There are nearly 200 newspapers and
periodicals published in North Dakota,
about fifty papers having been started
during the vast two years. This tells
the story of the rapid development OF
the western part of the state. There
are seven dailies published in the
state-the Herald and Plaindealrr at
Grand Forks. Forum and Call at Fargo.
Alert and Capital at Jamestown and
Tribune at Bismarck. The Tribune
is the oldest newspaper in the state.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1902-02-22

During the year 1901 there were 73
rainy days at Bismarck; only 81
cloudy days; 112 partly cloudy and 1GG
clear days. The atmosphere of North
Dakota in the winter months is dry
and invigorating and the statement
that 20 or 80 degrees below zero
weather here causes less suffering and
inconvenience than zero and 10 de-
grees above zero weather causes in the
central, eastern and southern states,
will be vouched for by all residents OF
the state who have formerly lived in
other states. Chills and fever, ague and
states. Chills and fever, ague and
malaria are unknown in North Dakota.
The North Dakota ozone. as General
Miles has said, is good for the devel-
opment of the lungs of both man and
beast.

There was not much new building in
Bismarck last veal but there was a
great deal of improving, painting and
remodeling. Now every residence in
the city is occupied and the demand is
imperative for more residences. Build
ing operations in the city and country
promise to be brisk this year.

THE. SCHOOL AMENDMENT.

We will publishin our next the consti-
tutional amendments to be voted at
the coming election and invite their
careful perusal. Themostimportant
to our mind is the one dealing with
the public school fund.
About one.fourth OF the money
spent for teachers salaries now comes
from the State treasury.
Every taxpayer in the State pays
15c on the $10e for State revenue
purposes, one. third of which becomes
a part OF the State school money.
Every taxpayer pays 10c on the
500 into the State interest and
Sinking Fund. 1t takes about &c OF
this to pay the interest on the
"School Certificates. The other Sc
is used in paying the interest on the
outstanding bonds Of the State and
in redeeming the bonds. This &c will
not be needed for that purpose after
this year, because all the bonds oil
the state except the school certificates
will be paid.
Should the proposed amendment
be adopted the Sc levy will cease and

him 10 stump the state for the ticket

"This is the last year a few coal
conspirators will grip $4,000, 900
Americans by the throat and charge
them five or ten times as much for

TOHOpah Ore.

During period of seven months
Messrs Knapp q Luke made assays of
Tonopah ores in the aggregate of
800 samples. In each case there
was the usual surplus, pieces large
and small, which were thrown into a
box until the accumulation amounted
to 2, 400 pounds. There is no ques-
tion but that every mine, ledge, vein
or ore body in the camp was repre-
sented in the collection, the largest
pieces probably being left from the
lower grades. The returns gave
values of 1856 ozs. silver and S53 gold
per ton. For reason that the greatest
of assays are made for the
purpose Of ascertaining the value of
doubtful ores, it is not probable that
there was more than small per cent
of the richest rock contained in the
general dump. However, we doubt if
there is any other mining sec ton
known where seven thousand samples
would show up an average value of
over $50 per ton in the yellow metal
alone. Messrs. Knapp & Luke
are entitled to credit for bringing
about the test, as well as giving the
mining public the benefit of the in

ELECTRICITY ON DUTY.
TonCpah Light and Power Com
pany Hume the Town.

pany hume the lOWn.
Without any more heralding than
the rapid placing Of few lamps
here and there, on Thursday after
noon last, the Electric Light and
Power company started up their big
engine and turned on the current.
The date thus became notable in the
annals of Tonopah
Although intended solely and only
for the purpose of preliminary test
of the system, as to the accurate ad-
lustment of the ten thousand and one
intricate details involved, all the
hundreds of lights showed steadi-
ness absoutely ly perfect, demonstrate
ing beyond doubt that the great gas
engine installed and employed by the
company is II mechanical triumph.
Indeed, it comprises all the very
latest adaptations and Improvements
known to the skilled engineers of the
Westinghouse company, and there is
nothing newer or better in any coun
try. The same may truthfully be
said of the dynamo and its com
plement of electrical appliances
which form important parts of the
comprehensive and effective whole.
The grand utility of electric lights
is, of course, too well known for
much elaboration. 1t supercedes
dangerous and costly oil, as well as
more dangerous and more costly pri-
vate gas works and gasoline lamps,
1t will supplant lamps at the hoists,
and to some extent, candles in the
mines. AT the simple touch Of ii
button there comes ample light at
exactly when you want it, 1t is
factor in the economics of property
saving and property insurance.
AS we understand it, the agree
ments made previous to the intro
duclion of the plant provided for
lower rates than are charged in
many towns where facilities are bet
ter and contingent expenses greatly
less. Saying nothing Of the worry
and trouble inseparable to any other
method of lighting, it transplres that
the electric lights will cost less. 1t
is safer and better for all that every
house in town should be wired at once
for the intrOduc tion aud use of cleo
trio lights, The enterprise, having
demonstrated its ability to meet all
the requirements OF Tonopah as it is
and as much larger as it surely will
be, should be given the unqualified !
support that it richly deserves. The |
of power when demand !
ed will follow along the line as the
town increases and Improvements
develop. The BONANZA accords to
the Messrs. Watson, their able de
partment chiefs and the whole com
pany in fact, due need of praise for
their Inauguration and completion of
the most important industrial aid 50
far acquired by Tonopah.
