They TOuchinglv Appeal to Andrew
Carnegie.
AND THE TOUAH FOR $4,000.
Bayfield, Is to Have New Public Library
as a Result.-The Good Work of
Prominent Citizens Brings
~ Splendid Results.

Bayfield, has been put on the list
for Carnegie Library, and a hand
some structure to cost $4,000 is to
be built. Andrew Carnegie has un-
loosened his purse strings. and has
granted the application made by the
town of Bayfield,. The town guar
antees a site and an annual appro-
priation for maintenance of $1,000
each year. The library board. OF
Bayfield, has had the matter of new
library under consideration with
Mr.. Carnegie for several months,
and; to w. w. Downs, president OF
the Board, belongs the principal
credit for landing the Institution.
There remains several things in the
way of making arrangements for the
acceptance of the gift, but all these
things will be complied with, and in
a very short time it may be expected
that the work upon the new Carnegie
library at Bayfield,, will be under
way. Bayfield, is to be congratu-
lated upon her excellent success il
securing SO fine gift, and there is
no place in the whole country where
it would be more appreciated or
more thoroughly enjoyed than
among our neighbors up the bay.

tits Told at Madison by the Goa
Agents.
MR.. GIBSON VISITS THE CAPITAL
Agent of the North Western Fuel Co M
pany Tells Senate Committee That
If They Will Move to- Washburn
They Need not suffer for Coal.

John w. Gibson, the local age Mt
OF the Northwestern Fuel Company,
returned Friday from Madison,
where he was witness before the
investigation committee of the Sen
ate, having charged of proposed leg
islation intended to benefit the con-
ditions in the coal business through
out the state. Mr.. Gibson appeared
before Senator McGillivray and his
fifteen Senators, and told them that
if they would move to Washburn he
would sell them all the coal they
wanted at $3.50 ton, that for five
weeks he supplied the local consum-
ers at $7.75 a ton. How obout
outsiders getting coal at your dock, !"
asked one of the Senators. "Well,
it's getting late in the. season." re-
piled the agent, and as we have
more than will be needed for local
use we wouldn't object any to giving
our Ashland neighbors little Goa
if they needed it pretty bad. But
the point with us is to take care of
our local trade, and as Washburn is
about the best town in the state
anyway, you gentlemen Of the COM
mittee had better make it your
home, and you will seldom be
troubled about coal matters" Mr..
Gibson and the other coal men from
the head of the lakes told the COM
mitee that they did not set the price,
but that it was made for them by the
mine owners or their representatives.
they added that they received in
structons as to what price to charg 9
from st Paul and acted according ly.
The witnesses stated that they could
give no Information as to what the
prices of coal were at the mines, or
what it cost to put it down at the
dock. AS Mr.. Gibson left the stand
one Of the Senators said that he did
not see that the people OF Washburn
had much to complain of in regard
to coal, when in some other places in
the state the prices had gone soaring
above SIS a ton. The Senate com :
mitCee had many witnesses before
them.

The Holmes Mine.

A letter to E. G.. Stevens from
Mellen says that a new pump has
just been purchased at cost of $3.50
for the Holmes mine, as the water
has commenced to run into the shaft
rapidly. Parties interested in the
mine are hopeful for ore, but do not
know whether to expect gold, copper
or some other ore. Outsiders are
beginning to wonder whether She
Holmes shaft is big "pipe" or the
real genuine article, The Mellen
Weekly is claiming that it is the
real thing, and said Of the mine in
! its last issue:
There is now no question as to the
outcome Of the Holm es Mine, as
Mondays blast brought forth rock
fairly lined with free milling gold
iore Tuesdays blast the same.
This goes to show that large bo-
dy OF gold ore is near at hand if not
already found
When President Holmes on Mon
day brought in specimens Of roc k
that qlittered with little nuggets Of
gold it created great excitement in
our little village. AL that you
could hear on the streets was that
the Holmes mine had struck it rich,
and a number Of our home citizens
purchased stock on the strength Of
1T. The shaft is down 142 feet, and
there is great deal Of yellow copper
to be seen at the bottom and free
milling gold ore close to the foot
wall, and sticking to it.
President Holmes called direc-
tors meeting Of those near at han d
yesterday for the purpose of raising
the price of stock or taking it off the
market. After due consideration it
was decided to raise the stock TO 25c
per share after February 20th This
leaves fifteen days more in which to
buy stock at Zoe, unless the director
should deem it advisable to call a
meeting and raise it still higher
We predict that within very snort
period, from the outlook now, that
stock will jump to 50 or $40 per
share, or be taken off the market.
All who have visited the mine, al
most to person, have purchased
stock, aud all that is asked Of our
home citizens and neigb0oring cities
is to have you visit the Holmes
mine, aud suit yourselves about
buying stock after you have fully in
vestigated It's prospects. 1t is only
q short drive or walk. and you will
be treated well, we know, for we
bave been there ourselves. Mr..
Holmes is we'll deserving Of the good
fortune that seems to be in sto re for
him.

