The mass niootinu was called fol
lowing a corre-pondence between Hu
bert S. Towne, of New York, owner
of the Rlue Ledge copper properties,
and Dr. J. F. Heddy ol this city, in
which Mr. Towne stnted that if such
a road was constructed that ho would
at once dovohm and operate tho mine
guaranteeing a minimum output of.
'JO00 tons of concentrates per month.
The necessity of a payroll iu this sec
tion led many bu-iness men to sug-go-t
n movement to have a road built
to the mine, and a- a result last
night's meeting was called. Husinoss
men of the city responded well to
the call, over ."100 of them being pros,
