Spencer Trask memorial fountain.

according to the Evening Post. 10 h
long distance talker OF the Constitu-
tional Convention, had convinced the
then Gov. Hughes that most Of the
failing springs in Saratoga could w re-
covered for the healing Of the nations.
Gov. Hughes sent a special message to
the Legislature recommending that the
Saratoga springs be turned into a
State reservation and a commission
appointed to acquire the necessary
property and develop the springs. The
Legislature did what It was asked to
do and Gov. Hughes appointed as the
first Saratoga State Reservation Com
mission Spencer Trask and Gen. Ben
jamin r. Tracy Of New York and
Frank NJ. Godfrey Of Olean. Mr..
Trask was a banker. who had long
been a summer resident Of Saratoga,
Gen. Tracy a great lawyer and Mr..
Godfrey a hard headed farmer who
when the idea was proposed to the
Legislature was enthusiastically OPP
posed to the expenditure Of State
money for any such purpose. When
the act was passed and signed Gov.
Hughes sen for Farmer Godfrey and
said:
"Mr. Godfrey. I'm going to ask you
to take an appointment on the Sara
toga Reservation Commission. You
are heartily opposed to the whole
scheme. You are a farmer and know
land values, Land will have to he ac-
quired w there. I want to sec that
the State gets its moneys worth and.
II you conclude hat the game Is not
worth the candle, you ONE and tell mo
and. II you show me that I have been
wrong. I'll tell Tho people 10 and rec
Commend the stopping Of further appro-
priations."
Commissioner Godfrey IL now one Of
the most enthusiastic advocates Of the
Saratoga cure"
The first commission worked like
Trojans and accomplished Wonderful
results. Right about hero \ should be
stated that the work Of tho Saratoga
Reservation Commissioners Is a labor

MUCH ACTIVITY IN ANT|M0Ny
 IS EXPECTED
SEVERAL OUTFITS WILL. SHIP ANTiMONY ORE OUT
 NEXT SPRING

That there will he considera ble activity in antimony mining circles next spring is being evidenced D. the fact that at least two sooa sized outfits are now getting cut ore for shipment, while one mUre, that which operates on large: start work within the next two months. or about March 1. It is therefore probable that the frs; boats leaving Fairbanks in the sp,rIg will take out between 1.5Ho anu 2000 tons of antimony ore.
 It is stated that Tom Lloyd ard the members of the HargraTcs en- ginecring concern, of New iork. who are now in the Kantishna com try, will have about 800 tons of orc ready for shipment at the opening of navigation. The scene of tE"lr operations is near the head of rh, Kantishna river and they have 7, miles of portaglng to do before they can put their ore in ooat'. It will then be brought down ,he kantishna and loaded on tho big river steamers which ply the 1arana.
 Another outfit which will have considerable quantity of ore ready for shipment in the spring is Jac. Leach & Co.,, operating on al anti mony ledge at the head of Eva cr.,5k It is understood that they also will have about 800 tons ready for ship, ment at the opening of navigation It is probable that their ore w,il be hauled over the hill from Ester city to Chena
 It is also expected that the anti, mony producing property or Trea sure creek worked with such success last summer by Si Scrafford, wi;l be working again during the coming spring and summer, Mir. scrafford having asserted before re startca Outside this fall that he expected to resume operations about Marcl, 1 Mir. Scrafford Is already in Ala ska and Is expected back ln Fai.,anh |,
 l'n0St any time now. It is stated that he IS bringing in contrivancC with which to smelt the ore here to some extent to lessen the expense of shipping it to the Outside.
 Anthony values vary in accord ance with the percentage of pure antimony in ton of ore. Most Of the ore so far shipped from the in- terior goes better than 60 pe~ cent In fact, it is stated that the O. from Eva creek will go 6S Der cent and that from the Kantishna a5 bigL as 72 per cent. Shippers last slm- mer realized from $40 to s15l DO ton for ore shipped to the Out side
 The Northern Commer|i ial 70 IS advancing s20 per ton 10 shinre,'s of antimony after their ore $ on the dock ready for shipment. It is thought that the antimony miners wi take advantage of this offer as it is of material assistance to lhall in their operations.
