MEND SCOTT STREET

Middletown and this whole state and
county has no more worthy progressive
good citizen than Fred. Brady, Esq,
He is public spirited, generously aiding
in every movement to benefit his town,
county and state, and conducts, more
over in his "Middletown Farms" cream
cry and allied interests, a business that
gives employment to more people than
any other in our town. This by way of
merited appreciation and preamble. We
note the street fixing in various parts
of the town, ashes, etc., covering up
bad clayey spots. We had occasion re-
Gently to visit the creamery and won
dered why some of this street mending
had not been done on Scott street which
Mr. Brady's customers and his own We
hicles use constantly, but which is al
most quagmire at times. The cross
ing too, in front of the old Foundry
should get its share of the ''street-
sweepers" care, as it is almost impassi-
BILE for the ladies and others employed
at the creamery. We trust our Town
Board will see to it that Mr.. Brady gets
fair treatment.

Peach Buds Killed

MILFORD, DEL Feb % If reports
from prominent peach growers in the
vicinity of Milford are to be taken as
an indication as to the prospects for a
peach crop in this section this year, Mil
ford will be very poorly supplied with
that fruit. Persons who have examined
their trees state without reservation
that, in their opinion, the great, big
portion of the buds are killed"
AS a general rule it is hard matter
to get prominent peach grower to
make statement in which he is to be
quoted as to crop outlooks at this season
of the year, but this season the men
seem to be so much convinced that they
talk unreservedly when approached for
an opinion. In talk when ten promi-
nent peach growers, the correspondent
heard the same thing, it being to the
effect that there would be no PEACHES
this year of any amount.

 If this means anything, governor, it means that you had to steadfastly refuse the importunities of some das. tardly miscreant' or miscreants who asked you to order the militia to shoot down hungry men and helpless women and children in the Clifton-Morenci district. Is it fact, governor, that you were asked to do this horribly criminal thing? If so, why did you not cause the arrest and prosecution of the person or persons for attempt ing to induce you to commit murder, or great bodily harm on hungry men and helpless women and children POT, if the miscreant or miscreants could not be criminally punished ,the people have the right to ask you to expose the dastardly act by naming the mis- creant or miscreants, that the people may inf1ict upon him or them their eternal scorn and contempt. What are the actual facts, governor? Hav- ing intimated such an occurrence in your statement you owe it to yourself and to the people of the state to give all the facts in the case.''
 What Hunt Overlooked
 General Wilson's letter concludes as follows:
 Tn connection with the trouble in the Clifton-Morenci district, there is a matter to which you have not re- ferred in your statement, which is, however, of great importance to the good repute of your administration. Is it true, governor, that a large num- Der of law abiding, inoffensive men who resided in the Clifton-Morenci district with their families and them fully beaten and inhumanly abused and forcibly compelled to abandon their families, homes and property and flee from the Clifton-Morenci district and seek refuge in the neighboring town of Duncan, without employment, homeless refugees?

THE BIGGEST LITTLE MINE

Tho Shattuck mine of the Warren District eniors mcny rare distinctions and is different from any other mine in the State. Eo ciine in Arizona car display in their natural positions as many or as beautiful ore speci- mems as can the Shattuck. It is nearly a complete mineralogical col lection within one mine. These ores are not only found in commer- cial quantities, but in cabinet speci- mems and crystals of various sizes, shapes and hues.
 Copper in it's various forms of car bonates, oxides, and sulphides occu- pied the first attention, this being fol- lowed by some exceedingly rich ores of lead, some of them being in the rarer forms, and we have lately heard of vanadium being added to their commercial product. The sericite crystals that are found on the prop erty of the Shattuck are especially noticeable by their variety and are distinctly attractive where the white needles are attached to the brown and reddish base.
 But more and beautiful are the specimens found in the Shattuck cave. This wonderful cave is an
