WESTPORT. '

A few weeks since an item appeared in
this column giving an outline of the work
which the Lees Manufacturing Company
were doing and showing some of the features-
tending to the success of the concern. Sub-
sequent events prove what was then stated.

’One of the features was, the great way in
which the company was formed—without
display of great deeds promised, and without
soliciting, as is too often the case, flaring
newspaper statements which so often end in
nothing more than blustcr in the form of
sweet, soundihg WOI‘dS- Starting with a cap-
ital of $25,000, the company now find it to
their advantage to increase the same to
$40,000,>and they will presently double their
machinery, which will enable them to put
. upon the market fourteen tons per week of
manufactured goods instead of seven, as‘now
The fine steam engine just put in will help
them when a scarcity of water appears, and
throughout the year, night and day, two sets
of men being employed, the great work they
have in hand will be pushed forward. To
increase the mill’s motive power, Mr. John
Cotter of Norwalk, has been engaged to put
in a new fifty-four inch water wheel, of the
Risdon patent.

Sunday was a day of rare magnificence
and would have been fully enjoyed but for
dismal reports in the morning papers of the '
President’s condition.

The narrow escape from drowning of one
of McCready’s men, who was taken with
cramps while bathing the other day. reminds
our people of the death of John Chapman
from a similar cause some years ago, near
the same spot. Chapman, who was a very
strong man, being overheated Went into the
water to cool himself, and losing all power
of muscular action when the cramps came,
sank like lead and drowned in the presence
of his friends.

Master Fred Cannon will this week sail,
per bark Adolph Eugler, Merriman, from
New York, for Marseilles and Carthagena,
returning in about three months.

While at work on a barn for Mr. Arthur
Taylor, Theodore Allen, Esq, fell to the
ground from the second story. Dr. Elwood
found a tenth rib loosened from the vertebra
and four ribs displaced, besides serious bod-
ily bruises. Under Dr. E's treatment, the
sufferer, it is said, will recover. '

It is hinted that the projected factory of

by parties who_ have confidence in the sue--
cess of the enterprise, and that. so soon as it
shall be finished, another factory, equally
large will be started. If this be true, there
is no reason why our {active company may
not in a few years make 'Westport the live-
liest place on the Sound.

‘ The gossip and excitement aroused by the
appearance here last week, of a woman
claiming to be the lawful wife of Mr. James
Hart, is quieted by that gentleman‘s produc-

The President’s Mother.
' New York Tribune.

There has been no more significant point
in the history of the tragedy at Washington

to the waiting, breathless nation than the

part which his wife and mother have borne
in it. - Millions of men and women to whom
the president was really but a vague name,
a symbol of power, and General Garfield,
perhaps, apolitical enemy, have felt their
hearts throb and eyes fill at the thought of
the fair and delicate woman, so dear to him,
whom he had with his own hands just faith-
fully nursed back from the borders of the
.grave, hastening to him on the flying train
to hold him in her weak arms, to help him
with her prayers and love, in his long and
heroic fight with death. ' The sight brings thé
White House down to a level with the poor-
est cabin in which there is love and faith,
and makes its inmates the kin of every house-
hold in the land.

Nobody has forgotten, too, how in the
day of his inauguration, when he took the
oath which made him ruler of fiftv millions
of people he quickly turned from the wait-
ing diplomatists bearing the congratulations
of all other rulers, and from the applauding
crowds, to a little, plainly dressed, white-
haircd woman seated behind him, stooped
and reverently kissed her. It was his
mother. Yesterday the news as the assassin-
ation, which had been kept from her, was
broken to her by her daughter, she heard
it with‘a kind of stunned amazement. “How
could anybody be s3 cold-hearted as to kill
my baby '1’” she said.

