and evening on business, says the
Cheyenne Leader, and in speaking of
the Rambler mine, in regard to which

The Rambler mine was first dis
covered twenty-five years ago Il it
has been located by a large number of
people since. although but little de

Last year We shipped from the list

Melted the company s3S. 5000. Work
was then stopped owing to the rough
roads occasioned by the melting
SHOWS. This year we have not shipped
any of our high grade ore on account
of the poor condition of the roads.
we contracted with the Grand En-
campment smelter to handle the ore.
and started to take out the rich ore. 1t
was expected a good road would be
built from the smelter to the mine IL
two weeks but this was delayed f"r
sixty days. In the meantime, after
disposing of what high grade ore we
had We commenced taking out low
grade ore and keeping it on the dump
until about three weeks ago, when the
work of hauling it to the smelter COM
menced. There are about 1000 tons IL
all on the dump.
AT the present time the ore is be
ing hauled to the smelter at the rate
of 80 tor a day but this will be in
creased within a short time to so tons.
The value of the ore now on the dump

The Body is Like the Branch of a Tree,

a Visit to Douglas Greek and Gold
HiII-lconocIast Meeting Today.

w. r. West and J. A. D%onielson of
Kansas City returned today from a
weeks visit to the mining sections
west of here, and while out visited
among others the Rambler and Croe-
sus mines, the former in the Douglas
creek district and the latter at Gold
hill. Mr.. West is interested in the last
named mine, and was more than pleas
ed at the progress being made and the
development of the mineral vein now
so apparent in the tunnel.
He says they have run on to a vein
of copper of undetermined width and
satisfactory richness, and he believes
they are not far from the true vein
n a large body of ore. as the indica-
tons all point in that direction.
The situation there is likened unto
a large tree buried roots downward.
with branches spread in every direc-
ton in the mountain. They have un-
covered one of the larger branches,
ncar the root of the tree, and hope to
reach the trunk at no distant day.
A large amount of supplies and
store was sent out today. and work
will continue in the tunnel all winter.
A compressed air drill has been in
stalled and is making wonderful prog
ress into the hill, the rate of increase
in depth being larger than in most
mines in that section. where this i'm
proved kind of machinery is not used.
Mr.. Donielson was formerly in the
commission business at Kansas City,
and has but recently been induced to
visit this section of the country. He
is interested in mining somewhat. and
spoke glowingly of the outlook of the
districts he has visited. He says he
is surprised and gratified. and does
not for a moment regret his visit to
Wyoming. He has had a good deal
o. experience in mining matters, and
says he is rather conservative in dis
'eussing the-morits of the different dis
tricts. but he cannot conceal his de
light at the richness of the hills
around this city.

FROM A LONDON OLD BOY.

While the editor of this magazine was
attending the 1901 session of the Grand
Lodge of the A. o. U. w., held in Ne.
braska City, he had the pleasure of Wis
iting with j. Sterling Morton at his
home, "Arbor Lodge" Mr.. Morton,
by the way, is a great tree culturist and
is the father Of "Arbor Day." one of the
great holidays in Nebraska (from which
state the custom has spread all over the
United States) the school children all
over the state planting trees with appro-
pirate ceremonies. Thus Nebraska will
soon be forest state, instead of tree
less prairie, over which the cactus rolled
with tireless energy.
Mr.. Morton is also editor of "The
Conservative''-o of the brightest and
best gold-standard Democratic weeklies
in this part of the country.
During the conversation it developed
that Mr.. Morton had more than a pass
ing interest in our old home town and
it's various institutions, asking many
questions regarding them. He then re-
marked, "You know my son, Joy Nor
ton, was educated in Helmuth College,
London
Where the boys receive their educa-
ton and their first right start in life is
always a cherished spot through life.
While talking with Mr.. Morton, the
state archaeologist, Mr.. E. E. Black
man of Lincoln, came in, and it was
not long before the London Old Boy

