THE SHARP COUNTY INSTITUTE.
A Large Attendance oil Teachers anu
Much Interest Manifested in
The Work.

In response to the call OF the
County Examiners, the teachers
of the Northern and Southern
Districts met in a joint Institute
at Evening Shade, Monday,
June 5. The secretary enrolled
The names of sixty wide-awake
teachers. The Institute was
opened by Prof. W. H. Watkins
in a model opening exercise,
which occasioned much favora-
BILE comment among the teachers
In the opening exercise Prof. E.
f. Hulen favored the Institute
with an excellent recitation.
The teachers are thoroughly
aroused to the opportunities OF
fefed by this occasion, and We
feel safe in saying that it would
be hard to find a more noble OF
more willing band of workers
within the boundaries OF the
state.
The work done up to this time,
Thursday, has been ample
proof to every right.thinking
teacher that Profs. Watkins and
Manning deserve the greatest
praise for the work of bringing
! into joint session the teachers OF
both districts of the county. To-
gether they have done a work
and awakened a measure of en-
thusiasm which, divided, they
could not have been able to ac-
complish. "In unity there is
strength; in counsel safety"
The work outlined by the State
Superintendent of Public In
struction has been closely ad-
hered to, but many other mat.
ters, looking to the uplifting OF
the cause Of education, have
been discussed. We repeat that
it would be difficult to flnd a
more enthusiastic body of teach
ers, and under the leadership Of
the county examiners, they are
doing a work that we believe has
never been done before in the
county.
Prof. c. C. Armstrong has ia.
vored US from time to time with
talks upon the subject of vocal
music, and has succeeded in
arousing quite an interest in
that subject.
We feel greatly honored by the
many .courtesies shown US and
the unsurpassed hospitality Of
the people of Evening Shade.

a third term. In the campaign

STRENGTH OF THE RAILWAY LOBBY

"In the Nebraska legislature could win out against M
railroads." said W. f. Thummel at the insurance earring in Nv
York Then Mr. Thunne explained that the nsuac lobby Wa
trying to defeat the odious bill which has last bn
the Indignation Of Nebraska taxpayers Mr. hmue
planned his nquors that the bill provided for law that
lower the taxation Of railway property while increasing e taxation
all other property. The people Of Nebraska told this plain
truth by honest and patriotic fellow citizens when h. bin
duced into the legislature at the dctaon OF the railways but I
IDENTIFY the people skepcal for they reelected an admn
hon pldged not to revoke the law.
Honest told this plain truth two years ago and ID
being told by insurance lobbyists But the people did not need
wait until hieves fell out" to believe the truth The operation
the law has at length convinced them that the bill INTRODUCED
as the result of railway conspiracy More than that was
act of revenge 1t will be recalled that prior the passage the
bill there had been much agitation to just taxation Of railway
property and various laws suggested. This agen
railway attorneys that they decided only to defeat all good e
bills but to fo upon the people law that would add eNf
onatc taxation to extortionate railway tariffs hcy snce1
their purpose and they o back in their leather chairs -
railway attorneys shake with laughter while they recount
clever trick they played upon the people
To show that the bill operates in such manner ' to lowe"
alton railway property and to raise on all other property VI
only necessary to call attention to the fact that the r@y asses
raised quite 81 900, 900 this year while all other PRO-
erty raised $o,Ooo00o 1t be supposed thai under n
circumstances the increase Of about $00O0o0o might make POI
sble to fix lower levy, which, however, might decrease railway
alton while increasing the taxation Of all other property
This be illustrated by figures. Suppose for eSanP' W
all railway property in tie valued at $0o0Wo
all other property at $000o0oo0 and that the ley were H m
lhen railway properly would pay Noo,ooo ana an ' PI
$350,000. Now suppose that the valuation OF railway proper
raised $lo00000 and all other property %9o0oo a
the levy lowered by slight fraction TO four and on

all other property would pay $350055 that while % on '

TROY MANHATTAN COMPANY
MOLYBDENUM ENTERPRISE

c. Otto Schwabe who has designed
and will install molybdenum plant at
Troy for the Experimentation Copper
company, recently purchased from the
Phoenix Light & Fuel company 125
horse power engine and fifty horse
power generator for the electric plant,
the reduction of the ore being partly
an electric process. AS a fifty horse
power generator is insufficient for Mr..
Schawbe's process he has placed an
order with the Westinghouse General
Electrical company for an additional
sixty horse power generator. An order
has also been placed with Kuntz Bros.
for special mechanical devices for use
with some electrodes of extraordinary
size. The Phoenix Republican states
that Mr.. Schwabe, after careful eX-
animation of the mine at Troy carrying
the wulfenite deposit, has estimated
that there are $500 tons of ore in sight
which will furnish 108 tons of concen-
trates containing Is per cent to q per
cent molybdenum oxide, having a mar
ket value of $148, 500. Mr.. Schwabe
estimates the cost of reduction at thirty
five cents per pound or a total of SIS,
900, leaving net profit of $ll9,6 800.
The erection of the plant and extra ex-
penses will not exceed $1,000 and that
sum deducted from the above figures,
together with the original cost of pro,
ducing the 5400 tons of ore, will still
leave handsome profit. Concerning
the ore supply Mr.. Schwabe has based
his figures only on the quantity he has
satisfied himself is actually at hand ano
the formation and indications are thai
there will be at least four times as much
of it found as development proceeds
while the possibilities beyond that arr
yet speculative, of course.

Two fatal accidents occurred at the
Metcalf section Saturday last. Domin-
go Orto drilled into missed hole in
the Standard and was so seriously in
jured that he died that night His part

timberman named McBarris walked
into the Shannon drift just as shot
was fired and was almost instantly
killed.
John Miller, miner employed in the
Coronado mine, was seriously injured
while at work one day last week and
brought to the hospital at Clifton. AS
a result of his injury it became neces-
sary to amputate the right limb below
the knee. DR.. Horn performed the
operation Sunday morning and the
patient is getting along as well as
could be expected. Miller is an old
timer in the district and has many
friends who sympathize with him in
his misfortune.