He was a soldier to others ; a patriot, the
representative of a certain far-reaching na-
tional policy; to the worlc beyond, the
chosen ruler of a mighty people. But he
was only “her baby" still to her “James,”
who, a‘s she so often while in Washington
said with simple dignity, “has always been
a good boy." It does not seem so long ago
to her since she held him in her arms, or
trained him to be a true, obedient son. He
might command millions of people of every
race and country, but he still obeyed the
aged, trembling woman who, when she heard
of his cruel wounds, cried out: “Lord! help
mcl” “Thcsword entered her own soul
also.” '

There is not a home in the land, we ven-
ture to say, where the agonized cry of this
feeble mother will be heard without profound
emotion.

According to Dr. Bembaugh’s Literature
of Kissing, We have all of us been at fault
in our interpretations of Burns’s “Comin’
ihro’ the Rye.” It was’t in coming through
the dewy grain that Jennie draggled “a’
her petticoate” and was kissed by her mis-
cellaneous sweethearts. There is near Ayr
a small, 'shallow stream called the Rye,
which, having neither bridge nor ferry, was
forded by the rustics on their way to and
from the market. It used to be the custom
of the country,when a lad met a lass midwa
in the Rye, to steal a kiss from her; andi
is that custom which is-commemorated in the
ballad. -

Our Washington Letter.

WasnmoTox, July 23, 1881.
DEAR GAZETTE :— * '

Your correspondent last week expressed
the hope that in this week’s letter he would
be able to state on authority that the President
had recovered so far as to be pronounced out
of danger. As day by day passed and he
continued to steadily improve, the hope grew
into almost certainty and the attendant pliya
sicians themselves were so sanguine that ar-
rangements were made ugon their suggestion
so as to have everything in readiness for the
proposed sea voyage by the middle of Au-
gust. Everything appearcd favorable and
the hearts of the people were gradually free—
ing themselves from the kind of anxiety that
has weighed them down since that never to
be forgotton day when the tragedy occurred.
This morning, however, all was changed and
from the acme of hope their spirits fell to
the utmost depths of despair. Early in the
morning the rumor spread like wildfire
throughout 'the city that the President had
had a relapse and was in great danger. Little
faith was placed in the report at first and not
till the hour arrived for the issuing the morn-
bulletin and none appeared, did the people
believe anything was amiss. The regular
hour for the first bulletin is 8 o’clock and as
the hour passed and 9 o'clock came and still
no bulletin, the wildest rumors gained cre—
dence and while some attributed the delay to
the important causes, the majority felt it to
be a bad sign. Such it proved, for when at
10 a. m. the bulletin was issued it showed
the President had had, and still had a high
fever and his pulse up to 110. \

During the night his pulse was variable,
advancing at one time to 1:30, but amost
immediately subsiding. At 8 this morning
he was seized with a severe chill which lasted
fifteen minutes, but since then he has been
mending slowly. At 11 O’clock he was much
more cdmfortable and the physicians feel
that the worst is over. .

CAUSE on Tim TEACTION.

The doctors do not assign any definite
satisfactory reason for the unfavorable change
as yet, but have various surmise: as to Why
it occurred. They seem- to think that it is
caused by the failurefof the wound to dis-
charge freely, as when it was dressed this
morning the wound did not give forth near
as much matter as during the past few days,
though by pressing on the body a little was
forced out. In dressing the wound this
morning when it was found that the dis-
charge was by no means free, the pressing
upon the abdomen which has heretofore
caused ‘a flow of pus, was tried but it did not
work satisfactorily. This would indicate an
accumulation of matter where the bullet is
located.

INTENSE EXOITEMENT.

Probably at n time since the day of the'
shooting has the excitement been so intense
as it was this morning. Quiet confidence in
the President's recovery to-dayugave way to
a flutter of anxiety that serious consequences
are now liable at any time. In less than an
hour after thesmorning bulletin was dis-
played Fifteenth Street resumed the appear-
ance presented three weeks ago. Treasury
clerks, business men and others collected in
knotsherc and there, deploring the outlook
and spoke- as though they anticipated that
their worst fears were to realized after
all. Another thing which strengthed their
apprehension was the-fact that while they
were discussing the matter, carriages con-
taining members ofihe Cabinet rolled by and
were driven rapidly into the White House
grounds. This fact gave rise to a rumor
that the President was dying and a cabinet
meeting was being held.