SCHOOL MATTERS.
Secretary Sheridan Gives Some .Informa :.

Secretary Sheridan Gives Some Informa- =
tiol.
For the benefit OF citizens who are
interested in School matters, we de-
sire to say a few words concerning
the condition of your schools
First-We have visited most of
the schools lately and find that the
schools as whole are in good shape
and our teachers doing excellent
work.
Of course it is impossible to haveE
everything perfect. We have a.
couple of rooms not as strong as we
would like.
Second-The attendance at school
is not what it ought to be, as the
following figures will show:
The total enrolment in the VILLAGE
of Washburn is +. .84a
Average attendance. ....... 692
Those enrolled absent from
SSAASoA
The school census of the village of
Washburn gives 1881. Children of
school age counting the 692 in at
tendance at the public schools and
about 200 in the Parochal school,
making 1872 attending school and
639 children of school age not at
tending. ~
This looks bad for the parents Of
Washburn with the school advan-
tages we have got here. Il
Third-The cost per pupil for.
those attending school is about
$17.O in the town. If all that are
enrolled were in attendance the cost
would be about $3.50 each. This
is below the average in the cities of
the state. The Wisconsin blue
book OF 1901 gives the cost per
pupil for cities at $500. The cost
per pupil for the outlying country
schools is more, being about $500
so that the claims of our friends that
we spend all school money in town
is not true as we find the cost per
pupil in the country to be about
twice as much as in the town.
The cause of this difference is the
small atten dance in some places
while cost of maintaining the schoo
is about the same as the cost of one
room in town.
Our high school has an enrolment
this year OF II and an average at
tendance Of Sc, and is doing good
work.
Our manual training departments
has a daily attendance of about CO.
We are sorry that there is not
more interest manifested by parents.
Come in and see what the young
people are doing.

MISS REBECCA MACKENZIE.

To Appear at the Opera House Thursday
of Next Week.
Miss Rebecca Mackenzie, the
celebrated Sopranoist, will visit
Washburn Thursday of next
week, and in the evening will
give an entertainm ent at the
Opera House. A guarantee has
been secured, and it is more than
likely that the occasion will be
one of particular interest, es-
pecially to those who are fond of
the best music, and who have an
appreciative ear for choice sing
ing. THE TIMES is enabled to
give it's readers a number of
comments upon the work Of Miss
Mackenzie in different parts of
the country and in Europe.
They are as follows:
In a program of seventeen.
songs, one opera aria and one
oratorio aria Miss Mackenzie
showed a versatility of gifts that
completely won her audience.
AS song recitals of educational
interest like hers are rarely
given in Brooklyn we publish the
list. y = y Her voice is brilliant
and flexible, practically in the
upper register. Her mezza
voice is effective without being
affected.
Miss Mackenzie sang. her
songs .charmingly, and at times
it became evident that her sense
of humor was not lacking. The
Gounod Aria, as she sang it, was
a good example of colorature
singing. The voice of the singer
was under Igood control. Musi-
Courier; N. Y.
Miss Mackenzie has a soprano
voice of high range and it is
highly cultivated, but not so
much that her native power has
been suppressed; in fact she could
be heard with pleasure in the
Academy of Music. Miss Mac
kenzie eyinced capacity in many
directions, for she sang pieces in
many rfg1ages and by compos-
ers of many moods, giving ade-
quate Interpretation ineach turn.
Perhaps her singing of an air
from "Mirella," by Gounod,
brought out the greatest ap-
plause, not only for it's finished
delivery, but also for the purity
and clearness Of the upper
notes. The program is an indi-
cation Of the wide range Of Miss
MacKenzie's powers. Brooklyn
Eagle, N. Y.
Miss Rebecca Mackenzie, the
WelI-lznoWn singer Of New York,
was the guest Of the club (the
Euterpe Club and sang to re
peated enc0ures. Her interpre-
tation and colorjng is perfect

