MAZUMA, Jan. S.-One of the
greatest strikes yet made in the dis
trict was that of Monday, January 4,
when they broke into the ore on the
25O-foot level on the Sandifer lease OF
the Seven Troughs Therien Mining
company. The lease which has been
financed by English capital is just
across the gulch from the famous
Bazuma Hills mine, and they have
had more trouble there with water
than on any other property in the
district. They have had two pumps
at work in conjunction with a bail
ing bucket and Sandifer, sure that
the ore was there has stuck to his
work like a brick, and tonight every
body is elated at his success. The
ore that is being brought to the sur
face will average not less than SIZE
a ton, and some of it goes up into
the thousands of dollars.
The Sandifer lease is in very goot
company, for on one side of it is th'
Reagan lease on the Mazuma Hills
and behind it are the Wihuia leas'
and the Seven Troughs Merger. TIL
former of these two made a mos
remarkable strike less than a weel
ago, having caught the rich Kinder
garten vein at a depth of 325 fee
and the merger has the promise @
being one of the best properties i
the district. AT a depth of sevent
feet they ran a crosscut out fo
twenty feet and cut the vein, expos
ing eight inches of ore that got

that little obstacles like the consti-
tution Of the organization would not
stand in the way of determined
men," Great! The constitution was
laid on the shelf and by the unani-
NOUS vote of the twelve members
present Gone of them was a tax
payer) they elected Schmidt to the
Office of chief of the volunteer de-
partment. But this didn't hinder the
twelve determined men tincluding
the taxpayer) from carrying out
their desires. The constitution also
states that the body Is governed by
Roberts Rules of Order, and that
little book states that any rule can
be amended at any regular meeting
by a two-thirds vote, provided the
amendment was submitted in writing
at the previous regular meeting.
But what does the constitution
amount to when twelve determined
men with vengeance in their hearts,
have those aforesaid little hearts set
on one desire? Great is determine
ton. Who wouldn't be determined?
The Moon also states that w. j.
Sinclair, after witnessing the demon
stration of the volunteers and seeing
their determination, stated that he
would resign. When seen last even
ing Mr.. Sinclair stated to a Bonanza
representative that the statement
was a false one. He was present at
the meeting and the only statement
that he made was when J. r..
Schmidt, after being elected chief Of
, the volunteers by the determined
q twelve, thanked the twelve and in a
3 speech assured Mr.. Sinclair Of the
a hearty cooperation of the volun-
n teers. For this Mr.. Sinclair thanked
Q him. From this little speech some
s body has construed a resignation.
S Probably that is more of the deter
e mination.'
n There are about 800 names en-
IS rolled on the membership list of the
volunteers and it is understood that
a petition to the effect that the vol
= unteers do not condemn the county
commissioners for their appointing
Sinclair fire chief will be circulated

members over 275 will sign it. Thai

pdCtOIuS District
Making Good

DR.. w. l.. Berry, who returned
Tuesday from the Pactolus district,
stated yesterday that the leasers on
the Pactolus group of claims were
preparing to make a shipment of
high grade to the smelters. DR..
Berry brought back samples of ore
taken from this group and all OF
them are literally covered with the
precious metal. These samples were
selected by the doctor and will run
from $500 to 5000 a ton, the values
being chiefly in gold with a small
percentage of horn silver. On this
group four leasers are working. A
shaft is down 200 feet and in it a
drift has been run for a distance OF
100 feet. 1t has cut numerous string
ers and all of them carry high val
ues. On the ninety-foot level a vein
is being worked that runs from two
to seven feet in width. The last as
say from this ore body went 1912 to
the ton. This ledge is also visible OF
the surface and rich paintings Were
taken from it.
During his stay in hat district DR.
Berry had the annual assessment
work done on several claims he own
which adjoins the Pactolus groul
and from the trend OF the surfac,
veins it is very evident that they rui
directly through his property.

$175 a ton and two feet more that
will go better than $50 a ton.
They have a double compartment
shaft down on the Merger for 14O
feet and at the 135-foot level they
are prosecuting to catch two parallel
veins which should be intersected at
this point. The basalt dyke through
which they are going is heavily inn
pregnated with sulphides and shot
through the formation are stringers
of quartz which carry good values OF
gold and silver. The veins coursing
the Merger are those of the Mazuma
Hills and the Reagan lease, and 1t Is
more than likely that there will be
junction formed on the ground with
the Kindergarten vein. High grade
ore has been found in the Mazums
Hills or kindergarten. Prepare
lions are now being made for a mil
run. Ore bins are being constructed
and a track Is being built from TN

