HUNTER THANKS SYLVA FOLKS
\
Editor .Jackson County Journal: ?
I think I should appear ungrateful
if I did not acknowledge, in some
public way, the fine spirit of cooper
ation recently manifested by the citi
zens of Sylva in helping me in the
matter of transporting children from
Sylva to Cullowhee for the summer
school. Probably no one not on the
inside of the college organization can
realize how badly we needed that co
operation. We had iwenty-fJve or
thirty seniors who had to secure prac
tice school facilities this summer in
order to graduate in August. It look
ed for a while as if there did not
seem "-to be a liklihoou that enough
Cullowhee children would attend the
Training School to enable us to offer
fffwifftiife facilities- to more thmrtr
small fraction of those who expected
to graduate in August. TheN American
Association of Teachers Colleges pre
scribes the number of children neces
sary in the training school for each
senior who secures practice; also pre
scribes the amount of practice for
each senior.
We felt that no real friend of
Western Carolina Teachers College
wanted to see us have to turn away
who is very 3ick is in an Asheville hos
pital.
Miss Mary Middleton, who is a
nurse in the Angel hospital in Frank
lin, is spending her vacation here
with herf parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ed.
Middleton. Miss Middleton was in an
automobile wreck recently and sus
tained slight injuries.

. nir'
seniors, especially in view of ,the in
sistence of some people that the very
lack of children for the training
school would make it impossible to
btofcia teachers college at Cullowhee.
SoJ^nturned with gome Anxiety, and
^rvvflh lIUlAfdenoe, toflftTfedpie ofl
Sylva to help us out. Beautifully did
they do it. They not only furnished
some three score children, but helped
in a way I shall not soon forget in
the matter of securing adequate and
safe transportation facilities. We ap
preciate, too, the cooperation of the
county school authorities in letting
us have two county buses.
I think the Sylva children are them
selves happy in attending our sum
mer training school. They are in the
hands of expert elementary teachers
who never overlook the interest of
the child, and who carefully super
? -I
vise- all practice teaching: It is our (
confident hope that ' teachers and
students may have a pleasant and :
profitable six weeks together.
Respectfully,
H. T. HUNTER.

Men and machinery were moving
in to the Cullowhec Copper Mitle,
Monday, to begin operations on this
property which has been lying dor
mant for more than a quarter of 'a
century. ~
Negotiations, which haev been in
progress in Raleigh, Asheville, New
York and Sylva, for several weeks, be
tween the trustees for the owners
and other interested persons, and the
other interested persons, and tho
North Carolina Flux Company, were
completed last week, the contracts for
the lease of the mine were drawn and
have been executed by the trustees,
by Thomas A. Cox, and others,
lessors, and are now in New York to
be signed by the North Carolina Flux
Company.
Jt is anticipated at present, that
the ore will be shipped to the Tenn
essee Copper Company's smelter, at
Ducktown, Tenn., for reduction; and
the matter of favorable freight rates,
which it is now understood, have been
satisfactorily adjusted, has been hold
ing up the completion of the lease con
tract for several weeks.
While, of course, the exact terms of
the contract are not publicly known
it is understood that a long lease has
been granted to the North Carolina
Flux Company, which is considered
favorable both to the lessor and the
owners of the property.
People here generally believe that
the lease of the Cullowhee mine is the
beginning of th,e end of the long
struggle that has been made by the
few who had faith to place the miner
al wealth of Jackson county before
the world, and the beginning of a
ilew and bright chapter in the history
of Jacckson county.
The Cullowhee mine is located on
the Cullowhee mountain, near East
is in the.- Jldt
that traverses Jackson county fnxft. ,
Southwest to Northeast, with out
croppings at various intervals.
Not only, it is said by informed
persons, does the Jackson county ore
carry copper, but also a percentage of
gold and silver, varying in different
localites on the lead, but at some
points in suffiiecnt quantity to pay
the cost of mining the ore, and leav
ing the copper almost a clear profit.
Pioneers of this section were quick
to realize the mineral wealth of the
county, and the Copper lead, stretch
ing clear across Jackson, has been a
well recognized fact by all local
people for many years.
Mr. W. A. Ellis will be in charge
of the operation.
CULLOWHEE TO HAVE HUGE
BUILDING PROGRAM SOON
Cullowhee, July 2 ? It looks as if
Western Carolina Teachers College
will soon be in the midst of a build
ing program. Architects and engin
eers have been engaged to prepare
plans and specifications for the fol
lowing projects: A new fire-proof
doirmitory to accommodate 170 more
students; a hydro-electric plant on
the Tuckaseigee River. Mr. Earl G.
Stillwell, of Henderson ville, is the
architect for the dormitory and for
kitchen extension, while Charles E.
Waddell, of Asheville, is the engin
eer for the hydro-electric plant. .
It is now expected that contracts
will soon be let on these projects, and
that actual work will begin sometime
in July or August.
Another project which the authori
ties hope to get under way this sum
mer is the building of a group of
dairy buildings including a dairy
barn, silo, milk house, granery, and
farmers residence. The accommoda
tion of a twenty cow herd is con
templated. The construction of thtsne
buildings will enable the college to
remove from the edge of the campus
some unsightly old barns and other
structures, and to beautify the ap
proaches to the campus.
Preparatory to starting these build
ings, President Hunter and the archi
tect recently made an extended trip
to a number of the colleges in the
state in order to study the dormito
ries and other facilities at these in
stitutions.
