IN SOUTHEASTERN ARIZONA.
New Mining District East of Douglas
 Makes Good Showing.

A considerable stir is being caused by recent developments in the new mining district about ten miles east of Douglas. on the American side, says the International American. Some very rich specimens have been brought in recently from that country. Not long ago the Clark boys made ne.y strike on their property, which they call the Homestake mine, which has been inn proving with every days work
 The surface showed lead in co nsider- able quantities. and they conn nenced sinking on this. At a depth of twenty feet they began to encounter copper. They are now working two shifts and have lumber on the ground to tim ber the shaft, which is being sunk on Assure vein near a lime and IoTtphry contact.
 Considerable work is being donH in this district by other parties, who are opening up some good prospects
 The formation of the country is lime and porphyry. running north and south, and most of the ore has been found in veins running northeast and southwest, rear the contact of the two formations.
 The copper ores encountered so far have been black and red oxide and pyrites. running from 9 to 40 per cent and carrying from B to ST in gold and from 10 to 40 ounces in silver. The lead ore runs from 15 to so per cent, and also carries gold and silver. As says from that country have run as high as S262 in gold and as high as fifty ounces in silver.
 Conservative mining men state that from present indications this district bids fair to become a rival of Bisbee as q mining camp. The country is all ready staked off for miles around.

THE THREE "R's" ONCE MORE,
PennsYlvania's School Superinte ndent Whacks tke "Isms" and "Ologies."

Snte Superintende of Public In- struction, Nathan C. Schaeffer, in his admirable address on "rhe Core of the School Cirriculum.' before the I.uzerne County Teachers institute. emphasized the importance of giving due attention tC the teachings of the fundamentals of early education too often displaced by studies, "isms' and "ologies,' which are properly designated as educational "fads." Superintendent Schaeffer's re- marks had special application to iuit- crate children of foreigners, who are arriving here in constantly increasing numbers. and who must be educated, if educated at all. in the common schools.
 The superintendent well said that it is nct q knowledge "Of the whale or an Oriole' that these people need, but the ability to read and write. The sensible observation has a much wider appica-
 ton. It applies with equal force to our

This is the first inspection of the

Americas Light Infantry the tq1aI OF
any command IN the state service in
point of efficiency, neatness and care
of equipment. The company has lined
up for official inspection before, and
never yet has it been found lacking in

rules.
This test, however, may be a Bit
more severe than others, as army off.
GERS are quite rigid in making inspec.
tions of this character.
Major French's mission is of first
importance and bears double interest,
in that it is the first inspection OF
Georgia state troops by an officer OF
the regular army. The object is tc
ascertain the enlisted strength of the
state volunteer service and the amount
of equipment needed by the several
commands.
The inspection is compulsory, an6
