REPORTS received at the state de-
partment at Washington tell of a dis
covery abroad which will be of impor-
lance to dairy farmers. 1t is the inven-
ton of an apparatus by which milk
Can be brought into the form OF powder,
like flour in appearance, but possessing
all the qualities of milk in concentra-
ted form, moisture excepted. 1t is said
that this milk flour is completely SOL
uble in water, and can be used for all
purposes for which common milk is
used. The milk -four does not get
sour, does not ferment, and in the dry
state is not sensitive to changes in the
weather. 1t can be kept aud transport
ted in tin cans, barrels and bags. 1t
is considered that the invention will be
of the greatest Importance for the
utilization of skinned milk, which
has heretofore been often wasted. but
in the dry form can be transported
without losing any of its original good
qualities. The product mentioned is
considered superior to the caseine prod
ucts 'sproteon'' and "proteiden now

of rennet, acid or I've.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 1902.
The 1-Mill School Tax.

The marked increase in the burden
of taxation this year over last is due
mainly, if not entirely, to the main
tanning of the one-mill fixed tax for
the support of the common schools.
When the law requiring assessors to list
property for taxation at full value went
into effect, of course, with fixed per-
centage the amount of tax for school
purposes wa. increased in proportion
to the difference between full valuation
this year and the partial valuation OF
previous years, This result was fore
seen and to guard against such large
and unnecessary increase in the COM
mon school fund, and yet to provide
sufficient funds to properly maintain
these schools, Senator John M. White
head introduced a bill repeating the
1-mill tax law, and making it the duty
of each succeeding legislature to ap-
propriate at each session such sum for
the maintenance of common schools as
in their judgment would be sufficient
for their proper support. In a word,
the legislature was to make an apprO-
priation for the purpose specified just
as other appropriations for the support
of state institutions are made. The
amount in the original bill as drawn
was $3.50, 900, but in difference TO the
wishes of members from the northern
part of the state, the amount was
raised to $850,000, When the bill
came up for consideration in the SEN
ate, Senator Whitehead made an able
and exhaustive speech in favor OF it's
passage and pointed out clearly how
under the assessment at full valuation
the one-mill tax would produce an
amount vastly in excess of the actual
needs fIthe state for common school pur-
poses. Senators Riordan, Mills, Kreut-
ger and, in fact, the entire delegation
representing Newer Wisconsin, and
even a few from the older settled por-
tions of the state-though granting
Senator Whitehead s conclusions OPP
posed the bill and on final vote it was
rejected. 1t was in no factional vote.
but sectional rather; members who had
fought against one another in the con-
sideratiOn of the Stevens bill talked
and voted against this bill. The SEN
ators from the North said ssour people
have been taxed year after year to help
support your high schools and normal
schools and as we have only the con-
mon schools, the poor mans colleges,
we are going to insist on the mainte-
nance of the 1-mill tax law, and they
did, and they would have been recre-
ant to the local interests they wer-
elected to represent, had they done
otherwise. No doubt the experience
of the year just past and this will do
more than weeks of argument to in
duce the next legislature to repeal or
at least to materially modify the 1-mill
tax law

KNOW OF A HIDDEN NINE.
Two Young Women Hold the Valua-
bic Secret of a Golden Ledge
in Colorado.

Away up in the Medicine Bow mountains
not far from the Wyoming line, there is a
hidden mine for which generation of men
have searched in vain. And it is owned,
operated and its locality kept secret by two
young women who have kept their secret
since one was eighteen and the other
fourteen years old The lode was dis
covered sixteen years ago by a tenderfoot
named Smithers. He was ordered West by
the doctors and came to Colorado. Leaving
wife and two little girls at Fort Collins he
went up into the mountains to prospect.
In some unexplained way he discovered an
enormously rich ledge of quartz and recog-
nized its value. Then he returned to Fort
Collins for his family, having been absent
about year His wife had died during his
stay in the mountains, but he found his
children in care of a ranchman The older
one recognized him, aud they were turned
over to him. He took them up into the
mountains with him. and they have lived
ever since in the cabin built for them.
Smithers cleared off the ranch and did a
little farming, got a little stock and raised
his own milk and butter and eggs, and lived
outwardly like thousands of small mountain
ranchmen all over the Rocky mountain
region. But : secretly he worked on the
ledge Of gold quartz he had discovered.
He broke pieces from the vein ground
them up in a mortar panned them, and got
gold enough to keep him and his children
without any other work than caring for their
little farm. This life began when the child
rem we're but seven and three years old, re-
spectively. When the older one was I8
and her sister "a, Smithers died He had
taught them the secret of the hidden mine,
and when he was gone the two orphans
lived alone In the same manner They
looked after their little stock, tended their
little farm, and in secret ground up pieces
Of quartz and panned the gold from it, The
ledge must be Of fabulous richness for
these two girls, neither Of them very robust,
and the younger little more than a child
when they began, have taken out all the
gold they have wanted in the four years
they have lived this lonely existence. AT
rare intervals they take their horses and
pack saddle and go down to the nearest
town for provisions. They always have
gold dust and nuggets to pay for whatever
they choose to buy
IL. A. Wells, timber appraiser for the
state land board, was in that section re-
Gently and secured 500 worth Of nuggets
the young women had saved up. One he
is wearing as a watch charm II Is a great
chunk of native gold, not melted into a
button, but just as it fell from the crushed
rock. According to weight, its value would
not exceed $50 or perhaps S25. But as a
fine specimen Of native gold and as
memento Of the lonely mountain ranch and
hidden mine, hundreds Of dollars would
not buy it. Never mind, +" says Mr. Wells,
Pm going to find the extension Of that
hidden ledge some day"

NICARAGUA CANAL.
Secretary Hay Makes a Proposal to
Nicaragua.

WASHINGTON, April 1T is I'M
derstood that Mr.. Corea, the Nicara-
guam Minister here, has forwarded to
his Government a proposition as to the
price the United States would be likely
to pay for Nicaraguan canal rights, the
proposition having been submitted to
the Minister by Secretary Hay. Secre-
tary Hays proposition is said to be in
the nature of a counter proposal to that
set out in the canal protocol drafted by
United States Minister Merry last year.
Mr.. COrea for Nicaragua and Minis
ter CalvO for Costa Rica, have decided
to do away with the protocol stage in
their negotiations regarding a canal.
and are preparing drafts of treaties
which will embody the terms by which
their respective governments will cede
the necessary canal rights. These
treaty drafts are expected to be COM
pleted by the end of the current week.
By that time, Mr.. COrea expects to re-
ceive his final instructions from his
Government including the decision re-
specting Secretary Hays proposal.
Inc situation as to Colombia is pre-
clsely the reverse of that as to Nicara-
qua, as in the former case the United
states Government has before it a de-
finite proposal from Colombia and is
considering ii with some indication Of
a purpose to suggest desirable amend
mentg.
