N. O. City Item: The Bunkie Blade
says that the school affairs of Avoyelles
are in deplorable condition. Only
one ward in the parish has an open
public school This is indeed bad
state of affairs. The Blade says:
These people are compelled to pay taxes,
and many of them are too poor to send their
children to private school Justice demands
that an explain alton be made to the public by
the school board. This is a matter bearing
directly upon the general welfare and pros
perity of the parish, and one in which we are
sorry to say, we are behind every parish in
the State.
Avoyelles parish can hardly resort to
an additional exaction upon the people
in order to provide for schools for the
children of the masses, for everything
that is taxable is already weighted
down with the multiple levee district
tax, in addition to those for ordinary
State and parish purposes. The ''anti''
orators should afford relief from those
"ample funds" which they boast are
lying around loose somewhere.

One week ago the name OF La ri ,ta
City was not named mu h less heard

cold him quarter interest in b is
claim which he s,aked out at once.
He cold second quarter for $3.50.
Samples were then taken to OGDEN
and assayed very fsvorably. His
third quarter found ready sale for
several hundred dollars. More sam.
PIES were brought in and asssyed
very rich.
Meanwhile several other strikes
were male and ores brought in as.
saying 60 to 85 per cen. lead with I6

Copper Is found among the grass
roofs running so per cent pure, with
10 ounces of silver per ton. Anoth>

great many have taken their out.

Ogden equipped one hundred and
City Quits In a single day this week.
The sheep herder has refused $40.
600 for his last quarter interest, and
every ole who goes there, 30 far. has
not returned.
Several Ogden and Salt Like
papers ars minus reporters who were
sent up to investig ate, amt have
thrown OF reportorial duties and
J lined the mad rush for wealth and
staked out their claims. Even the
Associated Press reporter went crazy
with the rest and nothing has been

IRON MOUNTAIN.

The bill creating the county of Diekan-
son, from portions Of Iron, Menominee
and Marquette. passed the senate Thurs
day, and now there is great rejoicing at
Iron Mountain they've been celebrating
ever since and will continue il until next
week. This bill was the cause OF one of
the greatest struggles in the present SEES
sion and victory would have been ours
had Iron Mountain Republicans done
their duty at the last election; they are
to blame for making the bill n party
measure, which alone was all that ever
brought success toit. But we have gained
one point: When the vote OF Dickinson
county il counted il will be found TO be
Republican by huge majority. We
fought, fought hard and lost and now
that we are not in il we may be allowed
TO extend the hand Of decentralization and
good fellowship to the residents oil the
new county, and wish them and theirs
we'll in all the years TO come. The DrA-
MoND DRILL IL proud OF the gentlemen OF
this county, who fought the bill SO hard
and while they met defeat we know their
hearts are in the right place and that
they are men who can be depended on.
Iron county is less six full townships and
to square up we will push n bill now in
the legislature by which an addition oil
eight townships will he made by detach'
ing from Marquette. II orr Democratic

governor signs the bill you will hear
