IA Brief Statement Of Receipts
and Disbursements.

Believing that every tax payer,
has q right to know how the
school money is being expended
and that every resident should
be informed as to what is being
done in the educational depart
ment Of county government, the
following brief report is made,
through the courtesy Of the
various newspapers. 1t contains
only a few items Of especial
interest as q detailed report
would require too much space
and would not be carefully read.
The items cover the last school
year, from July 1st, 1904, to,
June Both, 1905, except the
superintendent which is taken
for the past calendar year, Jan.
LIST to December 31st. In this
connection, ] wish to~call atten-
tion to the late law governing
the enumeration for apportion-
ment. Hereafter, children can
not draw superintendent unless
they have attended school sixty
days or more during the preced-
ing school year. This will cause
considerable loss, to some dis
tricts, which can be overcome
only through the various action
OF school boards in organizing
new schools and insisting upon
full attendance. We must be un-
firing in our endeavors to place
a common school within the
reach OF every child.
Earnestly requestevery parent
and school officer in Ward county
to assist me in making the next
years work more successful than
the last. We should be united
and harmonious in our Efforts to
secure better schools for the
money, time and energy expend.

STATE SCHOOL OF MINES.
Fifteen Graduate from Black Hill:
Educational Institution.

Rapid City, S. D., June 1.-THE an
nual commencement exercises Of the
State School of Mines have just been
held in this city and the largest class
ever graduated has received its degrees
Heretofore not more than four or five
students have been graduated yearly
but this year the number runs I'D to
fifteen, ten OF whom received the degree
of bachelor of science and the remain
ing five that of mining engineers. The
increase in the number of graduates is
due unquestionably TO the increased
popularity of the school, which has
grown greatly in favor during the last
few years, as it's graduates and otu-
dents have made such enViablc records
in the mills and mines Of the Black
Hills
This school is admirably situated for
the training of it's students in matters
metallurgical and scientific, and ranks
among the very best schools of it's kind
In the United States. Although more
than half OF the graduates this year
are from South Dakota. yet five other
states in the union are represented and
there is one graduate whose home is in
South Africa.
The following students received the
degree OF 3. S.: Edwin 3. Coolidge.
Harry Curras, William II. Gaines, Her
bert Seiger, Earl Smith, John 3. Read,
Louis Penhoel. Frederick IT. Wetller-
aide, Peter Whytock and I.cssiGgton d.
O'Brien. Upon the following five the
degree of mining engineer was con-
ferred: c. c. Thompson, S. S. ArentZ,
Elmer E. West, A. z. Overpcck ard

Monument TO
GOV. MELLETTE
Watertown Old Soldiers Will
Erect Memorial to First
Governor.
"H" MONUMENT FIRST
"H" MONUMENT FIJI
Memorial to Men Who Fell in War
With Spain Erected in Watertown,
the First in the United
States.

Watertown, S. D., June 15.-The To-
cal post of the G. A. r. and it's aux
iliary, the w. r. c., have sold their
hall and grounds in this city, and with
the money realized from the sale will
erect a monument to the memory Of
Arthur G. Mellette, first governor Of
South Dakota. the governors home
having been in Watertown. Private
subscriptions will swell the monument
fund, and 1t is quite probable that the
city council will make an appropria-
ton.
The monument to the memory of the
states first governor will be erected on
the court house grounds, opposite the
one put up seven years ago to COM
memorate the deeds of Company H. the
home company, in the Spanish Amer
lean war. The Mellette monument will
stand on pedestal fifteen feet high,
and will be surmounted by a life-siZed
statue of the governor in Italian mar
BILE. Governor Mellette was veteran
of the civil war, and in consideration
of the veterans of the struggle taking
the initiative in erecting the memorial
the city has agreed to provide the To-
cal post with quarters in the city hall
as long as the organization shall have
use for the same.
First to Commemorate Recent War.
/ The monument erected to the mem
DRY of Company III, First South Da-
kota volunteers, was declared by Pres
ident Roosevelt, when he visited Wa
| tertown, to be the first one to COM
memorate the heroic service done by
the American volunteers in the war
with Spain, a glowing tribute to the
patriotic enthusiasm Of the citizens OF
South Dakota and Watertown. But il
was not surprising, in view of the fact
that the army records showed that in
proportion to her population this state

his sojourn here being for the purpose
of looking ever the company's new
works recently established in the Black
Hills. The Westinghouse people may
make this their headquarters for mica
production.
A few months ago the company pur-
chased a very rich mica mine about
Tour miles west of Custer, and paid Il
large sum for it. Because the duty is
SO high on mica between Canada and
the United States, the Westinghouse
people have decided to establish their
most extensive factories in the United
States. Beyond every doubt the Black
Hills district is very rich in deposits
of gold, copper, tin and mica. Reliable
men and concerns are finding this to
be fact
Heretofore companies attempting to
take mica from this district have re-
lied upon the markets for their profit
on the product, but the Westinghouse
people are able to use all the mica
that thousands of employees can pre-
pare. Since the LIST of last May this
company has been operating a mica
factory in this city, under the super

representative here. Mr.. Meyers be-
gan operations with fifteen boys as
trimmcrs. Now they occupy two large
store buildings and employ about 100
boys and girls. They have been using
mica from their new mine, and their
experts say that it is the finest and
easiest splitting mica they ever worked,
and it will likely give best results for
their uses Of it. They use the mica
chiefly for insulating purposes. One
expert splitter split book of the Black
Hills mica thinner than one-fourth OF
one-thousandth of one inch in thick
ness. This is as thin as mica can pos
sibly be split.
George Westinghouse will probably
arrive here before the 1st of July, ac-
companied by J. w. Longmore, the
company's purchasing agent. 1t is ex-
pected that they will Immediately pur-
chase site for a large factory build
ing and will let the building contract.
They expect to accommodate about
400 employees when the factory gets in
full swing. At present they have a
force of men at work in the mine, and
the authorities say there are mountains
of the finest mica uncovered
Superintendent Meyers says that if
they can secure the necessary labor
here to mine and prepare the mica the
Westinghouse people will probably use
most of their mica from the Black
Hills,
