NAVAJO COAL MINES OPENING.

The Indian mine across the river
from mere is being opened and put In
shape by Harry Evans. The vein is
an extension of the one on the north
side of the river, and ontcrops for
sixty niles south and averages 3 feet
thick. At present but seven feet is
being worked.
When Mr.. Shelton first came here, a
little over a year ako, the Indians car
ried the coal out on their backs to
the mesa above. bnt ne had an over
seer put in charge, and built them a
good driveway to the mine. The
coal is mined for the Indians benefit,
being free for all, and most of them
at present are coal burners, which
perhaps is one stage of civilization.
Fruitland is becoming noted for its
various deposits. Coal, lime. iron ore,
elaierite and building stone are but a
few. A fine quality of fire clay is
also found in immense beds.
The S. p. survey follows these de
posifs for nearly a hundred miles
from the La Plata on the north TO six

Y. M. c. A. BUILDING.

It will be built in Durango.
Bang! Zip! Boom
Fifty-three members in five min
utes.
Subscription list started with a rush
You should have heard them boost
for Durango.
At the meeting called at the First
Methodist church to consider the erec-
tion of Y. NJ. C. A. building for Du-
range. enthusiasm reigned fifty-three
men becoming members. Ways and
means were discussed: everybody
talked and sometimes all tried to talk
at once.
The subscription list was started by
+. C. Perkins. who was followed by
Judge Houx. 1t is proposed to es-
tablish building equipped with swim
ming pool, gymnasium and bowling al
ley; library and school room. also aud
itorium; and a number of rooms to
rent to members and to transients.
The ground floor of the building will
be arranged for business purposes.
The boys are having the advice and
assistance of several of Durango's
best business men, beside that of the
officers of the state association. The
meeting was called by A. w. Cornell,
who has been appoined one of the
state secretaries,
In many eastern cities of 10000 to
$4,000 population there are buildings
costing from $4,000 to 5000. 900, own
ed and occupied by the Y. NJ. C. A.
These are both commodious and at
tractive and many of them are the
sources of considerable revenue. To
such a building the citizens and mem
hers of the association can point with
pride. and they take considerable
pains, when showing a stranger the
points of interest In their city, to
show off the elegance of the home of
one of the grandest institutions for
Young men In the world today-that of
the Young Mems Christian associa-
tion.
Churches do their work fraternal
organizations have task to perform;
charitable organizations assist in car
ing for the poor and unfortunate; nos
pitals administer to the sick and
manned but the Young Mems Chris
tian association does more than all
these put together; 1t upbuilds the
character of the young man and teach
es MIN the right way to lead purer
and nobler life, while at the same
time it teaches him to look after the
physical body. Here young men can
always be sure of welcome. A
stranger comes to the city and If he
wishes place to read, to write or to
meet someone who will take an inter
desires If he calls at the Y. NJ. C. A.
He might secure the same welcome
at church, but the latter is not al
ways open. Then, If it was, he would
wish to go to the church of his faith
and might have to make a great many
inquiries before the one he mas been
used to worshipring In Is located.
Not SO with the Y. NJ. C. A., as it
knows no creed and its latchstring is
always on the outside. Here he is CIV
EN- hearty welcome and he will be
sure~to make associations of which he
will not blush when writing of them
TO his parents. But an institution of
this kind should have home that is
an ornament to the city and a fitting
monument to the progressiveness of
those who are back of the work and
whose endeavors make 1t possible to
exist.
By all means let us help the move.

hat the law holds them responsible
or the conduct of their children.
Colorado is ahead of most states in
er delinquent parent law.

law. When it is shown to be the fault
u the parent or guardian that a child
is guilty of violating the law the par.
ent may be fined or imprisoned.
At the next county teachers meet.
ing the subject of truancy will be dis.
cussed.
Teachers are agltating this mos.
lion; they feel more and more that
they must have the cooperation of the
parents in their efforts to helm the
children. If the parents do not give
this help the laws of our state oan
compel them.
