BRIGHT
kenosha Men Hope to Reap Rich
Harvest From Gold Mine
in Grass Valley
MORE PROPERTY NOW NEEDED

Fl. Reber and George w. Root, the
two officials Of the Kenosha Gold Min
ing company wis lave been in Grass
Valley, Cal, for the past two years,
returned to Kenosha Monday after
noon, and today the stockholders of
the company are receiving authentic
reports Of the progress Of the work at
the mines.
The officials brought with them
many samples of remarkably rich ore
taken from the claims Of the Kenosha
company, and it is claimed that the
success Of the venture is now practi-
cally assured. Mr.. Root, who is the
manager of the company, when seen
today said: s"There is no doubt but
that we have a mine, and it will be on
a dividend paying basis within an
other year. At the present time we
are taking out gold enough to pay the
costs of developing. The government
tests show that this ore will go $1O6 to
the ton on ian average, and some of
the ore brought back with us tests as
high as $40 to the ton. The Kenosha
company now has two claims Of
twenty acres each, and we have com
pleted one .shaft1which extends into
both claims. We have already struck
|1ich deposits of gold.
Mr.. Reber and myself have re-
turned toa'urge the stockholders to
take immediate steps to secure other
claims surrounding the property now
owned by the company. These claims,
consisting Of 200 acres of land, can be
bought for about $4,000. There is
no doubt but that in few years these
claims would yield millions Of dollars
IN dividends to the stockholders.
The stock in the mine is held en-
tirely by Kenosha men and a number
Of prominent business. men are inter
este(i in the project.
It IS probable that a meeting of the
directors and stockholders Of the com
pany will be held this week, at which
4 formal report Of the representatives
will be presented.

ISSUES "A WARNING
Wisconsin University Station Tells of
Deadly Work Of Corn shreddersT

Wisconsin University Station Tells of
Deadly Work of Corn ShreddersS
The danger of serious accidents
from corn huskers and shredders and
the importance Of the law passed by
the last legislature requiring that all
shredders be equipped with a safety
device, are striking1y shown by the
statistics just compiled by Professor
George N. Knapp Of the depa rtment
of Farm Engineering of the Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin. While it is
matter of common knowledge to every
one who is familiar with farm machin-
cry that the liability of accidents has
been greater to men operating corn
shredders than to those in the charge
of any kind of farm machinery,
hitherto no statistics have been col
1ected to show the comparative
danger. In response to a circular
letter sent to one thousand physicians
in the So counties of Wisconsin in.
which corn is grown, 378 replies were
received by Professor Knapp. The
reports show n accidents by shred
ders in 1904 and 4l4 Academic by shred
ders in former years, against 235 ac-
cidents by all other kinds Of farm
machinery in 1904, and 967 in former
years.
The statistics complied from the
reports of the physicians show that
In 81 We r. 4 ~
shredders, while ten persons lost
arms in all other farm ma chinery ac-
cidents. While 10 persons lost hands
in shredders, only suffered similar
loss by other machines. Two deaths
resulted from shredder accidents and
two from all other machinery. It is
thus apparent that the shredder &C
cidents are in the majority serious,
since % per cent were fatal; SO per
cent resulted in loss of arms or hands;
and % per cent in loss Of fingers.
AS under the term "a11 other kinds
of farm machinery" has been IN
GUIDED grain thrashers, traction
engines, gasoline engines, wood saws,
hay presses, grain and corn harvest
ers, corn shelters, feed mills, wind
mills, mowers and hay tedders, plant
ers, plows, harrows, and rollers, it is
apparent that the shredder is re-
sponsible for injuries out Of all pro-
portion to the number of machines in
use. The unavoidable inference from
this is that shredders are more danger
Gus than other machines and that
ordinary care in operating shredders
is not adequate to prevent injury.
The State Legislature passed law
at the last session which provides
that all shredders shall be equipped
with safety device to prevent acct
dent in the swapping rolls. In the
machines put on the market this year
the manufacturers are apparently
making an honest attempt to comply
with this law, but the machines in the
field which occasioned II accidents
in 1904 are no doubt still in use and
are as likely to catch victims this
year as last. Since .shredders and
huskers will continue to be used, the
only safe guard is to keep away from
both the husking and swapping rolls,
aud if the rolls need attention to use
a stick or club and not the hands or
fingers in attempting to remove the
difficulty.

