 comfort in dancing; strawberry sher-
 bert was served throughout the even

 Mr. and Mrs. L. Loranger left the city Thursday morning for Duluth, | Minn., having in view the looking up | and operating of mines in the Ontario | country. MT. Loranger came to this l city last October with a view of work ing the Crook mine in the Hassayampa district for an eastern company, but was kept employed looking ever other mines in the country, and has within the last few days transferred that well known mine to MT. J. s. Douglas fer a cash consideration which he is not willing to disclose at present. He says that the mine has been badly handled and mismanaged by incomr C. tent parties who went into it during the past winter without authority, and that the shaft was almost completely filled up, leaving much to be 6Cne to place the mine in a desirable working condition. MT. and Mrs. Loranger made many friends during their brief stay here, who look upon their depart ure with regret, and wish them exceed ing good luck in future undertakings

The professor wishes it understood that these pupils graduate from the tenth grade, there being two years of high school work included in the ordinary n course, there being an ins1lf- V iciency of teachers and space to give hem full four years course Glass c Night will be entirely given oyer 10 he graduating exercises, while there r will be general commencement or ;Ios1ng day exercises paru cipated in 1y members of the sch ool generally. There has been some difficulty in se- ecting or obtaining an orator to de- iver the usual oraticn to the gradu- s ties, so that all the arrangements are lot yet completed, but the program will be something Of unusual interest V 0 the friends and parents of the pu s- 'ils.
