Manchester, containing five automobiles
and quantity of supplies, was de-
stroyed BY fire about 10 o'clock Wednes-
day evening with an estimated loss of
So 500, partially insured. 1t is believed

which is almost universally used now,
and he also invented machine for fin
ishing chair stock. For many years he
was seectman of Weston and it was
during that period that he began a
good roads" movement in that town,
purchasing the first road machine the
town ever saw and with it making the
Ludlow mountain road, which was
up to that time almost impossible,
smooth turnpike road, without a wat
erbar, by using a stonepuller and gum
powder to get out the rocks and
the road machine to finish the road.
The town, however, refused to pay for
the machine until it had paid for the use
of it a number of years. Mr. Jaquith
was veteran of the Civil war and was
IA years old at the time of his death.
.He-:had been at the retreat for treat |

an American. John Nj. Longyear OF
Marquette, Mich. who has a title TO
10 square miles from a Norwegian
company, reports that his company

The Engineering and Mining Jour

The mines are worked by from $50

season lasts but three months. mining
is carried on throughout the year.
But Spitzbergen is still a No Mans

In fact, Russians have already invad-

away cargo of coal Consequently

coffee, didn't think could do without
