AS AN exponent of the strenuous school of
action, DIR. Jacob Giacomo of Rock Springs, Wyo,
is bowling success. The doctor fell in love with
one of his patients, Miss Lizzie Brown and stopping
to the conventional he proposed to her in the usual
manner The lady refused, thereby irritating the
warm southern blood of the medicine man, who
promptly locked her up in his apartment and
threatened to keep her in custody until she consented
to marriage. Miss Brown was released through the
combined efforts of her parents and an officer and it
is pleasant to know that Dr. Giacomo was beaten up
considerably in the struggle that ensued after his
arrest.

"If two cyclists started from

twenty-five miles an hour, at 10
O'Clock, and the other, who could
ride thirty miles an hour, at 1870,

other day.
There was an oppressive silence
before little Johnnie, who was near
the foot of the class, put up his

the problem without the aid of

rest and big bunch of recreation to make up for
what he has gone through So as soon as he is
given his discharge he starts in with charging up the
prison experience to the work account and begins to
even things up by having good time before settling
down to the grind In having said good time he
unlearns the real lesson of the prsonthe necessity
of regular hours and hard work. He continues
evening things up, he calls it, until his money is
exhausted and he is forced to look for work Mean
while his friends and acquaintance have been in
terested spectators. They are willing to help him
if he acts as if he wants help, but they think he
should show that he deserves assistance before they
move they working right along, and can't under
stand why he should not do the same thing. In
course of time the goes to his friends and asks
for job. When they appear lukewarm and un-
interested he says the world is against him and that
he has not been given show. In nine cases out of
ten, it takes years to undo the harm done in the
first few weeks after his release from prison.
Now the question is, is it fair to charge up the
prison life to the work account? Paradoxical as it
seems should it not rather be entered on the other
side of the ledger? During the period of his incar
ceration the has not been fulfilling his duties
toward society, and should he not therefore be the
more strenuous in his efforts to make up for lost
time when he regains his freedom? Does he not
owe it to himself and to his friends to do so? At
any rate, it rests with the man, not with the world
which side the prison life shall be entered on in his
book of life.
Here is another point: The discharged prisoner
almost invariably expects to step out of the peni
Tertiary and be in position to pick up the threads
of his life just where he dropped them before his
convicion he is not content to start at the bottom
Of the ladder more and work his way up, but
wants to jump right onto the rung that was his in
the old days. When he finds this is impossible, he
chafes and cries out against the cruelty of the world
He cannot discriminate between being given an
opportunity to show what he do and being given
absolute confidence He is unreasonable and gives
up at small provocation. Then too, he is perhaps
very conscious of his past record, and goes about
expecting slurs and unkind speeches. In this case
he is to receive them and his life will be very
uncomfortable. It will take him years to learn that
see.
Looking at the matter fairly and impartially, it
appears that the world is not going out of it's way to
push down the who is trying to better himself.
The future of the discharged prisoner to rest
pretty largely with himself At the worst the world
is Indifferent to him and to his affairs, and is quite
as ready to lend him hand up the hill as to push
him down, providing he shows himself deserving of
it, The past is ancient history, valuable only for it's
lesson; the future is in our own keeping.

These samples were taken with a view of getting the average values of this immense outcrop oI deposit of ores, and l believe it would be an easy matter to assort this ore a little, and keep the grade above twenty-five ounces per ton. When we take into consideration the cost of production miners wages at one dollar per day, American money; surface laborers at seventy five cents per day, A m T c il money; and with their cheap process which will treat the ores at small cost, either at or near the proper ties, large profits can be made.
 It would be very difficult to make anything like an accurate estimate of the ores in the Penasco Quemado as there is not sufficient develop ment to show anything like their extent, but judging from the work done and the surface croppings of ore, the supply IS almost inexhaust- ible.