THE PRESIDENT’S CONDITION,
at 1:15 p. m. was quite satisfactory. Dr.
Reyburn stated that the fever had broken and
‘the patient was perspiring freely, which is

ly alarmed as they expected certain fluctua—
tions in the case as one of the natural con—
sequences of so serious a wound. He did
not know exactly to what cause to ascribe
the disturbance this morning unless it was
due to preformation in the wound.
oUiTEAU’s INCARCERATION

District Attorney Corkhill, who left here
Wednesday with his family for Cape May,
addressed before leaving, the following letter
to the warden of the jail, relative to the sys-
tem of incarcerat'pn of the national crimi-
nal :

Gen. J. S. Cracker, Warden U. S. Jail :—

DE Sin: The grand jury having ad-
journe until the 12th of September, and it
being impossible to ascertain the final results
of the attack by Charles Guiteau, the assas-
sin of the President, it will be necessary to
retain him in custody for future action by
‘the authorities.

I desire that you place him on one side of
the jail where there are no other prisoners
and where means of escape are impossible;
that you will allow him to see no other per—
son whatever, and that he be not permitted
to hold conversation with any of the guards,
and that he be rigorously excluded from re—
ceiving or sending any communication ex-
cept those delivered by me or-received by
my direction. ,

I desire this direction to be rigidly execu-
ted. GEonGE B. CORKniLL.

THE MISSING BULLET.

It seems that only one of the shots fired
at the President took effect, and for sometime
a diligent search was made to 'find the miss-
ing bullet. 4 It was found Monday through a
German glazier, who happened to be in the
depot on the eventful Saturday morning. He
was standing in'the main room, some forty
feet from where the assassin stood, and in a
southeast direction. He had commpnced to
unstrap his box in which he carried glass,and
had got one strap off his shoulder, when he
heard the noise of the pistol, and immediate-
ly three panes of glass in his box were shat-
tered. He at once rushed from the depot,
thinking it was no place for safety. On‘
Saturday last he was cleaning Out This box,
and found the ball in the putty. He was
narrating the fact to his friends, when one of
them told him that was the time when the
President was shot, and brought him to the
District Attorney’s office where he made his
statement and gave up the pistol ball. He
thinks it was the first shot that broke the
glass, but says they were so. close together
that he had not time to get away. His po-
sition confirms the statement of Senor Cam-
ancho,the Venezuelan minister. as to the ex-
act position of the assasssin at the time of
firing the shot. '

or INTEREST T0 menus.

The Signal Service authorities in Wash-
ington are perfecting a system of signals by
which it is proposed to acquaint the farmers
with'predicted changes in the weather. Col-
orcd rockets are to be sent up at 3 o'clock in
the morning from, stations in the farming
regions, and the probabilities for the coming
day are to be indicated by the color of the
rockets and their arrangement.

orer SERVICE REFORM.

Postmaster General James has two civil
service reform plans. One is to make all ap.
pointments after a strict competitive. exami-
nation; the other is to adopt, a similar sys-
tem to that under which cadets are admitted
,to West Point and the Nival Academy. and
that is, to let the President and members of
Congress select the candidates for appoint-
ment, and who would be required to pass a
thorough examination.

PERSONAL.

The only Connecticut visitor here during

the past week was Mr. E. H. Mathewson.

Capt. and Mrs. E. E. Howcs leave here
August 2d, for a short visit to their sister,
Mrs. C. N. Wood, of Norwalk. Capt. H. will
be rememberedaa having spent the summer
in Norwalk a few years ago, and his many
friends will doubtless be pleased to welcome
him and his wife. '

Amzi Smith, of the Senate Document
room, contemplates visiting Connecticut next
month. He will proceed by boat'from Bal-
timore to Boston, returning by railroad
through Conn.

The family of Gen. W. T. Clark, chief

clerk of the Internal Revenue Bureau, will
summer on the New England coast. Gen.
Clark expects to join thcmfibout the‘ 5th of
August. .

