sUPERINTENDENT's REPORT.
The keynote of the report of the su-
perintendent, Prin. A. D. Wiggin, is
one of confidence in the condition of
the schools. The enrolment of pu-
pills in town is slightly larger than
last year. A class iii business prac-
tice has been added to the High
school, which now numbers 80, and
has proved very successful. The
elective system, introduced in 1906,
whereby a student may take any rea-
sonable number of years to complete
the course Of study, has worked very
smoothly and to the advantage Of the
school in many ways.

acting to some extent, also that
money be raised for the W. Fl. S.

expense of graduation. The admis-
sion fee will be small but large
attendance is desired. Come every
one and encourage the teachers and
young people.

duction is chiefly silver and lead, with copper as a by-product.
 Tt is developed by a tunnel 5000 feet hong. winch connects with the shaft of the Anchor mine at the 1200- foot level According to it's annual report, the gross earnings last year were $S16,96S. and expenses s316.963.
 ''On the strength of it's strong show ing, dividends of 37 l-2c share quar- terly were begun in January of this year and two diTidsais were paid re- quiring S225.0O for the 100000 shares. Evidenly it was mistake beginning dividend payments at that time, as the management decided to pass the July dividend and apply the money tts development 51essseiiccff and imnraEe ment purposes. including the installa- tion of electric transportation in the mine in place of aerial transportation.
 New ground Is also to be yigol ous iy developed. The shares. which dIe $1 per, were selling as high as sl4 a share after the payment of dividends, having advanced nearly 50 per cent, and are now selling around S6.
 The production has not held up this spring. and the need of more de yelopment work is evident. The com pany is we'll supplied with funds, the treasury containing s269,02S cash at the beginning. and at the June mee,, ing the treasurer reported funds an. i pie to meet a dividend without crIp bling the treasury if the directors de. sired. Local authorities believe m more dividends will be paid this year and such policy should put the prop erty in a condition to resume aivi dends permanently by another year.

It is refreshing to note that in the history of theT abata-ochi district, II has never been necessary to gloss oV- CT. or omit mention of a property in the absence of something honest anc complimentary to say about it. Quite true. it cannot be said that every thing in that district is DiasiIs5 success; at the same time nothing has been an acknowledged failure. NO nronositiou in that interesting belt mas been a failure considering the amount of work and exploration accomplished. Al the same time, it cannot be said that there is a really big thing Tn the district. reasoning from the stand roint of heavy company operations and capital in corresponding volume.
 It is the chloriders paradise to start in with and every property that mas been developed to a respectable e&- tent has given promise Of being nice company proposition of ordinary proportions. with the prospect that some of them may yet De listed .,Fnoue the standard producers. That is good enough. Enough to guaran- tee that modest and discreet inFest- nent cannot lose. while it Is pIacu- cally certain to yield reasonable re turns. The Antigua, the Moran prop critics. and a few others, are approach ing standard proportions as develop ment progresses.
 The newer and less developed prop, cries. especially the Jesusita and some of it's neighbors, are rapidly coming to the front and will require additional development facilities De fore the work progresses much furtn- CT.
 The property of the Elizabeth com pany. vigorously handled by Con vas green, is rewarding its owners with profuse evidences of being neat pro ducer. Quick returns have brought this district into popular prominence since men in moderate circumstances have developed a growing antlpatny to settling on propositions which will hiring no returns until after they are consigned to the cool sympathies oi the uEGertaker.

Ex- cepting only Cuba, no othe7 country sends so large proportion of its ex- ports to the United Stases.

1HE NAcozARI olsrRIcr

This district, in a local sense, is crystallizing very rapidly as the core of mighty combination of producers. on precisely the same plan as Cana nea. It has the same approximate natural advantages so far as deyel- oped and its future is guaranteed by conditions which the great Greene district never enjoyed; consPicuously, the certainty of rival railroad sys- tems. and the number of independent managements which have come to .}igHf. even in the initial history Of the camp. It constitutes one of those happy spectacles of prosperity, where nature holds enough for all. and one mans good fortune does not gather the echo of another mans downfall.
