 The weekly shipment now made are more than double those of some weeks past. It is stated that fine ore is being found in the mine and that it is of sufficient richness to pay we'll even with the comparative ly low prices of copper.

TOURED IN AUTO
 EASTERN ROADS GOOD
Attorney Goodrich Says East is Con
 fdent of Taft's Election.

1 Attorney Roy $. Goodrich who re- turned a few days ago from an east ern trip, stated yesterday in a conver- sation with a Republican reporter, that business conditions were markedly i'm proved throughout the east and middle west, the tone of the financial world was now hopeful buoyant and every where one encounters signs of return ing confidence. Taft looms up large on the political horizon and the east is freely predicting his election by large majority.
 | MT. Goodrich spent part of his vaca- tion trip in touring in an automobile. a Lozier 40-50 horse power. Mir. and Mrs. Goodrich made their headquart- CTS at Springfield, Mass, and from that center made a number of trips, running in all 5000 miles in New Eng land and New York state. From Springfield they ran to Boston and re- turn and afterwards to New York and lNarragansett Pier. In the latter jour ney they made POS miles from a. m. to D. m.
 The roads said MT Goodrich are beautiful in the east along the coast, and. auto touring is a delight. The best roads are made with a sand foundation and four inches of crushed rock, rolled, then covered with tar poured on while hot. This leaves a surface that will not blow away, no dust and superior to asphalt because | it does not become slippery, and bet ter than brick pavement, in that 1t is practically noiseless. The cost is about S2.25 per square yard and it is good | for five years at least. Whether this construction would make the best high ways in this valley. MT. Goodrich was not certain, but it certainly gave sat isfaction as an automobile road. Mir Goodrich attended the com mencement at Harvard and was pres ent at the 10th annual reunion and banquet of his class of '9S, which had record making representation, 25O out of 500 members. Mir. Goodrich was one of the three speakers on this occasion, which was quite a honor. He took "The West" for his subject And he also won the most distant point. These gatherings are notable events and this years fes- | tive scene was no less brilliant than those of the past. There were liar ward men from all over the country, from various parts of the world. Mir Goodrich while there saw the great boat race and baseball games in which Harvard was the victor. He met Judge Kent, who was attending the twenty fifth class reunion, and of ficiating as umpire at a ball game out of which he came safe and sound with flying colors.
 Mrs. Goodrich stopped on the re- turn at Springfield. Ills. where she is visiting her parents till cooler weather.
