recent ally. Finally, with Russia
showing no signs of yielding,
France, Austria and Great Britain
entered into secret treaty of
defence, the purpose of which was
to force Russia to terms. The
allies probably would thus have
fought among themselves at that
time, just as the allies did after
the Balkan war a few years ago,
had not Napoleon appeared on
the scene of action as their
common enemy again.
THE outcome Of the bicker-
ings in the congress resulted in
Austria and Prussia retaining
most of their Polish dominions,
with the remainder going to
Russia under an agreement that
it should be separate kingdom,
ruled by the czar Of Russia, ac-
cording to its own constitution.
| Switzerland was given a constitu-
ton; Italy retained Lombardy
and Venetia and Holland kept
Belgium, Luxembourg and Linn
burg and Sweden, losing Finland
to Russia, secured Norway as
compensation.
England made a proposal
that the slave trade of Europe
should be abolished, which re-
suited in a declaration of aboli.
ton, leaving each country free
to fix its own date Of abolition.
1T was the purpose OF the
English representatives to secure
a solemn guarantee from the
members of the congress to
make collective war or disturb
the agreement Of partition. This
plan partook something of the
of the nature OF an internationa
court, such as is to-day recon-
mended by many peace advocates
But the return Of Napoleon forced
the adjournment of congress al
most before it had parceled out
, the territory at issue. anc
wholly before it could take vi
and adjust those matters which
{ might have more fully made for
, permanent peace"

Of savagry and Of civilization, the
masculine mind has sought to cir
cumscribe the field Of activities OF
the feminine. 1t is only during the
relatively few years Of the immed-
late past that his efforts have been
proven futile. The mind Of woman
is capable OF meeting any condi-
ton and to confront any emer-
gency, though suddenly thrust
upon it.
Mans desire to suppress wo-
mans parallel activities led him to
believe that she had a limited in
telligence, and that worn and
much-abused idea has come down
through the centuries. The wish
was father of the thought, and the
thought grew and thrived under
the frequent narcotics that man
administered to himself.
1t is not an accident that wo-
mans invasion Of the business
world has been followed imme-
diately by her demand for the bal
lot. The one was the natural
sequence Of the other. Having
made the discovery land having
also at least partly convinced
struggling NAM that she was his
equal, even in his chosen fields, she
proceeds to demand the rewards Of
her discovery. The paradox Of
the whole thing is that she tells
man that she is demanding the
ballot for his own good.
We do not believe that many Of
the wonderful reforms promised
so glowingly by some suffrage
speakers and writer's will follow
Immediately upon the granting Of
the ballot to women, but we do be-
lieve that the new-found energy Of
woman will not exhaust itself in
securing the ballot, but will be 9
leavening force in the moral and
political future of the world.

Obituary.

On May 8, 1915, the death an
gel came and summoned our dear
sister, Alice Grey Curd, to the
celestial city, that is not made
with hands. She had been sick
for many months, but had borne
her Affections without murmur-
ing, as BELTS a soldier of Christ.
She was born October II, 1860, in
Weakley county, Tennessee. She
protested faith in Christ in early
life and joined the Methodist
church and always lived a devoted
christian.
Funeral services were conduct
ed by her pastor, Rev. Hassell, at
the Methodist church in Murray,
KY.
She lett husband, TWO children
an aged mother, two sisters and
three brothers to mourn her death.
Weep not, dear loved ones, for
she is now sweetly resting in the
arms of Jesus. Our loss is her
eternal gain and we should all
strive to meet her in that great
beyond, where partings are no
more, but where we shall live with
our blessed Savior in glory forev-
ermore.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God, in his wisdom, has recalled
The boon his love had given,
And though the body moulders here,
The soul is safe in heaven.
HER SISTER.

100 YEARS AGO.

while the spring campaign in
Europe's great war is opening
up" says a statement issued by
the national geographic society,
and the question is pending as
to whether or not the coming
summer will end hostilities as
those of Napoleonic wars were
ended in the year of which this is
centennial, it is interesting to go
back a hundred years for a
glimpse of the process by which
the map OF the continent was re-
made at that time.
In March, 1914, Great Britain,
Austria, Russia and Prussia en-
tered into a treaty binding them
to stand together until peace was
concluded. A little less than
three months later France, with
Napoleon beaten, entered toto q
secret agreement with thest
powers giving them the DISPOSE
ton of all countries which the
Little Corporal's" fall had liberat
ed from French control.
THE allies decided to hold {
congress at Vienna for the dis
tribution of the spoils Of the war
As soon as they met there Great
Britain, Austria, Russia anC
Prussia decided that they would
first settle all controversies them
selves, and then call in France
and Spain to ratify what they hat
done. France was represented b!
Talleyrand, and he declared tina
France would never give its as
sent to such course Of proce
dure, Sweden and Portugal wer
finally added as members of tn
congress, and it was not lonI
until bones Of contention werO
thrown into the arena Of debat
upon which the four allies coulc
reach no agreement among them
selves. One of these was tn
question of the disposition 0
Saxony and Poland. Russia in
sisted that she should have tn
whole of Poland as the price 0
its contribution to war. England
through its leading representa-
! tive, Lord Castlereagh, frml!
opposed to pretensions of Alex
ander.
The diplomatic war continued
for number OF months witt
England standing by France, be
late enemy, against Russia, be-

