West Rutland Quarries.

In 1898 William F. Barnes purchased
what was considered tract of barren.
swampy land, giving in exchange an old
horse worth not more than 80. This
land contained nearly all of the valuable
marble deposits of West Rutland, worth
today. probably millions of dollars, and
constituting. perhaps, the largest marble
producing area in single township in the
world Before his death Mr.. Barnes sold
this land for $130,000. The real develop
ment began when Redfield Proctor, about
1870. became interested in marble curry
ing, and the growth of the company is

the head OF other minerals" also ochre,
precious metals and mineral waters.
A very complete description is given Of
the various purposes for which Vermont
woods are used. More wood is used in
Vermont for planning mill products than
for any other purpose, and the box indus
try ranks second. Statistics show that
more than half the wood used in these IN
dustries in the state was grown in Yer
mont The average cost Is given per
thousand feet for II woodworking indus
tries and these figures show that the aver
age cost of Vermont grown woods for
these II industries was S17.9J. while the

Asbestos and Tale in Vermont.

According to report of the United
States Geological Survey, Vermont is by
far the most important producer of
chrysotiIe or long-fbred asbestos IN the
United States The only one of several
asbestos regions in the state to be oper-
ated is the one situated on the northeast
side of BeIvidere mountains in the town
of Lowell Apparently the asbestos found
in this region of the Canadian vein,
which is the most extensive known in the
world.
The production of tale and soapstone in
Vermont in 1912 showed gain of nearly
II per cent in quantity and 80 per cent
in value, compared with that of 1911.
Since that time several new mills have
been erected. There are large deposits of
tale and soapstone throughout the state.

Vermont's Marble and Granite.

The local Geological Report shows
that there are about 40 companies
quarryiug or manufacturing granite on
considerable scale in Vermont.
There is an extended description Of the
larger centers of granite production, The
city of Barre Is said to be the center OF
the monumental granite business of the
world and about 1000 men are employed
in connection with the quarrying and
cutting of granite in Barre, the annual
payroll amounting approximately to 81
125.OUO
Marble is treated with the same thor
oughness as granite. The quarrying and
cutting Of this stone Is one of the oldest
and one OF the most important Of Yer
mont industries.
| Although . states and the territory of
! Alaska produce marble. Vermont supplies
nearly 20 per cent OF the monumental and
statuary marble and fl per cent OF the
! binding marble of the United States In
recent years there has been a large i'm
crease in the production of building mar
/ ble in this state

INDUSTRIAL VERMONT
STATES NEWEST BOOK
Publicity Bureau Tells of the Produc-
lions, Resources and Manufactures
of the State.

The Vermont Publicity Bureau, de
oartment in the office of the secretary of
state, has Just issued a volume of 800
pages. entitled Industrial Vermont,
which is the third book of considerable
size to be issued by that department,
and like the other two is from the pen of
Walter H. Crockett of Montpelier.
The first book, Vermont, the Land Of
Green Mountains, a second edition Of
which was published earlier this year,
dealt with Vermont as a summer tourist
state; the second publication, Vermont
Farms, was devoted to the exploitation of
Nermont's agricultural resources and OPP
portunities; the third volume, just issued,
sets forth the mineral, manufacturing and
water power resources of the state. The
purpose of this latest volume is expressed
in the foreword as follows: 1T is the
earnest desire of this department that
this book may call the attention Of the
general public to Nermont's wealth OF un-
developed and partly developed resources
which are sufficient, if developed as they
deserve to be, to make it as important as
industrial commonwealth any of its Sis
ter states of southern New England.

States Mineral Resources.

