vEEMoNr's COPPER OUTPUT
Production in 1906 Much Less Than in
Preceding Year.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Four states on
the Atlantic seaboard, namely. Yer
mont, Massachusetts, North Carolina
and Georgia, produced In the -aggre.
gate 610,S29 pounds of blister copper
in 1906, the output of each individual
state, except Vermont, being consider
ably in excess of that OF the preced-
ing year.
The great bulk of the total came
from North Carolina whose copper
ores yielded 5S2,209 pounds of blister
in 1906, as against about 10000
pounds in 1905. A large part of this
production was derived from the low
grade siliceous copper ore mined at
Gold Hill, in Rowan county. which
was SHIPPED as converter lining to
shelters in Tennessee and New Jer-
sey.
Vermont ores yielded only 1864
pounds of blister copper in 1906 as
against about $4,000 pounds in 1905.
The mine production of the state was
however, reported as 240,315 pounds.
The great falling off in smelter produc-
tioQ from that of 1905 and the differ
ence between mine and smelter pro.
duction in~1906 Is attributable to the
fact that large part of the cupiferous
material mined in 1906 and shipped to
Atlantic coast works was stored and
not smelted during the year. A large
part of the output was derived from
the old Pike Hill mine, in Orange
county where magnetic concentration
of the heavy pyrrhotite ore was prac-
ticed.

1t is announced that the Anti-Sal-
Don league of Vermont will begin at
once a no license campaign in the
close towns. OF course the Anti-Sal-
Don league is likely to be able to help
along the cause of license in places
where it is best known and therefore
most discredted, but without this
first aid to the injured the license
element would have hard shedding in
Vermont this year and we should not
expect any town in the whole eastern
half of the state to vote Yes" and
not over dozen or fifteen of the wes-
tern towns in which there would be
any probability of license being is

The Waterbury Record thinks II is
a mistake for Vermont banks to raise
the rate OF interest on deposits to
four per cent on the ground that ii
will of necessity compel the banks to
charge at least six per cent interest
on loans and thus make it harder for
the borrower. In result of the recent
shortage of money it was inevitable
that the banks would charge six per
cent on loans, whether they raised the
interest rate on deposits or not. and in
view of this the banks will do no more
than. they should when they return to
their depositors at least four per cent
on their money. 1t has been evident
the past year that the savings banks
and trust companies which could pay
four per cent under the restrictive
provisions of the state law held de-
cided advantage over their less for
tunate brethren. Practically all the
savings banks in Vermont have made
a handsome gain in deposits, but
where the banks have been able to ad-
vertise four per cent compound inter
est to depositors, the deposits have in
creased by leaps and bounds, as for in
stance Governor Pages bank at Hyde
Park which has gained s235,000 or al
most quarter of million in deposits
during the year 1907.

adopted by the bare majority OF one

Republican presidential politics will

Tremendous Popularity ola Vegetable
Prescription " In This Vicinity.

That the readers of this paper APP
preciate advice when given in good
faith is plainly demonstrated by the
fact that one well known local phar-
macy supplied the ingredients for the
vegetable prescription" many times
within the past two weeks. The an
nouncement of this simple harmless
mixture has certainly accomplished
much in reducing the great many cas-
es of kidney complaint and rheuma-
tism here, relieving pain and misery,
especially among the older population
who are always suffering more or less
with bladder and urinary trouble,
backache and particularly rheuma-
tism.

us to continue the announcement of
the prescription. 1t is doing so much

The new marriage license law is

tween issuing marriage licenses and
selling dog tags. There are a few
facts that perhaps have not been
made plain. The marriage license
must be procured of the clerk In which
town the bride to be resides, but both
parties must be present. They will
be obliged to give certain information
to become a matter of record in the

This new New " TX state law Is sini
lar to the Vermont law thathaS been in
force for many years, but there is one
feature of the Vermont law that many
people who go out OF the state to get
married do not know. When citizen

state he or she must obtain marriage
license in this state in order to make
the marriage legal and valid in Yer

of their employers. AT this stage Of
the campaign it looks as though 1t
would take good many agents both

ter is that the voters Of Vermont do
not want any of the three men and
