Interesting Things About the Fameuse
Apple

The history of the Fameuse apple
in Vermont reaches back to 100, and
in Canada a hundred years further.
This history is not so well known as
that of the Indian wars, but it is fully
as interesting, and has quite as close
connection with early colonization and
with the subsequent progress of civili-
cation. In fact, students of history
are coming to see more and more that
wars and politics are not so signifi-
cant as industry, invention and agri-
culture.
The Fameuse apple has this advan-
tage over many varieties that it can,
with fair degree of success, perpetu-
ate itself by seed, whereas most varie-
ties have to be distributed by means
of gratis. This was especially an ad-
vantage in the early colonizing days,
before commerce was established and
before nurseries were known.
Sometimes, however, the Fameuse
seedlings varied more or less from the
parental type, and came to be recog-
nized as separate varieties, like the
Mcintosh, Shiawassee, Scarlet Pippin,
Louise, La Victoire, ETC., so there are
now a whole group of the Fameuse
progeny. These have been sought
out and described and their histories
recorded, along with the romantic tale
of the original Fameuse, by the Yer
mont experiment station. A new bull
letin by the horticulturist on Apples
of the Fameuse Type" tells the story,
1t is at once a paper on a modern hor-
ticultural topic and a trif1ing contri'
button to American history.

ELY COPPER MINES SOLD.

ne Westinghouse EIeCtTlC SoHPdHJ
Will Build a Railroad to White
River Junction and Erect Big
Shelters There.
The Ely copper mines in Vershire
passed into the absolute control of the
Westinghouse Electric company Mon
day, when the last payments for the
purchase were made in Boston to Rob-
ert f. Straine.
The Westinghouse people have had
large force of several hundred men
at work on the mines during the past
year with satisfactory results placing
the property on a paying basis. EX-
tensive new development work has
been done and large ore bodies opened
up.
New furnaces have been erected and
special processes have been success
fully adopted for the treatment OF
these ores on a more economical basis
than in the past history of the mines.
| 1t is proposed in the spring to build a
railroad from the Ely mines to White
| River Junction at which point it is in
| tended that large reduction and smelt-
ing works will be established for the
permanent operation of the mines.
This practically is the oldest copper
mine in America having been success
fully and profitably operated during
successive periods under different
arrangements since 1920. It's main
working shaft is down nearly 5000 feet
| on the incline. At one time over 1000
men were employed in these mines.
These mines have produced as high
as five or six million pounds of refined
I copper per annum. 1t is expected that
the coming year will show a produc-
ton of from seven to ten million
pounds of refined copper from these
ELY mines.
Mr.. Straine has owned the control
ling interest in this property since
1894, but owing to fierce contentious
and long continued litigation the
mines were operated only for a brief
period of this time, and Mr.. Straine
finally consented to dispose of the
property to settle all litigation and
secured Mr.. Westinghouse and his as
oociates as purchasers. This means
a permanent development of the cop
per mines in the Coppertield region
which will result in important bene
fits to that locality and the state al
| large.
