How Gen. Hale Work ed
lat "the Point"
Not Satisfied to Be at the Head Of
His Glass - Wanted to Beat
Academy Records.
(Army and Navy Journal

OF Brig. Gen. Irving Hale, United
States Volunteers, who has figured
with distinction in his operations about
Manila this anecdote is related as in
dicating his persistency and ambition.
When about IS young Hale secured an
appointment as cadet at the United
States Military Academy from Colo
RADIO, and reported at West Point in
June, 1880. At the first semi-annual
examination Hale stood near the top
of the class, a cadet who had the adj
vantage of several months at one of
the preparatory schools on the Hudson
carrying off first honors. The mem
her of the class who passed one was
under discussion soon after, when Hale
quietly remarked:
He will never be number one
again"
''Why?" was the reply. "One might
honor for yourself Do you intend to
be number one?"
Il not only intend to be number
one,' Hale replied, but I shall endeav-
or TO make the highest standing ever
made at the academy"
This elected some retorts from the
listeners, and remarks regarding
Hale's presumption. In June, 1884,
however, when the class graduated,
Hales intention to be number one had
been fulfilled, as had also his desire to
reach the highest standing ever made
in the history of the Academy. He had
gathered to himself class rank number
one in all branches but two, and in
these had pushed his sole competitors
80 hard that there was only the frac-
tion of one per cent, between them.
This is an Interesting story, but as
a matter of fact Gen. Geo. Andrews,
who died April 4, graduated number
one in all branches of study, and was
absolutely perfect as was Gen. Hale,
in department neither receiving any
dement's. Gen. Hale was 2,07G.4 in
general merit out of a possible 2,075.
and this is what is referred to. His
percentage was 99S; Gen. AndrewS's,
99.44, or 2,237.3 out of a total of $50

useful. In some mysterious way, the
son of the farmer or the mechanic who
goes through the public school is like
ly at the end OF his course to cherish,
not an ambition to be a farmer or a
mechanic, but school teacher, a clerk,
a lawyer or an otficeholder"
This, we apprehend, is about what
Mr.. Huntington would have said if he
had elaborated his theme. He objected
to what David Star Jordan termed
"misfit" education, rather than to edu-
cation in itself 1t is not certain that
the term "higher education" is not in
itself misfit education. The education
which has the greatest influence on the
affairs of the world today is that of the
hand to do the work the brain plans
to be done. In all important scientific
discoveries the educated hand is as
essential to success as the educated
brain. The discovery of the expansive
power of steam had little value until
the educated hand applied the discov-
cry to machinery.
Mr.. Huntington made especial refer
ence in his speech to the difficulty of
finding skilled mechanics. There was
an abundance of men fitted for all
kinds of work in the so called higher
educational departments of labor, but
comparatively few in the more useful
branches of human endeavor. The
schools set the pupils in the direction
of academic instruction. As our Port
land contemporary says: "The whole
spirit and tendency of the public
schools is to put the industrial occu-
pations upon which the welfare of the
country depends into contempt as
compared with professional or semi
professional ways of life. The stupid
ity OF it is beyond words. The
trouble appears to be that our school
system has almost no local or indus
trial adaptations. Whether in the
factory districts of New England, i'm
the great plains of Dakota, in the min
ing camps of Arizona or in the horti-
cultural valleys of California and Ore
gon, the ideals and methods are Sc
verely the same--and always purely
academic"

