REPORT THAT SPALDING
 HAS BEEN REPLACED

Neither confirmation nor denial can be obtained of the report that A. s. Spalding, who has been internal reve- nue agent here in charge of the district of Connecticut and a part of New York state for the past year has been superseded in his duties in this dis trict by Thomas J. Taylor, who has been in charge of the Pittsburgh dis trict on similar work, says the New Haven Journal Courier. No reason is given for the change, if there be such change, but it is probably in accord ance with the department policy of making periodical changes among these officers so that they should not be- come too well known in their locali- ties. MT. Taylor had previously been engaged in revenue work on the Mex ican border.
 Inquiries at Mr. Spalding's home in this city on Tuesday resulted in a statement from the family that they knew nothing of the reported change as MT. Spalding had not written home about it.

 It may be backaches, headaches, the tortures of a displacement, or some ail- ment peculiar to her sex which makes life a burden. Every woman in this condition should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkhams s Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, to restore her to health and happiness.

sltion for the residents of the Mystic Fifth school district is that of the spe- cial meeting that has been called by the committee for Tuesday evening, for the purpose of resembling the ten mill tax and oting of one of six mills.
 Many are the arguments in favor of the lower tax but when boiled down the plea is that it will be hard on some of the property holders who are fin ancially embarrassed when it comes to meeting the present taxes, and also there are some who are in favor of leaving some of the $40, GOO debt for tas coming generation to pay.

Ida May Mine
Very Active

Arthur Murphy. leasing at the Ida
May Mine, reports good progress in the
of the new equipment and
1t Is expected that the mine will short
ly be shipping again.
The ore occurs along the intersec-
tion of fissures in limestone and makes
back from these fissures into the lime
beds. The lower ore bodies at present
being mined below the tunnel level are
similar in metal content and grade to
the bodies shipped from the upper
levels of the mine. The ere shoot Is
being followed by an incline winze
sunk from the old tunnel level. This
winze has now reached a depth of over
200 feet and good ore still exists in the
bottom.
With the new equipment now install
ed the development of the mine sa'
depth Is assured In the near future.
The lake Valley Mining company Il
engaged in hauling their second car o
high grade silver ore from their prop
erty near Geyser.
The first car shipped on which the!
received settlement last week carried
high value In silver and their secon'
car should go even better.
The heavy snow and cold weathe
naturally is impeding the hauling
but with better road conditions pro
duction will be increased.

Silver is quiet at high price.
Lead Is advancing daily in price.
almost without interruption the quo
tations continue to climb. Supplies of
lead have now become very scarce. the
situation is acute and the prospects are
that the market will go still higher.
Copper is advancing and there Is a
growing demand FROM Germany which
should further increase the price.
Zinc Is firm at an advance price and

Tin Mines Are Being Developed

An important development is under
way In the tin zone on the Mayuba
Silver. Tin 4 Copper Mines Company
at Majuba Hill. twenty miles west of
Inlay. and 1t is being watched with
interest by prominent mining men who
are familiar with lode mining. Work
was recently resumed In this portion
of the Majuba property and almost at
once big improvement in the grade of
ore was noted.
Though stock In the Majuba COM
pany Is closely held and has never
been offered to the public. the mana
cement Is not averse to legitimate
publicity. but they deem it wise to
to Withhold any assay returns Of late
until further development discloses
how extensive the high grade ore body
proves to be. 1t Is violating no con-
fidence, however to say that the face
Of one drift shows five feet Of ore with
very satisfactory" values.
Since before the birth Of Christ the
mines Of Cornwall. England have fur
nished a big proportion Of the worlds
tin. and one who is familiar with them
made an examination Of the Majubs
mine last week. He stated that hi
