SANTA ROSALlA.

The announcement in these col umns last week that F. K Clancy had surrendered to the treasury l00,- GOO shares of his stock in the Santa Rossiia Mines company has called forth considerable questioning and the following official statement has been made. After the present off cers were elected they questioned the possibility of making the Santa Rosa lia stock popular while the voting power was vested in one man. an.i other stockholders as wail as those likely 10 become stockholders made the same objections. The directors therefore induced Mir Clancy to place 100. 900 shares Of his stock in the treasury without consideration. This stock is for Do special pu~pose and there had been no thought os issuing any of it al $1 per share as has been rumored.
 When the concentrating mill plans are ready for announcement. treas ury stock will undoubtedly be offered 10 stockholders pro rata to finance this work. but the statement is made positively that it will not be issued as low as $i per share.
 The old shaft is to be deepened from 350 Co 550 feet and from the bottom a crosscut will be ran to the vein. cutting it about 750 feet below the outcrop. This will open ground underlying the richest portion ol Jhe old workings. The direc-ors state that the ore already hoisCd and :I sight will furnish supply for Hil! shipment for a long time. Since work was commenced the present company has acquired d;-ect from the government an additional 200 acres adjoining the original properiy. making a total of 325 acres nov in- cluded in the company's lands
 The shipment of 91s tons of ore. referred to last week. which yielded s730.59 per ton after deducting the smelter charges. was treated by the Copper Queen smelter at Douglas.

 This value has created a revival Of mining interests in hat field, and ma terially enhanced the possibilities Of the ID ming project that gave these good returns. The shipment came from development work and while the vein is said to be ligh- at points it is immensely rich.
 The property was worked to shallow depth several years ago and aband- oned. and about three years ago was relocated by its present owners. At intervals it was worked. but since the recent demons ration of merit 1t is the intention to establish a camp and to prosecute development in the future extensively.

WHY PARI OF HE
 SHELTER WAS IDLE
(Hayden. stone < Col


 In one of our recent letters we sug- gested tha- the fact that half of Old Dominion's smelter had been idle for some little time seemed to call for some explanation. We have been given a very satisfactory explanation. which. in justice to the management, we are glad Q print
 Of course. the immediate cause of The present reduced tonnage is, in large part, due to the accident to the hoist at the main shaft. bu- the real reason for the company's more linn ited operations is the change in policy due tc the change in the local man agement at the mine. The policy of the former management was to create very large tonnage. and thus secure favorable oprating results when meas ured by the standard of the cost per ton.
 This policy involved the treatment of considerable amounts of he old slag dump. from which 1t is doubtful if there was any ner profit. and also large amounts of custom ore. which required the importation Of foreign cres for fluxing purposes.
 While this policy did produce fay- orable operating results on the per .on basis. it meant that ihe furnaces were treating a large amount of mate rial. from which there was little or no net profit. and of the comp2ny's s monthly production of about 3.50O00o pounds. probably 1000. 900 pounds sim ply represented the treatment of ore at cost
 Thus. while the smelter output was large. when one came to figure the net profits. his estimate had to be based on but 70 to s5 per cent of the total output
 ,Now. with the new management this policy has been exactly reversed. and the matter or cost Is figured entirely on a per lb." basis. Nothing Is put into the furnece unless ii is figured that it will show a profit, and as in dicating the considerable amount of barren material that was formerly treated it is interesting 10 note that with only two furnaces running the company is producing two-thirds as much copper as it was formerly with four or i've furnaces.
 Everything that goes into the fur naces LOW IS reflected on the prof. side of the ledger; consequently, the company's prcfit-making production has scarcely decreased at all, and this explains why. with a much smaller output, it is earning as much money.
 It is not 70 be supposed. however, that the balance of the battery of six ale. or course. Of these six furnaces. .one would always be kept in reserve. and another will probably be used for profitable cusJom treatment When the company gets its new hoist at its main shaft in commission. it should be in a position to keep the other four furnaces busy with ores from its own mines.
 The underground developments con t.uue favorable. especially in the western part of the mine. where there is a phenomenal showing of ore. While it does not seem 10 be the pol icy of the management to push prOduc- ton when copper is low. there is no reascn why old Dominion should no- attain an average production of 35,- O0O. 900 lbs. of copper a year at a cost Of close to nine cents pound.

