INTERESTING SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT
 The entertainment given by the schol- ars of Rock House school, last Friday, was as usual very interesting and enjoy able and consisted of carefully prepsr- ed program of dialogues, recitations and music, which was executed in manner that would do credit to much older pu- pills. After the distribution of presents from teacher to scholars, Misses Minnie SherwCo cd and Alice Lyon in few happily chosen words in concert presented their teacher, Mrs G. B. Tucker, in behalf of the scholars, & handsome cherry table, which took her go completely by surprise that she was hardly able to even thank them. She also received several individ- ual gifts from her pupile, and & very pretty hand made dolly from Miss Mar tha Beach of Monroe. After the intel lectual feast, prepared by the children had been enjoyed by parents and friends inside, they all repaired to the pleasant shade outside and there the children es- pecially, evidently enjoyed the feast pre- pared by their friends, and it may be safe in saying that all sustained them selves creditably in this part of the pro- gram, which consisted of a bouutiful col l lation of sandwiches, cakes of great va l rietv, candy, bananas and lemonade. AbOub bADo1Cus were present from Bridgeport, Danbary, Monroe, Bedding and Easton.

MT Jennings was also tbe general agent of the Tinham Standard American tricycles and sold great many of these wheels throughout the Uuited States
 Mr Jennings was always a busy man, and in every sense 8 business man, and it was largely through his untiring de- yotion to business that the manufacture or the Jennings bits and augers proved so successful in the early years, he ta ak- | ing every means to introduce them to the trade throughout the United States and Europe. In town affairs he held sever | al minor offices. and in the year 1889 rep resented the town in the General Assem- 1 bly,, his colleague being H. O.. Smaller, | now resident of Middletown. In mat ters of local interest MT Jennings always ] took au active part and was ready at all times to give liberally of his large means to help along any good work. A notable l instance of his generosity for public l benefit is that of his subscription tn the town hall fund, when he gave S5, 900 in a single lump-nearly one quarter of its entire cost-besides incidentally smaller sums which went into the building. He joined the Baptist church in Deep River py baptism in 1854 when oply 13 years of age, and had always remained faithful and loyal member, taking a deep interes' ill it's welfare and contributing liberal } to i s support. He had been the super. | irt Of ha GuuIo 4 cahnn1 nd trn tee of the church, and choirmaster at diff

Concentrating Ores.

Concentrating ores to get rid Of the
surplus silica and obtain the heavy
metallic particles contained in the rock
is nothing new. 1t has been practiced
IN many countries in many ways for
over century, but has been brought
into special notice of late years on ac-
count of the improved methods and
machinery which have been invented
and applied in the last few years.
The earliest appliances for this pur-
pose Of which we have any record. was
made use ofby the Brazilians, who after
reducing their rock containing gold) to
pulp, run it over raw hide with the
hair side up in their sluice boxes to
catch tie fine gold This crude ap
pliance has been used in almost every
mining camp since the earliest days OF
mining for the precious metal. In
many instances Brussels carpet, and
even gunny sacks, have been used as
substitutes for the raw hide, and each
has been employed successfully to a
greater or less extent according to cir.
cumstances. But the process has al
ways been found tn slow, and the fnrth-
er inconvenience Of washing and read.
justing has prevented the old methods
from coming into extended use. Still
there has always been a manifest de-
mand for concentrating appliances, and
our inventors have endeayored to re
spond to that call. The competition be-
tween the many manufactures of min
ing machinery to see who would get up
the best machine for this purpose has
been quite marked, and many concen-
tratlng machines have been put upon
the market in the last twenty years, each
claiming TO be the best. The Frue Van
ner, the Embry, the Monarch, the Stan.
dard, the Woodberry, and many more,
all having their points of excellence
but each giving way in qaick succession
to its more perfect successor until now it
would seem that each and ali, with all
their boasted merits, have been rele-
gated to the rear to give place to the
"Wilffy," which has received such gen.
eral acceptance as to supercede all the

The Wood Question Again

From recent instructions to Forest
Supervisor Hamaker We have been able
to CLEAN the following, which will be
found Of interest to our readers: Under
a late ruling of the commissioner Of the
land office at Washington, people who
reside in towns and villages within the
limits Of the reserve, and within a rea.
sonable distance thereof, where wood
is not kept for sale, are permitted to
procure the same from dead and down
timber ON public land for their own use
but not for sale. If any such persons
cut or cause to be cut, standing timber
live or dead, the further privilege
Of procuring dead and down timber
will be denied them.
All parties procuring fuel as aboye
mentioned are required to clean up II c
brush and debris, and pile il
away from any trees of standing timber
The forest rangers are held strictly to
account for the enforcement of these
rules, and are directed to allow no wood
to be removed until these requirement.
have been fully complied with.
Residents of towns aod villages will
not be required to obtain permit fol
cutting for fuel under the foregoing
ruling.

A Pierre special Of the l4th says: The
supreme court holds the old liquor IL

dispensary amendment powerless with
out the enactment by the legislature OF
the liieans of carrying it into effect.
This opinion has been rendered in the
case Of the State of South Dakota VS.. G.

appeal from the decision of Judge Moore,
and reverses the decision of the latter
who held the dispensary amendment

whether the old license law or the new

brought up in three different circuits OF
the state, and Judge Moore, ofthe Eighth

rest, and has apparently come to stay.
This machine has thus far rendered
such perfect satisfaction as to apparently
leave nothing to be desired in the way
of a concentrator.
This point being settled, the next
question 10 be considered is, what are
the benefits of concentration, and what
character of ore are best adapted to the
process. The general concensus of opln-
ion among miners seems to be that ores
which are sufficiently heavy with metal
as to yield one-third of its entire weight
in metal had better be sent to the
smelter direct, unless the concentrates
are very low grade, and the smelling
plant in close proximity to the mine.
OF course the main object in concen.
trating is to obviate the expense of
smelter charges, and the cost of trans
portation on the worthless gauge matter
which is set free and allowed to pass off
as waste in the process Of concentration.
This being the desired object, there are
many things to be considered, as ores
which would pay best under given cir
cumstances to concentrate, would under
other conditions be most profitable to
treat direct from the mine, either by
smelling, chlorination, or cyanide, ac-
cording to the character Of the ore. The
combination Of base metals contained
in the ole should be frst ascertained by
being carefully tested, not only by the
FIRE assay, but by chemical analysis, as
these tests must determine its proper
mode of treatment. Generally the ore
most preferred is that which will yield
about one ton Of metal from ten tons of
ore, but some high grade such a tellur-
ide ore which contain only one ton OF
metal out of 80 or 40 tons of ore are par
ticularlv well adapted for profitable con-
CO .tration.
The ores of Custer county are general
" of the latter class and concentrate
well from the surface down, becoming
heavier and heavier as depth is attain.
ed. All Of the ores of this country run
to pyrite when water level Is reached

to be the best preliminary method foi

tanned. 1t is humiliating confession
to make this statement at this late stage
of our investigations, yet notwithstand
ing the many and oft repeated tests
which have been made, they have been
SO conflicting in many instances that
We do not consider that the question
has been satisfactorily settled yet This
much we know, that nearly all Of oul
ores yield up their gold contained in
the rock by the chlorination method
but which process Is the most profitable,
all things considered, is something We
have yet to find out.

for Judge of the supreme court of the

attorney at law in Rapid--at least ne

knowledge of fundamental law is about
as absent as his good looks, his pleasant
ways and his genuine sociability are

spoil a good citizen to make a supreme
judge Of him, and the people wont do it.
The present supreme bench is good en-
