Quartz Veins in Maine and YER
mont

In northern New England some
interest has recently been shown in
the exploration of quartz veins contain
ing precious metals. During the field
season of 1908 DR.. George Otis Smith,
member of the United States Geologi-
cal Survey, visited two localities where
search for the yellow metal was being
prosecuted. Under the heading "Quartz
Veins in Maine and Vermont" he has
recorded the results of his reconnais-
sance observation lin an article in the
Surveys recent bulletin (No 225) entitled
Contributions to Economic Geology,
1908"
DIR. Smiths observations in Vermont
are like those which he made in Maine.
Within the last fifty years more money
seems to have been spent on mining
operations in the towns of Plymouth
and Bridgewater than has been realized
from these efforts. Since 1859 work has
been done, at various times, on the
Taggart vein near Bridgewater. Ore
has been taken out here that was re-
ported to yield $32 in gold to the ton.
Assays made in Survey laboratory indi-
cate value of over S6 but the sample
assayed represents the richer part of
small ore body. All the value is in
silver, copper, and lead. The absence of
gold is suggestive, in view of the high
gold values claimed for this vein.
The only gold known to have been
mined at anything like a profit in
southern Vermont is that found in the
gravel deposits of Plymouth, and the
extent to which that mining was prof
liable is doubtful. The essential fea-
ture in the question of the occurrence
of gold in Vermont is the economic
value of the deposits. That is at least
sufficiently well understood to make
extravagant speculation entirely un-
wise.

Stole Without Knowing.
(From the Rutland Herald.)

"While acknowledging that when ar
rested he had in his possession the
stolen articles, William Leno, whose
home is in Ticonderoga. N. Y, claimed
in City court Monday morning that he
did not know a thing about how he came
by the goods. Leno is said to be the man
who stole several pounds of butter from
the back of the wagon of Frank Plumley
of Shelburne. Saturday and who was
arrested only after hot chase by Police
man T. c. Elworth.
when arranged Monday on the
charge of petit larceny, Leno told City
Judge Willis NJ. Ross that he had wife
and family in Ticonderoga and that he
was born in East Middlebury 4S years
ago "the 18th day of last month";" He
has been in this section about six weeks,
having been following the fairs, and
returned only Friday night from the
South Wallingford fair, where he chased
baseballs for the fakir with thei dolls.
Leno when told by the prosecuting officer
that the atmosphere of Ticonderoga or
East Middlebury would. be more con-
ducive to his health than that of Rut-
land said, ''Yessir. You can bet if
ever get out of this I'll quit this town.
I'll vanish just as soon as | get out of
jail"
when asked how he would plead to
the charge of stealing the butter, Leno
said, Il had it. That's right. But l
don't know how | got it," He was
found to have been drunk ON the day
in question and the court in view of
this fact and it being the first offense
made the fine $40 and costs, amounting
in all to SIT "a The alternative SEN
tence is about 55 days in the house of
correction.
The stolen butter was produced in
court and returned to the owner, Leno
insisting repeatedly that he didn't want
it and had no use for it. He said "By
all means give it back and if there's any
thing coming take it out of the fine"

GRADED SCHOOL NOTES.

The first High School football game
of the season was played on the college
campus last Saturday afternoon between
the High school and the Proctor town
team, and resulted in a victory for Mid
dlebury with the score of 16 to 1.
The game commenced at o'clock,
Proctor kicking off to Middebury. Shep-
ard caught the ball on the % yard line,
and advanced it a few yards before he
was downed. Then the Middlebury boys
began to advance the ball, down the
field, slowly at first, but they soon picked
up, and made some good gains. AT about
Proctor's 25yard line William Foote,
who was playing right half back,
twisted his knee when tackled and was
unable to finish the game. Smith took
his place and the game proceeded. Allis,
|. g. made an excellent play, and Beane
carried the ball over the line for touch
down. Time 8 minutes. AS the ball
had been taken over in the very corner of
the field, jackson kicked it out for a safe

was called.
At the beginning of the second half
Middlebury kicked off to Proctor de-
Tending the north goal, Proctor advanced
the ball few yards, then Proctor began
making steady gains but lost the ball on
tumble, and Middlebury quickly
crossed the goal line, Beane carrying the
ball but failed to kick the goal.
Then Middlebury kicked off to Proctor
defending the south goal, held Proctor
for downs, and Beane carried the ball
over for third touchdown, but again
failed in kicking the goal
NIiddlebury then kicked off to Proctor
defending the north goal, and again
held them for downs, but Proctor secured
