One More study Club. What DO You
Think Of IL?

It Is true there are reading circles
and study clubs already. but are
there not those who would be inter
ested In one that has for It's object
bettering Of his literary uducation?
Some OF the older ones tof MS
young folks) are rusty In branches
we studied when in school; others
were forced TO omit certain branches
10 their continual regret, and still
others were limited in their school
advantages. while we all admit there
have been many improvements In the
various branches since we went TO
school. There may be some too who
would like to be prepared. n circum-
stances made e. proper 10 enter the
school room and do first class work
without embarrassment.
In view Of thesethmgs. and others
that could be put IN, wouldn't Sc be-
profitable for a number of as older
boys and girls 20 organize a circle
whose ostensible purpose Is TO take
the high school colrse? Say this term
we take half the senior year and
next term the other half or we
could take some other part OF the
course. We could have some social
features. Could make one of our
number teacher. or vary the teach
ing. have our officers. etc. Once a
week would be often enough TO meet
II seems 10 me that some parents
would like to keep bright on the
studies their sons and daughters
have 90 school. and that In so doing
they would have all the more potent
Influence for good with them and
their fellow chool mates.
If any body is Interested let me

total of S43.o74 acres

1928 with cash on hand $146,14S.25
and store supplies on hand at mine
and mill amounting to S19,1S752.
This shows an increase of $S0,656.7S
in our cash reserves and an increase
of $5592O6 in store supplies. The
company has no debts
We began the year with ore re-
serves Of 145,S20 tons and closed the

of $3.50 tons in addition to which we
milled 57,36O tons Of gross value

value of $S1S,9S545 from which we
recovered $4.92 per ton, or total
of 02S2 .335.05 or SS5 per cent of the

cents per ton leaving a net operating
cost of $4.41 per ton, which leaves
