High School News.

1t was on the evening OF Monday,
Feb. 14th. that our good friends Supt.
and Mrs. A. j. Austin invited the high
school students and teachers to help
celebrate st. Valentines day. The
gathering took place in the dining
room of Hotel Austin at eight O'Clock.
A series of royal entertainments had
been planned for the students and
teachers, and the evening was spent
in playing games together with other
forms of amusement. Time passed
quickly and before we were aware it
was ten O'Clock. Then tables were
spread for refreshments. The thanks
of the school are due our good host and
hostess for royal good time.
On Tuesday Gwynevere Mcintyre
add Edward Bauer entertained the
school with 1.-The Soul of the Violin "
and ''Hannibal Before the Gates of
Rome" respectively.
Basket ball practice was postponed
from Monday to Tuesday of this week
that all might attend the Valentine

able in rich deposits of iron ore
and, it is claimed by few. that
when this bed is opened it will
equal the famous Messaba range.
Activities IN real estate would
seem to bear out the assertion.
Beginning in January, 1911, a
crew of field experts with drills
began operations from Lac Vieux
Desert west and during the ten
months that followed worked
their Investigations beyond Mer-
GER and Manitowish into Iron
county. In the spring of the fol-
lowing year land values in the
prospected territory began to
climb and every available parcel
was picked up. A strip of real
estate averaging three-fourths of
a mile in width and about forty
two miles in length (the entire
length of Villas county east and
west between townships AZ and
49, was secured by F. l. Carpen-
ter whose holdings in this county
are now said to aggregate over
1880 acres.
A. B. McVay, in the interest of
an eastern firm, secured options
on thousands of acres of Villas
county land supposed to be rich
in mineral.
Drilling operations continued
for the next year in various parts
of the county and the scant ex-
pressions of the engineers, the
secrecy of their movements and
the persistencv of their efforts IN
certain localities convinced many
that their findings were valuable.
Recent tips given out apparently
confirm this.
Without a doubt there is big
development for Villas county
near at hand. All indications,
in spite of scant information,
point that way.
There's a future for this county.

Villas county's mineral wealth
will soon be developed into a
flourisbing industry if informa-
ton now being guardedly given
out is any indication of what is
going on in the inner circles Of
those who own and control the
vast acreage of Villas county's
prospected lands. Information
is meager. The men who know
will not tell and the only know
ledge that gets out is that which
comes through the channels of
speculation and conjecture New
ertheless ii is a fact that under
the surface things are moving to-
ward a close development of the
mineral lands discovered in this
county a few years ago.
Present European conditions
have created an unlimited mar
ket for minerals. The great de-
mand has called into use every
available source that can con-
tribute to the vast industry.
Mines that have been idle for
years have been re-opened; new
plants for the manufacture OF
the minerals have sprung up by
the dozens within the past year
trying to cope with the increas-
ing demand. Every source of
raw material is being worked
to capacity. New ore fields are
being developed. Prospects dis
covered a few years ago and held
in reserve are now being devel-
oped with the backing of unlimit-
ed capital and the powers that
hold the mineral future of this
county in hand will undoubtedly,
if inside information is correct,
begin operations before much
more time elapses.
Villas county is rich IN mineral.

BASKETBALL NOTES

The local high school basket
ball team won its first game
with an outside school Friday
evening at kuehne's hall when it
met and defeated the Minocqua
high school team bv a score of
80 to Is. The game was fast
and snappy from the start and
the teams seemed quite evenly
matched. During the first few
minutes of play Minocqua show
ed up in brilliant team work but
the locals penetrated it before it
worked too much harm and for
the remainder of the game the
visitors failed to get into their
stride. In the second half the
local boys warmed up to the
game and toward the close of
the period exhibited a little bit of
the stuff that makes real basket
ball teams.
A preliminary game was play
ed between the freshman and
sophomore girls, resulting in a
4 to 3 victory for the freshmen.
The games were witnessed by
a goodsizeG crowd, which was
very gratifying to the high
school people, they being under
heavy expense in bringing the
Minocqua team here, The audi
ence was well pleased with the
good showing made. The visit
ors proved themselves gentlemen
and sportsmen, making a hit
with those on the side lines.
The high school orchestra fur
nished music for the social dance
which followed the games.
