production was az cents per pound.
Isle Royale I'm the underground i'm
provement which has taken place dur

ating profits each month all the way
from $4,000 to $4,000. while the month
Of October showed profits at the rate
Of about 81 per share on the company's
100000 shares Of stock. The mine is
producing at the rate of over 5000, 900
pounds of copper per annum, although
of course ii will not be able to show
this output for the entire twelve
months of the current year When the
company issues it's annual report II
will be found that the 1911 production
was made at a cost, including develop

KAYE TALKS TO
SUPERINTENDENTS
PRESIDENT OF MARQUETTE NOR.
NAL GIVES INTERESTING ADJ
DRESS AT ROUND TABLE
MEETING.

The greater part of this mornings
session of the Copper Country Super
intendent's Round Table at Houghton
was taken up with an address by Pres
ident Kaye OF the Marquette Normal
College on the subject, scientific Sys-
TEN of Marking and Grading the Work
of Pupils" Mr.. Kaye explained that
this system is used with marked sue
cess at many of the larger educational
institutions Of the country among
them Columbia University, the Uni
versity of Missouri and the Northern
Michigan Normal at Marquette.
Mr.. Kaye spoke Of the requirements
for admission at the Marquette Nor
NAL. explaining the advantage of hav-
ing the students acquire certain cred
its before being admitted. He stated
that If these credits are not secured
during the high school course, they
should be secured at Marquette before
a teachers certificate is granted
Mr.. Kaye spoke of the Girls League
which has been organized among the
girl students at the normal school, the
purpose Of which is To meet incoming
students. show them about the school
and TO their rooms and make them
feel at home before taking up their
work. The work Of the league is so
carefully conducted that not a single
complaint was made by the proprietors
of the boarding houses at which the
girls stay. Of questionable conduct on
the part Of the students last year This
work is being continued this year, and
i'm the estimation of Mr.. Kaye contrib
utes encouragingly to the spirit Of
unity. Five new instructors were add
ed to the faculty of the normal this
year.
At the conclusion of President Hayes
address, the superintendent rendered
him a vote of thanks for his presence
at the meeting and his helpful sugges-
tons.
The question Of holidays. especially
the Friday following Thanksgiving
was considered at some length, but as
there was no unity of opinion, no def
mite action was taken.

Wyandot.

The assessment called by the direc-
tors of the Wyandot Is for the purpose
of continuing the exploration of the
property by means of the crosscut
from the 700-foot level of the shaft and
diamond drilling Several promising
veins have been cut i'm driving this
crosscut, which is going across the for
nation southeasterly, and it is the in
tention of the management to drift on
these veins Further exploration Of
Section 16 will also be made.
Superintendent Van Orden draws the
following conclusions;
That the crosscut is in a very inter-
esting territory, geologically, and may
at any time cut a lode Of CONNER
cial value.
That lodes i'm Section 16 are worthy
of further development, especially the
lode cut in hole %.
That further drifting should be done
on some of the lodes encountered in
our long crosscut, especially on lode
No S.
That ii would be most desirable to
open lodes Nos. and at lower levels,
should further drifting upon them war
rant. (This could best be done by
sinking a winze in the lode i'm one of
the drifts, so as to sink the shaft and
again crosscut to the lodes would
mean a large outlay of money and
time)
That something should be done in
the way of exploring the unproven
ground lying i'm Section 16. particularly
that portion lying between the Winona
lode and hole %, which is 2OOo feet,
and that portion lying between the Wi
mona lode and hole %, which is 200O
feet, and that portion lying between
No. II drill hole) and the northern
boundary of our property. which is a
distance of 1900 feet. This work can
be done by diamond drilling or cross
cutting.
That the fact that we can still drive
our present crosscut an additional 1900
feet should not be lost sight Of espe-
cially when we are exploring practical
~ unproven ground.

Woman on Civic Reform

Editor News One day at club meet ing I was asked to explain Civic Reform; Not having any notes at hand and not yet become an extempore speaker, l had to decline the honor so graciously eX- tended and so fattering to me beside, and then too I had to refuse because l hadn't my lantern slides with me. l always illustrate my lectures on Civic Reform with lantern slides.
 What I know of Civic Reform must be told in my own words. Those who prefer the dictionary explanation may turn to the New Webster's International when under the column marked civ they can move the finger down till 1t comes to the word civic and that means "that part of political science that deals with the rights and privileges of citizenship ;'' and the turn to cit and you will find that to mean, when you come to the word citizen, "an inhabitant of a oity or town esp, one who enjoys it's freedom and privileges" and-Other things: little l farther on it says "one so distinguished | from foreigners or one not entitled to its franchises - women then must be l foreigners.
 Now turn to ref and then you soon get to reform where among lot of detini- tions one finds this ''the removal or cor rection of abuses or wrongs; to change from worse to better" either indivld uals or governments, but am tired of using dictionary language. It is not racy enough to suit me, (see definition of racY on page 116l of the new interna- 1 tional)
