Public Schools OF Lee District.

Mr.. Editor:-The fact that the
Public Schools of Lee District have
for several sessions, prior to the ses-
sion of 1902 '03, been compelled to
close earlier than those OF other dis
tricts, has been one OF great concern
Q the public school patrons, and in
many instances parents have en-
Moved tutors rather than have their
children's vacation extend over half
the wear. The school officers have
always sought remedy for these
short terms, but in view OF the fact
that the school population OF the dis
trict has always been 80 large, and
the funds so inadequate, their ef-
forts seemed to be in vain. The past
session the County Superintendent
and District Trustees Indeed found a
remedy by co nsolidation OF the
schools, and while the school term
extended over seven months, and
many of the schools were supplied
with elegant patent desks, we under
stand, that the coming session OF l9O'
-'O4 will witness even greater improve
mente; that we will have an elgh'
months session, better buildings &c
Surely Lee District is fast becoming
the banner district. Every patron
teacher and pupil of Lee Distrlc
should feel grateful to supt. Joynes
aud Messrs. Ma PIP, Boggs and Gard
ner, the trustees, for their good man
agement, and for the great interes
they have manifested in the school

HOMESTEADERS FIND IRON
1t is Reported to be q Good
Quality of Bessemer Ore.

The following is taken from the
Hancock Evening Journal OF Tues
day: ''Messrs. Dennis Donahue and
John Coughlan, Sr., returned yes
terday, after trip to the Donahue
homestead, situated in township 40,
range 33, northeast quarter of Sec
tion 32, 160 acres, and they report
discoveries of iron ore on their
homestead.
Mr.. Donahue, upon being inter
viewed by the reporter, makes the
following statement: 1--WE left here
Saturday morning on the Mineral
Range and. arrived at Covington at
IL 20, and proceeding northeast we
found the country very rich in good
agricultural land and timber, the
latter being found in immense
quantities, particularly hardwood,
some trees being over yard in
diameter. Proceeding on our jour
ney some three or four miles north
east by east, iron ore outcroppings
became very evident. We reached
our destination at 7:30 p. m. and
pitched our camp. We began work
at estimating the value OF the tim.
ber on the homestead early in the
morning and continued at 1t during
the day. Upon reaching the centra
part Of the homestead, we came
across an immense outcropping
which upon examination showed
every evidence Of good Bessemel
ore. I"
The homesteaders are very enthu
siastic over the find In that region
and not an inch of ground can b.
purchased in that part OF th'
country.
