OF LOCAL INTEREST.

The November issue of '"The Spirit of
TO- published in. New York city, con-
tains the conclusion of very intensely
illustrated article on Lafayette" by
General George Fl. Ford, of this city.
The closing portion Of the article Is as
follows: T.
Upon the fall of Napoleon and the
establishment of provincial govern
ment, Lafayette was placed at the head
Of a commission to treat with the al
lied powers, which position he filled, in
spite of his advanced age, with the
same honor and fearless integrity that
had characterized his entire life.
He had almost reached his three
score and ten. He 1onged to visit once
more the country to which he was SO
much attached, and view the evidences
of her growing wealth and power. Ac-
companied by his son, George Washing
ton Lafayette, he arrived in the harbor
of New York on the 18th of August, 1924.
To describe the brilliant parades, the
triumphal professions, the costly fetes,
the balls, the parties which followed
him upon his Journeys as he visited the
various scenes of his early campaigns;
to recite the fine speeches and describe
the great enthusiasm of his triumphal
tour, would be impossible. He visited
the tomb of Washington, and was re-
ceived by congress in a speech by Hen
ry Clay. He went to Charleston, Au-
gusta, Nashville, Buffalo, New York,
Boston, stopping at New Haven in the
month of August. The Second Compa-
ny of Governors Foot-Guard acted as

NEW PRESIDENT ELECTED
OF the Person Consolidated Copper and
Gold Mines Company.

OF the Person Consolidated Copper and
Gold Mines Company. j.
At meeting of the board of directors
of the Person Consolidated Copper and
Gold Mines company, held Wednesday
in Westville the resignation of Mr.. e.
B. Beecher, president and treasurer,
was rendered and accepted. Mr.. Beech
err resigns on account of Illness, which
for some time has prevented his taking
an active part in the management of
the mine.
Mr.. William S. Beecher, the former
director of public works, and brother of
the retiring president, was elected his
successor. The new president is not at
present engaged in active business, and
will be able to give his personal atten-
ton to the affairs of the company.
Mr.. L. N. White, manager of the
mine, was present at the meeting of the
board Of directors, and reported the un-
covering of an immense body of very
rich ore, carraying large percentages of
gold and silver with the copper, suffi-
cient to supply the present mill for
years to come, even If no further devel-
opment work is done. This body Of
rich ore was believed to exist by those
most familiar with the mine from the
beginning, and It's being found now
proves their good judgment, and justi-
fies the most sanguine predictions. The
future of the mine under the new man
agement seems assured beyond perad-
venture.
Tho ahnuo will he ra1n cif,er IN
many residents of this city and vicini-
ty, who are stockholders in the compa-
ny. The following extract from a re-
cent number of the Commercial Bulle-
tin of the returns from the Calumet and
Hecla mines gives an idea of the posi-
bilities of mining:
Directors Of the Calumet and Hecla
Mining company announced to-day a
dividend of ten dollars per share, or 40
per cent on the $2,500,000 capital stock
of the company, which has par value
of twenty-five dollars per share.
In the last quarter forty per cent. was
paid, and for the corresponding period
of 1902, twenty per cent. The dividend
just announced makes thirty-five dol
lars per share for the year or 140 per
cent. Total dividends to shareholders
of s82,350,0O0, including the last quarter
of 1903, is shown by the company. The
dividend of the company is, 700 per cent.
for 1902, 1870 per cent. in 1901, $40 per
cent. in 1900 800 per cent, in 1899, $50
per cent. in 1898, 100 per cent in 1897, 100
per cent. in 1896, and 100 per cent. i'm
1896. And when it is realized that the
Calumet and Hecla company's ores run
less than one per cent. copper, and the
Person company's ore runs from five to
seven per cent. copper, besides the val
ues in gold and silver, with apparently
inexhaustahle quantities of rich smelt-
ing ore carrying from twenty to hirty
per cent. copper, the comparison is GER
tainly favorable to the Person mine.

ing inasmuch as there may be many
people in the state who might make OBJ
lection to the planting of trees in front
OF their houses. You will understand
that these are things which an abutting
owner might object to. So it has been
lest to the discretion Of the seIectmen
and the state highway commissioner
to say where these trees shall be plant
ed. However, it would be well for your
engineers to make notes Of all places
suitable for the planting of trees upon
sections to be improved by state aid
and then indicate such places on the
plans. We will then plant the trees or
leave them out as the case may be.
I find that the State Board of Trade is
quite interested in this matter, and
there are many citizens and organiza-
tions interested also. n
I write this letter to you that you may
understand the wishes of the state and
govern yourself accordingly when MAX
ing your survey Of any section to be
improved under good roads law.

He was present on the 18th Of June at

OF the day, some SCARED and wounded

slaves, and with their children and

laying the foundation of that monument