In the concert in the Mer-
chants Institute Hall, yesterday
evening, the public had an OPP
portuuity TO renew q pleasant
acquaintance, and make a new
one particularly pleasing.
Miss Rebecca Mckenzie, a
young American whose appear
ance at once took the public, has
a fresh, beautiful, ringing So
prano that shows very good
training, and she has q lively and
intelligent delivery. The young
singer rendered songs in many
languages, among which the
Swedish and Norwegian were
so distinctly sung that it would
make many Of our northern
singers blush. -Goteb0rgs Pos

Fred Lee stands charged with the
crime of malicious mischief. In the
information against him it is alleged
that November % he maliciously and
wlfully set fire to and caused to burn
two stacks of hay containing about

ton, as did Will Purvis and Bruce
Renwick, despite the fact That
they were in excellent voice and more
than sustained their well earned repu-
tations as vocalists. Encores and
special numbers by volunteers, with
the music of the orchestra, made up
the rest of the programme devoted
to the concord of sweet sounds"
All the time knives and forks were
busy and the walters kept the glasses
filled, so that it was anything but dry
eating, and between bites the chair
man kept the money pouring in by
the liberal and unstinted manner in
which he imposed fines, and in doing
SO showed an originality of invention
that would make him a terror to evil
doors were he ever elevated to the
judiciary. The fact that he played no
favorities alone kept him from being
lynched. When at the end he impos-
ed a good, stiff fine upon himself, and
paid it, he was forgiven and faith in
the integrity and fairness of the chair
remained unimpaired.
At last all had been fined, the books
were closed, the collectors, Messrs.
Chris Yegen and G. G. Bever, we're, dis
charged and the treasurer filed a new
bond. Then it was announced that
forcible collections Of contributions
were at an end and the men with
stories and songs that they had been
afraid to "spring" came to the front
and enlivened the proceedings.
1t was shortly after 2 o'clock when
the signal for the herd to disband
was given. All arose and the room
rang with the melody of Aud Lang
Syne' and with wishes for a Happy
New Year the roundup was over, to
live long in memory and to be the sub
ject of many pleasant thoughts dur
ing the months to come.

TO benefit YELLOWSTONE.
Senator Yegen Will Try for an Elk
pertinent Station.

From Fridays Daily Gazette.
When Senator-elect Yegen. goes to
Helena next week to begin his duties
in the state senate as member from
this county he will at once set the bail
rolling to secure an appropriation for
maintaining an experimental station
for Yellowstone. Senator Yegen some
time ago had a talk with Governor
Toole and took occasion to call the
governors attention to the fact that
the experimental station at Bozeman
is of very little benefit to the farm
ing interests of the Yellowstone val
ley, for the reason that the climatic
conditions at Bozeman are widely diff
ferent than those in this part of the
state. There is a difference of near
" 1000 feet in the elevation between
the two localities, and many Of the
field and garden products raised sue
cessfully in the Yellowstone valley
cannot be cultivated even in the way
of an experiment in the neighborhood
of Bozeman.
Mr.. Yegen does not wish to assure
his constituents that he will be sue
cessful with the measure he has in
view, but he promises The Gazette
that he will use every honorable eff
fort to bring about the passage of a
law which will establish a station
here during the coming summer. The
senator-elect has had a wide range of
experience in the cultivation of field
and garden products and will apply
his knowledge in his argument for
the passage of the bill.
His colleague from the county in
the lower house, Mr.. Bever, will cham.
pion Mr.. Yegen's bill vigorously III
that branch of the legislature should
it be successful in the senate.