The mineral resources Of the state, its
most important industrial feature at the
present time. are given first place. Much
space is devoted to granite marble, slate,
asbestos, tale and soapst6ne, and mention
also Is made OF the states mineral prod
ucts Of less Importance. Attention is
called to the fact that although Vermont
contains less than 10000 square miles,
orly six Of the II states Of the union be
ing smaller. it contains the most valuable
deposits OF granite. marble and asbestos
of any state in the country. and ranks sec
ond in the production of slate tale and
soapstone Nermout's output Of marble Is
almost half that of the entire COUNTRY, Al
though in 1911 1t states produced gran
tie valued at more than 100000 each, and
seven states produced granite valued at
more than 100000 each. Vermont
maintained its lead and continues to
maintain it. In the production of the
finer grades of granite and marble this
state is far ahead of all others.

coALING UP FOR TRIP

The Columbine moved to the Ketchikan Wharf Co.'s dock this morning to take on coal for the trip on which she starts tomorrow. She will do some buoy replacing work between here and Juneau and will sail from that port for the Westward, going as far as Scotch Gap and Unalaska. Cap tain Dibrell will board the yes sel at Juneau and make the Westward trip. The probab- ilities are that she will be gone for at least two months.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH
 ON THE RAILROAD

Ben Hinna, well known cit zen of Cordova, and a member of the local lodge of Eagles. met his death by drowning in the Chitina river on Friday. Hinna was working with the bridge crew at the Chitina bridge repairing the bents that had gone out because of the flow ice. While saving off a bent he fell into the river, and although men and two boats which were kept ready for just such an emergency, made an effort to reach him, they were unsuccessful. The body dis. appeared at once and has not been recovered. Sup. Corser has offered a reward for the recovery of the body. -Cordova Times.

NATIVES KILLING
 MANY SEA OTTER

Sea otter are being killed 10 the westward according to ad. vices received in this city by the district attorney. Although it is against the law to kill sea otter the Indians and half breeds to the westward arc making it a practice to hunt their valuable skins. The pelts are sold to traders and shipped out to San Francisco on the boats that come north with supplies for the canneries and big prices are secured for them in the eastern market. When caught With the skins the Indians claim that they have found the sea otter dead on the beach or floating on the water, but those who have seen the hides assert that bullet holes can be seen in the skins. The district attorney has been asked to make an investigation and will stop the practice of killing the sea otter as, the regulations of the Department of Commerce protect them from hunters.

LET'S CELEBRATE

In another column appears the call for a meeting issut q by Mayor Harris to prepare the ways and means for a Fourth of July celebration in Ketchi- kan this year. It is to be hoped that the business men and resi- dents of the. town will get busy and see that We have a celebra- ton worthy of the place. Cash and work are the two necessary elements entered into a cele- bration of this kind and with out them a failure is bound to insue. The proper committee appointed in the forth coming meeting will secure both. Il behoves everybody in Ketchi- kan to turn out and do their share.

NINE MILLION
 MOUTHS TO FEED

Fred Patching, superintend- ent of the big Fortmann Hatch cry above Loring, is a local wis itor having arrived about mid night. He reports that great success is being experienced in feeding nine million young salmon in the ponds at thu hatchery. The little fellow, were matched during the winter from last falls spawn, and in- stead of being turned into the stream to hustle for themselves and incidently be eaten up by the salmon trout they are be
 ing held in ponds or pools and fed. Fresh spring salmon ie their diet at present which, oi course, is caught in salt water and packed up to the hatchery This method is very expensive but the result obtained from same will compensate for it.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE

A. J. Fla at the Lighthouse office made the discovery this last week that it pays to adver- tise in the Miner. He had a little notice in the paper one day stating that the Columbine would take out magazines to the light stations to he west ward and asking Ketchikan people to donate their old read ing matter. The result of the ad so far exceeds all eXpecta- tions that the Columbine will either have to carry the magazines on deck or tow a scow loaded with them behind her. thus proving two things. the one that it pays to adver- tise in the Miner and the other that Ketchikan people are al- ways ready to contribute to a worthy cause.

erty in New Town between the Lighthouse Depot and the Millar property was discussed and the conclusion reached that no action could be taken in the matter by the council.
 Councilman Ryus, for the building committee reported that the committee had decid- ed to turn the building now oc- cupied as the library and coun- cil chambers at right angles to it's present position and turn same over to the library, then to bould a new building 2OX50 feet for a council room at a distance of eight feet from the other building and erect a plat form in front, which could be used es a grand stand. Bids have been called for, for the work, and same can be done in cluding shingling the old build ing, for about $i,000.
 The committee on boundary extensions reported progress and further time was given The regular monthly bills were then allowed and after author- ity was given Mayor Harris to call meeting for the purpose of providing for a Fourth of July celebration, the council adjourned.
