SCHOOL NOTES.

Queenie Hickman has returned
from her visit to Toponis.
Every scholar enrolled for the
month in the upper room, was pres
ent to-day,
The essays written by the rhe-
toric class on the parts of speech,
were very entertaining.
The Crescent society, on last Fri
day was not up to the usual stand
ard. Whose fault was it?
The high school needs a new
dictionary, and will then give their
old one to the intermediate room.
The primary room is crowded,
but Mrs. Burnsides keeps the little
ones busy and the walls of her room
indicate what children can do.
There is to be a discussion at
school Thursday between bold
Spartan and noble Athenian and
in which the history class will take
part.
The library books are all num-
bered and classified as reference,
biogra phical, historical, essays and
lectures and fiction. Master Harry |
presides as librarian.
This was the week of examina-
tons and all of the scholars seem
to be improving in their studies,
The general history class will not
De examined until next week, that
hey may complete Grecian history.

! Dear Sir:-"Just think about it. F"
Japan was such an empire as to be
secluded and isolated for hundreds
of years from the reciprocal con
nections with any foreign powers;
it was finally awakened and per-
suaded by the presidential coun-
trymen OF the Monroe Doctrine; :;
and the peculiar people OF Orient
were taken on board of the Ameri-
can fleet and were educated and
American aided under the expenses
Of the United States government
it was about the middle of the pres
ent century. You can hardly deny
that Japan to the United States
was the sinilitude Of the child to
the parents, and now the child
grown up metaphorically, wearing
the necessary equipment sufficient |
to confront any powers on the
earth.
Up to the present, down to the
generation the japanese are pre-
iicted to be prosperous, not because
the empire is developing in short
of time, but because the
commencement of the country was
lnder that Monroe Doctrine.
Therefore you are not astonished
o know that the bare name of
American is. a passport in Japan,

SULPHUR MINES HINT
TO BLACK RANGE MINERS.

A company of Pittsbure capital
lists, represented by J. A, Dubbs
and Graham Caldicott, with head
quarters in Yuma, have commenced
active development of the sulphur
mines in Lower California, about
thirty-two miles west of Yuma and
SIX miles from the Colorado river.
Recent developments have revealed
almost incalcuable quantities of
ore which assays so per cent pure
sulphur, and can be shipped in the
crude state to the eastern refneries
at handsome profit.
The method of mining the ore is
simplicity personiiied Wagons
are driven into deep vertical cuts,
the walls of which are sulphur,
and the ore is simply broken down
and loaded into the wagons below
by means of chutes. The ore is
combustible and burns readily il
lighted with a match. The Yuma
Sentinel thinks a sulphur refinery
is one of Yuma'e possibilities and
will probably be established within
the next two years.
