me space in the dear old CHRoNI-
Gle will give you few lines from
the Panhandle. [ have been in
this country ten months and think
tits a fine place. While of course
we have some disadvantages here,
we sometimes have sand storms,
which are disagreeable, but they
do not last such a great while.
We live at distance of twenty
miles from the railroad, and of
course you people in old Benton
County would, l suppose, call that
a great disadvantage. 1t requires
two days and one night to make
the round trip to town, but we are
thinking that we will have a rail-
road within ten miles of us in the
near future. This is very desira-
BILE, for it is quite task to haul
two or three thousand bushels of
corn such a distance. We have
made about three thousand bush
els of corn, and we're not through
gathering when the new year dawn
ed upon us.
Well, [ would like to ask how
many of my schoolmates remem-
Der me. | often think of the many
happy hours I have spent in dear
old Camden, also the hard hours of
study, nor can | ever forget our
kind teachers. Oh, yes, school
mates, how many of you did Santa
Claus call on this Christmas? I
am glad to say was not forgotten
and | had nice time during the
Christmas holidays.
/ received a post card from my
room mate, and though a little
late for Christmas, l appreciated
livery much. Now just word or
so to my old friends:
To the Farmland e country
My friend, why not go?
Where the winters are mild
And free from deep snow;
Where the cool breeze of
Summer, refreshing and grand,
Fans the brow of the maid
And the laboring man.
Where the water is as
Pure as the drops that lie
And sparkle in sunlight
! Beneath the clear sky.
/ Is found in abundance
And thanks to Eaan's skf1
Is pumped to the earth
BY the clever wind mill.
| Where the country lies level
And rich, fertile and good;
That the rainfall is ample
Is we'll understood;
Where the buffalo grass,
Once the friend of the beast,
Is yielding its place
To the grain of the East.
Where corn, rye and barley,
Milo maze, Kaffir oats and whes
And fruits of the orchard
The world can not beat; !
Where products of gardens
And melons compare
With those on exhibit
At grand country fair.
Where land is now cheap
But will not so remain,
AS hundreds are coming
On homeseekers' trains;
4 They are buying for homess ]
For comfort and health.

Secure a good thing;

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
J Editor THE CHRONICLE:

statement you made in your edi-
torial columns last week concern
ing the public school fund and a
compulsory school law, by a neigh
Dor, who takes the position that
Compulsory school laws are in
conflict with the American idea of
liberty, and should not be toler-
ated; that the General Assembly
might just as well require all the
children to be red-headed."
If you will kindly grant me the
space | will venture to take issue
with him on this statement. The
only thing good [ can find to say
about the statement in question is
that it is entirely original. The
idea that compulsory education is
in conflict with the American idea
of liberty is laughably absurd.
Liberty is not license to do as
one pleases. 1t might, if such
were the case, be claimed that the
laws forbidding vagrancy, theft,
arson and murder are in conflict
with American ideas of liberty.
In civil society the absolute free
dom of each individual is impos-
sible. The rights of all must be
safe-guarded. The weak must be
protected, the wicked must be re-
strained. Each man must obey
the laws which are necessary to
the we'll being of society and OF
the State.
The aim of education, particu-
larl,r of public school education, is
to make good citizens. Good cit
liens do more toward the progress
and development of community,
State or nation than manufactures,
great industries or material wealth.
Ignorance is menace to society,
a clog to the wheels of progress, a
dead weight holding back the peo-
pie. The county, State or nation
whose inhabitants are uneducated
will never attain to the eminence
of the one where education and
culture flourish.
The parent or guardian who
keeps child out of school is him.
self in nine cases out of ten either
uneducated or poorly educated,
and is, therefore, not fit judge OF
what is best for the child.
The rights of the child are not
in any way interfered with by
compulsory education law. For
every one will readily admit that
the right to an education is one of
the most sacred rights of child
hood. The only person whose
"rights" or "liberty" can in any
way be threatened by such a law
is the parent or guardian. And
this only upon the supposition
that a man can do what he pleases
with his own child. This suppo.
sition thoughtful, intelligent peo.
pie will at once deny. The theory
of government denies it.
The parent who is wilfully cruel
to his child is restrained and pun
ished. The child of vicious OF
criminal parents is taken from
them and put in a reformatory OF
industrial school, where he is Civ.
en- chance to rise above the Level
of those parents. The parent who
would force his children of tender
years to do hard labor, in field
mine, mill or factory, is more and
m ore being restrained by humane
and sensible laws.
Just 30, the parent or guardian
who, through ignorance, careless
ness, or narrow and selfish motives
deprives his child of an education
should find himself called upon to
reckon with the majesty of the law
In other words, he should be com.

