BONDED.
Two More Mining Properties Ready to
be Made BOnanzas.

The Molly McGregor mine, lying
in the boulder district has been at
tracing considerable attention for
the past year because of the valuable
ore extracted from its internal work
lngs. The mine is owned by John
H. Curtis, J. R. Boyce, Jr., A.. G..
Clark, and Col. CD. Curtis.
Development OF the mine has
proven the early prediction as to its
value. A vertical shaft has been
sunk 10 feet on a vein of ore and
from the ITO it station levels were
run SO feet east and west in bodies of
hands,m nut galena ore which assays
from rs OF to 125 OF in silver and go
per cent lead. The workings give
such evidence of true flssure vein
that MI. c. Moore recently took the
mine udder bond for a Connecticut
company and will work it tor one
year. One fourth of the ore extracted
goes to the present owners. Speci-
mems of the ore may be seen at the
office of Curtis and Majors.
THE PARNELL
lode, adjoining and south of the Ge-
neva, owned by P. j. Hamilton and
J. H. Curtis is now under bond 10 a
California company represented by
w. II. Davis of San Francisco. The
Parnell vein is opened by several
shafts from Is to 20 tt in depth each
one of which shows the vein. Several
tons of ore r on the dump. TIL
assays show from As to $50 OF silver
The ore is free milling and easily
extracted. The bond runs for six
months and one fourth of the ore
taken out goes to the owners provid-
the mine is not taken. Those famil-
lar with the ores and the location are
satisfied that the property requires
but a touch of the hammer to make
it one of the best paying claims IN
Silver Bow county. Work will be
heavily prosecuted in the early spring.

Transcontinental Freight Traffic.

rEcAxAAt AEAAAcs
CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-The Pacific
Coast Association, (the roads between
Chicago, st. Louis aud the Missls-
souri, river interested in the Califor.
mia freight traffic. has succeeded in
abolishing the spe cial contract sys-
tenn on CALIFORNIA freight. The sys-
tenn has been in vogue for many years
past, by which the Central Pacific
was permitted to make special rates
for such shippers (about one-thId of
the regular tariff rates. as would
make a contract not to ship any of
their business by the Pacific Mail
Steamship line or clipper ships, hut
to send it by all rail routes. The
roads east of the Missouri river and
the eastern trunk lines had to prOrate
with the California lines at those low
contract rates. AT the end Of last
year, the Pacific Coast Association
decided to not join the transc0ntinent-
al association in any of its contracts,
and insisted on the regular agreed
r .tes, to be charged to all shippers
alike.
All the eastern trunk,lines are backed
up by the Pacific coast association in
this matter, the trans-cOntinetal had
no other alternative than to submit
to the demand of its eastern connie
nectiOns. The trans-continental,
therefore has given notice that all
contracts expire on January lst, and
hereafter no special contracts Of any
kind will be made, but that regular
rates will be charged, adopted in
this city about a month ago. The
Central Pacific has also agreed with
the trunk lines to take no more
business via the Sunset route from
interior points in New York and New
England; but to can6ne Its compe-
titi0n by that route only to business
originating at Sea board points.

There was q young maiden named Kate,

CleVeAand's administration
ALBANY, Jan. 6.-Gov. Hill in his
message to the legislature says: ut
may be safely asserted that the ad-
ministration of Gov. Cleveland for
two years past more than met the
just expectations of the people, and
has made its lasting impression in
the annals of the state. It has been
brilliant in its sterling integrity, safe
In its conservitis!, bold in its efforts
for reform, faithful i'll its adherence
to pledges, and vigilant IN opposition
to corruption. Its straightforward
and business like conduct, united
with an unquesti0ned honesty of
purpose, has Won for it and for him
self the warm approval of his politi-
cal friends and the sincere respect of
his opponents. and the answering
and unselfish support of independent
citizens everywhere. That he may
meet with the same degree of success
in the greater Office to which he has
been called, is the earnest wish of all
the citizens of this state and of every
lover of good government.

out not long since, came to Mexico
last Monday night to see his wife and
was arrested by Constable Baskin
before he had time to get home from

sent to jail Tuesday for thirty days
on the charge that he drove off a

gage on. The man who gets away
from Sam Morris is a daisy. We
presume when Carson gets out of jail
he will call around and settle a small

THE INSTITUTE.
List Of Teachers In Attendance-Notes

The institute held at this place
under the supervision Of Prof. Ham,
i'll, of Jacksonville, ILL.,, is a grand
and glorious success and the interest
taken in it seems to geometrically in
crease as the two weeks term nears
its end. All agree As with one voice
that the present session is decidedly
the more successful in all respects
than any Of its predecessors. This is
as it should be. 1t means better
methods of teaching and consequent
ly more successful work in the school
room. Audrain is justly proud of its
normal institute. The time is quick
" coming when next to a certificate
from the county commissioner a Ger
tifcate of attendance from the nor
NAL institute will be the best recon-
mendation a teacher can produce.
Below We give the names of the mem
bers of the institute, their postonce
address and place of teaching, SO far
as we could learn. If you are a d.
rector or friend Of education cut this
out and paste it in your scrap book.
1t means something, therefore is val
liable. 1t shows at a glance who is
trying to improve their method of
teaching and qualify themselves by
keeping abreast of the times in edu-
cational methods and who is content
to be a veritable ''Squeers." jogging
along in the ruts. Look for your
teachers name and if you don't find
it in the list give him a gentle re-
hinder about once u week during
the coming year and next session he
will surely be on hand. The teach.
ers of Audrain owe Prof. Hamill
much for the able manner in which
he has conducted the institute and
the many precept points he has given
them. Long may he live to carry on
the grand work of developing and
~perfecting a higher and better sys.
tenn of education.

in Institutes.
The geography class wonders if
that mammoth taller MIR. Ragsdale

while out west.
The lecture by Rev. Pfanstiehl was
replete with thought and well deliv-
cred. The able manner in which he
handled his subject ("The Demands
of the Age'') left no room to doubt
his ability as a lecturer.
1t seems that Prof. (?) j. M.
Davis is somewhat peculiar, He
came to the Institute last week, en-
rolled in several classes, and took an
active part generally. This week he
is missing and it has been ascertained
that he was not a member, never
having paid the necessary 50 and en-.
rolled with the Secretary.
What Is the matter with the teach
ers of Mexico? Why amt they at
tending the institute? Can it be thai
they are behind the rest of the county
in educational interest? 1t seems
that the citizens of Mexico are awake
to the Importance Of institute worl
but the teachers with one or two ex
ceptions are not attending the insti
tute from some cause or other. Ca,
it be that they r so nigh perfec
they can learn no more?
|, The sympathy Of the Institute
hereby solicited IN behalf of an unfor
