had been made for their adyent. Mr.
Bodfish is known by many here who

Tows Makers— Three Generous Prizes
offered by the Boston Ecening Record.-
There is in nearly every New Eugland town
some man of considerable local prominence
who was born and reared there and whose
life has been closely identified with the
growth and development of the place ; who
has been content to abide in his birthplace
and spend his life in its service. Such man
render a service to New England character
and prosperity which it is exceedingly diffi-
cult to estimate. They are generally modest
men, who do not desire to flaunt their tloiugs
in tns face of tbe world. They are content
lo see their town prosper, and they quietly
en peud talents anil energ ies there which in
broader fields rai^ht have vrou them more
honor aad more money.
These men are very importan t elements ia
modern civilization; .
they regulate the social
machinery by the potent force of example.
They ought to be more widely known and
more highly houered. The Record has de-
termined some of them t-hal! be. and to that
end has determined to offer three piizes for
original articles describing the life and work
of the most promiasnt living natives of tha
towns of Massachusetts.
The articles must not contain nnrc than
5500 words, must be str ictly original and
tnust be accompanied by a good photograph
el the subject of the skttch. The man writ-
teu about must be a native of the town or
have become a resident before 21 years of
age, and have iived there all his life.
The prizes will be $50 for the best article.
$30 for the second best, and §20 for the third
best. The le.-t of mcilt will be the general
excellence of the article for newspaper use ;
Its literary merit siud its readable qualities,
No rules will be laid down , as it is desired to
leave competitors free to exercise originality,
follow out their own ideas and exercise their
own jud gment. Oae hundred of these arti-
cles will be admitted to compete, and not
Je.ss than 50 of the beet written will be
printed. The prizes will be awarded by a
jury of five, consisting of the uublinber of
The Itecord and Advertiser , the- managing
editor of The liecord, aud the managing,
literary and art editors of The Daily Advcr-
lAier. "The article* must ye submitted on or
twsfore the loth day of February next , and
tlje publicatiou will begin Immediately
thereafter and continue until , the accepted
.
articles have all been printed , when the
prizes will be auaouuceii.
Any further information they may desire

The Karnstable County Conference of
Congregational Churches lias issued the
following Circular:
TO ALL THE RELI G IOUS BODIES AND
TEMPEKAXCE ORGANIZATIONS IN
MASSACHUSETTS :
Gkkgtikg :
The Harnstable County Conference of Con-
gregational Churches, at their session at Har-
wich Port Dee. 1
1, 18S7, passed unanimously
the following preamble anil resolutions:
Whkueas. we believe that the Christian
churc h should be sn aggressive force in the
n,ora! regeneration of society, and that a
true ChrMlan dtizeiij bip involves the
guardianship of the purity of the State
aud the sancity and sufety of the home, and
Whereas, we" believe that in the great
national struggle between' the home and
the saloon , the Christian voters of the
country ought to unite iu taking an imme-
diate and decided stand for the home,
therefore,
itesolved—'Xn&t we recommend to all the
churches of this conference, to circulate in
llieir respective parishes, the fol lowing
pledge— We. legul voters of , hereby
pledge ourselves, that we will not. knowing-
ly, vote for any candidate for any office ,
legislative, executive or judicial , who will
not endeavor, both by vote and influence, to
prohibit the manufacture acd sale or intoxi-
cating liqu ors us a beverage.
liesoteed—That a copy of these resolu-
tions be sent to all ttie conferences of our
order , au d as f;ir as practicable, to all the re-
ligious bodies) within the limits of tilts Com-
nionweahb. and to all temperance organiza-
tions, invk insr them to co-operate with us in
this movement.
Ucsolced—That a committee of three be
tippoiuteii by this Conference to further tbe
objects of these resolutions; to secure united
action tbereon , by whatever methods may
be, by tlit'in, deemed expedient, and to take
all neets*ary steps to secure the presentation
of the signatures to ill." aforesaid pledge be-
fore the State and "National Conventions of
the political parties.
The undersigned were then appointed the
committee coutfinpiated by the above resolu-
tions. In pursuance of the duty assigned us,
we address to you this lette r, believing that
you already realize the magnitude of tbe in-
terests involved , and that you will appreciate
wi thout any suggestion from us, the magnifi-
cent opportunity which ibis movement pre-
sents to the c-hiircli tor securing a grand ad-
vance of the Bedeemer's kingdom.
We take pleasure in extending to you the
fraternal invitation of our conference to co-
operate with us in obtaining signatures to
tbe aforesaid pied .
se, and to secure unity of
action , permit us respectfully to suggest ,—1,
that vour organizatio n appoint s committee
similar to ours. -
2, that tbe pledges when
sijjued , be returned to the chairman of saiii
committee. 3, that you instruct said chair-
man to put himself iu corresDoudence with
our chairman , Rev. J. K. Aldrich , Hyann b,

