To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The water power of the Black river is now worth no one's scheming. "The Cheever" and "Seventy-five" put no large taxes into the hands of the collector, nor do they furnish voters for II I STONY OF WKSTI'Oirr 11 town meeting day. Rather lias the town doled out its meagre charity to the poor who were left stranded at Sevent3'-five for years after the mines shut down. To- day I believe there are no more souls to be found there than lived ou the dry, hilly farms before ore began to be raised from t...he Thompson shaft, and the short, l)right day of its prosperity dawned. Giving measurements which do not claim to be exact, but close enough to give a good general idea of the ex- tent of the town, the length of the north line is about nine miles, and that of the south line five miles. From the north-east corner, where the Essex line touches the lake, to the south-west corner at the mining hamlet of "Seventy-five, " as the crow flies, it is about thirteen and one-half miles. If the same crow should fiy from the mouth of Black river to the Moriah line, he would go a little less than nine miles, and if he flew from the mouth of the brook in the village, straight west from the lake shore until he came to the town line at Black river, he would go four and one-half miles.
