dated from that time. The mill under his management fiourisbed and he began to save money. Eventually he married Miss Julia Cook. He had three children of which William was the eldest. The other two were Wallace and Nellie of whom the latter is dead. In conjunction with his mill business, Warren Garfield,
 Sr., produced and disposed of lime in the antIqated manner-by burning a kiln out, tearing it down, putting the product in hewn barrels and carting it by OK team to the Hartford market.
 After his death the sons William and Wallace conducted the mill and raised tobacco until about eighteen years ago, when Wallace sold out his New Marl- bOro interests to William and the brothers engaged i'll the lime business ill East Canaan. These kilns were success fully operated until the year 1902, when the brothers sold them to the New Eng land Lime Company, remaining i'll the company as stockholders and officers. Ill 1903.

lime plant in East Canaan, known as the Canfield Lime Company, "Independ- ent of the trusts'' This plant he con- ducted until 1909, when, owing to i'll health he relinquished control selling to The Hotchkiss Brothers company of Torrington.
 In 1909, William Garfield bought the old "Warner House" ill Canaan, de- molished it and erected the Canficld building, which is finished into model stores, offices and living apartments.
 In 1905 he erected the large automobile garage and repai; shop, ill the rear of the Garfield building. In August, 1906, MT. Garfield purchased, from E. w. Warner, the Warner House property bordering on the railroad. Two days after the transfer of the property, work men were engaged in overhauling the structure, preparatory to it's complete reconstruction. The building was raised several feet and all extra story was added. E. R. Lorraine, was the con- tractor and the result of his plans, as prepared in accordance with MT. Can fields suggestions, is the splendid modern hostelry which we know as the Garfield Inn.
 ! William Garfield was married twice l By his first wife, Lydia Stanton, there were two sons, William H. and Roy Warren. The latter died when nineteen years of age. To this son and his mother and to his own father and mother, MT, ! Garfield erected a costly and beautiful monument on the family burial plot in Canaan Valley, This memorial is a large one and is of granite The mouu- ment is surmonUed by figure Memory carved abroad ill Italian marble William H the eldest son, conducts the Garfield garage here. In 1885, William Garfield married Miss Annie Markham, of New l Marlboro, and there were two children, Floyd William, now aged 20 and Miss Pearl Josephine, aged IS.
 MT. Canfield's health began to fail in the fall of 1907. Since 1908 he has led a rather retired life, but his indomitable ambition made itself felt to the very end His last illness began October 7th, when 1 he was stricken while i'll Canaan with 1 what seemed to be a stroke of paralysis. He was taken to the apartments of his son William ill the Garfield building and attended by Doctor Camp. MT l Canfeld's condition mended after thc first couple of days and he rallied con- siderably. But he again grew worse and the end came peacefully at about 3:3O Monday morning.

The Nature of Sun Spots

In a recent address to the Sooiste franchise de Physique, Prof. George l.. Hale described his investigations of the magnetic fields of sun.spots. He regards the spots as consisting of columns of ionized vapors circulating in opposite directions being in general considerably inclined from a normal to the surface. There appears to be a connection, below the surface of the sun, between tho yortics on the two sides of the equator, The observations are regarded as afford ing strong support to the theory that sun-spots arc the produces of convection currents in the solr glo3e.-Youtha C0mpaniOn.

He was @ practical. matter-of-fact man, but he had his own peculiar way of extracting merriment from life as it went along and he was not disposed to worry about matters that could be bettered ill other ways. This cheerful spirit remained with him to the last and he retained his clearness of intellect up to hIs closing days. He was invariably a good neigh Dor and there was no happier family circle in the land than his. When he died the grief that was felt over the close of his useful career was widespread and sincere. His best monument will be the good report he has left behind him in tho community in which he has lived all his life.
 Although MT. Canfield was member of no church, his life was puro and honorable. There was a daily beauty about his life which won every heart. In temperament he was mild, concil- iatory and candid; and yet remarkable for an uncompromising firmness. He gained confidence when he seemed least to seek it.

Before MT. Canfieli waved the magic wand of his enterprise OCT the town, Canaan's business section was about forty years behind the times, like the c. N. B. railroads great, wooden, barrack s-like, kerosene lamp-Gghted combined freight and passenger station. MT. Garfield few years ago invested a small fortune ill these big improvements.
 William Canield's permanent abode was>the house i'll which August 10. 1849 he was born, i'll the town of New Marl- boro Mass. The house was long ago re- built into a modern structure and equipped with every convenience and luxury, including all electric lighting system from 8 private plant. At his home was his personal office and, during his active business life he also had offices in Canaan, in charge of J. H. Lansing and at the East Canaan kiln.

