The JOURNAL is informed. bv what
1t deems to be competent authority.
that valuable mineral discovery has
been made in Mason county, and near
Shelton. The ore is said to be galena,
of good grade, and, if for nothing else.
will be valuable as fluxing ores at the
smelters down Sound. The parties
who made the discovery are keeping
the matter very quiet until they can
secure the land; but other parties are
onto the find also, and an interesting
muddle is likely to ensue. We are
glad to hear that real mineral dis
coyery has been made, who eyer the
discoveries may be, and trust twill be
developed. If one mine has been dis
covered in this locality, dozens of
others win be found.
The Shelton public schools will close
next Friday afternoon after a session
OF nine months-a term longer than
most schools of Washington have had.
There will be closing exercises in each
OF the rooms, but there will not BE-
much OF an extra spread, for the teach
ers have wisely deemed it best to keep
right along in the regular work o.
hearing recitations and conducting
| final examina tions rather than L
spend much time in preparing an ella
borate program Of closing exercises
