NEGRO CHILDREN
WANT ADMlTTANCE

The question of segregating the ne
gro pupils in the public schools came
Before Superintendent Lutz yesterday
wnen two negro pupils presented them
:elyes for admittance to rooms other
than that assigned them in the Seventh
street school. S. z. Dyson, it is I'M
.derstood, contemplates taking the mat
ter to court. The legal step would be
\ petition for a mandamus in the
district court on the Douglas school
trustees TO compel them to grant the
negro children admittance to the
sclool rooms the same as white chill
dren.
The claim of the negro parents Is
that under the present plan their chill
en- will be deprived of the full bene-
IS of the school system in the city
which they are entitled. No def
re steps have yet been taken.

/ believe this will mean much for the
farmers of this section. as they must
have place where produce will find
a ready market The splendid rains
which have visited this section during
the season viii be of tremendous adj
vantage to all OF US and we now are
anxious to have a proper arrangement
for the produce. This, of course, has
been done in degree. but am sure
that much advantage can be given us

REGISTRATION AT
DOUGLAS NOW 1897

There is just about a month yvt in
which citizens of Douglas can register.
The closing day of registration is DC
tober 10. Up to yesterday afternoon
the total registration in Douglas was
1897. Justice Ben Rice had 326 voters
registered, mis- clerk, John Igo, Sic.
j. B. Pierson. at the C. & A. smelter,
has registered rs. and Robert McClay,
at the Copper Queen smelter. $780,
1t is thought the registration this
year will not be as heavy as it was two
years ago. Last spring it was about
1900.
To secure a vote at the fail cleo.
ton it is necessary for the voter to be
registered. The fact that ne was reg
istered at the spring election does not
entitle him to a vote tnis fall.

mer.
Both of these mines are now shut
down, although the Belen has been
operating continuously until recently.
New pipes and boilers are now being
installed in this mine and the con-
pany is also undergoing a partial re-
organization and until these two mat
tiers are completed, operations viii
not be resumed. 1t is thought likely
however, that both of these will have
been accomplished ere long and it is
probable that the Belen will be I'm
der production again soon after the
first of the year, If not before.
At the Transvaal both mines and
smelter have been shut down for
several months and the mules former
ly used to transport the bullion from
the smelter to Nacozari have been
sold, it being the intention of General
Manager H. c. Beauchamp not to
make any shipments from CumpaS IN
til connection shall be made between
that camp and Nacozari by the ESpee
extension which is now progressing in
that direction and it was economy to
dispose of the stock and buy new later.
Mr.. Davenport states, however, that
there is p likelihood of resuming work
on the mines about January first
Since the shut down at the Trans
vaal only he and Be6uchamp have
been on Improperly caring for its
maintenance ard preservation. Daven-
port expects to return 10 camp today
and Mr.. BeauchamB is expected to. ar
rive in Douglas by Friday or Saturday
for a few days in civilization and to
look after necessary business matters.
VanDusen was unable to get away
from the Belen as soon as he desired,
rs he had to wait until Jay Augustine,
who is in charge of the Douglas office
OF the company, closed up some bust
ness affairs to come down to the camp.
The Transvaal smelter is at Cumpas
proper, while the mineral properties
are several miles distant, but the two
are connected by excellent wagon
roads. There are three copper-silver
propositions and a valuable iron de-
post as well, besides a number of
other properties in greater or less
stages of development, while the
mines proper can show considerably
more than 10000 feet of development
The Belen mines are directly adj
jacent to the Transvaal and are not
so extensive nor so fully developed,
and this mine has always suffered
from the ;ukalide waters about it.

Bernoudy and Wright, who recently
secured ]. G. Sweeney's lease on this
property, are wei pleased with their
purchase. They are continuing opera
tons, one shift being at work taking
cut ore for shipment
At first the tunnel was continued.
Now, however, Wine is being sunk
on the ore.
The ore vein still continues and
some good assays of it have recently
been received
This ore is of the silyer-lead class,
the richest values usually being silver.
Il carries copper, also. Assay for cop
per had not been made until recently,
when one sample showed values of
141z per cent in the red metal.
It is not our intention to make any
extravagant statements or unwarrant-
ed predictions, but it is common re-
port that this strike and the one on
the Buford and Myers are Of more
than ordinary importance so far, es-
pecialiy that of the Columbia, from
which ore has been taken out almost
continuously for about two months,

which samples have been tested, did
not prove TO be so high-grade as was
expected, not being of shipping char
acter, though il might pay to treat on
the ground.
Though the assay certificate was
somewhat disappointing, there is no
disappointment so far as are con
cerned present prospects of the exist
ence close at hand of large body of
iead-silver ore. And the indications
are just as good as ever that the ore
being sought will, If found, be rich.
AS there is ore still in sight, the
prospects are as bright as ever. II
should also be remembered that one
OF the most encouraging features in
connection with this strike has been
and is the class of ore, which is uu-
usually rich in iron and apparently
quite free from silica.
When the ground in the shaft be.
came soft, and further sinking without
ttmbering was seen to be impossible,
the tunnel, seventy feet down the hill.
was started and had it been continued
10 the shaft it by that time would
have gained vertical depth of about
thirty feet. But when the tunnel had
been driven thirty feet and was under
cover fifteen feet, the ground became
so soft that farther progress was i'm.
possible without mining timhers, the
use of which there would have been
unwarranted So, without reaching
their destination, the owners returned
to work in the shaft They timbered
with great difficulty; but the timbers
are holding all right and all is in read
mess to proceed with farther sinking.
