OF MINING WORLD

During the SOS, Alva Adams
hd others made discoveries of
ch gold ore on Cornwall noun
in at Jasper and located large
umber of claims known as the
uadalupe group and did oonsid-
(able development work. Some
Mr.. Adams associates died and
her interests 80 absorbed his at
|ntion that the camp was aban
bned. Mr.. Adams has, however,
lid he considered these claims 80
lluable that he put up the money
have them patented and has
bid taxes on them for 25 years.
Efforts have been made to open
ese mines, but it has been i'm
Dssible on account of divers in
rests until recently, when it was
ported these properties have been
|ased and will be worked as soon
the snow goes off.
A deal has also been effected on
be Miser properties at Jasper by
hich Cripple Creek people will
Pvelop them. Some of the rich
p pockets of gold ore ever found
the state have been taken from
he Miser tunnel.
1t now looks as though Jasper,
latoro, Sumner, the P. M. B.
Foup and others by reason of the
ch gold strike at Gilmore will all
Ike on new life this year md be-
pme the center of attraction of
ne mining world. Already Grip
le Greek, Creede and the San
uan miners are anxiously waiting
pr the snow to go off and the roads

crop was practically failure and
the sheep market was not up to
expectation. 1912 was not all it
should be, perhaps, with the late
frosts in the spring and an early
freeze in the fall, but the men who
dared and did things, are now, and
have been reaping rich return on
their lamb crop, and the end is not

Let's face the conditions as they
present themselves and above all.
let's be fair to ourselves and tell
the truth.
Did you, Mr.. Farmer, use your
best judgment and effort in the
preparation of your land to obtain
the returns that you expected? ?
Have you in your farming meth
DDS put back onto and into the
soil, by proper cultivation or fer
tilizers, any of the constituents
necessary for the plant life?
Have you, Mr.. Citizen, been
alive to the requirements of munic-

you ever-even once-e expressed

tend that public meeting called for
the purpose of determining ways
and means for the performance of
a work that was in line of progress
and for the general benefit of all?
If you did not, do you believe
you should arrogantly display your
self as the only prescription artist
in the community for any and all
ills to which people are heir.

SCIENTIFIC FARMING

This week, a JOURNAL represent
ative heard a, discourse upon real
farming by real farmer. IF all
the farmers in this valley were
realizing as much in proportion
from their land as | am from my
little farm of forty acres" said our
friend, "the San Luis Valley
would be far more prosperous
condition than it is"
This man FARMS forty acres
and does it alone. He understands
his soil; knows seed and none but
the best and cleanest is ever sown
on his acres AS a result, he is
building up his land by proper
rotation, and raises bumper crops
of the highest type. Besides re-
ceiving compensation for his labor,
the land pays him a fair interest
upon his Investments pleasant
contrast to the oyer-slzed farm and
the consequent mortgage and in
terest, the neglected spots and
half tillage.
In this connection 1t is pleasing
ing to note that number of farm
ers in this community have found
that it is more profitable to farm
fewer acres and do the job right
than to scratch over more ground
and get half crop. Some of the
land thus treated has been load
to its owner, and with "everything
going out and nothing coming in,"
has rebelled and lying fallow points
the way in in an opposite direction
to intelligent handling of land in
stead.

