twelve-foot vein of pure quartz has
Just been uncovered which assays
$35 in gold and about So in silver
to the ton. This vein was struck
about quarter of mile from the
old workingsvaes tbs same brook.
Just how much Of this gold-bear,ng
quartz has been uncovered is not
learned, but there IS enough in sight
to make the president of the com.
pauy, DR.. Fagn ang, very enthusi-
astlc over the prospect, and accord
ing to The Ages informant it is the
best strike yet made in the state.
The same vein, though narrower,
crops out at several points higher up

A force of six men is now at
work there and DR.. Fagnang says
that a large number of men will he
put on If the strike holds out. New
machinery will also be purchased
the company already has a crusher--
and the work OF development thor
oughly done.

farm in that vicinity, on which con-
siderable gold is supposed to b,

Many desirable offices are within the

this information by sending 10 cents TO

"U. S. Blue Book" showing all govern
ment offices and salaries with Civil Ser
vice rules, sample examination ques-
tions, etc. Under present laws women
stand an equal chance with men for
positions that insure a comfortable in
come for life. The "Blue Book" gives
complete instruction for Office seekers OF
both sexes, and is besides valuable
book of reference much i'll demand.

The lecture by Rev. DR.. Thomas OF
Ionia Monday night was one of the best
of the kind ever given i'll this village.
The views We're frst-class, tastily and
artistically colored. The doctor is fully
alive to his subject and handles it in a
manner highly pleasing to his hearers
His gift of language and powers of de-
scription rival the best, while his
sentences, choice of language and well
rounded periods delight and charm the
hearers.
The attendance was very large and
the financial results very satisfactory.
The department of Art is TO be con-
graduated on securing the services of
such master of rhetoric and art.
1t is sincerely hoped that the depart
ment will not stop here, but give us
more lectures of kindred nature from
time TO time.
Although this is branch which has
been neglected in the past, so far as
financial aid was concerned, Miss Booth
has kept it well up to the high standard
and labored untiringly for the welfare
and advancement of her students, foi
which she is deserving of highest praise
May the future bring more and more
of gifts and support to this, one of the
grandest departments of our College.

THE ALMA BUTTER MAKER.
TO RENT.
Plumbing and Heating.

Short Sketch OF the Man who Heads
this Industry.
Few people III Alma appreciate the
boon which the farmers III this vicinity
have in the shape of the Alma Creamery.
While similar institutions have been
started i'll many localities i'll Michigan
and failed, ours has fiOurished.
The farmer commands good price
for his cream, in cash, is thus saved of
the work of converting it into butter,
and still makes a good margin above
the old process.
Eleven years ago George Hutchinson
came TO Alma TO take charge of this
creamery, and to his careful and untir-
ing energies large amount of its sue
cess is due.
Mr. Hutchinson was born in the hills
Of Madison county, New York, i'll 1916,
where he lived assisting his father on
the farm and attending school winters
until the age of eighteen. He then de-
cided to 90 into the creamery and cheese
business as a professional, and to that
end went to Oswego, New York. Dur
ing his career in this line of work he
has been associated with the OswcgC
Cheese Company of Oswego, New York
The McMullen Cheese Company; Port
Byron Cheese Company; Fennerhil4
Creamery Company and the 7. w
Gidley Company of Fayetteville, New
York.
On June 2lst, 1866, he was married tC
Miss Mary G. Block of Chittenaugo
New York. Three children Were borl
to them, two of whom are still living
Though Mr.. Hutchinson has only beer
here since 1856, he has devoted his ener
gies and support to the interests of oul
little village, always being on the side
looking toward progress. He has /
wide Iame i'll this part of Michigan as
successful creamery man and butte
maker, his product always command
ing fancy price in the markets.

cessful Sunday School Conventions ever

j. w. Ewing gave an enthusiastic adj
dress on, "The relation Of the Sunday

exercises conducted by Rev. w. f

III. w. Clough for his careful and in
structive address. He made strong
plea for deeper missionary teaching IL
the school to the end that more childreI

missions, and thus taught to give o
their means and perhaps their lives t.
