the water is filthy and should be con.

Several cases of typhoid have arisen
lately and in each case the patient

The Jones furnace people have taken
hold OF the Bird mine and will explore
the property in hopes OF showing up
ore such as they can use in their fur
mace at Iron Mountain. The deal has
been on for some time between J. T.
Gibson of Amasa, who holds the op-
tion. and the Jones peonle and was
only consummated Tuesday.
A man has been placed in charge and
has started work fixing up buildings
for the men 10 live in. Lumber has
been sent 10 the grounds and the old
buildings will be repaired and made
habitable
The exact program has not been
given out yet but it is thought that
the property will be unwatered and
work done at a greater depth.
HARVESTER PROPERTIES
Supt Darlington finished mp his test
pit work for the International Harves-
ter people and left town last week.
He was uniformed when he left here
as TO just what would be done with
the two properties OF the concern.
At the Victoria pretty good bunch
OF ore was discovered and it is thought
that that property will be combined
with the Hill Top OF the Oliver Iron
Mining company and the two proper
ties worked by the Oliver people.
Lot 3 has different proposition.
Mr.. Darlington thought that his people
may decide to pump out the old shaft
and see what is in the lower workings
before deciding definitely as to what
win be done with the property.

William H.

He certainly has his ideal now and it IS a place where he is not ashamed to en- certain ladies and gentlemen. It is a new building, or rather an old one made over into new one, and is next to the Danbury Troy Laundry Co.,. and is owned by them. The building is good sized one, lighted by electricity and has good deep yard. in which it will be possible to keep quite a stock. MT Moore plans to have stone cutter to letter all monuments that he sells and have power with which to run it. Hughes 6 Chapman and Mir Moore may well feel proud of the change for it is the best monument place in Connecti- cut, right where people are.passing by. and Mir Moore plans to keep it so. He has quite a stock of monuments on hand now.
