DALE EXONERATED
The Garfield School Principal
Simply Did His Duly.
WEDNESDAY IS A HOLIDAY
An Effort Will be Made to COMPROMISE
With PassmOre & Co..
Other School Matters
WEDNESDAY IS A HOLIDAY

The principal feature of Saturday
evenings meeting of the board of educa-
ton was the eXoneration Of Principal
Dale of the Garfield school from any
blair me in the matter Of his trouble with
Mrs. De Smell. Mrs. De Smell preferred
charges against the Garfield school prin-
cipal about ten days ago. and Mrs. d. A.
Currie seconded the effort of Mrs. De
Smell, who alleged in her complaint to the
school board that Mr.. Dale had used i'm
proper language towards her when she
called to see him concerning a book which
her daughter had soiled, and for which
the principal, acting under the rules of
the district, had requested Mrs. De Smell
to pay for, in writing, twice. After the
second notification she called on the prin-
cipal, when, Mrs. De Smell alleges, the
trouble occurred. The charges were re-
ferred to the teachers committee, which
met a week ago, and the testimony adj
duced before the committee tended to
show hat Principal Dale had simply
lived up to the rules Of the district.
At Saturdays meeting Of the board a
second petition, requesting that the
charges against Mr.. Dale be taken out
of the hands of the committee and con-
sidered by the whole board, was pre-
sented.
Chairman Lane of the teachers COM
mittee reported the findings of the COM
mittee, which were practically as mar
rated above.
Principal Dale made a statement, in
which he branded the allegations of Mrs.
De Smell as false in every particular.
The petition was examined carefully
and it was found first, that nearly 80 per
cent of the petitioners have no children
attending the Garfield school. Second.
SO per cent of the enrolment of the
school IS not represented in the petition.
Third, nearly one-sixth of the petition
ers are not residents of the Garfield dis
trict and have no direct interest in the
schools of that building. Fourth, SO per
cent of the petitioners who had children
in the Garfield school the past year paid
for or signed INDECENT certificates for
damaged books ordered condemned by
Sections So and 80, rules of the board of
trustees.
Trustee Dorais moved that Principal
Dale be exonerated. The motion was
seconded by Mr.. Lane and adopted by a
unanimous vote.
President Long reported that the COM
mittee to which was referred the claim
of Passmore & Co., architects, for S., 800.
would recommend that the tender of
81 OPS be made to the claimants, with the
understanding that this amount would
settle the claim in full.
The schools will be closed on Washing
toms birthday-next Wednesday,.
The salary Of Janitor Bartell was in
creased to $50 per month, on account Of
increased responsibilities.

THE IRON MOUNTAIN.

Helena Independent: TIL Iron Noun
tain company, which is operating the
War Eagle mine at Butler under bond,
began the present month with a cash bal
ance to it's credit of SO, 760.0 7. The bono
on the property will expire April 1, but
in all probability will be renewed.
Robert Angus, superintendent of the
mine, reports that 143 cars of ore were
shipped to the East Helena smelter last
month. During January the several
workings were driven a total of 1873 feet.
Up to Jam. 81, the development of the 300
level totaled 915 feet.
The report is not as encouraging as the
friends of the Iron Mountain would like
it to be. Since Aug. /. the company has
disbursed $41 1923. while it's receipts, in
Guiding a cash balance in the treasury
August 1 of $14, 036. Of, have been only $751;
6S3, SO. The company has more supplies
on hand now than August /. however.
The mine has a well developed ore body,
immense in size, and if the values should
increase as expected. the mine will again
enter the dividend producing class. where
it was for years.

THE COPPER SITUATION,

Boston News Bureau: We understand
that the Western Union Telegraph 20,
which was recently in the market for
$500. 000 worth of copper Wire has with
drawn on account of the enhanced price
and that aluminium has begun to make
inroads in the copper field, though not
extensively as yet. But some manufac-
turers have begun the Introduction of al
uminum and there are possibilities of it's
extension, though the practicability of it
under various conditions has not been
thoroughly tested.
The five cent advance in copper, from 10
to 1Sc per pound since January ist, is a
factor of considerable moment in electric

APPLICATION DENIED.

Helena Independents: The officers Of the
local United States Lane Office have just
received a decision of United States Land
ial interest to the residents of Butte on
account of the fact that the contestants
are Butte parties. The decision denies
the application of Margaret McRae and
Mary Sloan for a hearing to set aside
the patent for the Brown Girl quartz
lode.
1t appears that the mineral land in dis
pute was patented to claimants as placer
diggings and was subsequently trans
ferrred to the Boston & Montana Con-
solidated Gold & Copper Mining COM
pany.The contestants subsequently at
tempted to file on it as a quartz claim.
The case has been in the state courts for
a long time and was finally decided by
the supreme court against the contest

The copper craze has evidently struck

Butte heretofore has been apathetic on
stock transactions, but the recent rapid
advance in copper stocks has stimulated
many to action. Parrot was the leade
today, openig at SAB and closing at $47A.
Boston & Montana held its own, notwlth-

1.-The fact is, 1 have lost good deal
of money during the last three weeks.

great many subscribers every day"
"What do the subscribers give as
their reason for dropping the paper"
asked Henry Maxwell. All the rest were
listening eagerly.
"There are a good many different
reasons. Some say they want paper
that prints all the news, meaning by
that the crime details, sensations like
prizefghts, scandals and horrors of
various kinds. Others object to the dis
continuance of the Sunday edition. I
have lost hundreds of subscribers by
that action, although I have made sat
isfactory arrangements with many of
the old subscribers by giving even more
in the extra Saturday edition than they
formerly had in the Sunday issue. My
greatest loss has come from falling off
in advertisements and from the attitude

The present volunteer regiments will be formally mustered out of the service. but the expectation is that many of the men. alter paying visit to their homes Will again enlist, so that this branch Will have for its nucleus much of the present element composing it. Some of the organizations may determine to go Tn bodily but the understanding is that each man will be free to exercise ms own will as to remaining other words, there is to be nothing sayorinp of conscription.

Washington, March 5. Uncle Sam is n need of 57,000 men for the army. mat they may be obtained as rapidly as nossible instructions have been sent by Secretary Alger to all recruit ino officers to make as many enlist nents as possible. To aid them in their work, the secretary has author ;zed them to freely advertise, and to oxnedite enlistments it has been de- termined to assign 25 additional off cers to recruiting duty, making 95 of acers engaged in the work. Returns received by Adjt. Gen. Corbin show that there are to-day 10000 men who have enlisted in the United States service for three years, and this num- ber may be largely increased by the re-enlistment of many volunteers who have announced their intention of re- maining in the service.
 In addition to Americans, it is pro- posed by the department to take ad- vantage of that provision of the new army law, which permits the enlist ment of natives of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. It is not intend ed however, to form regiments com posed solely of natives The pro- rramme, so far as decided upon, eontemplates the formation of mixed regiments-that is, American and na- lives, with American officers. Just how many of these regiments will be authorized is a question to be settled within the next week. If desired, the department could organize 30 of these regiments, that many being authorized. In mixing the men the authorities be- lieve they win be able to prevent mutiny or any other military crimes in which the natives might attempt to engage.
