FLATTERING
Is the Mining Outlook, Say: Or. Rom.
niger, Of Michigan.

DIR. g. Rominger, who was four
teen years geologist for the State
of Michigan, and whose home is
now at Anarbor, spent two days
this week looking over a portion
of the mineral field of this section.
He is known as one of the oldest
aud best geologists in the country,
and is a man of wide experience
and thorough knowledge in his
profession.
In an interview with the PRESS
he said
my trip here is purely inciden-
tai, having heard of your mineral
interests and being near by, l
came over just for my own gratifi-
cation and at my own instance.
OF course, l have had time for
only a very limited inspection, and
my Investigations have not been
sufficient for me to arrive at con-
illusions that would be satisfactory
to myself. but basing an opinion
upon what / have seen during my
short stay, I think your mining
outlook is very Gathering There
are undoubtedly valuable minerals
here7lead, zinc and spar, but
great deal depends upon the
management of the mines. If
properly handled, 1 think the
mines will be successful The
great problem is the separation of
the ores. The Eagle Spar Co.,
tells me that it has machinery that
does this satisfactorily, if this is
demonstrated when it comes to
the practical test, then very SER
ious obstacle has been overcome,
and successful mining in this
section is assured"
Are there any other mines in
the country like these?
Eyes, in Wisconsin and in Mis-
souri, are mines similar to those,
but not in every particular. You
have the huOr spar here, and it is
not found in either of the others"
Is the demand for huor spar
sufficient to justify mining for it
alone?
"Your most valuable minerals
are the lead and zinc; the demand
for these is, as you know, unlimit-
ell, while the demand for the Auor
spar is as yet limited, but ten or
twenty years ago there was not
one-tenth or one-twentieth of the
spar used as is used now, and the
demand is likely to increase. You
have very fine huor spar here, an d
the supply in this country is limit
ed to this belt"

the annual encampmsnts of war
veterans is to the heroes of the
civil war. They braved death on
many fields, barring their breasts to
the bullets of relentless foe; but
" hat deeds of theirs were more
gallant than ours, when we, day
after day, charge upon line after
line of examination questions,
only to be repulssd, and forced
back to the third" or second"
ditch, never getting in sight of
coveted ditch number "one." which
is held by determined Superin-
tendent and two merciless examin-
ers who know no fear.
Nor is this all: We are next
attacked by heartless patrons. and
our lives are stepped in worm
wood. Bless us, oh. Lord! Why
do We teach anyway?
In our annual conventions we
meet and exchange our tales of
woe; seek sympathy and are CON-
forted; tell of methods we never
tried, with the hope that some one
else will do the experimenting; eat
green water melons, pass off the
remainder of our time smiling at
some sweet girl, and go home and
report the institute failure.
Oh! how many sessions have
been whiled away thus! May we
do better at the coming session,
and improve the golden opportun-
tiles.

NEGRO LAD INvENTs a NEwsUN

Eugene Burkin, celored boy of 10
years, who lives In Chicago, is the
inventor OF rapid EIe machine gun
which he claims Is the most effective
weapon Of its kind in the world. and Is
destined to throw the inventions of
Maxim and EordeDfelt, now in gen.
eral use in ornaments OF the world
into the scrap heap. Several experts
who have seen the model of Burkin,s
gun pronounce it marvel of ingenuity
and q terrible weapon. The boy il
said to have refused an offer of $50 600
for bis new invention.
The boy has never had any mechsn.
ical training, pet all the worh on his
model has been his ewn. The first
idea of tie weapon came to him during
the SPsnish-Ameriean war, when the
magnificent work of the American
gunners directed his thoughts to guns
and their improvements. He CON-
strueted his flrst model of weod his
only tool being jackknife.
The Lack Of funds thea threatened to
put stop to the young iRventor,s
work, but he finally obtained epowpb

BROUGHT IT BACK IN HONOR.

that peerless commandery, Washing
ton Patriarehie, No. 1s, on its recent
pilgrimage to Richmond to contest for

seen to be appreciated. But with all Its

the sentiment is laudab!e which tt re
presents II the superior excellence ana

and the boys who so covered them
selves with glory may well feel that all
Washington is proud Of them and re-
joice in their most accomplished
achievement. The flag presentation
and accompanying smoker which took
place at their armOry last Monday even
ing was a doubly enjoyable event.
Most interesting speeches were made
by Capt. W. P. Gray, Color Sergeant
e. P. Brown, Messrs. D. B. Webster,
j. E. Ennls, j. Fl. Jones, J. B. Askins,

To the indefatigable efforts of Capt.
W. P. Gray is probably due larger
measure of the success that Washing

than to any other man. A veteran OF

tactics, Capt. Gray easily ranks among
the foremost tscticiaDs of the day.