HOMESTEAD ORE CONTINUES
TO BE OF HIGH GRADE

T~hirty-five men are now on the pay
roll of the Homestead at S~earchlight,
and of this number more are engaged
in doing development than in break
ing down ore.
The new ore to the east of the fault
continues to produce the best ore in the
mine. No great inroads have been
made into it for the reason that a large
part of the time has been spent in
trimming up, building a chute and
otherwise preparing to handle the ore.
But the drifts have been extended in
both directions some 20 feet and an
uprais started.

was on the first of the month appointed
superintendent. Mr.. Morrison has

1t begins to look as if important
changes are pending on the Comstock
lode. Gradually the mechanical feat
ures and mining operations on the lode
are being adjusted in such fashion as
to indicate that mining is likely to be-
gin on a much different scale from
what has heretofore prevailed.
Franklin Leonard, Jr., of the Com
stock Tunnel company, who has just
made a prolonged visit to the lode, is
of the opinion hat the few changes
that have recently been made among
the management of the mines are the
result of a conference among share
holders looking toward the view of Sc
curing cooperation among all the prop.

NEW MILLS ARE PLANNED
FOR GOLD CIRCLE MINES

G. G.. Rothschild, president and gen
eral manager of the Rex Gold Mining
company's properties, is getting out
specifications and estimates for a fifty
ton cyaniding. plant with which he ex-
poets to equip the property during the
summer. He states that three shifts
are being employed at the Rex drifting
ON the 100-foot level from the shaft.
There is now about $4,000 tons of SIS
ore blocked out and this amount he
expects to double before the new mill
is ready to go into commission.
The German custom mill, Mr.. Rochs-
child states, is now running at its ca
pacity of thirty tons of ore a day, with
leasers on the Esmeralda as the chief
patrons at the present time. About
$4,000 worth of bullion has been sent
out during the past four weeks and this
output is going to help out materially
the men who have been leasing for the
past eighteen months with no chance
of getting any money back.
G.. w. Hartley of Oakland, CAL, IS
now going into camp with a new pro-
cess mill, known as the Tadmore, ana
he expects soon to be ready to handle
twenty-five tons of lease or custom
ore daily in that plant. That will far
Their relieve the situation as other
miners can be provided with a market
for the ore they have been piling up.
Several properties are working and
Mr.. Rothschild estimates that not less
than 100 miners are now working for
days pay, these in addition to the men
who are working leases on personal ac-
CUNT. The camp, he says, is fast de-
veloping into a permanent one, most
of the ores being of a milling grade
and plentiful.

RICH SHIPMINTS GOING
OUT FROM SEVEN TR0UGHS

With a carload of ore here that VIII
net between $4,000 and $4,000, and
with another carload being made ready
the management of the Seven Troughs
Mining company is feeling pretty gooi
over the reports that are beng maize
bv superintendent C.. III. Ellithorpe dur
ing his presence in this city, says the
Salt Lake Herald. The annual meet
inc of the company will be held in this
city On Friday next, the 18th, when
complete reports ON the physical condi-
ton of the mines and the financial
condition of the company will be made.
From the manner in which the recent
strike in the Florence Leasing COM
pany's ground on the Seven Troughs
property is opening up 1t looks as
though the parent company was going
to realize a heavy revenue from that
source. The Florence lease is now
controlled by the crowd that recently
built the large custom mill in the dis
~trict, and all the milling rock-there Is
eight feet of 500 material being opened
up-will go to that plant for reduction.
Some of the ore in this strike, quite a
good portion of it, is worth $4,000 to
S., 1000 a ton. Silver sulphufc5s AMI
streaks of ruby silver, which almost
merge into the native, as well as flank
ing streaks of pure gold, make the ore
the finest looking stuff that ever came
out of the camp. Chunks of it are on
display in President r. j. Evans Of
fees, and they are certainly worth look
ing at.
Those who know declare that the ore
is identical in character with the aigli
grade taken out of the Tonopah ON
pany's bonanza in the early days, an
the positive assertion is made that tha
Seven Troughs company's mine is now
in line to make an even greater bonanza
mine than the original Tonopah mine
has proven to be. I'll is said the com.
pany is opening and mining from the
same ledge on it's W account ard
that some of the fine ore now being
marketed here is coming from TIC
workings in that portion of the mine.

