The capacity OF the smelter has been
raised from $50 10 $50 tons daily since
MI Sacman took hold.
While the improvements at the smelt-

COAfPANY's PROPERTIES.

Bingham camp, IL Is also In possession
OF a valuable group OF claims IN the
Tinttc district II comprises $50 acres
near the head Of Carr Fork, adjoining
the Utah Consolidated on the north and
the Boston Consolidated on the west.
The mine now contains many
miles Of workings and is one Of
the best developed and opened prop
critics in the camp OF Bingham.
Two tunnels and a shaft constitute
the main workings. The shaft has been
put down ZOO feet in the ledge from
the surface and besides the two tunnels,
seven different levels have been run FOR
greater or less distances in the ore
bodies. which vary in thickness from
10 feet near the surface 60 100 feet thick
on the Craig or !, 100 foot tunnel level.
BIG TONNAGE IN SIGHT.
Noarly two years ago there were over
q. O0O, 600 tons OF ore blocked out in this
mine. Careful sampling determined this

Strong High School Elevens to Battle on Yale Varsity

The Stanford High school football team will play the N. H. H. $ eleven this afternoon at o'clock at Yale field. The game will be played on the Yale varsity grounds and ought to be a crack-a-iack exhibition from the re- ports from Stamford. This latter team has had very successful season and expect to make a fine showing here this afternoon against the team rightfully claiming the championship of the state High schools. A large delegation is expected to come with the Stamford eleven.
 The lineup of the New Haven team will be as follows: l. e., Muse; l. t., Davis; ls~g, Frankel, C., Flanagan; T. g., Chandler; r. t., Bird; r. e., Alder man; q. b., Connolly; l. h. b.. Faxe; r. h. b., Connors; f. b., Messinger (cap- tain).
 The game of Thanksgiving for the High school team is at yet undecided Meriden may play the local team, but there is little chance for such con- test Meriden will not risk being de- feated and being robbed of half owner ship of the state championship Should not this game be played Manager Graves has arranged to play the Eop- kins Grammar school eleven. This team was fast and strong eleven, but they have not been playing many games of late and have dropped some in condition.
 The alumni team is trying hard to get a game with the High school Thursday morning, but Graves has not assented to their wish. The alumni are mak- ing every preparation for the game and expect that Graves will give ia and play them. Some of the alumni who will play are Bird, Donegan, Tommer, Broodbeut and zang.

THE CHILDREN OF THE ARMY.

The conditions confronting officers and men who have children to edu- cate are simply pitiful. Many an of ficer is at this moment in debt, and paying interest on borrowed money not that he may send his son or his daughter to a good school, or keep them in some city where their edu- cation will be continuous and uninter- rupted. No matter of domestic econ omy touches officers more deeply than this of the ohildrens education.
 It Is true that the public schools of a city, if the post be near city, are generous in taking boys and girls in, and some do so for tuition fee, but it is, nevertheless, a fact that an army officer cannot demand local school service as a right, because of his profession and his residence on a military reservation, Even when near city, the post is outside of 1t, and the children spend from two to four hours daily travelling behind army mules to and from the school house.
 The so-oalled post schools" now established and to which children are sometimes sent through absolute ne- cessity because of isolation, are a farce, for the officer having the high sounding title of Superintendent of post schools" is generally so fully oc- cupied with other engaging military duties that he can give little or no attention to the school development and system, while the man who is teacher has usually never acted in that capacity before. Again, officers and men are so changed about that the education of the children is sub- ject to sad and costly interruptions, a; they frequently go back one grade ir their transfer from one locality tc another,
 Is there not a remedy for this West Point represents hundreds oi similar, though smaller cases, and these children are as lusty, as loya and as American as any the natior produces.

NOW A MONOPOLY.
Last Rival of New England s. s. Go.
 Goes Into Receivers Hands.

The Enterprise Transportation com pany, the last rival of the New Eng land Navigation company, in the sound steamer traffic, has passed into the hands of a receiver The Enter- prise line operated the steamers Ken nebec, Frank Jones and St. Croix be- tween New York, Fall River and Prov idence.
 Thursday, Hollis R. Bailey of Bos- ton, who has been appointed receiver of the concern, visited Providence and discharged the employees of the office there. The steamship Saint Croix which was due to sail for New York tonight, was ordered to remain at her wharf, with full crew by, until fur ther instructions J As the ship will re- ceive her annual inspection in few days 1t is necessary to have her crew aboard so that their retention may not mean that traffic will be resumed un- der the recivership.
 The owners of the Enterprise line are said to be New Jersey psrtleas
