Another momentous strike has been
made in the lie Roi, this time IN the
Slopes midway between the 800 and 0oo
foot levels. Eight feet OF ore has been
uncovered, averaging Is per cent copper,
$50 in gold and 10 ounces in silver,
which, according to present prices OF
copper and silver, gives total value OF
500 10 per ton. With copper at l2'
cents, the copper value alone Is S44 10,
and the silver, at 60 cents per ounce,
is worth So. The new find Is the rich
est that has ever been discovered in the
mine with the exception of the ore III the
Ridpath stope, which carries about equal
values.

there for years, occasionally shipping "A
carload of ore. Their ore body is small,
and they have never felt justified in put
ting on any considerable force, content
inc themselves with working the ground
with two or three men, and occasionally
leasing part of their works. There are
a number of claims in the group on

room for several men working entirely
separate from each other Wherever

being clean and high grade, netting them
from $1,000 to $1,000 per carload above
the freight and smelter charges. They

little over two from the railroad, and
conformity with George Heller, who has
struck ore on the opposite side of the
gulch, they are trying to get a side track

be pushed all winter both on the Yam

ANDRE GERNAUD.

Mr.. Andre Gernaud, an old and

at the age of 70 years.
Mr.. Gernaud, though not sick,
was growing feeble day by day un-

Mr.. Gernaud was one of the old
est and most respected Fronchmen
in this parish, having come here
some forty years ago. He enga-
ged in the mercantile business and
was very successful; He had the
reputation of keeping the very
best goods, and when he sold
something as good, it could be de.
pended upon, he was an honest
merchant. He was a man of re.
tired disposition, and lived entire
ly and constantly with his family
At the time Of his death he was
a director of the Bank of st. Mar
tinville, and he was looked upor
by his co-advisers, as a wise, pru-
dent director, and his advices were
always considered seriously.
Altogether Mr.. Gernaud iivet
the life of a good man, good hus

May he rest in peace.

SATURDAY OCT. %. 1898.
The Industrial School.

The parishes of Iberia and La
fayette are taking some steps to
secure the industrial school which
is to be established in this sena-
torial district, which is composed
of st. Martin, Iberia and Lafay-
cite.
Iberia has already levied a tax
that will give half of the required
amount, which is $4,000 and the
town of New Iberia is expected to
furnish the balances of the money
and the 25 acres of land that are
required by the act establishing
the school.
We believe the location OF that
school in a parish would be OF in
calculable benefit to said parish,
and it seems to us that the police
Jury of St. Martin parish ought to
take up this matter and at once
and if possible secure this school,
If the parish would furnish the
cash necessary we have no doubt
that st. Martinville would secure
the rs acres of land some where
adjoining the town. 1t is useless
to think of establishing the school
in town, because the land requi'
red cannot be secured within the
corporate limits.
We believe the police jury ought
to take up the matter OF once, the
town council ought to do thu
same, the board of trade also
could do some good work in thu
matter, and the people of THU
town as we'll as the whole parish
are deeply interested in getting
this desirable school In our pa
IRISH, and we should make ever.
effort to get it.
The time is ripe to agitate TIT
matter, and we should begin a
once and not let up until we ar
sure of getting this school whicl
will do SO much good to the Who'll
parish, and also to the surround
ing country.
Think of it, parents, of the esta
blishment of school right here
at your home, where your chill
dren will be educated free G
charge, and where they will be g
ven a chance to learn a trad
which will be based upon scient
fc principles.

Foster to remove Mr.. Cormier. In
refusing an Office again from Fos-
ter, Mr.. Cormier is showing some
delicacy, he is right not to receive
an Office from Governor who re-
moved him from the same Office
six years ago.
Now that Mr.. Cormier has refu-
sed to qualify, he cannot be pre-
vailed upon by the politicians, be-
cause he is a man of strong will.
He will not qualify, and the ap-
pointment of another member will
be necessary.

MAY BE PEAuR.

Will the glad Eastertide, now less
than week of, find the white
winged Angel of Peace lowering Ger
our land, or will grim-visaged War,
with his terrible work of carnage, be
the reigning King? 1t is difficult to
answer the question. Although the
preparations for conflict are going
actively and steadily on there ap
pears at least a glimmer of hope that
hostilities will be averted with honor
to the nation. The people have
grown restless under suspense and
there is intense anxiety to know
what the outcome will be, but if the
delay results in the realization of tine
hope indicated above it viii be wise.

EASTER OFFERINGS.
Some Quaint Effects in Decorated
Egg Shells.

Egg Shells.
The custom of presenting Easter
offerings, says the Delineator, grows
stronger year by year. Among the
many tokens of remembrance *
changed between friends at this
season, those embodying the egg as
a feature are naturally the most
popular. From the Christian point
of view the feast has been usually
considered emblematic of the resur
rection and of future life. The use
of eggs at Easter time was originally
considered symbolical of the awaken
ing OF all Nature In the spring.
Identified with Easter also is the
rabbit, which, according to a 6 -rman
myth. lays Easter eggs. The rabbit
was dedicated to Ostara, the God
dess of Spring. from whose name j.
derived the German "Ostern" and
the English word Easter. The ct
footed rabbit was chosen as the
swiftest messenger to bear the happy
tidings of the arrival of spring.
A unique cushion for stick-pins is
represented in the head of a Chinese
maiden made of the shell OF a

and the characteristic headdressing

ing as an excellent cushion for the
little pins which women find 80 useful.

communication for this section of the
country. Referring to the intima-
tions that have been made from time
to time by foreign nations that in
the event of war between the United
States and another country the
South could not be relied upon to
stand Loyalty by the government
the Post says: "But it is probable
that more recent events-such, for
example, as the solid vote in Con
gress on the emergency appropria-
tion-have convinced the last doubt
er in Europe that there is nothing
satirica! in the name of this republic
that the States are united in the
broadcast, deepest, and highest sense
of the word"
The Post then adds the following !:
"While there ia no portion of our
people who are more desirlous OF the
continuance of peace than the South
ern contingent, it is equally true that
none are more ready to respond to a
call to arms if peace and honor can
not be kept together. If LOYALTY to
the flag may be measured by the
, risks incurred In defending it, where
| is there a section whose loyalty is
greater than that of the South in
this emergency? Look at its coast
line along the Atlantic and the gulf,
| and see to what possibilities it would
be exposed in case of war. We do
not disparage the patriotism OF any
State or section. There is no laggard
| in the list of States. But it is a
potent fact that the inhabitants o.
| the interior would be comparatively
safe from harm in any foreign war
| while the South would be exposed to
the enemy's guns in various possible
| contingencies. And the South, the
| people of the Southern Atlantic ano
gulf States have had severer lessons
| in the horrors and the losses incident
to war than their fellow-citizens o
other sections. They know of G
verify that "war is hell" That they
are i'll common with all patriotic
Americans earnestly DESTROYS of {
peaceful issue from present troubles
simply attests their good sense ant
| their regard for their own and tn
nations welfare. That they stant
united as one man in their readiness
to do all that may be required TO
the vindication of the nations homo
is no surprise to any intelligen
American, but it ought to be an lie
structiye object lesson to al
nations"
