Some weeks ago n was announced that Capt Martin. Of Spruce creek, had sold out his interests on that creek Co the Con- solldated Spruce Greek Placers Co.,, Ltd. Of Seattle. This week the company has acquired two and a half miles or the creek. from the falls up. and about GJ acres Of valuable bench ground. says the Auin Claim. Most Of this bench ground has been prospected and has been proved Co be highly aurifcrous. By the acquire. ment of the creek leases ample dumping ground has been secured.

 On Mr. Hawkins arrival at Che club rooms he was greeted by Mir Ice in O few short remarks. In which hc spoke of Che engineering difficulties that had been overcome in the construction of thc route. and that it would for on time stand as % monument Go Che abilities Of Che en- gInccr in charge.

WHAT WE Arb DOING
FOR PORTO RICANN
English Being Taught There
in One Thousand Schools
Commissioner Brumbaugh EIaiCd Over
Affairs in the ISIand-TO Increase
Educational Opportunities

Philadelphia, Nov 2O.-Dr. NJ. G.
Brumbaugh. commissioner of educa.
tion from the United States to Porto
Rico, arrived in this city yesterday
and left for Washington today for a
conference with President Roosevelt.
His report on his work in Porto Rico
was sent to the President two weeks
ago but the important question re-
gardng education in Porto Rico will
be submitted to the President in per-
son. DR.. Brumbaugh, who was for
merly Instructor in pedagogy at the
University of Pennsylvania, is elated
over the encouraging prospects of af-
fairs in the island. There is tremen-
dous interest, he said, throughout the
island of Porto Rico in educational
progress. He has about finished the
work of school organization there.
Fifteen months ago there were 700
schools and $4,000 scholars in the
island; now there are 1000 schools,
with $4,000 children in attendance.
These figures. Dr. Brumbaugh said,
would Immediately be increased to
100000 If there were facilities to ac-
commodate that number.
Under the military occupation, "
DR.. Brumbaugh continued, 1880 900
was appropriated for schools by the
United States, and during the past
year have spent 100000 for educa-
ton. The native legislature has voted
$500. 600 for educational needs, which
is over % per cent of the islands
revenues. Under Spanish rule less
than per cent for this annual reve-
nue. was expended. The percentage of
illiteracy has been reduced per cent.
in the past year.
Dr. Brumbaugh said that the gift
Of Andrew Carnegie of 100000 for a
public library i'm San Juan will be OF
tremendous help in the work Of edu-
eating the children of Porto Rico.

HOW REPORTERS HELP POLICE
Combination d Formidable One, But It
Has It's Weaknesses

Reporters are often more active and
more gifted with an instinct for detail
than the officers says Charles E. Grin
nell i'm the November Atlantic. To
gether they make a formidable cOm1
bination but they are often divided in
opinion and yet Oftener i'm their sym
pathies. Reporters, like the average
citizen, are more apt to pity the pris-
oner if for nothing else for the very
reason that the police are down upon
him. 10 is an ambition of reporters
to unearth more facts than the police.
Newspapers print news from pris-
oners friends as readily as news from
his prosecutors. Nevertheless, they
spread abroad the charge against a
suspected person more than he or his
friends wish. Since the newspapers
begin long before a trial to work up a
popular interest in all the persons
concerned the results cannot be other
than an eXaggeation of the import
anee to the public of what stimulates
and gratiiies curiosity, whether or not
it affects the question OF the prisoners

ing the progress Of the fire an ex-
plosion of gasoline occurred, slightly
injuring a number of hremen. The
damage to adjoining property amount
ed to about $4,000.
New York, Nov. 20.-Two of the
National Storage company's buildings
on the Greenville, n. j.. shore Of the
upper New York bay were destroyed
by fire last night They were filled

said to be 100000, with ample in.
surance.
