Superintendent L. l.. Wright. OF the
public schools at Ironwood, who recently
visited all the principal schools of the
Upper Peninsula, In letter to Superin-
tendent Cooley speaks in the highest
terms OF the condition in which he found
things at the schools Of this city and
praises Mr.. Cooley and the efficient corps
OF teachers. Mr.. Wright spoke in partic
ularly fiattering terms Of the system OF
drawing IN the local schools, saying that
he thought ii was ahead Of any ia the
Upper Peninsula, in his judgment. He
made a critical examination into the
mode of teaching drawing in every school
he visited and was more than taken up
with the work here.
Mr.. Wright also praised the work in
music an thought there was none bet
ter In the uppr country, with the pos
sible exception OF his own schools The
manner OF teaching reading he spoke of
as being very fine and he thought the
pupils had made excellent pr gress in the
work in that line. Ole other thing
which greatly impressed the Ironwood
superintendent IN the local schools was
the perfect arrangement of the work and
the systematic manner In which every
thing about the school was done. Mr.
Wright il very well known all over the
peninsula az an educational man who
has built up the schools at Ironwood, I'M
III they stand at the top notch and his
opinion goes Tor good deal.
The system OF drawing in the schools
'ere also came in for considerable praise
rom W s. Mack, the manager of the
rang Educational company. The Prang
ompany's representative has made
rawing a lite study and is considered
uthority on the subject. He said that
be work OF the schools here was the best
9 he had ever seen in a public school
nd he gave Miss Goldsworthy, the effic-
mt superintendent unstinted praise for
ne advancement that had been m ade in

Seven Hardy French
Canadians Left the

They Join MERCER In Montana
Who VIII PiIOI the Party Through
the Entire Expedition-Manyo OF
Their Friends nt the Depot.

Calumet's first large delegation OF
Alaskan gold hunters left on the after
noon train yesterday on their wsy to the
klondlke gold country The party con-
sisted OF seven men, all OF them French
canadians, who will be piloted on their
trip by Ma cisse Mercier, who IL one of
their fellow countrymen and who has
spent number OF years in Alaska and
who now owns one OF the richest claims
near Dawson City. The party consisted
OF Messrs Frank and Fred Picotte, David
Mercicr OF Lake Linden, brother of Mar
clsse, Albert Bonenfant, Oliver Stecha
George Gareau and Royal Toupn. At
Hancock the party was Joined by two
more who will make the trip with them.
The depot was crowded yesterday after
noon with friends OF the Klondikers who
were there to see them off and wish them
God-speed on their journey OF hazard.
The baggage they took with them
amounted to considerable and the tram
was late in pulling out so much extra
time being occupied in getting the party
started. Beside lot Of luggage, there
were fifteen dogs Grated. The dogs were
all fine sleigh dogs and we're OF good size
being picked out by Narcisse Mercier
himself. Nearly every man has two dogs
with him. The beasts are OF the long
hair variety so as to be able to stand the
rgors OF Alaskan climate.
Four OF the party have been employed
on the Hecla & Torch Lake railroad for
number OF years and are good, strong
able-bodied men. They have stood the
most severe weather OF the copper coun-
try and pu led the brakes on top OF the
rock cars IN many an old-time Lake Sup
erior blizzard and think they ought to
be tous hened for Alaska.
Every member OF the party leaves a
family behind with the exception of Fred
Picotte who is single man. They vii

Messrs. Olson and Kaiser have made
some improvements to their snow plow
which they had out yesterday afternoon
and which certainly was found to work
like charm. The right hand side OF the
plow is made straight while the other
side runs at an angle, which makes it
look like only halt a pillow, but this ia
found to be great improvement, as the
snow is thrown on the outside of the
sidewalk. Bel cath the pillow is a heavy
scraper, which being worked by a lever
can be lowered at pleasure so as to take
OH the humps on the snow covered walks
and by which means the side walks over
which the pillow passed yesterday after
noon were left as level as the plank walks
are in the summer.
One OF the great recommendations OF
the pillow is it's perfect simplicity and con.
sequently there would be very little likeIi.
hood OF it's being damaged, but should it
meet with any accident IT could be easily
repaired. A light team could easily draw
the pillow, The pillow will no doubt meet
with success wherever it is shown.
