LECTURE FOR THE YOUNG MEN

Young man says the Rocky
Mountain Educator l notice that
you are not in school any more.
What's the matter? Think you
have received enough education to
carry you through the world? Or
do you stay out just because you
do not like to go? Didn't like the
teacher, Ell! Well let me tell you
that you will find the meanest
teacher on earth now dream of
love beside some of the bosses you
will work under in the cold and
.unf2eling years you will pillow into
when you have 10 hustle for your
self. Education is the most valua-
bic thing in the world to a man,
but to a boy it comes the cheapest.
1t costs you noting now to get that
for which many a n an in town
would give all he has to possess.
You have the winning number in
the lottery of education if you play
it now. Loaf around few years
and you will always draw blank.
1t is true that any man can make n
living but you will notice that the
fellows who do it with their brains
have an easier time of it than
those who are compelled to do il
with their muscles. At the present
stage Of the game the choice Of
jobs are not held by physical
strength. Education will not
crawl into your head while you
sleep. The thing for you to do is
to hike off to school tomorrow
morning and stay there. Your
holidays will come later when you
need them.

SPECIMEN HUNTERS
CARRY OFF A MINE

The Dome (Alaskal property is
one of the marvels of the district.
There is a huge outcropping of
white quartz, dome shaped, a
distance OF about 500 feet across
the surface. 1t projects from the
ground as Ugh as 80 feet in some
places. At many places around
this dome, in fact, nearly all over it
free gold is visible to the naked
eye. Some of the surface no ok runs
to very high values. 1t is con-
sidered that enough specimens have
been stolen from the place to make
an ordinary mine. 1t is all under
guard now. This dome has all
b zen stripped of timber and moss
and will soon be teeming with life
as fnlly equipped mining property.
Log houses are being erected and
suppl les are being concentrated so
that the property may be put in
operation. Diamond drills have
been at work he re and give some
idea Of the extent OF the ore body,
but ii is doubtful if at this date
even the owners know. how much cf
mine the property will make.

Rising The
BATTLeSRIP MAINE

One would hardly think that in
raising the Maine engineering work
would I've undertaken the ike Of
which has never been attempted
before. Yet such is the fact as
we let il from Engineering News.
Trat pap.r presents the details of
the "nrk. and they are interesting.
even ID che layman.
The new and untried engineer
ing task lies in thu construction of
the Golfer dam about the Maine
wreck which dam, in character.
Dimensions. and conditions to be-
overcome, differs from any other
ever built. 1t is to he built against
steel pilinG SO as to surround the
wreck of the vessel about 325 feet
in length and lying in 81 feet of
water. The dam must b" strong
enough to withstand the pressure
on all 81 les. and high enough to
keep out the water in all tides and
weather.
This plan is considertd the only
fesiblc one that will permit the
engineers to study the wreck and
determine its cause. When the
dam is pumped out the wreck will
he open to the inspection of the
experts just as it sunk after the
terrific explosion. 1t is only by
such methods that the experts IAN
get at the truth as to the cause Of
the explosion so far as we wish to
determine whether it was external
or internal.
An additional appropriation of
$3.50, 00C has been voted for this
work $4,000 of which will be
required for the completion of the
Golfer dam; $25, 600 for pumping
out the dam and bracing the ship ;
S225, 900 for removing the wreck
and restoring the site to its
original condition; and SIS, 900 for
caring for the dead and setting the
main mast of the ship as monu
mcnt at Arlington. The remain
ing $35, 900 will be used for return
ing the plant used in the under
taking to the United States and for
incidental expenses. The only
possible credit to the account will
be some $4,000, to be realized
from the sale of the steel piling
used in the construction Of tn &
Golfer dam.
As an eng incering feat. and as q
work Of national good faith and
fairness. to say nothing Of The
patriotic duty involved, the raising
Of the Maine will he infinitely to
the credit Of this country.