We recognize in this Circular the par-
tial plan of one of our most clear-headed
aud astute public meu—a man who has
done more for temperance than any ten
men in Barnstable County, and yet a man
whom the members of the prohibitory
party of Cape Cod ostracize. His plan
is that a pledge be secured from ALL
TEMPERANCE ilEN—every where- -
aud he believes if one half as much la-
bor is devoted to this object as is now
expended in promoting the interests of
the prohibitory party that temperance
men would have complete control of the
republican nominations. And we are in
accord with him.
But this move of the Cape Cod Con-
grcgationalNts is in the right direction,
aud should find favor in the churches at
least, and if generally adopted will ex-
ert an influence even upon the next na-
tional election.
A Move in the lii^Iit Direction.
A circj lar was last Tuesday sent to
all the "displaymetf' at Hull , Chatham,
Portsmouth , Highla nd Light, Hyannis
and Provincetowu , notifying them that
no pay would be allowed them for their
services in displaying cautionary signals
from Jan. 20 to July 1 next. The rea-
son for this decision on the part of the
war department; is that the appropriation
has run short, and there is no money
with which to pay the display meu.—
This is just t'
no season of year when the
cautionary signals :\re needed, and to
deprive our coasters of the service now
is too bad—and it appears to us, with a
littl e straininsr could be avoided.
The catch of mackerel of the New
England fleet for the year foots up §S,3S2
barrels against 7!>.W)S barrels in 1886,
3-20,943 barrels in 1885and 47S.07G barrels
iu ISS-t. Of last ye;u 'scatch , Gloucester
packed 33,600 barrels ,Boston 23,28S bar-
rels, Wellfleet S.-kiS barrels, Province-
town 2,529 barrels,Dennisport l,23S bar-
rels, Truro 385 barrels, Chatham 85 bar-
rels, South Chatham GO barrels and Nan-
tucket 50 barrels.
The Patriot takes a good deal of pleas*
ure in noting the very general drift of
the Press toward Cuapo for the next
republican candidate for Governor.—
When the fitness of this gentleman for
the nomination is warmly urged by such
mercurial sheets as the Springfield Re-
publican , it would seem that objectors
would have hard work to make their
commodity stick.
The thirteenth annual report of the
Boston fish bureau has just been issued.
It discusses the general trade for the
past year, and gives interesting statis-
tics of the catch of fish for the present
year as compared with past seasons.
The loss of life in the fishiog fleet was
145 souls, not including those lost from
dories or washed overboard. There
were 22 vessels lost, valued at §97,400.
It is understood that the Tariff bill
which the Ways aud Means Committee
will report will put wool, salt aud lum-
ber ou tile free list, materially reduce
the tobacco and fruit brandies tax, and
cut off 20 per cent, of the tax on sugar.
Why not strike off the entire duty on
sugar !
The protection principles of the repub-
lican party have a strong and aggressive
advocate in Senator Prye. The free
trade doctrines of Mr. Cleveland find no
quarters in his camp aud he exposes the
un-American doctrines which the Presi-
dent preaches.
The prohibitory amendment question
is settled for the present year, both
branches of the Legislature having voted
for its submission to the people. It has
to p£ss the ordeal of another Legislature,
which, it is to be hoped, will ratify the
action of the present onis,
The dependent pension bill, intror
duced by Senator Manderson and known
as the Grand Army bill, has been re-
ported favorably from the committee on
pensions.
All steamers of the Fall River line
are obliged to make Newport the ter-
minus of their .route instead of FalJ
Eiver, ou account of heavy ice iu Mt.
Hope bay.
Gloucester harbor is frozen over from
East-Point to Norman's Woe. The har-
bor has not been frozen out so far be-
fore for 14 years.

