In Memory of Thomas R. McRobie.

We have lost our darling father
He has bid US all adieu
He has gone to live in Heaven
And his form is lost to view.
Oh! that dear one; how we loved him,
Oh how hard to give him up, -f &
But an angel came and took him
And removed him from our flock.

Slaughter Neck, near Milford. Mr..
Reed believes the fire originated from
men smoking in the wood who drop
ped a lighted match in the under
brush Carried by a strong wind the
flames spread in the direction of the
residence and farm buildings of Harry
Cleaver The Milford Fire Company
was summoned and with help from
the surrounding country managed to
check the fire before it reached the
Cleaver property. A back-fre was
started between the Reed Woodland

fore the forest fire reached the spot
to check the blaze The woodland de-
stroyed was valuable for furnishing

CHESAPEAKE BAY SPAN ISSUE
Bridge Company Claims Construction
viii Start Upon Approval of Plans

Will Start Upon Approval of Plans
The status of the proposed Chesa-
peake Bay bridge seems to be quite
mystery During the latter part of
1927 the general impression prevails
that construction work would begin in
a short time. Since then nearly every
one has predicted that the project was
dead, and Commissioner Mackall in an
address before the Chestertown Ro-
tary Club gave a most discouraging
report about the bridge. But bridge
headquarters are now sending out
most optimistic reports stating that
the bridge wilt be built But the
greater majority of the people in
Queen Anne's and Kent counties en-
tertain grave doubt about the bridge
ever being built. Most recent reports
from bridge headquarters state that
the specifications which are now be-
fore the Board of Army Engineers as
presented by Major Pettis, are the
same as agreed upon at the last Ches-
apeake Bay Bridge hearing, and if
approved by the above board will as
sure construction of the bridge The
bridge company states that they are
in constant touch with the Army En-
gineers and that they have been as
sured that the Board will take up the
matter as soon as possible. Reports
from other sources which includes
men financially interested in the
bridge state that the bridge is going
to be built.

The Northern Light main tun- 1el is now in close to 100 feet, according to late reports from that property. The tunnel, on which work was resumed re- gently, is being extended in the direction of the Sebakwe prop erty, which adjoins the North ern Light on the east, follow ing the larger of the several ore zones traversing the property in a northeasterly di- rection.
 According to reliable inform ation, the values so far en- countered in the underground workings, while not high, are encouraging in every way.
 The company has constructed good camp quarters for the crew and expects to keep on the job throughout the winter.

GEORGE COPPER
 OPTION EXERCISED

Late reports from Vancouver bring the interesting news that the Consolidated Mining & Smelling Company has taken up its option on the George Copper property in the upper Bear River section.
 As result of the deal the Consolidated now owns the controlling interest in the prop erty and also holds an option on a large amount of addition al stock of the George Copper company, which formerly con- trolled the property.
 As the option was not due to expire until next summer, the action of the company in talk ing up the bond almost year in advance of the the stipulat- ed time indicates that the re- suits of development during the past two years have been more satisfactory than was generally believed. The action may also be considered indic- ative of an intention on the part of the company to pro- ceed with the opening up of the property much sooner than apeared probable earlier in the year. This prospect is rendered still more pronounced by re- ports received in Stewart to the effect that the Consolidat- company has requested the Provincial government road bureau to complete as far as possible this season, the pro- jected extension of the Bear River wagon road to the vicinity of the George property.

SNOW STOPS MARMOT
 TRAM CONSTRUCTION

After weeks of strenuous battling against the ever in- creasing difficulties created by winter weather conditions, the Premier Gold Mining Company has been forced to suspend construction activities on the new tram system between the Porter-Idaho mine and the big camp constructed at the mouth If Marmot River during the past S. asOn.
 With seven or more feet of snow on the ground in the vi- cinity of the Porter-Idaho and withs cold and biting winds adding still further to the hard ships endured by the valiant construction crews working amidst the clouds far up on the steep mountainside, work on the tramway was definitely suspended this week and will probably not be resumed be- fore next April.
 According to members of the construction crew coming to town during the week, the erection of the steel tram tow CTS above Green Point was ac- complished some days ago and good progress was being made on the installation of the cables vixen the weather became to bad to continue. Estimates made by the men indicate that the tram could hardly have been fully completed in less than five or six weeks.

