Kind Editors and Readers:
|, as one of the members of the Ma
rion County school board, would love
to present myself and my position in
regard to some matters concerning the
school business in Marion county, and
kindly ask permission to do SC
through the News, as l am conversant
of the fact that it is read by more
people in Marion county than either
of the other county papers, especially
in the second school district that l
represent. y,
In the first place, / want to say
that l am, first, last and all the time,
very much interested in the matters
of education and l am fully in accord
with everything that tends to promote
education, believing education to be
the best means that we have to uplift
and better conditions of our land and
country. Kind reader, just stop right
here and think what the results have
been, what they are now and what
they always will be to turn boy or
girl out on the cold mercies of this
world without any sort of an educa-
tion. OF course you will find some ex-
ceptions. but rs a rule they certain
ly prove to be a menace to our
country. Now, you bring a boy or
girl up in the way it should be
brought up and he or she will prove a
blessing, not only at home but to their
surroundings. Then, say, why not
| with every other individual of our
land be in favor of these promotions.
say that every other honest, sober,
thinking man or woman will readily
concede this fact.
Now, dear readers, under these pre-
liminaries, l want to say before you
censure this county school board for
passing those resolutions concerning
the issuing the ''time warrants"
which they did on July 81, stop and
think of these things. We are all a
body of law-abiding men, and as a
body who is over anxious for the bet
terment of their constituents. we look
ed aroundsaRd found no other earthly
remedy. Wewere defeated by our last
county court from doing the very
thing that would or could have avert
ed our action, but leaving us without
any other means, we were compiled to
issue these time warrants or just let
our school matter "drag along" just
as they have been for years. 1t was
the great interest that we had in the
bringing about these better conditions
that we did this. We know that there
will be "kickers' galore, and, no
doubt, those who pay the least taxes,
and needed the improvements the most
will do the ''big kicking "

WISHES TO EXPLAIN

We are now in shape to build OuI
much needed school building, and Gov
or and repair houses which are need
ing it so badly.
When this proposition was suggest
ed, looked around over the second
school district and saw that there was
badly needed a good, safe, comfortable
house at Sulphur Springs, one in the
vicinity of Caroline Chapel and one
needing covering at Victoria, besides
other repairs which are absolutely
necessary. Why should l not be in
favor of the move. did it on my
part not for self interest but as ] saw
it, for the sole purpose of beneftting
my constituents, those that have in
trusted me with their business to look
after all school matters, aud now 1
hope before they pass sentence, or ex-
press judgement ''pro' or ICON" they
will wait to see the results,
may be wrong, can be wrong,
but am going to wait for results be-
fore take on any remorse of con-
science.
veritably believe that the action l
took in the matter is, and will prove
to be the very best thing that could
have been done under present circum-
stances.
Patrons, of the second school dis
trict, look over the county and see if
other sections of the county are not
far ahead of US in nearly every re-
spect. Look at the commodious build
ings all over the rest of the county.
Why have we not the same right to
the comforts and conveniences as any
people in the county. I say we have
and say am going to fight and con-
tend for them until get them. Go
into the Whitwell schools, go to Sc
quatcbie, go to Jasper, South Pitts
burg, and, in fact, to nearly every
other settlement in tie county and see
what they are enjoying, then come
home and visit our woin out and al
most uelapidated house which we have
to force our children into, and you
won't wonder why l voted for the
time warrant proposition. We may
not get all we want and need, but we
will have our part in due time.
SO with the above preamble | shall
leave my case in the hands of my con-
stituents. Judge me to be friend to
the needing ones of our district,
which are the children who are fore
ed to go to school, and desiring to
have them comfortably situated when
they get there. am,
Yours very truly,

DUNLAP, Tenn, Aug a.-The
mines at Dunlap closed down this
week for lack of orders. Since the
furnaces in Chattanooga, which these
mines furnished with coke, went out
of blast every effort possible has been
made to keep the mines running but
after struggle of several weeks, the

Operations of the Bra-
 den Copper Company.

