WANT NEW LONDON FOR
 GRAND. TRUNK TERMINAL
Mayor Mahan Urges Work Upon 1t anc
 Mill Name Comn1ittee

Mayor Mahan Urges Work Upon 1t and Will Name Committee. The vote of the New London court of common council for Mayor Mahan to appoint a committee to endeavor to bring about the selection. of New Lon don as terminal for the Grand Trunk railroad was the most important act of. the November council meeting, held Monday evening in the council cham ber-in fact. 1t was the only matter of real import to crop out during the session, which was a short. and une- <ventful one s. A
 In urging attention to the possibili- ties of New London as a.terminaX a. for the Grand Trunk, Mayer Mahan de- clared that the fact that New London is not now the. terminal of the road is due to the apathy and lifelessness of a committee which was appointed some years ago sto- confer with the Grand Trunk officials with a view to induc- ing them to make New London a ter nfinal.
 The Grand Trunk road was ready, he said, to spend $1O0, 900 in New Lon don improving property of the desired property could be secured; to estab- fish grain elevators and a line of ocean steamships. A committee was appointed but the matter dragged un- til former First Vice President Hayes Of the Grand Trunk resigned his po- sition with the Southern Pacific and returned to the Grand Trunk. Stimuli taneously came aschange of policy and New London was dismissed from con- sideration as terminal of the road
 Now" said Mayor Mahan, the Grand Trunk is engaged in establish ing a magnificent system from the Atlantic to the Pacific There are to be more than 5000 miles of track through a virgin country" This sys- lem he said must have a seaboard terminal. and. he asked why it should not be New London. He paused to pay tribute to New Londons harbor, which he said was the finest in the world"
 His honor said that New London had lost one opportnnity and that it was not simply a wild rumor, but a reality. He said he was certain from 2 conversation with Vice President Fitzhugh of the Grand Trunk. who has summer cottage at ocean Beach. MT. Fftzhugh had said that the Grand Trunk was-ready-at the time the mat ter was agitated to- establish a ter mfnal in New London. with an outlet through a line of. steamships.
 MT. Mahan thought this chance, al- though not so ripe perhaps as before, should not be allowed to slip by un- heded. An effort to make New London a terminal would indicate that the New London was alive to its opportunities and not sleeping. MT. Mai1an suggest ed the appointment of . committee, and VIII name ena

GREAT INTEREST IN ELECTION.
Norwich People Eager to Get the Re- turns from New York, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

Owing to the telegraph companies failing to take any stories on the elec- tions- Tuesday. there was a big crowd about the tickers where they were run ming last night. and to The Bulletin about everyone looked for information regarding the big political contests. Throughout the entire evening tele- phone calls came in steadily from all sections for information about the bat tie of ballots, and the information was at hand for the news seekers.
 The fact that Charles s. Whitman was elected district attorney of New York is pleasing to his many friends in this city. his birthplace. Early indi- cations pointed to the election of Bat tie, but there came a change and Whit man will be the successor to Jerome, so to that office there will be additional interest attached from this section.

merchants of Jerusalem bought the yarns and fabrics of other nations Those who -uiuGed the gold of Ophlr created the wealth of the day.
 Herodotus speaks of the lost mines of Greece. By his account they were fabulously rich in precious metals. Undoubtedly this was the foundation of the greatness of Athens. Her schools of art, of literature and phil osophy were built probably from the wealh extracted from the mines of Greece. When Rome attained to the zenith of her power under the early Caesars, sh delved in the mines of Europe and Asia and garnered the wealth accumulated by other nations and brought that wealth to Rome. When Oriental luxury, wealth and ease had sapped the foundation of Roman liberty, mining became to some extent a lost art, so far as precious metals were concerned. The Dark ges settled upon the civilized world.
 Brutality, force and power destroyed whatever of righteousness was inner ent in the human race. Superstition and ignorance reigned supreme. Learning was driven to the cloisters
 and gold and silver was buried in the vaults of the Jews. Columbus discov- cred the new world. The riches of
 the Incas and Aztecs flowed in a continuous stream to the old world and mining for gold and silver unae- the direction of the priests received a new impetus, new life was breathed
 into every industrial art and the world
 made rapid progress in all lines for centuries after.
 The discovery of gold in California i in 1s4S and in Australia in 1850 again created flush times throughout the
 world. Wages were increased, manu- factories were multiplied, banking l tries were developed, new inventions tries were developed. new invntions
 created. the use of steam was extend ed in all directions and the world saw rapid changes for the better. Gov

 here we wish to say that the import auce of having the right man in the position he occupies cannot be over estimated. He has accomplished won ders in the face of many most trying obstacles, and can now feel he has won. Those who have not personally visited the mines can have but feeble conception of the vast amount of work performed or the circumstances under which much of it had to be con ducted. The shareholders in the prop critics of Calumet & Arizona and Superior & Pittsburg can rest content in the knowledge that Mir. Powell and his associates have accomplished the desired object of bringing the proper ties through a period of great trial to Certain and permanent success.
 Leached Ore Bodies the Key.
 The leached ore areas in the Bisbee camp have always preceded merchant. able ores. No exception to this rule has occurred of which we have knowl. edge, so MT.

 Today the water from the company's mines amounts to about 3,400 gallons, enough. true, but easily cared for and no longer a menace. While the Briggs and Hoatson shafts were being freed from water it permitted the sinking of the Hoatson shaft on the Del Norte claim. of Superior & Pittsburg this being next to Lowell ground of the Copper uQeen company. This tract had always loked good to the keen miners of the Lake Superior or. ganization. Ion Ore said in a hun dred issues it was certain to make good. A trip through its underground workings a few days ago pleased us immensely. The ore is there For POO feet directly along the side lines of the Lowell it is blocking out one of the greatest deposits in the Bisbee camp. It is exactly where it was ex. ptSltd. ElcHl tHt 1llu lO lut HUI levels ore bodies are being met with in gratifying number. On the 18th we walked through an ore body hun dreds of feet and it looked as if this ore will be stoped out for the entire width of the claim.
 In places we saw oxides rich in na tive copper mingled with sulphides oi high grade. The 18th level of the mine is now being opened and will prove satisfactory.
 Briggs To Be Great Shaft.
 The trend of the rich ore channel oi this camp makes through the Hoat son towards the Briggs shaft. The ter ritory surrounding it to a considerable width is trending to this point. There will surely be copper coming out ot the shaft to repay for all the water lifted. It is looked. upon by experts of the Bisbee camp as a point tha will find wonderful concentration o copper

 The Briggs shaft is not being sunl at this time but drifts under-cuttins it are being pushed from both the Hoatson and Junction shafts whicl will drain the vicinity of the shaft oi water permitting its downward prog ress.
