had had proper training, he would
gladly do the work assigned him. Then
there is great need in our church OF
trained trainers or trained teachers.
This. as we have said, is deplorably evil
dent in our Sunday schools. The Sunday
school is a great Institution and we do
not wish to belittle it, but our Sunday
schools are not accomplishing the result
that we ought to expect and ought to
attain. We emphasize the fact that the
Sunday school is the great feeder OF the
church, that the church is largely re-
cruited from the Sunday school. This
NAV be true, and we are led thereby to
conclude that the Sunday school work
il a great success. But when we get
another view and find that of all the
scholars in our Sunday school only ~
per cent. or 1-5 ever come into the
church, the other 80 per cent. or 40 go
out from our Sunday school into the
world and are lost to the church, we
cannot claim that the Sunday school is
so successful as an institution for saw
ing souls and winning them for the
Master. This is startling and must bring
us to realize that we are not doing this
work as faithfully IS we should. The
church needs to arouse herself and
shake off her lethargy and perform her
duty to the young, for God will
surely holo her responsible. Yes,
we need TO give more attention to
training our young people that they
may become more efficient as teach
ers, superintendent and officers in
our Sunday schools and thus when
our Sunday schools are more effective
ly conducted by trained leaders we may
yea, even the 100 per cent, and those
who shall come into the church from
the Sunday school shall themselves Nbe

THOUGHTS OF THINKERS.

Charles D. Parkhurst.-keep your
individuality. Man is so little remov-
ed from the brute that he slips cas-
sciousness and readily loses his
lily back to his swarm or herd con-
individuality. A crowd is a moral
umbrella that takes the individual
ont of the rain.
Joseph Chapman.-The ones who
are usually opposed to educational
minds have been running along the
same channel for the past one hun
dred years and it is pretty hard to
get them to believe they do not
know all there is to know in this
world.
J. w. Streeter.-I would ex-
change my age, money and acres for
youth and forty acres and think
had the best of the bargain: and
would start the factory by planting
ten acres of orchard. buying two
sows, two cows and two setting
hens. Youth, strength and hustle
are a great sight better than the
money, and the wise youth can have
finer farm than mine before he
passes the half century mark, even
though he may have but bere forty
to begin with. 1 do not take for
granted that every man has bare
forty to begin with, but millions of
men who have it not, can have it
by little persistent self-denial and
when an able bodied man has forty
acres of ground under his feet, it
| is up to him whether he will be a
comfortable, independent self re-
specting man or not.
senator Gordon.-We have made
lives SO hard for ourselves that we
have to take 1t as a school boy does
n whipping. We try to grin over it.
but it is just so the other fellows
will not see us crying. This Is an
age of cranks and fool fads. If they
could be cornered in one big pasture
and LETT to fight it out among them
selves 1t would not be so hard, but
they want to force their wild theo-
ries on others of us and a man has
to run as hard to keep away from
them as II blood hounds were after
him. Between all our experiments
we try we are caught like flies be-
tween the screen and the window
pane and all we can do Is buzz and
bang. We of the past generations
may have had less and known less
than the people nowadays, but what
We had was the best OF life. We
smiled oftener and we lived longer.

HENRIETTA Mine
UNDER BOND

The property of the Henrietta Min
ing company, located in the Funeral
Mountains, near Breyfogle tanks, is
under bond to some San Francisco min.
ing men, and reports are to the effect
that the bond may be exercised. The
Henrietta company owns nine claims,
laying in a block three claims wide and
three claims long. A 60-foot shaft and
some surface work has been done, ex-
posing a ledge of copper Ore, from six
to 80 feet in width extending the length
of three claims. The ledge matter is
quartz, with lime on the hanging wall
and diorite on the footwall side. On
the hanging wall side of the ledge,
from the surface down to the 60-foot
level is several inches of copper glance,
running 40 per cent and better in cop
per. At the 60-foot point the ore body
widens, and indications are that at
depth the entire vein will be mineral
lied. There is much of the rich ore in
sight, and some has been hauled 80
miles to Rhyolite. j. H. Hendrick IS
superintendent of the Henrietta, and
in a few days will go out to the prop
erty to look after his interests.

new DAYTON Mill
NEARLY COMPLETED

CARSON, Jan. Captain Davis has
about completed his new Rock Point
mill at Dayton to replace the n de
stroyed by fire some months ago and
expects to have the plant ready for
operation by the list of February.
The new mill will be one of the
finest in the state. 1t is of forty
stamp capacity and the entire plant,
building and all, is constructed of iron
and steel and is absolutely fire proof.
Captain Davis has spared neither
time, money nor energy in making the
mill a model one in every respect, and
when in operation will doubtless prove
a model in working mechanism and a
money saver for the customers and the
company.

satisfactorily to development work now
IN progress. In sinking the shaft known
as the Buster a high grade ore shoot
has been encountered at a depth OF
about 80 feet. The vein at this depth
averages from four to five feet, and
carries good values across the entire
width, with some assays returning val

of lead is welcomed by the mine op-
orators, as it not only means added
value to the tonnage, but simpli6es and
cheapens the work of extracting the
bullion from the rock.
In the Jack Pot, high gold values
are appearing in masses of white iron,
that have changed the appearance of
the quartz ledge to a literal ledge of
white bronze metal. The silver content
shows no sign of diminishing.
Higher values than ever have been
found on the Hardy mine in the north
and south ledge system.
The more depth attained on the
Peerless lease in Midas Flat shows
that the sulphide zone out there will
in all respects be as rich as it was on
Lander Hill.

FIREWORKS PLANT IN SEATTLE ExPLODEs wORKMEN,
WARNED, ESCAPE TIME AVOID DEATH

SEATTLE, May 25.-Every
workman in the Hit Brothers
fireworks plant at Columbia City.
a suburb, fled from the place two
minutes before an explosion and
fire destroyed one-half of the
plant this morning.
One girl, Bessie Moore, en-
ployed in the pinwheel depart
ment, was badly cut In jumping
through window as the cry of
"fire!" was raised. She contin-
ued to run, however, and escaped
the explosion.
A workman saw smoke COM
ing from storeroom No. 3 at 1925
this morning. He gave the alarm
that vacated the plant. Two min
utes later, the storeroom blew up.
A second later storeroom No. 8
exploded. then storeroom No. 2,
with $50 pounds of powder. and
finally the paintshop, where two
minutes before Miss Moore, with
ten others, had been making pin
wheels. The force of the explo-
sions was terrific. Fire followed,
and skyrockets, pinwheels and
other pyrotechnics shot
into the air in brilliant display.

"The Hope diamond" as
the great blue diamond of
Hope jewels is known, left
misfortune wherever it trav-
eled. Lord Hope presented
the stone to his bride, May
Yohe, who eloped with Put
nam Bradlee Strong, U. s.
army officer. Lady Hope left
the blue diamond behind.
She married Strong at
Buenos Ayres. Lord Hope
sold the great stone to Simon
rankel, a New York jeweler,
who nearly failed. He sold
1t to Jacques Colot, a Paris
ian broker, for 100000.
Colot sold 1t to Prince Ivan
Kanitvoski, who gave 1t to
his music hall sweetheart. A
few days later the girl was
shot by a Jealous rival and
Kanitvowski was murdered.
The tragedy so upset Colot
that he became a maniac.
Abdul Hamid bought the blue
diamond and everyone knows
what happened to Abdul.
The present whereabouts
of the Hope diamond is un-
known.