DISEASES OF VEGETABLE CROPS.

DISEASES UT NEGhIAbLh CAOfSs
 Among the diseases of vegetable crops it is simply necessary to mention aspar- agus rust, which causes from 20 to 90 per cent of injury nearly every year wherever this crop is grown; anthrac- nose, bacterial spot, drowny mildew, and stem-rot of beani, all of which cause serious destruction of this crop; drowny mildew, wilt, and leaf-blight of melons; early and late blight, rot, and wilt of potatoes; and a host of similar diseases of other vegetables, some of which can be prevented by spraying others only by the development of resistant vsrities, which has been accomplished in several cases.

DISEASES OF OTHER CROPS

Particular mention can be made of only few of the hosts of diseases of shade and ornamental trees, forest trees, and crops grown under glass. The new bark disease of the chestnut promises to destroy this valuable nut and timber tree. The white pine is suffering from several serious leaf diseases, which have destroyed many thousands of trees. The various wood and root rots cause great destruction each year to shado and for est trees.
 The various diseases of the rose, the carnation, and the lily cause great loss annually to the growers.

RICH ORE AT THE EMPIRE PROPERTY

John Brady, practical mining man. reached Prescott Saturday and brings news of rich strike on the Empire mine, about nine miles southeast of Kirkland valley. Gold is the metal. The property is an old location and is owned by Ira Moore and Richard Mes senger
 For over seven years these owners have been doing work on what they believe was the true Assure vein of the lode, but they now state that their work was on but a stringer of the main vein. The circumstances lead ing to the recent strike are out of the usual in mine work, and may be attri- buted to the inquisitive desire of Mrs. Moore to see what the float on the big dyke adjacent to the Empire con tained. Accordingly she broke sew eral pieces of rock from the croppings and such showing free gold, her hus- band then commenced doing likewise. Every piece broken resulted in show ing the same mineral makeup and the original claim has been practically abandoned until the dyke has been thoroughly exploited.
 Horn spoon tests only have been made, and from such sources values ranging as high as sl50 to the ton are shown. The dyke which supports this discovery is about 600 feet long by from forty to fifty feet through. and is distant from the main shaft of the Empire about 10e0 feet.
 The empire people believe as re- suit of this discovery that their work in the past has been given on the foot wall of this dyke. and that the mother vein is practically under this dyke. They are now engaged in stripping the ground on the new discovery. and have about two tons of ore sacked for shipment. The formation is an iron quartz and porphyry. and the disccv- cry was made about one week ago. Until this discovery the ground in hat particular zone was open for Io cation. the average miner overlooking it's mineral possibilities.

IN GENERAL

are extremely important. We have now four years of ore in sight at the normal rate of production not taking the United Globe into consideration or our West ore body. The latter ore body is likely to develop into one of our big sources of ore supply. Owing to the heavy flow of water, we have had to be extremely cautious in our west country operations. so that we are not pushing developments there very fast. We are catching up on our water. however, having reduced the flow 1 ,000. 600 gallons per day. At one time we were pumping 5,400,0O0 gal Ions of water daily.
 We plan to sink and develop the 18th level as soon as we open little more ground on the 18th and 18th levels. There have been very impor- tant United Globe developments in connecting the Old Dobinion and United Globe underground workings The ter.itory of the United Globe has been barely scratched.

 Shannon.
 Shannon's proposed issue of bonds. the proceeds of which are to be used to build high line railroad between its mine and reduction works, are very popular. These bonds, which will be the first lien on the company's s new railroad. will be guaranteed by the shannon Copper company, and convertible into shannon stock at s20 per share. They are to be offer. ed to stockholders at par. and stock. holders rights to subscribe for them were 20 cents bid this week. equiva. lent to a price of 11o for the bonds.
 Those who are in a position to know most about the shannon prop erty and it's developed ore deposits and prospects are confident that on a higher metal market it's stock will sell between s25 and s3o per share. This is accountable for the very strong demand for its new converti- ble bond issue. It is expected that stockholders will subscribe for and take up the greater portion of the bonds, leaving few if any for the tin. derwriters.
 The shannon company has contin- ued producing copper throughout the period Of low prices and business de precision, and 1t is understood to have shown an operating profit practically every month. The company has the advantage of an unusually efficient are being worekd out now which will reduce fer each pound of its copper output. When the price of the metal is advancing, shannon is always a good stock to buy and hold.

Old Oominion.


