The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1907-05-03

AT the board meeting of the Young
Wnman's Christian Association Tues
day the total membership numbered
eighty-three. A permanent board will
be elected the last of May. The ladies
seem encouraged in their work and
are planning to begin Mission Study
aud Bible Glasses as soon as possible.
Last Thursday evening Rev. l.. n.
Thompson made good talk to the
members, and was very ably assisted
in entertaining the young people by
Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Thomas, as
well as Miss Moore.
The question has been asked, can a
Y. W. G, A, succeed in a small town.
The following small towns are con-
ductiug Y. W, C. AS, many of them
having no industrial pursuits: Boone,
Iowa; Bar Harbor, Maine; Austin.
Minnesota; Watervlle, Minnesota;
Westield, n. Y. Woonsocket, S. ID.
and Beaver Dam, Wis. The Boone,
Iowa, is the smallest in the L. S.,
bat Notwithstanding this fact, last year
they had 16, 900 to their Rest Room.
The strong points in favor of Asso-
ciaticns in small towns are the need
for Christian intercourse among the
women of the various churchcs the
encouragement that it gives in Bible
and Mission study; the need Of finding
out what girls are leaving the towns to
work in larger cities and get them in
touch with Christians in the larger
cities Wherever there are manulac-
turing interests aud women employed,
some form OF Y W. G.. A. work must
be necessary.

PREPARING TO BUILD
PINE SCHOOL. HousE

held last Monday night for the purpose
of considering the matter of a special
school tax of so cents on the 500. The

on the Mazuma Hills that Mr.. Harris
says will run $50 a pound.
Mr.. Harris returned from the Seven
Troughs district a week ago and says
he was surprised at the wonderful show
ing of a large number of properties
there. Among the properties that he
places in the list of those having ship
ping ore are the following: Mazuma
Hills. Seven Troughs Fairview, Seven
Troughs Thieren, Seven Troughs Bad

WONDER
Has the Opportunities Today that
Coldfield Offered Three Years Ago
THE BOON IS ON

Three years ago, investors bought stock in Goldfeld for 10, Is and
25 cents a share. These stocks have advanced to $100, $500 and as high
as $50 a share. The opportunity period invariably precedes the era Of
production, because a producing camp does not care for speculation. This
was true of Cripple Creek, Leadvi1e, Clear Creek and Gilpin aud the San
Juan. I'll is true of all old camps. Take Ton.pah-it is a heavy producer,
and its stocks are traded in less than they were three years ago. Gold
field offers new opportunities, but it il one of the world greatest gold
producers today, and lei and women are looking for new opportunities
to buy low and ride up o the tide to big profit.

A shaft has been sunk so feet and a tunnel driven

MINERAL SHOWING

The mineral showing on the group is equal, if not
greater, to that of any property to be found in any of
the districts in Nevada and California. 1t is traversed
by numerous well defined lodges, ranging from several
inches to several feet in width on the surface. As a
matter of fact, the ground presents to view a veritable
network of lodges and veins. The principal ledge, six
feet five inches wide, outcrops prominently, and grab
