SCHOOL MATTERS.
Boardof Education Meet and Organize
Prof. Hill Re.ensased-New
Grade Established.

The new city board Of education
met and organized last Friday even
ing by the election Of Horace Fish
back, president; G. A West, vice
president; and f. J. Carlisle, clerk,
The board as IL now stands is COM
posed Of nine members, two from each
ward and one at large making it a
very representative body.
The board at its meeting Friday
night approved the bonds of the clerk
and treasurer and, besides transacting
considerable routine business, took up
the engagement of teachers for the
coming school year.
Prof. M. o. Hill was re-engaged as
city superintendent at a handsome in
crease in salary which demonstrates
an appreciation OF his work and OF his
peculiar fitness for the office. Prof.
Hill has labored hard and unceasing-
ly to bring the city schools to stan
dard Of perfection in accord with his
high ideals. The foundation has been
laid for a splendid school library, and
the physics laboratory which would be
a credit to any high school, has been
built up in one short year through his
enterprise and tireless energy. An
improved standard Of excellence in
the graded work Of the pupils has
been established which, in time,
should make our public schools the
first in the state. The REGISTER has
been in close touch with his work dur
ing the entire year and believes that
Prof. Hill merits not only the in
creased salary he has received but is
entitled to the united support Of the
patrons of the city schools.
The other teachers engaged at this
sitting were Miss Woodbridge, prin-
cipal; Mrs. Hanna, Alice Barton, Miss
McAlmon, Miss Hegeman, Miss Col
grove and Miss Vaughn. We under
stand that several of the teachers
now employed will take up other
duties and have decided not to teach
the coming year. These vacancies
will be filed at a future meeting of
the board.
The board has adopted scaleyo
wages for the graded teachers which
will entitle several to an advance in
salary the coming year. The scale is
as follows: $40 for the first year;
S42. 80 for the second, and S45 for the
third. A new grade was also estab,
lished between the eighth and ninth
and will be placed in charge Of Miss
McAlmon. This will be denominated
the preparatory grade and will be used
for sitting purposes, or half yearly
promotions, and will be great ben
eft to the high school.
The city schools are now in very
fiourishing condition and with con-
tinuation Of the present policy should
grow and prosper. Prof. Hill has
gathered around him a splendid corps
of teachers who have afforded him able
assistance in bringing up the stan
dard Of excellence which, we believe,
will be maintained so long as he re-
mains superintendent.

Lake students of the college and are
pleased TO note that they are doing
nicely. The secretary Of the college
told me that Fred Almond Of this
place. was one OF the most progressive
and popular students in the school.
The Misses Sanborn, too, are very
popular students, and Miss Ethel will
finish her work at the college this
year. r. A. Larson, of this place is
one of the most competent and popu-
lar secretaries the college ever had,
and he is also a favorits among the
business and social elements Of the
town. Altogether our visit was an
extremely pleasant one.-Clear Lake

RUSH FOR HAY.
Wisconsin Dealers Can't Supply the
Demand for Bal ed Hay.

Demand for Bal ed Hay.
The REGISTER last summer and fall
called the attention Of farmers to the
shortage Of hay 10 the east and a
number of times suggested that there
was nice profit in putting 1t up for
shipment. The following taken from
Wisconsin papers would indicate that
we were not far wrong in our predic-
tions and that the advice was
timely.
Last weeks Waterloo (Wis.) Demo.
crat says that there was a large num-
Der of farmers in the city on Saturday
last looking for baled hay. 1t would
seem as though most of our farmers
were entirely out Of hay. Such a
condition as this has probably never
before been in this section. 1t will
stand the farmers in hand to see to 1t
that they are not caught shOrthanded
for feed stuff another season, it proves
too expensive to feed baled hay that
has been shipped in from some other
section.
At the same time there also appeared
in the Lake Mills (Wis.) Leader the
following: "Such rush for hay as is
now on, has never before been known
In this section Of country. A car load
is hardly flea bite to the demand
every day. Saturday last six cars
came to the station in the afternoon
and the dealers managed to keep a
little over for Monday by cutting the
sales down to each person. Every
effort is being made by the dealers to
meet the demand, but they cannot
get what they buy shipped fast enough
10 accommodate all customers, and
those Of whom they get 1T are running
out and raising the price"

LYNX CREEK DISTRICT
Good Results of Development Work
 on Several Properties

A -cW shaft was commenced on the first. on the Alice mine, and at eight feet in the repth We have a five foot body of ore which horns about $35 in gold per ion. The uew shaft is 200 feet south of the main shaft. The for nation is porphyry on the foot wall and granite on the hanging wall. The width between walls is six feet and the indications are very promising in every respect. Assays run from $z8 to S56 per ton in gold.
 In the double header some cross-cut- ting has been done in the sixty-five foot level to determine the size of the vein. Up to the present time it shows a seven foot ore body, principally galena with silver values from SIP to BPS per ton. This is a large vein. being over eight feet in width as far as known. We have not found the hanging wall and do not know its exact size yet.
 Some prospecting is being done on the Gold Dust mine this week, and a fine quality of gold and copper ore is being taken out. Free gold can be seen with the copper pyrites. This mine runs at right angles with the Alice. the north side line being the south end of the Alice.
 The above three mines are q part of the group belonging to the Hudson Gold Mining company. South of this group Mir. Lucas has driven his tunnel over 100 feet on the Red Indian mine which shows a continuous vein four feet in width the entire distance. This Is the south extension of the Alice vein.
 Mir. White and partner are sinking on the same vein south of the Lucas property. and are down 25 feet, show ing a good sized vein of ore of good quality.