| he can acquire a practical knowi- edge of the business without such a course. The large mining corpora tions realize this. and at the present time many of the mines are under the immediate direction of competent mining engineers.
 | The mining engineer should be familiar with the material and the forces he has at hand. He must konw the machines. and above all he must understand the men who are to work for him. There is only one way in which to become familiar tact, and this should be acquired be- fore. during and after the course. If this experience comes only after the | course it is too late. because the stu dent who has grown up in stylish society is apt to dislike the mining camps and the ways of the people. He is so far above the common herd i that he fails to appreciate and under stand the deliver underground. He may be well infoEmed. a good chemist. thorough mineralogist and geologist. but he is full of theories. Lacking in practice he is bound to estimate his knowledge too highly and his misdi- rected efforts may result in ruin. This is why I prefer the western graduate 10 the eastern.
 read somewhere that Thomas Edison. in answering the question as to where he found the best young man to train as his assistant. said: The college bred ones are not worth d-n. They do not seem able to be. gin at the beginning" This is be

(By c. F. Damours.) }

The training of the men who are to develop the mineral resources or the world is the most important prob lem in mining engineering.
 By the training of the Inen 1 mean the theoretical knowledge and the complete understanding of environ ments. I behve that the western mining schools are solving the prob lem. Besides giving the chance of an education 10 young men who have talent. ability, capacity and perhaps genius. they are educating the true miner. Most of these young men have been raised in the west and have acquired the habits of the min ing camps. They are inured to the roughness Of mountain life and are growing up and developing as full tledged mining men. tough or muscle hardened to fatigue and are not afraid of the mud. the dust and the dirt. They arc in cordial relation with the men underground.
 During their vacations the stu dents of the mining schools may be seen working in the mines. mills and smelters. or opening up prospect of their own. know students who are carrying on active mining opera tions and who are recognized in min ing circles.
 There is no real need that a min ing engineer should be a graduate On mining school. Ir fact. it Is moi necessary that a man should know anything at al. A little visit around mining camps will soon convince one of this fact. To tell the truth it is largely due to the plain, average man that a great share of our mineral wealth has been exploited. The ac comp, ,ishment Is remarkable. and in many cases the success spectacular Success always makes the world en thusiastic. It is a kind of competi ton that the graduate of the mining school must meet. The purely prac tical man has indeed accomplished wonders. but often at the cost of en- ormous waste of money. labor and human lives.
 For every success there has been a failure. The thoughtful man thinks about the failures and is quick 10 ad init that theory and practical knowl edge must be utilized together. Alone they are hopeless United they arc power. Consequntly it is desirable that a man should be graduated from school of mines. lt is doubtful il

as it should be. He made . good
record in congress and ran q
strong race in the last election.
Il is generally believed thai he Is

Mr.. Crow is again . candidate in

nomination but not without oppo-
sition. Mr.. 8. E. Bronson an at

nounced as o candidate and the
indications are that he win give
Mr.. Crow serious trouble. He is
said to be q lawyer Of ability and
a good speaker and expects to
make an aggressive campaign.
Mr.. Bronson has the advantage
of living in the west end of the
district where the large republi.
can maiorities are cast.
In the primary election two
years ago there were cast in the
district only 15,S40 republican
votes and 1896 Of those were cast
in the six western counties, and
only 6,681 were cast in the ten
eastern counties. So that the six
western counties cast 1884 more
republican votes than the ten
eastern counties.
Many of the leaders Of the re-
publican party even in this end Of
the district are not pleased with
Mr.. Crow and his record and will
give their support to his opponent.
1t is not our fight and while as be-

Boys Corn Growing con-
test for 1910.

