moters. The method of prospecting was beautiful in its simplicity and con vineing in it's results. A shallow hole was dug and a spadefui of sand re- moved from the bottom and placed in a bag, which was then numbered and tied. The holes were dug at ran dom wherever any of the investigating party wished. When all the bags that could be handled conveniently had been filled with samples the party went to a spring two or three miles distant where the sand was washed Nearly every sample taken was found to contain one or more gems.
 When the members of the syndicate in San Francisco received the reports of their investigating committee their anxiety to close the deal was over towering The price asked for the claims was a beggarly S600,000. It was raised without difficulty and every member of the syndicate felt that a mean advantage was being taken of the unsophistication of the poor pros pectors in closing the deal at a price below the proven value of the prop erty. A comRany was organized cap italized at s10.OOO coo. and every share offered to the public found a ready buyer.
 In the meantime a party connected with the United States Geological Sur vey had been working through that summer on the Wyoming plains and bad lands Rumors of the great dia- mond discovery in Arizona reached them from time to time, but were not credited until one of the party, Allen

lemon in the bill that was passed by the last legislation creating the new county. A number of them have held several meetings and have engaged the services of ex-Governor Kibbey to in yestigate the questions that have arisen and steps may be taken to pre- vent the election of the county of- ficers of the new county and to at tack the legality of the call as made by Governor Sloan.
 Ex-Governor Kibbey has been over in Graham county during the past week in consultation with the citi- zens in the lower part of the county and is at present making a thorough investigation of the bill as passed and the right of Governor Sloan to call the election.
 Governor Sloan was approached by several of the citizens of Graham county and asked as to the legality Of the call for election, and he replied that "it was up to them to test the legality that he was going to issue the call and they had a remedy in the courts by getting out injunction papers to prevent it."
 One of the provisions of the bill that is going to be binding on the remaining portion of Graham County Is that the taxes collected for the year 1909 shall go into the treasury of Graham county. but all delinquent taxes shall be divided between the ] ha4 fas .l,r in Graham county Shall be paid there while that delinquent within the bounds of the new county Greenlec shall go that treasury. It is now fear. ed by the citizens of Graham that the mining companies in Clifton and Morenci who pay the largest portion Of taxes paid in the present county of Graham will allow their taxes to go delinquent so that they can put the amount into the new county Urea sury. Should this be done it will be the cause of Graham county being un- able to pay the running expenses for this year and not allow them sufficient revenue to pay off the usual county warrants. his part of the dilemma has also been put up to Kibbey. Another matter which does not look | good to the citizens of Graham is the f fact that the bill provides for the new
 county to pay its due proportion Of the legal bonded indebtedness, when in reality Graham County has no bond ed indebtedness except that of the
 school districts, although the county is indebted to the Territory in the
 sum of s14e,000; the Territory having
 taken up the bonds of the county in
 that amount, charged the county there
 for on the picks of the Territory treasurer, and issued it's own bonds
 in payment of the indebtedness. Time

LOUISIANA LETTER
Continued from page y

ers in. Louisiana who are paid less
than fifty dollars q month and who
get less than a seven months term
each year.. Most of the schools of
Acadia parish, I mean the country
schools, have been in session now
about seven months and will con
tinue for several weeks longer, and
what is true of Acadia parish is
true of every parish in the State.
Let each one ask himself the ques-
ton, how many country. schools in
Edgefeld county are in sessions at
this time? I dare say that most of
them have been closed for at least
two or three weeks. Why "a the
rural schools of a state or states
west of the Mississippi run at least
seven and eight months in the year
and those ofsome ofour eastern states
have a hard time to exist four and
five? 1t is not that these people have
more money and are more able nor
is it the fault of any particular par
ty. The secret is this, the people
here hav'nt more money, but they
have more of that which is far bet
ter than silver and gold, and that's
a striving school spirit. When our
dear people in the rural districts be-
come thoroughly imbubed with the
school spirit, as these people of
Louisiana seem to be, we of Edge
field will pay our teachers more,
have longer terms for the schools
and have better schools in every
respect. Until we do this we shall
always be among the "tail-enders" in
this question.
In the way of parenthesis, let me
say that the high status of the
schools of Acardia parish is largely
due to the untiring and faithful eff
forts of her worthy superintendent
j. H. Lewis, formerly of Edgcfield
county.
1t is not that I desire, Mr.. Edi-
tor, to attract attention by a column
in your valuable paper. but if |
know my heart ii is that | want my
home people, especially of the rural
districts, to know something of
what is being done in the state of
Louisiana and in other states
in this part of the country in public
school work and thereby become
awakened to the realization of what
lies at their very Ioor steps, if they
will only allow the school spirit to
take mold and move them to ac-
ton.
To day is the day of opportunities
and why can't the people of Edge
field county throughout the rural dis
tricts throw around their sons and
daughters such environments in the
way of better schools that will ena-
able them 10 climb to hat point in
the educational world where they.
can look out on the world of golden
opportunities, see and take hold?
The day is demanding an educated
manhood and womanhood. Shall the
people of Edgefeld fail to meet this
demand of the times? To be an
swered. Respectfully,
p. H. Bussey.

LEASING SYSTEM BOOMS
POLAND CREEK CLAIMS

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Dec. 2.-Poland
Creek, in the vicinity of Turkey sta
tion, on the Bradshaw Mountain rail
road, is experiencing an era of pros
perity in silver mining through the
leasing system, the results creating
wide interest and general discussion.
All operators are said to be making
money and many claims are being
opened with good results.
Nellis & Cleator have at the depot
one car of ore that has been taken
out of the old Brooks mine, which
goes to the smelter for treatment.
The Silver Chord, which is owned
by ex-Sheriff Lowry, is under lease
and the output is said to be satisfac-
tory. One carload has been shipped
to the Needles smelter and in q few
DAYS another will be ready.
Two leasers are also at work on the
Thompson mine and are meeting with
results.
On an extension of the Peck Pete
Giroux and T. w. Jenkins are report
ed to be taking out a grade similar to
the bonanza ore of early days.
All of the mines are silver producers,
and while the veins are small their
heavy values give remuneratiVe re-
turns. The district is said to be a
veritable haven for 1essees, and with
out expection all are making money.
