Anton Schmitt wishes to en9-
phasize the fact that he will be in
the ice business again next season
and is in readiness to contract with
all his former customers as we'll as
new ones. He has filled his two
lower ponds with good, clean, fresh
water and will use the ice from
these for private customers only
1t is unnecessary to state that IT
will be excellent ice as no stagnants
water will be CONCEALED. Mr.
Schmitt used his customers we'll last
year shipping ice clear from Maaar
son at time of the shortage, and he
believes his efforts ahould be ap
preciated.

ate of women, children, and old
people, who is too brave to lie, too
generous to cheat and who takes
his share of the world and let's other

Bernard Budden, Henry Budden
and Gerhard Wilkie, at depth of
forty feet struck big opening filed
with leaa, just east of the village of
Fairplay. In sinking through it
they took out several thousand
pounds of lead. The opening was,
Just below the water. The mineral
did not run west Of the shaft, but
seemed to lie heavy on the east side
and timbers were put in to allow
them to go deeper. They sunk the
shaft about fifteen feet below this
opening but found no mineral to
speak of. A dispute arose between
the parties, which was settled by
selling out the mine to Vim. Rails
beck for 81, 500 Mr. Raisbeck put
in platform at the bottom of this
opening, took out the timbers on
the east side of the shaft, and
found chunks of lead weighing from
$50 to 1000 pounds lying directly
behind the t1mbers. When the
timbers we're taken away large,
pieces of mineral rolled into the
hole. A company has been formed
and they are now taking out the
ore, which is worth $40 a ton as it
comes out of the ground, and four
men can take out 10000 pounds a
day. 1t looks like one of the old
time Fairplay leads. The probability
is that the company will take out