MEETING OF THE
SCHOOL BOARD.

The school board met las
Tuesday night and filled the
only remaining vacancy in the
teaching corps Of the Dresden
schools, by the selection Of Miss
Mary Mayo as a teacher for next
year. Miss Mayo is the daughter
of W. B. Mayo, OF this city. She
is eminently qualified for this
position, having had two years
college work at Tennessee college,
of Murfreesboro. She has had a
years experience as teacher in
the Greenfield public school. She
leaves at once for Nashville, to
take certain courses in the sum-
mer school Of the Peabody college
for teachers, preparatory to TAX
ing up her work here next fall.
This completes the faculty for
the Dresden school. 1t is an
nounced by the board that the
following will be the teachers for
the next year. W. |. Moore,
principal, Mrs. Moore, Miss Han.
cock, Miss Gladys House and
Miss Mary Mayo.
The board at this session also
selected the teacher for the color
ed school at Dresden. They
chose for this place Professor
Green, of Paris, who has beer
teaching the colored school a
Trezevant for the last ten years
1t is said that he is a very
efficient teacher.
The board has under considera
ton plans for the enlargement
of the present school building TO-
white children. 1t has become
necessary to adopt some plan tt
relieve the congestion in tn
school work. The rooms as the!
are now, are not sufficient to NEE
the needs of the large humble
of pupils who attend the school
Two methods for the presen
situation have been suggested; tn
one to add another room on tn
southeast corner Of the presen
building, the other to cut in tw
the two long room on the north ant
south sides of the building, thu
making small rooms to be useC
for class-rooms only, while tn
children all sit upstairs in tn
chapel.
We think the latter plan pre-
ferable as being more economical
and involving less expense. On
teacher can easily control all tn
children in the big chapel ant
teach her classes at the sam
time and in the same room. TIL
editor has, himself, taught in
school where this method wa
carried out and every pupil So
in one big room under the cor
troll of the principal, who ais
taught his classes in this room
There can be no objection to th
practicability of this plan, and "
hope to see it adopted.

Boy Scout Camp.

AS announced in last weeks
Enterprise, the Dresden boy scouts
went on last Tuesday to Brock s
spring, south Of Sharon. Ye editor,
pro tenn, being assistant scout
master, went along to look after
the boys. He found, however, that
they we're fully capable Of looking
after themselves-and him, too.
They returned Friday afternoon.
The seven small tents were
pitched in a circle, pair Of boys
to each tent. Each pair did their
own cooking in a fireplace Of
their own construction. 1t is
needless to say that the old
stand-bys, ham, eggs, bacon and
potatoes were frequently called
into requisition, and that the boys
ate more Of it in this short time
than they had eaten in several
weeks at home. 1t is one OF the
requirements Of good scout that
he be able to cook for himself
when out in the open.
No hunting was done, as guns
are not allowed on a scout camp
The boys fshed little without
very much success. The days
were spent in swimming, explor
ing, and general scout work
Several scouts from Sharon were
welcome visitors, as was, also
Brother McLemore, the scout
commissioner at Sharon,
Pleasant as were the days spent
in active work, the boys got
even more pleasure out of the
nights. Each night, after, supper
they gathered great quantities O
wood and made a big campfire
in the center of the circle Of tents
They passed the time away witt
songs, stories and Jokes. Tit
Vaudeville performances Of Viii
liam Fuller and Ralph Lewis re
ceived well-deserved applause
The storytelling ability Of tn
assistant scoutmaster was taxeC
to the limit. THE Idylls Of tn
King" "Ivanhoe," and othe
stories Of the days Of ancien
chivalrv suffered much at hi
hands.
The boys are planning to bull
a rustic log cabin on a beautiful
located lot in the town of Dre'
den. They, themselves, will d
most OF the work on the cabir
but it will be necessary TO en-
ploy carpenters at certain stage
of the work. There will be som
expense in the construction
the cabin, which the boys plan
meet by giving play, called th
"Bov Scouts" The cabin is t
be used as a meeting place
, whence all the "well-laid plans
J of the scouts will come. An
assistance that the citizens of th
community can give, such as th
, donation Of logs, or the voluntar
contribution of money, will /
/, appreciated by them. They d
not intend, however, to ask an
person for money.

