In Lincoln county.
A. Walker, who ownes fourteen claims
near Darwin, Inyo county, recently
bonded the property to a British Colum-
ba syndicate for 100000. The ore is 81
per cent copper.
The total bulk assay value of the ore
yield of Comstock mines last week was
1915. OF this the Con Cal. & vo. pro-
duoed $3s43; Ophir. $2,179; Silver Hill,

1t is rumored that the Tip Top, Dick
Bland and other mining properties in the
Centennial mining district owned by A.
j. Sinclair and the Riddle brothers, have
been bonded to Eastern capitalists in the
sum of $4,000 for term of eighteen
months.-Tuscarora Times-Revie
1t is reported on good authority that
the gold and copper mine at Iron canyon,
this county, was sold last week to Phil
adeiphia and Chicago capitalists for a
large sum. This property was sold to
ex-senator Pettigrew, A. E. Hyde and
Jesse w. Fox Jr. last December for $780,
600. since which time time the property
has been worked and a large amount
of ore extracted. 1t is said the mine to-
day is looking fine with large ore bodies
in sight.-Batte Mountain Central Ne

At the Fraction development work is
progressing with due diligence with some
sixty men employed. The most impor-
tant work is sending down the shafts to
a good depth before cross-cutting. No. l
shaft is nearing the 400-foot mark, and
not until that depth is reached will they
start the connection to No. 2, the big
main working shaft At the big shaft a
depth of 300 feet will be reached this
week, and they expect to reach the 40t
before November 1st. They are doing the
phenomenal fast work of putting in set
a day at this shaft. which means that
they are sinking at the rate of five feet
every twenty-four hours When one fig
ures the amount of rock they remove from
a space OF 7xl7x5 feet one can appreciate
why the dump at this shaft is growing
so rapidly Some 200 sacks of ore are now
awaiting shipment.-Tonopah Bonanza.

Elias Day.
street.

Elias Day had his day here Mon
day night and it was good one.
The people were amused and
pleased with his Characterization
With facility he shifts from one
distinctive character to another and
is equally at home in naturalness
in all. 1t may be said that his
characters are exaggerations. But
these are the only ones that have a
striking effect. 1t would be of
little interest to people to be obliged
to listen to or witness the exhibit
tons of ordinary people. We see
them every day and everywhere and
are so accustomed to them that a
reiteration of their manners and
qualities would be irksome. Only
those things that are out of the or
binary attract instant attention and
command our interest. Days forte
is to give us the striking, extrava-
giant characteristics of odd people.
This attracts and holds our atten-
ton; interests and amuses US. We
have never seen better make-ups,
more natural representations of
oddities. In all his Characterization
he was good. Some were perhaps
better pleased with certain of his
characters than others. His repre-
sentation of the Delsarte, the French
pianist of high art, the Kentucky
Colonel, the Jew and Brother Wat
kin's farewell were all prettily done
and gave abundant amusement.
The most of these were 1udicrous,
the Jew, perhaps the most SO. The
Kentucky Colonel was more serious
1y dramatic but was rendered with
a faultlessness that received special
favor. Mr.. Day, in posing as z
characterize, is undoubtedly one of
the best in this line. The only
criticism expressed was that he did
not at all times adapt his voice to
the audience in the remoter parts of
the room. Some complained that
| thew could not hear all that he said

The Evolutionary and musical re-
cital held at the Methodist Episcopal
church last Friday evening was in
every respect a decided success.
This was the first appearance before
a New London audience of Miss
Katharine Carroll Smith, the
favorite reader and impersonator.
Her selections were all we'll rend-
cred and from the repeated encores
greatly delighted the people. Miss
Smith displayed great ability as a
reader, and we can bespeak for her
a cordial welcome should she visit
New London again.