Are you aware Of what It iss
For . number of years the
State Corn Growers Association,
in cooperation with the State
Board Of Agriculture and the
College Of Agriculture, has con-
Quoted 3 corn growing contest
among young men and boys Of
the State. It began q few years
ago with o few hundred and now
1t has reached into the thousands
in its enrolment.
There are two Glasses for
the young men and one for the
boys. The young mems class
includes those under twenty
years Of age and over sixteen,
and the boys class includes those
under sixteen and over ten years
of age.
"he boys names are to be regis
tered with Sam Jordan, at Col
umbia, Missouri, who has direct
charge Of this feature of the work
this season. These young people
can either register direct, or, q
better plan will be to register with
come organization or some bank
or other business, and their
names can be sent in by those
with whom the boys register.
Those registering should give
name, age and postoffiee address.
There are no fees Of any kind and
every wide-awake young farmer
should avail himself Of this OPP
portunity.
Last season the University sent
free seed to about two thousand
boys and young men Of the state
and the results were highly grati-
flying in nearly every case. Pure
seed was thus scattered over
many parts of the state and 1t
has been demonstrated many
times that pure-bred seed corn,
everything else being equal, will
produce from five to ten bushels
more corn to the acre than the
common scrub seed. Last season
many banks and other business
copcerns took hold Of this work
and the number that are now re-
ported as calling for literature on
the contest, indicates that scores
of banks viii take hold Of the
work this season. tits presumed
that there is not q Farmers Club
in the state shat will not take W
the work, for it is recognized thai
this is the best way to arouse In.
terest in improved farming.
II becomes 0 vital question with
every business interest to helI
boost this work, and 1t is a fac
that there are very few, if any
newspapers In the state that viii
not willingly give all the space b
this matter that will be called fol
by those who are boosting thi'
work.

IN :
The annual Farmers Lecture
Course in Agriculture viii be held
this year between the dates Feb
tuary 14-19. As In previous
years efforts have been made 10
secure the most expert men TO
discuss the phrases Of agricultural
lproblsms vital to this section, The
rapid growth in interest and in.
seresse in attendance in former
years has justified the Normal in
enlarging the scope Of work, It
Twill be noted that some valuable
new features have been added
which will greatly increase the
practical value Of the lectures.
In the first place the Normal
has recently established seper.
ate department Of agriculture in
charge Of a trained agriculturist.
The object in creating this de-
partment is not only to increase
the schools facilities for training
teachers in this important work,
but to provide school Of agri-
culture for farmers sons who may
here learn the most improved
| modern methods and principals of
farm management.
| In the second place, the Uni
versity Of Missouri has generous
lily loaned US car of its finest
premium live stock. This stock
has been exhibited this year at the
State Fair, the Royal Stock Show
at Kansas City, and at the Inter-
national Live Stock Exposition at
Chicago. On each occasion 1t
has carried off ribbons and money.
lThis live stock, which win be in
charge Of Prof. c. A. Wilson Of
the University, will constitute the
finest demonstration Of live stock
ideals ever brought to southeast
missouri. Prof. Wilson viii also
deliver lectures and give demon
strations on the care and hand
ling OF live stock. The Univer-
sity also sends us DR.. w. l..
Howard, Secretary Of the Mis-
souri, State horticultural Society.
DR.. Howard will give us the latest
and oest methods in matters pre-
tsining to the orchard.
We are indebted to the Uui-
versity Of Illinois for Prof. J. E.
Readhimer, who will deliver three
or four lectures on soils. Prof.
Readhimerhas given special study
to the soils Of southern Illinois.
; Since the soil types Of southeast
Missouri are similar in many re-
spects to those of southern Illis
nois, we have In Prof. Readhimer
one Of the best equipped men the
country affords to instruct US in
the Improvement Of our soils.
Another new feature In which
boys and young men will take
much interest will be the contests
, in judging corn and live stock,
, Liberal prizes will be offered,
, Announcement Of these prizes
