MISS CALPHURNIA WAITE.
Was for Six Years Oldest Woman in
Town-Age Was 90.

Miss Calphurnia Submit Waite. whose
death occurred at her home in this place
Oct. 81, at the age of 90 years, seven
months, six days, had been for six
years the oldest woman in town. She
was born March %, 1928, in the north
ern part of Stratton, and was the old
est of six children of Luther and Ase-
nath Scott Waite.
She attended a public school in her
native town and Leland and Gray sem
mary in Townshend. At the age of Is
she moved with the family to the Sew
enth Day neighborhood in Jamaica. In
June, 1855, her father died, and in the
following year she with the remaining
members of the family moved to Wards
boro to the place known as the Clark
Harris farm. Thence, in 1859 they
moved to a farm in the Carter district
near the Jamaica line, where they lived
that the mother died at the age of 90
years, and here they were living when
the buildings and nearly all their prop
erty were destroyed by fire.
Miss Waite. with her sister, Lucina,
and brother, William, lived for short
time following the fire in the Moses
Smith house, after which she bought the
Smead place, where she spent the rest
of her life, and where the sister died
about rs years ago.
In the days of her youth she taught
school in several districts in Jamaica
and in Winhan. She also worked in
the wooden mills in Hinsdale, n. H,
and Putney. The i'll health of her
mother and of the only sister at home
compelled her to retire from public &C.
tivity, and to minister to the needs OF
her family to which she was most
faithful. This she did alone until
about five years ago, when Mr. and
Mrs. Sherman Waite came to care fol
her and her brother in their declining
years.
Miss Waite was for many years 6
member of the Methodist church II
Wardsboro. She was a Bible student
and a very Industrious woman, even t.
the time Of breaking her hip It few
weeks ago insisting on caring for hel
brothers room.

DEXTER WHITE CAPS
MAY BE REORGANIZFD

A very important meeting is III
progress this afternoon in the office
of H. II. Brown. 1t is a called
meeting of the shareholders of tho
Dexter White Caps Mining company
Of Manhattan. A big percentage of
the stock is represented.
! The purpose of the meeting is to
reOrganize the corporation. This is
planned to be done by ending the
corporate existence of the present
company and Incorporating with
a heavier capitalization and ex-
changing stock in the new for that of
the old, which will leave a consid-
cradle amount of stock in the treas
ury to be sold to liquidate the in
debtedness of the old company.
which is $4,000 or 100000 and also
to provide a fund wherewith the
property of the company may be de-
veloped. 1t is not determined yet
whether or not the stock of the new
company will be assessable. AS this
meeting was called for a specific p IL
pose it is not probable that either
of the propositions that have already
heen made for the taking over OF
the estate by a parent company viii
be cOnsidered.-BOnanZa.

SMITH TO LEAVE
MERGER BOARD
OTHER CHANGES TO BE MADE IN
OFFICIAL PERSONNEL OF
COMPANY

According to advices from Reno
the organization of the board of di-
rectors of the Goldfeld Merger Mines
company, said to nave been provided
for in the tentative agreement for
the settlement of the internal con-
troversy decided upon at the recent
conference of the factions in San
Francisco, will include the resigna-
ton of Claude NJ. Smith az a men,
Der of the board and the election as
his successor of Edgar Ames of Sc
attic, son of Mrs. Lucy V. S. Ames
of st. Louis, Mo-, who instituted the
r~eceivership proceedings. Other
changes in the board, it is reported,
will also be made.
In the minds of many local mining
men, the terms of the tentative
for the settlement of the
internal trouble in the Merger pre-
clude the possibility of a suit being
instituted by that company against
the Jumbo Extension company for
the recovery of the Velvet claim.

VOLCANO LEASE in ORE

The first lease south of the origi-
nal strike at Volcano cut the vein
last evening. This block is owner
by Messrs. Frevert. Eastman ard
Fredericks. A shaft has been sunk
to q depth of 80 feet and from this
point a crosscut was run. When
only five feet from the shaft the
hanging wall was pierced and true
vein formation was encountered. No
assays have yet been made, but the
quartz pans freely. 1t is estimated
that the values are about so per
cent gold and 20 per cent silver. II
the ledge maintains it's dip it will
doubtless be cut by the shaft at a
little greater depth, when it may be
drifted on and stopped. The full
width of the vein had not been as
certained when word was sent to
TOnopah. Mr.. Fievert left for camp
this morning.-BonanZa.

Given Heavy Sentence

A.. A. France. who was arrested
in Reno recently while living in an
apartment with Mrs. r. c. Duncan.
wife of a business man of Apavia. III.
and booked on a charge of lewdness,
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to
serve a term of eight months in the
county jail and pay a fine of $500.
Mr.. Duncan, who preferred the
charge against both France and his
wife, later dismissed the count
against his wife and she was al
lowed to go free. After serving his
eight months in jail it is possible
that the federal authorities will hold
him on a charge of white slavery
as he transported the woman across
the country contrary to the Mann
act.

teries with pictures for prizes, 10
per cen OF the proceeds going to the
artist, 10 per cent to the relief of
workers in the industrial arts, and
the remainder to the royal national
relief fund for the assistance of war
sufferers.
While the artists are thus united
to care for their brother craftsmen,
the dealers in pictures are without
relief. One Hague dealer specialize
ing in e~ngravings and etchings told
the Associated Press that he had
not sold an etching for eight months.
Prices are cut in half, but to no avail.
There is less sympathy for dealers,
however, as it is felt that theirs is
purely a commercial risk which they
must stand together with the many
other businesses injured by the war.

STALL BROTHERS ARE
PUSHING MASONIC WORK

MASONIC, Calf, May 25.-Th'
Stall brothers, who have a bond on
the Pittsburgh Liberty and are the
owners of the Golden Serita. have a
big force of men at work on their
holding and are also rushing the re-
building of the Pittsburgh Liberty
mill and hope to have the mill in
running order by the first of July.
A tramway is to be built to the Sc
rita from the mill and ore will be
Skinned by that means Motor
trucks will probably be installed to
haul ore from the Pittsburgh Liber-
ty. A crew of men has been placed
at work in the lower level AID main
tunnel of the Pittsburgh Liberty and
this tunnel is to be forced into the
hill with all speed. 1t is claimed
that several punches of good milling
ore have already been tapped in the
Pittsburgh and that as soon as the
mill is ready the ore will be extract
ed. The Serita is known to contain
h large amount of high grade ore,
but owing to the reluctance Of the
owners to discuss their business, lit
tie is known of its real magnitude.
1t was claimed months ago when h
development of the Serita was under
way that the ledge tapped had e>-
posed picture ore and it is known
that many streaks of ore of $1,000
value have been tapped.
