N. D. University

The opening of the University School
of Mines sub-station at Hebron this
summer is attracting attention to the
work that this college, under the di-
rection of Prof e. ]. Babcock, has
been doing in developing the mineral
resources of the state. The interest
being taken in this work all over the
state calls for a brief account of the
work of this and it's sub-station at this
time.
Agreeably to the provisions of an
act of the first state legislature, ap-
proved March 81, 1890, the School of
Mines was established as a department
of the university for the purpose Of
giving instruction in chemistry metal
lurgy, mineralogy, geology, mining,
surveying, engineering, mathematics,
mechanics, drawing, milling and kim
dred branches.
Its Purpose.
To, provide for the college of mining
engineering the United States govern
ment granted 10000 acres of land. The
wisdom of this act is manifest in that
it makes provision for a technical ed
ucation in an industry which is, per-
haps, second only to that OF agricul-
ture in Importance in the building up
of a commonwealth. The rapid de-
velopment of our resources has re-
suited in a demand for the most skill
full and best trained specialists our
schools of mines can produce. Those
seeking the services of such young
men will not be compelled to go out
side our own state for them. Nor will
our young men who wish to fit them
selves as mining engineers. metallur-
gists. industrial chemists, etc, be
forced to go to eastern states, at much
greater expense, to secure an educa-
ton.
New Laws.
During the last two sessions of the
legislature two laws have been enacted
which will prove very helpful to the
college of mining engineering ana
which will also be of great benefit to
the state in helping to develop its min
eral and allied resources. The work OF
the college of mining engineering is
becoming we'll known for It's thorough

Mr.. McCaull, taken i'll in Chicago, and
while going through the slow stages of
convalescence, was seized with the
idea of showing boss who could win
out through sheer honesty--a man en-
dowed with all the primal strength and
virility of the other kind or boss, but
whose natural talent for rule should be
developed in an unexpected crisis. At
the same time, the realization struck
Mr. Wise that something more human
and domestic than mere party politics
must be the underlying theme If such
a character were to get across" the
footlights to the vast theatre going
public.
And thus was A Gentleman from
Mississippi conceived. Recovering, at
length, Mr.. Wise associated with him
Mr. Harrison Rhodes. the novelist; and
the two of them set to work on the
play. 1t was offered in June, 1908, to
William A. Mrady for production, and
accepted by him with the understand
ing that he would produce it, with
Mr.. Wise In the role of Senator Lang
don, about January 1, 1909. But while
managers may propose, points out Mr..
McCaull, conditions may dispose. The
senatorial session of 1908, as is well

George Broadhurst. one of the play
rights who had refuse1 to dramatize
The Boss for Mr., Wise, and with his
play called The Man OF the Hour,
which was eagerly snapped up by
William A. Brady and Joseph r. Gris-
mer and rushed onto the stage in
October. 1906. It's success was, as Is
well remembered. phenomenal When
asked why, Mr.. Brady replied:
Look at the columns Of press-work
done for it in the last two years In
the news columns Of the daily press"
Mr.. Wise reluctantly gave up his
dream of playing a modern political
boss, for he realized that the archtype
was footlighted in the character Of
big Dick Ho-rigan in the Man of the
Hour. He was soon thereafter. writes

The Grand Next Week.

The bill at the Grand for the week
commencing Monday, Aug. 16, will be
one of the strongest seen at this pop
ular amusement resort.
One of the pronounced features will
be presented by the Nat Nazarvo
Troupe, an organization which has
succeeded in winning an admirable po-
sition among the acrobats who have
astonished Americans by their origi-
nality, rapidity and dauntlessness,
There reputation has been won largely
by their harmonious blending of the
individual work Each performer is
said to be gifted with an exceptional
ability which has been developed to the
limit and fully competent to give a
sole act out of the ordinary.
Tom Mahoney, know from coast to
coast as President of the Hod Car

will initiate the feathered songsters.
One of the great features Of the bill
will be furnished by Helen Beresford

with her two clever people, Ulrich B.
Collins and Josephine Clairmont. The
play is one that wins the admiration
and enthusiasm of the audience, and

