We take the following from the Bel
lows Falls Times. The article slso
stated that $500 was voted and raised
by the board of trade in a few min
utes, to be given the company should
they be located there by April 1st:
The new industry committee of the
Board OF Trade during the past month
has been wing hard to induce the
Barton FurniGure company to locate
in Bellows Falls. This company is
going to leave Barton anyway and a
new location in Vermont will be
chosen. While the company has suf-
fered by internal dissension it seems
to be backed by experienced men of
good business ability, and gives prom
Use of a successful future. Its loca-
ton in Bellows Falls If brought about
ought TO prove a good thing. 1t is
understood that the Barton company
employed IS men in 1904 and have
employed as high as So. If it comes
10 Deuows Falls It would start in with
10 or 20 and hope to increase to 40
within Year. The past year has
been stormy one for the company
owing 10 strife ong the stock-hold-
ers. Last spring the minority faction,
1t is UNDERSTOOD, petitioned the com
pany into bankruptcy, but a settle
ment was made with creditors and all
complications are now Fl. The com
pany, however, must move from it's
present quarters in Barton March /.
The element now in control of the
company, the Percival element. are
the practical manufacturers and have
succeeoto III giving the company a
good lame among trade. Ii is said
that the principal lines manufactured
are lounges, sofas, bed-loungee. and
fraternity furniture, etc.
Various reasons are attributed to
the failure Of the Percival Furniture
Co. Some to the management and
others to certain other reasons.
Whatever the cause and however dis
interested the people of Barton may
seem to the loss of this industry, the
town has been benefited by it. No

That banking in on the increase is
shown to be fact from local condi-
tions. During the past year new
bank has been established in, this
county, the Central Savings Bank and
Trust Co. at Barton Landing. This
institution has been doing larger
business than was anticipated when
opened and is in very prosperous
condition, while the Barton National
bank shows the past year to be the
largest in its history in spite of the
loss of patronage naturally going to
the new bank at Barton Landing.
The Barton Savings bank also reports
a prosperous year as do all other
banking institutions in this vicinity.

SaratoQa's Rich Strike.

A great strike has been made in the
face OF the lateral being run on the Sara
toga vein in the Newhouse tunnel, says
Manager Owen. The streak has been
exposed along the hanging wall for some
distance, being from sixteen to twenty
inches wide, and assays made the first OF
the week showed values Of 1856 ounces
gold and 1850 ounces silver to the ton,
the gross value being sl72.29 per ton.
There is scarcely any doubt but that
the main Saratoga ore shoot has been
tapped in the tunnel, and at a depth Of
nearly 1900 feet. In the eighth. ninth
and tenth levels Of the Saratoga the vein
was from eight to twenty feet wide, all
pay ore. The ore shoot was over 600
feet long and turned out several millions
OF dollars. A short time ago the miners
came to lap 10 the vein, but on driving
ahead few feet the vein came in again
bigger and better than ever and is hold
ing out we'll as drifting is continued.
The lateral is in 1900 feet from the tun
mel and 10 supposed to be directly under
a point between the No. and deep shaft
on the Saratoga vein.

Record Progress on NeWhouse.

The Newhouse tunnel was driven 275
feet during the month of July. A lay
off OF three days was taken for the
Fourth Of July and several short shifts
were put in on account of handling the
rock from the breast of the Cross cut,
says the Idaho Springs Gazette. A total
of % days was put in and of this prob
ably but 25 days were full shifts. This
means that the tunnel was driven
through the solid walls of granite at the
rate Of ten feet per day. At the present
rate the great lodes of Quartz hill will
be encountered during this year as the
big tunnel is now under Leavenworth
gulch.
A great network of veins is now being
passed through and during July three
distinct veins were cross cut. One OF
these is showing good values and Of
width that will make possible the work.
ing almost Immediately. AS result Of
this strike the tunnel commenced work
this morning on drilling the heading to
a greater width for the purpose Of put
ting in eide tracks, making it convenient
for the commencement of drifts on the
new strikes. The entire month will be
devoted to carrying the tunnel for these
tracks and yet it is expected that the
footage in the big bore will not be less
ened for August.
The first contract of 1000 feet had been
completed by Mr.. Knowles and the start
for 5000 feet more had been commenced.
This will take the tunnel to Central City
and open up all Of the great producers
in golden Gilpin. The Newhouse man
agement will make some OF the most Ia

operators in the hopes that hundreds of
idle mines in Gilpin county will resume

Opening Attraction al Opera House.

Looking For Wife," which Manager
McFarlane announces as the first show
Of the season at the opera house, is one
Of those musical farce comedies that ap-
pei to all lovers of good, clean, bright
comedy. Good singing and dancing,
beautiful costumes, pretty girls. and
above all, real comedians. Manager
George Samuels, whose attraction this
is, has been most fortunate in securing
the services OF Messrs. Wheeler and Rus
sell, whose reputation as real, live fun
makers has been known for many years.
The costumes we're designed by Leroy
Dazian, famous for his connection with
the Casino theater productions in New
York, and the musical numbers are both
beautiful and catchy. The company
carries every bit of scenic and electrical
equipment that is used in the play.
Among the songs introduced the new
est and best are .Strolling." "The Good
Old U. S. A." "Float Me-" Sailing
Home From Coney," my Little Coun-
try Maid," 1--WE All Went Into the
Shop" "Fishing" and the Power of
Gold"
The story of the play tells of the
brother OF New York alderman, pro-
duct OF Erin's soil, who has made rich
strike in the Klondike gold fields and
who returns to the east with more mon
ey than he knows how to spend. He
wants wife, the only recommendations
being her ability to cook and spend
money. He advertises in the daily pap.
ers for her and around the many funny
complications which arise from this ad-
vertisement whirls the plot Of the piece.
The play runs 140 minutes and is said
to contain as many laughs, or laugh a
minute.
Thursday and Friday, August 10th
and 18th are the dates announced for
this merry aggregation and il reports
from other cities are to be relied upon,
it is well worth seeing.
