 The property is developed by nun b'T of shafts. .nc dcepcs, of which has a,most reached the zoo foot level. and from which over 1000 feet in lat. crs1s have been run. The water in thcse workings al the present time rca~,,-s within W feet of the sur face. so that it is reasonable to ex p"~t tint pumping the water and the repairing of the openings will take s0nlc little time before large force of m-n can he employed in continuing the development work.
 Although no s,oping was done on the property during its former operation stiu there is n large amount of ore or the dump which was taken from tho sinking of the shaft, and the run ming of the irif,s. carrying good value' in gold as well ns high DOT cent ir lead.

NJ, carpenter to J. <. Hagler, of Fort Worth, Texas, and ]. A. Forbes. a well. snown mining man of this county. Mir. 'arpenter retaining an interest in the properties 10 which he has pinned hi. faith for several years past.
 As result of the sale, a force of men will be started at work on Monday gr1dt"g . site for q new L,ne mill which will be at once erected and de. yeloping water right for the install. lation of pumping machinery which lies in close proximity 10 the ground on which it is proposed the new plan, will be erected.
 The Independence group of mines. consisting of four claims, is situate about I2 miles south of this city in the immediate vicinity of the Jersey Lily mine. A good wagon road leads 10 the camp from Prescott, which is tho nearest accessible rnilroad station.
 The claims ae opened by one tunnel 200 feet in length. and by second tunnel st a lower depth than the other, which follows the vein a distance of 200 feet into the mountain. Both tun. nels are connected with n winze. an. other winze being sunk from the lower tunnel level to n depth of 70 feet The.c openings expose strong an,l continuous ore body throughout ,heir course, several thousands of tons oi ore. free milling and of good grade. be ing in sight and ready to be stoped.
 In the course of the development of tbe ground a large amount of high grade gold or wns shipped and mined which gave very goc'i returns.
 The new mill, which it Is proposed {, erect. will be of the Lane type, ant having q capacity of over 3o ton' daily. The capacity of the Mirl vii he increased from time to time as th, development of tbc mine warrants there being already enough orc in sigh 10 keep the mill now about to be in stalled running stendily for nore thai year.

GEoRG 6 WASHINGTON.

Today is the one hundre sixty-fourth
anniversary OF the birth OF George
Washington. and it is one hundred and
seventeen years since George Wash
ington was inaugurated the first Dresi-
dent OF the United States. In spite.of
the lapse of time American citizens
still revere him and are glad TO call
him Father Of his country A little
auecdote, which runs something like
this, will serve to show that he is still

certain prominent school; teachers and
pupils alike we're surprised 10 receive
summons 10 leave the class work and
appear In the chapel. Their surprise
grew to wonder when the master gave
an eloquent talk on the life and char
acter OF George Washington. AT the
close he said no one would be allowed
10 leave the room until the bust of
George Washington had been returned
to the pedestal in the hall, from which
had bsen taken and placed face TO
the wall in the corner. Pupils and
teachers alike looked from one to the
other, until the situation was relieved
by the janitor. who said sIt's up TO

The crowds OF visitors that travel 10

assured one. 1t is not an uncommon

Trees. Books ana Bread.

At the Baresford Farmers Institute
we met Prof. c. w. Kephart, a gradu-
ale of the state agricultural college.
Although one of the leading educators
OF The state, we were pleased 10 find
much OF the practical and industrial
left in bis work, and this was much Ia
evidence both on the inside and outside
OF the beautiful school building, oi
which Beresford may justly feel proud.
On the outside we found over fifty
beautiful elms and naples growing on
the roomy scho,l grounds, all set oul
by the pupils, snperintended by their
teacher. These trees were put out
two years ago, and the expertness OF
those planting them is evident from
the facts that all, or nearly all, OF them
are alive and show fine growth. We
are sorry to say that although II ese
grounds are sioping, beautiful ones,
and In the heart of the city, for twenty,
three years they were wholly wilhou,
trees. Prof Kephart contemplates
putting out few clamps of evergreens
another spring which will add much to
the character aud beauty OF the
gronnds--in winter especially.
We were pleased to find that the
strlc est tidiness IL insisted upon both
inside and outside the building. the
ontbuildings included. The professor
believes, and rightly, that all these
things educate, and educate rightly OF
wrongly, as the case may be-.
One more t ling pleased us and pleas
ed Us greatly, and that was that M
girl can graduate from the high schoo
until she makes and submits for In
spectlon, good specimens of breadmak
ing, knitting, etc. There are d.
facilities in the school for teachins
these very desirable things but from
the outside, in their own homes o
! otherwise, they must learn and mastev

TO the old coach in which Washington
rode. For many years the guard AT

hill at Mt. Vernon was darkey he
would proudly tell You that, Il was a

wshn TO him was given the honor OF
throwing into the Potomac river the
key to the tomb, thereby preventing
the vandals who might deface the
monument to Washington in their
craze for relics, from touching the
actual stone.
Historians declare that many OF the
stories told of Washtngtons youth are
the creation of some hero worshipper,
and yet the teachers OF today would be
both to strike out even the cherry tree
story, because OF the aid these anec-
dotes give in teaching the twentieth
century children that virtue has its

SECRECY AT PRIMARIES.

The attorney general OF South DA-
kota, Philo Hall, holds that law re-
quirin G statement Of party affiliation
at a caucus or primary violates the
secrecy OF the ballot, guaranteed by
the constitution.
There has never been any question OF
that sort raised in Minnesota, where,
since 1901, we have had primary law
requiring every one participating to
declare his party. In Minnesota the
primary is not considered an election,
but legalized party caucus which
nominates direct instead of selecting
delegates, 1t is a legal recognition Of
the party system, and If party lines
are not to be drawn in the primary,
why hold any primary at all? II a
primary is an election. why hold two
elections?
It is true that the Minnesota law
contemplates statement OF the voters
intentions. If challenged at the pri-
mary, he must swear that he gene rail-
ly supported the caqdidates Of the
party at the last election, and intends
TO ut the next election. That pulls
him on record, for the primary, as a
republican or democrat, but Ii II only a
statement OF Intentions and does not
bind him to any certain line OF action
when he enters the booth at the gem
eral election. His intentions may
suffer an honest change between the
primary and the electien, and in any
event be cannot be considered as
bound to vote a straight ticket The
declaration does away with secrecy at
| the primaries, but ia no way violates
the secrecy OF the ballot.
Iowas proposed law, known as the
Crosslsy bill, includes registration OF
party utilization At the general cleo.
tion. That Is barking back 10 the
days before the Australian ballot
guaranteed The voter privacy in his
choice, and ii would never be tolerated
in Minnesota. In fact, the whole ter
dency Is to greater freedom In such
matters. Minneapolis Journal
