TO RAISE FUNDS
7 FOR SCHOOL

The following plans have been
devised to raise fundsfor the con-
tinuance of the school at this
place. The salary of the prin-
cipal, Miss Bramblett. is paid by
Mr.. Sherman, but as it is impos-l
sibIe for one teacher to teach the
entire school of nearly seventy
pupils in every grade from the
first to the eighth. and do them
all Justice, it was thought best
to employ an assistant, which has
been done in the person of Miss
Irene Turner. In order to raise
money for Miss. Turner'S salary
and other expenses incidental
with running the school, the par
ents of children attending will
be asked to contribute the small
SUM of SOC a month for each
child attending. 1t is not the
wish of those in charge to debar
any child in Sequachee from at
tending andif there are any so
DOOR as not to be able to pay this
small sum, they are not asked
to J pay anything. However,
those who are able should con-
at least SOC per head, and more
if SO inclined. Give or send all
contributions to Mrs. L. L. Lasa-
ter who is treasurer of the School
Improvement League, thru which
organization the work is being
done, before the 18th of each
month so if the funds on hand
are not sufficient to meet the ex-
pense, other plans may be devils
ed. If everyone will do their
share the burden will not be
heavy, and the children will have
the advantage of a spring term,
which otherwise they would not
get, asfthere are no funds avail
able from the county for the pur-
pose. -''a''' -'a, ..'-

The following regarding the
history of DeWolf is from the
Chattanooga News: .n r..
Darwin DeWolf, one-time ma,
tive of Chattanooga, who died in
a New York hospital from burns
while he was experimenting with
a combination kerosene and water
burner, numbered among his
personal Chattanooga friends
Dan E. Soper. Mr.. Soper, in
making a statement about De-
Wolf, said that he met him in
Tecumseh, Mich. before the war.
At this time, Mr. Soper stated
DeWolf was an amateur musician
of some merit, having composed
several pieces of music, Two
years ago Mr.. Soper said he met
DeWolf again in Chattanooga.
During the long period which he
had not seen his friend, Mr.. Soper
declared, neither family nor
friends of DeWolf had heard from
him. He W3s understood to be in
the west. 1t was there, probably,
that he gathered together the
Colorado mining properties " hich
which were discovered to his
credit after his death.
About a year and half ago
DeWolf again left Chattanooga
and the next time Mr.. Soper heard
of him was in a human interest
story written by New York re-
porter. This gave an account of
how the reporter discovered De-
Wolf in a destitute condition on
streets of the city, took him TO a
restaurant and gave him a meal.
when DeWolf died in New
York it was found that he had
lived for many months in a piano
box in a New York factory yard,
and that he had accumulated
about $4,000 in addition to the
mining stock mentioned. "

MINERAL INDUSTRY
m UNITED STATES

Ten mines in Arizona paid $4,-
600. 900 in dividends during the |
past year. Adding Utah, Mon |
tana, Nevada and Idaho dividends |
to those OF Arizona we have a to- |
tai of over 500, 1000, 600 in diyi-
dends paid out of the mines of !
these FIVE western states in a
single year.
These are some Of the impress
sive facts brought out by the re-
port of the Geological Survey to
Secretary Lane just made. New
err before" said Mr.. Lane, has
so large a draft been made on the
natural resources of our country
as during this year, and never be-
fore have the metals been ex-
tracted from these ores with less
waste or utilized to better advant-
! tage in advancing the general
prosperity of the country. Even
as written in the plain figures of
1915 production the wonderful
record of our mines sets forth a
degree of national industrial indie
pendence only hoped for a few
years ago.
Again copper stands out as
the best illustration of how
| American mines can meet world
demand. The output of nearly
1000, 100000 pounds of the red
metal is double that of ten years
ago and its value is twice that of
copper produced in 1915, Add to
this the facts that in value copper
now contends with iron for first
| place among the metals and that
together the amount of these two
metals produced last year had a
value of more than one billion dol
lars and we have a measure of
what this country can contribute
in useful metals.
THE output of zinc from do.
nestle ores increased last year
95, 600 tons, which makes a new
record for that metal, the total
| value of the spelter from United
States ore being $50 million dol
lars. Lead also shows a large
increase, the seyenty-five million
dollar output being a gain of more
than fifty per cent.
With all this activity in metal
production the coal mines have
have had to meet heavy de-
mand, 50 that the bituminous coal
output has now passed the half
billion ton mark, an increase OF
l21 per cent over the previous
year. Coke production increased
80 per cent and it is gratifying to
note that by-product coke made
the largest gain, which means a
corresponding gain in benzol and
other valuable by-products.
Again the oil wells have given
new record for petroleum yield,
the estimate of marketed produc-.
tion of crude petroleum for 1916
being 292, 900, 900 barrels, or H.
100000 barrels more than in 1915.
Another mineral product
which furnishes an index of bust
ness conditions is cement, the
1916 production of which is esti-
mated to be 100000 barrels in
excess of the output of the pre-
vious year, while the shipments
were even greater, aggregatlng
81, 500, 900 barrels, with the out
look reported as good for the new
year.
The reports received from the
Surveys western offices contain
most significant mining records.
Every western state shows d
large increase in yield of metals,
Arizona leading with a gain of
$100, 900, 900 over last year, while
Utah and Montana together re-
port another $100,000,000 gain.
Alaska also had its best wear. con-

NEW YORK. Jan. A. AT the

The boy started to run, but stern
