the Native New Zealanders.
The census of New Zealand shows an
encouraging increase of the Maori popu-
lation, and the fact has given an impetus
to the efforts now being made to i'm
prove the condition of the race. AS was
anticipated, the royal visit has given
most favorable start to project for the
education and eraining of Maori girls.

won golden opinions by her consent to
lay the foundation stone of the school
at Auckland. In this movement a lead

scheme has been already partly carried
into effect by the education department.
The government Is taking steps to es-
tablish three technical schools for the
natives. one in the Waikato, another on
the east coast, and third in the Ho-
kianga district. The school movement
for girls has brought into notice another

MOUNTAIN OF ORE.
THAT IS WHAT THE THUNDER
MOUNTAIN DISTRICT HAS.
PROFESSOR MEAD SAYS so
and Can Be Quarried Like Stone
Some of It Assays UP in
tie Hundreds.

If the Thunder Mountain mining dis
trict of Idaho is nat a report from
Boise states. Prof. Mead OF Salt Lake
says second Honestake tSouth
Dakota has been discovered.
Prof. Mead was sent into the dis
trict few weeks ago by the Oregon
Short Line Railroad company for the
purpose of making an investigation of
the mineral resources Of the section, as
the company has in view the building of
a branch line through that country. The
report is as follows:
Boise. Ida. Nov. 14.-"It is the great
est thing on earth That is what
Prof. E. Fl. Mead of Salt Lake today said
of the Thunder Mountain gold mines.
Prof. Mead was sent into the district by
the Oregon Short Line for the purpose of
verifying the reports that have been
made concerning the riches of that Won
derful country. He has just returned
after a. two weeks trip cs inspection.
Mountain Of Ore.
Prof Mead said Thunder Mountain
was simply a great mountain of ore. he
could not determine what the boun-
daries of the ore were. Under ground he
took samples along the works for 200
feet in one direction and 254 feet in a
angles to the other, and could find no
ends, top or bottom of the deposit.
bfA III" Gigantic Deposits.
The deposit was of such gigantic pro-
portions that it would be Impossible to
.5make an estimate of the tonnage bat,
broadly speaking, the professor said he
was fully warranted in saying that there
was enough ore in sight to keep a 100
two for IN "
years. The ore could simply be quarried
cut and the cost of mining would be
the very lowest known anywhere. The
works had attained a depth of ito feet
this fact demonstrating the permanence
of the deposit.
Wonder Of lining World.
Prof. Mead says that the mine would
be one of the wonders of the mining
world if there was nothing else there
but the rich streak. In any other coun-
try it would be ledge that would set
mining men wild. The ore is richer than
any he has ever before seen in great
quantities.
Ore Foy.r Feet Thick.
1t is literally plastered with gold. and
this character of ore is four feet thick.
He said further that he had picked out
he was confident had as much as $50 in
it. He would not undertake to say what
the ore would run, but 1t would go into
the thousands.
Genera Run Of Ore.
OF the ore in the main ore body, Prof.
Mead said he could not state it's value
as he had not yet had samples assayed,
but by panning and from assays made
by others he was entirely satisfied that
it would go at least 81 ton. He brought
out about IS pounds of samples. which
he will have assayed in Salt Lake.
Reef Of COLLABORATING Ore.
When asked about the character of
the formation. the professor said he
could not undertake to express an Opin-
ion concerning it, for it was puzzle.
There appears to be great reef of the
gold bearing material passing through
the country. A mile away from the
Dewey properties he had found the same
formation and on Rainbow Mountain,
eight miles distant. the formation was
very similar.
