GIRLS INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL

While knocking about the country
we visited the Girls Industrial
School at Beloit. When the legis
lature made the original appropria
ton for this institution the members
builded better than they knew. 1t
is possibly not the most useful in.
stituuon in the state but If there are
any others that are doias a nobler
work we don't knt = where they are
located. There are 49,. sent about
200 inmate anG .e doubt il a
school can be f"lnd anywhere that
will show better discipline with less
punishment. There are no walls
about the institution. The restrain-
ing force seems to be the respect and
genuine affection of the girls for the
! principal, Miss Julia Perry. Cor
, poral punishment indeed has been
entirely abolished. There are no
walls as we have said, and yet there
seems to be no disposition ON the
part of the inmates to run away.
Most of them have faund there the
tirst real home they ever knew and
came TO LOOK on the time of the ex
piration of the sentence with regret
instead of JOY. They would stay
longM.if they could. They are given
an education that fits them to enter
any of the high schools of the state.
In addition they are trained in
domestic science and fitted for max
ing first class housekeepers. They
learn 10 bake and cook and make
their garments. They are also
trained in gardening, caring for
flowers and the practical business OF
raising vegetables. The day we
were in Beloit chorus made up of
girls from the Industrial school fur
aished the music. They were well
dressed and what was better they
bad good faces. We haYe always
had the theory that there is lot
more of good ahan bad in people and
that when boys and girls go wrong
it is rather the result of environ.
ment and bad trainging than be-
cause the Individuals had hell In
them by nature. We believe that
if any one had seen this lot of girls
without knowing where they came
from he would have pronounced
them an exceptionally well behaved
and nice looking lot of young ladies.
We asked q question which will
naturally be asked by the reader
and that is, ''What per cent of ;hese
girls stay good after they get out of
the institution Well, the evidence
shows that more than 90 per cent
of them lead honest, virtuous lives,
while if 1t had not been for this in
stitution probably more than 90 per
cent of them would have gone per-
manently to the bad. That is one
institution that is certainly worth a
lot more than IL ever cost

ROUND MOUNTAIN ANTELOPE

1t seems as If the quantity of speci-
men ore from Round Mountain is ex-
ceeding all expectations. In the Ante
lope this week a streak from 6 to s
inches wide was on the So
foot level. The stuff is a kin of talcy
decomposed ~porphyry and shows no
gold until mortared when it is
found to be literally alive with flakes
of coarse gold. Twenty sacks of lnls
ore has been extracted and the COM
pany is confronted by the impossible
task of fixing a value on 1t. Owing
to the fact that the gold is so coarse
and the values occur so irregularly 1t is
not possible to sample 1t with any de-
gree of success. One piece will go into
the hundred thousands while another
may run only a few hundreds. and 1t
all looks alike. To solve the problem
the company has arranged to bring five
tons of it to Goldield where 1t will be
run through the ~arrastra of Mark
Smith. This will reduce the mass to
such an extent that the concentrate
will be practically pure gold.

COPPER MAGNATES SECURING
PROPERTIESAT JACKSON MT.

The Humboldt copper country is at
tracing more attention with ZACH day.
Quite a little work is going on in the
vicinity of Jackson mountain and a
number of prospects are already in the
transitory stage from prospecthood to
minehood. L. S. Chafey, the well
known pioneer of the Transvaal district
has just returned from a visit to the
Jackson Creek region with l.. r. Scott.
This section is about so miles north
west of winnemucca and Chafey re-
ports that the showing in proportion to
the amount of development is astonish-
ingly good. On the Nelson group
which Captain Hassel recently bonded
for $780, 600 there are three tunnel ag-
gregating 1000 feet of work that are
all in ore. A compound sample taken
across 60 feet OF the vein returned
values of 16 per cent p p There are
about 5000 tons of ore on the dump
n at least 5000 tons more blocked out
in the mine. The vein outcrops and
can be traced for 10 miles and carries

a good per cent of copper wherever
opened up. The 10y ranch is close at
hand and as there is plenty of wood and
water the place is almost ideal. Most
OF the copper magnates have representa-
tives on the ground and securing all
property that is offered.
Mr.. Chafey reports that his party also
visited the new camp of Dyke 2s miles
distant. The camp he reports is very
promising with lots of ground still
open for location. This is a gold camp
and ore is already being sacked on three
properties. The mineralized zone Is
spread over 20 miles. Here and at
Jackson mountain a great many Gold
field men are getting in well with the
usual Goldfeld enterprise.
A townsite is admirably laid out and
a big ranch which neighbors the camp
furnishes fresh vegetables and other
products. Chafey and Scott located Is
claims in the district from which they
have received a number of encouraging
assays.