ness and practical character The ex-
cellent standing of this college may be
seen from the recognition given our
graduates by older institutions and by
positions which have been proffered
them. In the practical work In the
mining field the graduates have read
lily obtained excellent positions and
have performed their work most cred
itably. The rapid development of our
mineral resources has resulted in a
demand for skillful and well trained
men and the positions which the min
ing engineering graduates are being
called upon to fill are responsible and
remunerative ones in the various lines
of mining work in this state and
throughout the west
Experimental and Testing Department.
Beside the technical instruction in
the various courses offered i'm mining
engineering, an important part of the
work of the school of mines is in it's
experimental and testing department.
This department takes up all kinds
of practical Investigations of the min
eral resources of the state with a view
to proving, by actual tests, their
economic value as well as the best
methods for their utilization. These
Investigations require large amount
Of time as well as much equipment. A
great deal of such work has been done
by the college of mining engineering
on the practical utilization OF the Goals
and clays, building stones and other
mineral products of the state. In this
way the school of mines has been in
strumental in demonstrating, not only
to the citizens of the state, but also
to the people of other states, that there
are vast deposits of variety Of min
erals, the value of which has hitherto
been but little appreciated.
Products Open to Public instruction.
In the future it is hoped that much
more of this kind of work can be done,
since for this purpose a mining expert
mental and testing station has been
established by legislative act as part
of the college of mining engineering
and an appropriation has just been
made by the legislature for carrying
out the provisions of this act The
work provided fer by the act referred
to is summarized in the law as fol-
lows: In order to aid in the develop
ment of our mineral resources the
school of mines is directed ito provide
suitable means for experimentation

event turned Mr.. Brady's mind to the
new and fresh popular interest in the
dramatic possibilities Of senatorial
proceedings when two intense fac
tions meet III battle over question

tizan politics or party politics.

success In the very city where the
scene was laid. Such q success, Mr.
McCaull argues. is not as reasonable
as layman might think; for the In
habitants OF the city are the first to
scent false note in any attempt to
reproduce local atmosphere; and the
special atmosphere Of Washington had
for many years bafTIed the best OF
playrights. He points out that, OF all
the authors who have tried to footlight
the city and its activities, only one
succeeded before A Gentleman from
Mississippi was written--the late
Charles II. Hoyt, no admirably
caught q phrase OF life in the capital
when he staged his delightful farce Of
A Texas Steer.

OF Mr.. Wise Mr.. McCaull tells an
interesting tale. 1t seems that, as al
ready explained, 1t was Mr. Brady's
original plan to make the author actor
the star of the play. When 1t came
to getting 1t ready for the stage, Mr..
Wise himself, rebelled.

And Mr.. Wise's judgment in the
premises proved to be right; for the
success of the play was such that ii
was impossible to withdraw it from its
New York run in time to take up, on
April rs, contracted-for engagement
there twenty-five weeks right through
the summer, until Saturday, October

each. The incorporators. who each
subscribe for 250 shares of the
stock. are IL. NJ. j. H. and w L.

do not specify what ground is owned
by the company but gives them right
TO handle mining, agricultural, town
site and other lines of business. The
office of the company will be in the
Fulmer a. Ives building at East Ely.
In addition TO the above facts set
forth in the articles as filed, nothing
has been given out. 1t is under
stood, however, that the ground upon
which organization Is made comprises
part. If not all, of the old Dolly
Warden Co. holdings. Interest In this
ground on the part of the old COM
pany, so far as Is known, lapsed in
April, when a payment which was
due is understood not to have been
met.
Purchase of the property was re-
ported made by lFulmer & Ives in
February. Subsequently a sensa.
tional controversy arose as to the
right of the original owner of the
ground 10 make the sale and IL de
veloped that the ground was tied M
to the original Dolly Warden Co
until in April. Still later the grand

since revoked.
When the ground was first report
ed sold to Fulmer & Ives it was as
serted that an agreement went with

holders in the old Dolly Warden who
had bought shares in good faith
would be taken care Of This was
subsequently denied by Mr.. Austin,