Miss Mary Wait, daughter of Congressman
Wait, is to be married in the fall to Mr. J.
H. Welles, of Boston, nephew of the Hon.
Gideon Welles, late Secretary of the Navy.

For the dmtz'a.
CORRESPONDB NOE.

On the 10d of June, 1881,11cft old Nor-
walk with my son Bennie to see some part of
tlic Uuitedetatcs. north and“ west of the
Nutmeg State.

We left'Ncw York via of the New York,
Lake Erie and Great Western R. R. for that
great metropolis of the West—Chicago, and
if you will bear with me I will try and in-
form you the best I can as to the cities passed
through, the crops and lands, rivers,lakes and
manufactorics. '

From Jersey City to Suffcrn there is not
much of special attraction save the Hacken-
sack and Pasaic rivers and the immense
plains of sedge grass. Suffern is pleasantly
situated on a southern slope of the Highlands.
From this place to Middletown the scenery
along the Ramapo valley is exceedingly fine,
and from Middletown to Port Jervis the
railroad is on the side of the bills from one
to five hundred feet above the valley; to the
right is a continuous range of fine farms.
The Delaware and Hudson Canal, filled with
its floating stores of produce, furnish attrac-
tions for our journey until we reach Susque-
hana. At Turner‘s Station we are allowed
twenty minutes for lunch. At Narrowsburgh,
so named from the narrowncss of the river,
we were again given time to refresh ourselves.
Here the Delaware and Hudson Canal leaves
us for the coal regions of Pennsylvania.

The scenery from Susquahana to Biugham-
ton, with the large green meadows and
vegetable farms on either side, and the cattle
feeding on the bills beyond, 700 feet above
the valley, is simply grand. The large arch
railway over the chasm at Port Jervis is a
gigantic piece of masonry.

We arrived at Binghamton at shut 5 p.
m. and stopped over night at the Crnndall
House. Binghamton is a clean, neat city,
with many Splendid residences and large
factories, among which was the taunery of
J. B. Weed & Co. They employ 190 hands
and prepare 400 sides of leather for shipment
daily. I was kindly permitted by the junior
member of the firm to go through the works
and examine into the manufacture of what
is sold to theworld generally for pebble goat
and kid leather, made from the skin of the
same animal that the ordinary calf skin is.
The skiving and splitting of the hide: is
done with a band knife.’ The sides are
measured by a table of two‘ slatted surfaces
hinged together with a system of lead pellets
suspended with strings which are so adjusted
that when they are allowed to drop on aside
of leather, the portion that remain on the
side controll an index Eager which meas-
ures the capacity of the side in feet and
inches; a very ingenius piece of machinery.
The city of Binghamton lies at the junction
of the Susquahana and Clienango rivers.

After leaving this city the next place to
which we stopped was Elmira. This city
did not impress us very highly, it being con-
nected by rail with Williamsport, an exten-
sive coal mart in central Pennsylvania. We
left here at 4:40 p. m. on thetraiu known as
the Monitor, for Hornellsvile, where we ar-
rived at 7:30 p. in. Here we put up at the
Osborn House, where the proprietor exercises
especial care for the dentistry in your mouth.
The steaks are cut thin, two and a half by
three inches and cooked thoroughly through,
and the first thought which employs your
mind is as to whether you had better bolt the
whole at a mouthful or cat in mincingly to
preserve the high-toned character of the
house. This place is noted as the great switch
station, where from 1 to 2 thousand cars are
being :switched from one road to another.
This business, it is said, sacrifices on an
average a man a day for every;day in the
year, in the coupling and uncouplingof cars,
some with a few fingers, and others with
a hand, or an arm Off.

We left this place at 7:30 a. m. Sunday
morning for Buffalo where we arrived at
11:40. The distance for, the most part
is through a farming district; saw large
fields of hops besides large apple orchards.
At Portage is a very high bridge over the
the Genesee river and falls. This bridge is
235 feet above the falls, and when first built
400 acres of, heavy timber land was cut over
to construct it. It has since been rebuilt of
iron in one span. There is some question as
to its safety by the people of the neighbor-
hood, but the ofiieials of the road proclaiu it
to be absolutely safe. The Railroad Co. are
now meditating making it an arch bridge.
The trains pass over very slowly, I felt
easier when I got over.

