measure dependent upon the progress Of the
individual parts. Then let our motto be pro-
gresson.
1t was remarked by one of the boys many
years ago, 1--WE must educate, tce must edu-
cate, or WE MUST perish by own poster
ity." Could that old sage cast his eyes about
over his idol now he would rejoice to see the
advancement she has made, and if we con
tinue our strides onward We are likely to live
for many centuries to come with the memory
of the old hero.
But in travelling over this great State one
can see in many places the want of schools
and facilities for the instruction of the young
Yet when we bear in mind that but a few
years ago the greater part of this great do
main of wealth was only inhabited by the fe-
rocious red man, the fearless mountaineer,
the careless miner, and the infamous road
agent, we cannot suppress the thought that
that she is in the progression. For we hear
1t uttered from every mountain peak of the
State, from every camp the sound comes,
from the narrow passes between the loftiest
mountains the echo is reverbera;ed from the
deep and rugged canons above which the snow
tAlp'l ItAhs look GoNh tht
ing whistle of progress is heard. But often
where the greatest successes are being achiey
cd things of equal importance are overlooked.
Such seems TO be the condition with regard to
schools in many places. They have been ne
elected. More alluring prospects for accum-
ulating fortune than teaching school seem
to seize upon the brain of the educator
soon as he reaches the State, and in many
places competent teachers cannot be procured.
Again parents and guardians Of children are
too nerlectful Of their interest. Children are
habitcd 10 form n taste for business before
they have knowledge sufficient to render them
competent to transact business. The conse-
quence is the Colorado boy in a short time
stands back and the boys from the cas-: takes
the lead. This should not be.
The bone and sinew Of this nation is her
free public schools as IL will IL rightly exer-
ciscj purify the hallot-boS and rend> r every
man competent to say whom his Governor
shall he. Then let the people of Delta coun-
ty begin with the beginning epoch of her his
tory as county. to organize good schools.
Let there bc organized in every neighborhood
where there il scholars sufficient a school.
Let men with families and men without fam
lilies come forward and see that ample funds
are provided to secure good teacher for

Copper.

The consumption Of copper says the San
Francisco Mating Pros, is steadily increas-
ing. as is also the production. The opening
Of the new copper fields of Arizona, New
Mexico. Colorado and Montana is gradually
having its influence, and in some parts of our
mining regions more attention Is being paid
to copper than anything else, OF course, our
production on this coast is small, as compared
with the Michigan copper mines, which have
been worked for years, but the number of
mines and of active furnaces is rapidly null
tiplying. The English market for copper, to
n certain extent, regulates that Of the world.
While the increase of production was 10000
tons last year. the English home consumption
increased 1e,ooo tons over 1881. The value
of the steam engines and machinery exported
from England was Gil ,a62, ,6d0, against f9.-
900, ,2o6 in 1851, which at once accounts for
considerable portion of the large home con-
sumption. The French consumption of cop.
per las, year was 800 tons less than in 1881,
owing To the unsatisfactory state Of financial
affairs in that country. Tho decrease of ex.
ports OF English copper was made up by n
dimnuton Of 5000 tons to Germany and
Holland, $50 tons to Russia, 7;O tons to Egg
ypt, | 900 tons to France and 900 tons to the
other countries. India took 900 more tons
than in 1851. The total exports from
England and consumption in England and
France, although only 1000 tons more in 1sss
than In 1881, was 10, 900 tons greater in these
two years than in the preceding two years

Tor copper had been sold by contract at isc

for exports TO Europe when stocks increase or

TO point to the expectation on the part of the
Lake Superior companies that any exports to
Europe of their surplus s.ook will not be re-
