Should Be Remedied.

With the coming of the milder eve
nings, the Corner Loafers' Club is
prospecting nightly. Not content with
encumbering the sidewalks, the mem
hers vie with each other in embroider-
ing the walk with expostulation and
making insolent and vulgar remarks
when any woman or girl passes by.
Is there no relief for this condition?
Must decent citizens submit to it? Or
do we live in the state of Vermont
with all the rights, privileges and i'm
munities of the people? There is law
in the statutes. and peace officers
enough in the town, to disband the
club. Get busy.-Island Pond Herald.
Why is it that the smaller towns in
Guiding Swanton have to submit to a
nuisance like the above? 1t is not
tolerated in cities even in Vermont.
These persons are made by officers to
keep to the edge of the walk to keen
a passage clear. If persons who col.
lect and block the walks are appealed
to in the proper manner this practice
can be easily remedied. -Swanto
Courier.

Cleaning-Up Day.

DR.. Henry D. Holton, secretary and
executive officer of the state board of
health, announces that May has been
designated as Cleaning up day. I"
He makes the following statement:
''Spring is with US. The accumula
tions of filth and other unsanitary
conditions in our streets and arounc
our dwellings,, which winter has kept
covered with it's white mantle, rem
dering it innoxious by its icy clasp
will soon be a fostering mass; the
breeding place of noxious gases and (;
contributing source of disease.
"We therefore appoint May 3rd al
cleaning-up day. On that day let al
householders and town or city officials
attend to the task Of cleaning up tn,
back yards in and around the build
ings; the streets and winter dumpinl
places, thus contributing to make no
only a more beautiful but a reall,
better and more sanitary Vermont.
'The extending the duties of Arbo
day for this purpose has the mos
cordial approval of the governor.
"Per Order of the State Board o
Health"
Added to the approval of the cover
nor is the approval of every man ant
woman in the state who has desir
that the cities and villages put OF
their best clothes and make that mos
favorable impression that Nature ha
decreed they can make. There is onl.
one way that the suggestion might b.
bettered, and that is by having
"cleaning-up day" come just as sool
as possible and then by making ever!
day cleaning-up day. Do it now
on May third and every day.-St. AL

NATURE TO
 THE RESCUE
Furnishes Ample Water Supply to Rich Mine In
 Time of Need
TRUTH SOUNDS
 LIKE A ROMANCE

Those people who are over fearful that natural resources are to be eventually exhausted, should take lleart at what has happened on the south slope of the Salt River noun tains It has been demonstrated that when the need is sufficiently strong. Nature responds most gallantly, SC that when the coal and the forests are gone perhaps Nature will develop some new ones or teach man to use n substitute. Over in the section ln- dicated four persons staked some claims q few months ago and have spent the winter developing them with the result that they seem to have all that could De desired in the way of ore as a prospect for a big mine. The chief drawback was the scarcity of water as the camp has been supplied all winter with water from the well at the Gold Coin mine q mile and a half west of the ground in mind. And now. within the last two or three weeks, Mother Nature has developed only a mile or so from the mine. what is believed to be living spring, with a flow ample for the maintenance of a fifty stamp mill
 The story sounds like romance but the authority for it is one Of the owners of the mine, who with two of his partners on Thursday per fected their location notice on the spring which they had filed on a week before. The spring and the mine are both there, he says. for the inspection of any person who IS sui ficiently interested to go and see them and it is only eleven miles as the crow flies or nineteen miles as one goes in a buggy or a buzz wagon Whats more the property is not for sale. nor any stock in it.

Texas or touched very lightly on the subject It was. of course. known that such ore existed in certain To- calities in that state. but to what eN- tent was not known. Some attempt was made to manufacture iron at certain points, using charcoal as fuel, Lut. while the iron made was of rath- CT extra quality. the output cut very little figure commercially. The eN- cessive cost of transporting coke to the vicinity of the known ore mil itated against the production of iron in large quantities. While this diff ficulty stiiI feniainss..tfie high cost of coke has not operated to prevent a more diigent search for ore and q

more thorough exploitation of the known deposits. As a result it is re ported that large deposits of iron ore ot very desirable quality have been discovered. Analyses show this ore to contain an average of 50 per cent in metallic iron. sometimes as much as GO per cent, with bare trace or sul- phur and d very small amount oi phosphorus. As a consequence, large companies are being formed in Texas for the mining and shipping of this ore to points where coke can be readily and cheaply obtained. Al present the tendency seems to be to ship this ore only to points where water rates are available.

Mir Bail says that he is a life long miner and something of an engineer and he feels more than confident of the future of the property. The present ore both as to quantity and values is certainly flattering and he has every reason for believing the vein goes down. That can only be told by sinking and it is the plan of the owners to keep right along with their development in this way. with the aid or such returns as they can get from their arastra plants. They have no notion of building d big stamp mill until they have developed large tonnage and advised themselves of the character of the ore at depth. It is now free milling but MT. Bail has no doubt it will be base aJ water
 level, either copper or iron. but in any event the ores for big mill come from depth and with him, no depth, no mill. for when he has a mill he wants right kind of ore.
 The story of the spring is that the men have worked in that locality without a sign of water all winter long, except that from the Gold Coin well. and there has been no rain since last October. Discussing the water question recently with an old man who chanced to pass that way, the latter told them of d place near the head of a wash where the sand was moist and where he got water enough
 to drink by digging out the sand with his hands. Thinking it might be suitable place for q well they in vestigated at the earliest opportunity
 and found not merely wet sand but a little water. Resolving to sink for water in the vicinity at some early convenient season they left the place for a few days and when they re- turned there was still more water, in fact it coursed down the gulch for some distance They put up tenn porary location notices and Thurs day went back to the place in an automobile and perfected their fil- ipgs Meantime the flow has been increasing and it was stated that with careful use there is now water enough bubbling from the ground to keep a fifty stamp mill going.
 MT. Balls theory is that the water has been working toward the sur face for a long time due to internal changes in the earth and has finally broken through from some subter- ranean source. In the course of geo. logical events that spring was due to arrive right now and the owners of the Good Roads mine happened tc be on the ground at the psycholog ical moment. And so far as anybody knows that spring has as good q chance as any other. to flow on for ever It surely cannot be fed by sur face water for there has been nOno in that country for months.

of great value to the state. His able
