Higher Cost of Meat.
(Bostcn Record.

j. Ogden Armour again sounds the
note of higher cost of meat. Why's
These are the figures, according to Mr..
Armour:
Jan. i, 1907, the United States had
51,0oo,oQo. head of cattle, valued at
1881, $780, 900, but. on Jan. /, 1914, we
had 3S,5Oo,0o0 head of cattle, valued at
$1,216,000, 00o. This shows a decrease
of l2,500,000 head and an increase in
value of $335,O00,OO0.
That is tough fact, and the conse-
queuces arc logical enough. What are
VIC going tcl do about it:

The OfficiouS Lawyers.
bennington Banncr.)

The Banner is inclined to believe
that the horde of lawyers around
Montpelier the past week lobbying
earnestly to discredit Ex-Governor
Fletcher rather overdid their part. Even
some of those who don t like Fletcher
rather resented the officious ubiquity of
the. legal profession-not all of them,
but enough to make it noticeable. If a
bunch Of lawyers propose to control the
state government, regardless of the
wishes of the people, they should so
about it little more tactfully.

The new legislature has started III
its duties with the, customary degree. of
enthusiasm and patriotism. Like all
our Vermont legislatures it is made up
in the main of honest men with the best

course it will do some good things and
some bad ones and the bad ones will be
talked about so much more than the
good that the public viii forget there is
anything but evil connected with the
whole business.

CRITTENDEN HOME
COLLECTOR 4 FAKE

The Florence Crittenden Mission of
Reno has issued warning To the pub
lie not to donate money to anyone for
the home, as the home has never auth
orized anyone to collect money. The
warning says For some years an
elderly woman who in many respects
seems to be a crank has been going
from town to town collecting money
from eharitably disposed people for
various purposes. She has collected
several hundred dollars In the past
but what she has done with it we do
not know"
This elderly lady has visited
Gardnerville about twice a year for
several years past soliciting funds for
the Crittendon Home and usually left
here with tidy sum. Ii is cases of
this kind that make it hard for those
who do solicit aid and should meet
with the support of those who can af-
ford to contribute to the relief of
worthy institutions such as the Crit
tenden Home.

STOCKHOLDERS,
HOLD MEETING

A very important meeting of the
creditors and stockholders of the
Pine Nut Consolidated Mining COM
rany, was held in Gardnerville Sat-
urday, at which about 80 per cent of
the creditors and so per cent of the
stock was represented. A resolution
was unanimously adopted authorizing
the directors of the company to issue
lredeemable treasury stock at 10 cents
per share, the price that the stock
holders have all paid. This stock is
to bear per cent per annnm and is
|redeemable when the property is sold
or is successfully operated. The NOR
tgage is to remain of record to protect
creditors until all debts are settled
by the agreement, when the trustees
ARE authorized to release the mort
agee, thus clearing the property of all
encltmberances, which will be speed
ily done. BY this reasonable act the
property is saved to the stockholders
and the creditors have shown their
appreciation of Mr.. Emigh's regigniny
from the mustry to make good" to
|creditors and stockholders.
There is fair prospects for the diff
|culties in treating these great bodies
of ore at the Pine Nut company's
property which are apparently free
ores, by the oil fioatation process. II
is proposed to install small working
unit to the already well equipped
milling plant, and if possible, put the
mine upon a paying basis. At the
100 feet deeper to get into perma-
nent ore bodies. These ores while
panning, have been difficult to treat
by reason of the free mercury, as well
as mineral oil in the ore. and as there
is much chloride in the ore also. and
is difficult to assay unless a slow
much of the values are carried away
in fume. Although panning freely,
some assays show but small values
while some six hundred assays made,
show from three to nine dollars per
ton in gold. with a small amount of
silver
le these bodies of low grade ore can
be milled. Pine Nut will show up a
great mine as the lodges are large,
several of them ten to twenty-four
feet in width and all carrying values.
1t is understood that the management
is determined to keep the property
free from debt while under the pres
ent control. The miners who have
worked in the mine have confidence
in the property as many of them in
vested in the stock. The property is
fairly well developed and equipped
with a i0-ton milling plant.
