GREAT GOLD DISCOVERY.
Buffalo Hump the Scene Of
Excitement.

EXCiC0m0nC.
Florence Miner.
Last Saturday news of a won
derfnl gold discovery on Buffalo
Hump reached Florence.
Chas. Robins and B. r. Rigley
made the discovery. They outfit
ed here about three weeks ago.
The ledge they discovered is
from 80 to 30 feet wide and crops
out of the ground for fully 1000
feet, it il mineralyzed throughout.
Excitement here runs at fever
heat, and every man who could
get a horse has left for the new
strike.
People here were skeptical at
first, and thought it was a scheme
of the men to get a grubstake, but
when they saw the ore that Rob-
ins and Rigley brought in they be-
gan to investigate, and finding
that it all showed gold by pan test,
there soon was an excitement
started and before night there
were y number of men on the
trail for Buffalo Hump.
When the men returned they
confirmed all that the prospectors
had said.
The values in this rock arr
something phenomenal for a ledg'
of its size. Samples assayed b,
J. R. Wolf, of this place gives til,
following returns:
Sample No. /, the wall rock
ST. As silver, q trace of gold.
Sample No. 2, an average of q
feet of the ledge-$34.S1 in golt
and silver.
Sample No. 8, an average 0
nine feet Of the ledge-$45S.17 il
gold and silver.
Sample No. 4, an average o
three feet of the ledge-$7l2. II il
gold and silver.
The samples from the ledge CAV
about one eighth of their value il
silver.
While some of the experts VIII
have examined the property ar
of the opinion that these figure
are too high, they all agree tina
it is wonderfully rich and that tn
vein is mineralized throughout.
Another test was made by pal
ties who have just returned Of a
average sample from the Big Blu
falo lone of Robins and Rigley'
claims). The sample weighed on,
half pound, and was pounded u
and amalgamated in q hand mo
tar. It gave 3 ga cents, maxim
the ore worth $3.50 per ton.
We learn that 1880 feet of I'll
vein has already been traced an
located, with five or six location
on . parallel vein. A few claim
have been taken up as placer, an
prospect we'll.
The course of the vein is almo
due north and south. The coul
try formation is a coarse grant
and rudely porphyritic. The
seems to be q great deal of schis
but very little mica to be see
The schist is most notable on tt
east and is to be found alongsit
the outcroppings.
Buffalo Hump is supposed
have an altitude of $500 fee
The new camp will be betwet

Men who have prospected al

through in about five days. Qui

To the Patrons of Ironton Public
Schools,

At present there are one hundred
and eighty-four pupils enrolled in the
white school; and ifty-four in the col
ored school. twelve of whom are from
Pilot Knob district. This is, indeed, a
decided increase in the white school
compared with previous years, but a
falling off in the colOred school.
The enumeration books for this year
show that there are two hundred and
sixty-one white children who are en-
titled by law to free schooling in this
district, and seventy-eight colored
children. Thus, you see seventy-seven
white children and thirty-six colored
children are depriying themselves, or
are being deprived of an education.
Whose fault is it? That we have eff
fcient teachers, think is unquestion-
ed; that the course of study is suf-
| fciently thorough and advanced, at
present, we invite your inspection
that the teachers are anxious and So
licitous in getting all children of the
district to attend, is also true. Then,
what can be done to get these children
in school? Patrons, we plead for your
help. You have as good, perhaps a
better opportunity of ascertaining who
these children are, than the teachers.
An encouraging, kind word from you
to child may be the means of making
| that child a better citizen. You can
do a great and good work along this
line. Will you? Let US all join hands
to build up our schools and to make
| better citizens.
AS to the moral surroundings of your
children to and from school and at
school, we give our special and devot-
ed attention. At the same time, that
the most effective work along this line
may be done, we earnestly ask for
your cooperation. Should you see
any misconduct on the part of any
pupil, we would take it very kindly, if
you would inform US of the same, at
once. You can rest assured your name
will not be mentioned as the inform
ant. Most pupils should be home
within fifteen minutes after dismissal.
If they are not. you may know that
they have whiled away a part of the
time. Teachers are not expected to
detain children after school. There
are some exceptional cases, however.
How are your children spending
their evenings? Those in the High
School department should put in at
least an hour and half IN home study;
those in the Grammar grade about an
hour, providing they are not disabled.
Look over their home study closely,
parents, if you please. At this age
you can't do too much for your child
rem. Should they tell you they know
their lessons perfectly each day, 1t is
possible a mistake will occasionally be
made. Ask their teacher and notice
the report card.
Very Respectfully,
r. E. WILKINSON.
