School Election.

x school election will be held on
the first Mondsy in June for the
purpose of ele..ing three trustees for
the Ketchum school district, when
parents having children of school
age should be on hand to see to it
that men are selected and elected
who have something more than a
nominal interest in the education
Of the children of the town. Who
ever brings child up without an
education inf1icts upon it an ire
parable injury and lifelong hu-
initiation; and unless we take steps
to improve our school facilities at
Ketchum, we shall have the morti-
fication of seeing our children
brought up in that way. Many of
them are fast approaching maturity,
without the advantages they should
have had, and we are without q
public school. That we have not
public money enough to support a
school more than six months in a
a year is admitted, but the money
we have should be carefully and
economically used to pay compe-
tent teachers at reasonable wages,
and school maintained at least
nine months in every year, and we
believe a combined and determined
effort on the part of parents could
do this. It is worth while to make
an effort anyway.

TRERE is a rumor out to the effect
that Captain DeLamar is to be APP
pointed chief of the department of
mines at the Worlds Fair. Should
this turn out to be true, and we
hope it will, the appointment would
be more honor to Idaho than her
four Senator's. DeLamar is a large
mine owner in the State and pub
lie spirited man, and as chief OF
the mining department at Chicago
would be interested and active in
presenting our vast mining resour-
ces fully to the world, as they should
be. This is shown by the liberality
already manifested by him in hav-
ing Idaho fully represented. To
insure this he has let it be known
that he will duplicate any sum that
the people will raise for the exhibit,
up to 100000. The Captain is now
on his way to Europe and while
there promises to look up money
for building railroads in Idaho,
another evidence of his enterprise
and activity.

SMOKY, IDAHO, May 1e, 1891.
Editor Keystone: As f.rtune, according
to all reports, seems to have favored the
prospectors and miners of the country to
. greater or less extent during the past
winter, it is thought but fair that the
world at large should learn, through the
medium of the KEYSTONE, what portions
of good luck have dropped upon this
camp. The snow 10 practically gone, and
Spring is here, the harbinRer OF which
appearc ed on Friday, the 9Th inst, in the
shape of q two wheeled concern, having
the winters accumulation of Uncle Sans
second-class mail matter, which had fall
en- by the wayside, Notwithstanding it
had been duly stamped and forwarded.
On the 18th the first freight team arrived,
bringing supplies for Oliver, Jones &
Turner
The mines operated BY owners and
leasers have done fairly well as = whole.
The King Of the West has now ready
for shipment Is or 80 tons of its high
grade ore, besides its concentrates.
Mr.. joe Reedy, owner in the Tyranis
mine, took out several tons of ore during
the winter. His partner, Mr.. Jas. Nc
Carter, returned from San Francisco, and
is now upon the mine for the summer.
The leasers on the Sunday mine, Messrs.
Shearer, Neasham & Co., continue to take
out ore and their NINE looks we'll.
A strike has been made in the Trade
Dollar, under. lease to Messrs. WOrswick
& Kline, who are deserving of success, as
they have ham mered away all winter
with only mediocre success.
The Silver Star mine, in charge of MIR.
Thomas James, has now ready to ship an
amount of ore exceeding in both quality
and quantity any shipment heretofore
sent out.
Tom Covert, who put in the winter
here on lease of the Potwrestler, has
gone to work his placer ground on Warm
Springs creek. His partner. Joe Reedy,
is representing him here, and is taking
out some good carbonate ore.
The Carrie leasers, Messrs. Oliver,
Jones & Turner, will be the first shippers
from the camp this season. They will
market by the LIST of June twenty-ton
lot as a feeler on the market and test
of the new ore rates, after which they
will ship as the ore comes out.
Mr.. Newt. Rivers has commenced op-
erations on his placer mine, and will
continue through the water season.
The Schultze Bros have run about 200
feet on their gold claim on Little Smoky
and are, they think, near the ledge. II it
assays as we'll below as it did on top they
will put in mill. They have means and
are backed by capital, and it is to be
hoped that they will succeed.
Trusting this will reach you without
being side tracked for the summer, re-
main Yours truly, Ed.

A GOOD advertisement for Idaho
would be to have as many we'll irri-
gated and cultivated farms along
the line of the railroad as possible,
even if some of them have to be
established by real estate dealers
and others interested in settling up
the State. Few sights are more dis
couraging to one unacquainted with
it's fertility Of soil, than sage plain.
1t is in appearance about as perfect
an emblem of desolation as could
be devised, and it so happens that
the U. P. railroad enters the State in
the midst Of one of these wastes OF
NORWOOD, which is only relieved
by an occasional station or embryo
town until Boise valley is reached.
Beyond that to the Payette, and on
again to the Weiser valley, are other
and equally dreary stretches of sage.
This presents Idaho to the stranger
to great and telling disadvantage.
OF course Pacific coast men under
stand the fertility OF this land, and
know that the application of suf-
ficiency of water, to its desert-look-
ing surface will literally transform
it into a garden. But this is not
known to Eastern men, and as they
see little but sagein passing through
the State, they leave it with the inn
preston that Idaho, outside of a
few small valleys, is an uninhabit.
able desert. At least that would
have been our impression when
travelling over the road last fall, had
not years of previous residence in
the State enlightened us as to the
real character of her sage plains.
and waterless plateaus. Whoever
shall devise a method of success
fully disabusing the minds of trav-
elers through the State, in regard
to the facts about our apparently
worthless plains, will deserve to
rank as public benefactor; for
they are an instance in which ap.
pearances belle facts, and retard
the settlement of the State.

IT seems that the general con-
gratulations over the adjournment
of the late legislature were prema-
ture. The supreme courts decision
in the Alta-Lincoln case, and the
neglect of the Legislature to provide
for the election of presidential cleo
tors, will make it necessary to have
an extra session called; and 1t is
probable it will be called for next
winter. Other matters may come
before it when it meets, but as only
such as are set forth in the call OF
the governor can be legislated on,
the session will necessarily be short,
which may be accepted as measure
bly, compensatory of an evil that
must be borne. We are in for an
other session.
