HAS
LARGEST MINES
State Mining Inspector Tells of Mining
Activities in This District in
Annual Report
CONSIDERABLE DEVELOPMENT
Good Word for Porihill and LENA
Properties

R. N. Bell, state mining inspec-
tor, has just received the printed
copies of his annual report, filed
with former Governor Haines jan
uary l.
Under the heading Bonner
County Mines, Mr.. Bell has the
following to say;
The Continental mine in Bon
ner county completed its new con-
centrating plant of 200 tons daily
capacity, together with big pow
er plant and mine machinery in
stallation and extended its develop
ment underground with most graf
flying results in the matter of dem
onstrating its great ore resources,
but was discouraged from shipping
or entering into a campaign of mill
operations by the slack market for
mineral, and the property has re-
NAMED idle since the middle of the
summer, except some small leasing
operations. Several other new
mills in Bonner county were also
idle from similar causes.
Active development work on
new placer enterprises on the trib-
utaries of the upper Kootenai val
ley were carried on throughout the
year and are so far advanced as to
promise extensive operations and
important precious bullion results
the coming season.
of these enterprises the Idaho
Gold & Radium Mining company
have expended large amount of
money in canal and reservoir con-
struction and hydraulic equipment
and have an enormous deposit of
relatively high grade placer gravel,
which according to apparently
authentic reports of its average val
ne, is said to contain so cents per
cubic yard in a bank of small grav-
el over 100 feet high and should re-
suit in a greatly increased yield of
precious bullion for Idaho when
the extensive equipment has been
gotten into full operation. !"

BILLY KERsANDs DEAD.
Famous Negro Minstrel Passes Away
Suddenly in New Mexico.

The following press despatch will
be of interest to a large number of
our readers, particularly in this COM
munity, where the famous Billy Ker-
sands never failed to crowd the opera
house on the occasion of his annual
appearance
sArtesia, n. NJ, June 30.-Billy
Kersands, at one time the best known
negro minstrel performer in the
world, died suddenly here at 1 o'clock
this morning of heart failure. He
was nearly q years of age, but with
the exception Of failing eyesight was
remarkably well preserved and was
at work with carnival company play
ing here almost up to the hour of his
death.
'Kersands finished his performance
with the carnival company shortly
after midnight and started for the
sleeping car where the troupe was
sleeping. On the way to the train he
had an attack of heart trouble, but
after stopping for few minutes rest
he continued on his way to the car.
While undressing he was seized with
another attack and a physician was
called, but Kersands died before med
zeal assistance could reach him.
Billy Kersands had been on the
American stage for nearly fifty years.
He was born in Baton Rouge, La,
but went to New York while very
young and became a bootblack ON the
Bowery. His singing and dancing
barefoot in the street attracted the
attention of minstrel performer
named Craddock, who first put Ker-
sands IN a part at S12 a week. In
two weeks Billy struck for S24 week
and got it, and within month
struck for $50 week and was again
raised. In short time he was draw
ing $75 a week and was being fea-
tured as the man who could put an
ordinary sized saucer in his mouth.
The late Charles Frohman, who
recently lost his life when the Lusi-
tania was sunk by German subma-
rine, was attracted by Kersands while
the latter was with Craddock and in
vited him to take part in a negro
minstrel show he was sending to Eu-
rope. Kersands let them work on
him for three weeks and at the end
Of that time signed contract to tour
Europe for $3.50 week.
This was the beginning of his big
salary days, and for years money
flowed his way. He travelled through
the country in a private car occupied
only by himself and his family, and
after several years of successful work
he went to Australia on a trip on
which he lost practically everything
he possessed. When he died he was
travelling with plantation show in a
carnival company with a troupe of
some eight performers. The prices
to see the old-time king of negro
minstrels had dropped from two dol
lars seat to fifteen cents"

that money invested in brains is a
good asset to the parish.
Recommendation.
/ recommend that the coming year
Calbasse school be operated as q two
instead of three-teacher school, and
that the sixth, seventh and eighth
grades be transported by wagon,
properly arranged, to the DutchtoWn
High School. Since it is impossible
to place within reach Of all Of those
desiring higher education, facilities
for same, the next best thing seems
to be to transport these children to
the nearest high school. The
change in this case is particularly de-
sirable, since instead of providing sew
en- months for these grades at CAL
base school they will receive nine
months schooling at DutchtoWn. Too,
there will be a saving IN expense,
highly desirable at this time, of $255
per month, to say nothing of the bet
ter equipment and facilities, in t.
;.s,Sger school, also broader soosssf CON
tact for the pupils transported.
{ wish it might be possible to effect
d Sl1liilStI Oh too1fiS VI wi
other schools.
/ recommend that an effort be made
to induce the Gonzales school district
to raise the sum Of $4,000 in order to
take advantage of the offer of the
state to supplement this amount to
the extent of $3.50, which should be
in additional building and
equipment necessary at this time to
relieve the congested condition and
provide for sewing and cooking de-
partment.
Conclusion
In conclusion I. beg to submit that
I have made every effort during this
year to honestly and conscientiously
administer the school system of the
parish. That might have done some
Kings better and that | may have fail /
I'd in some respects, | frankly admit

olished and what / have failed to do, /
find some cause for satisfaction and /
for rejoicing over a year of work we'll /
planned and we'll executed. That {

Turing the year, giving to the schools
heir best thought and their time with /
tut cost to the parish, are commend |.
lble facts, and it is this loyalty to the
chool system, this devotion to the
rust imposed upon them, coupled
With the splendid and harmonious CO.
operation of board members and SUI
that is mainly respon-
ible for whatever success has been
tttained during the year which now
passes into history.
