MATERIAL ORDERED FOR

Mstefial shas been ordered and piacaF
ttcally all the equipment for the new
plant to treat the dumps owned by the
Prince Consolidated at Bullionvills,
Nevada According to general Manager
Murray C. Godbe the plant should be
finished by July Relative to the
work on the plant Mr. Godbe SAYS:
HDuring the year many tests have
been made to determine the best pro-
cess for the treatment Of this material
which consists of 120. .15S measured tons
in the two pits, Che average assay be-
ing ITO ounces gold, 10,6 ounces silver
and 6.7 per cent lead. The best results
having been obtained in a preliminary
way by means of oil flotation, a COM
pete test plant was installed at the
mine by c. F. Sherwood. metallurgical
engineer. and series Of tests made,
employing that process The results
We're highly satisfactory. An average
sample was then taken to Salt Lake
and check tested by the general en-
sineering company of that place.
l. c. F. Sherwood who has had charge
of the experimental work, has made a

Bed Apples ard Green HIS

From the office of the secretary Of
state of Vermont is sent broadcast an
enticing little volume dressed in blue
and buff bearing the caption Vermont
Farms" The text and pictures are
redolent of the atmosphere OF the
Green Mountain state with ITS noun
tains and meadow lands and water
brooks, its kline and orchards and MUIR
murous fields of clover; and it looks
like a sort of advertising that is sure
to bring returns. One long in city
pent," especially at this season of the
year looks on this picture and on that
of elm-shaded farmsteads, of buxom
bossies prodigal of milk, of stalwart
Morgan horses, of sap-gathering in
snowy woods, of apple trees abloom
of championship potatoes and corn and
string beans-and he does not wonder
at the loyalty of thrifty, sturdy popu-
lation to their heritage in spite of the
cityward trend and the farm abandon
ed.
This literature is sent out to disabuse
the public of the idea that Vermont is
a bleak, sub-Artic region where scan
ty living is wrested from a reluctant
soil in fierce, short summertime The
average farm in the United States
measures 1873 acres. The average Yer
mont farm holds 143 acres. This is
much above Ohios SO. lndianas SO
Michigan's 80 acres. Vermont is rich
in marble, in timber, in cattle, in apples
and other fruit, in dairy products of all
kinds. Fern gathering for florists is
becoming a considerable business, and
in a recent year Vermont produced
nearly twice as many butternuts, hick.
orynuts and beechnuts as all the other
New England states combined
John G. SAKE was right when he
wrote that Vermont was celebrated
for these four products.
Men, women, maple sugar and
horses;
The first are strong, the latter fleet
The second and third exceedingly
sweet,
And all are uncomonly hard to beat.
But the poet might have extended
the list considerably. The apples hold
their own with those produced in Ches-

Horace f. Graham, in his address in
st. Johnsbury Friday night, stated if
elected governor-a superhuous state
ment at the start-he would give his
first attention to state expenses. In
the IA years that he has been auditing
state accounts the expenses of the state
have increased in round figures from
$l,OOO,000 to $2,5OO,OOO. He believes
the 90 state boards and commissions
could be cut in two without impairing
efficiency. Mr.. Graham has an opportu-
nifty to do great work as governor
to make a name for himself that will
80 resounding down the ages in his own
state. If he can get the legislature to
cooperate with his recommendation he
ought to be able to get more and better
work out of our state departments than
heretofore and at greatly reduced
cost. Mr.. Graham knows the ms and

Brights disease and organic heart trou-
BILE in New York and other large cities of
wealth have reached alarming proportions.
These are aristocratic ailments coming from
rich feeding, late hours and indulgence in
liquors. In New York the deaths from
these troubles We're in 1871, at the rate of
l16S persons in every 1000 of population;
in 1888 the rate had increased to 2l.9l. in
1918 it was 36.l9. Here, in cold figures of
death and disease, the Rutland News
points out, is the lesson which tells US,
who, though poor, love life and health.
that riches are not an unmitigated blessing.
OF course, we all think that if we were
rich we would be more sensible than those
who are now wealthy, but this cannot be
proved, for prosperity is a much harder
test of character than is adversely, and is
warranted to show up the dross in the
saintlest. The universay cry and desire
and plant of the age is for riches. Lets
stop minute and realize that riches could
mean but a slight variation from the pro-

The French at Verdun.
Manchester. Y. Il. Tnio1

Manchester, n. H., Union.)
The varying fortunes of war are
again illustrated in recent events at
Nerdun, where the French have re-
taken in three hours territory which
required months of persistent effort on
the part of the Germans to capture
and important parts of which have
been won and lost repeatedly since the
beginning of the struggle in that thea
ter of the war. The obstinacv of the
conflict III the Verdun region testifes
TO the vital consequence which both
sides attach to that position. The
surprise of the Germans at the viDor
OF the French attack appears to have
been reflected among the French
themselves, at the comparative ease of
their victory. The present possessors
OF the regained territory will not be
permitted to hold it without strenu-
Gus contest, however, as is already
evident from the Immediate return of
the Germans to dispute its tenure.
The reported junction of Italian cav
airy from southern Albania with cav
airy and artillery from the entente
front IN Macedonia, giving the entente
an unbroken front of go miles across
the southern Balkan peninsula, is a
matter of no small import, and NAV
be productive of big results; but in the
meantime the chief center of interest
IS Nerdun, where, more than anywhere
else, the grim determination which
charaeterizes this bloody war is con
splcuously exemplifed.
