%six-foot lead of native copper
has been uncovered in the west
end of the district. The dis
covery was made by an inexpe-
rienced man whom the owner

work would be as easy as posi-

and at the depth of six feet
uncovered a blind lead, richer
in native copper than anything
as yet found in the district.
A number of prospectors are

TOWN OF SALISBURY
Making Ba skets.

A new industry, on small scale, has been developed in White Hollow, near Lime Rock Gibson Gillette has a new hired man, named George Weeks, who comes from Poughkeepsie, N. Y., and who possesses considerable skill as bas ket maker He is making supply ot baskets for use in and about the Gillette homestead and when this task is com, pleted may accommodate an occasional neighbor with basket or so. They are made of black ash and the process is an interesting one. First is secured piece of the wood six or eight feet long, per fectly straight and free from knots. This is pounded with the back of an axe, which separates the thin layers of wood which are peeled off in the proper thick ness for making the baskets. One pound ing removes two or three layers of the wood and the process is continued until the stick is practically used up. When the weaving is completed, a strong and substantial basket is the result, much more firm than any of the machine-made baskets now on sale.

Contract Must Be Written.

A point in the validity Of contract
ing stock for future delivery came up
at Cameron, that is Of interest to
stockmen in Missouri. A big cattle
buyer says he has been in the cattle
business "a years, and though he al
ways contracted verbally for cattle
bought, he has never ~repudiated a
purchase, or had one re%pudiated by
the sellers until recently. At that
time a wealthy stock raiser gave him
an option on some cattle, but has
since refused to let them go because
the contract Of sale was not in writ
ing. A lawsuit for damage Of $500
grew out of the matter, and the de-
PENDANT escaped liability under the
statute. The Missouri statute In ques-
ton follows; Section 3419-No
contract for the sale of goods, wares
or merchandise for the price of $50
or upward shall be allowed to be good
unless the buyer shall accept part OF
the goods so sold, and actually re.
ceive the same, or give something in
earnest to bind the bargain, and sign
ed by the parties to be charged with
such contracts, or their agents lawful
ly authorized"
