BARTON ON TEXT BOOKS

Regarding the bill before the legis-
lature which, if passed, will require
a uniformity of text books throughout
the various independent school dis
triCts of the state, Superintendent
II. q. Barton has this to say:
''The bill introduced il to the leg
islature providing for a commission
to adopt uniform text books for the
state is an attempt to reenact the
blunder committed eight years ago
wherein the schools of Idaho were
forced to use a set of text books that
on the whole seriously retarded their
progress. That law provided that the
text books should be adopted by a
commission, and that the contract
hould hold for six years. The result
Fas that an inferior set of text books
eTe fostered upon the schools of the
tate and prevented the use of other
Ind better books, as they appeared
rom time to time during that period.
In some cases the teachers were
compelled either to break the law, and
thereby the contract made with the
book companies, and jepordize their
primary money, or lay the books
edopted upon the shelf and under the
nakeshift of supplementary work,
ecure text books th;It could be used
me proposd law provides that the
doption OF these books will amount,
the state, to a contract price inyolv-
ng many thousands OF dollars at the
isposal of commission OF five con-
eistinR very largely of persons who
knoW but little about the general
Deeds Of the schools of the state.
This mistake happened six years ago,
hen at least one member Of that
commission had taught but two years

Practically two years ago. the contract

ortnnity Occur d'Alene and other

Key Committed to the Asylum

Key Committed to the Asylum.
Fred Key, who was taken to Rath-
drum yesterday by L. Roper to be ex-
amined before the probate judge by
physicians for insanity, was adjudged
insane and committed to the state asy-
lum. The examination disclosed the
fact that he had been committed to
the asylum for insanity before COM
ing to this country, on complaint! by
his wife, and that he was subject to
such attacks as the one by which he
caused so much excitement through
out the town Monday evening and
early yesterday morning. Key him
self admitted having been previously
committed to an asylum, in few brief
moments during which his mind APP
peared to be normal. 1t appears that
for some time Key has been having
trouble with his brother and that he
is seeking that party in the hopes of
restoring peace.

The lone mountain two miles south OF
the town Of Golconda is the scene OF
great excitement these days. for 1t Is
there that L. X Kramer found the big
groupings that are so rich in gold. The
ledge is a large one and stands up out
Of the ground in some places for q
height Of five feet or more.
The outcrop can be seen along the
side of the hill for a considerable dis
lance. This large dyke is composed en-
tirely Of quartz and from an
sampling and tests which have been
made by Mr.. Kramer and other parties.
the entire cropping is ore of great value.
Though the ore pans well. the full
values are not disclosed without the
rock being assayed. the gold being not
altogether free. The values seem to be
in fine sulpkides which are scattered
through the ore. and it is believed. on
account of the richness in gold. that
the ore is of a telluride character. There
is no question as to the richness of the
ore for a great number of pieces were
broken at random from the large crop
pings and assays gave the following
values in gold: $32.S0. 1904. $4lS,
s147.s7, $1oo.4s. 1858. ss1.77. s1o7.4s.
ss.e2. s7.44. $1s2.05, 37z.71. $4 and
$37. 40. These values are all In gold.
the silver values which were very slight.
not being added.
This is certainly a wonderful show
ing when 1t is considered that the ledge
is so large and. besides. the assays
which have been made are not from
picked samples as the ore all looks
alike. The samples were all taken from
the outcrop. as there is no other place
from which to taxi them. Some of the
samples which show the highest values
came from the large groupings two feet
above the ground.
The strike was only made public a
few days ago and caused quite a stam-
pede.

with location monuments and the adj

LIKE Mt. GRANT PLACE1 FIELD
E. Kiesel returned this week from the
Lappin country. where he is
interested in some promising prospects.
In conversation with a representative Of
this paper. Mr.. Kuesel spoke in no un-
certain terms concerning his opinion Of
that section.
II believe" III said. that the Lappin
placers will prove more extensive as
further work is done. While great
things cannot be expected this year ow-
ing to the shortness of the season. next
year will witness a mighty revival in
the Mt. Grant country. Mt. Grant itself
is nearly 1900 feet above sea level.
while the Lappin meadows is some $500
feet below the summit. I should say
that weather conditions will necessitate
abandonment of operations within the
next two months at the outside.
Harry Page and his associates are
working a number of men on their hold
ings. Each rocker is cleaning up from
s12 to SIS to the mar.
Blk and Birmingham have some good
prospects and are taking out good
money.
DIR Sprague Of Bodie has purchased
some ground there for $1,000 and con-
siders his buy a bargain.
while the main values are being OBJ
tanned from the placers. there are ledge
prospects in the vicinity that promise
well. The nature of the gold proves
that IL has come but q short distance.