According to Stephen Burch, vice president of the Braden Copper Co.,, who has lately returned from a visit to the property in Chile, the company is now producing copper at the rate of 20,000,00 lbs. annually. There are 1000 men employed. All the power used in the mining and milling opera tions is developed by use of the Cacha- poal river and the company owns one of the best power sites and plants in Chile. Development work on the Teniente and Fortuna ore bodies is being carried on systematically and increased ore reserves are being de- velOped rapidly and will show a very large increase in the near future. Only ore in excess of ? per cent is taken into consideration, although it has been found that ore as low as l-2 per cent can be treated successfully. Operations at the new mill and the old mill are being carried on with the shines being treated with mineral sep aration process. A crushing plant for fine grinding is now being installed and upon it's completion 5000 tons of ore per day will be treated. It is also planned to smelt the concentrates on the property and shelter for this purpose is now nearing completion.- Globe Record.

Tired-out, weak, nervous men and women would feel ambitious, ener- getic, full of life and always have a good appetite, if they would do the sensible thing for health-take Elec- tric Bitters.

Americans to Pay Sonora Tax.

A Nogales dispatch says:-Since the repudiation of the Huerta government by Sonora and her consequent exercise of the functions of the federal govern ment, a very live question among American and other foreigners own ing property in Sonora, has been whether to pay or not to pay the taxes heretofore levied and collected by the federal government and now demand ed by the state of Sonora. Naturally and properly many have appealed to the local American consulate for ad- vice. Vice Consul Thomas D. Bow man has advised all such to pay the taxes as required by the de facto, but has suggested that such payment be made under protest and that such pro. test be made matter of record so far as possible. Mir. Bowman then refer red the matter in detail to the state department asking for instructions, and in reply has been sustained in each point.
 Washington, also gives assurance that they will sustain American citi. zens, paying such taxes under such conditions, in their contention that such payment shall be regarded as completely relieving them from fur. ther obligation in the matter. Such representation has also been made of

To Mill One Per Cent Ore.

An East Ely, Nevada, dispatch says :: The Nevada Consolidated company is arranging to treat l6,000,0 ,00) tons of ore that will average only per cent copper.
 This marks new era in mining es- pecially so in the porphyries, which was first called to the attention of the mining fraternity about 10 years ago by Colonel Jackling, who presented the Utah Copper to the Guggenheims for consideration. At that time per cent was figured upon as being com mercial ore and anything less than that was considered waste. However, at the present time there are several of the large porphyries treating large topnages which will only average l5 per cent and last year Nevada Consol- dated demonstrated that they could handle S,l of per cent. making copper at cost of 10 cents pound.
 They handled q large amount of this STduc tudl lutN were luJeuuluS UO dump on the waste dump, as it was not considered commercial; but in or der to make a test, as this ore had to be removed from the pit at this time in order to facilitate the handling of other ore. It was decided to find out Just what the cost would be on ores of this grade.
 Separate costs were kept and the company was more than surprised at the results, and at the same time mak- ing record on porphyry ores. The company now proposes to treat sixteen million tons, which at one time was considered waste and now is determ- ined to be commercial ore. This really is just so much extra ore found as it was not taken into consideration by the engineers who figured on the or. iginal tonnage some seven years ago. It is quite probable that thls sixteen million tons of ore will be handled at cost of about cents pound.

5000 Ounce Silver Ore.

The old Silver Belt vein is again to the front. In the first north extension of that famous old mine, ore has been struck which is fully as good as any ore of the old days when the Silver Belt was regular producer. The ore occurs in the 200 foot level of the mine. which IS the property of the Humboldt Consolidated Mines Company, Ben Rybon, superintendent.
 About week ago, in driving the level, fine ore body was encountered. which widened until at last report it was four feet in width. The ore is of two distinct grades-about l2 feet of ore averaging 70 ounces in silver and also carrying considerable lead; also streak eight inches In width which runs up into the pictures. Assays show that this streak runs from 2,000 to 5000 ounces per ton. Stuff cient work has been done to indicate that the new strike is of considerable importance. The rich strike is very regular and ap- pears to be of permanent nature.
 For several months past small force of men have been working the property, and several shipments of ore running from 300 to 6)0 ounces per ton have been made, but nothing so rich as the strike of week ago had ever before been found in the present work ings. Indeed, it is stated by miners familiar with the old Silver Belt that it never had more attractive show ing than is at present in evidence in the property of the Humboldt Con- solidated. A few of the stockholders of the company are residents of this city.-Prsscott Courier.
