OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL.
Opened Monday With a Larger At
tendance Than at ANY Previous
Term-The Illinois Method Adopted
Some Suggestions for Parents.

School opened with an attendance
of 112; last year there were present
but "A the first day. The State Board
of Examiners have adopted the Hi
nois course of study for the schools
of this state. In order to follow out
this course successfully it will be
necessary for the pupils to attend
regularly. Each lesson is a prepare
ton for the one following, and when
this is once understood by the pa
rents there will be better attendance.
Education is the harmonious develop
ment of all the faculties of the mind,
but in order that this ideal of educa-
ton can be looked forward to as an
object and aim in the work of the
teacher, the pupil must have the ben
eft of each step in the process of the
development.
In order to carry out and obtain
the full effect of this new method of
study the pupil should have the ben
eft of every moments time in school
at least. As they will not all volun-
tarily live up to this new process it
has been suggested that a truancy
ordinance, an ordinance forbiding
school children to be on the streets
after a certain hour at night, be pass
81 hr tha t,N+p council
Written Excuse for absences will
be required in all departments now
and monthly report cards will be is
sued this term. Parents and all
good citizens should cooperate with
the teachers to impress upon the
minds of the pupils that school is a
place for study and not for having a
a good time and doing mischief.

SETTLED.
Has Been The Famous Montezuma
Placer Mining Case.

The famous Montezuma placer min
ing case, which has been before the
land department since 1898, upon an
application for patent, was yesterday
determined in favor of the applicant,
John H. Mullison, so far as the local
office is concerned, says the Cheyenne
Leader.
Special Agent George B. Abbott
objected to the issuance of patent on
the ground that there was not gold
in the claim in paying quantities.
After several postponements a hear
ing vas held at Saratoga in June for
the purpose of taking testimony, and
at the request of the claimant a final
hearing was held at Cheyenne last
week. The testimony was considered
in favor of Mr.. Mullison, and Regis
ter Chaplin so decided. In his opin-
ion he says:
The witnesses for the governmet,
summoned by Special Agent Abbott
and his cess +. j. Jenkins, were
James L. Sterrett, Charles b. Sterrett,
Joseph b. Hassett, John Landon and
Edwin w. Bennett. In the main
their testimony is hearsay, and tends
in a great degree to show the mineral
character of the land in question.
All testify that they believe some
gold exists in the land. Joseph b.
Hassett, a miner of Carbon county,
testified that he and a partner work
ed out a piece of ground twenty feet
long, four feet wide and from three
to five feet in depth, or about 800
cubic feet of dirt, and all they ex-
tracted IS in gold, or t~wenty-six and
two thirds cents per cubic yard, and
he didn't believe that all the gold
was saved. The evidence of Hassett,
corrpborated in the main as it is by
other witnesses for the government,
is of itself sufficient to establish the
mineral character of the land.
The witnesses for claimant, Multi
son, qualified themselves as practical
miners of long experience, and their
testimony goes to prove that this is
the case. They testified that the
claim is a practical mining claim;
that it can be worked at a cost of not
to exceed ten cents per cubic yard,
and upwards of fifty cents per cubic
yard can be extracted from the
ground.
The preponderance of evidence is
decidedly in favor of the claimant,
Mullison, and it is adjudged by the
register and receiver that the land is
mineral in character.',Laramie Re

CONSOLIDATED.
The Rambler and Battle Lake Tunnel
Site Companies Join Hands--A Large
Combine That Will Result in Much
Good for the Battle Lake Country.

For the past month ]. NJ. Thomas,
Capt. E. Storer Tice and W. j. Rus
sell have been very busy at work on
the consolidation of the Battle Lake
Rambler and the Battle Lake Tunnel
Site Company's property. The deal
is a gigantic II and has at last been
accomplished. Mr.. Thomas and Capt.
lice are now in Chicago closing this
business up.
When this deal is accomplished the
company will be one of the strongest
financially in the mining district and
the work of opening up both proper
ties will be under the guidance of the
most experienced miners and carried
forward as fast as money and men
can perform the work.
The work of arranging matters in
this deal has occupied the time of
these men so exclusively that they
have not had time to look after the
matter of the electric light plant
which they intend to put in for this
town. The dynamo and engine have
been purchased and are ready for
shipment and, as soon as they can
get free from the present deal, they
will at once turn their attention to
the erection of the plant.
LATER-W. j. Russell came in on
yesterdays stage and reports that the
mining deal is all closed up and the
property transferred. He also re-
ports that j. NJ. Thomas will be here
Monday and that the electric light
plant is a sure go.
Mr.. Russell is quite enthusiastic
about the mining deal and says it is
the biggest thing this country has
ever known and that it will work
a revolution in the mining in Battle
Lake.