He highly complimented the management for the economical and successful results attained in the de- velopment of the property.
 In Conversation with Superintendent Legge the Prospect is informed that the working shaft is now down 25O feet Jn the Hammer mine, and four feet of valuable sulphide ore shows in the bot tom. It is the intention of the com level and by drifts and cross-cuts thor 2ughly develop and explore the ore now in sight.-Prospect.

Ing Captain Marmaduke's war record, offered him a commission as captain in the Colombian navy. Captain Mar maduke accepted and secretly set to work to enlist men for service in South American waters. He found any num- Der of adventurous spirits willing to sell their services.
 The war vessel purchased by Senor Concha carries a number of high power guns purchased in England and sec ondary battery of one and six pounder rapid-fire guns, the counterpart Of those whose fire fairly smothered the Spanish torpedo boat destroyers in their futile dash from the harbor of Santiago during the Spanish American war.
 Captain Marmaduke is over six feet tall and straight as q lance. Despite his GO odd years. the fire and ambition of youth burns in his eye and it is not hard to believe the tales that history and tradition tell Of his reckless daring and gallant bearing in the face of dan ger. Captain Marmaduke says he will never return to the UnHed States. He considers that for the rest Of his life his services belong to the country that bought his sword.

Dave Brenneman and J. A.

At present they are running a drift from the O. foot level on the incline shaft, following a veir of black oxide of copper ore car rying considerable silver and lverag- ing something over $150 a ton. The drift will te continued for some dis tance and the ore stoped out to the sur face.
 Work will be continued on the cross cut from the main working shaft which is thought to be nearing the ledge of rich silver ore which crops on the surface and ran as high as sev- eral thousand ounces to the tor. The Sahuaro has every indication Of be- coming a big producer whenever it gets into the hands of men with sufficient money to develop it.
 William Brown and C. F.

About 10 o'clock in the morning they performed an operation in an endeavor to extract the bullet, but they were unable to reach it, and only succeeded in removing some woodeH splinters which had found Judgment in the jaw.
 The woman fingered in great pain for nearly two days, never fully, regaining consciousness after the operation. She died about 6 o'clock Tuesday evening, without having been able at any time to make a statement regarding the shooting.

QUITS HIS COUNTRY.
Ex- Confederate Officer Resigns Gov
 ernment Position.

Henry H. Marmaduke of Missouri, academy, veteran of the civil war, ex- officer of the Confederate navy, and survivor of the memorable bettle be- tween the Monitor and the Merrimac, dier of fortune. Captain Marmaduke left Washington several days ago after resigning his position in the war de- par:meIIt. an3 accepting a commission as captain in the navy of the Colombian government. He left for Seattle, where he will at once take command of the new war vessel recently purchased by Senor Concha, the Colombian minister to the United States, and as soon as possible will sail for the Pacific coast of Colombia, where he will give battle to the naval force of the victorious in- surgents.
 Captain Marmaduke received his commission from the Colombian gov ernment nearly a month ago, but so quietly have preparations been carried on that it was not until several days after his departure that the facts in the case came to light. In the resignation of the Confederate veteran from his po- sition in the war department, his re- nunciation of the stars and stripes and his decision to serve the rest of his life under the flag of a foreign country, there is more involved than a mere de- sire 10 return to a martial life.
 Captain Marmaduke is a brother Of ex-Governor Marmaduke of Missouri,
 
 ruined by that conflict. Shortly after his graduation from the naval academy, the civil war began and Captain Mar maduke resigned his commission in the United States navy and took service under the stars and bars. He partici- pated in many engagements and was an officer of the ironclad Merrimac dur ing her battle with the Monitor, and later served on the ram Alabama dur ing her battle with the Hartford and other vessels of Commodore Farragut's Mississippi squadron. He was a watch officer on the Alabama when the ram was sunk by a torpedo fired by Lieu tenant Cushing.
 After the close of the war Captain Marmaduke engaged in private busi- ness, but was unsuccessful. During the two aQlIllllS lTdllOLS OI fGeSlueHI CleNe- land he held an important position in the war department, but upon the re- turn of the republican party to power was reduced to the position of a $1,000 clerk on the temporary roll, where he remained until recently.
 After the defeat of the Colombian naval forces on the Pacific coast of the isthmus some time ago and the cap ture or destruction of all the govern i ment vessels by the insurgents, SenoT Concha, the Colombian minister to the United States, was instructed to en- dcavor to secure. the services of an American naval officer, preferably oue who had seen hard service and whose reputation for gallantry was well es- tablished. Senor Concha, after making i number of inquiries, and investiga.-