Little Tempest

1t was somewhat surprising yes
terday that several more of the mem
bers of the volunteer fire department
did not tender their designations as
they had previously stated they
would if ]. r. Schmidt was not APP
pointed fire chief by the county COM
missioners. One of the members-in
fact it was w. l.. Moore, the vice
president of the volunteers-stated
| sometime ago that the volunteers
would walk out in a body if their
choice failed to get the appointment.
II is not known where he secured his
authority to make that statement
and the minutes of the organization
do not show where the body had
appointed him spokesman, but it is
presumed that he was so filled will
his self-importance that he conceived
the idea that he was the one and onl!
one in the volunteers, and where h
led the others would follow. AnC
now it seems that he is afraid to car
ry out his threats.

posed the toast, "Vermont" and called
upon c. X. Gleed. of Topeka, Kans., as a
native of Vermont who had dwelt in
other states to respond. Mr.. Gleed urged
Nermontsrs to preserve the natural
beauties of their state. tie said their
conservatism was a valuable asset absc-

of the West, that Vermonters were noted
for their constructive ability and cited

Why We Sleep in Church.

Those who are inclined to be sleepy
in church during the sermon, even when
they would like to keep awake and lis
ten to the discourse will find some con-
ISOLATION, as will also the preacher, in the
theory of French psychologist who
says that persons are inclined to
doze in church because of the devout
attention they pay to the services. In
endeavoring to fix every word in their
minds, they put themselves into sort
of trance 1t is about the same as
what is called self-hypnotism, and the
more closely one follows the minister
the more likely he is to find him
self unable to remain awake. The
eminent French gentleman may be right
but we are still of the opinion that
church maps are due more to lack of at
tention to the sermon than to close
application.

VALUE OF SUMMER SCHOOLS.

Middlebury college has just closed its
first session of summer school and 50
encouraging have been the results that
the summer session will probably be an
established feature.
Summer school offers unlimited OPP
portunties to the college student, but
by far the greatest benefit is derived
by the mass of people who are unable
to attend the regular college session.
With the student body away, an
inning is given to teachers and others
who are always seeking intellectual
growth and who ever strive to broaden
themselves and bring happiness into
the lives of their brothers by the CON
slant study of couture courses - To
these people is the real opportunity of
fered. To them the chance is given to
pursue splendid courses of study and
lectures of real merit at moderate cost
in the truly college atmosphere - Swan

Better Bring Your Gun.

The Swanton Courier is responsible
for this interesting bit of news: 'Ac-
cording to some reports the deer in
Vermont are getting to be not only a
nuisance but are becoming dangerous.
They are said to be killing off cattle,
not in great numbers, perhaps, but
actual killing is claimed. The days of
the deer in Vermont must be numbered
now that they are charged with killing
off livestock The next thing we will
hear is that deer are numbering men.
Surely we live in wild and woody
country, where the jungles abound in
ferocious wild beasts, technically known
as Cervus Virginianus, ready to spring
upon and devour the unwary traveller,
and even the villages will probably not
be exempt from their depredations.
Better write your friends that when
they come to Vermont to bring a gun
along for self protection.

The Dog and Sheep Question.

The dog comes in for a good deal Of
knocking from some of the state news
papers, which claim that the ca
mines have put the sheep-raising indus
try out of business, and loud are the
calls for legislation which will stop the
alleged slaughter of the woody animals
by dogs of all kinds. The following
from the Brattleboro Reformer is
about the most sensible thing on the
dog question which has come to our
notice:
The trouble with most dog legislation
is that it doesn't discriminate between
the mongrel cur that roams the streets
and the thoroughbred canine that is
almost always under restraint. The
former is nearly always the ore to be-
come involved in sheep-killing esca-
pades, because he is not of sufficient
value to be given any care and gradu-
ally acquires the habit Of roaming,
finally ending his career in some CORY
pasture. A dog Of real value isn't al
lowed to roam at will; in fact h. is
generally watched SO closely that it is
almost impossible for him to get into
mischief. In making laws We should
bear in mind the difference. protecting
sheep raisers against the depredations
of ours without discouraging the raising
of thoroughbred pups.

Burlington seems to be hard city tc
police, not to keep in order but to Sc
cure force that is not continually in
trouble of some kind. The latest in
cident is the pounding of hackman by
a policeman and the inficting of such
punishment that action cannot be taken
by the authorities until after the extent
of the mans injuries, which are serious,
are asertained. During the tercenten-
airy celebration one of the policemen at
Burlington cut open mans head with
billy just because the visitor to the
city, who had been drinking more than
was good for him, did not move quite
soon enough to suit the temporary wear
er of a big badge. Whoever is respon-
sible for the selection of the police force
in Burlington is either not much of a
judge of human nature or is guided by
motives other than the.good Of the city.
