Tooley, who has chnrgc of the registration,
say3. the Arrival, tomorrow, with the few
I Vo comers mi Krldny, will bring the en
rollment up to nt least 1,100.
An Innovation in connection with the
convention that Is, receiving' wide attention
In the meeting of the county superintend
ents of tha ntnte, which was proposed In a
call Issued by.Slr.te Superintendent Fowler.
The first laesslon was, continued today and
will bo coucludod tomorrow. Superintendent
Kowlcr presides nt all of these meetings.
The subjects discussed relate to tho man
agement of schools from, the standpoint of
the superintendent.' 'It Is likely that sev
eral chunfoV In .school legislation will be
proposed beforo the meeting adjourns.
A notable feature of the convention Is
tho alxioncc of the schaol bonk and school
supply displays which have heretofore oc
cupied so much space at' tho headquarter
of hotels. The leading publishers have
agreed to mlikc no display this yenr, but
nil have representatives on the ground.
Tho samo condition prevails throughout the
country at teachers' conventions.
Ite voliillim tu i:iect Ion,
A complete revolution In tho manner of
electing ofllccrs of tho association was pro
posed In "tho general assembly tonight by
Superintendent Ed lliahop of York. Ills
plan Is to have the election by referendum
vote of all members In attendance, Instead
of by tho general assembly on, tho recom
mendation of a nominating committee, as
undor tho oxlsting provision of tho con
stitution. The effect would' bo to give each
member a direct vote and would do away
with tho nominating committee
Mr. Bishop's proposal Is embodied in an
amendment to the constitution and it will
coma up for dlscusslooln 'the general bb-
scmbly tomorrow morning. It Is said tho
amendment will -hay the vigorous opposi
tion of tho political lenders of 'the asso
ciation, or of that clement', known as ''the
inuciilne," for It will be effective In dis
continuing the practice of trading and deal
ing for tho ofllccs.
Nnelllusr Content n Novelty.
Members from each congressional com
J mitteo will meet tomorrow aftornoon to
elect members of thd nominating commit
too, which will submit Its recommenda
tions nt the general assembly Friday morn

LEAD, S. I)., Jnn. 1. (Special.) The
Hidden Fortune Mining company has a
largo quantity of ore. on hand, from which
It will probably begin making shipments
within the next few months. Part of .It Is
siliceous nnd pert of It Is arsenical pVritcs,
all of a good grade and In demand nt tho
smelters. On the Hidden Fortuno No. 2,
which was purchased by tno company ct
Otto P. Th. Grantz, there Is 1,200 tons of
siliceous ore on tho dump. The lot Is esti
mated to be worth $20,00(0' Tho company
took n bond on this claim February 27,
1901, for tho period of ono year, with the
option of taking up the bond at any tlmo
before its maturity. According to tho
terms of the bond, Mr. Grantz was per
mitted to mine and ship ore from tho claim
until tho bond was taken up and tho pur
chase price paid over and he accordingly
had n number of men employed on tho
ground several months during tho year.
Tho ore was removed by stripping a fewJ
inches of soil and loose earth and quarry
ing, ns the shoot lay horizontally, almost
nt the surface. The bond was taken up
seventy-three days beforo Its expiration,
before Mr. Grnntz hnd shipped the ore, and
It consequently passed Into the possession
of the company.

more. Intersecting at a point COO feet from

nel Is 525 feet long, and ledgo matter ap
pcaro at the faco. Oro Is being encoun
tered that cannot bo distinguished from

of 320 feet. The .property Is in Nevada
gulch, two miles from Lead. Two ten
hour shifts are working and tho shaft Is
of two compartments. A station Is to be
cut nnd drifting will begin on tho ore.

demonstrated during tho last four weeks
that'lts ores may bo treated profitably with
evantdo. Tho company's property Is situ
ated In Spruco gulch, a mllo and a half

quartzite, carrying a high percentage of
iron oxides. Tho oxides aro separated from
tho sand by a simple apparatus designed by
John Randall, chemist at the plant, that
Is moved from tank to tank by means of an
overhead crawler. Tho slimes are treated
by tho usual decantatlon method, agitation
being effected with a centrifugal pump.
Tho plant has been running nearly a month,
treating from forty to fifty tons a uay. mo
oro assays from $10 to $15 a ton and tho
mill Is extracting better than 80 per cent.
Tho company owns tho Champion mlno, In

the Big Horn basin In northern Wyoming.
Tbo company commenced operations five
years ago, when 12,000 acres of land were
segregated under the Carey act and a ditch
thirty miles long was constructed.
Today there are 600 persons living along
tbo canal. Ono town Germanln has been
established and the farmers are prosperous
and happy. Tho population Is mado up
chiefly of Germans, brought to Wyoming
from Iowa nnd Illinois. The big ditch Is
taken from the Grey Bull river and re
claims over 12,000 acres of land on the
north dde of that stream. Originally 20,
000 acres wore to be reclaimed, but 8,000
acres wero thrown aside as not easily bus
ceptlblo to reclamation.
