claims are Senator R. A. Hutchinson, G.
n Hubbell and T. b. Tollefson, all Of
Spokane, as trustees for a corporation
to be formed for further developing and
operating the properties. The deal is
said to involve about 800, 900. The con-
centrating plant at Metaline, erected by
the Spokane Lead Mines Co., at cost
of $27 600, was included in this deal. The
concentration was never operated. having
proved faulty in some particular, but
experts who have gone over the plant
state that it can be made to work satis-
factorily at little cost.
At the Larson Lead Co.'s property,
one mile north of Metaline Falls. suffi.
Gent ore has been blocked out to keep a
mill running for five years, and this has
warranted the decision to lnstall lOOu-
ton concentration on the property. De-

ton and blocking out Of new bodies. The
property is controlled by Lewis P. Lar

New Teachers Law

For some time the school boards in
various counties in the state have had
difficulty in keeping teachers for the en-
tire term. After signing contracts and
teaching q few weeks or only a portion
of the term, many would resign On few
days notice. leaving the school in the
hands of substitutes. At times consid-
cradle difiulty has been experienced in
securing suitable instructors in the mid
die Of the term.
This subject has been problem the
local board has been struggling with,
more especially during the present term,
as nearly half the teachers have resigned
since school opened to accept other posi-
tons.
As possible improvement OF the pres.
ont conditions, and in the hope that
more permanent and efficient standard
can be maintained, bill has been draft
ed by Judge Lusher and forwarded to
Representative Appleman. With some
changes it may be possible that it will
be introduced at this session of the leg
islature. The proposed bill is as follows:
