DREDGING OUTFIT BUYS
GOLD NUGGET AT DALE

SAN BERNARDINO. Dec. 17.-Four
local men have just disposed of some
valuable placer mining property in the
Dale district in Riverside county to
Charles Fairfrou, who is head of the
gold dredging operations in the Colo
rado river between Yuma and the Nee
dies. The mine sold is known as the
Gold Nugget and has not been worked
further than to develop sufficiently to
demonstrate that it contains much
gold.
According to the terms Of the agree
ment the purchaser is to install an eX-
pensive plant for working the claim
within ninety days and as soon as op-
erations are begun is to pay the out
put to the old owners until $500 has
been paid, and in addition 10 per cent
royalty, and in case this agreement is
not lived up to the mine together with
all it's machinery is to revert to the
original owners.

MAYFL OVER AT RHY0LITE
SUSPENDS OPERATIONS

RHYOLITE, Dec. 1.-THE Mayfow-
er. has ceased operations. The mine
was producing ore Of fair grade up
to the full capacity of the 15-stamp
mill But owing to lack of funds the
development has not kept pace with
the production, and it is now found
impossible to continue production at
the past rate.
A large amount of money has been
spent in erecting the new mill and
other expensive equipment. Payment
for these has all been guaranteed by
the president of the company, A. c.
Eisen. 1t is said that Mr.. Eisen has
gone as far as he will in the matter
and in view of the annual meeting held
December 10 it was decided to close
down at the present time in order to
call the attention of the stockholders
to the necessity of making provision
for the underground development re-
quired.

River Country-Tarasca Mine
Resumes Work

The San Juan mine at San Javter,
Sonora, Mexico, has been purchased
by Los Angeles and New York people
for 100000 United States currency.
The same mine was sold about a year
ago for 100000. the great advance in
the present price being due, 1t is said
to recently discovered prospects on
the property and the increased mining
activity prevailing in the state OF
Sonora.
S. ogden of Los Angeles is said to
have been the promoter Of the deal,
being associated with several New
York capitalists. A. first payment OF
$4,000 was made at the time the pa
pers were signed, and the terms were
liberal.
The San Juan property comprises
fifty pertenencias and is SAID 10 be
one of the best silver and lead propo-
sitions in the Yaqui river country.
The buyers are now making arrange
ments to operate the mine and actual
work will begin practically at once.
The same people have taken options
on mines in La Dura, also in the Haqu
river country. One of these mines
is owned by Charles A. Wilson, for
merly of Colorado, and is for $4,000
The other option Is on q Hilut OWiS4
by II. A. Wood and is for $4,000,

The beginning Of 1903 finds the Baltl-
more and Ohio in better physical cond ton
than ever b.N re in its history. The termi-
nal Improvement work. bridge construc-
ton ana extensions under way at the be-
ginning of the period Of depression have
been continued during the year. The most
extensive consummation during the l.
months was the completion of the new
line through Wheeling and an imposing
new passenger station and terminals In
Wheeling. at a cost Of more than $1,000. 600.
Work on the. .Susquehanna river bridge
was stopped by a sudden collapse Of part
of the structure in the summer. The cause
for this has not been satisfactorily ac-
counted for, some still believing It re-
suited from the use Of dynamite by van
dals. The work of reconstruction was
Immediately begun by the American
Bridge Company, and is progressing satis-
factorily.
During the year December approxi-

largest in its history-and a decrease of

THE OLD FELLows-BLEss THEM.

C now it is the old professors, the aged teach
~ ers those to whom we have been accustomed
TO look for counsel and wisdom. that must walk
the chalk line, hguratvely speaking. This move
ment has been started in the West with the Uni
yesity of Minnesota as its headquarters. The
regents of that University have decided that all
the professors who have reached the age of sixty
five years shall be retired-in plain English
fired. There appears to be no provision for pen
sionng these worthless or for making them hon
orary professors with the right TO teach once IN
awhile. The old fellows may be able to gather
in a few crumbs from the Carnegie Teachers
Fund, but that matters not TO the able regents
who, although they have set the limit beyond
the Osler age, still think that when a man reaches
sxty-fve his usefulness a teacher IS gone
And yet the late Senator Morgan, spry and alert
AT almost eighty. was able to hold his own in the
Senate, and wasn't it the aged Pettus, of Ala
bama, that gave the youthful and aspiring Beve
ridge dressing down." We had supposed that
while the old fellows were showed aside in most
places, they would be able TO hold on as long,
as they wished in the ranks of teaching. But
the Minnesota movement is likely TO extend
The younger teachers, the fellows of sef-con-
hdence of assurance often of novel notions and
considerable misinformation are TO direct the
paths of the youth. Well, il may be all right
and it may not be. We should much prefer the
counsel of the elderly in scholarship Who for
instance would not take the opinion OF a Keen
of Philadelphia, or of the late Agnew even when
they were advanced in years rather than the
opinion OF the "up-to-date' young surgeon who
II one hints at pain in ones side telephones for
the automobile and wants TO rush ono off TO the
hospital for an appendicitis operations And then
we fancy that some of MS would not prefer the
legal advice Of the younger bloods among the
lawyers to that of the elderly. There are some
things in which age really ought to count
OF course the regents of the universities may
think that the younger professors know it all, but
II they do they don't show that profound knowl-
edge in the text books or other works they
write.
We doubt whether our scholarship has kept
pace with our progress in material things
The regents should pension the old fellows
and let them devote themselves to living in COM
fort let them pass the remainder of their days
in giving to the world the benefit Of their ripe
learning, garnered through years OF experience
and toll.
Perhaps however in Minnesota, the regents
have noticed the advertisements of one of our
standard encyclopedias which pictures as tine
"man who knows a kid who has been called
upon by a grave council Of elderly men 70 tell
'hem what to do, and give them information
book information. Then, maybe, the regents
really concluded that the kid is the one who
krows.

