1t has been announced in a semi
official manner that the St. Paul rail
road company are preparing to build
road from the main line, branching
off near Martinsdale or Dorsey, down
the Smith river valley, across to
Great Falls. A party of seventeen
surveyors have been working over
through that SECTION of Meagher
county for weeks and the official an
nouncement of the new roads build
ing is looked for at any time. If this
road should be built, it will mean a
great deal to the mining industry in
Meagher county and, incidentally, to
number of Lewistown people who
are interested in the development OF
some properties in that county. The
proposed road will pass within three
miles of the Copper State copper mine
which George S. Wells and associates
began to develop about year ago
and in which several Lewistown peo-
pie are heavily interested. The Cop
per State has all the earmarks of a
big copper proposition, the only diff
ficulty thus far being in interesting
monied men in the venture because
the district is such long distance
from a railroad With a road run
ming right by the mine, there is nc
doubt but that the Copper State will
in very short time, make big noise
in the copper mining world and those
who showed their faith by putting
in their money for the development
of the mine will be richly rewarded

Price of Silver Going Up.

The Mining World, speaking of the
drop in the price Of silver last week,
tells the producers to be Of good
cheer, that the worst is over and tha,
the white metal will be soaring be-
fore long
The Mining World says: when
the price of silver dropped to 4o 3-S
cents per fine ounce, the lowest level
since 1908, miners became alarmed
fearing still further reduction. The
reason for the slump is already well
known by those who are interested
in the silver market; it is the con,
tinued absenc of India as buyer and
the selling of the metal by China.
No doubt the increased production OF
silver in Canada and Mexico is also
responsible for the continued weak
ness in the price. To some extent
also spectators have prevented a re-
Mobilization of the market by their
recent activity. We are inclined to
believe that the larger sellers, sucl
as the American Smelling & Refining
company, consider it better policy tc
wait before initiating any market ad.
vance in the price of silver until the
more important consumers have beer
attempted to buy in quantity at the
current low quotation. Rest assured
as soon as buying for consumption
begins, the price of silver will quick
1y rise, perhaps to 60 cents per ounc,
within few months"
The Boston Financial News quote
Sir Moreton Frewen, the Englisl
fnancier and original champion o
silver, as saying: at will not be a
all surprising to me if the price @
silver would jump along about Jar
r.
"Here's what I mean," continue
Sir Moreton. Because of the cor
tinuous decline of the price of silve
the trade of the United States wit
Asia and other countries of the wa
east has dropped down to practical
nothing, and the people of these cour
tries have made it known that the
can no longer continue commerci;
relations because of the unpreceden'
ed low price Of silver.

The ccnimonest fault of programs
Is that they are too long. II the
exhibition is held in the day time
(which ii should be- it may con-
sumo the afternoon session; II at
night no. over two hours.
Having thus arranged the program
the next thing is the preparation.
The time for giving it publicly should
be set not more than three or four
weeks in advance Sufficient time
must be provided for each one to
prepare his part so that school dut-
les will net be seriously interfered
with. When this has elapsed, drills
and reheaysals are in order. These
should receive the very best effort
OF the teacher. His enthusiasm will
inspire the pupils Parents and
friends win expect something worth
while and they must not be dlsap-
pointed.
The advertising committee has
its duties. No cost Of printing need
be incurred. Neat hand bills can
be made with pen or pencil, utiliz-
ing the best talent in the school in
the lettering. A bright picture of
boy speaking mis- piece or Of a little
girl reading her composition will make
1t more interesting. But the best
advertising Is by word OF mouth. No
fear but pupils viii give glowing ac-
counts CT what is coming when their
enthusiasm has been properly aroused
The decorating committee should
do lot Of planning before opera
lions are begun. 1t Is an opportunity
to cultivate taste. When the plans
are complete the whole school or a
special committee may be appointed
to secure supplies. Neatness and
taste are prime essentials in decor
ting. Here is where the teachers

ing directions.
At the proper time a meeting Of

charged. As the time approaches ey-

dening or the like.
It shows The skill and Advancement

is the complement of the exhibition
