INSTITUTE PROCEEDINGS.
trrom Tuesdays Daily.)

frTOiH lusSudy E)aily.D
Shortly after o'clock yesterday
morning DR.. Bell, the institute con-
ductor. called the teachers to order,
and Immediately some sixty-fiye pairs
of eyes turned toward the platform.
After few preliminary remarks the
program was discussed at length.
While the point was not thrust at us
too forcibly. we were evidently intend
ed to understand that each teacher
needed something the institute could
offer and some individuals needed ev-
erything.
Mrs. Pulford. La Plata county's eff
cient superintendent. made a few ex-
plantations after which, as so much OF
the first period had been used, DR..
Bell yielded the floor to Mrs. Bell, the
instructor in primary methods. This
work Is one OF the most important
parts OF the institute. II the founda-
ton OF the structure is not well laid
no education building can be beauti-
full, strong and permanent. Educators
have long recognized the value Of cap
GDle primary teachers. as evidenced BY
the high salaries some OF them com.
mand.
One of the noted superintendents oil
the state said that II he wanted to
select high school teacher. he would
watch her work with a class OF second
grade pupils II she could succeed
with them she could teach anywhere
Yesterday morning Mrs. Bell had q
| class OF seven little folks, Ave girls
and two boys. with whom she expected
| TO illustrate the methods and princi
pies necessary to successful primar,
teaching. She stated. in beginning
that her purpose was to become ac
quainted with the children. Accord
ingly every one watched her to se'
how she did 1t.
1t looked very easy; 1t seemed as
tonishngly simple. There was no net
vous gush, no fuss Or worry. Tw'
bright colored woven hammocks wer
shown to the children. Then teache
and pupils talked about them. Befor

and general manager. These officers
had for their advisers Assistant Gen
eral Manager A. Sheard, Consulting
Engineer Harvey A. Shipman and Su
perintendent John Sweeney. The re
suit of the inspection and conferences
which followed was a decision that the
properties of the company justified a
stili larger plan of development than
had been pursued with every assur.
ance that they would take rank as
| one of the greatest and most produc-
tive group of mines in the world.
The details OF the enlarged plan of
operation were not divulged, of course,
but will become public as operations
proceed.
The work done this spring and sum
mer up to the present time has put
the mineways In good condition and
opened up large bodies of ore, so
that the greater plan of development
is facilitated.
Mr.. Potter is member of the firm
of Hornblower, Miller & Potter, the
leading attorneys of New York. He
is also president of the Cumberland
corporation, controlling two railroads
and several large coal companies.
Mr.. Potter was accompanied on his
visit by his friend Sidney Carrere,
prominent corporation attorney of
New York.
Mr.. Hauser, the treasurer. is a mem.
ber of the firm of Zimmerman &
Forshay, bankers, . and IL Wall street
who have occupied their present site
for thirty years, and in addition to
their local prominence have large Eu-
ropean connections.
The following have been added to
the executive staff and the company
at Rico: A. Sheard, assistant general
manager; j. Sweeney. superintendent
and Harvey A. Shipman, consulting en-
gineer.
Mr.. Sheard has splendid record as
an executive and mine manager both
in Australia and South Africa as the
representative of large English compa.
MES, and has an excellent opportuni.
ty here to duplicate his past successes.
Mr.. Sweeney was superintendent OF
the famous Molie Gibson mine at
Aspen when 1t was the most marvel
GUS producer of silver In the state
He has lately occupied similar po-
sition on mines owned by the Gug-
genheims in Mexico. His reputation
as a practical mining man is of the
highest order, and as the geological
formation of Rico and Aspen are prac.
tically the same, his experience in
the latter camp is of great value at
present.
Harvey A. Shipman, the consulting
engineer, was formerly general man
ager of Stratton's Independence mine
at Cripple Creek, and at one time was
of large and successful prop
critics in Australia. Many of the lead
ing mining engineers of the world
have visited Rico in the earlier days
OF high grade reduction and none has
ever made an unfavorable report, but
few were able to grasp conditions
here, as a whole, so quickly, and seem
ingly with such accuracy as Mr.. Ship
man.
The News does not know of any
other mining company equipped with
men who rank above Sheard, Ship
man and Sweeney in their respective
lines and certainly there is none
whose past records Of success is cal
culated to inspire greater confidence.
The financial end of the company
with any other in the United
States and there is no other mining
district that ever pretended to have
as much ore within a prescribed zone
as Rico.