on the subject Of woman. the gulf be-

profound one. The novelists. for instance,

tim Professor zueblin. on the other hand,
can never forget that woman is to man a
mere chattel, and that often when he
thinks he is vindicating his offended
sense OF honor he is really vlndcating his
outraged sense OF private property. On
general grounds. one would be inclined
TO side with the soclologists who know
so much more than the others do But 1t
is hard to find a justification of their
chattel theories In fact Professor Zueblin
must be aware that IN Pittsburg, where
the property instinct is most highly de-
veloped, men show comparatively little
reluctance to part with their wives. Tho
very fact that we have set up n high
standard OF conduct for women and pun
ish its infraction severely is complete
proof that a wife is not something pos
sessed, but something possessing. Slave
owners never concern themselves with
the morals OF their slaves; but people are
almost invariably interested in the morals

DEPENDENT CHILD CONFERENCE

/ AURlNG his administration, the President
has shown a keen interest in all those
problems that are involved in social life and
work. Conferences OF all sorts have been held
IN Washington designed to improve the actual
everyday life of the people and such gatherings
have always had the hearty support of the Pres
ident
One OF the most important of the conferences
to be held on these subjects will soon be assem-
bled in Washington This conference relates
chiefly to child labor and the care OF children
who are dependent, destitute friendless or I'M
fortunate. What is he State doing to aid them
and what is the State doing to lessen the evils
OF child labor? These questions are being asked
by those who have the future of the country in
mind. 1t cannot be said that the nation is do
ing what it should do. Dependent children have
few courts to look after them. The establishing
OF juvenile courts-a matter that Dr. Kellogg
discussed ably at Grace Church recently
will be considered at the conference. The volun-
tary agencies and organizations that care for
children could be materially assisted by juvenile
courts
The call for the child conference speaks of the
need of enforcing certain standards in institu-
tions TO which children are committed. Oppres-
sion should be prevented and every kind Of eff
fort should be made to see that the neglected
children are educated both mentally and NOR
ally
Our schoolsof course, are doing great work
in this connection and all the time extending
their field, as is evidenced by the movement for
the medical examination of children of which
Superintendent Twitmyer spoke in the recent
report of our schools; but there are still hum
dreds of thousands of neglected children who
may furnish the classes from which criminals are
recruited
The conference at Washington therefore, will
result in stimulating the interest in dependent
children and as such it is worthy of the support
of all those who realize the need of energetic ac-
ton in the solution of the social problems which
confront the people

Cabinet or Debating Society.
Boston Transcript
Proposals for the creation of new cabi-
net departments are quite as plentiful as
the suggestion of men for places in the old
ones. The cabinet now numbers nine
members. II Is proposed IN one quarter
OF another to have a secretary Of labor,
dividing Mr. Straus' department.; Sec
rotary of mines, glorfying and enlarging
the Geological Survey; secretary of ed
ucation, spreading out a bureau which
now has lttle to do; q secretary of the
public health, which would be a long step
In paternalism; a secretary OF public
works, John Hays Hammond's plan. elc.
While all these pro 4ec.s might be wise IN
themselves, one purpose of the cabinet
would be defeated il it were made much
larger than IL is now. If il became q de-
batting society It would lose the atmo-
sphere that now makes # most service
able to the President
Everybody who has an ak to grind in
stantly thinks OF creating a federal de-
partment To press on the treadle. Pro-
fessional friends of labor want a labor
department as measure of their friend
ship TO the trade unionist. Educational
specialists want an educational depart
ment, and so on. The trouble with the
new department, when once set in mo-
tion. is that something must always be
found for them TO do. and this means
new and often unnecessary legislation
which would not otherwise be thought Of.
