" More than this, it will cost the corpo- ration, to prepare and install the eX- hibit, the round sum of about ten thousand dollars. It is by the Ameri- can and Victor Fuel companies of Denver, and is to be a representation of western coal mine and moving pictures thereof, the whole to be shown within a miniature mountain, a frame work shell, one hundred or more feet in diameter, made especially for the purpose.

of the corporation in it's relations with
 the miners and their families.
 The pictures were taken by a power ful lens, made somewhat in the form and capable of the wide and minute vision of the eve of an eagle. This machine particularly is designed for landscape photography, and, when it caught the scenes for the show that we are to see in Albuquerque, it was op- erated from the front end of a moving flat car. The car slowly moving through the villages and camps of the ] OsgoOd companies, and the lens re- ivolving, every square inch of the land- scape was caught by the machines powerful and accurate vision. Much | in the same way the interior of the mine was taken.
 So when visitors behold these pie lures, they will be under the spell of an illusion that they are moving through the landscape. In front, the railroad track and its curves, and be- ! yOnd and on either side, village streets, | homes, stores, workshops and their smoke, churches, schools. hospitals, mine entries, aerial tramWays, tipples and cars dumping, moving trains, peo- | pie, domestic animals, mountains, can yons. birds of the air, even the sky and it's distant clouds Within the mines, safety and health devices, etc, will be shown. Nothing escaped the vision of this wonderful eye of human m2cf1an- ism, and nothing will be omitted by the reproduction in the moving pictures.
 It will be pleasing spectacle won derful to behold but, more than the spectacle. it will be an object lesson of the benevolent and philanthropic side of the corporation. In the ab- stract, it is no part of capital to pro vide for the physical moral, and intel lectual advancement of employees and their families, but in these pictures the spectator will behold hospitals, con ducted by the corporation; costly churches, built by the corporation, and schools established by the corpo- ration. The superior architecture of the homes occupied by the miners and their families, the evidences of safe guarding the public health. the we'll appointed stores, the municipal utili- ties, etc,-all will be apparent to be- holders of this wonderful panorama, and will not fail to leave an impress sion in thoughtful minds.
 Such is the lesson Mir. OsgOod de- signs to convey by this contribution to the exposition. and such, there can be no doubt is the character of the man.

His native state has long been noted for its good shots, which doubtless ac- counts for his early acquiring the great skill he has displayed in his exhibitions before admiring thousands. MT. Top perwein uses ordinary Winchester ri- fles shooting a solid ball. or in other words, the regular cartridges such as an individual would buy of his local dealer. The targets he shoots at when thrown into the air comprise oranges. apples, bits of coal ,walnuts, small marbles. empty cartridge shells and other tiny objects.
 During the Worlds Fair in St. Louis MT. TOpperWein broke 3507 flying tar gets without a miss The targets were a composition disc 214 inches in diam eter. and were thrown in the air 9 feet from him. This record was made in four hours and ten minutes and was witnessed by hundreds of spectators.
 Another feat performed by him was
 to hit S5 out of 100 2H-inch targets l thrown in the air he doing the shoot ing while riding at full speed in an automobile. MT. Topperwein is the

 markable performance with a rifle on record and is likely to stand for some
 time to come, as aside from the al- l most incredible score the physical eX- ertion is something tremendous. Mir. TOpperwein's skill is not confin- | ed alone to, rifle work, as he also does some phenomenal shooting with a pis- tol and a shotgun.

Mrs: AdoIph Topperwein.

Mrs. Adolph Topperwein, who shoots to demonstrate the superior qualities of the American Powder Mills Dead Shot smokeless powder, is without doubt, the premier lady shot in the world. Although she took up shooting only about four years ago, she has startled the shooting world and enter tained many thousands of people by her skill with rifle. shotgun and pistol. She Is what might properly be called a natural born shot" as without seeming difficulty she masters any new form of shooting quickly and easily. Her first public appearance was at the Worlds Fair in St. Louis. where with Winchester Automatic rifle she broke 9G7 out of 1000 21s inch flying targets.

As soon as a large reduction plant can be installed the great bodies of lower grade ore will be extracted and milied, but with the small plant now in use only high grade ores will be taken cut. Water sufficient for all purposes has been secured and the mill was only compelled to lose one day in the past two weeks on this account. Sinking below the present level will soon be under way and it is expected to run the main shaft down to a depth below the 800 as soon as possible.

Tq He Public School System, be-
ginning with the kindergarten
and continuing on through the
eight grades, could not be con-
sidered complete without its final
stage, the High school.
Salt Lake City is happily past that
point where the citizens think of her
educational system as composed of
the public schools and the high
schools for they realize that in many
essential respects the high school is
the most important department in the
public school system.
The present situation OF the school
on the block bounded by First and
Second North between Second and
Third West streets, was formerly the
home of the University OF Utah. At
the time the school, after various

found possible in the salaries Of teach
ers, and it is hoped that the legisla-
ture will see its way clear to allow
further increase in wages commensur-
ate with the labors put forth and the
qualifications required ut the hands of
the state teachers. During the year the
state board OF education has issued
nearly 300 state certificates and di-
