UliooleburY Register

From several places in our village
unsightly piles of rubbish are in plain
sight. The worst is the school house
yard, which ought to be the most
beautiful place in town and a play
ground for the children. Perhaps it
was necessary to use this yard for a
dump for time, but it should have
been graded and covered before now.
Other unsightly places have less excuse,
especially those on the river banks in
plain sight from the bridge. This is
the show spot of Middlebury, naturally
the most beautiful point of observation,
and nothing unsightly should be allowed
to greet the eye from this point.

COPPER Mine in
THOMPSON VALLEY
In Blasting Out Rock For Roads
Ore is Found Which Assays a
Large Sum- Be Developed

Quite a sensation has been
produced in a certain section of
Thompson Valley by the dis
covery of what seems to be a
rich ore, carrying gold, silver,
and copper. A sample of this
ore was sent to assayers in
Butte, Montana, who report that
the sample sent shows gold
worth 20c per ton, silver worth
12c per ton and copper worth
$98. 60 per ton. The ore, while
not rich in gold and silver, is
very rich in copper.
The ore was discovered after
a blast by the road people sever
al weeks ago. A large ledge of
this same rock exposed by the
road people, contained this par
ticular ore-bearing rock in a
ledge or seam. Just how it will
pan out deeper down is not
known, as no further attempts
have been made to find out. The
d scovery was made on the farm
of Messrs. Milton and w. A.
Thompson, near the White
church, about one mile west.
Messrs. Thompson, will, they
say, put in the necessary blasts
soon, and endeavor to find out
what they have. There has been.
frequent discoveries of valuable
ores in this county, but so far
not in sufficient quantities to
Justify mining. This may prove
to be an exception.

The Experiment Corn.

The editor has his crop of corn
all in now, and some folks may
be interested to know how much
he made. On little over Sd of
an acre, measured with a tape
line he cribbed seventy and one
half bushels. The corn was
measured in flour barrel, we'll
heaped. This was not quite all.
as several large baskets full of
"roasin' ears" were used, and
the corn taken to the Fair is not
counted. In all, there was Just
about rs bushels. AS everybody
knows this was not a first class
corn year, and the editors crop
fell short. In addition to the un-
favorable season the corn stood
too thick in the row, due to the
mistake made by replanting. In
an ideal season the corn might
not have been too thick. How
ever, rs bushels per acre is not
a bad yield. And remember, too.
this is not a guess. Both land
and corn was accurately measur-
ed except the few bushels as
stated above. Many of our big
yields reported are estimates or
rough guesses, and can be only
approximately correct. 1t has
been noticed that they are never
guessed too low, or the number
of bushels estimated below the
mark seldom ever.

DEATH COMES TO
MRS. ELIZA WITTEN
Remarkable TazeweT Lady, After
Many Years Of Useful Life, Is
Called Above at Advanced Age.

Mrs. Ann Eliza Witten, widow
of the late DR.. Thomas G.. Wit
ten, died at her home here We'd
nesday night, about 1920 clock.
She was eighty y ears of age,
lacking a few months, and had
been confined to her room and
bed for 5 years or more, still her
death was something of a sur
prise, as she had not appeared
TO be sinking rapidly until We'd
nesday. She passed away peace
fully and quietly. surrounded by
members of her family, friends
and relatives, as traveller lies
down to rest after a long and
tiresome journey.
She was the mother of six
children, all of whom are liv-
ing, viz: Messrs. E. F. Witten,
proprietor of the Tazewell Pro-
duce Co., F. T. Witten, editor of
the Bluefield Daily Times, of
Bluefield, w. Va; Mrs. DIR. G.
w. Greever; Misses lessee, Lou
and Maggie Strother Witten, all
of whom were here except Miss
Jessee, who is an invalid in a
hospital for treatment, and Mr..
F. L. Witten.
Deceased leaves besides her
children, one sister, Mrs. Capt.
A. j. Tynes, of this town. Her
only brother, Capt. CA. Fudge,
died a short time ago. The flu
neral and burial will take place
today, Friday, at 2 p. m. Inter
ment in the old cemetery.
Thus passes from the stage of
human life one of Tazewell's old
est and in many respects, most
remarkable women The sun
shine and storms, joys and sor-
rows, through which she passed
for more than three quarters of
a century, had all contributed to
the moulding of a strong, well
rounded character, for all of
these are necessary to the
growth and maturity of an
abounding life.
The life and character of this
remarkable woman des erves
more detailed and extended no
tice than time and space permits
this issue. Further details, etc.,
will be given next week.