During a recent Legislative hearing
President Choate of the Old Colony
said the more the Old Colony and Provi-
dence consolidation was investigated,
the more it appeared to be in the public
interest. The Old Colony must speud a
million in depot facilities in Boston un-
less it can have the Providence road. It
spends §150,000 for pier accommoda-
tions in New York and must have more
room. Within five years it has bought
$S00,000 worth of land for freight use
in Boston , and will put $250,000 into
shops in Braintree. The §1,300,000 will
be paid from savings in the manage-
ment.
Ebenezer A. Chase, a well-known Cape
Cod character, is under arrest in Fair-
haven for burglary. 'Squire Inmau
writes to the authorities at Pairhaven
that Ebenezer Chase was committed to
jail, May a, 1879, to await his trial for
the offence of breaking and entering.—
Oct. 17, 1S79, he was sentenced by the
Superior Court to the State prison for
three years. He gave his age at that
time as 3S years.

at Hyannis, were unable to reach the
vessel on account of the ice, and joined
the vessel at Woods Holl.
Gov. Long was before the House com-
mittee on rivers and harbors Wednesday
and argued in favor of appropriations

"VVestport harbors.
The animal report of the town of
Truro shows a total valuation of §27S,-

on §1000. The town debt has been de-
creased §143Sduring theyear and 5s now
only §2SG, The rate of taxation ought
to be considerably reduced the coming
year.
The storm last Thursday caused a
general blockade to railroad travel all
over the country—especially in the
West, and on the Verinout, Maine and
New Hampshire roads. Massachusetts,
except the extreme western portion, es-

CHAP. IX.
I have introduced my readers to our
winter quarters. It is now in order to
say something of how wefared during
the four or five months of our sojourn
therein. Fortunately for us, the winter
proved to be one of unusual mildness,
and bore many "smiles of comfort in his
frosty face." Fuel also was abundant
and conveniently near,and cost us noth-
ing but tlie labor of getting and prepar-
ing. Our neighborhood was excellent.
Indeed we never met kinder people any-
where, but none of them lived within
less than a quarter of a mile of us,
while most of them dwelt still farther
away. Nearly all of them owned a few
slaves ; but these bore their chains light-
ly, seemed to be eared for, contented,
aud happy.
It was here that we hrst became ac-
quainted with the manufacture and use
of "corn dodgers," "corn pones," and
"johnnyeake." In the whole town there
might have been now and then a family
who knew what wheatbread is; but gen-
erally it was not in demand—corn-bread
or "hog and hominy," being the main-
spring and "staff of life." We were in
many important things so completely
"out of correspondence with our envi-
ronment,"as the evolutionist would say,
that it was a serious question whether
all of us would be able to adapt- our-
selves to such a sudden and violent
change of life. Certain it is, we all felt
the change keenly—not its discomforts
merely ; it told upon our health ; though
some of us endured this harsh, new dis-
cipline better than others.
About midwinter my youngest sister,
nine years of age, was taken down with
typhoid fever. It had a short run. In a
few days our fair, frail , blue-eyed Caro-
line yielded up her beautiful and gentle
spirit to the all-loving Father. Her im-
age, just as she appeared in health,
dwells in my memory as vividly now as
if she had left my side but an hour ago.
The night she passed away was dark and
gloomy. It was perhaps about twelve
o'clock when she died, and my eldest
brother and I were called to go for one
of our neighbors, a Mrs. Heron, living
across the river, not far from the ferry-
landing. There were some woods to go
through before reaching the house,
which cast a still deeper gloom over the
scene ; but not more gloomy than the
sorrow which brooded over our thoughts
and feelings.
No sympathizing friends of our own
kith arid kin could tie with us in this sad
hour. Only stranger-hands could assist
us in performing the last fad offices to
the dead ; and though all around us were
as kind and sympathizing as neighbors
could be, still they were strangers. The
funeral day was also dark, cold and
cheerless—the winds sighing their la-
ment through the forest we passed
through on our way to the grave. A
semi-circular line of bluffs—steep, high,
and rugged with overhanging rocks,
crowned with red-cedar trees—left an
amphitheater of level ground on the
banks of the river, comprising, perhaps,
about two acres ; and this was used for
a cemetery,—just such a place as the In-
dians might have once used as a camping-
place. Mrs. Sigourney has a verse which
well coincides both with the incident and
the locality :
"One iu tbe forests of the West,
By a dark stream is laid ;
The Indian knows her place of rest,
Deep in the cedar-shade 1
"
Thus among strangers, in a strange
land , we left the mortal remains of our
loved one. What matters it, since Heaven
is all arpund us, and the mysterious
change called death can take nothing
from us that has in reality once been
ours ?
The Mass. Total Abstinence Society