During the past two years there has been a decrease of approximately 37 per cent in the number of insane persons sent from Alaska to the sani- tarium at Morningside, Port land, Ore, where such un- fortunates are cared for, ac- cording to official statistics prepared at the governors off, flee.
 In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1926, there were 55 commitments to the sanitari- um from Alaska. During the past fiscal year which ended June 30, last, there were but 34. Virtually all of the de- crease was accounted for in the first and third divisions, it was said.
 Health inspections made by public health authorities in the states, and greater care taken by salmon packers in the cali Der of labor employed by them in the south are believed by Gov. George A. Parks to be the main factors in the inn provement shown.

HOOVER ELECTED IN GREAT REPUBLICAN,
 VICTORY

In the greatest outpouring of votes in the history of the Unit. ed States, Herbert Hoover, Re publican candidate for the presidency, defeated his Demo. cratic opponent Alfred E, Smith, in the national elections last Tuesday.
 According to press reports ar irving by the last steamers, the election was a veritable land slide for the Democrats. Not only did they fail to make ex- pected gains in various sect ions of the country but actual ly lost many states which for generations have been looked upon ss Democratic. Even the so-called Solid South" failed tu live to live up to it's proverb- 'al reputation, as only Ala bama, Arkansas, Georgia, Lou isiana, Mississippi and South Carolina were conceded to have gone Democratic at the time of the reports. These states, w.th Massachusetts and Rhode Island, represented the Jum total of those who went for Smith, who not only fail ,d to come anywhere near ex- oectations but actually lost his own state of New York.
 Roosevelt for governor and Copeland for U. s. Senator ran ahead of Smith in New York.
 Incomplete returns up to Thursday indicated that Smith would have but 87 votes in the electoral college, as against l44 for Hoover. The victory Ilso included important gains tor the Republicans in both he Senate and House of Rep 'esentatives, six former Demo- cratic seats having been won oy Republicans in Kentucky done. The Republican vote is ;aid to have been the largest n history, exceeding by a arge number the 15,725,OOO oiled up by Coolidge in 1924. The elector vote also promises break all records by exceed ng the total of 435 given to Wilson in 1912.

WORK ON R. R. TO BE

The work of rehabilitating tho old Stewart short line rail- way will be renewed as early as practicable next year, ac- cording to Hon. H. H. Stevens, M. F., who with w. A. Lewth- waite. organized and financed the project for placing the road in condition for active service.
 After spending a week in the district inspecting work done during the past season and ex- aminine various problems con- nected with the undertaking, Mir. Stevens said the Vancouv- CT Holding Co.,, present owner of the road, plans to not only place the road in condition as far as American Creek, but will also make as much prog ress as possible in extending the line to the vicinity of the t;eorge Copper property near the head of Bear River. The company also contemplates continuing the survey from that point across Bear River Pass and into the Groundhog area. Work on the old right of way, he said, will be much facilitated next year through the completion of the saw mill erected at Bitter Creek to SUD- ply the necessary bridge tim bers, ties and other timber materials.

SAYS GEORGE COPPER
 TOO HIGH

Analysing the peculiar vaga- ries of the stock market, a southern mining publication points out that at the present price of shares, George Cop per has a stock valuation ap- proximating $9,0OO,0OO, a rather high valuation for a property which must still be considered as practically un- developed. The continued high prices of George Copper shares is attributed mainly to the scarcity of the shares on the market. Consolidated M. 6 s. is said to hold options on l. 395,0O0 or 92 per cent of the total 1,50O,OOO shares. As the vendors hold around 45, 5,OOO of the remaining shares, there are only about 6O,OO0 shares actually in the hands of the public. Southern brokers be- lieve a large portion of the latter to be held in a pool, which manipulates the stock as it sees fit.