LARGE CRIMINAL CALENDAR.
Many Defendants Awaiting Trial Be-
fore judge Loud.

From Fridays Daily Gazette. i
When the January term of the dis
trict court convenes here next Mon,
day morning, Judge Loud will find
the largest criminal calendar that he
has yet faced as judge in this coun-
ty. Besides there will be consider
able civil business to call for his time
and attention. 1t is estimated that
court will be in session a month and
it is doubtful if even then the calen-
dar will be cleaned up.
The following are the criminal
cases on the docket:
State VS.. James Cook and L. Har-
ris, driving stock from their locus
toned range.
State VS.. Lee, malicious mischief.
state VS.. S. B. Roberts, grand lar
ceny.
State VS.. Leonard Luther, grand
larceny.
State VS.. L. M. Hayden, murder.
State VS.. r. L. Glunt and Clyde
Bentley, grand larceny.
State VS.. Minnie Farrell, grand lar

State VS.. Ed. Walling, Robert
Warner and Albert Glover, assault in
second degree.
State VS.. Louis Leon, assault in the
first degree.
State VS.. Walter Cox, forgery.
State VS.. Edna White, robbery.
State VS.. McFarlane, forgery.
State VS.. P. d. Watkins. forgery.
Aside from the foregoing there is
a likelihood that one or more cases
will re acdcd carly during the term.

More Defendants Must Answer t
District Court.

Four new informations have been
filed in the district court by County
Attorney Hathhorn. In the first Wal
ter Cox is charged with the crime of
forgery, it being alleged that he pass
ed a check for $3.50, purporting to be
issued by E. H. Staples on the Boston
store, when the same was fraudulent.
Eddie Walling, Robert Warren and
Albert Glover are charged in another
with having committed assault in the
second degree On James Miller, Sep
TENDER "a. October IA the defendants
were given preliminary hearings be-
fore Justice Fraser and held to the
district court. They have been in
Jail ever since.
A sensational feature in connection
with this case was the attempt to
spirit the complaining witness, Mil
Ter, out of the county. In the as
sault made on him Miller received
severe injuries and was confined to
the hospital for several weeks. Be-
fore he had fully recovered some
friends of the defendants by promises

DEER LoWGE MEMBERS WILL
ACT INDEPENDENTLY.
STEER CLEAR OF CAUCUS
Have Never Affiliated With State
Organization Which Nominated
Martin Dee.

Helena, Jan. lone of the peculiar
ing of the legislature is the
ment that on the floor of the house of
representatives there will be two sets
of members known as labor men.
One labor party, will be composed of
ali the men elected on the so-called
labor ticket at the last election, with
the exception of at least three of the
five Deer Lodge county representa-
tives, who, in all probability, with
the remaining "labor" members from
that county will constitute labor par
ty No. g."
Yesterday afternoon three of the
Deer Lodge representatives-Frel
Gangner, l.. E. Beaudry and ]. H.
Swend-arrived in Helena, and on
their arrival it was announced by close
friends of the Deer Lodge men. that
they did not trot in the same class
with the labor representatives from
Silver Bow county, and that if the Sill
yer Bow men attempted to call a au-
Gus for the purpose of passing around
the few empty honors held by a mi
nority party the Deer Lodge men
would decline to enter the caucus. In
addition to this, when the vote for
the house these three votes, together
with possibly those of O'Keefe and
Morrisey, the other two labor mem
| bers from Deer Lodge county, will be
cast for w. r. Allen, the only repub-
lican member from that county and
one of the men prominently mentioned
in the speakership contest.
The Deer Lodge county men claim
no utilization with the labor" party
| that has been identified with the
HeinZe movement. It is asserted that
the party organization over in the
| Smelter town was maintained sim
ply as a county affair, and that it had
no connection with the state organiza-
ton known by the same name.
There are two labor parties" said
a man who is familiar with the sit
uation yesterday. Zone Of these is
the party known throughout the state
as the labor party and operating in
all of the principal counties except
Deer Lodge, and the other is the Deer
Lodge county organization, which has
nc connection with the organization
that nominated Martin Dee for con
gress. AS l view it, the Deer Lodge
members are virtually mavericks and
nre at liberty to do as they see fit"