At Buffalo we stopbed at the Broigell
Hausa, a very respectable hotel. Monday
morning we started for the Falls, took a car-
riage across the Suspension Bridge and up to
the burning spring. This spring is situated
by the side of the Niagara river, and the
properties are those of a water largely im—
pregnated with sulphur, which on coming to
the surface and being exposed to the air
escapes through a conical shaped tube where it
is concentrated and the sulphufetted-hydrogen
when lighted with a matched: the top burns
very freely. The carriage Suspension Bridge
was built by a stock company and is 1269
feet across, 190 feet above the water, which
is 152 feet deep, making a distance of 342
feet above the bed of the river. There are
two cables on each side over the towers. one
of four inches and one of seven inches in
diameter. The bridge has lately been stayed by
wire rope guys on each side which tend to
stop the swaying which had become alarming
to the extent that one of the largest stock
holders offered his stock for 25 cents on the
dollar. The railroad suspension bridge is a
splendid piece of mechanism and is situated
about one mile belowzithe Falls. Here are
two cables on each side of ten inches in
diameter, one above the other, the upper one
supporting the railroad and the other the
carriage road fifteen feet underneath. The
towers are 78 feet high and 17 feet square at
the base; it is 250 feet from the water below
and 822 feet across. John A. Roebling was
the engineer. The bridal wreaths are simply
the artificial outlets of the canal into the
river.

The Whirlpool is a natural curiosity,bcing a
pool into which the water flows, s ounded
by precipitous bills from two to t c hun—
drcd feet high, after which the water comes
back and flows out at an obtuse angle. The
elevator to the whirlpool is 435 feet long and
the perpendicular distance is 275 feet.

0n the morning of the 22d we started via
the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern for
Chicago. Eric is a great railroad centre and
Coal depot. North East is a place of consid~
erable note. . Painesvillc is also a very busy
little town, and the next station is Mentor,
the home of President Garfield. We saw
the top of his dwelling, his peach orchard
and the little lane opposite of which the train
stopped to let off the visiting party to the
President shortly after his nomination.
Arrived at Cleaveland at 1:40 p. 111. Techs
stop over at Cleaveland, which is a city of
some prominence, very handsomely situated
on the southern shore of Lake Eric, on an
elevate lane. The country along the road
to Cleave and is largely grass farms. Visited
the ,Monumcntal Square, the principal
streets, among which were Main and Euclid.
also the grand viaduct bridge which is 3211
feet long and 64 feet widc,connccting the
cast and west sides of Cleaveland at the gen—
eral elevation of the city and crossing the
valley of the Cuyahogo river; The draw
span is 332 feet in lcngth,bcing 68 feetjabove
the ordinary water mark of the river. The

 

weight of the draw is 700 tons and is oppcr-.

ated by a 50 horse power double steam en-
gine. Cost $2,150,000. _
From this place we took the 3:30 p. in.

train with another stop over for Toledo. and.
after looking up some real estate matters we .

visited the principal places of interest. The
Maumee river, which flows through the city,
is an exceedingly dirty body of water;
visited'a saw mill where we saw logs con-
verted into lumber, timber, lath andnshinglcs
at very short notice. The shingles were
sorted by boys and made into bunches of
three qualities, 1st XXX at $3 75 per m.
2d XX at $2.75 per in, and the 3d X at $2.00
per in. B. J. S.

U. 8., could tell the 4,500,000 Republican
votefs how it is, that Alabama with 661,986
white inhabitants, and 600,141 colored inhab-
itants, gave Hancock a plurality of 34,509;
,how Georgia with 814,218 white,and 724,854;
colored, gave him 49,874; how Mississippi
with 479,371 white. and 050,337 colored gave
him 40,896; and how South Carolina With
391.258 white, and 604,325 colored gave him
54,241 ? '

These States have a total white population
012,346,833, and a total colored population
of 2,579,657, yet gave Hancock 179,520 plu-
rality. A. RErUnLiOAN MINOR.

