THE BARE HILLS DISTRICT.
Bare Hills Times.
According to all accounts the Hill
lard mill will begin active operations
this coming week, they already have
some ore in the bins, all the machinery
with the exception of the conveyor,
is in place, belts all on and if no
breakdown occurs the mill will make
it first run of ore this coming week.
We expect great things from it.
A new strike of ore running from
SIT to $50 and about six feet in
width was made in the Fannie L
shaft at depth of IS feet. The
mine has been equipped with hoisting
apparatus, blower, etc. and sinking
was only resumed the first of last
week and the ore was struck almost

always shown values from four to six
dollars from the surface.
J. A. Yawger has taken contract
to sink to formation and open up tile
vein on the Dalton claim which end
lines with the Junior Order on the
north.
VIM. Maher has commenced work
on the Esmeralda which joins the
Junior Order on the south and is To-
Gated on the same vein. He expects
to get the ore body in about sixty

PARK CENTER CELEBRATION.

Labor Day Bsowout.

Two years and eight months ago
school district No. 80, Park Center,
was unknown in Fremont county
school history. Today it has thirty
children of school age and neat
frame school house of one room,
20x34 feet, erected at cost of $3.50.
Considering that less than three years
ago there was not single dwelling
in the district, and therefore not even
one child, this shows very fair pro
gress.
The school house was completed
and partially furnished last week, SO
the good people Of Park Center con-
cluded to celebrate the occasion in a
beftting manner. The evening OF
labor Day was selected for the blow
out, and by seven o'clock teams be-
gan arriving from every direction,
and at 8 o'clock the little building
was packed with people interested
in education and educators. Many
went out from the city and many
others were there from Orchard Park,

and received full attention. The pro-

listening, each number receiving en-

We illustrate with this the Minnesota
building at the Trans Mississippi Inter-
national Exposition, which is to be held
at Omaha, beginning with June /, and
continue until December 1. The build
ing is one of the group of state build
ings, occupying a park district on an
elevation of ground overlooking the val
ley Of the Missouri. In this group of
state buildings is included New York,
Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Illinois, Ne
braska, Wisconsin, Colorado and some
other of the Western states. The Min
nesota building differs materially from
all these structures, and is likely to
prove one Of the most unique and al
tractive buildings on the grounds. Most
Of the state buildings, as we'll as the
exposition buildings proper. are built of
staff, the material so largely used in
the creation of the White City, at Chi
cago, in 1898. The Minnesota building
is designed to be an exposition in Itself

are now United States volunteer
troops on the Island Of Cuba, or will be

information obtained here it can be
stated as fact that the first expedi-
ton toward Cuban soil has started ana
the outlook is for successful trip.
"Wednesday, May IS, the United
States transport Florida left Port
Tampa with several hundred yolun-
teer troops on board. The passengers
belonged to the regiment of Cuban vol
unteers organized in the lower eXtrem-
ity Of Florida some weeks ago. 1t

they speak Spanish and are more ac-

ment Of volunteers. II this expedition
is a success other troops will be ruched
into the island as soon as possible.

OuN of Minneapolis. The building has
a total length of seventy-ive feet and a
width Of forty-two feet, with a veran-
da twelve feet wide all around it, max
ing the greatest length nearly one hun
dred feet and the greatest width sixty
six feet. The building is not designed
for exhibition purposes, but is to be
used as rendezvous for the Minnesota
visitors to the exposition. On the first
floor there is a spacious hall forty-two
feet by thirty-fve feet. In one end is
located the ladies' parlor, which is -thir-
ty by twenty feet, and which will be
Tastefully Decorated
and furnished daintily. It will be ia
vorite resting place for the Minnesota
ladies who visit the exposition. The
corresponding room, at the other end of
the building, is to be finished in the
style Of a lumber camp, the walls hung
with skins and decorated with trophies
of the chase. A wide stairway leads to
the second floor, where there are two
corresponding rooms. The second floor
is surrounded, also, by a veranda, am
ply shaded by the overhanging roof of
the main building. -~E ~.
The location Of the Minnesota build
ing is one of the best on the ground. 1t
is in close proximity to the Horticult-
ural building, and it is surrounded on
every side by floral exhibits. The build
ings in the immediate vicinity, in addi-
ton to the Horticultural hall, are the
New York, Kansas, Nebraska and LIZ
nois state buildings.
The legislature Of Minnesota made no
appropriation for either this building
or other representation of the state at
the exposition. EARLY in the current
year the attention of Gov. Clough was
brought to the fact that Minnesota was
likely to be the only state west of the
mississippi river which would not be
represented in this exposition, and he
promptly appointed a commission of
representative citizens to devise ways
and means and to prepare exhibits The
commission has succeeded in raising
nearly $4,000, and with this the build
ing here shown will be erected, and ex-
hibits made in the several departments
of the exposition. Minnesota will be
represented in the agricultural building
with an agricultural and horticultural
display. in the Mines and Mining build

Washington, May 24.-Mustering into

course, to-day. Reports received by
Adjt. Gen. Corbin indicate that 100000
volunteers have been mustered. 1t
was expected that the mastering would
be completed by this time, but delay
has been caused by the inadequacy of
the militia, both in numbers and in

Gen. Corbin is Of the opinion that the
quota called for will be filled during
the present week, within thirty days
from the time the orders were sent out
