at is for the American woman to
know why millions are shut out from
the full benefits of such education

far achieved. We women have to face
questions that men alone have evident.
ly not been quite able to solve. We
must know why woman who owns
property has no voice in selecting the
men who make laws that affect her
property. We must know why wo-
man who earns wages has nothing to
say about the choice of the men who
make laws that govern her wages. We
must know why hundred and fifty
of our sisters were killed in New
York in shirt waist factory fire and
nobody to blame We must know why
our fathers, brothers and husbands are
killed in mines and on railroads. We
women, who are natural conservation
istst, must find out why the sons we
bring forth are drawn up in line and
shot. We must organize with our
more enlightened brothers and de-
clare general strike against war.
'We women must educate ourselves
and that without delay. We cannot
wait longer for political economists
to solve such vital problems as clean
streets, decent houses, warm clothes
wholesome food, living wages, safe
guarded mines and factories, honest
public schools. These are our ques.
tions. Already women are speaking
and speaking nobly, and men are
speaking with us. To be sure, some
men and some women are speaking
against us; but their contest is witt
the spirit of life. Lots wife turned
back, but she is an exception. 1t is
proverbial that women get what they
are bent on getting, and circumstances
are driving them toward education

MINING NOTES FROM THE
SILvERTON STANDARD

One Of the most important finds
made in this section in many . day
was that recently made in the Gold
King mine near Gladstone by Mike
Coler, who has suitcase from the
original lessees, Slattery and Mears.
The greatest Importance lies In the
fact that the discovery was made in
crosscut driven from the upper
workings into absolutely new and vir-
gin territory and coursing in such
way as to establish, seemingly, BE-
yond all reasonable doubt, q perma-
nency which means the restoration Of
the famous old producer to its haly-
con days of old. The vein at present
shows over four feet of shipping ore
and still in the vein in which there
is about seven inches Of extremely
high grade gold ore.-Silvsrton Stand
ard. s- &.-,,..
Joe Mattivi has shipped two cars Of
high grade gold ore from his lease on
the Bonner mine and has another
carload in the bins ready for shipment.
The pay streak is holding out we'll and
growing stronger as work progresses.
The Bonner was noted in years gone
by as producer Of high grade orc,
but the streak was lost by the former
workers and was recently opened up
stronger than ever by Mr.. Mattivi.
A strike Of more than ordinary i'm
portance to the camp was recently
made in the Mayflower mine In Aras-
ira gulch, owned by the Malchus
brothers of this city. The strike which
was made in the old working tunnel
shows upward Of four feet Of ex-
ceptionally good copper sulphides, car
rying good values in silver and gold.
The fortunate part is that It il in en-
tirely new ground and gives every
promise Of permanency and from sur
face indications it will likely dsvsI-
op into one of the big mines Of The
district. The general average Of the
ore is over $40 per ton and arrange
ments are being made to begin ship
ping at an early date.
