This is not the only sign Of renew
al Of interest in mining In this neigh
borhood. A letter from parties living
at Edmonston, Alberta, interested in
the Ivanhoe mine. 1t Is leared that
work on large scale Is to be resumed
on that excellent property. in which
considerable ore Of excellent grade
has been encountered In driving a
prospecting tunnel. The Edmonston
people interested. or their represen-
tatives, are to take immediate charge
at the mine, or at least remain on the
ground 1t is reported that the next
move will be the extensive use of the
diamond drill. by which means the To-
cation of the ore bodies, their extent
and value can be ascertained.
Near at home. Fred Neal and his
associates are working steadily at the
10. X. mine, on Kruger mountain.
The returns from the hrst car load of
ore shipped to the smelter early In the
month was so much better than ex-
pected that the boys feel 20 encourag.
led that they are buckling In with re-
|newed vigor. Another car load OF ore
Is to 60 out to the smelter this week
and this ore is even Of higher grade
than the first shipment. SO we'll sat-
isfied are the operators that regular
shipments will be made through the
year.
Near the Dividend. Chas. Bjordson
is working a claim of his own. and
almost entirely by his individual labor
has driven In tunnel 100 feet. During
the past week he cut into ledge that
runs very high In copper. As Bjordson
lis doing the work alone progress Is
slow, and 1t will be some days befor,
he will know the full extent and nature
of his strike. B1ordson has been sus-
tanned in his long, protracted and se-
we're labor by an absolute faith that he
would reach pay ore, an obsession
that he could not be joshed or laugh
ed out of, and judging from the sam.
pie seen the ore must be tar better
than the ore he could have dreamed
of. This discovery will be great en-
couragement to number OF claim
holders in the immediate vicinity.
In the same neighborhood Silas
Fritz renewed work this week ON the
Golden Chariot, a property upon which
excellent ore has been discovered In
the process Of development. and from
which considerable ore has been ship
ped In past years. The Golden Chariot
Is one Of number Of very promising
claims within a zone of . few miles
on both sides Of the international
line.
Jas. Stack who owns one Of the most
mertorious mining properties In the
neighborhood of Nighthawk, was in
town Saturday Mr.. Stack has investors
on the string figuring ON taking over
these claims and doing very extensive
under ground work. They have exam
ined the ledge, had the ore thoroughly
tested and are perfectly satisfied with
the result. This mine is within q short
distance of the railroad. and ore can
be shipped to a smelter at minimum
cost of handling,

Marshal E. ]. Wilson of this place
went to Okanogan last week and quail
fed as constable, an office to which he
was elected in November. He did not
intend to qualify after being appointed

ruling of the powers that be at Olym-
pia when papers are served in civil
cases by deputy sheriff that official
though living in the town where such
service is rendered, is compelled to
charge mileage from Okanogan. the
county seat. Such a ruling very often
makes the costs in suits to recover ac-
counts greater than the amount sued
for, and in order that he could serve
Ipapers at a minimum cost Mr.. Wilson
decided to qualify for constable.

New York, Sept. 27.-The cotton market was somewhat less active to- day and at times sentiment seemed more reactionary, but selling was re- stricted by unfavorable weather news and there was sharp rallies in the late trading, with the close steady at net advance of 22 to 39 points.

 The market opened at an advance of 13 to 33 points, and after some lit tie irregularity turned firm on the progress of the tropical storm toward the middle gulf coast, the cold rains reported in the Southwest, continued reports of firm spot basis and rum ors of bullish private condition fig ures. December sold up to 2392c and March to 23.89c, or about 32 to Az points above last nights closing fig ures, but at this level demand tapered off and there were sharp reactions dur ing the early afternoon.
 The talked-of crop report when is- sued. made the condition 62.5, against 67 last month The indicated deter ioration of only AS per cent, being less than expected, while the tendency to take profits or sell for reaction was promoted by reports that the storm approaching the gulf coast was of only moderate intensity and there were also some who thought that it's course might be deAected by the high barometer reported over the Western part of the country. After a break of 23.60c for December the market steadied up on reports of heavy rains at New Orleans, closing at net ad- vances of p to B points on the active positions.

CURRENT COMMENT
Ex-Goy. Gates Was Ioking.

The Rutland News expressed the hope
the other day that ex-Gov. Charles w
Gates in advising the member of a
country club to pillow up the golf course
and make of it productive farm plot
did so in a jocose spirit. And so it
turns out. There being so much land
available for planting outside of plow-
ing up extensively constructed lawns
and athletic fields the advice of Mr..
Gates, as quoted, did not align with
the gentleman's well known bent toward
common sense and practically. The
News, therefore, is glad to emphasize
the fact that the ex-governor plainly
labelled the advice as a joke, but this
explanation unfortunately didn't get
into the published report of his speech
All of the newspapers of Vermont, be
it said, are anxious not to miseonstrue
or misrepresent public utterances of men
This anxiety is not only based on the
desire to be fair but also on the fact
that newspapers want their products,
news and editorial, to be truthful and
as represented just as merchants and
manufacturers in other lines know that
their success depends on the reliability
of their products News.

WORK FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL BOYS

WORK FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
There ought not to be single idle
high school boy in Vermont during the
coming summer. Every boy of suitable
age should be put to work "doing his
bit" in some capacity or other, The
greatest need OF labor is on the farms
of Vermont, which have been stripped
of their male help by the gilded allure
ments of employment in the munitions
factories and other fields of activity
where war products are being turned
out. A large number of men from the
their steps toward the industrial centers,
with the result that farm help is very
scarce at the outset of that which prom
ises to be the most busy season the
farmers ever have known. To make
good the loss thus caused, the high school
boys of the state should become volun-
teers in the work of helping the farmers.
The pay which farm labor commands is
fairly lucrative; the most nutritious OF
food is served; the labor itself is most
healthful; and, above all, every stroke
of farm work is help toward fighting
the nations battles against Germany.
High school boys who wish to do some
thing for the defense of the nation have
the opportunity right at hand, Boys, do
your bit in that way.

AN ARMY ON PAPER.

A haze of doubt is thrown about that
army of 10000 men which Roosevelt is
said to have ready for service with the
allies in France by the announcement
that zone of the smaller colleges, Mid
dlebury, Vt, whose most distinguished
alumnus was George Dewey, is prepared
to send a company" OF course, the
statements are mixed, as all Vermonters
know Admiral George Dewey's college
is not located at Middlebury, but it is
at Northfeld- Norwich university; nor,
so far as we have heard is there com
pany of Norwich university men picked
for the Roosevelt army, although such a
company might have been guaranteed
from among the alumni of the institu-
ton. However that may be, the mac
curacy of the newspaper report in regard
to these smaller details of the Roosevelt
army is calculated to stir up cloud of
doubt about the other parts of that army
which is now accounted as large as the
regular army ofthe United States.
We have no desire to throw cold water
on the patriotic move of ex-President
Roosevelt, than whom there is none more
loyal to the flag, but we do feel that the
proposal now before Congress to permit
Roosevelt to send an army to France
ought to have something more concrete
than promises of enlistment.
