A Remarkable Spring.

The oldest inhabitants say they
have never seen so early spring
It will be recalled that some sugar
makers tapped their sugar places the
last days of February and one farmer
who did this told the writer that he
had his buckets washed and put away
on April 2. The ice went out of Cry
stal lake the very last days of March,
and several farmers began their plow-
ing before April FOOLS day, and one
husbandman stated in town Monday
that he exected to sow some oats yes
terday. Gardens have been plowed in
some cases and vegetables planted and
the grass looks very green in most
places, which is welcome sign to
many farmers who are short of hay
and now look to getting their cattle
out to pasture very early. The roads
are remarkably we'll dried up, the
dust actually flying in many places
bet Jeen Barton and Orleans. Young
grasshoppers have been seen, frogs
have been out since the last days of
March, and flies and other insects re-
mind one of May or June, Truly this
is remarkable weather for Northern
Vermont.

One Hog Brings $48.6O.

That "Pigs is Pigs or hogs is
hogs, was never before quite realized
in the fullest extent. A visit to two
local meat markets explains some
what, why pork chops, ham and other
pork is so dear. H. A. Folsom recent
ly paid S. ". Corliss of Orleans
S48.60 for one hog which weighed 4O5
pounds. F. w. Comstock paid Harley
Drew of Glover $45. so for one hog a
short tirnesago. A local butcher told
the wr ter that the same hogs 16 or
II years ago would have cost him only
S12 to $14 each. He also said that he
thought pork would go even higher
than now. That pork is high and that
hog raising is profitable to the farm
er cannot be we'll denied.

BIG ASBESTOS DEPOSIT
Lowell Mountain May Be the Scene OF
Large Operations if Present In
dications Have Anything to Do
with the Outlook.

The following article recently ap-
peared in the Montpelier Daily Jour
nal and will be of interest to our
readers.
If the whole of Lowell mountain is
composed of such deposit of asbes-
tos as has already been uncovered
there it would afford an inexhaustible
supply of that valuable and desirable
mineral. Two mines have been
opened in the mountain, one on the
Lowell and one on the Eden side, but
only one of them is in operation to-
day.
Mr.. Gallagher. who came from Vir-
ginia few years ago, while working
on comparatively small scale, IS
producing a profitable amount of as
bestos and will probably increase his
output before long. He is now TAX
ing out ton of ore day. and the
price for asbestos ranges anywhere
from $40 to 500 ton, according to
quality. AS the asbestos lies in pock-
cts rather than in permanent and
we'll defined vein the quality varies
from time to time.
The investment in the Lowell mine
represents perhaps $50. 900, but as an
crates the mine, there are no reports
to give accurate information as to the
cost of equipment and operation or
the value of the output. The rough
ore is dug out from the side of the
mountain. put through a crusher, and
the pure asbestos, ready for use is
the mine has to he hauled to the rail
fot OF 1oh 10 c
away. The station at Barton Land
ing, or Orleans. is nearer. but the
road climbs over the mountain IN
Irashurg, so that it would not pay to
haul over the shorter route.
Government experts who have made
careful examination of the de.
posits opened up by the Gallagher
operations, state that if the mine
were worked to its capacity it might
realize net profit of $500 day.
Asbestos was first discovered ir
what are known as the Belvidere and
Lowell belts by Judge E. M. Tucker
in 1899. One belt passes almost di-
rectly through Lowell village. These
were prospected through Lowell vii
lage. These were prospected with
considerable care, but it was a few
years later before developing opera
tions commenced. Prominent miners
of asbestos in the United States anC
Canada visited the place. The
amount of asbestos to be found il
the whole world is not large enough
to meet the demand and the miners a!
we'll as consumers are interested il
any new discovery. Canadians are
especially interested because the.
produce bv far the larger part of tn,
asbestos used in this country.
The deposit on the Lowell side o
the mountain was the first discovered
but in 1900 B. B. Blake discovered al
outcrop on the Eden side.

Richford as Terminal.

Canadian Pacific officials were in
Richford Tuesday and made prelimin-
ary surveys with view to putting
in turntable or Y for turning
locomotives here. If a turntable, il
will be put in north of the track scale,
and if Y is determined upon, the
present track back of the freight
house will be utilized. The construc.
tion of one or the other of these con.
veniences would seem to indicate
Richford as terminal for the Boston
and Maine and the Canadian Pacific.
1t has been rumored that the B. and
M. might take over the C.. P. road
from Newport to Richford and the
move tends to substantiate the re,
port.

At the postponed meeting of the

evening, it was voted to purchase a

one that will cost from $4,000 to S2500.
Besides the amount pledged by the la {.

value of the organ now in use about
$1,000 is needed, and it was proposed

Over $500 was raised at the meeting
and it is anticipated the rest will be
easily raised. thus keeping the fund
intact.
We especially invite the people this
week to glance at the advertising
columns of the Monitor. The unso-
licited Increase in advertising the
past year has been marvellous and
only demonstrates the value of our col
umns as an advertising medium. The
E. w. Barron company have increased
space this week, and two~~full page
advertisements are carried besides
large volume of other business. A full
page by new concern altogether is
contracted for next week or the week
following and never were there so
many calls for space. That the increase
has taken place unsolicited and in the
face of an advance in rates is remark
able and the IL pages which we have
published for six months past gives
none too much room now, where
eight pages used to suffice. There is
absolutely no question about the wise
use of advertising space being a pay
ing proposition for the merchant.
