Spread The Gospel.
Mortified News.)

| People out of the state are little aware
of the fertility of Vermont SOIL it is true
there are many stones on the land, but
| when these are picked out and laid into
| good solid stone walls, what is more
picturesque and, what is more to the
point, perhaps, what more durable? THE
soil freed from the stones is very fertile
and, as statistics show, capable of a
larger yield of nearly any crop, than
many of the western states exploited and
widely advertised for the extensive crop
yield per acre. While Vermont is very
mountainous and the land hard to cult
yate yet the returns from thelefrom more
than compensate for the labor over the
easier cultivation of the more level lands
of the larger western states.
There is rarely, if ever, failure of
crops on a Vermont farm, seldom a
drought or deluge, never a cyclone to
destroy within a few moments the work
of months, or the hot dry winds to burn
a crop into crisp leaves. Vermont yields
to those who have faith in her, and are
willing to labor rs faithfully as they
would have to in the west, if they were
successful. Farming in the west is done
on much larger scale, than IN our own
little state and it costs more to. Spend
the same amount of money on a Ver-
mont farm that is spent on a western
ranch and under the same conditions
and the Vermopter would have more
money to put Into the savings bank at
the end of the year than the western
farmer. Be loyal to Vermont and
Vermont will be good to you.

SHELTER AT ALMEDA
is CLOSED DOWN

Receiver Burley OF the Almeda
was In the city Wednesday, having
Just returned from the mine, where
he has been for some time studying
conditions. Mr.. Burley says that af-
ter operating the smelter since Aug
ust 81, the date of the receiver
ship, he has come to the definite con-
clusion that 1t is impossible to oper-
ate the smelter with any margin OF
profit, as II Is only by the strictest
economy that II can be made to more
than pay the running expenses.
Mr.. Burley has closed down the
smelter, but has left Supt. John Ross
and crew of men at the mine max
ing tests which will be necessary be-
fore any decision is reached as to the
type OF concentrators needed. These
tests will require probably go days
and Mr.. Burley says he will announce
through the columns OF The Courier
the results OF his investigation and
what he considers necessary to be
done for the best interests OF the
company. Since operating the mine,
the receiver has found that II is q
bigger property than he had any
idea, and like Mr.. Ross, is OF the
opinion that the ore is 30 per cent.
smelling and 70 per cent. concen-
trating.
Since August 21 the smelter has
put out about $4,000 worth OF matte
but It was only by the strictest econ
omy that 1t showed a small margin
OF profit The item OF hauling had
been reduced something over 70
per cent. by the use OF automobile
truck, which hauled matte from the
smelter to the railway station at Mer'
lin, distance OF II miles This re.
duced the expense from SO per ton
as previously paid when four-horsc
teams we're used, to s2.sQ per ton.
Mr.. Burley is more than satisfied
with the value OF the property, but
he considers II absolutely necessary
to install a concentration to be uset
in conjunction with the present smell
ter.
