the average, as, for instance, the
Golden Fleece tHinsdale county, ore
ran as high as $40 per pound; the
Isolde has taken out ore assaying
1870 ounces gold per ton, and shipped
all last summer ore which ran about
$4O0 per ton in bulk. Then the
runs well over $250.000 per ton, while
the values of the Gold King are equal

THE FARM HELP PROBLEM.

We are not yet through with tho
help problem, and for some strange
reason there is no daylight ahead ap-
parently. 1t is certainly true that the
tide is turning into the country from
the city, but it seems, so far, to be
bringing out the well-to-do people,
and not the field workers. Probably
the tide will bring these out in the
course of few years. immigration
is also enormous, but where are the
immigrants settling? One million are
promised lis for 1903. but the bulk OF
them must be dropping into the cities.
except those Swedes, Norwegians and
others who go to sepcial sections,
where their countrymen are. domin-
ant. There is one solution for the
problem, and that is cutting up our
farms and working fewer acres on
more scientific principles.-E. P.
Powell
There is another solution and a
more probable one. The well-to-do
people in the cities took the field
workers there by offering higher
wage and a more interesting life.
They will take the city workers back
to the fields by the higher wage in
part and more by the greater COM
fort they will be able to offer In the
country.
