hleH scnool NOTES

The editor of the Recorder found oc-
casion last week in commenting upon a
"stock paragraph" that has been going
the rounds of a certain class of newspa.
pers the past two weeks, said paragraph
purporting to be a stand" taken by a
certain western superintendent to the
effect that pupils should not study at
home. to criticise the management Of the
Dickinson public schools, stating that
toe much home study was required Of the
pupils. All up.to-da,e school men recog-
nize the fact that pupils up to a certain
age should not be required to do home
study but they do not find it necessary To
make a newspaper stand" of it. If our
worthy critic will investigate he will fine
that it is not necessary or advised that
pupils in our schools below the 9th grade
do any home study, and that under nor
NAL conditions pupils in the 9th, 9TH and
9Th grades should not find it necessary
to prepare more than one lesson at home.
1t is not the school work that hurts the
children. Seven, hours of hard school

hours between Q and IL p. m. that should
be spent in bed, he will either break
down or fall behind his grade. See that
your boy and girl gets ten hours of good
restful sleep and three meals OF whole

never worry about his public school
duties hurting him.

young women from Montevideo, Mimi,

Miss Minnie Rosendahl of Fayettc takes
up her studies with the Freshmen.
The total enrolment in the public
schools is considerably over 500, i6o Of
which are enrolled in South Dickinson.
1t has been necessary to divjde> Miss
Thomson's grade into wv sections. The
~congested condition on that side will be
relieved as soon as equipment for new
rooms can be put into place.
1t has been found necessary on ac-
count of lack oil adequate recitation
rooms to 'ivide the high school into two
sections. The high school proper closes
at 1890. The 9Th grade comes at
l o'clock and spends the afternoon in
recitation. The arrangement is not ideal
but under the circumstances it is about
the onlything that al be done.
The death of William McKeever casts
a gloom over the whole school, especially
in his own grade, the 9TH. Willie was
one of the bright boys Of that grade and
universally liked. The 9th and 9TH
grades expect to attend the funeral in a
body. R. L. DAVIDSON.

Buying the Gifts.

Of course there are a lot Of fore
handed people who have already 3'r-
chased the greater part of their Christ
mas gifts and have therefore nothiE.
more to worry about this year. But
the great majority Of unfortunatcs
have scarcely begun to think about
what they will buy or give. The shop
ping problem is the difficulty with some,
some haven't time and others naturally
wait until the last minute anyway.
These people all have much to be said
in excuse of their hardness, but they
are laying up for themselves a bad
spell OF worry and anxiety bye and
bye.
The wisest way is to start right in
now and do most of the Christmas
buying before the rush really, COM
mehces. The comparatively few who
do this every year have the cream Of
the merchants stocks to pick from,
while the late corners have only what is
left from which to choose. If you
start in now and do little shopping
every day, It won't be long before the
task is done. If you wait until just be-
fore Christmas it is doubtful if it is
ever done to your satisfaction. Read
ers of the Journal will, of course. know
where the best Christ mas bargains are
to be found. You will find something
to direct you and make the task easier
from day to Gay in the advertising COL

Mrs. Sarah e. Laid.

Early Monday morning there passed
peacefully to the Great Beyond a mem
Der of one Of the oldest families of our
city. Mrs. Sarah E. Ladd, widow Of
Joseph +. Ladd and daughter of the
Ladd was lightweight years, six
months. at the time of her death, which
resulted from a short illness OF bron-
chial pneumonia, having been born
May IS, 1915, in the house at 1872 State
street, which has been her home dur
ing the greater part of her long life.
She was the second of a family Of
nine children. the only one now living
being a sister, Miss Anna A. Potter,
who has been her constant companion,
| ana, together with daughter Miss
Anna p. Ladd, has tenderly ministered
to her in her long invalidsm. About
| fifteen years ago Mrs. Ladd had the
| misfortune to meet with an accident
| which caused her lameness, and later
in life was still more previously afflicted
by the gradual loss of sight, but even
with these deprivations she was ever
cheerful and showed an interest in
matters pertaining ITO the affairs of the
city and particularly OF the South
Parish Congregational church, Of
| which she was one of the Oldest men,
bers. She had many friends, not only
those of mature years, who had known
her in her youth. but also among the
young people. who enjoyed their fire.
quent calls upon this aged lady, whose
sweet resignation amid her physical
Affections. and interest in the outside
world from which she was barred, was
a constant inspiration to them.

Report Of the Del Monte Mines for
May and June, 1908.
JACKSON, CAL, June 3, 100


JACKSON, CAL, June 3, 1903.
To the Subscribers and Stock holders:-
The Supt. reports for the two months
ending May 3lst as follows:
Total cross-cut tunnel run in two
months, 81 fest.
Total cost, $977.64.
Cost per foot, S14.74
Total working time, AZ days of two
shifts.
Total length of tunnel June 1st, 788 IT,.
Upraise and drifts in old works.
1922. 20.
Roads and bitches, $1,000.
Water for two months, S100.
Superintendence, general, 800.
Work on the cross-cut tunnel has
continued in extremely hard formation
for the last rs feet, the rock proving so
refractory that with our utmost efforts
we have at times almost despaired of
being able to penetrate it. Our New
Ingersoll drill, which represents the
highest efficiency of piston drill, was
unable to meet the requirements in the
hard rock. so we made test of the
new Model Water Leyner drill. Upon
securing proper equipment for operat-
ing this drill, we believe that we will be
enabled to secure greater efficiency and
at reduced expense.
The high footage cost shown by the
last two months work is explained by
the increasing difficulty in dealing with
rock of extreme hardness, at a con-
siderable distance under ground; the
greater distance required to tram the
waste causing an increase of faotage
cost.
The superintendent reports that the
last shifts, operating with the Leyner
drill, made encouraging progress,
owing to the higher efficiency of the
drills and the improving character of
the rock, which in the last eight feet
has become lighter and more easily
worked.
The consensus of opinion among
miners here is that the hard reef of
quartzite just passed through is an en-
couraging indication, and that good
values should exist back of such a
formation, The appearance of the
rock in the last eight feet shows the
laminations of such trend as to indi-
cate the approach to ledge. The
same conclusions may be derived from
the increasing moisture at the face.
We regret to be obliged to report
the destruction of our blacksmith shop
and considerable portion of it's con-
tents by fire, on the night of June 3Oth
about 12 O. clock, while the night shift
was on duty. The cause of the fire is
unknown, but it was probably due to
the igniting of waste from candle
snuff left by one of the men. The loss
will not exceed $500.
The regular meeting of the stock
holders of the company will be held on
Monday, July 6, 1908, at 2 o'clock p. m.

Almond Culture in Amader County.


1t has been demonstrated by S. G.
Wheeler of Plymouth that the almond
industry is profitable business. Mr..
Wheeler's farm is located two miles
east of Plymouth, at the foot of the
ridge before entering Shenandoah Val
ley. He has 220 bearing almond trees
of VARIOUS varieties. They are ten
years old, and commenced to bear the
fourth year. Last season two tons OF
nuts were harvested from this orchard,
and were readily sold at ten cents a
pound to a local market; thus realiz-
ing S400 off of two and one half acres of
land. This crop was produce without
irrigation. The trees have never been
irrigated at any time since they were
planted. The trees never have re-
ceived any extra care such as spraying,
etc, Pruning and piowing twice in a
season has been all the attention that
the orchard has received 1t is well
known that almonds find a ready
market at any time, and are easily
packed and shipped.
The soil on which these trees are
grown is in common with the land in
that portion of the county, and thou
sand of acres of such land could be put
to profitable use. $160 an acre is
what this orchard is paying it's owner
every year. What industry can make
better showing than this? We hope
the farmers of Amador will profit by
Mr.. Wheeler's example and experience
by taking up this important industry,
and share in it's revenue and the COM
forts incidental to we'll filled purse.
