suits. The main shaft. which is being sunk
on the Yellow Bird group, is now down $50
feet, but at that depth the vein has pitched
out OF the workings. A crosscut will be
started from this level and the vein again
intercepted. At the 100-foot level the vein
was about ten feet wide, the ore carrying
average values Of $40 a ton. The work on
the immense body Of ore in the Benedict
group OF the company has resulted in the
blocking out OF a great quantity Of ore,
which is now available for milling. This
ore is low grade and free-milling. and will
average something better than SO a ton.
On this group the company has a hve-ton
Chillian mill, which will be equipped with
Frue vanners and placed in operation on
the ore. This work will be for the purpose
Of thoroughly testing the ore before building
a large commercial plant.
New Vein.
James Demereau, while doing the an
nual assessment work on his Granite Reef
mine, two miles southwest Of Custer City,
uncovered a new vein. which is opening
up grandly. The vein is a vertical and
GU the formation at right angles, showing
a solid body Of quartz six feet in width.
1t is a blue ore, scanned with iron, and
looks rich, but as yet no tests OF II have
been made.
1t is reported that in the new shaft which
Is being sunk on the Blue Bird No. 2, one
OF the mines OF the Interstate Mining COM
pany. situated a short distance west Of
Custer City, som very rich ore has been
struck. The company owns a large acreage
Of ground and has been doing some extern
sive development work on 1t lately with
gratifying results.
The Golden Review is the name OF a
group OF claims recently located by Frank
and Will Todd four miles northwest Of the
city. The boys have opened up a strong
ledge, and are now taking out some very
good ore. They have a number OF veins
exposed on the ground, which they hope
will develop into something better than
prospects.
Herman Gaughenbaugh has been doins
considerable prospecting on his ground at
Nine Mile, and says that he has struck
some very good placer d~iggings on the high
bars in that vicinity. The dirt pans well
and almost all Of It would pay to run

standard Again Goes Lame.


The pretty incident printed in the
90 Standard published in Hoosick
Falls, to throw light upon the matter
now before the public, as to the name
which has been or should be given to
the battle fought on the 10th of Aug
ust TIT, which sealed the fate OF the
Burpoyne expedition, is certainly an
interesting story and if true to the
letter as 1T may be, settles the whole
matter which agitates the feelings of
present Hoosick patriots, in the under
standing of all fair minded disinter-
ested persons. Not to be sure as the
Standard claims, but in such way as
should lead its patrons to ask a change
of front in its attitude and that 1t
should exhibit such common sense as
the common influential papers of the
vicinity have always entertained.
The Standard of September 4th says,
''The battle fought at WalloomsSc
was 10 early days called the battle of
Hoosick and was so taught in the pub
lie schools, " and prints nearly col
umn, in small type, taken from
Towne's fourth reader to substaDtiate
it. The article itself only requires to
be read carefully to see that it sustains
the opposite theory to the one advocat-
ed by the Standard.
As we read along, the man Jackson
is said to be an inhabitant of Hancock
Mass, and hearing that Baum was adj
vancing towards Bennington he rode
to Hoosac to attach himself to the
corps. 1t would seem he was &C
quainted with the feeling Of the in
habitants of the place or his endeaVor
would not have been to 60 there, as he
or any one else did not know just
where or when a battle would be
fought, but his conscientious desire
was to get among his loyal friends in
the village Of Hoosac where was the
home of Col P6ster, half pay officer
Of the British crown
At this time there was no village of
consequence, where is now Hoosick
Falls, and where patriotism has sprung
up indigenous to the locality and is
laboring to blossom. The world about
and especially the thinking people of
Hoosick Falls, as they take the sober
second thought, will call to mind that
1t is one thing to show patriotism at
the mouth Of the musket and cannon
when the cause is ia danger Of being
defeated, and another to shout and
claim glory for great victory one
hundred and twenty six years after
the battle has been fought.
That jackson was taken prisoner is
not strange as he was fighting under
Col Pfster, for the story says be was
"among tie prisoners taken at the
battle of Hoosick by the Americans, "
not, as the Standard would like to
have it understood that he was taken
prisoner by some patriotic citizens Of
Hoosick, hut the Americas the pa
triotic fighting soldiers under Gen.
Stark, composed Of men from New
Hampshire, Massachusetts and Yer
mont, most Of the Vermont men being
from Bennington.
There we're one hundred and fifty
seven tories taken prisoners and it IS
perhaps not to be wondered at that
there should be one among thom With
such cranky ideas Of loyalty to the

king that he should make himself OBJ
noxioua to patriots and Bennington
having it hands full should
hand him over to a sheriff of
Albany county to be dealt with. The
same tory prisoners we're a care, and
probably a vexation, to the Council Of
Safety for a long time There was
no convenient place TO keep them, -
"By an entry September 4, l777 it
appears the prisoners we're in Captain
Dewey's barn, or some of them. They
were ordered to be removed to the
school bouse, "if there is sufficient
room for them in the meeting house
probably with what are already there
they are to be removed to the meeting
house in lieu Of the school house,
always with a proper guard over
them. 4"
So here we see this conscientious
lunatic, so far as be was willing to
throw his life away for the crown,
banded over to the officers Of the
state, and after it exhibiting that
fidelity to his word which all cannot
but admire, hut still seeking to be-
come a martyr to the unjust cause be
gloried in sustaining.
The whole story is one to interest
children for which it was intended, to
show the integrity of a simple minded
man, but one who had not the ability
to dscov the real reason for casting
his lot With the patriots of his coun.
try. 10 the direction of his integrity
he was to be praised and held up as an
example. but in that of his patriotic
duty to his country be was to be pitied
and despised. That the charge Of
high treason, 4" was not sustained
against this simple minded man be-
fore the Massachusetts Council is not
strange or that a pardon was immedi
ately sent to Springfield and be re-
turned to his family.
A mote at the close Of the sketch,
ssys, Baum, lBawnJ the English
commander, slain in the battle Of
Hoosac, generally called the battle of
Bennington. AS it has generally
been called, ever since, though some
times battle of Sancock, Siokle's
Mills, Hoosac, Walmscoik, ETC., and il
is sometimes now when mongrel patri-
otism is at fever heat called Wal
loomsac, it will undoubtedly continue
TO be generally called the battle Of
Bennington. This note in explana-
tion of the absurdity Of calling the
battle by any other name than that Of
bennington gives away the Standard
as it must by this time realize.