Alaska Treadwell Gold Mines

THE STORY of the discovery and
 development of the Treadwell
 group is filled with romance. The man who found the famous lode was Pierre Erussard, d French Can adian, known to his friends and ac- quaintanccs as French Pete He was a prospector and lived on the beach, not far from the early-day Indian set clement in Juneau. In November, 1880, Erussard landed on the beach of Douglas Island. with several In dians, one of whom was his wife's brother. An Out-crop of gold-bearing quartz on the hillside, about a quar- ter of a mile from shore convinced him that he was on the paystreak and he staked two claims, the Paris and the Bears Nest. The original dis covery was made near Paris Creek. stream long since obliterated, that formerly ran down the slope now deeply scared by the big excavation known as the Glory Hole.

beginning with the Treadwell mine at the northwest end and embracing the following mines in the order named:
 Seven Hundred Foot Mine, Mexican Mine, and, with a two thousand-fo interval, the Ready Bullion Mine. These four named are operated by thre eseparate mining companies as follows: The Alaska Treadwell Gold Mining Company operates the Tread well Mine, the Alaska Mexican Gold Mining Company operates the Mexi- Mining Company operates the Seven Hundred Foot and the Ready Bullion Mines. From an operating standpoint these mines may be considered as one enterprise and are so treated herein.
 The ore on Douglas Island occurs in two separate and distinct dikes of all bite diorite. deep seated intrusive rock related to the so-called granites which form the backbone of the coast range of mountains. The ore dikes lie between hanging wall of meta gabbio, which is also called green stone, and foot wall of black slate, and the ore contains occasional hors- es of schist. The larger of the two ore dikes provides the ore of the Treadwell, Mexican and Seven Hun- dred Foot Mines, and below the 750- foot level the workings of the three mines are practically continuous and form in reality one mine. The Ready Bullion dike lies about 2OOO feet southeast of the end of the Treadwell- Mexican dike and is much smaller in extent. However, the character of the ore varies little from place to place. In the early history of the mine the mining was all done in open pits or glory holes. Raises were driven through to the surface from main haul age levels, either adits or from one of the shafts. Holes were drilled and blasted around the tops of these rais. es and the ore fell into chutes at the bottom. From these chutes it was drawn and trammed to the mills. This method is known as the "glory hole" method of mining. Later the pits became so deep that underground mining was resorted to. The method used is known as the shrinkage sys. tenn and consists of back stoping in ore filled stopes. Levels are driven from the shafts at vertical intervals
 of from no to 200 feet. At an eleva
 tion of 25 feet above the level stopes are cut out for the full width of tho ore and varying in length from 6( to 100 feet. Pillars or ribs 25 fee
 thick are left between stopes. Chut, raises are driven from the levels int, the bottom of the stopes and througl

were therefore entered into with B. NJ. Baruch of New York for the sale of the company's treasury stock for the purpose of financing the property to the extent of preparing the mine for an output of 5000 tons per day and to build a mill to handle this out put as we'll as to provide for all the accessory equipment.
 The first. or 50 stamp mill built under MT. Bradley's contract was erected on the shore of Gastineau Channel just below the city of Ju- neau. This mill was designed along standard lines, following Douglas Isl and practice which has proven it's economic worth in handling low grade ores. Since this mill started eyolu- tion in the art of ore dressing has developed a mill of the ball mill type which promises to outstrip the best work obtained from stamps, and it is more than likely that the new mill to be built on the property will in clude this new system of crushing No move will be made in the dark however and preparations are now be- ing made to install an 8 ball mill so as to have an actual working dem- onstration of its merit.
 The Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company is incorporated under the laws of the state of West Virginia. The capital stock is 1,50O.000 shares at par value of $10 each. Of this amount 100000 shares remain in the treasury for the purpose of doubling the milling capacity at some future date. On April 2 the Central Trust Company of New York, acting for Mir. Bernard NJ. Baruch, of the city of New York, delivered to subscribers 100000 shares at a par value of $1O each, thereby placing in the bank $4,O00,000 for development and equip ment
 In recognition of valued services to both the Alaska Juneau and Tread well companies arrangements were made so that employees of these companies could purchase stock in the mining enterprise at terms ac- ceptable. About $2OO.OOO was sub scribed. The stock now has a local demand at $15 share.
 The directors and officers of the company are as follows:
