FOR THE CITY SCHOOLS
Superintendent HofY and Principal
Manthey Were Retained for Next
Years Schools.

A special meeting of the board of
education was held Tuesday evening
for the purpose of considering the
employment of the superintendent
and principal for the ensuing year.
The teachers committee recommend
ed that F. H. Hoff be retained for the
next year at a salary of $500 and
j. j. Manthey as principal at a salary
of $1,000 for the years work. The
report of the committee was accepted
and the two gentlemen were retained
in their respective places. The super
intendent and principal were elected
at this time in order that their as
s%lstance might become available in
the employment of the rest of the
teaching force in the schools.
President Litchfield reported the
conditions in the city schools as he
ing fine. The president has just com
pleted a tour of the schools and has
visited every room with the exception
of one in the course of the past two
weeks. He spoke of the good work
that is being done in the high school
department, of the loyalty that the
teachers have one for another and of
the head of the schools. He believed
that the schools were accomplishing
better work now than at any time in
their previous history.

worth of development. work done.
Then, the Bunce plan contemplates
thorough development of each prop
erty and no mill will be built before
sufficient ore of milling grade has
been found. There are eighteen mills
closed down in the Northern Hills
for lack Of ore,-the American plan.
Briefly, this is the Bunce plan. The
name of the company is the Black
Hills Development and Financial Cor
poration, a South Dakota organiza-
ton. The capital stock s 100000
shares, par value one dollar per
share. The stock is divided in this
way; 100000 shares for purchss-
ing properties-1,5OO,0O 900 shares to
be sold for cash at not less than par
for development purposes-5O0,O00
shares for building power plants, ETC.,
and 100000 shares for promotion ex-
penses.
Work will be commenced on five
mines at once and at least 100000
will be spent on each property in
systematic development work. AS
soon as one mine is developed suffi-
GENTLY to warrant the erection of a
mill, the corporation will erect a
plant that is best adapted to handle
the ore. The corporation will then or
ganize a sub-company for twice the
capital that has been required to put
this. mine on a paying basis, that is,
If $1,000,000 should be required to
develop the mine and build the mill,
the sub-company will be organized
for 100000 shares. The Parent Cor
~poration then receives half the 1000
900 shares and sells half, bringing
into its treasury $1,000,0O0 in cash,
which will be used again in equip
ping another mine with a mill, and
the Same sub-company plan will be
worked on the second property. This
Parent Corporation receives divi-
dends on half of the stock in all sub
companies, and gets back always the
full amount of money expended on
the equipping of the mine to be used
over and over again. The "chance"
of failure in the Bunce plan is prac-
tically eliminated, for instead of
only n mine to depend on there are
forty. The development work will be
carried along on the five properties
on a large scale, and on a less ex-
tensive scale at the start, on the rest
Of the forty.
Cut out this article and put it
where you car read it at another
time. Next week another article will
appear dealing with the different
mines taken over by the Bunce COM
pany. These include a number of
properties in which South Dakota
people have invested in years past.
Probably these stockholders have
forgotten all about their foolish"
investments. Look. up your old stock
certificates and find out in which part
of the Black Hills your property is
located.

In Athol for some time was the social
dance at the city hall last Saturday
evening. About forty couples were
present to trip the light fantastic.
There is no better endowment during
these long winter evenings for those
who delight in dancing than an
occasion of this knd-gliding over
the floor to the strains of a soft,
dreamy waltz. or joining In the
"Virginia Reel" Ernest Travers
and Mrs. Mark Burroughs furnished
the music, the former playing his
violin, the latter presiding at the
organ. Supper was served at the
Carl Skeel home and served as none
hut Mrs Skeel can serve. A great
deal of credit should be given to
Messrs. Rufus Green and Frank