fullyjattended.
Temperance Conventions.
To the Voters of the Town of Barnstable :
It has come to my knowledge that cer-
tain persons for the purpose of injuring
my chances for election as one of the
Selectmen of this town, have said that at
therecent hearing in Boston before Judge
Barker relative to the change of venue
in the case, Snow vs. Alley, I testified
that Mr. Alley could not get a fair ver-
dict before a Cape Cod jury. Now it is
impossible that I could have testified so,
as I was asked no such question. The
following is the substance of the ques-
tions and answers ou that occasion:
Question : Have you heard expressions
of sympathy for Mr. Snow from persons
having no knowledge of the merits of
this case?
Answer: Yes.
Question : Have you heard similar ex-
pressions relative to Mr. Alley?
Answer: No.
Questio n ¦ Do you believe there is a
sympathy existing on Cape Cod in Mr.
Snow's favor ?
Answer: Yes.
This is the substance of my testimony
on this trial and is still a true expression
of my opinioii in the matter, and the

THE
TORTIUTA M INES.
Safer and Better Than Railroad Stocks.
Many people are apt to look upon Invest-
ments in mining stocks as peculmrty hazard-
ous , aad this U generally the case where the
managers ure speculators without character
or commercial standing, who put upon the
market as mites, lands that are merely sup-
posed to contain valuable ores.
But no Investments have paid better than
those In legitimate milling companies con-
ducted by meu of probity and of experience
in their line of business. Fair returns under
these circumstances are more certain than
from an investment in railroad stocks. la
some cases fortunes have been made by
small Investments, as waa tbe case in tbe cel-
ebrated Comstock mines.
Tbe most promising of all the mining
stocks now on tbe market is Vmt of the
"TOKTILITA Gold and Silver Mining Co.,"
which has twelve mines in Pinal Co., Ari-
zona, and investors who want a pure iuvest-
meut , and at the same time one with a prom-
ise of remarkable returns, should purchase
the Tortilita stock.
The Company is composed of well-known
and honorable gentlemen,who have put tbeir
own money in large sums into the undertak-
ing, and who are putting on the market only
two-fifths of tbe capital steek—and this for
the purpose of more rapidly developing the
property by the purchase of needed machin-
ery, such as additional stamping mills, pumps
hoisting works , etc., aud on this preferred
stock, offered to the public, a dividend of 25
per cent, is to be given before the other stock
participates.
TESTED AND PKOVE N.
The mines have been tested, and found to
be rich in ores. The ores from the sbalts
already sunk have paid all the expenses of
mining from Ibu- first shovelful of earth dug
fro m tbe surface down to the present date,
something which only two other mines in
Arizona—the land of mines—have done.
Taking the present output of ore with only
one mill as a ba«is,. with four twenty-stamp
mills, a profit of 10S per cent per year can be
paid on the entire capital stock.
Tbe capital stock of the entire twelve
mines is only $1,000,000, which is 75 per cent,
less than the average of all the other mining
companies of tbe 0. S., many of which have
only a single mine.
EXPERT EVIDENCE.
Mining experts of great practical experi-
ence have thoroughly examined tbe property
of this company, and speak of it as of unus-
ual promise.
Mr. D. T. Elmork, who has been engaged
in mining on the Pacific Coa9t for thirty
years, and who has worked on the Comstock
mines, believes these mines to be as great and
rich as the Corastock mines. As to Mr. El-
mere's trustworthiness, U. S. Seualor Phile-
tus Sawyer, of Wisconsin, one of the
wealthiest and most conservative men of the
country , says: "I know Mr. D. T. Elmore
very well. Have had considerable to do
with him ,and always found him trustworthy
and reliable in every particular."
Francis D. Taylok, an eminent Eugllsh
miaiug engineer, who is endorsed as to abil-
ity and Integrity by tbe President of the
Wabasu Western It. R., by the Cambria Iron
Works of Johnstown , Pa., and others, and
who has had great experience in his pro-
fession, has made a careful examination of
the property, extending over about two
weeks. He tested the ore in the 'Jessie Ben-
ton"mine, and fouhd it to average SO ounces
to the ton. Ore below the water level gave
194 ounces to the ton. He says that if prop-
er machinery were put to work with one
vein In this mine ore would be produced In
sufficient quantify to supply a twenty-stamp
mill (which product, by the way, would be
equal to §3(30,000 clear profit per year, or 36
per ctnj . ol tbe entire capital stock). This
from one vein of oae mine, and not the best.
His examination of the "Tom Benton"mine
showed ore analyzing 140 ounces to tbe ton .
The "Golden Eagle"mine developed 5ounces
of silver aud S12.50 gold to the ton, aud this
in a teat shaft s^uuk only 60 feet. In "The
Desert §26,000 of bullion has already been
taken out , in opening it. In Nos. 2 aud 3
shstfU in"Ked Peach" mine the ore yields
35 2 ounces to the ton. The other niiues
have not yet been thoroughly examined , but
they show good indications.
Mr. J. H. IUttenhouse, a well-known
miuiug engineer of Seranton, Pa., who has
three times gone over the property, says:—
"I have been in a good many mining camps
iu Colorado, New Mexico acd Arizona, and
never saw any better indications on the sur-
face of ore iu such quantity and of such high
grade anywhere as in the Tortilita Camp.
"I believe the Benton will prove itself to
be one of the richest mines in Arizona. All
indications point that way.''
Mr. George E. Stone, of Seranton, Pa.,
wbo was at oae tjme Superintendent of one
of the mines, says of the ''Jessie Benton"
mine: "A little capital expended in system-
atic work will develop a very rich mine, and
unless I am much mistaken, this will prove
the most valuable mine in Southern Arizona."
U. S. Mint Bureau Reports.
The annual reports of the U. S. Mint Bu-
reau (reports which cannot possibly be
charged with Interested motives) say of these
mines : "The principal mine [in the Owl's
Head District] is the Jessie Bentan. * * *
A ehaft 54 feet in depth on a vein of ore 20
inches wide yields $425 to the ton in tjlver
and |
5 In gold." A.drift from another shaft
"yields an average assay of $35
,0 to the ton in
silver," l!The mine Is being systematically
opened and thoroughly developed, and the
work already done was in view of this end
rather than to the taktug out of the ore."
''There are places where the 'pay' is two feet
thick and the whole of it very rich." "The
Desert mine continues to improve as depth is
attained. It snows a compact and solid pay
streak full five feet wide." ?'The Lone Will
and By Chance * in 35 assays taken from
ore in the vein have produced an average of
§240 per ton." This, remember, is a govern-
ment report.
D. C. Hughes, an expert, editor of the
Tucson (Arizona) Star, says In tbe issue of
July 35,1887;-r
"TiiE Tortblitas have been from the be-
ginning and are now worked for the money
which is in them. They stand on merit,and
as such they have paid handsome profits from
the cropping^ down and from the day the
first pick was struck In their development."
The leading managers of the Tortilita Gold
and Silver Mining Company are men ©f un-
questioned character. Mr. Jos. H. ^.eall,the
President,isPresident of the American Agri-
cultural and Dairy Association, a position
which alone endorses him.
Those wishing to invest, can get full infor-
mation, circulars, &c, by applying by letter
or personally to Joseph H. Reall, 48 Congress
street, Boston,or S7 Broadway. Sew York.
Shares $2 each, in any size lots, thus giving
the small Investor equal chance with larger
ones.
Specimens of tha ore from the different
minesand complete drawings of tbe property
are on exhibition at the company's office ,42
Congress street,and Mr. Taylor,the engineer
who examined the mines, will explain to all
interested.

