Proctor Owns a Town.

Senator Proctor is practically the
owner OF the entire town Of Proctor
VT. The quarries are among the larr
est in the world. Nearly 1000 men are
employed, and they live on the system
pursued in some mining communities.
The senator rents them their houses
or sometimes sells them small pieces
of land and erects dwellings for them,
The only store in the place is an enor-
nous general store, owned and oper-
ated by Proctor, where absolutely ey-
erything can be purchased. Here the
men do practically all their trading.
Proctor pays them well for their work,
and then they give him back about
80 per cent of their wages for rent
groceries, clothing heat, light, etc. If
| Proctor so desired, he could make an
enormous amount of money from the
men, for he could dictate prices on all
the necessities of life. He does not do
this, however, but sells them goods
cheaper than they can get them any
where else.

AN AsseNr-MINDED LAWYER.
Put a Fish Sent Him in His Desk ana
Forgot 1t for Several Days.


A well-known Philadelphia lawyer
who visits Atlantic City every summer
was the recipient one day last week OF
a large fish, the gift of fisherman
whose acquaintanoe he had cultivated
at the shore. The fish came by express,
and was tied up in canvas. The law
yer placed it in his roll-top desk,
which he closed, and then went out to
keep an appointment.
He did not return to his office that
afternoon, and the next day business
called him to New York, and he forgot
all about the fish, which he had intend
ed sending out to his home. He re-
turned from New York suffering from
a severe cold, which confined him to
the house for several days, although
he was in constant communication
with his office by telephone.
On the fourth day he was told that a
strange, penetrating and decidedly Of
fensive odor was permeating the office
and that it seemed to come from his
closed desk. 1t was not until then that
the lawyer thought of the fish An Of
flee boy was immediaely sent to his
house for the key, the desk was opened
and the remains of the fish removed.

RAILROAD h[W5,
ORGANIZATION OF COMPANY

Plan Copper Refinery
Promoters Of the Road Coming to
Valdez in About a
Month.

Railroad matters have been ut
almost standstill the past few
weeks, but the promoters in the
States are actively at work COM
pleting the organization. Several
late Seattle and Eastern papers
speak OF the road very encourage
ingly and there is no doubt but
that it will be built, and that active
work will commence very soon.
Mr.. +. c. Helm principal pro-
moter Of the road. Mr.. Mcdonald
the contractor, and the banker of
the company telegraphcd this week
that they would be up by the first
OF December. The company are
planning on building a large cop
per refinery at Buffalo \. Y. and
shipping the smelling ore from here
to that city. The following regard
ing this plan is from the Buffalo
Evening News.
According to an authorized
statement made by Oliver 5. Gar
retson, OF Garretson, Cox Il Co.,
negotiations are now in progress
for the location on the Niagara
frontier, OF an immense copper re-
finery.
"The company is capitalized at
$50, 600, 900, will own its own steam
ship and railroad lines and will re-
quire from 800 to 400 acres Of land
for site.
"The name Of the concern, which
is seeking to locate in this vicinity,
is the Copper River Mining Co.,
which owns copper mines in the
Chittyna valley, in Southeastern
Alaska. They are at present ne
gotiating for the building Of a line
of steamers from Valdez, Alaska to
Seattle, and will construct a rail-
road from Eagle on the Yukon, to
Valdez on the coast.
"They require 300 to 400 acres
with water frontage, 50 that
smelted copper can come down from
the Northwest by water, for rail fa-
cilities. and large electrical sup
ply. The most considerable ele-
ment OF expense in refining copper
is electrical power, as the process OF
separating the pure copper from
the other elements III pig copper is
an electrical process. The fact that
they need electricity and q large
amount of it, is the reason they
wish to locate OH the Niagara from
