GLADSTONE GROUP.
Interstate Mining Company
Still Pushing Ahead.

W. II. Mead, the Spokane mining
man who has been developing the Glad.
stone group, ten miles north west Of
Sumpter, for him.elf and associates for
some time, came in from whitney on
Monday and returned Tuesday. When
Mr.. Mead arrived from It Paul and
Spokane about ten days ago. he had
drafts for quite sum II money with
which to purchase a group Of claims In
the vicinity Of those he il developing.
Those drafts are now laid away, to bs
used on another deal or returned to Mr..
Mead's financial associates ~ he sees III,
for the party owning the claims had
raised the price to such \ figure that he
and MIR. Mead could not close dicker.
The question now 10. which Of the two
will be the better pleased AZ time rolls
on. o. tr.' .r
Regarding the Gladstone group, the
crosscut tunnel IL now In los feet. Two
leads which show no evidences Of their
existance on the surface, have been
crossed. One IL one foot and the other
sixteen feet wide. Both carry pay
values in gold. No drifting has been
done ON either IN yet, the company be.
ing determined to push the main tunnel
on to the big vein they are running for
before doing any additional prospecting.
1t IL not improbable hut that the
Interstate Mining company, this be.
ing the name Of the Incorporation. will
acquire other holdings In this district.
The company in u close corporation, no
stock being for sale tO outsiders.
It will require nearly 40 feet yet ol
tunnel before the main lead 10 cut. The
showing that will then be made will
probably tell how much Mr.. Mssd's
company will invest in the surrounding
country.

LEAVES HIS HAPPY HOME.
MadeIia Boy Starts Out to Take a
Look at the World.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
E. H. lockwood of Madelia is search
ing for his runaway boy. The boy, Ed
ward by name, left home early on the
morning of Nov. I'd. No trace of the
missing lad has been found except that
he rode seven miles out of Madelia on
the hand car with the section men on the
morning of his departure.
Mr.. lockwood admits that he correct
ed the lad but that he gave no indica-
ton of his intention to run away. He
had little money but took only his Or
binary working clothes that he wore at
! the time. He was attending school at
Madelia in the eighth grade and is a
bright boy of good habits and charac-
ter and well liked by all who knew
him. His mother was sick at the time he
left and worry over her sons absence
has made her condition serious.
Mr.. lockwood has put in all his time
searching for his son and asks the pub.
lie to assist him in locating the boy. He
! considers it probable that the lad is
working for some farmer husking corn.

COUNTY BUSINESS.
Commissioners Act on a Variety oil
Matter.

| From Fridays Daily.
The county board expects to adjourn
this afternoon. Nothing was done at
the session this forenoon except to SO
over the bills. Chairman Bruels and
County Surveyor Brooks went to the
new Yaeger culvert that is being con-
structed in Mankato township by Con
tractor Erickson. 1t is a stone box
culvert, five by seven feet, and sixty
feet long, with heavy fill above it. The
| work was found to be progressing salts
factorily, and will probably be complet-
ed in a week.
Yesterday afternoon the Nicollet coun-
| ty commissioners returned and entered
the commissioners room, but refused to
revise their proposition and meet Blue
Earth county half way in. the matter OF
the proposed new bridge over the Mime
sofa river at Judson. They said that
they had gone their length. They want
ed Blue Earth county to be at the ex-
pense of preparing plans and specitica-
lions to be submitted to them for their
APPROVAL or rejection. They would not
give more than $500 toward the
bridge.
The Blue Earth county commissioners
decided to drop the matter, and the visi-
tors retired and returned to their homes
across the river.
Commissioner Borchert reported that
he had sold the lumber and other materi-
ais used in the false work at the Cable
mill bridge to S. j. Cookson of Garden
City for $45, which amount he had turn
ed over to the county treasurer.
The county surveyor was directed to
prepare plans and specifications for a
steel bridge on stone piers at Zeigler's
ford over the Cobb river, section 81, De-
coria, and to report at the next meet
ing.
A complaint of John Mccarthy of a
washout at the bridge at his home was
read and on motion the matter was left
with Commissioner Epson with power to
act.
The ditch petition of NJ. j. Barney for
a ditch in Lincoln and Judson was read
and the hearing set for Wednesday, jan
9th, at p. m.

CAREER Of A TEACHER.
Miss Helen M. Phillips Who RetIres
From Normal Faculty.
From Fridays Daily.

| iAOAI iAutS .
Sorrow at the prospective departure
of Miss Helen NJ Phillips possesses not
not only the faculty and student body
of the normal school where she has
taught so long and so WELL but a vast
number of warm personal friends in the
city at large. For thirty years Miss
Phillips has rendered to the normal
school her almost uninterrupted service,
having had but two leaves of absence,
the first for spring term about fifteen
years ago, and the second during the
term of last winter which she spent in
California.
The girlhood home of Miss Phillips was
at Homer, n. Y, where she was raised
and educated at the Homer academy now
the CORTLAND academy. From this in
stitution she graduated in 1857.
During the next seven years she taught
in the Free academy of Elmira, N. Y,
covering during her sojourn nearly all
the subjects of the entire curriculum.
Her next engagement was at the College
of Milwaukee, ladies' institute, where
she taught mathematics and natural
science for seven years more.
In 1873 she began her long period of
service at the Mankato normal The in
stitution was but few years old then
and had but four teachers: Miss De-
Frama Hall, now Mrs. Swan, DR.. David
c. John, the president, Miss Phillips and
a primary teacher. Of these Miss Phil
lips and Mrs. Swan are the only mem
bers remaining in the faculty today.
Miss Phillips has taught nearly every
subject taught in the school, but her
main attention has been given to mathe-
mathics and literature especially the for
mer She will continue in her present
position as teacher of mathematics until
the close of the fall term on the day
before Thanksgiving.
| Miss Phillips is determined to retire
from the teaching profession altogether
but has not yet decided where she will
go. She has many relatives at her old
home of Homer, n. Y, but her own i'm
mediate family are scattered over vari-
GUS parts of Minnesota. Kansas and
Michigan. She is most likely, however.
to 60 to the little village of Republic
in Republic county, Kansas. where re-
sides her sister, Mrs. Mary Price. In
the years 1872 to 1875 Mrs. Price, then
Miss Mary Phillips, taught here in the
j Pleasant Grove and Union schools. In
1875 she was married to j. G. Price and
still practicing law at Republic.
