COMMOUORE My Open.

Present indications point to an
early reopening of the Commodore
mine, the Virginia property of Cor
rigan, Mckinney & Co. This prop
erty has been closed for many
months, the result of royalty re-
duction fight. The stockpile has
been cleared up this season, and
the property must again enter the
producing list to get out it's mini
mum. 1t is understood that new
machinery has been. ordered, to re
place some which has been remov,
ed since the property was closed
and that active preparations for
work will begin shortly. The Com,
modore ore is of high grade, and
prior to the flooding of the mine the
ore body was nicely developed.

kIuBERLY'S UTAH BON1Nza

Captain Henry Clay Lawrence,
one of the pioneer mining engin-
eers of Denver, who is now engaged
in mining in Utah, in a letter to
friend here, received today reports
that the Sewer Consolidated Gold
Mining company has struck in it's
shaft near Kimberly, Ut tah,an eight-
foot vein of quartz with free gold
showing all through it. He also
reports that the Annie Laurie mine
in that vicinity has just been bond
ed for $5,O0OOO9. 1t is stated that
the most eminent of American min
ing experts have exhaustivelv in
vestigated this property and pro-
nounced it the greatest gold mine
in the world. 1t is owned by Peter
l.. Kimberly, known as the father of
the iron industry in the Chenango
Valley of Pennsylvania. He is en-
ormously wealthy and has operated
copper mines in Arizona and other
mines in various parts of the West.
With a small force of men engaged
in breaking ore, he is netting $4,000
to $5O,OOO per month from the Annie

ture corporation of London secured

State High School Board Acts

ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION.

ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION.
The school of this city advanced
from a graded to a State High
School last Saturday, by the action
of the State High School Board,
which held it's meeting in the libra
ry building of the State University.
For several years we have had
high school, but have been unable
to receive recognition from the
state because the State Board is
watching the schools more closely
and demanding that the qualifica-
tions be fulfilled IN every particu-
lar before any consideration is Civ
en- them.
The great benefit to the city is
that our pupils are now on an equal
footing with the pupils of other
high schools of the state. A pupil
completing certain year here can
enter the next advanced year in any
state high school without trouble
or examination. An extra appro-
priation of one thousand dollars is
also received.
During the past year we received
inspections from the State Graded
School Inspector, High School In
spector, and State Superintendent
of Public instruction. They all had
a vote in the promotion of the
school. 1t is not the high school
alone that is considered, but the en-
tire grades, the system of instruc-
ton, qualifications of teachers, and
equipments of the laboratory, H.
brary, etc.
We are pleased to learn of this ex-
cellent standing of our schools, and
the magnificent record of the pupils
in their work. The school is an in
stitution which enters into nearly
every family of a community, and
as result all are interested in it's
standing.
It is only fair to say that this ad-
vancement of our school is largely
due to the liberal and progressive
policy of the school board. the gen
eral excellence of the teaching force,
and the tireless energy and high
executive ability of Superintendent
S. w. Gilpin.

Mikes ANOTHER DEAL

A mine deal of considerable i'm
portance was reported yesterday.
1t was said that Capt. NJ. L. Fay, of
Virginia, disposed of his interests
in the Webb mine on the Mesaba
range for $280,00O to the Oliver-Sny-
der people. The ore is reported to
be of good grade.
Captain Fay, when seen at the St.
Louis Hotel by News Tribune re.
porter, refused to confirm or deny
the report, but it is stated on reli-
able authority that the deal is to be
consummated today.
The Webb mine is in section G.
town 57-20, adjoining the Hibbing
townsite. The explorations which
are not yet quite completed, show
up about 100000 tons of ore, it is
said. NJ. H. Allworth and others
have been the fee owners, and Capt
Fay has had the lease.
It is understood that agents Of
Oliver-Snyder people have been in
Duluth for some time, endeavoring
to buy or obtain options on anoth-
er mine or two, and the Webb mine
has been under consideration bv
them for several weeks. It is be.
ieved that intentions are to rush
work on developing and opening
up the property.-News Tribune.

MEETING POPULAR APPROVAL.
While Virginia has some public
improvements-many of them, in
fact-far in advance of many older
cities, there has always been need
of one more, the establishment of a
proper sewerage system.
The necessity of such an improve.
ment has been the easubject of much
discussion within the past two
years. but never took on a semb.
lance of possibility owing to the
onerous burden 1t would impose on
our people and on a bonded city,

reached where people give ear to
the city's greatest need, and evince
Willingness to pay a special as
| sessment for such purpose at any
time.
DR.. c. B. Lenont has had much to
do toward sounding the trend of
popular sentiment, as also in look
ing into the matter of prospective
cost, which as given by Contractor
Dowling will be about $1.1O per Ii
neal foot. Property owners on
Chestnut street are almost unani
nous in expressing a desire that
the work be done, and it is more
than likely that the question will
receive consideration at the coun-
Gil meeting on Tuesday evening
next
The proposition is for twelve inch
mains in the alleys either side of
Chestnut, joining in an extension
into Silver Lake below the power
house. The cost of street crossings
and lake extension would naturally
be city expense, but not one of
such great magnitude but what the
city fathers can see their way clear,

ton may be taken at an early date,
