Superior District.
FAYAL SHIPS 100000 TONS.


A correspondent of the Minneapo-
lis Journal in speaking of the Fayal
mine, aCcredits that mine as being
the greatest in the world, the total
shipments for the season being a
trihe more than 100000 gross tons.
This is the largest shipment, in
point of tonnage, ever made by any
mining company in the world. It
is 1000 tons a day for every day of
the shipping season. The Fayal
has an open pit and three shafts.
They opened the season with large
stockpile and both pit and under
ground work have been pushed hard
throughout the season. The ship
ments would have been larger but
for the fact that heavy rain filled
the open pit and the underground
workings of No. shaft, and it took
several weeks to free them. This
happened at time when No. and
No. stockpiles had been shipped,
and the burden of keeping up the
tremendous shipments could not be
transferred to them.
1t was the winter of 1894-5 that the
first shovel of dirt was lifted to make
a mine of the Fayal, the property
being first explored under direction
of Neil McInnis, one of the earliest
and hardest of Mesaba pioneers.
1t has since been magnificently de-
veloped underground, and has suf-
tlcient development to continue
work at the present rate of shipment
tor many years. The mine is being
enlarged and extended yearly and
will he able in 1901 to make lareer
shipment than ever.
The mine during the past season
has furnished employment to about
800; and about 400 men were also
employed by the Drake & Stratton
company, stripping contractors, on
their work at the mine, but the close
OF the shipping season will see a
reduction in the working force for
the winter.

B. F. Smith, Of Rhine1ander,
Will Run The New
House.
READY ABOUT FEBRUARY !,

Mr.. B. F. Smith, of Rhinelander,
Wis, arrived in the city Monday ev-
ening for the purpose of looking
over our new hotel and the pros
pective field offered the new house.
Mr.. Smith must have been we'll sat-
isfed, as he forthwith made arrange
ments with Mr.. Fay for a fve-year
lease of the building.
The new structure will not be in
readiness for occupancy until Feb
ruary 1st. Acting upon the sugges-
ton of Mr.. Smith, several minor de-
tails of the building will be chang
ed, including an enlargement of the
dining hall, the laying of hardwood
floors in the sleeping apartments
and the building of portico at the
main entrance, extending to the
curb.
The Fay will beyond doubt be the
most modern, best appointed house
on the iron ranges, and will be the
natural center of the immense tran
sient traffic on the ranges. Those
acquainted with Mr.. Smith also as
sure us that the hotel, under his
management, will add pleasant in
ducements to the travelling public
which will materially enhance it's
reputation and insure a constantly
increasing patronage.
a SPLENDID FIRST GASON RECORD.
The Spruce mine has closed it's
first years shipments with a total
of 10000 tons. This is a magnifi-
cent record for the opening of a new
property, work on the development
of this mine being commenced in
November, 1899. During the inter-
vening time two shafts have been
sunk, solid and substantial build
ings have been erected and the
property extensively opened. 1t is
in shape to make half million rec

JOHN HAISCH RETURNS
Manager of Manila Railroad Resigns
to Accept Civil Appointment.

First Lieutenant John J.. Haisch, of
the Thirty-sixth United States volun-
teer infantry, returned to Topeka today
from Manila, where he has been sta
toned since the Twentieth Kansas
landed on the island.
Lieutenant Haisch started from To-
peka with the Kansas regiment as a
private. Without tie so-called pull"
and by hard work and valuable service
he has steadily advanced to a commits
sion and a responsible position. When
CalOocan was captured on February II,
1899, the railroad shops were burning.
The cars and engines were in danger
of being consumed. Volunteers to save
the cars and engines were called for.
Haisch dropped his gun and led the
charge on the shops. Several delapi-
dated engines were found. Under his
direction they were repaired, and after
a hard nights work the first train on
the Manila & Daugapan railroad, 50
well nown as the kansas and Utah
short line" was started for Manila
From that day until he left the Philip
pines, April Is, he was general man
ager of the military railroads in the ISL
ands and carrying on a most important
work. When the Kansas regiment left
Manila Haisch was offered a first lieu

