Milton Leydig started his Atlantic &

Gently the A. 0. Smith Manufacturing
Corporation of Milwaukee took an op-

Late in the year Thomas A. NARROW

the Beaver Greek Mining property in
Phillips county and active development

vision of William r. Price.
Butte, during the year materially in
creased its production of copper. lead,
zinc, silver, gold and manganese and
it would not be surprising If this were
again increased in 1897.
Under our present federal financial
security laws 1t is most difficult to pub
licly finance any primary mining ven
lures and wealthy individuals or syn
dicateS will not purchase a property
unless it is partially developed and re-
ported upon by a reliable engineer.
Therefore, am of the opinion that
the stimulation of mining in this state
will, outside of Butte, depend almost
wholly on the willingness of new cap
ital to enter the industry.

Nuts to the Car,' Says
Fair Weather Motorist,
and Hops a Truck West

Highway Patrolman Hugh Potter,
during his travels, has seen q lot
of funny auto accidents but one
atop Macdonald pass recently took
the cake, he reported.
An unidentified man driving a
1928 ChrysIer car lost control of his
machine near the top of the pass
and plunged over a bank, Potter
said. The car was demolished.
Climbing weariIy and painfully
back TO the road the unfortunate
driver, who suffered only a bump
on the head tagged a highway
maintenance truck.
"Give me a ride west" he said.
The truck driver looked at the auto
Wreckage below. "What about your
carp" he asked, @aren't you going
to do something about it?"
''Nuts TO IT," the man said, I'm
In a hurry to get west. Let that
wreck lay" And he rode away.
Later the truck driver realized
that possibly he had let someone
escape from a 'fhOt" car and in
formed authorities. A check re-
Vealed that the auto had been le-
ultimately purchased the day of the
accident, for a used car concern in
Spokane.
Potter expressed the opinion that
the man was anxious to get from
Montana's subzerO temperatures
back TO sunny Washington. And
he couldn't bother taking a
wrecked ear with him.

SOFT CRABS REPORTED
VERY SCARCE IN KENT

Soft crabs have become so scarce
in Kent County waters that it is diff
ficult to buy them at any price. Fish
vendors of Rock Hall, who supply
Chestertown markets with fish and
crabs, travelled ten miles along the
Eastern Neck Island waterfront Sat
urday morning last and were unable
to purchase a dozen.
Hook and line fishing in Chester
River and on Swan Point bar off
Rock Hall dropped off during the past
week, which many watermen attribute
to an overabundant supply of food in
the waters.
J. D. Noll and VIM. G.. Brown, who
conduct boat hiring business on the
Chester River, report a scarcity of
both crabs and fish this year. Sunday
was the first day during the season
that more than a half dozen crabs
had been caught during an entire day.

INTERESTING BIT HISTORY
APPEARS IN EXCAVATION

In "lifting the face" of Main ST., in
Salisbury where Montgomery Ward is
preparing to build, history of over
half century was brought to the sur
face and now glistens in the spotlight
of memory.
Before the great Salisbury fire in
1886 the site of today's Woolworth
store was occupied by the partnership
of Henry Scott Brewington and Levin
w. Dorman, then in the manufacture
Of tinware. During the recent exca-
waiting on the DR.. Seth Smith property
scrap metal from the old shop, having
been deposited and abandoned years
ago, was discovered. It was immed-
lately recognized by old timers of the
community as the surplus metal from
which were made many commodities
such as buckets, pals and pans.
After the fire the firm of Dorman
& Smyth Hardware Co., was organ
lied and moved to it's present location
on the corner of Main and Market
streets as soon as the building was
ready for occupancy. This fact es-
tablished the approximate age of
the metal as between fifty and sixty
years. In spite of this, many pieces
are in good condition showing much
of the former lustre.
The quality of this material typifies
the kind of merchandise on which "The
Old Reliable" has built it's business
and with which it now carries on the
principles of it's founders, according
to Richard D. LeViness, present own
er of the business. These relics may
be seen in one of the Main street dis
play windows nf--i---T--------'s- s--f'.a1yth

DELMARVA CAMP OPENS
ON AUGUST EIGHTH

The committee in charge of Del
marva Camp, one of the largest and
most beautiful camp grounds on the
Eastern Shore, has been making every
effort to better accommodate the large
number of people that are expected to
visit the camp this year. Due to the
large crowds that attended last season,
the parking problem became acute, so
that this season, all avenues in the
rear of the cottages and also those
extending back in the pines, have
been resurfaced to better accommo-
date the automobiles.
Much time and money has been
spent to make the promenade circle,
including about three hundred naples,
more beautiful than ever. The hotel
and confectionery stands have been
remodeled, making them more attrac-
tive and serviceable.
Owners of cottages have already
begun to renovate and paint them,
much earlier than in years past, and
by the time of the camp opening the
entire place will be in first class con-
dition.
The camp this year will be in charge
of Rev. Robert Fraser, the blind radio
evangelist of Philadelphia, who is well
known in the eastern part of the Uni
ted States. DR.. Fraser will bring with
him an orchestra of six or seven young
people and choir leader.
Every effort is being made to make
this the most successful year in the
history of the camp.
The opening date is August 9Th, AMI
the closing will be on August oath.

Kechnie. This team has a fine
infield. a high-class Outfield and
a good catcher with fair sup

are that the pitchers will look
better than they did against us
in two or our three games. Joe

Eddie Linke hits like an out

"The loss of Tommy Bridges,