Mr.. Joel Barnett passed away at
the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Howard Pratt, in this city, Monday,
Dec. 8, 1902. His death was the
result of no particular ailment, but
followed from the failure of the
physical forces attending advanced
age. The passage from life to
death was peaceful and painless.
N-"Sustained and soothed
BY an unfaltering trust, approached his grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him and lies down to pleasant dreams"
Mr.. Barnett was born in Holland,
Erie county, N. Y, June %, 1878.
March q, 1874, he married Miss
Adele C. Mckay of Aurora, N. Y.
For two years they made their
home at Buffalo, after which they
moved to Arcade in the same state,
until the fall of 1852 when they
came west, locating at Cottage
Grove, Mimi. Having acquaintan-
ces in the vicinity they moved to the
town of Kinnickinnic and settled on
farm three miles north of this
city. Here for thirty-two years
they lived, raised family and en-
joyed the friendship and respect OF
a large acquaintance.
His first wife died Oct. 7, 1886,
and on Oct. 9, 1897, he married Mrs,
Laura Moffat, sister of his first
wife. The winter of 1873 he pass
ed in California in company with
his wife and daughter, and since
that time had made his home in
this city.
To Mr.. Barnett and his first wife
were born six children, only two Of
which survive-E. DeForest Bar
nett of ST. Paul and Mrs. Grace A
Pratt of this city. His second wife
died June II, 1900.
The funeral over the remains o.
Mr.. Barnett was held from the resi-
dence of his daughter yesterday
afternoon, Rev. D. B. Spencer con
Quoting the service.
Joel Barnett belonged in that rare
class of men justly designated the
salt of the EARTH man who pre-
served the good of the past and
made the world better by precept
and example. Quiet and unassum
ing in manner, gentle in DISPOSE
ton, with a just regard to the
rights of others, his conduct com
manded the respect of all and wor
for him the sincere affection anc
lasting friendship of intimate &C
| quaintances.

Superintendent Ingli pleads for
the appointment of deputy super
intendent of schools so that the
superintendent may devote his time
to the inspection of schools. He
says the stress of office work takes
much of the time of the superin-
tendent; that the teachers need
assistance at the opening of the
school year TO organize and classify.
Unless the superintendent can re-
main in a school long enough to
become acquainted with the organi-
cation and classification of school,
the methods employed by the teach
er and various other matters, so
that he can give the teacher some
helpful advice, little can be accom-
plished. If he goes into school,
sits in a corner with folded arms,
looking wise or otherwise, for half
an hour, and then goes TO the next
school, his visit is a farce" Assam
ing that the teachers understand
the theory and art of their profess
sion it may be readily seen that
without a supervising head there
may be great diversity of methods
in school management. The super
visor with adequate opportunity
can seucre a better uniformity. He
can do this best by visits to the
school, observing what is correct
and what is defective, according to
his standard. He can readily tell at
a glance whether the school is in
dustrious or not. If he sees mani
fest an inclination to work, an
interest in study, he may be sure
the pupils are doing their share,
but this condition of studiousness
does not prove that the best organi-
cation, classification, methods, are
in use. To determine this requires
a thorough insight into the methods,
which can only be secured by pro-
tracted visit. However if the teach
er is qualified and the pupils
studious, the school will be reason
ably successful without the super
vision of the superintendent.

No. Winter apples at Carroll's
The Price of Wood.

There ought to be definite mar
ket price for wood. A man brings
load of wood to town with an in
definite idea of it's value in the
market. He wants all he can get
for it as matter of course but there
being no established price he does
not know what to ask. SO one man
disposes of a load at his own price
and is afterwards dissatisfied, learn
ing that some other man had sold a
load for more. The purchasers are
also dissatisfied with the trade.
This way of selling wood is incon-
venient both for the sellers and the
buyers. The purchaser, knowing
that there is no regular price gener-
ally expects to get load for less
price than the seller at first asks.
Of course the price must be modi-
fed by the grade, but for sound,
dry maple there should be fixed
price; for oak a fixed price; and SO
for other kinds.
