CHESTER, Nov. 3, 19o5.-aIiners
are hard at work in Morris County.
There is big boom in the northern pare
in iron mining. Owing to the scarcity
Of iron Of late, or more probable the enor-
nous amount Of iron being now con-
sumed in the building Of railroads, steam
ships automobiles, furnaces, bridges and
hundreds Of other things has made tns
demand much greater than the output.
As a consequence many old mines that
had ben lying idle for many years are
being placed in operation
The Dickerson mines at Ferro Monte
have been leased by the Singer Sewing
Machine Company, and large force Of
men have been set at work cleaning them
out and getting them into readiness for
active operations. At present SONG ore
is being taken from two of the mines,
and another one win be in active opera-
ton in a comparatively short time These
mines were first opened about 1712, and
were formerly called the suecasunna
mines. Up to 1779. Joseph Kirkbriae
owned them. and in that year he sold
the to Minar1 LIE Fevre and Jonathan
Dickerson. They were in active opera
ton until about ten years ago, when they
were closed and remained 50 until the
present time.
The Hoff mines, located near Mt.
Pleasant, had ben closed for many years.
They were opened BY Charles Hoff in
1770. A shsort time ago. Dr.. Peter S.

leased them, purchased pumps. engines

Mr.. Henry scharged that the present
administration favored corporations in
the matter of assessments and while pro-
Tossing friendship for the individual
property owner was really jacking UP the
assessments in order to curry favor with
the corporations. He gave facts and fig
ures in support of his charge. With the
records in the Tax Department as his
guide he showed that hundreds of pieces
of property in different sections of the
city had been assessed at 20 per cent. pf
their true value, while favored corpora
tions were only assessed at the rate pf
/ from 20 to 80 per cent. of their tr,ae
Svalue. Hoping to keep up this campaign
of deceit, the Faganites rushed a denial
of Mr.. Henry's charge into its IIobok,sn
organ. The people will prefer to believe
Mr.. Henry and the records as shown by
the tax books.

Archibald NJ Henry is not man to
be trifed with. Mayor Fagon and bis
political adviser, George Z. Record, have
found it out to their sorrow. Mr.. Henry
is not an orator, neither is he taking les
sons in elocution in the hope Of becoming
one. He is plain, everyday business
man, who does not believe in fooling the
people. He is not versed in political
trickery. When he has anything to shy
he says it and the people of Jersey City
who know him as an honest and truthful
man to not look for further evidence in
the truth of his statements.

A Safe and Sane Fourth.
[st. Adams Messenger

The village of Brattleboro evidently
intends to have a safe and sane" Fourth
of July, the bailiffs having passed an
ordinance providing that no person shall
set of shoot, or explode rockets, fire.
crackers. or other fireworks within the
limits OF the village under a prescribed
penalty. 1t Is doubtful whether such a
strictly severe ordinance is necessary in
rural Vermont communities. but 1t might
do very well, indeed. II all of them de-
creed that no fireworks should be set
of except on the day Of the Fourth itself
For almost a whole week before the
glorious holiday st. Adams undergoes the
nuisance of a continuous premature
Fourth of July celebration. 1t Is not safe
for horses to travel the streets and not
much safer for pedestrians on the side
walks because of the reckless folly of
unrestrained youths and rowdies with the
latter day giant crackers and other
dangerous explosives. The same COM
plant is made more or less in other YER
mont cities and towns.
The city council would do a public SER
vice by positively restricting the fire.

$4,000, 900 Of Treasury Notes.
TBoston Herald

The writing of the American bankers
signature on the certificates for the new
japanese loan some $4,000 times, In ac-
cordance with the legal requirement OF
the autograph of the firm on each certih-
cate, has made OF the signers almost
nervous wrecks. they say. But this Is
not a circumstance to what has been done
by some government officials in the past.
The most famous exploit was that OF l.. y.
Chittenden, then register Of the United
States treasury. during the civil war, IN
signing, almost without cessation, the
certificates in denominations Of $1,000 or
less for the issue of 10000, 900 of the
United States $50 bonds in order to ship
them In the next steamer for England. The
feat was accomplished, but to the pro-
bable lifelong injury Of Mr.. Chittenden.
Expert opinion is that a thousand sigma
lures a day is the safety limit when many
thousand have to be made ready. 1t has
been urged that reputable officials ought
TO be able to save themselves much wear
and tear by being allowed to have sigma
lures printed as a corporate part OF the
certificate, as is done in treasury notes.
But human nature is such that little
sympathy goes out to bankers and cor
poTation presidents when they are oc-
casionally' put to hard labor by the law
requirements. in view Of the popular esu-
mate Of the big pay they get for ordinari-
ly small work, in the profits OF their
deals.

than legumes. Then when the legume
Is again planted the soil betterment Is
taken up again.
It has been demonstrated by the agri-
cultural department that the cost OF ma
terial for a culture capable Of inoculatlng
an acre is but four cents. This does no.
Include the cost Of labor in producing the
culture. Commercial concerns are charg
ing from $3.50 to 50 an acre for the cuI-
lures. with free competition, however
the cost should regulate itself. The eul
ture is so insignificant in weight that
transportation charges will not be a iac-
tor.
while soil.inoculating bacteria cultures
are not a panacea for all the ills OF the
farmer cursed with poor soil, its use may
in many instances make the difference De-
tween success and failure.

OF the Bank Of North America Of New

Mr.. Burrage is a comparatively young
man, who 16 years ago entered the en-

at a salary OF IS per week Yet We are
told by the pessimistic lounger that the
young man has no chance in the world
now. OF course Mr.. Burrages case Is eX-

a young man with the right stun In him
had a better chance than today. With

at the start in life there is no question
about acquiring satisfactory success In
this busy and growing country.

Telephones In General Use Among Iowa
Farmers.

Iowa leads the nation in rural tele-
phones. 1t has SO per cent. OF all the
rural telephone lines in the country and
rs per cent. of the mileage Of wire used
by rural phones There are more miles
OF rural telephone lines in Iowa than there
are of railway lines in the country. There
is a telephone instrument for every ten
persons in the state. or one for every two
families. These and other interesting
facts have recently been gathered by the
census officials. There are p, SIT separate
rural lines in operation using 259, 306
miles OF wire and 1865 instruments.
There are whole counties in which one
may talk from the county seat to practi-
cally the entire farming population. Iowa
farm telephones are very cheap, and the
telephone habit is becoming stronger.

Body Of John Paul Jones, Americas
Naval Hero, Found In Paris.

The remarkable search which Ambasa-
dor Horace Porter has conducted for the
body OF John Paul Jones. the naval hero
of the American Revolution. was crown
ed with success by the discovery Of the
body and its Identification in Paris Sat-
urday by the highest French medical ex-
perts as unquestionably that OF the
famous American admiral who founded
the American navy.
The circumstances leading to the final
discovery of the body are particularly
interesting. Gen. Porter has conducted the
search for the last five years and when
Congress recently took no action upon
the Presidents recommendation for the
expenses incident to the search the am
bassador continued the extensive labors
at his own expense. A large force Of
workmen has been engaged night and
day tunneling and cross tunneling the old
St Louis cemetery. Hundreds OF wooden
caskets were found but not until We'd
nesday were unearthed four leaden
caskets which gave promise OF containing
the body of the admiral. Three of them
bore plates designating the names Of the
deceased. The fourth showed superior
solidity of workmanship No plate was
found on this casket and 1t Is supposed
it was removed when another coffin was
per-imposed on it, The leaden coffin

Tendency Toward Municipal Ownership
in Germany.

The tendency toward municipal control
is particularly marked in the case of the
German towns, where national political
parties do not interfere with local affairs
Cologne, with a population of 375, 900,
owns the gas works, the street railway
system, the electricity works. the harbor
and wharves, slaughter houses and cattle
yards, etc, and owns nearly one-half the
stock of the railroad to Bonn. In the
Grand Duchy OF Hesse the town councils
are required to buy lands and build houses
for the people to purchase on the install
ment plan. These councils can be made
to borrow money from the bank and turn
1t over TO any building society that Is
willing TO do the work. 1t is fortunate for
these experiments that the German NUM-
cipalities are strictly business concerns.