From Western Massachusetts.
EDITORS OF NQRWALK GAZETTE:

This section of New England, though its

agricultural importance has been taken away
by the superior fetility of the “Great West."
still maintains large manufacturing indus-
tries, and increases its attractions as a
summer resort for those who love the pic-
turesque and beautiful in Nature. We spent
a week at Williamstown previously to com-
ing here, and the charms of that dignified
seat of learning seemed greater than ever.
The college commencement promised to be
of unusual brilliaucy because of the attend-
ance of its most distinguished alumnus in.
the person Of President Garfield who was
graduated from Williams College in 1856.
He was stricken down by the infamous as-
sassin just as he was taking the train to come
on, and the spirits of all being clouded'by
anxiety and sorrow, the commencement
took somewhat the aspect of the play of
Hamlet withthe prince of Denmark’s part
omitted, but was relieved of common place-
ncss by the inauguration of the newly
chased president, Dr. Franklin Carter, who
belongs to the class of.1862. Men come and
men go, but the grand old Berkshire moun-
tains stand forever. The village,always beau-
tiful, has by the exercise of a little tasteful
art become, I firmly believe, absolutely
unrivalledin all the land for its park-like
loveliness. It is worth a long-journey to see
this quiet retreat of scienc. and religion,
lapped in the valley of the Hoosic, guarded
in the loving embrace of the wooded ranges
that enrich it, its broad, unfenced streets and
avenues Winding among grassy lawns shaded
by stately clms and maples, that are grouped
i0 groves or over-arching lines or stand simp-
ly in symmetrical beauty.
' Inaccessibility and :rcmotcness no longer
attach to W illiamstown. Railroads from all
points reach it. The elegant boats of the
Citizens’ Line to Troyfadmirably managed,
I have found to afford the most comfortable
route; and the short ride by rail from Troy
is full of interest.

From Williamstown we came to this quiet
place through North Adams and Greenfield
by way of the Hoosac Tunnel, that great
bore which before its completion became to
the legislature and people of the State an
intolerable bore in the most literal sense.
Over four miles in length, under a mountain
more than a thousand feet thick, the rock so
hard as to defy the best drills, it is almost
certain that it would have resisted the efforts
of engineering skill until now, had it not
been for the aid of nitro-glyccrinc. Traffic
through it is on the increase, a hundred
train: a day being frequently passed. The
experience of going thrOugh is a novel one,
and if you stand as I did with a friend on the '
rear platform of the train, you get a vision
of blackness profound and intense enough t6
be fitly called Miltonic.

The village of Bernardstown. lying near
the Connecticut River, the next town above
Greenfield, is a still, restful place, held
mainly by intelligent farming families with
a few households of those who find it a con-
genial home of retirement from the cares of
a busy life. ' The Powers Institute, which in
an endowed Academy, and the Cushman
Library, a collection 6f valuable books four'
or five thousand in number in a brick fire-
proof building, stimulate the intellectual life
of young and old and minister to the refine-
ment and culture of all. Here under the wide
shade of some spreading elm one can sit and
dream, or read that best of summer maga-
zines, Lippincott, whose stories are always
fresh and crisp, whose sketches of travel are
bright with adventure and anecdote. The
mind craves some exercise even while rest—
ing from the severer labors of the year, and
under the trees in the summer heats there is
no plgasanter recreation of this sort given by
the {Cried and delightful essays and tales in
Lippincott.

