Hamilton, as she had given general
satisfaction in the past. and. also, for
the reason that the patrons of the
school representing over 80 per cent.
of the children of the district, to whom
the money belongs, petitioned said
Board of Directors to employ Miss
Hamilton to teach said school, as they
believed that she would be of more
benefit 10 the children of said district
than new teacher would be. Fitz-
patrick said, as far as he was concern
ed. he would pay no attention to the
petition at all. McClurg said If they
wanted lady teacher they had better
elected some one else director. Nc
Clurg proposed to meet the following
Saturday and ii they could not agree
had better quit; also thought it only
necessary to have one director and let
the people petition for a teacher.
The Board ordered levy of Is cents
on the 500, for Teachers Fund. and
5 cents Incidental Fund. AS there
was nothing but unfinished business
appearing on the programme the meet

BELLEvIEw, Mo-. April 18. 1896.
District No. 1. township 35, range 8
| east, School Board met, all the Direc-
tors being present. The meeting was
called to order by the President.
First order of business, contracting
for teacher for the ensuing term.
Those presenting applications for the
school were as follows: j. M. Hawk
ins, a. B. Young, J. H. Turner, Phil
| lip Hartman, j. S. Sizemore. Jesse
Hale. Miss Breckenridge and Miss
Hamilton. The President, Mr.. Bor-
ing, in a neat little speech to the
| Board proposed to contract with Miss
Hamilton for the spring term, as he
felt in duty bound to grant the wishes
of the majority of the patrons of the
school. Said he thought he would be
doing great injustice to the petition
ers to ignore their petition, and that
he was sworn to serve them to the
best interest of the district, and that
he would do SO at any and all times.
Fitzpatrick was in favor of contracting
with Jesse Hale. McClurg was in
favor OF man, as he had a boy to
send. Fitzpatrick left the hiring of a
teacher to Boring and McClurg.
Moved and carried unanimously that
the Proceedings of the Board be pub
lished in the IRON COUNTY REGISTER.
There appearing nothing but unfin.
ished business on the programme, the
meeting adjourned.

Live Stock Points.

4 report in the London Graphic of a
live stock show in the fen country re-
veals that the huge, soft. heavy draft
horse is falling into disfavor even in
Great Britain. The Graphic says, "Buy-
ers are asking, we believe, for a little
more quickness and a little less weight
Here, then, is a chance for the live
American draft horse breeder to get in
good work. If he does not, French horse
breeders will with Percherons. 1t is
richly worth while for the American
horse raiser to try for the British mar
ket with his strong, lively grade Clydes-
dales and Percherons.
1t sounds rather strange to hear there
is to be an exhibition of breeding cat
tie, sheep and hogs at Madison Square
Garden, New York city, the last week
in November. The thing will not be SO
much of a show if it depends only on
the farmers" around New York city.

stock at Madison Square Garden, New
York city, the last week in November.
Prizes are very fair, ranging all the way
from $3.50 to $40.
The scrub horse is finding his right
place at last. 1t is in the fertilizer fac
tory.
A firm in central Ohio is buying up
worthless horses for their hides, grease,
bones and fertil,zing capacity, making
a good thing out of it. They pay often
less than So apiece for the animals.
Whenever you buy animals of any
kind, always quarantine them for a
time before permitting them to mingle
with the others on the farm. You know
not what disease may be lurking about
them.
The Shropshire sheep appeared in
splendid form at several of the British
live stock shows this season.

Some people don't understand the
meaning of the flags used by the beau
reau. We went to Virginia City the
other day to study them for u own
information, and when we got there it
was showing so hard we could scarcely
see the flags, but after a little, we OBJ
served that the flag was a white one
with a black penant above it. The
explanations say these flags mean fair
weather and warmer. So we have con-
cluded to take the flags as they near
and not as they say. Our feelings to-
ward those flags are similar to the
Spaniards, to the stars and stripes.
Since those flags have been displayed
we have had all kinds of weather and
times three or four kinds at once.
AS long as those flags continue to flop
we would advise on leaving home
to take with him an overcoat, gum
coat, fur coat, overshoes, slippers, dus-
ter, umbrella and fan: REX.

GRAVEL RANGE MINING COMPANY
1t Files Articles of Incorporation-I Its
Aims and Objects.

1t Files Articles of IncorporatiOn-It Its
Aims and objects.
The articles of incorporation of the
Gravel Range Mining Placer Co., we're
filed in the Office of the county clerk
this week. The life of the
ton is placed at 20 years and it is cap
italized at 100, 900 shares at a par value
OF 81 each. 1t will operate in placer
on Ruby creek. L. Benton Letter is
president; Thomas H. Teal, secretary;
A.. j. Bennett, treasurer and w. A.
Clark, counsel. The trustees are the
first three named.
The infant company starts out with
unusually bright prospects. A fair
portion of the 5000 shares of treasury
stock has already been disposed Of at
273 cents per share.
Mr.. Il. Benton Letter, the president,
is now in Chicago in the INTEREST of the
company, and has already succeeded in
placing large blocks of the stock
among his many friends.
Mr.. T. H. Teal, the secretary, will
shortly interview his friends in Monta-
ma and offer them the chance to get in
on the ground floor. 1t will be but a
matter of a month or SIX weeks before
active work will be commenced. Mr..
Teal declined to go into details of the
future plans of the company, but
promised at a later date to give the
MAD1soN1AN full particulars together
with many interesting facts concern
ing the c%ompany's property.
The region to be developed is one of
unusual richness and promise, and the
developments will be watched with
deep interest by hundreds of placer
miners uot only in Madison county,
but throughout the state. The success
or failure of the Gravel Range Mining
Company, will probably settle the vex-
ed question OF whether the Alder gulch
gold came from the Gravel range or
was of local origin. The fact that the
gold mines in the mountains surround
ing Alder gulch are largely contami-
mated with silver and are not free cold
properties, and the further fact that
both Alder and Ruby gulches tap the
old channel of the Gravel range, which
is positively known to be Intensely rich
would seem to prove that the gold in
both these places had a common origin.
Notwithstanding the 500, 600, 900 in
gold placed to the credit of Alder
gulch and the consequent impetus one
would naturally suppose would be Civ
en- to placer mining in the adjacent
gulches, the strange and unaccounta-
BILE fact remains that not a single hole
has ever been sunk to bed rock in any
OF these gulches lying on what is
known as the Madison side of the
Gravel range.
Thousands of dollars have been tax
Gu from the bars on Wigwam and West
Fork creeks, while the bars in Ruby
creek have been proven to be rich, but
in no case has the bed rock itself been
exposed.
Many of our richest treasures of min
eral wealth in old mining districts
have been trampled ruthlessly and
carelessly under foot for years and
years, until outside parties come
among us and gather a rich harvest
from under our noses while we, morti-
fed and chagrined, silently conduct
ourselves into the innermost recess of