Few things in the history OF Gold
field nave elected the interest which
attaches to the coming Gans-Nelson
prize fight. In the great wave of adj
miration for the fistic wonders which is
sweeping over the camp mines and
mining matters are of but secondary
import. Joe Cans, the black fighter, has
taken up his headquarters at the Mer-
chants hotel in Columbia and his eff
forts to make the agreed weight are so
conscientious that the returning grave
yard" shifts are each morning RECALLED
by the sight of a black streak %travers-
ing the roads or making across the
country with a speed which shames
that of the frightened jack rabbit
When later in the day he punches the
bag in the cool of the hotel veranda,
he is invariably surrounded by an ad-
miring crowd of idlers and the usual
compliment of small boys.
Battling Nelson, who is just as
sure of success as is his opponent, is
working steadily on the roads and
both men are training faithfully enough
to insure a mill satisfactory to all par
ties. Tn town is now rapidly filling
up with newspaper men and photog-
raphers are becoming as common as
gold mines. All day long the "chug,
chug," of the many motor cars is
heard bearing the new arrivals to a
hurried inspection of the mines. 1t
seems the favorite pastime of every
press representative to carry Nelson
n Cans mot at the same time) to
the Mohawk and there photograph the
fighters in the midst of the hustle and
hustle incidental to extracting ten
thousand dollars worth of gold-bearina
rock, which each day comes forth. TIL
plans for the arena are now complete
and work upon the structure will begin
next week. Everything at present

PALMETTO AND DEATH
VALLEY MINING co.

A very satisfactory report a been
received at the company's Office from
the superintendent of the Palmetto and
Death Valley Mining company.
The mill which was recently put into
operation is running on the ore of the
company and ~lessees day and night. A
Acton run lately netted clear of all ex-
penses s53 per ton. On several of the
leases high grade rock is being sacked.
There are numerous fine lodges travers-
ing the ground which have been exposed
by about 1900 feet of work.
A recent examination of the property
made by Mining Engineer Chas. d.
Kaeding, formerly superintendent of
the Oriental Consolidated Mine of Korea
was so entirely satisfactory as to in
dictate the property has passed beyond
it's prospect days. Apparently the Pal
metto and Death Valley Mining COM
pany will soon become one of the great
producers of the state.

A. A. CODD HAS GOOD
PROPERTY AT RAMSEY

When the first rush to Ramsey was
on A. A. Codd, deputy district recorder,
with Samuel Bennett and some asso-
ciates sent out a prospecting party to
the new district and II claims were
located. The locators fearing that any
discoveries on the ground made known
would result in the swinging of some
adjoining claims under prior locations
to include their ground settled down on
the scene to await developments. Three
months passed and then when the rich
Clark strike was made 2h miles to the
southwest the crowd rushed in that
direction leaving the Codd n Bennett
prospectors in undisputed possession of
the ground. Mr.. Codd last week paid
his initial visit to the claims and re-
turned to town very enthusiastic over
the showing on the ground. A blind
ledge has been opened by crosscut

GoLDFIELD ORC

Values are steadily increasing in the
Goldfeld Orc and there has been a
strong demand for the stock during the
past week. On the 92 foot level a
strong 10-foot ledge is being explored
which returns assays of SIG. This fact

low-priced stock in the immediate vi
cinity of Columbia and the

from a number of people. The prospects
are that this property will be heard
from in the neal future.

trenches for a distance OF 100 feet.
This ledge or dyke is 20 feet wide and
pans clear across. An average samp-
ling of the entire body gave assays of
s21 and $3.50. In one place a hole was
sunk 10 feet in the dyke and a quartz
vein 3 feet wid disclosed. A sampling
Of this vein returned about the same
results as the dyke but there is great
probability that this quartz will make
into high grade ore. Codd reports that
on one OF the claims water of good quail
ity is to be had on the surface. A very
shallow trench was dug in the earth and
the seepage is enough to keep it filled
right along. Some of the samples which
Mr.. Codd brought back show free gold.
1t is thought the holders will sell a
portion of this ground retaining enough
to give good acreage to a company

Some remarkable surface values have
just been discovered on the Frances
group of the claims that afford assays
as high as s1,2S0 to the ton. While
the original source of this discovery
has not as yet been located, it is
thought that a series of surface trench
es n prospecting being prosecuted by
the company. will encounter the lead
carrying these values in place. Already
700 feet of development work has been
on the Frances group
A large mining equipment has been
ordered for the property and as o
as the machinery arrives, development
will be carried along on modern lines.

