Tells Of Good Luck.
Pleasantville, N. j., July Z, 1909.

Pleasantville, N. j., July Z, 1909,
Mr.. J. d. Carpenter,
Dear Sir and Friend: / often think
of Woodbury., and of my old friends
there. | also wonder how many of
them are living and what success they
have made in life-hence | am taking
the liberty of writing to you, to in
form you as to my opinion of the 81
different states that / have visited,
and ! can truly say that southern
California beats them all, and as to
Pasadena, she is called the Crown of
the Valley, or the Garden Spot of the
Earth, and according to my estimation
1t is properly named. And now as
to what success / had while remain
ed there | will briefly state below:
One day while loafng around the
above mentioned town j saw an ad.
in window, Mining Stock for Sale"
so / went inside and made some in
quiries, and found that few people
there were promoting a gold mine
near Kingnan, Arizona, by the name
of The Blue Ridge Gold Mining Co.
So, after thinking the matter over for
a few days, | bought several thous-
and shares at the average rate of sew
en- cents per share, at a par value of
one dollar per share, and in about
four weeks had chance to sell for
seventy cents per share, but did not
sell and the next time / heard from
the stock they we're selling at one cent
per share. So it is needless to say
that / brought my certificate East with
me as a souvenir. But the second of
November last received dividend of
six cents per share on all of my stock,
and on Friday last / received report
from the secretary stating that our
mine was a very valuable one, and
that we have nearly 100000 worth of
machinery and buildings on our prop
erty with all bills paid, also running
sixty men with three thousand feet
of developing work done, and the best
of all they said that about the first of
last month, they struck a ledge of ore
over eight feet in width that assays
$1,000 to the ton.
Pretty good for cent stock, is it
not? And now will consider an offer
for seven dollars per share instead of
seven cents.
Please excuse me for taking so
much of your time but | thought
would inform you as to how | liked
California, and how made out.
3 Respectfully yours.

State Council Wins Suit,

BY the opinion handed down by the
Supreme Court last week, the laws
of the State Council of the Junior Or
der of American Mechanics are up
held, and Lincoln Council, No. / of
Camden, the oldest branch of the or
der in the State, must surrender its
charter.
The action is the outcome of the
suit instituted by Charles Asten, a
member of Lincoln Council He be-
came sick two years ago and was
taken to the hospital, where he was
forced to remain for some time. Lin
coin Council paid his benefits for a
time and then refused further pay
ment. He contended that IL weeks
benefits of $5 each, amounting to $55,
were due him.
Following the laws of the order, he
began the regular appeal proceedings,
taking his evidence before the APP
peal committee. That body decided
that Lincoln Council must pay the
benefits S55. Lincoln Council enter
ed an appeal to the State Council, and
that body upheld the decision of the
Appeal Committee.
On Lincoln Council again refusing
to pay the benefits the matter was
taken before the Board of Managers.
and Lincoln Council was given so days
in which to comply with the order.
On the refusal of the Council to COM
ply with the order, the Council was
suspended.
The Council then certioraried the
case to the Supreme Court. The
opinion handed down dismisses the
case, the ruling being made that since
the rules of the order had been COM
piled with the courts would not inter-
fere.
This is the first time that a similar
case has been taken into the courts of
New Jersey or any other State, so far
as local members of the order know.

In Atlantic.

In the dissolution of the firm of
the johnson Mercantile Company
of this place, Extra looses one of
it's brightest and best young BUSH
ness men and we are sanguine when
we say we deplore the change. Mr..

organization that has done vast
amount of business in Extra and of
a word derogatory of his integrity
or character. AS a gentleman he
is above reproach as business
man, he is success and as Gus
todiau OF the peoples wealth he is
an honest man. For some time Mr..
| Johnson has been Town Treasurer
and his report being checked over

4 hands was accounted for, His re-
port shows the town funds to be as
follows General fund SIT SO, water