Gideon Blackman, who moved from
Lower Canada to Upper Canada about
1910, and entered tract of land half
way between London and Westmin-
ster." We are to have a very interest

man, who was born in London. In this
respect the editor would like to hear
from the families of the Aliens, Brooks
and Halls, old neighbors and friends of

teacher to make ethical the instincts of
her children, to spiritualize their joys,
to refine their manners, to soften their
voices.
The school teachers resume their work
under discouraging circumstances. The
two months and more of vacation have
done much for their children physically
they come back in good blood and fine
form-but seldom have they done much
for them spiritually. They come back
more boisterous and more selfish because
generally the summer is a season OF self
indulgence to children and too much SO
to the parents who can afford to leave
the holy burdens of the home behind
them for time. "It always takes me
at least two weeks in September to get
the children back to the studious habits
and the attentive attitude which they
had in June when the school closed"
said a wise teacher of long experience to
the writer in a recent conversation.
In our public schools, at least, relig-
ion must not be taught directly, for OBJ
vious reasons. 1t is too closely allied to
theology, about which there is too great
difference OF opinion among the tax
payers to make it possible without en-
croaching upon the rights Of some. But
morality can be taught directly and re-
ligion must be taught indirectly in a
greater or less degree. Let the school
teachers realize their responsibility in
this direction. Ruskin said there were
but three immaterial essentials to life,
i. e., Admiration, Hope, Love. Let our
schools give to the children these "three
essentials, and as much more as they
may. Let them give what they may of
anything else; failing to give them
these they are but poor school teachers
and have not prepared their students
either for college or for life. The di-
ploma that does not carry with it the
assurance of development in these lines
is delusion and a snare, mockery to
the child and disappointment to the
teacher and the parent.-Unity.

OUR SCHOOLS.


which moved the editor of the Outlook
to give in the last issue ga Study of
English Schools by an American Teach
err and "The Impressions Of an Ameri-
can School by an English M. A. y
Neither article has much critical value,
for confessedly they were both written
from very hurried and partial obser-
walton. But they are good reading and
they set us a-thinking in these days of
school openings. The American was
either very unfortunate in the location
of his English studies, or else the COM
mon schools, "board schools, as they are
called there, are in many respects in
ferior to ours. The Englishman unfor-
tunately bases his study on single
visit to private boys school in Massa-
chusetts. But candor compels the adj
mission that this Englishman had keen
eyes and what he saw in this one boys
school may we'll be taken as representa-
tive of much in the life of the American
youth. He was particularly impressed
with the lack of self-restraint found in
American boys and the attendant in
accuracy and hurry. He also noticed
Conspicuous harshness and loudness of
the boy voices" although he leaves US
to infer that morality and the standards
of personal purity are higher among the
American boys than those of the same
class in England.
The question of proper curriculum
in our grammar and high schools is
much discussed in these days. On the
one hand there is a ceaseless call for
change and reform, on the other hand a
constant cry against fads and fanciful
studies.
We will not undertake to discuss
problems that belong to experts, but we
do venture to suggest at the beginning
of another school year that the most
obvious needs in the schools of America,
public and private, today is courtesy
self-control and an interest in study as
such, not simply in study as a means of
winning the diploma and passing up
while in school, and of making money
and getting into "society" after the
school days are over. The average
American graduate of both sexes turns
to life with two strong passions; one is
passion to make money without work
Or, at least, to earn living without
drudgery, and the other is to have 6
good time. Money and fun are the
main quests of the American graduates

and girl graduate are up in academic

Ryan is His Name.

A Protestant minister of Chicago
named Ryan, whose ancestors evident
ly came from Tipperary, said in a
recent sermon that we must expect to
hear of assassinations $50 long as we
permit Europe to make America a
dumping ground for all her filthy scum
of criminal classes"
Now what is the reason for that sort
of talk and what good does it do?
asks the Chicago Cronicle.
Three American presidents have fall
en- at the hands Of assassIns and every
assassin has been eligible under the
constitution to the office whose oc
cupant he has attacked. Booth and
Guiteau were Americans of long de.
scent Czolgosz is American-bor and

Some undesirable foreigners are COM
ing to this country, but there is moth
ing to show that even these are as.
sassins. 1t is pity that an attempt
should be made to arouse know.noth-

ically all Americans. whether native
or foreign born, are in sorrow and
chagrin over crime which they feel
quite as keenly as Mr.. Ryan does.
