NATIONAL UNIVERSITY
THE WOMEN ARE GOING TO TAKE The
iNlATlVE STEP.
ne North Carolina Secretar, fu,lnes The
Plans and Fhe Needs Of Such an
institution,

This newly organized movement held
its first regular meeting at Washington.
d. c., on the Il, 10 and 10th inst. A
constitution and by laws were adopted,
and the association, from the enthusiasm
manifested, and from the wide diffusion
of its members through the United
States from Maine to California and
from Georgia to Utah. seems to be tax
ing prominent place among notable
societies of our cooperative century.
Women of prominence everywhere are
pledging themselves to its support. There
were present representatives, from many
States i'll the Union. Harmony and unity
or purpose were most conspicuous.
This is no hot headed crusade of mere
sentiment. 1t is a well considered cam
paign undertaken by earnest women for
the good of education in America for the
future good of their sons and daughters,
whose heritage this university of the
nation will become. 1t is objected that
we have already too many unendOwed
colleges-and enough well established
institutions to do all we need for years
to come-were their efficiency only in
creased to its maximum.
Granted-but how is efficiency of COL
leges now existent to be increased if not
by better teachers; and Of all our great
universities where is one to which the
name National, indicating a non-sectiOn-
al non-sectarian, non-partisan institution
of the highest education, can be applied?
The George Washington Memorial Uni
versity should fulfill the wishes of the
Father of his country. He wished it to
complete the system of public schools,
and add the keystone to the arch CT
progressive attainments. 1t will, if car
ried out, conflict with no existent insti-
tuition. 1t will begin where even our best
universities end 1t will be a post
graduate institution and co-educational.
Tuition will be free, and only the aristo-
cracy Of intellect and the pre-eminence
of personal gifts recognized in the grant
ing of its honors. This is a grand
dream 1t belongs to these latter days
when we are promised that cur young
men shall see visions and our old men
SHALL dream dreams, which shall find
their fulflment when "the kindly earth
shall slumber lapt in universal law"
Such is the Ideal lit is suggested by
the prophetic soul Of our Great Wash
ington who chose it as his monument
rather than the huge obelisk which rises
to his honor at Washington. 1t is en-
dorsed by all our prominent educators.

people of America. The patriotic wo-
manly women of America have decided
TO take up this matter and DO what they
can toward its completion. They want
10 raise money to build one building 10

rial which may be the Administration
building OF the University and which
may arouse at once emulation in those
who have much to give.
This will be their gift to the country,
and they want to make it an aggrega-
Ji0n of many small offerings.
Geo. Washington left $250,000 in his
will toward this, has dearest project,
but the money was lost by failure of
the securities in which it was placed 4
site has been set apart. A hill overlook
ing the Potomac containing nineteen
acres, is already devoted by act of Con-
gress to this end.
The organization has also received a
report that there is another tract Of
more than one hundred acres in the
vicinity of Washington at some time set
apart for the same purpose. We have
thus some small beginning to encourage
us.
The Southern ladies are responding TO
this cause in Georgia, Virginia, Ken
lucky and Tennessee. We Of North
Caronna have not yet taken counsel to-
gether. North and South, East and
West, all have part in this matter,
but we must not forget that we Of North
Carolina are probably the most purely
American of any State. We must re-
member that while other States glory in
Washington's deeds, Virginia, our next
neighbor to whose civilization our own
is near akin claims him as son.
He is a hero of all time
but Southern Colonial Society produced
him. He belongs to the whole United
States, but Virginia gave him birth and
he was a Southern gentleman, the de-
tails of whose life were the same as
many of our own fathers. In him we
have one of our own. Let us have
pride in him. Let us delight to honor
him and our other sages, heroes and mar
tyrs, that being dead they yet may live
in ourselves.

