tary Of the Kansas Agricultural Depart

sas in palace car to examine the wheat
belt. Mr.. Coburn says:

very creditable agricultural States could
not reach by aggregation. and not an
acre OF any value in all the millions will
fail of reaping."

A COURSE OF STUDY FOR INDIANS.
The Indian Bureau Sanctions Miss Estelle
Reels Plan. -....

The Indian bureau has just issued a
course of study for Indian schools, pre-
pared by Miss Estelle Reel of Wyo-
ming, superintendent of Indian schools.
Miss Reels aim is to make the training
such as to develop the intellect and
character of pupils and also to make
the student able to do something prac-
tical and useful. instruction in arth-
metic Is so arranged that while the
students are learning the fundamental
rules, they are at the same time being
taught their practical application to
useful occupations. In carpentry lay
ing out, measuring and building floors
in houses, and constructive work, they
have the actual demonstration of the
principles Of the arithmetic class; in
blacksmithing they take measurements
in the making of articles and compute
the cost of materials; in engineering
they make estimates on calculations
of cost, etc. The knowledge acquired
in the literary branches is brought into
play in the industrial work. Writing,
spelling. reading and grammar are in
constant use; geography is taught by
learning where the markets are located
and of the places from which materials
come, and in history through learning
of their development.
The Reel course of study is indorsed
by the Indian bureau and the presi-
dent of the National Educational asso-
citation.

ELIZABETHTORN AND RED RIVER.
A Bond and Lease on the Golden Ajax
Work on the McGinty.

| F. O. Watkin, who has just returned
from Denver, has procured bond and
lease on the Golden-Ajax at Elizabeth
town, Colfax county. This property is
considered to be one of the best propo-
sitions in the district. The Ajax has
produced a large amount of good ore
| in the past and under the new man.
| agement it is expected that this prop
erty will give a good account of itself.
Work has begun and the mill is now in
operation on the Ajax ore.
c. J. Dold is operating a diamond
drill on Iron mountain, and is rapidly
pushing a hole into the mountain.
Colonel c. H. Shear, one of the own
ers of the Indiana, states that he has
been successful in making a deal
whereby the property will commence
active operations in immediate future.
1t is the intention of Colonel Shear to
put new machinery on the property.
The McGinty is pushing work on it's
property. A contract has been let to
run the tunnel 200 feet farther into the
mountain. Captain Tom Sewall is the
manager. This property recently struck
a fine body of ore in the tunnel.
The Ora dredge is still working away
and despite cold weather, is doing
we'll. The dredge will run as long as
the weather will permit. The Eliza
beth placers are no longer a doubtful
proposition. The dredge is a new but
successful way of extracting gold
where other methods have failed. Each
cleanup has been very fattering.
The drill on the Anaconda group of
mines is down about 200 feet. 1t is ex-
pected that in short distance a rich
vein of copper ore will be discovered.
The Scarlet at Red River, has uncov-
cred a very fine body of gold and sill
yer ore, said to run considerably over
500 IN gold alone. Witile the silver Is
no small proposition. If the lead
proves permanent, the company will
put a good force Of men to work.
Fremont c. Stevens and George NAL
lette have one of the promising mines
of the Red River district in Taos coun-
ty. Recently the vein, then 10 or 20
inches wide, pinched out. They went on
with the work in the tunnel, and now
have again found the vein, with in
creased values.
The Golden Treasure is working its
usual force of men and expects to put
on another shift in the near future. A
short time ago the least stringer" was
encountered in this property but the
value was small. After drilling about
forty feet on this lead very rich body
of gold ore was encountered. AS the
work of drifting continues, the vein
becomes wider and the values richer.
Some very fine free gold specimens
have been shown.
David Hoosen has good property in
the Dead Head, situated on Road cam
on near Red River.
