Mining Matters
 in the Dragons

The Empire Gold-Copper Mining company, operating the Princess group of mines near DragOon station, this county. is opening up .s splendid property. The entire bottom of the double compartment shaft being sunk by the company is in ore of rich cop per sulphides The showing cer. tsinly looks good for the stockholders and is another st,p towards corrob- orsting the statement of the govern ment geologist made some months ago that tremendous ore bodies un- derlie that region
 Parties recently arriving in fomb- stone from Johnson camp report great activity in assembling material for the new smelter. The grading for the shelter is about completed and a car load of cement has arrived to lay the foundations, Carpenters are erecting ore bins and everything points to the early readiness for actual operation of the plant.
 Many parties have prospects in the district that will pay their way from the present openings by having a smelter at hand ready to buy ore as fast as 6 wagon load is mined. Great prosperity is looked for whenever the s nelter begins to buy ore.
 On the Chico.a property of the Ari- zons United Mines Co. an exceedingly rich strike was made. Assays of the ore show l5 per cent copper and 75 per cent silver to the ton. Consider able excitement is on in the camp over the strike. old miners have been predicting for years that the next big excitement in the southwest would be at Johnson and from late developments their predictions are coming t-ue.

The committee of principals appointed
by Superintendent Brumbaugh to sim

of supefiptendents will frame up cur

The new course will be based on the
simple rules of arithmetic which will he
of most service to the child in after life,
and will aim to give Youngsters in the
lower grades less process of reasoning
and more simplified counting.
The necessary evil of fractions will not

complicated forms of arithmetic will he
abandoned altogether.

Criticism of the Brewery Business

the whole people own and operate the
drink industry as well as other indus
tries.
In the next column Of your paper, Jas.
j. Hill, president of the Great Northern
Railway, says: 1--WE need more farming
and better farming, and to obtain these
we must have agricultural education and
profits big enough to get and keep good
men in the business. The more profitable
and scientific farming is the more good
farmers we shall have"
Here's an opportunity for the steel
trust to invest some of their surplus pro-
fits. They could farm the real farmer on
A large scale even as Jas. j. Hill does
with his railway If Mr.. Hills profits
were not so big the farmers profits might
be big enough now to keep good men in
the business.
Just think of the average wage-earn-
er starting in the farming business.
What kind of farm machinery could be
buy from the harvester trust after buy
ing the land? And don't you think it
would be labor wasted to have him work
with the tools that he could afford to
buy?
Why not have all the people own the
farms collectively and furnish the farm
ers with all the latest improved ma
chinerv, even as the public furnishes
better turnpikes for use than private
individuals do for profit? And why not
have the people collectively own the
means of transporting farm products
to the markets, also the markets where
people could buy at the labor cost of the
products?
When the whole people furnish the
land and latest improved machinery
necessary to farm the land scientifically,
those who now work OIL the farms can
produce twice the wealth in half the
time.
All big business men think of is big
profits. Reader, are you content TO
keep handing them over to enrich
few? If not, why not help change the
system?
Isn't it strange to see the price Of
everything going up but postage stamps?
Did you ever think of what causes these
things?
You will notice that more profit is
the incentive to get more men to go to
farming, yet, if the workers got the
full product of their labor some people
tell us they would never work. What
do you think about it?

WORKERS SHOULD PRODUCE
BEER, IF THEY NEED 1T


Editor The Press:-In your last issue
you say: In one Pennsylvania county
$4,000 persons are dependent upon the
coke ovens of the United States Steel
Co. for their living. There the plan TO
control employees drinking propensities
is to be tried on a larger scale, for the
Steel Co. has bought up al 1.-The breweries
in the county and will prohibit the sale
of beer in bulk. Not only this, but the
company will limit the sale of beer eN-
cept in glasses and in its own saloons" ;"
What do you think the owners of the
"Steel Trust" would say, should some
power tell them that hereafter all wines,
champagnes and other fancy drinks can
no longer be bought in cases-in bulk
but must be bought by the glass IN
places designated by such power? Don't
you think they would make a noise like
a howl?
Let us see if we can find motive to
stir the steel Trust" to embark in the
beer business. They are in the steel bus
mess for profit. Can it be possible they
are pushed to find place to invest
some of the profits of the steel business
in some one else's business to make more
profits!
Sober workmen produce more wealth
for the steel trust than workers full of
"booze" These workers around the coke
ovens are hle cogs in machine; should
some of these eogs get too much beer
and not be able to work, it throws the
machinery out of gear for such time as
they are off, causing those who remain
sober to be exploited less effectively and
those who are off not at all. So the
''Steel Trust goes in the beer business
to catch the hardearned dollars the
coke workers spend for beer.
What becomes of those who formerly
owned the breweries and saloons? Do
they now become wage -earners for the
trust4
More about Pennsylvania. Since the
organization of the steel workers of Nc
KEGS Rocks. in the industrial workers
of the world the saloon keepers are much
worried over the fact that the workers
are not such good patrons since the ad-
vent of this Union. May the coke work
ers. also other workers, by drinking less
beer, learn to keep their heads clear, and
study and use their voting power to have
