ANOTHER ENGINE FOR BARRE.
Central Vermont R. r. to Send 1t Here
to Relieve Congestion of Traffic.

After hearing the complaints of the
Barre Granite Manufacturers association
that members of the association were
seriously handicapped in their business
by lack of adequate shifting facilities
on the Central Vermont railroad, Gen.
eraI Manager Jones of that railroad to-
day notified Secretary Wishart of the
association by telephone that an extra
engine viii be sent to Barre and kept
here until the present congestion is done
away with.
This change will give two shifting
engines for the local work, and it is ex-
pected that the two will be able to han
die the traffic Heretofore, much OF the
complaint of poor service has been due
to the fact that the single shifting engine
had been used to send the passenger
train TO Wiliamstown when the regular
branch train was running late, thus
leaving the granite manufacturers with
out means for moving stock.
So serious had the situation become
that in some of the granite plants it
become necessary to send workmen home
because il was impossible to get stock
moved into the plants. There is quite
rush OF business just at the present time
because of the anxiety 10 get work dorp
and set by Memorial day Many man
ufacturers presented their complaints to
the associations officials and the latter
have been conferring with various Cen
trail Vermont officials during the past

ing camps have just been issued by the
United States geological survey. They
are the maps of Ray and vicinity in
Pinal county, Arizona, and of Creede
and vicinity, in Mineral county, Colo
rado, The Ray map is the result of a
detailed survey of this famous copper
camp on the large scale of l;l2,000, or
more than inches to the mile. The
contour interval is % feet. This map
shows every topographic feature of the
area as well as the location of works
of man, including buildings, mine shafts,
tunnels, etc, and will serve as a base
for any contemplated engineering or
geologic work.
The topographic map of Creede and
vicinity is published on the scale of
l:24000, or more than 21a inches to the
mile, with a contour interval of so
feet. This mining camp is situated in
the heart of the Colorado Rockies, the
attitudes ranging from 1900 to 10000

rapher
Up to 1911, according to the geological
survey, the Ray or Mineral creek min
ing district had produced little, but from

important copper districts of the coun-
try. Large ore reserves have been de-
veloped and extensive reduction works
have been provided at Hayden.

been an important gold, silver, lead, and
zinc camp for number of years, the
annual output averaging between one
and two million dollars in value. In