HAD A FIRE SCARE
Small Blaze Breaks out Among ia
Palnaetier Whitcomb Presents

Small Blaze Breaks out Among the
Palnetier- Whitconb Presents y
The fire department was called out
just after 5 o'clock Tuesday evening,
on account Of a small blaze at the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry B. Robin
son on Prairie avenue. A number of
the members Of the household had
been engaged in unpacking presents
sent to Miss Annis Pa1metier, who
was welded to Edwin r. Whitcomb
today and in some manner a match
was thrown into pile of excelsior, in
a second there was a big blaze and
the flames were carried to the foot
board Of the house. However, quick
work managed to extinguish the
flames without the assistance of the
department.
During the excitement Miss Paine
tier tainted and it was at first reported
that she had been seriously injured,
but this rumor was found to be with
out foundation. :

GOES TO MANIToWOC
Floating Poolroom Unable to Find
Docks and Sails Away Again

The steamer City Of Traverse,
which came into the Kenosha harbor
Tuesday morning with the under
standing that the boat was to be tied
up here for the winter, sailed away
again late Tuesday afternoon after
Captain Jones had taken out clearance
papers for Manitowoc. It is under
stood that the captain of the gam
bling boat was not able to make any
arrangements for dockage in Keno
sha harbor.
Before leaving Kenosha he stated
that he would put IN at both Racine
and Milwaukee and make an effort to
find place to lay up in one of these
harbors. If no place is found he will
proceed to Manitowoc where the
Traverse was formerly owned.

TEACHERS AT SILVER LAKE
First Meeting OF the County Teachers
for the Year is Held Saturday

First Meeting OF the County Teachers
for the Year is Held Saturday
The first meeting of the western
division of the Kenosha County
Teachers association was held at
Silver Lake Saturday, Oct. Z. A
large number of teachers we're there
and what is even more unusual, every
one who was to appear on the pro-
gram was present. This meeting was
Of especial interest as being the first
conducted by Mr.. Kerwin since he
assumed the duties of the superin-
tendency.
The teachers were called to order
by Miss Margaret Bohrn, president of
the association, and after the response
to the roll call with an educational
maxim, a secretary pro tempore was
elected.
The first number on the program
was class exercise in Middle Form
Reading, conducted by Henry L.
Blum of Silver Lake. Next followed
a paper by Miss Eda Button, of Will
mot, on Character of Oral Work in
Language Suitable for the First Two
Years of School Life z Miss Button
presented d very useful outline of
the work to be done, and explained
the methods that she has been using
at the Wi1mot school SO successfully
the past terms.
Miss Stella Karcher, Of the Trevor
school, then read a paper on Ellis
tory, or the Territorial Growth Of the
United States" Miss Karcher showed
the necessity and advantage Of teach
ing the big subjects Of history as con-
nected units and demonstrated how it
could be done.
Anton Minsart,. principal of the
Wilmot High school, gave an instruc-
tive talk on Comparison Of the Leg
is1ative Branch of the State with
That of the United States.'' In his
talk he urged the desirability of
teaching current events in connection
with Civil Government, thus making
the subject of live interest to the
pupil.
The subject of digestion, Absorp-
ton and Assimilation of Food" was
presented by Principal r. L. Cundy,
of the Salem school. Mr.. Cundy
showed the teachers how an exhaust
i've outline of the subject could be
prepared and used in the schools.
Mr.. Cundy's paper came at an oppor-
tune time to be fully appreciated, as
the adjournment for dinner was taken
during his address.
The program was closed by talk
on Arithmetic, by Superintendent
J. J. Kerwin After giving some of
the theoretical principles of the
teaching and solving of problems in
arithmetic, Mr.. Kerwin tested the
ability of the teachers in applying the
same by giving them some practical
problems to solve.
Messrs. Minsart, Blum and Miss
Button were elected as a committee
to arrange for the program of meet
ing to be held at Wilmot one month
from the above date.
The following teachers were pres
ent: Mable Rumford, Bee Duffy, Eda
Button, Rose Button, Eta Boulder,
Sadie Boulder, Kathryn Nett, Grace
