SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.
The School Year Terminates with a Happ%
Conclusion at Cottonwood Hall.

Ill.
The commencement exercises with
which the closing of the schools were
signalized at Cottonwood hall last Friday
were of a most creditable character and
indicated as we'll much conscientious toll
on the part of teachers as industrious
study among the pupils during the past
year.
The drills, songs, dialogues and recita~
tions given in the morning by the chill
dren Of all departments below the high
school, under the skillful training of the
several teachers, were especially COM
mended. The bow and arrow drill, under
Miss Wiles' management, was particu-
larly fine, perfect time and ryttm having
been maintained throughout.
The "Realm Of Time,n which took up
the greater part of the evening, was
highly creditable and was picturesque
and pretty representation. It was pre-
pared by Miss BERTHE Robinson, who se-
lected the text, the music and the marches
from different sources, producing pleas
ing medley therefrom which made a har-
monious whole The entire arrange
ments were under charge Of Prof Wolfe
and they show an intelligent and palms.
taking management. Prof. Wolfe is to
be complimented on the character of the
schools Of which he has charge, as also
are the efficient teachers who SO ably
assist him.
The graduates, Miss Mabel S. Catlin
and Walter E. Adams, acquitted them
selves with high merit, and the generous
| gifts OF flowers with which they were
bonored show the appreciation in which
their labors are held by those who came
to witness the crowning event Of their
school triumphs. Rev. Klene presented
the dinlt mas with a feeling and eloquent
address.
Cottonwood hall was packed on Friday
night with the largest audience that has
ever assembled within its walls.

THE PRIZE MINE.
Bricks Of Gold from Deer Lodge County
BonanZa-Wealtll Untold.


Bricks Of Gold from Deer Lodge County
Bonanza-Wcalth Untold.
Last week Charles M. Dohson, super
intendent of the Prize mine at Granite
Butte, brought into Helena four gold
bricks, the cleanup Of the mine for one
week, amounting to several thousand
dollars. The Hearst estate, represented
by Mr.. Dobson, has the Prize under bond
and he made the second payment Of $780,
900 on the mine the day after bringing in
the bricks. In a conversation with a re-
porter the superintendent stated that the
Prize is situated in what he believes will
eventually prove to be one Of the richest
gold and silver districts in the world. He
states that he has exported mining prop
critics in Arizona, California, Colorado
and New Mexico, but he has never been
in a district that gave more tlattering
mineral promise than that which sur
rounds the Prize.
The Jay Gould, which lies but short
distance from the Prize, is one OF the
best producers in the region, and in the
ven-Up Pete district, lying near, are
some profitable properties. Recently ex
perts representing Marcus DAILY have
been in the camp and their reports are
said to have been extremely favorable as
to several but partially developed pros
| poets. "

resentatives of the Northwest Magazine,
and the number for that month contained
an exhaustive description OF the mine.
We quote from the article as follows:
"The Prize mine is situated on the
south fork Of Poorman, in Deer Lodge
county, 1G miles from Marysville, and is
in a thickly timbered and we'll watered
region. Hundreds Of cords of wood have
been cut and lie piled through the en-
composing forest The Prize was dis
covered by the Murray brothers, II. P.
and William, the owners. in 1890 Two
years ago they began development work
and sunk a shaft 300 feet at an incline of
45 on the vein. Afterwards a cross cut
tunnel was driven to the vein ut the 100
level for air and drainage. About 100
feet north of the shaft is an air raise from
the 100 level to the surface. Two hun
dred and forty feet north Of No. | shaft
is No. 2, which is over the north 100foot
drift. The total number of feet Of drift
ing On the mine is about 1000. On the
surface the vein is opened by about 900
feet Of cut, which shows true fissure veins
and first class bodies Of ore."
Since the above was written Mr.. Dob
son, who took charge for the Hearst es
tate in October, has extended the shaft
down $50 feet and run several levels
