Tramp Consolidated
Charles Garden, superintendent of
The Tramp Consolidated, has a force of
mon at work in the Tramp tunnel and
w;, drive ahead for about 200 feet,
rhen he will start sinking on this level.
The Tramp tunnel, which follows the
Tramp vein, is now in better than 1000
feet. and 200 feet further will put it
under the Tramp shaft, down $50 feet.
When this connection is made, a hoist
inc plant will be installed on the tun-
mel level, and sinking begun.
The Tramp and Eclipse lodges form
mnetion in this vicinity, and it is
evident that very rich ground may be
expected. superintendent Garden will
concentrate his energies in this locality
and install hosting machinery just as
soon as practicable.
Capricorn
IL. Burns, owner of the Capricorn
property in the Funeral range, and in
terested in a lease now being operated
on the claims, was in town this week.
The lessees are prosecuting from the
7jfoot level and it is thought the vein
will be reached in about 10 feet. The
formation is changing and the indica-
tons are that vein matter is being
neared.
At the Locke artz lease on the same
property the vein has been reached in

the Belmont. and on the ~l,O00-foot level
the workings Of the Belmont are very
close to the North Star line. This lat
ter crosscut will be continued right on
into the North Star ground and will
correspond with its l,150-foot level,
and will be used by this company to de-
velop the easterly portion of its ground.
West End
The West End comes to the front this
week with one of the best strikes made
in the camp for many months. For sew
eral laws the new shaft, which is being
sunk 500 feet west of the old one, has
been encountering lunches of rich ore,
but on Wednesday night the last round
of holes showed the bottom of the shaft
to be full of very high grade sulphide
ore. the value of which will run into the
hundreds of dollars per ton. The quartz
is very solid and black with sulphides.
How extensive the ore shoot is is not
vet known. because sufficient work has
not been done on it, but from all APP
pearances it has the earmarks of a big
bonanza. This shaft will be continued
on down 10 feet further to the 400-foot
point, when prosecuting will begin to
connect with the west drift from the
old shaft. Development work will also
be pushed on the new find. The regular
work is going on in the Slopes from the
40O.foot level and the east and west
drifts on the 200 level near the north
sideline.
Belmont
The work of opening up the lower
levels of this mine continues at a rapid
pace. a total of 2S2 feet of new ground
having been broken this week. The
mine, as a whole, is making an excel
lent showing, and a constant improve
ment is noted in the various workings.
This week the bottom of a new winze
started in the east drift from the No.
4 south crosscut shows a fine vein of ore,
carrying SOou HiiihS "N''
punches of very high grade. Taken all
in all, the management is being amply
rewarded for it's extensive development
work.
On the 700-foot level, No. IL south
crosscut is now out a distance of 19o
feet. As of which were made this week.
The face shows stringers of quartz ear
rving low values. Several small veins
have been encountered by this crosscut,
but no work done upon them as yet.
The east drift on the Occidental vein
is now ont 81 feet, the face showing 3
feet of low grade quartz. Considerable
ore has been extracted from this vein
in this drift. it having produced 3 feet
of good milling ore for a distance of
SO feet.

The big strike reported in the Miner
last week on this property has been get
ting better every day. At first the rich
ore was found in a stringer, then the
ledge opened up to 2 feet, and now the
face of the west drift shows from A to
. feet of very rich ore, a sample taken
across the face Thursday for ) feet Civ
ing returns which will crowd the 5000
mark. Some of the most beautiful
specimens ever seen in the camp have
been taken out during the past few
days. These specimens vary in size
from 2 inches to | foot, and consist Of
solid aggregates of silver sulphide erys
tails. The ledge shows lots of ruby and
brittle silver throughout. The stops ON
this ledge, east of the late find, has been
in good grade milling ore for some time,
but Yesterday the west end of the stope,
which is still Is feet east of the rich
ore just spoken of, shows a continu rus

are going forward now at the rate of n
carload every two days.
North Star and Rescue
Important changes have taken place
recently in regard to the development
of the property owned by the North
Star and Rescue mining companies. Ar
rangements have been completed with
the T~onopah-B Belmont company by which
all future operations in the North Star

secured and that the prospects of
busy winter has already given an
impetus to business in the lumber
country where heavy logging means
an immense business in all lines.
Last winter was the most quiet in
the history of northern Minnesota
and there were more idle men stroll
ing from camp to camp looking for
work. The wages were low and the
men were dissatisfied, and after
working long enough to secure
small stake would head for some
other camp to get better wages. The
quest would be in vain and after
while they would take another
mooch" as they call it, and this
process was kept up till spring when
very few of the men had money
enough to get west on and were
broke when they arrived in the cities.

