UNIQUE CARPENTER SHOP.

working and Pattern Making.
There is a unique carpenter shop in
Boston, one where the workman paws
for the privilege of working instead
of being paid for his labor Though it
Is perfectly equipped Woodworking
shop, it is called a laboratory. fer in it
the students Of the Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology learn to plane
and saw and to become good. practical
carpenters and pattern makers And
what is very surprising is that after
comparatively few hours instruction
never more than week. all told. in the
whole course Of technical training
they turn out work of which the pro-
feSsional who spends his life ;& the
bench or lathe need not be ashamed.
The students start ut the very bot

TEN of the inStitute-and end bv ac- |
complishing things the average carpcn- /
ter could never do. Their first prob
lem" is to saw a straight line. and the
last is the making of a pattern for a
screw propeller, for example. and at
every step the amateur workman
learns the strictest economy of mate
rial. for a piece of wood spoiled is nev-
er replaced unless there was defect
in the wood itself.
The laylnan may ask. whats the
use of making a carpenter of tech
meal STUDENT Well, the reasons are
many. None of these young men ever
expects TO take up carpentry as life
occupation. but all Of them sooner or
later viii be called upon to supervise
men who are wOodworkers of some
KIND, and the best way to know lust
now thing should be done correctly
IS to be able 10 do it oneself. So. be-
sides the ordinary tools of the wood
workers trade. the students are made
familiar with all sorts Of lathes and
saws and spend hours using them.

Douglas. April 29-B! F. Graham, president of the Fl Tigre Mining com pany. stated today that he was in re- ceipt of a letter from Prof. Ottaker Hoffman. the consulting engineer or the company, who has been designing and drawing plans for the mill 10 De erected at the Fl Tigre mine, saying that everything was nearly ready for the orders for the necessary macnln- cry. Prof. Hoffman lives at Argen- tine. Kansas. and is one of the highest authorities on metallurgy in the coun' try. He has planned the Fl Tlgre mill after a thorough study of the ores taken from the property.
 Mir. Graham says he has already consulted machinery and foundry houses and finds that the machinery can be turned out much quicker than
 he expected, some of them guaran- teeing to fill the order in forty days after it's receipt.
 Charles Meyers is expected 10 arrive at the Fl Tigre mine in short time to accept the position of shelter superin- tendent. and will have charge of the erection of the mill, under the direc- ton of the consulting engineer. Mir Meyers comes from Abino, Durango. Mexico. and is a mining man of long experience. having handled successful ly several properties in Mexico.
 Returns have been received by NIT. Graham for the last car of ore shipped from Fl Tigre. The returns were sat isfactory. the net receipts from the car being a little over ten thousand dollars. The ore contained values as follows: Silver. g 12 ouncesh gold, 1-2 ounces; copper, Is per cent, lead, 13 per cent
 Recently there has been trouble in getting the ore packed from the mine 10 the railroad; a great many of the packers quit on account of the dry weather. Ore is being sacked at the mines at the rate of about 5000 per day. Mir Graham has sent to Chi huahua to get a new force of packers. and hopes soon to have the ore going out as fast as it is taken out and sacked.

For a S2SO Purse.

In regard 10 the challenge made by the Douglas team to bowl the El Paso team for a purse of S250, Manager Orr stated that it was practically certain that the match game for the money would be played. The only thing the Fl Paso boys objected to was paying full railroad fare. Now that they are coming to the convention anyhow, there will be no reason why they should refuse to play for the purse, and MT. Orr understands that the arrange ments are all made.

Dispatch in Wadsworth.

This is the last issue Of the DISPATCH
to be published in Wadsworth. With
largely increased plant we will enter
the field of journalism at Sparks and
our first issue in the new town will be
turned from the press as soon after the
first Of the year as possible, under the
name of the SPARKS DISPATCH.
The reason for our migration is OBJ
vious. and we will not dwell on the
subject except 10 say that our faith in
the future of this town is unabated, and
within year or two, we hope. business
will again justify the establishment Of
a newspaper here.
We thank our friends and patrons
for their loyal support in the past, and
If, at any future time, we may have an
opportunity to further the interests of
this town by informing the outside
world Of the mineral and agricultural
possibilities of the adjacent country,
We will gladly do SO.
We will ever cherish a friendly
feeling for Wadsworth, and have a
warm. sincere handclasp for all former
residents.
Wishing all a merry Christmas and
Happy New Year. we end by saying
to each and every one Of you: Good
bye, old friend; may success crown
your efforts.

DEATH OF A
NOBLE WOMAN.
After Many Weeks of SUI
fering, Miss Jennie Lundy
Passes to the Great Beyond.

Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, af-
ter many months Of patient suffering
with muscular rheumatism, Miss len
ME Lundy. one Of the most loved and
respected residents of Wadsworth, died
at the residence of her uncle, Hon,
T. G. Herman.
The mortal body, wrecked by the
ravaees of pain, was no longer tenant
able, and the kindly. sympathetic spirit
passed to the promised land to dwell
forever in our Fathers kingdom with
those unselfish spirits Of strong faith
and noble deeds who have gone before.
The countless acts Of sympathy and
kindness, and steadfast faith in the
wisdom and greatness Of her Creator
will weigh heavily in the balance and
her reward will indeed be great.
Miss Lundy was native of Penn
sylvania, but came to Wadsworth nearly
thirty years ago. Since that time she
has made her home with and managed
the household of her uncle, Hon. T.
G. Herman. She had been a mem
Der OF the Ladies Aid Society of the
Episcopal Church since its organiza
tion, and many times the success of
that society in its efforts for the good
of humanity, tn e community, the
church or the individual, was due part
4 ly or wholly to her untirlng efforts. No
' task in this direction was too arduous
for her to attempt, and she labored
quietly, neither expecting nor receiving
earthly reward She was confirmed
in the Episcopal faith during her
residence here and for quarter Of a
century was a teacher in the Sunday
school of that church.
She leaves to mourn her loss a
brother. Rev. H. Lundy Of Fruitvale,
CAL, an uncle, Hon. T. G. Herman
and a cousin, T. H. Bastian. both Of
Wadsworth. besides numerous relatives
throughout the East.
The funeral took place Monday af-
ternoon from the Episcopal church,
Rev. T. L. Bellam, who had been a
steadfast friend to the deceased, offici-
ating. The minister recalled the many
traits OF God exhibited In the life of
the departed and the truth Of his words
sank deep into the hearts Of his hear
ers.
Music was furnished by choir con-
sisting of Misses Myrtle York and Ad-
die Washeim and Mesdames George
A. Abbay, Jr, and David Washeim.
The pail bearers we're VIM. Pierson.
VIM. McCulloch, VIM Short, Chas.
Hoover, c. Wallstab and J. S. Raitt.
The funeral cortege was large and
was made up Of all the old-time friends
of the deceased in this vicinity, and
many who had come from other parts
to show their respect to the dead.
