LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
His Plan of Campaign.

Editor, Times As stated in last night
Times, the Salvation Army of Barre has
plan whereby a great deal of relief
work can be done and great deal of ex-
pense saved the city if the people in gem
eral will take a hold of it.
We have worked it well in many other
cities which anyone is allowed to investi-
gate and see for themselves in our diff
ferent industrial institutions in this state
and all our neighboring states.
The plan is here: We 90 from house
to house and Office to office and stores
and solicit and collect all waste paper,
news paper and magazines, old clothing,
furniture shoes, and, in fact, everything
imaginable, and we bring in the poorer
element and let them sort and bale the
paper and rags, mend the furniture. and
do what repairing to different articles
there is to do. We take and ship the
paper to the paper mills and sell yhat
clothing there is left after the needs of
those we are caring for are supplied, and
we take the money that we get for the
paper and goods and supply these poorer
classes with food and clothing and in
most cases lodgings as we'll. With this
plan it does not make the people shiftless
and lazy and make them think all they
have to do is to call upon the city for
help and get it without clip of work,
but it puts them in a place of independ
ence and honor, as they pay for what
they get. They can come out of the in
~titution and snap their fingers at those
that point them out and say the city is
supporting them
Now am expecting to start this work
agoing in week or so and | sincerely
hope the general public will take hold
OF this plan and clean out their garrets |
or atties and give us chance to put |
this work on a good footing.
OF course, this will not mature in
night or month or much less than
year, but if the people in general will !
take a hold of it, / am sure that in
years time we can make quite a showing
in the city of Barre. If anyone feels /
like criticizing this plan. fire away and |
let me know what you think of it.

Large Concentrating
Mill will Be Built

The Colorado Central Mining
company, which is prosecuting one
of the best directed campaigns of
development in the entire district
on the old Colorado Central and
Equator veins, are ready to begin
the construction of the latest
and best equipped concentrating
mills to be found in the state.
Flotation units are to play an i'm
portant part in the saving of the
different metals. One thousand
tons of mill dirt is to be handled
daily, and the saving is expected
to add very materially to the out
put of upper Clear Greek.
Numerous expert tests have
been made of the dump by some
of the most prominent engineers
in Denver, and the lowest estimate
places the available material at
10000 tons, of an average value
of $40 per ton, while the various
slopes show 10000 tons averaging
from five to thirty ounces in silver
and two to three percent lead.
There are also number of streaks
of solid ore ready to be broken.
This ore could be shipped as
broken to the local sampler and
made to pay, but it is so impreg-
mated with lead and zinc that
treatment will be Necessary to
separate and save the different
metals.