The exemplification of the blue-lodge
degrees, as advertised iu our recently is-
sue, came off atHyannislast Wednesday
under the direction of R. W. Bro.Avery,
Grand Lecturer. There wasalarge turn
out of masons from the Cape although
some lodges were rather sllmly repre-
sented. Fraternal of Hyannis, who acted
as host of the occasion, had 25 members
present. St.Martin'sof Chatham showed
up next and led all the other lodges in
numbers—she had 20 masons present
with their W. M., Dr. B. D. Gifford .
The occasion was one which was great-
ly enjoyed by all present ; there was
that indefinabl e cordial something in the
air which always pervades a masonic
gathering. The Fraternals did them-
selves proud as hosts. The dinner of
turkey with appropriate fixings was
hugely enjoyed by the hundred hungry
masons. As a social gathering it was a
pronounced success. The lodge work
was duly praised by Bro.Avery,although
we opine (sub-rosa) that some of the
praise was perfunctory. Our lodges
ought to put in more solid work. If they
did'the customary compliments of the
Grand Lecturer would be well merited.
We would suggest that the tiling of the
lodge room was open to criticism. Doubt-
less these improvements will be attended
to iu future meetings. Such fraternal
gatherings are very enjoyable and do
much to cement the brotherhood of the
district. R. W. D. D. G. M. Hannum,
who was grand master of ceremonies
and arranged all the details, deserves as
no doubt he receives, the thanks of the
brethren.
