Sax0ny to Close Silver Mines

One of the oldest and best known
silver mines in Europe, that of Frei-
berg in Saxony, is soon to be perma-
nently closed, after a long continued
and practically uninterrupted period of
exploitation, dating back to 1853.
During these past centuries the rich
veins have formed one of the most val
liable sources of income of the royal
house of Saxony. Since the serious de-
probation In the value of silver it has
become more and more manifest that it
was economically impossible to compete
with the richer ores of America. For
several years past instead of yielding
revenue the mines have been operated
at a serious loss to the state. For the
current year the deficit is $220,000
Working operations have gradually
been restricted and the output steadily
lessened. The value of the silver mined
in 1905 was only s2s5,0o0. The mines
would have been closed before this had
the Saxon government not shrunk from
exposing the large mining population
OF Freiberg to the misery sure to fol-
low complete cessation of work. On
April 2S the Saxon minister of finance
announced. however, that the mines
would be definitely closed in 1913. Many
of the older miners in the employ of
the state will be pensioned, and every
effort will be made to lessen the eco
non1ic effects following necessarily
upon the final execution of this de-
cision.
Interesting in this connection, and i'm
dicative of the genuinely paternal in
stinct at the basis of many govern
mental features in Germany, is this
careful provision to prevent suffering
to the families and the community as a
result of the relentless working of nat
ural economic laws.
The many Americans who have
gained their metallurgical training in
the 'Bergakademie,r or school of mines.
at Freiberg will welcome the decision
of the Saxon government to still MAIN
tain this valuable Institution.

Goods in Germany

Up to within perhaps 10 years no
practical test of the possibility of CO.
education had been made in Germany,
but recently the school authorities in
the grand duchy of Baden have made a
trial of its possibilities, and the ex-
pertinent is looked upon with consid-
erable interest by the school authori-
ties in other parts of the empire. From
a recent official report the Cologne
Gazette makes the following deduc-
tions, showing to what extent the fe-
male sex has entered the gymnasiums,
real" and other middle schools Of
Baden, in order that they may obtain
a higher education:
While the number of girls who at
tended the boys schools in the school
year 1912 was only 426, this number
has Increased threefold during the last
school year. Therefore, the opinion of
the higher school officials excites the
greatest interest about the coeducation
of the sexes In the higher schools of
the dukedom. In the last number of
the official school report the chairman
OF the board of school directors of the
report on the conditions since the adj
mission of the girls to the boys mid
die schools. All of the school prin-
cipals admit the capability Of the girls
and their ability ito comply with the
courses of study, and in many cases
the greater diligence and intelligent
interest of the girls in many special
subjects was observable; besides their
presence in the classes exerted very
favorable influence on the conduct OF
the boys. An excellent effect was noted
in the behavior and appearance of the
male pupils caused by the girls greater
punctuality, order conscientiousness
and attention, as well as the natural
refinement of the sex There had been
no breaks in the discipline noted and
nowhere had the morals of the pupils
been in any way endangered through
the intermingling of the sexes in the
schoolroom.
Although the report of the Baden
authorities has been favorable to the
bringing into closer connection in mat
ters Of education of the sexes, it is
not apparent anywhere outside of
Baden that any progress has been
made toward admitting girls to the
same school with boys or even to give
them the same courses of study.

There are humorists in the Santa Fe
freight department, though none would
ever imagine it from their austere
countenances.
There are men in that office whose
souls shudder at the use of the split
infinitive, and for an error in spelling
no excuse can save the ignorant from
a severe reprimand.
William Berman's blonde locks have
grown many shade paler since TO his
many other duties has been added the
task of hunting up errors in grammar
Now B. +. Mcdaniel. the great bear
hunter of Sonoma county. who while
not pursuing wildcats and mountain
lions or staying bears, hunts freight
for the Santa Fe, is too busy man
to care for the niceties of spelling
Mcdaniel says he can spell any old
word in any number of ways, and no
kick comes from his correspondents in
the country, but when letter falls
into the hands of the OrthographlSt or
the Santa Fe then they get witty.
Read this letter." said McDannall,
as he handed out one of the documents
he had received recently. I'D just like
to see the man who wrote that letter
treed by bear. What would he do
then? Just look at that letter"
1 return you herewith request for rate on
steaks. e are not positively informed with
respect to current prices but our Mr.. Berman,
who is very fond OF this deiicacy, advises as
follows: Porterhouse, % cents per pound; sir
loin. is cents per pound; round, 10 cents per
pound.
It has just been suggested. however, that
while your expense account shows porterhouse
that you are actually eating hamburger at 5
cents per pound. A plentiful mixture OF onions
and garlic will reduce the flavor which comes
from long standing in the meat market so that
you can approach 1t with temerity.
The rate on grape stakes, however, from Clover
dale TO Fresno, Is $3.50 per ton, minimum 80, 600
pounds. This commodity is not considered as
much of delicacy as hamburger.
