A Pleasing Appointment.

The reappointment of John w.
Titcomb as commissioner Of fisheries
and game simply means that Gov
ernor Mead has done the obviously
wise thing and the only thing to do
under the circumstances. Mr.. Tit
comb is recognized as a national
authority on this subject and has
had a wider experience in it, at home
and abroad, than any other man in
Vermont list. Adams Messenger.
The reappointment of John w.
Titcomb as state fish and game COM
missioner was in line with good
sense. During the short period that
Mr.. Titcomb has held Office since
his return to Vermont he has given
indication of vigorous and firm
hand; and that is what is needed in
Vermont; particularly in this de-
partment. If the fish and game laws
are to be respected more than in
spots here and there and by indi-
sary for the state to exercise a re-
pressive influence, for the laws will
not enforce themselves. Toward en-
forcement of the laws, Mr.. Titcomb
has gone about his work in a bust
neSS-like manner; and to have cut
off that service before he had been
given chance to carry out his plans
would have been to deprive the state
of some possibilities for betterment
in the administration of the laws.
Mr. Titco11b, by his reappointment
will now be in a position to push
through whatever policies he may
have mapped out. Moreover, the
state has confidence in his abilities
to perform the duties of the position
judging by prior service.1[ Barre

moved man great in his purposes
and accomplishments, pure and
forcible in his teachings, unselfish
and devoted in his service. But he
had been spared to utilize his ply
steal abilities their full term and
it may be said that his work had
been accomplished. Full of years,
full of honor, enjoying to full
measure the love and respect of all
his associates he has simply passed
on to the blessings of eternal peace.

Pensions for Teachers.

Probably in the first thought of
many persons that read in the news
paper reports of the proceedings of
the legislature at Montpelier that
a bill had been introduced providing
for a pension for public school
teachers of a certain age of service
the idea was dismissed forthwith as
the idle proposition of some mere
theorist. But if those same doubt
ing Thomases will stop to consider
that this country pays out annually
millions of dollars in pensions to
men that have served it faithfully
and well in time of war, they may be
led to think of the advisability of
foreStalling some considerable part
of this enormous drain upon the
public resources by pensioning those
whose life is given up to a cause
that must ultimately make war inn
possible.
If there are any public servants
whose life work partakes of sacri-
flee for the public good to an ex-
tent even beyond the everyday con-
temptation of the people they serve
the most, they are the teachers in the
public schools. And the thoughtful
person does not have to reason very
keenly, very deeply, to appreciate
the tremendously important fact
that next to the home and the inf1u-
ence of the church, the school teach
er plays the most vital part in per-
petuating the generations of Amer
leans citizens in intelligent loyalty
to the great principles of civiliza-
ton that makes our government and
our society what it is today and what
it be destined to be hereafter
The mistaken policy of people
that, at least, attaches SO much i'm
portance to the training of youth in
| school, and that, in practice, spends
| over 70 per cent. of it's annual in
| come for wars past or anticipated
may well be questioned when the
| issue is whether youth shall be
| trained to preserve peace by right
eous living and intelligent states
manship or whether soldiers should
| be paid or pensioned for command
| ing peace by terror and slaughter.
Some day, perhaps, our folks
| will realize that it is actually worth
more to the nation to establish g
West Point for the teachers and en-.
| list the flower of them for life in &
| great army of educators that shall
| train up a nation honorably to avoid
| war and pension them in old age fol
doing it, than to pay the awful tri
| butte of life and treasure that wars
| still demand in any generation.
We are yet heathens.-ISt.. Al

Our Teachers, Problem.

One explanation of the absence
of normal teachers trained in Yer
mont is that they can earn more
elsewhere. Wages are SO low in
some of our common schools that
the wonder is they can secure any
teachers whatsoever; and it is not
impossible that this is the chief
trouble with our whole educational
system.
On the other hand the state ought

NEW PHENOMENON
mold COMSTOCK
Discovery in Phoenix Mine
Promises New Life for
Camp.

New lease Of life for the historic Com
stock is promised by the recent discov-
cry in the Comstock Phoenix, a mine on
the Brunswick lode, about one mile east
of Virginia City. Phenomenal showings
are being made, assays from grab sam
piles showing values of S20S7.75 per ton,
of which $l345 is sold and the remainder
silver. This is the average proportion OF
values throughout the mine and also
approximates the COmstOCk average,
which runs about tWO-thirds gold to one
third silver.
The average of ore milled from this
mine runs about $50 ton, while the ship
ping ore goes about $lj0. A 30 horse
power electric hoist has been recently
installed, and il is reported that the man
agement contemplates the building of a
mill The working vein averages about
ten feet wide. and streak of high-grade
along the fOOtwall. four to six inches
wide runs from s. 600 to $1,000 a ton.
The Comstock has often been reported
as defunct, but with a mine like this
opening up in territory entirely virgin
there is no doubt Of a new era Of aCtlv-
/ itV for Virginia City.

LARGE PLANS OUT
FOR PIOCHE MINES
Building of Zinc Mill and
Smelling Plant Is Now
Assured.

That during the recent extended visit
Of A. H. Godbe to New York plans for
building a zinc mill and a smelter for
the Consolidated Pioche and Prince Con-
sOlidated Mining companies, of Phoebe,
were agreed upon by the large interests
in those companies, is now admitted by
their local representatives. The exact To-
cation of the shelter and some other de-
tails concerning its construction have been
not fully determined, but the making OF
plans for the zinc mill is well under way,
several processes have been thoroughly
tested and il is known that the base ores,
which were the bdne of the early Oper-
atOTS of the camp, can be successfully
treated by modern methods
The Raymond Ely, Susan Buster, Green
wood and other mines of the Consolidated
Phoebe company contain enormous bodies
Of the zinc-leRd ores, and the good mar
gin of profit assured from their treatment
means a long period of production for the
mines and large fortunes for their own
ers. The ores of the Prince mine, both
those Of the large body of irOn-manSa-
nese and those in the smaller bodies of
high grade, are susceptible Of smelling
direct. and the combination is one which
will mean profitable operation Of q smell
ter of considerable capacity.
1t is intended to have everything in
readiness to commence active operations
constructing the new plants is soon as
the Salt Lake Route is TeOpened to the
camp.
