseph Evans, and the
family of John Evans occupied the
upper stories.
The fire spread so rapidly that
nothing was saved from any part, and
it took the firemen nearly two hours
to get the flames under control.
O'Toole had no insurance. Fillmore
had $1,000 insurance on his building,
and McGurk had $500 on his furnish
ings. Evans had $500 on his build
ing with nothing on his furniture, and
$4,000 on his shoe stock.
The total losses will be fully $l0,-
900. Heath's loss is fully covered
by his insurance.

The Situation in South Africa.

Gen. Kitchener is permitting little
news to leak out of South Africa, and
nothing definite is known as to the
real situation in Cape Colony. 1t is
said that the Boer raiders are within
$50 miles of Cape Town. On the
other hand, according to dispatches
from Pretoria and Bloemfontein, com
mittees of influential Beers are at
work to bring about peace. The Bri-
fish government no longer demands
unconditional surrender with the un-
derstanding that the Beers are to be
deported. Already compromise is be-
ing talked Of and plans are being con-
sidered which it is hoped will be &C;
ceptable to the Beers. There will, of
course, be no yielding so far as war
in the field is concerned. but it is be-
lieved that Gen. Botha, President
Steyn and other leaders are willing
to consider fair terms of surrender,
and there is strong party in Eng
land favoring a programme of adjust
ment that will conciliate the Beers
and hold them in the Orange Free
State and in the Transvaal with no
great hostility to the conquering
power.