STRONG DRINK RAGETH
ALSO THE WAR SPIRIT

ALSO THE WAR SPIRIT
"Shure, if it's for me to decide,
Iii take the aisyest one" said John
O'Donnell to Deputy District At
torney Howard Monday in answer
to the latter's query.
During the past two weeks the
animosity between the veterans of
the Civil and Spanish war has
grown in response to an over-sup-
ply OF very violent whiskey, and
the Soldiers home has been a CEN
ter for a number of quarrels.
The said O'Donnell, veteran of
the Civil war, carrying easily his
II years, was charged with assault
with a deadly weapon upon the
person of Michael Ryan a partici-
pant in the recent unpleasantness
with Spain. The younger man it
seems, had provoked the wrath of
the gray-haired boy through un-
tiattering remarks, and as balm to
his wounded feelings, the latter
had raped the youth on the head
with a fragment of billiard cue.
1t was in response to the ques-
ton of Attorney Howard as to
whether the accused would prefer
to plead guilty to the charge of
assault and battery or to continue
with the case under the original
charge, that O'Donnell made the
remark quoted in the beginning of
this article.
Acting upon the wish of the
aged fighter, the attorney revised
his charge and the man in blue
who had told the judge his birth
day fell on December 25, and at
the same time admitted that he
was "a Christmas Bird was al
lowed to plead guilty and was
fined $50 and costs which will
have to await payment until next
pension day. In the meantime
Mr.. O'Donnell is industriously at
work at manual labor at the Home
in aiding others in beautifying
the grounds at this institution.
The second of the series in JUS
tice Hender's court was the case
of the People of the Centennial
state against one Ross McClintock,
a Spanish War veteran whose So
journ at the Home was very re-
Gently ended owing to disposi-
ton which was not over sweet.
In an engagement with one W. Il.
Ewell who had marched with Sher-
man or some other general, Mr..
McClintock armed with a chair
attempted to best the old man and
had received in exchange five gen
erous knife wounds.
The Judge seemed to feel that
the community had no claim upon
NC" and that all ties had been
severed upon the mans discharge
from the Home, and that to detain
him at the expense of the county
was hardly fair to the taxpayers,
and turned him loose in order that
he might become patron of the

AUTO BANDITS SENTENCED

The trial of twenty-five prison
ers charged with being the auto
mobile bandits who have terrorized
Paris and vicinity for the past two
years, ended Thursday. Four of
the twenty-five were found guilty
of several murders and were SEN
fenced to death by the guilotine.
Fourteen of the others were SEN
fenced to long terms of imprison-
ment. Three women were among
the suspects, but nothing could be
proven against them.
The case has been intensely in
teresting Among the indictments
were no fewer than twenty-five
murders, the victims being motor
drivers, bank messengers, freight
agents and policemen. The gang
held up a number of suburban
banks, broke into the residences
of prominent people, killed the
chief of the Paris detectives, set
fire to buildings, and finally when
their two leaders, Bonnot and Gar
nier, were in danger of arrest. un-
derwent two sieges in the environs
of Paris.
In the course of these sieges it
was found necessary to call out
hundreds of troops, whole squad
rons of military, mounted police
and practically the entire force of
patrolmen, who bombarded the
bandits for many hours in their
sanctuaries and then found several

lying dead, riddled with bullets.

room.
The toldness and daring of the
bandits in perpetrating their rob.
berries and crimes attracted the at
tention of the civilized world. An
organization, not unlike that of the
Maha, seemed to have been per-
fected and the police were openly
dehed by the criminals whose con.

Work Land. Everyone should make
as long stay as possible. There
should, even for brief space of time
at least, be let up from the grind
and worry of the daily toll. 1t is idle
for man to say that he cannot take
vacation and leave his business He
can. He would be better off and his
business would be better off. Rest,
recreation, relief, would better equip
and fit the man for the proper con-
duct of his affairs and the little things
that would go wrong during his alb
sence, would be more than offset by
the vigor and cleared vision that a
rebuilt manager would give upon his
return. The workingfnan should take
vacation. There is no use saying
he cannot afford it. He can. The in
come he loses during short recrea-
tion time may save him big bills for

loss of wages by reason of illness

AN ERROR CORRECTED.

In the report of the proceedings of
Borough Council published in the last
issue of The Pleasantville Press, ii
was stated that Councilman McAnney
reported that no agreement could be
reached with the Absecon City body
concerning the improvement of Cali
fornia avenue. This is mistake on
our part and we gladlv make the cor
rection. AS a matter of fact, repre-
sentatives of the two Councils met
upon the avenue, an agreement as to
its improvement was reached without
difficulty, and the work is now COM
pleted and is a credit to the two mu-
inequalities.