The next day there was a quiet little
funeral, for they don't keep the dead
long in tenement houses, and Celestine's
minister read the burial service, and
poor 10 in death was better dressed than
he ever was in life, and he had very
place of his own. The respectable old
colored mammies stood around and
whispered what good boy he was, and
Celestine told how he tried to help with
the ironing, and how he would care for
the children when she was out at work,

LeadxllIe Notes.

A new shaft is being sunk on the
Breeze Iron mine by S. J. Sullivan of
the Little johnny mine. AS stated in
this paper a few days ago, good re-
turns of gold were found in the por-
phyry and iron contact last summer
and IL is more than probable that when
Mr.. Sullivan perfects his plan of oper-
atoms and gets this property opened a
good gold shipper will be in operation.
Henry /. Higgins returned from Den
yer this morning, where. as secretary
of the Mine Owners Association, he
was engaged all last week In arranging
differences i'm relation to settlements
between the smelling and mining men.
1t is now believed that matters will go
ON as usual ON spot cash quotations.
and that there will be no jar or friction
i'm the future.
Considerable difficulty has been en-
countered in clearing the Monarch
shaft of ice, steam having been
brought In use to attain that end.
A new method of shaft sinking was
tried lately in a prominent mine on
Little Ella hill. The foreman was firmly
! persuaded he had device that would
revolutionize mining in the district.
The ground In the shaft in question
was of an extremely hard character
and slow progress had been made by
drilling and blasting, so the foreman
ordered the miners to place fifty pounds
of dynamite on the bottom of the
shaft and let the water rise and cover
1t and then TO fire the fuse attached to
the charge. The Instructions were
obeyed: a terrific concussion ensued
and the miners have been engaged ever
since in hoisting timbers. 1t is not yet
known what effect the explosion had
on the bottom of the shaft.
Considerable reduction has been
made on ore rates. both into and out
of Leadville. by the railroad compan-
les. This will be an incentive to min,
ers and smelters to enlarge operations
Several mines In Iowa gulch needed
hut slight reduction in rates to bt
paying propositions. The First Ma
tional when last worked barely paid
expenses. but left no margin of profit
1t is very probable this property will
now start operations. The reduction Is
| due to the efforts of Captain w. IL
| Yankee and other Leadville men who
worked earnestly for this result last
| year.
After year and half cessation the
much talked-of Rex shaft i'm Iowa
gulch will resume operations as sool
as contract can be let to sink tn,
shaft 100 feet deeper. This is official

The Beds In Albany County to BE Devel-

Gold placer development in Albany
county, Wyoming, this year will be ac-
tive and effective. The gravel ore is ex-
tensive, while the latest washing ma
chinery and gold saving methods will
be employed.
Mr.. G. B. Adams, lately purchasing
for $4,000 the holdings of the Douglas
Consolidated Placer Company, amount
ing to 1900 acres, has already ex-
pended over $4,000 in bitches, fumes,
ETC., and in the spring will put in two
hydraulic elevating plants and already
has saw mill in place which cuts
from 1000 to 5000 feet of lumber per
day.
The purchase of this property was on
the annual installment plan, three
years being allowed for the full pay
ment of the purchasing price. Mr..
Adams further agrees to do $4,000
worth of work ON the placers this year.
At least thirty men will be employed
on the property during the washing
season. the gravel acres themselves be-
ing on Muddy creek.
Included in the Adams purchase of
1900 acres is an area of gravel on
Douglas creek proper which will also
be worked, ditch six miles long be.
ing constructed whose fiuming will
consume 1T5.o00 feet of lumber, while
still another hydraulic plant will be
put In.

which is proving very advanta-

Alberta, Canada, and is truly boon to
the farmers, is the establishment OF
creameries by the Government at regu-

furnishes the entire plant, puts 1t In

This is continued for three years, when,
the government turns over the plant

ing them clear title of It.
Thus these creameries are put in
at a minimum cost to the farmer
and paid for in a way that he least

was selling at 81 and % cents per

much of the freight loaded on the cars
