Chinese New Year
Vacation.

Mr.. Baldwin has won the competitor
for writing the new school geography
of Hawaii, by the unanimous opinion
of the committee of selection appoint
ed some time ago by the Board of Edu-
cation. At yesterdays meeting of that
body the report of the committee was
adopted without word of dissent. Be-
sides the main report by the chairman,
Mrs Dowsett. each member of the
committee through her submitted an
individual criticism of the rival works
of Mr.. Baldwin and Mr.. Copeland. All
we're remarkably alike in their conclu-
sions. The reports are here printed:
Honolulu, T. H., Feb. II, 1907.
To the Superintendent and Members
of the Board of Education, Homo
lulu, T. H.
For the purpose of securing a more
impartial. independent and unbiased
opinion from each individual member
of this committee as to the merits of
the two Biographies, / requested
separately written opinion from each
one, after a meeting held at the office
of the Board of Education, when the
two Biographies were discussed at
length and in all detail.
As chairman of such committee ]
now submit these reports and ask that
they be accepted as the committees
report on the geography manuscripts.
AS will be found by reading the indi-
vidual opinions, this committee is
unanimously in favor of the Baldwin
geography. Personally. I have never
had any hesitation in deciding in favor
of the Baldwin manuscript for the pur-
poses of a geography, Mr.. Baldwin's
work being more original, more COM
plete and showing a more personal
knowledge of his subject Perhaps
somewhat lengthy and entering too
much into detail. still of valuable in
formation to the interested stranger.
The Copeland geography to my mind
is more of a history. and, like the for
mer work, is too lengthy and too de-
tailed. I should very much like, how
ever, to see Mr. Copeland's compilation
adopted as a reader, for use in our
schools, if for no other reason than for
the interesting and at the same time
reading matter contained
therein. Respectfully submitted,
wILHELMINE DOWSETT,
Chairman.

My Dear Mrs. Dowsett: In comp1i,
ance with your request I would say
that 1 prefer Mr. Baldwin's geography
manuscript for the following reasons:
The prominence given to the physical
development of the islands: the very
excellent arrangement (Which, how
ever, l recognize in the other as almost
equally good; the relief maps; the in
innate personal acquaintance shown
I liked Mr.. Copeland's book very
much, and realize that a great deal of
earnest effort has been expended in its
compilation, but from the standpoint
of the teacher prefer Mr.. Baldwin's.
Very sincerely yours,

JGmes w. Haas was in Kingman sev- eral days thie week arranging a deal with Col. D. H. Jackson on his mining properties in the Mineral Park basin. It is understood that Col. Jackson will do a large amount of work on these mines and that holsters will be put in to sink the shafts below the water line. The mines are in the best belt of the mineral Park section and should prove up big in ore bodies and values.

Thomas McNeely has been in Min eral Park this week locating mines with the Metallic Accident as the nu- cleus for a group. Sampling of the Metallic Accident was most satisfac- tory, the ore running sufficiently high in copper values to assure the owners of bonanza at depth. It is probable that the property will soon pass into the hands of capital.

 Dr. l.. D. Godshall this week visited the Banner group of mines at Stockton Hill, and the Champion mine at Ger bat. These mines are owned by the Arizona Mexican mining & smelting company, of Needles. The properties are shipping large tonnage of ore daily to the shelter, which runs high in lead, gold and silver. The Banner mine has the longest shoot of ore of any mine in the territory, the drift having been run over 1900 feet on an almost unbroken ore body. The vein is very large, and the ore body is from one to five feet in width. There is thousands of tons of milling ore on the mine dumps and several hundred tons of smelling ore is constantly in the bins awaiting shipment to the shelter.
 H. T. Blackwell, superintendent of the Treasure Hill mining company, came in from that property Wednesday afternoon and went into Los Angeles on the evening train. He had with him sack of ore from the recent strike on the property that was very rich in silver. The drift on the prop erty is in 40 feet, all in ore running several hundred ounces silver to the ton, the values being in ruby and na . i've. It is probable that a steam hois- ter and pump will soon be put on the mine and the shaft sunk several hun' dred feet below the present level. Al present the management is trying tc ascertain the length and width of the ore, body and as soon as this is done sinking will be commenced.

s. A. Tyler, accompanied by F. P. Andreas, came over from Mineral Park last Tuesday and arranged the details for the transfer to Mr. Andreas and J. A. Nieset, of Toledo, Ohio, of a one-half interest in the Gold Eagle group of mines, near Mineral Park. A payment was made on the deal and regular payments are to be made un- til the full amount Of the purchase price is paid. The agreement also calls for the development of the mines and water and later for the erection of a thirty-ton milling plant. The pur- chasers of the interest are oil opera tors from the Ohio field and are 'finan- cially able to take care of their end of the agreement. The mines taken over are among the best properties in the c. O. D. section, being but one mile from that great property. Dur ing the past two years MT. Tyler has been steadily at work developing the group and has shipped several car loads of immensely rich ore to the smelters. The mines are opened to such an extent that their values and ore bodies have been practically prov. en to be very extensive. No time will be lost by the new owners in gettin ! to work in systematic manner in the development of the property. Build ings for the accommodation of workmen
