In a majority of our districts a steadily increasing standard is evident while in others little or no advancement has been made either in the selection of well prepared teachers or more com fortable school equipment. Generally speaking, however, we feel that sub stantial progress is a result of the year's work. A beautiful four-roomed building with modern furnishings in the town of Millville was erected during the past vear, and is now ready for use. In Briar Creek one two room build ing and a fine new annex of two rooms were constructed and in use last year. Business enterprise in the town of Berwick has promoted a season of industrial activity which, if continued, will place this town in the rank of cities. In order to meet the growing demand for school advantages a twenty-thousand dollar high school building is in course of erection, and will be ready for use some time after the schools open in September. In a few disuicts our energetic and progressive teachers have shown a marked degree of ingenuity by grow ing vines and shrubbery upon their school grounds in such a way that the effect is both artistic and pleasing. Many of our outbuildings are the relics of bygone days and judging from the lack of care shown them are to be kept for all time as memorials of those good old days we hear about, when "licking and laming'' were of a higher standard than the high falutin ideas of the present. Those nude carvings and coarso jokes cut or frescoed upon the school propel ty in this way can not be shielded lrom the eyes of our pupils.

Enoch Ritteiihouse died suddenly at his home in Briarcreek township Sunday, a little before the noon day hour. He was well advanced in years, having passed his Soth birthday, but notwithstanding this fact he appeared to be in good healtt. His death was consequent ly a great shock to his family and to the community in general. He is survived by a wife, two sons and one daughter. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon. Swartwout Wolf Nuptials. St. Gabriel's Chapel, at Coles Creek was the scene of a very pretty wedding last Thursday afternoon, when Miss Anna Berard Swartwout, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Swartwout, of Tie. and grand-daughter of the late General Robert Swartwout, of the U. S. A., became the wife of Frank Preston Wolf, of Goble, Oregon. The cere mony was performed at 4 o'clock by Rev. Mr. Harding of Trenton, N. J., who many years ago was the pastor of the St. Gabriel Chapel. The bride and groom were unattended. After the ceremony was performed the newly married couple departed for their home in Goble, Oregon, from the Coles Creek station where they received a noisy serenade. The groom was born and reared to manhood at Cambra, and is a son of H. P. Wolf, of that place. He left Cambra for Oregon about fourteen years ago. He is engaged in the fish packing business in that place. Though it was intended that the marriage should be a quiet affair, the pretty little chapel was well filled with the friends of the bride and groom.) iiu inn , V1 j. in IX I III!

Property of Con3.pan.3r. This is very extensive, consisting of four milling properties, each over one mile in length, on a great copper vein over 100 feet in width, pronounced, by Copper experts as among the widest and richest copper veins known, lacking only the necessary development to place same in the front rank of the greatest dividend and copper producing properties. It is on llie same gteat Copper Mincr.il Iielt upon which are located the world', pres ent greatest copper mints, each paying many millions of dollars annually in dividends and developed to the depth of from looo lo 2000 feet, thus fully establishing the fact that the veins are not alone intxhaustible, but widen and become even more profitable with depth The great vein on this properly is of such unusual width and so prolific in copper ore from surface that only moderate developments are needed to betjin the production of 01 e on a scale lo insure large dividends on the shares of this Company. The Company is sinking a shaft now nearly 100 feet in depth on the vein of one of it? four prope. ties, the "I'ay Koll." This shaft is entirely in ore, which, by tests, gave values at the surface of from 3 lo 4 per cent - copper, and nearly 10 per ton in gold in addition; at the depth of fifty feet te.,ts gave values of from 6 to 8 per cent, copper and from $1 1 to I3 in gold per ton; at the depth of seventy feet tests gave values of from 12 to riper cent in copper and nearly $15 in gold per ton; while selected samples show values as high as 22 per cent copper and nearly $20 in gold Tier ton. The value of the gold per ton will enable the Company to produce copper at very low As showing lhat this great vein is not alone of unusual width, but also of rare rich ness in ore as compared wuh some of the richest copper mines, we refer to the great "An aconda Mine," paying over $5,000,003 annually in dividends from ore avenging less than hve per cent in copper; or to the "Bosioi and Montana" paying over $5,Ojo.ooo annually from ore averaging less than six per cent, in copper; or to the "Great Verde," paying nearly f 5,00,000 annually in dividends from ore averaging less than six per cent, in cop- 1 iico, converr. llhiest in the The property of the Company is situated in Rio Arribi Countv, New Mex to Railroad Station and in a section heavily timbered and one of the heal ent United States.

Instead of cheap cards advertising the wares 01 our enterprising patent medicine concerns, pictures representing the best art productions hang upon the walls. Aside from the artistic effect they represent a culture value to be useci in connection with class work. Many of our teachers fail to sunnlv themselves with a sufficient number of periodicals essential in keeping in touch with the doings of the world. Low salaries and the fact that a large number have struggled hard for their Normal School training, going into debt and looking forward to several years to pay the debt, make it diffi cult for them to keep in touch with up-to-date methods and events. We should like to see each teacher given an appropriation of at least five dol lars to be expended for aids of this sort. With an education comes greater j expenses, both literary and personal, ' and teachers find it difficult to live on ' what seemed a comfortable compensa tion. Such conditions breed discon tent. As the teacher is, the pupil be comes. Who, therefore, can doubt that much of the unrest shown be tween capital and labor as well as in all society, finds its very beginnings in the bulwark of our nation the public schools?