ATLANTA

On Thursday afternoon the Century
Leasing company in its Atlanta lease
struck the best looking rock which has
yet been opened up on the Atlanta. 1t
is not known yet whether this stuff car
ries value enough to be workable but
it has every appearance of being good
grade rock. The find is in the shaft
at a depth Of $40 feet and as this is
the deepest working on Atlanta ground
it practically proves that nothing is
needed but depth to find the pay rock.

Strike in Hard Coal
Regions Is Averted
TOO MUCH BOOZE KILLED
WARD COUNTY FARMER

Bowbells, N. D., May 4-Drunken-
ness is given as the cause of the death
of Fred Mendel which occurred about
while the man was on his
way from town to his home thir-
teen miles north. Mendel had been in
town during the day and early even
ing leaving for his home about 10
o'clock. The team arrived shortly ai-
ter midnight and upon investigation it
was found that the driver was dead in
the wagon. He had drank freely
while in town, which has heretofore
been his habit and it was at first
thought that he had been the victim OF
drugs. Drs. Limburg and Lenfest,
Dentist A. R. Foster and Marshal Ar
thur Day drove to the home where a
coroner's inquest was held. The dead
mans stomach was found to contain a
large amount Of whiskey, but no sign
of any other dope or drugs The sup
position is that the man imbibed too
freely which resulted in heart failure.
Deceased was farmer and leaves a
vile and FIVE children.

Miners Referred the
Entire Matter Back to
Scale Committee.
Outlook Is Now Bright for Return
of Men to Work at Early
Date.

Scranton. Pa, May 4-There is
every prospect that a strike of the hard
coal miners may be averted.
The afternoon session Of the anthra-
cite miners convention lasted an hour
and at its conclusion it was announced
that the delegates had voted to refer
the question OF the strike or the accept
ance Of the operators proposal for
continuance under the present scale
back to the scale committee.
A committee composed Of the exe-
cutiye board Of the three anthracite
districts was instructed to make a
recommendation to the convention at
tomorrow's session.
Immediately after adjournment the
scale committee met to debate the
course it will follow. There is reason
to believe that a peaceful settlement
will be made and that the men who
have been idle since April will soon
be ordered back to the mines.

Amendment Gives Circuit u. s.
Courts Jurisdiction to Hear
Complaints ON Rates.
This Is Satisfactory to President
Roosevelt and Will Insure
Passage of Bill.

Washington, May 4.-What amounts
practically to an agreement ON the exA
listing differences concerning the court
features of the railroad rate bill has
been reached by the senate conferences
extending over last week, and Senator
Allison will offer an amendment confer
ring jurisdiction upon the circuit courts
to hear and determine suits brought
against the interstate commerce com
mission.
The amendment will not suggest to
the court whether their Judicial review
shall be confined to the constitutional
questions or whether it shall be an in
quiry into the justice or the reasonable
ness of the rates fixed by the commits
sion. Senator Long and Senators Aid
rich and Crane are agreed that the COM
promise IS satisfactory to President
Roosevelt Undoubtedly this means that
the obstacles to speedy passage of the
measure have been removed.

SUMMARY OF GA2FIELD'S
CHARGES AGAINST ROCKY

Washington May 4-Commissioner
Garfield in his report on the Standard
Oil Co, says;
! The general result of the investiga-
tion has been to disclose the existence
3of numerous and fragrant discrimina-
tions by the railroads in behalf of the
Standard Oil Co. and its affiliated cor
porations
With comparatively few exceptions,
mainly of the other large concerns in
California, the Standard has been the
sole beneficiary of such determinations
In almost every section of the coun-
try that company has been found to en-
joy some unfair advantages over its
competitors and some of these discrim-
inations affect enormous areas.
Determinations in transportatons of
oil embrace variety Of forms, the more
important of which may be classed un-
der the following heads
First-Secret and seni-secret rates.
Second -Dscriminations in the open
of rates.
Third-Discriminations in classifiea-
ton and rules of shipments.
Observation-Disclosures in treatment

FINANCIERS ARE NOW AT
EACH OTHERS THROATS

New York, May "A new light has
been thrown on the insurance muddle
by the explanation of District Attorney
jerome for his delay in pressing the
cases against Geo. w. Perkins and the
insurance men.
According to Jerome the band Of high
financiers who have stood shoulder to
shoulder for 50 long in their determined
efforts to squeeze the common people
are now at each others throats.
Il understand that there are strange
forces Of character moving on the face
Of the waters at times in this city, and
such q course as that, this eager. burn
ing desire to force matters into the
grand juryroom, is to say the least pc
culiar There is bitter conflict be-
tween the Morgan ard Hartman in
terests.
In reporting. the grand jury said it
had asked Jerome for evidence but had
received none. Recorder Goff told the
jury It had not done its full duty.