 R. B. Hegardt. general superin. tendent of the Old Dominion Copper, Mining and Smelting company. is quoted as saying:
 Future operations of the old Do. minion mine depend largely upon the price of copper. We are now produc. ing about 750 tons Of ore daily from our nines as against 900 tons when oerating to full capacity. and about so to s5 per cent Of our smelting ops. erations are from our own ores. We are now laying on our miners two Sundays a month. and running four furnaces ou: of six. producing around 5000 900 pounds of copper per month
 While the old Dominion has been producing copper for q great many years. it has. as a matter of fact. just started upon it's producing career after its reconstruction period, and the limit of our possibilities has not been reached either in production or costs. We can easily produce 1000. 900 pounds of copper per month. and should attain a 1G-cent cost before the close of this year. We have al. ready materially reduced costs, not. withstanding restricted production and our present heavy charges to de velopment and construction.

Operations in Amaigamated's Three Biggest Mines Are
 Seriously Hampered
REPORTS OF SERIOUS
 INJURY DENIED BY GILllE

BUTTE, Mont, June 3.--The fire and gas in the Anaconda. Neversweat and St. Lawrence mines, which had its origin in the St. Lawrence in 1889 seems to be spreading. nctwithstand- ing denials of thes management. The Anaconda mine had to be shut down entirely last week. and the gas inter fered with operations in the two ad- joining properties-the Neversweat and the St. Lawrence. Frequently gas breaks out in unexpected places and instantly fills up the underground workings, driving out the miners and makig work impossible.
 For several months miners have been engaged in bulkneading the workings surrounding the fire zone in the Anaconda mine, and when the bulkheads are fiished it is hoped the smoke and fire question will be solvel for some time to come. but mining will have to be abandoned in large portion of the Anaconda mine. The shaft of that mine was abandoned about six months ago, since which time it has been used only as a vent or chimney for the mine, and the min ing in the Anaconda conducted through the Neversweat shaft.
 It is reported that the Anaconda shaft has begun to cave. but General Superintendent John Gillie says there is nothing in the situation to cause uneasiness. and adds: Every once in a while we are confronted with these surges of smoke. which inter fere with operations in some parts of the mines, but there is nothing alarm ing in the situation. Miners are bulkheading, and soon these work ings, from which smoke is now es- caping, will be sealed. We have had this to contend with great many years, and there is nothing unusual about the present situation

STRIKE ON THE

Dr. William Woodburn, manager of
 the New Cumberland Gold and Silver
 Mining company, opc;ating on tie
 Pine Flat in the Turkey creek district is ir Tucson on business mat
 ters in connection with his interests.
 Reports inc irculation of late were to
 the effect that the property was en.
 toying something of noteworthy con ideration, owing to a recent strike in
 deelspment given and with view to having such substantiated the doctor was questioned regarding it. He prae- tically confirms the news, and feels elated over what has been accom- plished in the deeper workings on his mine.
 Since assuming the management of this property few molths ago, the doctor has adhered strictly to the principles of prosecuting work on lines of practical mining, to get into the ground, and has left the ore on the dump and closed up the mill, util- izing only that machinery necessary to prosecute mine work. Depth reached at the present is the great est ever given, and such has disclosed body of ore that undoubtedly dem onstrates the permanency of value in the ground.
 From this point. 2s0 feet deep. drifting north and south is going on.
 and 1t was at this point that twenty foot hot of sulphide ore was cut into that averages s7e to the ton in gold.
 This new body of ore was struck in the south drift, showing that the vein
 is continuous ore frome the surface. While this work of drifting is being prosecuted the main shaft will be driven to greater depth, an air com pressor and machine drills being in service for this purpose. The Cum berlaRd is one of the oldest locations in that district, being originally staked out by Thomas Roach, who in the surface exploitation of the vein received handsome returns from the free-milling ores it produced. The property, until recent management. has been handicapped in it's develop
 ment and although generally rated as
 an attractive proposition, it has not
 until recently assumed an interesting
 regard from the mining element. It is equipped with a ten-stamp mill, has
 an abundance of wood and water to
 supply its needs. and with the pres
 ent showing made has healthy ca reer ahead
 A novel feature of the personnel of
 the company Is that its packers are men almost exclusively identified with the medical profession in Iowa, the
 manager being himself a well known
 practicing physician of Des Moines.
 Doctor Woodburn returned to his
 camp yesterday and while not OCT
 enthusiastic over the excellent show ing made by late work, firmly believes that the property will do to tie to, and the force of fifteen men at present employed vii be maintained and added to as conditions warrant The Cumerland has been in continuous op- eration during the panic era.
