Miss Blanche Gueriniere, Editress.
Mr.. Laurant lilly. Manager.
Here we are with foot ball victory
from our rival, New IBERIA team. The
game was very interesting throughout.
but rather more during the first half of
the game. there being no score made by
either side. In the second half lberia's
defeat was proved by the two touch
downs made by our boys. At the end Of
the game the score was 10 to o. The
long run of Francis DeBlanc aud Ralph
DeBlanc, the kicking of Raph BeDlanc,
the hard bucking of Francis Bienvenu,
Laurent Tillv and CASTOR Gueriniere,
the tackling of Conrad Daspit and the
head work Of Pat Fleming were espe-
cially commendable. Iberia left end did
excellent work.
As this month is nearing to end, we
will soon be engaged in examinations,
which mean pretty hard time for the
pupils. Every month this work must be
gone through. and each pupils monthly
record is given TO him, so that he can
readily see the progress he has made in
that time.
The girls composing the Basket Ball
team are now practicing regular IL play
against the Iberia team Oh next Satur-
day.

or change officers whenever those
warming official cushions do not
come up to the standard of excell-
ence in the duties they are sworn
to protect and carry out.
The people of Louisiana are 60
ing to have primaries for the
choice of every officer from con-
stable to governor. Every one
has a right to be a candidate. and
to hold the Office, too provided he
can get enough votes. The sys-
TEN of bossism either in big or
small degree must cease to be a
prime factor in public affairs. The
people must do the ruling and
those who hold the offices must be
their servants instead of their mas
tiers and lords who think that pub
lie trust is private snap-a pass
port TO graft and humbuggery.
This is intended to be a free
government, and we want it to he
so. in fact and not fancy. When
the people are in touch with the
public officials, its all up with the
grafters and tax eaters. They
may 60 wrong sometime but they
can always get back on the right
track, and they do it.

Last Saturday morning MIR. Geo.
Eastin showed us the following,
from the published minutes of the
School Board of Feb. 9, 1904 which
was published in the Valley-of-the-
Teche:
"The committee appointed at the last
meeting of the Board, to examine the
books and amount of the shortage of ex-
Superintendent A. S. Wood. reports that
the defalcations amounts to $1,000.
And for this proof he was hand
ed check of ten dollars which he
transferred to the High School.
The other two offers, one for a
published financial statement of
the School Board and one for the
special taxes statement are yet un-
claimed.

Calumet & Arizona mine was 25,535,- 3o7 pounds in 1903. No other copper
 mine has ever been able to secure such an output in its first years pro- duction. The mine will make between
 30.000.000 and 35,00O,000 pounds of fine copper this year. but cannot great ly increase its output until second shaft pc. mits the hoisting of more ore. The fact that a 4-year-old mine can make more than 25, eco 900 pounds Of copper in one year, from a single shalt, comes as something of a reve- lation to many persons considering themselves good juoges of mines, and the figures alone are a stronger tri- bute to the richness of the mine and the ability of its management than could be written by tearing half the adjectives out of the dictionary.

 Considerable work is under way in the Canadian district between Sault Ste Marie and Sudbury. The nickel iferous copper ores of Ontario seem confined, so far as development has proven, to the Sudbury district. but in the intervening stretch of some 25o miles between Sudbury and the out let of Lake Superior, there are numer- ous outcrops of copper ere, nearly all of this being chalcopyrite, without the surface and sub-surface carbonate and oxi6e ores that are found in most cop per districts. The territory in ques- tion is a very extensive one. and the operations might seem insignificant to a person trayersing the length of lne district, but in the aggregate no small amount of development is under way, as at least a half dozen properties are sufficiently opened to warrant an unprejudiced judge calling them prom ising. None of the new mines have yet reached the productive point, and the question of smelting facilities Is one that is beginning to trouble the more advanced mines. While it will be possible to put in small smelters at the mines. these cannot effect the of 220, 0,0000,000 pounds for 1903 is redi- economical reduction that could be secured at a large central reduction plant, and none of the developing com panies have sufficient funds to build and equip large and thoroughly mod ern smelters. of say 1000 tons daily capacity.

Houghton, Mich, April 9.-(Special to the Review )-The talk about large copper exports and a strong market
 Tor metal is based upon something
 more tangible than boom utterances
 by brokers. who are naturally much displeased at the lethargy of the cop
 per share market. Whether we are or
 not to have a strong market for
 shares is a question between the in-
 vesting public and the brokers, but it
 is certain that the market for the
 metal is strong, with evidences of be- corning stronger. The present strength
 Is not due to manipulation or to the concealment of stocks, but to the slow
 and certain operations of the law of
 supply and demand, that resistless
 force that kings, parliaments and even
 combines must bow to in the end. The effects of the corner in the metal made
 by the Amalgamated Copper company are now practically over. The corner
 was broken and the surplus metal dumped on the market nearly two and half years ago, and the big metal surplus then let loose has been ab- sorbed. The low prices made through necessity. to market that surplus has disappeared-gone as completely as last winters snow has gone in regions favored with a milder climate than Lake Superior, where some two feet of last winters fall remain on the ground.
 Despite the prominence given such
 important new producers as the Greene Calumet & Arizona and others, and the increased output of the lake district,

 EXCELLENT Headway in Drifts
ii IS ESTIMATED THAT IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS SHAFTS
 WILL BE CONNECTED.
Drift From No. 3 Shaft Is in Nearly 300 Feet, While One Being Run From No 2 Shaft Has Been Cut a Dis tance of Over 14oo Feet-About 600 Feet More Will See Connection Made

Without meeting with unforeseen accidents that will result in delaying
 the work to any great extent, the Lake Superior and Pittsburg compa- ny will connect the drifts that will greatly facilitate the operations of both Nos. and shafts, within about two months. At present the drifts dreG feet apart, and it is estimated that sixty days of favorable progress will complete the work of cutting through the intervening ground. A distance of about five hundred feet has been cut from No. shaft from the eOV-ieot level, while more than four teen hundred feet of territory has feen gone through with the drift from shaft No. 2. which was started at the 1,ovO-loot level. The distance between Ire two shafts is approximately 2500 feet.
 vith the completion of work in the two drifts, and connection having been successfully made, the company SAAA Abs WI lAhCiy h6SlC tiinS in commencing other extensive work tnat will place the mine a position to proauce a large production of copper St the earliest possible period.