In this, as in nearly all the towns Of cen—
tral New England, one is impressed with the
thrift of the inhabitants. No one seem poor,
their homes are pleasant and comfortable,
and while trade is not in such proportion as
to give chance for great wealth, there is clear
absence of poverty. Public spirit, too, is
evident in the interest which all take in their
town and its welfare. Temperance has
much to do with all this. The results of
labor are not wasted in drink but applied to
material improvement and the increase of the
comforts of life. People, do not seem to
attain competence by excessive toil and
penurious saving, for there appears to be less
drudging, less hard work done here than in
and around our large cities; but there are no
saloon, no liquor shops to drain away and
absorb the earnings of the people. The re-
turn for labor, though it may not be large,
is directly applied, as it should be, to the
support of life, not worse than thrown away
in the indulgence of a senseless and unhealthy
habit of swallowing spiritous or malt liq-
uors. The economic side of the temperance
question is one of the best, arguments in fa-
vor of abstinence, and this vice is strongly
enforced by the contentment, intelligence,
well-to-do-ness of these rural communities in,
western Massachusetts. R. B. 'S.

Unlform Divorce Laws.

Dr. Woolsey, of New Haven, in an inter-
view with a Herald reporter, insists upon the
desirability of securing uniform laws on the
subject of marriage and divorce throughout
the country. The statistics on the subject
are very meagre, and thus far chiefly go to
show the great popularity of divorce as an
“institution.” In 187.8, for instance, there.
were more divorces granted in Massachusetts

together. Connecticut down" to that year'
permitted divorce for f‘any such misconduct
which. permanently destroys the happiness of
the petitioner and defeats the purpose of the
marriage rclation"—a provision Which made
the matter one of judicial discretion ; but in,
Massachusetts, where no such law has ever

existed, and with a population of 1,783,000,
six hundred divorces were granted in 1878,

against eight hundred in England and Wales

bitter opponents of divorce law reform, and
of course they can hardly be expected to fa—
vor it ; , but behind them there is a laxity of
public sentiment which makes permanent im—
provement of the law difficult.

An Investment Security in Gold
Production. '

 

 

 

The Union Investment and
Promoting 00., .

155 and 157 BROADWAY. NEW YORK.

OFFERS for sale to investors the preferred stock

of the Gold Gravel Hydraiilic_Uo., of Plumas
and Sierra. Counties, California. This property
which has been a largely paying one for the last
eleven years, is a consolidation of placer claims
which have already produced nearly twelve mil-
lions in gold—and which are extensive and rich

The present facilities for gold washing on the
property ll suffice for an annual net production
of at least 330% 00,whichproductiou it is prepos'ed
to largely increase by the construction: Ofnew
water work ands the use of additional apparatus
for extracting the gold. The Union Investment
and Promoting Company, which itself owns the
Common Stock of the Gold Gravel Company,
whichis not for sale, guarantees that the pre-
ferred stock which it offers to the public at par,
shall receive 12 per cent. annually before any di-
vidend shall be paid on the common stock—at the
present rate of production, however, the divi-
dends on .the total capital stock of one million,
should not be less than twenty-five per cent. The
Union Investment and Promoting 00., is a. Con-
necticut Corporation with its chief ofiice in New
York City. Its President is A. F. Wilmarth, the
Vice President of the Home Insurance Company;
and among its Director are J. S. Stout, of Stunt
Sc 00. , Bankers, New York, Henry E. Russell, of
the Russel and Erwin Mtg. 00., New York, Geo.
1’. Bissell, of Hartford, and James Bolter, Presi.
dent of the Hartford Bank, with others of the
highest repute and financial standing.

It is admitted by all who have any acquaint-
ance with the subject that the placer gold gravel
beds of California, afford an entirely sale and con-
servative field for investment if sufficient water
forhydraiilic operations is available Prof. Wm.
P. Blake, of N cw Hayeu and other experts ofthe
highest character have reported most favorably
upon this property. In answer to the question
likely to be first asked by the cautious N cw Eng-
land investor: “Why,it‘ this is so good a thing
does this wealthy company wish to sell any of
the stock”—-it may be said that through the com-
panies’ agents and experts in California, it has
opportunities to use capital in similar invest-
ments which will pay the company fifty per cent.
which is amordinary rate of miners interest. It)
proposes to continue so long as possible this
profitable use of money while giving the public
the advantage of purchasmg a twenty-five per
cent. dividend paying stock at par.