Mr.. Leonard seemed unwilling to

to say that he thought it would require
some months of actual work to deter
mine results. He also said there were
likely to be some more assessment
upon the shares of the several mines,
which would be necessary to meet the
expense incurred by the recent fire in

AUSTIN MINES PRODUCING
HIGH-GRADE GOLD ORE
(Special Correspondence.)

Austin, New, June 13.-Tom Colvan
& Company are demonstrating that
there is high-grade ore in the heart of
the Austin mines. Colvan, who is
has recently come to Austin from Reno.
He and associates took a lease on the
Roosevelt claim and have a shaft down
100 feet not more than a block from
the International Hotel. A lead has
been followed which assays $40 to $3.50
per ton, with every indication that
the ruby silver that made Austin fam
Gus years ago will come in in quantity
with further depth. The leasing COM
pany is preparing to sink to great
depth and will thoroughly open up this

The Austin Manhattan Company is
pushing the work of cutting the big sta
ton at the junction of the tunnel with
the Frost shaft. The excavation neces-
sary will be completed by the time of
the arrival of the machinery. Follow
ing the installation of this, Lander Hill
will be opened at depth and before the
end of the year there is no doubt that
the country will be startled by the dis
closure of the rich ore that has lain
so long undisturbed near the old town
of Austin.

NEW MILL AT INLAY MINE
NEARLY READY FOR WORK

The mill at the Inlay mine near
Humboldt House, Nevada, will go into
commission about July l.. 1t has a
capacity of so ions daily and the Gen
eral Engineering company, which is
erecting the plant, declares that it will
be the first and most perfect mill of
it's size in this western country. Su-
per%intendent J.. II. Turner reports that
the building is practically completed,
the mortar blocks are in and the engine
is on it's foundation. Most of the shaft
ing is set and the other machinery is
being speedily placed. The Inlay mill
will be lighted by electricity. 1t has
three ooh. p. boilers.
The mine is equipped with a fine
hoist and compressor, a sufficient sup
ply of water and in fact everything
required to do good work. The ore
bodies are opening up better and bet
ter all the time and Mr.. Turner writes
that from a new strike on the incline
level he has obtained the finest gold
paintings he has ever found in that
country. The $50 level is highly min
eralized quartz and is now only forty
feet from the big ore shoot on the
upper levels. The drift south on the
$50 level is in splendid quality of
shipping ore.
Superintendent Turner declares that
he will have no difficulty in supplying
the mill with fifty tons of good ore
per day for an indefinite period aud
that he will soon have news for the
stockholders hat will cause rejoicing.

NEVADA HILLS MAY BE
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

Salt Lake, June lin a statement
made to the press, Secretary w. ID.
Clark, of the Nevada Hills Mining com
pany, explained the deal which has
been pending between the owners of
control and George Wingfeld of Gold
field, Nevada. The statement is self
explanatory, and here follows:
"The option held by Mr.. Wingfeld
on the control of the Nevada Hills
Mining company was not exercised by
him. In the place of his acceptance of
the control, Mr.. Wingield submitted
a counter proposition to the Nevada
Hills company which, in some respects,
was more favorable to the company
than the terms Of the option itself. This
counter proposition involved a plan
of consolidation with other properties
in the Fairview camp, and in which Mr..
Wingfeld and associates bound them
selves to equip the holding company
with the sum of $250,0OO for develop
ment purposes. The officials of the
Nevada Hills company did not accept
this counter proposition, and that is
exactly where the matter now stands.
"We felt that the Wingfield prop
critics were depending in a large meas
ure on the Nevada Hills group, and We
appreciated the fact that the present
company could put the Nevada Hills
company. The Nevada Hills directors
have held a meeting, at which it was

decided to begin an energetic campaign
of development work Immediately.
"Our present hosting machinery
is not powerful enough to allow us to
do the extensive amount of work at
depth hat has been mapped out, so
we will at once install heavy hosting
equipment, a compressor and powerful
drills. We feel that the mine is worthy
of deep development, and it is only fair
to mention that the forfeiture of the OPP
ton was occasioned not by reason of
the fact that the expert, examination
by Mr.. Wingfield's engineers was dis
appointing in the results gained. In
fact, their examination showed more
ore in sight than we had expected or
they had expected, and more than We
had expressed to them.

the 400-foot level, but owing to the
lack of strong enough equipment, nc
development work has been done that

that there is quite a lot of ore running

pany has ample funds on hand with
which to proceed on this extensive de-
velopment campaign, and no time will
be lost in getting the property in shape
for deep work.

company were in attendance at the
meeting mentioned by Mr.. Clark, and