have been the stickerS with the mining
men who have tried to work the Buffalo
Hill and the American Hill. This
question was solved by the Edward
Jeussen company, who utilized an ele-
vator and realized fortune. By a
stroke of good fortune this company
set the elevator in just the right place.
The pit they dug by was in the lowest
point in the bedrock and the deposit
there was extensive, and the hydraulic
system put in as an experiment, was a
great success. More money and much
engineering skill was applied to the
Buffalo Hill group of claims.
The good luck of one company was
reversed in the case Of the Buffalo
company They first ran tunnel
through q great mountain for a sluice
and for dump. They learned when
too late that the tunnel was above the
gold deposits. This engineering blum
der broke up the company and set
them to fighting so that one partner
was satisfied if he could ruin the 9th
er The ruin was mutual.
Later long bedrock fiume was run
by new company. 1t was found to
be too high above the bedrock to be
practical. So thousands of dollars
have been expended on this mine, and
yet its millions, though in sight, have
never been appropriated.
This old gravel bed is in many ways
mystery. The gold is distinct from
that found in the ledges in the vicin-
ity. 1t is reasonably coarse and could
not have washed far The belief now
is that this gravel bed was once the
bed of Clearwater river. In that pre-
historic age the various branches of
the Clearwater must have been united
in one great river. Some volcanic up
heaval must have divided the stream
and left the old bed of the great river
on mountain top. The gold in this
deposit must have been ground into
this great river by glaciers that ground
the sides of Buffalo Hump. This
heavy gold could not have travelled
farther than the great mountain that
overshadows the district today.-West-
ern Mining World.
Mohave County miner., 1899-06-24
Mysterious Gold.

The Buffalo Hill and American Hill,
near Elk City, are the most mysterious
gold deposits in the United States,
says the Lewiston Teller. The aurif-
erous deposit is a gravel wash, an old
river bed miles away from river or
other large stream. The deposit con-
sists of hundreds of acres and it Is up
on and makes high hill. This pay
gravel has been worked for thirty-s six
years, has yielded millions in gold
dust, and still holds other millions to
be washed out 10y future generations
of miners.
The Elk City diggings of early days,
very rich camp, were the deposits from
this great gravel bed that spreads over
succession of high mountains. The
available places were washed out year
by year, then the industrious miners
drifted like gophsrs on the pay streak
until it was not rich enough to com
pensate for the toll of wheeling the
gravel to the water.
Over and above the pay streak which
the white men and then the Cinnamon
followed in early days there is de-
posit of gravel that will pay well with
hydraulic equipments. The American
Hill company took out S0,0O0s in one
year by means of hydraulic elevator
from this gravel deposit. This large
sum of money was taken out of less
than half an acre of this vast deposit.
Buffalo Hill is just as rich as Ameri-
can Hill. Rod Leggat, Montana cap
italist, now controls the water supply
for this hill. The history of this great
claim has been one of disa ster 1t has
broken up many good, confident, en-
thusiastic owners. There are millions

Duty.

Duty is u word that many intelligent
people have never learned to love.
Nevertheless, they are not released
from their duty because they do not
love it,
Every person has duties toward those
around him. For example, he should
so deport himself as to inspire the
young to nobler lives. He should be
conscientious in all his relations with
his equals, and he should pay to his
superiors the respect that is due them.
1t is the duty of every citizen to
study the question of his government
until he has ma stored them. not simply
to take for granted what his neighbor
says, but to think and investigate for
himself. "What is every ones business
is no ones business" and in this re-
public our government has suffered
severely already and must be humili-
ated in the future because the voters
do not feel themselves to be individu-
ally responsible for the acts of the ma
ton.
But most important of all are the
duties that we owe to ourselves. These
may be classed under three heads
physical, mental and moral.
No person has right to allow his
physical frame to remain in an uncul-
tivated condition. 1t is his duty not
only to make himself as strong and
healthy as possible, but to learn and
obey the laws of nature so that he may
remain strong and healthy until the
age OF eighty or ninety years.
1t is the duty of every person to cul-
tivate the brain power that nature has
given him. 1t tbi. country there is
no excuse for the man or woman who
fails to secure an education sufficient
to enable him or her to perform all
duties intelligently.
But most of all. it is the duty OF
every person. whether strong or weak,
sick or we'll, intelligent or dull, to
form and maintain character which
shall be above reproach. This cannot
be done in any other way than by con
stant care, study and effect on the
part of the individual person. Char
acter is merely the effect of our habits
and if our daily habits are not the very
best of which we are capable, than oul
character cannot be strong and noble

Education-Fit and Misfit.

The Portland Oregonian correctly in

ton of the day, aud applies the doc
trine of the criticism to the public
schools. "ln many ways" says the
Oregonian, "these schools are admir-
able; but there is in them this essential
vice, that they tend to lead the youth
of the country away from industrial
and productive life into another sort
of life infinitely less Independent and
