Exercises al DeLanar.

The commencement exercises at the
DeLamar school took place last Friday
evening. After recitation of welcome
and drill by the primary classes, the
rest of the school gave a very enter
tanning piece of comic operetta The
scene was school picnic, and was
throughout very animated. The girls
had their lunch baskets and the boys
were dressed as cadets. Two scholars,
supposed to have played "hookie" and
disguised as an old man and an old
woman, begging pennies from "the
merry company acted as hero and
heroine. Three diminutives kept things
lively, dressed in full uniform, tapping
The stage with their batons and saying
"We know our business, we do" They
we're too comical for anything. The
solo, duet, trio and chorus singing we're
all that could be desired Blue coats
and overalls and white tape made an
excellent cadet uniform, and the offic-
er in charge looked as though he had
just stepped out of Annapolis. st.
Georges Guild afterwards served re-
freshments, the evenings proceedings
being followed by a dance.

1t does not need second sight TO see
that Silver City aud the districts con
tiguous are Oh the eve Of season OF
prosperity unequaled in the history Of
mining in this part of the state. The
reports of the finding Of new ore bodies
and rich strikes are heard of every day
and are becoming so common that they
attract only passing notice by the citi-
zens Of the district.
Locations in the district that were
turned down by experts Is or 20 years
ago, are today being exploited, and The
results are so hattering that new cor
porations have been organized, aud
some of these claims bid fair to become
producers 50 vast that they will be de-
pended on in the grand total Of the
production Of Idaho.
Connors 4 Belcher have located two
claims on the south and east Of the
Gold Nugget, of the Venus group, they
having traced the great vein owned by
Sullivan & Nobl across the mountain.
through the Gold Nugget ground and
on to their locations. Surface pros
poets on these new claims indicate
large ore bodies which may ere long be
added to the production of this camp.
The Rich Gulch Mining Co., on Flor
ida mountain, are building new build
ings and getting things in shape to do
considerable development work, while
nearly ever claim owner in the district
is working or making arrangements to
do many times the amount of work re-
qoired by law to hold their claims.

Universal mining activity is manifest
in mining circles around Silver City
and vicinity, more mining properties
being worked and more men EMPLOYED
than al any time since the reactionary
period in the early '7Os. A better
knowledge Of the vast deposits Of the
precious metals contained in our
mountains has attracted conservative
mining men to invest their capital. re-
sultlng in period of unparalleled sue
cess. The industry as at present CON
Quoted is characterized by competent
managers taking charge of legitimate

cordance with the most approved econ

exercises of Silver City public schools
Friday, June 8, 1901
In the year 1903 the United States
comprised all the land east of the Mis-
sissippi river. At this time France
owned the land west of the Mississippi
besides Canada, and was engaged in
the ''Seven Years War"
Spain owned Florida, which she ced
ed to Great Britain in l763; France
ceded Canada to England and secretly
gave up her possessions west of the
Mississippi, now known as Louisiana,
to Spain, thus leaving England on the
north and south, and Spain ON the
west. In 1890 Spain gave back to
France what she had received in 1868.
After our second war with Great
Britain, commonly known as the "War
of 1872" England claimed all the west
ern country, so it was decided that they
should hold it jointly for 10 years, at
the end of which time England seemed
to have entire possession. 1t was de-
cided to continue the joint occupation
until notice of its termination should
be given by one nation or the other.
The Hudson Bay Company put every
possible obstacle in the way of immi-
grafton, and managed to create the inn
preston in the United States that the
Rockies could not be crossed by wag
ons and that the country on the other
side was barren wilderness.
The territory along the Pacific ocean
was claimed by England and Mexico.
1t was the intention of the United
States to acquire this territory, since
the Pacific ocean would be of great i'm
portauce in trade with Asiatic coun-
tiles, besides the laud in California
was very valuable and gold and silver
plentiful. Oregon was rich in timber
and the coast had many fine harbors,

EXERCISES OF SILVER CITY
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
One Young Lady and Three
Young Men Receive Diplomas
Valedictory Address.

Friday, June 9th, the Silver City
schools closed for the summer vacation
with one of the most successful enter
tainments ever given by the schools.
The ease and naturalness with which
the pupils delivered their various sell
ections spoke highly, not only for their
own ability and eagerness to make
their closing exercises successful, but
also for the pains and carefulness of
their teachers in training them for
their various pieces.
One selection was flag drill by ten
boys, at the close of which a most in
spring patriotic song entitled Free
dom's Banner was sung by quintet
consisting of Mr.. Bradfield, bass, Mr.
Jukes, tenor, Miss Lauphlin, alto, Miss
Carrie Hastings, soprano, and Miss
keenan,, who sang the obligato solo.
Another selection which won uni
versal applause was a reading entitled
"On the Other Train,' by Carrie Hast
ings, whose sweet and flexible voice

thos of that beautiful selection.
A maypole drill by twelve girls was
another exercise which won highest
praise. Miss Laughlin, who trained
the little girls, deserves all the hearty
praises and congratulations which she
received for the faultless precision at
tanned in this drill
These exercises mentioned we're fit
tingly intersperced with songs, dia-
logues and recitations.
Violet Glover was chosen by the
graduating class to give the valedictory
address. Her subject, Lewis and
Clark's Expedition appears in this
issue. Following this was the presen-
tation of diplomas by Superintent
Myrtle Hastings, who made most ex-
cellent address, and one we'll calculat-
ed to inspire the young to make higher
resolves for educational attainments.
Those who received diplomas were:
Ernest Rowett, aged l5; Violet Glover
aged Is; Arthur Heer, aged 13; and
Russell Adams, aged ID.