Hot Springs Tunnel.
A TAX PAYER,

The work of completing the old
tunnel, which was started through
the hill north of the Hot Springs
Hotel years ago, was recently taken
up, the contract let to b. I. Ryan.
who sub-let it to G.. d. Buchanan.
Mr.. Buchanan is progressing very
well with the work, being now in ten
feet on the 20 which remained to be
run. 1t is all rock work and has to
be blasted out. A dam will be con
structed across the slough which
comes into the river at the hotel and
the water conducted into the tunnel.
When the tunnel is completed Mr..
Baker, the manager of the Hot
Springs Hotel, says that water can
be brought over nearly all of the
hotel grounds, as well as furnished to
all the residents ON that side of the
river who desire it.

Miss Celia Smith and her sister
Nellie are confined to the house with

great credit upon the lodge.

Olympia No. 2.

John Lundgren, the local manager
of the Olympia Mining Company,
was in from the company's property
this past week. He says they are
now busy doing the assessment work
on the various claims owned by that
company.
He exhibited specimens of rock
taken from a new find, which is locat-
ed southwest of the Giant, which
shows up well in iron and copper at a
depth of only nine feet from the sur
face. Mr.. Lundgren could give no
definite information as to the width
of this lead, as they had not sunk
deep enough OIL it to determine its
extent or value. He thinks it will
prove to be a valuable property when
opened up, as the surface indications
are very good, and Mr.. Lundgren is
conceded to be one of the best pros
pectors in this country.

Bound Over to District Court.

Constable j. j. Wirth came down
from Encampment Tuesday with one
Charles McLain, a recent conner to
these parts, whom he was taking
down to Rawlins to place i'll the H9
tel de McDaniels for safe keeping.
1t seems that Mr.. McLain had taken
a fancy to some bedding and other
property which belonged, by rights,
to another man, and for that fancy
he was arrested and bound over to
to the District court IN "a charge of
grand larceny.
Mr.. McLain is Of a scrappy dispo-
sition. 1t is said that when the city
Marshal of Encampment took his
dinner in to him Monday he took is
sue with the marshal and undertook
to wipe the ground up with him. He
was overpowered and made to realize
that he had gotten hold of the wrong
man with which to thrash the earth.

The Copper Bar Minimizing.

w. j. Crane, the president of the
Copper Bar Mining Company, vas
down from their camp over Sunday.
Mr.. Crane says they are progressing
very well in the work of sinking the
shaft on their property. They are
now down over so feet and find CON
siderable iron and copper pyrites in
the shaft. Small stringers are com
ing in and he is of the opinion that
they will reach the vein much sooner
than they anticipated when they
started in to sink a shaft $50 feet.
At present they are building a
shaft house 2Sx54 feet and getting
ready to work all winter. The tim
Der for this building is all ON the
ground and it will be put up at once.
MI. Crane wants to see the building
completed before going down to his
home in Arlington, Nebraska, which
he expects to do at the end OF the
present month.

Thinks We Should Retrcnch.

Business is quiet here, as well as at
other points, and men with good
judgement are cutting down all un-
necessary expenses. Saratoga is not
only quiet in a business way, but al
so is quiet as regards drunks, fights,
etc. Would not it be well for the
Mayor and Council to cut down the
city's expenses sonnet This, in my
judgement, can very easily be done. |
don't think it necessary to hire both
a Marshal and a Night-watchman at
"A cost of about $50 per month. Hire
IL man and let him go on duty at
say, l p. m. and serve until l a. III.
Also there are other ways that the
city expenses can be curtailed.
l don't want the Mayor and Coun-
ell to think | am debating to them
alone, but this subject has been talk
ed, more or less, for some time by a
number of citizens and they think
it is the duty of the city Fathers tc
take the matter under adyisement.
Yours truly,
A TAX PAYER.

