SHIPPING LIME TO THE MILL
News the Best Since Sale OF
the Buster Year Ago.

The -Orogrande Mining and
Milling company (better known as the
Hogan) will resume mining and milling
operations ina short time on their prop
erty, in Orogrande district. The time
for beginning was set two weeks hence,
but on account of the condition of the
road at present it is thought the origi-
nal plans cannot be followed. Two car
loads of lime has been shipped, but it
cannot be brought from Sites until the
road improves. 1t is given to Mining
News to say that the company will en-
ploy about forty men when the mine
and mill are working full force
Good News for Camp.
This announcement is the best news
this paper has been able to give its
readers since last June when Bradley
and Mackenzie and their associates
bought the Buster mine here in the Elk
district. Aside from increasing the
pay roll in these districts, by giving
employment to more men, the great
Hogan mine will prove the value of the
many excellent properties in the Oro-
grande district, for there is no well in
formed mining man who will dissent to
the opinion that the Hogan mine is
capable of becoming great gold pro
ducer, and needs only to be handled in
the right way.
Twenty Stamps and Cyanide.
The reduction plant at the Hogan
mine consists of 20 stamps. concentrat-
ors and a cyanide plant capable of treat
ing 500 tons day. The mill usually
crushed 100 tons of rock when it was
running before.
There was some talk few months
back that the plant would be overhauled
and some defects remedied before it is
used again.
The Hogan mill has not run since two
years in May, and sinceI that time a
complete reorganizationYa Yand5 5naming of
the company.has beensmade.

DEALING FOR THE HERCULES
Bond Holders Plan to Work
on Extensive Scale.

VIM. Boyd, representing Toronto,
Denver and Spokane capitalists, has
taken bonds on the Alberta and the
Hercules mining properties, in the Elk
City district, and work will be started
on both properties about the first of
May. Mr.. Boyd gave out this informa-'
tion the first of the week.
The Alberta is owned by Bert, Jack
and Frank Harsh, and is only short
distance from the American Eagle.
There are four claims, with three veins,
one of which is exposed to depth of so
feet and has numerous crosscuts. On
the surface the vein is exposed distance
of 1000 feet.
Sawmill, Hoist, Etc.
Mr.. Boyd says wagon road two
miles in length will be constructed first
so they can get the machinery in that
will be necessary in developing the
property. This equipment will consist
of sawmill, hoist and pump and small
compressor.
A shaft will be sunk 300 feet.

day, for they are conditions which
the school directors have specially to
ontend. One form of solution for
these problems in our State Is the
consolidation of the many rural
schools into larger ones where there
will be possibility of graded school
work. Such system is due the
children of the country districts.
Whatever may be said of the advan-
tages of the city or of the country

individual, or upon the prosperity of
the state, 1t Is certainly true that the

ample which we mention. In one oi
the up-country districts about foul
years ago, social dance was given
in the school house at the close oi
the term, and two fiddlers employed
at four dollars each to furnish the
! music for the occasion. Orders for
warrants were drawn by the trus-
| tees, in favor of the. fddlers, to be
| paid out Of the public school fund
This was step in advance of the
| custom prevailing in more remote
times, for then the tea cher was ex-
pected to foot the bills for the dance
at the close of the term, and was con-
sidered stingy if he did not. In this
instance the orders for warrants
were presented to the county treas
urer direct, and she inquired what
they were for. Being informed that
it was for payment of the fiddlers'
bills, she raised the question as to
the propriety of teaching athletics
on this plan, and in the same district
the practice has been discontinued,
but we question whether the same
trustees would allow bill of eight
dollars for pencils or tablets. A
definite understanding of the par
ticular uses to which the school
buildings and school moneys may be
put, is doing much to put school
work on a footing that gives it
recognition.
Public Sentiment Is Important.
A healthy, wholesome public SEN
timent goes long way toward maxi
ing a good school, Having peoples
attention directed to evils that exist,
sets people to thinking, and out of
their study, comes a conclusion that

wrote up an instance of holding a
dance in school house, and having
lot of hoodlums there with liquor.
Then next day there we're empty
whisky bottles in evidence al! about
the house, and naturally the little
fellows who found them sampled the
spoonfuls that might be left in the
bottles, and gained ther first
acquaintance with something that
older fellows used in having a good
time, and must necessarily be all
right. Our comments on the matter

State Superintendent of Public In

The plans of this building can be OBJ

problem is not the building of a