Topeka, May 20, 1900.
To the Editor of the State Journal.
In your yesterdays edition you note
the important fact from a consular re-
port that Germany beats US" IN the IN
PRODUCTION of her goods to foreign mar
kets, because Germans learn the lang
uage of their customers"
In visiting the public schools, state
institutions and mercantile houses of
the City of Mexico five years ago [ OBJ
served the same fact. The American
agents were generally handicapped by
want Of huency in Spanish
You further state hat Consular
Agent Harris attributes the efficiency Of
German commercial travellers directly
to the splendidly conducted commercial
institutes of Germany and recommends
the establishment of similar colleges in
the United States"
Permit me to suggest on his latter
point that the establishment of such
colleges is not as prS~tical for the
young man of moderate means who
wishes to equip himself with a knowl-
edge of modern languages, and not as
much in accordance with h genius of
our American institutions as the means
already at hand-viz: the common
high schO0l-provided we win use these
means practically. All we need is to
change from the old, absurd method of
spending two and threS years in the
dry, uninteresting formal study of Ger
man. Spanish. etc. teaching what not
one in fifty viii ever use. and commence
first with teaching conversation, letting
classic literature and the more intricate
parts Of grammar remain for a later
study, provided the pupil ever has need
of it. Such a change in our method of
teaching modern languages would take
the pupil at proper age, would be
practical, thorough, Inexpensive, and
save one-half the time usually given to
such languages. On this point the on
~servatism of our common schools is de-
plorable. We still slavishly follow the
old method employed in the study of
dead languages.

SECRET SOCIETIES
Making Trouble For the United
Presbyterian Church.

Chicago. May 23.-The forty-second
general assembly of the United Presby-
terrain church of North America began
here today in the Sixth United Presby-
terrain church. The opening sermon was
preached by Rev. S. r. Lyons. D. D.,
president of Monmouth college, Mon
mouth, III. The greatest discussion in
the assembly will be over the revision
of the testimony on secret societies.
Many members of o~ath-bound ~organiza-
lions are now in the church, and it is
causing trouble.
The following reports were presented:
Report of the board of home missions,
report of the board of church extern
sion, report of freedmen's missions, re-
port of the statistical clerk, and report
of the board of ministerial relief.
Among the candidates prominently
mentioned for moderator We're Rev. F.
B. Foster of Omaha, Rev. j. P. Glib
son of College Spring presbytery, n
Rev. A. S Biddle of the New York pres
bytery.
The report of the board of home mis-
sions contained statistics showing that
progress had been made in the work
during the past year, there having been
an increase in membership and average
attendance. The net gain was 1878.
There had been a marked Increase IN
the number of teachers and scholars in
the Sabbath schools, also in the con-
tributions Of the congregations. For
salaries and general work of the church
the amount raised by the home mis-
sion stations was $103, 434. an amount
which exceeded the expenditures for the
work by SIS, 1872. The tendency and
effort of the congregations was to be-
come self-supporting, a feature OF home
mission work, it was stated, that more
and more needed to be urged.
The report Of the board of church
| extension showed that the proportion
of entirely new work had been greater
han in some of the recent years, but
it had been found necessary to make
grants for some older congregations be-
cause of conditions which seemed to
threaten their existence.
Of the gil congregations in America
200 reported as not contributing any
thing to church extension.
The report of the board of freedmen's
missions set forth that fourteen mis-
sions are carried on by the board
three in Virginia, one in North Caro-
lima. five in Tennessee, and five in Ala
bama. with a total membership of 7S4, {
net increase of 106 for the year. There
are thirteen schools with an enrOllmen
of 3.204. The sixteen Sabbath school:
are attended by 3.843 scholars, unde-
the care Of 13S officers and teachers
The number of missionaries employed
is 80. The receipts were $50,510, and thu
expenditures $49,521.
The report of the statistical elerl
showed that as compared with last yea
there had beer some advance in al
parts of the church The additions b.
profession of faith and certificates wer
larger, the removals fewer, the numbe
of adult baptisms greater, and the con
tributions nearly 500, 600 more than i
any previous year. But the net in
crease is till "Iamentably small'-onl,
II per cent. of the membership report
ed. The net increase of all the cOngre
cations in America was only 1925.

Fraudulent Transactions in Cuban
Postage Stamps.


New York, May 2S.-The Evening Post
says:
Local stamp dealers are not surprised
by the development regarding frauds in
the Havana postoffice. 1t has been com
mon talk in the trade for months that
there was "a screw loose somewhere for
certain men in the business were able to
sell the s-urcharged Cuban postage stamps
at suspiciously low figures.
The demand for these stamps from col
~lectors has been large, opening a way, 1t
is pointed out, by which those concerned
in the frauds could find a market for the
destroyer stamps in this country. IN
addition to sales in Havana One New
York dealer is known to have made a trip
to Havana 10 company with a dealer from
Chicago. with the result that soon after
their return about $4,000 worth of the
stamps appeared in Chicago, These men,

of the plate numbers imprinted on the
sheet margin, for the purpose of making
certain numbers rare and consequently