RAWLINS E M

Mrs. Robt. Jones, of Saratoga, IA
a Rawlins visitor Thursday.
r. A.. Smiley went to Saratoga
Wednesday morning to look after the
interests of the Hot Springs hotel.
The Qualey lakes in the vicinity of
Elk Mountain is the scene of activity
these days, a large number OF Filand
miners who were recently discharged
from the coal mines at Carbon having
taken up temporary habitation there.
They are living in tents, tepees and
shacks, and put in their time hunting
and fishing.
Last Wednesday was the twenty
first birthday of Kay Ferris. Among
several other presents he received was
a beautiful gold watch from his moth
err. The works were enclosed i'll Il
solid gold hunting case with a dia-
mond setting. The watch cost Sl25
and is a present which the young
man has reason to be proud.
Warrants were issued Thursday for
c. o. Stevens and Mrs. o. L. Stevens,
living at the Boot" ranch near Semi
noe, charging them with selling beef
to residents in hawlins without eXhib-
iting the hide according to law. The
man was arrested in Rawlins late
Thursday by Deputy Sheriff Horton
and lodged in the Carbon county Jail,
but the woman still retains her liberty
but is where the officers of the law
ear lay their hands on her when she
is needed. The merits of the case
will not develop until IL hearing is
had.
Cosgrifr Brothers, this week ship
ped from FIT. Steele twenty cars of
sheep, about 1900 head, to the Chi
cage market. John b. Cosgriif ac-
companied the shipment.
Mrs. S~tockwell,'a mnchwoman liv-
ing near FIT. Steele has reported to
the local officers here that thieves
visited her place Wednesday night
and carried away considerable plum
der. No trace of the offenders or
plumber has been obtained.

Hon. I. G. Miller, president of the
Ferris Haggarty Mining Company,
was in the city Monday morning, on
his way to Rawlins. Mr.. Miller,
when spoken to concerning the work
and prospects of the mine and the
rumored consolidation, said:
"The work on shaft and tunnel are
progressing very favorably and l am
entirely satisfied.
"There is absolutely no truth,
whatever, in the rumored consolida-
ton of the Rudefeha mine with other
Battle Lake properties. We have too
good a mine to ever think of such a
thing as that. We could not afford
TO pool the interests of the Rudefeha
with a mine of lower grade, or one
whose development and facilities were
not as good as ours.
eve shall ship nc more ore. 1t is
rather too expensive work. 1t cost us
S32 to lay every ton of ore down at
the smelter, and it is too much money
to throw away. When we have de-
veloped the mine, according to our
present plans, and find out just what
we have in the way of ore bodies in
the lower levels, we may then put in
reduction works at the mine and re-
duce our product and ship the matte.
We can put in a good plant for
about S65, 900 and if we find that we
will require more machinery we can
add to it.
"One thing is morally certain and
that is, that the company will not
sell its ore to any local parties. When
we get ready to mine ore we vii!
handle it ourselves. If any other
local company can handle it with a
profit, after transporting it across the
country for a number of miles, we
can certainly handle it with a greater
profit right at the mill.
81 know it would be a fine thing
for the entire valley if we were to
conclude to again begin the transpor-
tation of ore to the railroad. To
have from fifty to seventy six
horse teams on the road, between the
railroad and the mine, makes busi-
ness for everybody on the route and
gives employment to a large number
of men and teams, and calls for
large amounts of hay, grain and pro
vision. But when it comes to run
ming a mine-a private institution
you have the interests of the stock
holders instead of the public interest
to look after. The stockholders are
the ones that want dividends and il
they don't get them they will begin
to enquire why. 1t would be a fine
thing if we could promote the pub
lie good of this country and, at the
same time, make money for the
stockholders; but it cannot be done
by hauling the Ferris Haggarty ore
to the railroad in wagons"