The Bemidji Bible Conference
which was organized some four years
ago and which has held conferences
in this city every year during the
month of July, has been re-organized,
and under the new order of things
will be a stronger organization than
ever and will be more far-reaching
in it's scope than heretofore.
At meeting held in the new Y.
NJ. C. A. building in St. Paul, a few
days ago, new set of officers were
elected, a constitution adopted and
the conference reorgan1zed generally.

Attorney Chas. Scrutchin of
Bemidji spent yesterday in the city
and in an interview stated that the
employment agents there report that
they have orders for more men to
work in the lumber camps than they
have had for years, and that'it was
estimated that twice as many logs
would be banked as were cut last
winter.

APPEALED THE DECISION
TO STATE SUPREME COURT
Attorneys for Mayor Pogue Appeal from Order of Judge

The controversy over the estab-
lishment of Bemidji's municipal

satisfaction of the parties to the con-
troversy by decision from the
supreme court of Minnesota.
On Monday, Judge Stanton rem
dered decision in the application
for the stay of enforcement of the
peremptory mandamus, in which he
denied the stay and ordered Mayor
Pogue to for thwith sign the warrants

members OF the committee state
that every effort is being put forth
to make next years conference the
best in the history of the organiza-
ton.
Last year conditions were such
locally, that there was not large
attendance, although many noted
speakers were here and the program
was excellent. Reports got abroad
that there pas smallpox epidemic
in Bemidji, and many who did come
here, remained but a day or two.
The reports were unfounded as to
the severity of the disease. There
were one or two cases of smallpox,
which were of very mild form.
Bemidji is an ideal place for a
summers outing and those who have
visited here before are enthusiastic
as to the manner in which the con.
ference was conducted and the ex.
cellent attractions of Bemldji as a
summer resort.

COUNTY SUPT, STEWART
MAKES BIENNIAL REPORT
Shows Progress Made in Be|traml
County Schools. Makes Sugges-
lions for Their Betterment.

Biennial Report of The Schools
of Beltrami County to The State
Superintendent of Public Instruction.
1t is with pleasure l have the
honor to present to you the follow
ing brief report of the schools of this
county. Rapid progress is being
made and in general the work is
very commendable on the part of all
concerned.
This county has now eighty dis
tricts with 1O7 schools. Twelve new
buildings were erected the past year
The villages of Wilton and Redby
have built very nice modern one
room houses at a cost of $1,000 and
$1,000 respectively. In each base
ments were provided and furnaces
installed. Last year Nymore added
two rooms to their school building
and now have very commodious
quarters. In addition to the above
Baudette has just completed a fine
four room building at a cost of $40,
900. Blackjack is replacing a frame
building with very handsome eight
room brick costing $4,000. When
completed it will be one of the best
school buildings of it's size to be
found any where and the people of
Blackjack as we'll as others men,
toned deserve great praise for their
interest thus taken.
Teachers. fact the past two
years there has been a marked
improvement in the teachers of the

directors, nine in number, divided
into three classes of three each, and

county. The number of home teach
ers is rapidly increasing and more
efficient work is being done. This
is due largely to the excellent
attendance at the summer: schools
held here the past two years. The
work of teachers and those in at
tendance as we'll as the work of the
in structors cannot be too highly
praised. Regardless of what is
being done there is yet a too linn
tied number of teachers holding state
certificates to fill the schools. 1t
is almost impossible to secure a
normal graduate at any price and
not infrequently has school board
asked for a teacher holding a state
certificate and one is secure d only
by chance. 1t is pleasing however
to see the loyal, energetic and de-
voted work that is going on from
day to day in the school room and
there is nothing but praise for the
persons thus engaged.
Meetings of School Officers
One such meeting has been held
each year with an average attend
ance of about one hundred men,
bers present. The last meeting was
held July 18th during the time of
the summer school and the program
was so arranged as to spend short
time in the school and thus see the
actual work being done. At this
meeting Asst. State Superintendent
c. D. Schultz was present and gave
very excellent address on the
subject: Public Schools and Pro-
gress." AS a result of such meet
iugs there is a greater interest in
heating and ventilating school rooms,
an increased desire to obtain the
special state aid, provide libraries,
apparatus, books and teachers hold
ing state certificates and to beautify
