BILLY rKE KID COMES
IN WITH RICH STAKE

Another shoot of ore has been de-
veloped on the Billy the Kid, in the
original shaft where the new owners,
the Ruby Wonder Mining company,
have been doing some additional ex-
ploration work. A second streak of
characteristic quartz has been struck,
and four inches of it runs $1,100 to the
ton; these same values were encoun-
tered at the surface early in the history
of this property, when Higgins took an
assay of $1.1S5; later a 12-inch vein of
$27S ore was opened at the 35-foot level,
and this latest streak Of high grade is
on the same level.
Pending the arrival Of the 25-h.p.
gasoline hoist that has been ordered
for this property, the company has
trenched the main ledge at intervals on
the surface for 5000 feet, and the aver
age assay is $3.50. This work is for the
purpose OF determining the site of the
main working shaft which is to be
started in a very few days.. A large
punk house is being erected for the
miners. and the force will be largely in
creased as soon as the quarters are
ready.-Wonder News.

SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES.
Two vital Things for the Welfare Of
the Masses.

There is wisdom in the old slogan,
"a school on every hill top and a
church in every valley" Citizens of
the United States may we'll feel proud
Of the great educational system which
makes it possible for all classes TO ac-
quire the proper mental cultivation.
They may also feel proud of the re-
ligious liberty that each and every
citizen enjoys. There is no estab-
lished church to interfere with the
free exercise of conscience, neither is
there any law that interferes with the
exercise of religious belief
The United States can be looked
upon as a nation where schools and
churches flourish to the fullest. The
public school system is one of the
most perfect that civilization has yet
evolved. OF course there are COM
munities where local conditions are
not so favorable for schools as other
places 1t will be observed that the
more important is the city or the
town, the more advanced are the edu-
cational facilities offered the people.
The residents of rural communities
have their state or district school, the
curriculums of which are restricted.
1t is to the nearby town that the chill
dren who are residents of the farm
districts must look for their higher
education, which is necessary prep
aration for entry into college, and for
business life. How important it is,
then, to the resident of the farm dis
trict that his home town be an active
place and of sufficient business i'm
portance to justify the maintenance of
a high class school! 1t can be seen
how each resident of farming COM
munity should be interested in the
home town and all that pertains to its
upbuilding. If on no other account,
purely on account of the educational
facilities.
Running parallel in Importance with
the schools are the churches. The
better the home town the better are
the church buildings, and the greater
is the talent that fills the pulpit. Both
schools and churches have education
al qualities that should not be lightly
valued. They mean the highest men
tai and moral development, and upon
this development depends the good
citizenship and the advancement and
! perpetuation of the nation.

OVERLOOKED OPPORTUNITIES.
Chances in Average Small Town for
ProfitabIy Engaging in Business.

According to the United States CEN
sus of 1900 there was produced in the
United States 1893, ,662,433 dozen eggs
The same statistics give the annual
production of poultry at 250,623,1 ia
The butter made on farms each year
is in excess of 1,000,000000 pounds
The cheese made on farms averages
about 20000,000 pounds annually
These statistics are interesting, and
with each farmer growing poultry and
eggs and making butter and cheese. il
hardly seems possible that such com
binations as dairy trusts and egg and
poultry trusts could exist, but that
they do is nevertheless a fact
Every small town in farming dis
trict can command sufficient butter,
egg and poultry trade to support a
prosperous exclusive produce estab-
lishment. The practice has generally
obtained in agricultural districts of
storekeepers in various lines taking
farmers produce in exchange for
goods. The produce thus received by
merchants is forwarded to the com.
mission houses in the large city, and
these houses are factors that make it
possible to maintain trusts in the pro
duce business. 1t appears that if each
town had its exclusive produce estab.
lishment to buy what the farmer has
to sell instead of the produce going
through the local stores, that better
prices could be paid the farmers and
the business made most profitable
one if rightly conducted.
According to the natural laws OF
business industry succeeds best where
advantages are most abundant Thus
it seems that the produce offers a
most excellent field in the majority OF
agricultural towns

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
Millions of Dollars Annually Saved to
the Farmers of the United States.

One of the most important move
ments that has been inaugurated of
recent years, and which has resulted
in wonderful benefit to the people is
the good roads movement. Within the
United States there are approximately
about 100000 farmers. If during a
year each of those farmers can be
saved $40 in time, or in wear and tear
upon horses and wagons by means of
improved roads, it means a saving of
$S0,000,000 annually; bHt the truth is
that the improved roads that have
been built up the past half dozen years
through agitation of the good roads
movement saves each farmer In the
land from $50 to 500. Thus it can be
seen that the savings brought about
through this movement aggregate hun
dreds of millions of dollars each year.
Good roads are important to the
progressive town. This fact has be-
come SO recognized that wherever
there exists a live agricultural town
its citizens will be found to be staunch
advocates of road improvement, and
there is a civic pride and friendly com
petition in the matter of having good
roads leading to the towns. The work
of road Improvement has only fairly
begun. A number of state legislatures
the next dozen years great changes
will be wrought as to the building and
maintenance of public highways.

At Sea In a Coffin.

1t was the French assassin Lupi who
escaped to sea from Cayenne in cof-
fin. He managed to get some nails,
tar and cotton, and one dark night he
got into the coffin shed. He selected a
fine, stanch and seaworthy coffin and
fastened the lid in order to turn it into
a deck, leaving n cockpit sufficient to
enable him to crawl in. He calked all
the joints rs well rs he could, and
when this work was finished he made
q pair of paddles out of two planks.
Then he brought out his craft with
great precaution. Without much diff
