THE ASBESTOS INDUSTRY.
(From the Montpelier Journai.)

The reports from the asbestos region
in Lowell and vicinity point to the pos
sibility Of a large development In the in
dustry which may make 1t one of the
chief mineral products of the State. AS
reported In the news columns Of this
paper yesterday an attempt is being made
to provide railroad facilities for this
region now somewhat remote from any
transportation line. Near the point
where the counties of Lamoille, Orleans
and Franklin meet. along the ridge of
the Green Mountains. Is found ono Of the
few important asbestos deposits in the
United States. The principal mines
worked are in the town of Lowell, but
apparently there are large undeveloped
deposits In Eden and Belviderc.
A few miles away. across the Canadian
border. are the Thetford and Black Lake
| asbestos mines, the most important
| known in the world. In 1903 the United
| States produced only "a per cent. Of the
asbestos used In this country Since that
| time. however. the output of the Lowell
mines has increased materially. From
| this fiber fireproof and sanitary flooring
| Is made being mixed with a waterproof
| binder The very fine pulvcrized fiber Is
used in the manufacture of paints and
| for the insulation of wire. The refuse
fiber and pulverized rock. mixed with
coal tar and applied in a plastic state
makes an excellent roofing material

Is used in the manufacture OF fasuiahors
for electrical purposes.

While the Vermont deposits have not been
thoroughly explored 1t seems probable
that very extensive and valuable de

mentioned, and the development of tn,
mines means much for the future OF Yer

II mining is to be carried on on a larg,

1t should do SO at once. or else permi
any other company ready 20 40 the worl
to begin operations.
The report of renewed activity in tn
asbestos industry is another indication o
the quickened Industrial life OF the Stat
which promises larger things for tn
future. The opening of new mines an
quarries, the discussion of proposed nsy
railway lines. the more hopeful agricul
tural outlook-all are encouraging sign
of the times. VERMONT ought to make
splendid record during the next te
years.

LAUNDERING SILK WAISTS.

Wash the silk in cool water with very
little white soap In It, Rinse in several
waters to make clear. then hang In the
shade and dry. China silk must be slight
ly damp and ironed with a cool iron; If
tho silk is too damp and the iron hot
enough to make 1t smooth the silk will
turn yellow and its beauty be spoiled,
while the heat will have injur-
ed the fabric and shortened
It's usefulness. Pongee silk must he alb
solutely dry when ironed, else it will be
ruined, and this Is the point why 1t is
so often spoiled when washed. 1t will
never look the same If II is once ironed
damp and with hot iron.

WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY
The Croas- state Railroad from Rut.
land to Montpelier Should
be Pushed.
(From the Rutland News.)

Well. the survey of the Cross-Stats
railroad has been completed. at any rate.
Our notion is that the engineers have
performed a remarkable feat In laying
out line over the mountains from Mont
pelier to Rutland only 20 miles longer
than the shortest distance between the
two cities. wherein the maximum grade
Is 50 feet to the mile. This seemed hardly
possible. 1t Is noteworthy that practically
all the excess Of distances lies in the first
sixteen miles out of Rutland From here
TO Pittsfleld as the crow flies It is 10 miles.
whereas the railroad line will be 80
miles long. due to the worming of the
line around tho mountains. There Is no
doubt that the line can be built for a.
400, oOo 1t will be worth all that II costs
Rutland and Montpelier and every other
town tapped. This city could we'll afford
to pay bonus Of 100000 for the CON-
struction of this railroad, besides fur.
nishing tho necessary right Of way,
Every other town along the proposed
line could do proportionatsly as much Ia
encourage tho project
