Ore Discovered in Hunterdon County

Some ten wears ago lights were seen
better known ms the Yawger farm,
property of the late Samuel A. iaw-
ger At that time little or nothing
was thought of II i'll regard to max
ing further discoveries as to what
caused these surface lights to burn.
Some few weeks ago surface lights
were again discovered on this ssme
place. William c. MeMnniman who
is II son-iu-law Of Rev. j. W. McMan-
imam who il II son.inlaw of the late
Samuel A Yawger, took up the mat
ter in order that he might find out
what caused these surface lights. He
secured the services of an old expert
enced miner aud went to the exact
spot aud after digging some few feet
came down upon fine vein of rock
which when broken open showed
fine specimens of very valuable ore.
This experienced miner said il was
either tin ore or n very fine quality of
aluminium ore. Whichever it may
be the supply is great as it covers an
area of over one hundred acres which
contains millions of tons of this rock.
Samples were at once sent to the
State Geologist at Trenton aud to La
fayette College To determine the an
alysis of it.

May Mark Old Battlefield.

Since the article appeared in The
Courier NcwS some time ago telling
OF the skirmish of Oak Tree during
the Revolution, and the burial of Con-
tinental soldiers there, in unmarked
graves the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution have taken keen in
terest in the matter, and the prospects
are favorable for the erection of tab
let to mark this historic place.
Camp Middlebrook Chapter, Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution at
Buund Rrook, which has marked the
Revolutionary graves in the Bound
Brook Cemetery, has been interested
also in the account of the Oak Tree
burial place, following the sentiment
which prompts the Daughters to per-
petuate the memory of their forefath-
ers in the great struggle for liberty.
1t is probable that some steps will be
taken to mark this place.
BY the fortunate recollection Of
VIM. Kelly, of Oak Tree, whose
grandfather told him where he saw
the soldiers buried, the exact spot can
he located. While the fight was II
small one. it was very important
one, for it probably saved Washing
tons army by covering the retreat,
and Washington was able to escape
over the Watching mountains.
After that the British left Jersey
soil never to return to it. But for the
bravery Of the handful of Jersey farm
ers who laid down their lives at Oak
Tree on that memorable day, the his
tory of the Revolutionary War might
have been different, for the Golonists
who had endured all hardships dur
ing long struggle, with foes within
as we'll as outside their ranks, had
but little to hope for, when by sud
den turn in the tide Of war. victory
came to them.
There is no doubt but that the
Oak Tree skirmish ought to be mark
ed with monument as imposing as
the one at Bound Brook because of
the particular Importance of that
struggle Paiefeid Courier NewS

Eiaht for Better Salaries

The school teachers of the State de-
sire more money for their work, and
will make a fight for increased salar-
les at the coming session of the Leg
islature. The matter is i'll the hands
of the New Jersey State Teachers
Association, which will hold its an
nual meeting in Trenton next month.
An effort is being made by the officers
of the association to increase the
membership, with view of present
ing an imposing political front before
the Legislature. A circular has been
sent ont announcing the object of the
association as being to further the
general interests OF school teachers.
1t tells of efforts which have been
made and are to be made for the Sc
curing of legislation for the increase
of salaries.
The total membership of the associ-
alton is $500, an increase of 900 over
1903. There are o, 900 teachers in New

The Christmas Dinner.

In spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook, it
will not be fair for many to lay the
blame on the cook if they begin the
Christmas Dinner with little appetite
and end with distress or nausea. 1t
may not be fair for any to do that
let us hope so for the sake of the cook
The disease d spepsia indicates a bad
stomach, that is a weak stomach rath-
err than bad cook, and for a weak
stomach there is nothing else equal to
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t gives the
vigor and tone, cures dyspepsia, ere
ates appetite and makes eating the
pleasure it should be.

Coming Robin Bills.

Announcements having what APP
pears to be the warrant of authority,
come from several sections of the
State to the effect that ut least two
birds bills will be introduced i'll the
next Legislature, says the Newark
Evening News. One of these will be
an act repeating the law adopted and
approved last spring, forbidding the
test of skill or for amusement; the
other will be bill permitting tbs
slaughter of robins, because the latter
are accused of stealing cherries and
strawberries In the early summer,
with which to feed themselves and
their young.
Let these bills come. There never
was a better time for their coming
Last year the people were only par
TALLY prepared for them; they had not
been keyed up to full appreciation
of the value of birds nor had they
been informed of the schemes and
methods of the men who were the
birds enemies. True, the pigeon
bill had been before previous Legisla-
lures and had been manned and wor-
ried and smothered like poor pigeon
that had first been mangled with shot
and then retrieved in the mouth of a
dog but even yet the people did not
seem to fully realize TINT their wishes
were ignored and their sentiments de
fed
The bill to permit the slaughter of
robins aroused them Word went
from one end of the State to the other
that the beautiful songster, the Amer
lean home bird III city and country,
the destroyer of myriads of insects,
the protector of trees and shrubs and
flowers, the tamest of all the wild
birds, were to he killed by the thous-
ands and the little nestlings left to
statve to death. Then, but not till
then were the sensible, sent.mental,
substantial people of the State thor
oughly awakened. knowledge of
birds, bird habits, and bird useful
ness was spread broadcast through
out the State. College professors,
noted ornitholosists. government
officials, profound and reliable OBJ
servers, everywhere contributed their
quotas of information and New Jer-
sey spoke in no uncertain tones for
robin redbr east and against his tax
ing off,
The Horticultural Society is, il il
reported, to discuss the robin at it's
annual meeting in January. OF
course there will be few vociferous
calls foI the slaughter of the bird, be-
cause some cherry and strawberry
growers lose some fruit. The whole
cherry crop in New Jersey is not
worth the actual value of the birds
work in destroying insects aud weeds
seeds, and this fact may he brought
ont at the society's meeting by intel
igent members. But whatever the
attitude of specialists or of certain
Legislators, let the bills come mp if
their advocates insist upon it. They
will receive the overwhelming defeat
and quietns from which they will
not revive for many years.
