It is true that he cannot do much at time but the continuous 'littles' he has done and is doing count for much. He has dug wells, built roads and blazed the trail through the desert into the mountains and capital has followed slowly.

 "Agriculture and manufactures are right and have large place in every civilization but the people of Arizona should remember that It was the mines that made the other industries possi- ble in the state and that even yet the minerals constitute far and away their greatest present asset and one that will increase in value every year."

Big Mining Deal
 Closed for Cash.

For fourteen thousand dollars cash in hand, A. B. Ming, Judge Frank Baxter and Gus Livingston, have sold the Clip mine and tailings to Julian P. Jones and associates of Los Angeles. The deal was closed yesterday and the money paid over, This is the first cash mining deal made in Yuma county for some tune. All of the own CTS of the Clip mine and tailings are we'll known Yuma County people. They bought the old property four years ago at a tax sale.
 It has been twenty eight years since the Clip mine was closed down for good That was in the old days be- fore the advent of cyanidiny and modern scientific mining. The taiing of the old mine is very valuable and will assay 7S to the ton. In addition to the tailings large amount of ore is blocked out in the tunnels of the mine proper. Going with the property are some half dozen claims surrounding. The mine and tailings were put in tho deal at lO,0OO$. The surrounding claims at 4,OOO$
 Mr. Jones and his associates will first work the tailings by the cyanide process. Later they will install a mill and rehabilitate the mine. It is believed that a very rich mine can be made of the old property.
 The sale is regarded as a good one for all parties concerned and Messrs. Ming, Baxter and Livingston arc to be congratulated.-Yuma Sun.

SOUTH DAKOTA METAL
PRODUCTION IN 1914

The production of gold from mines
IN South Dakota in 1914, according to
preliminary estimates by Chas. w.
Henderson of the United States Geo.
logical Survey, was $7,270, 900, COM
pared with $7,3l9, ,294 in 1913. and that
OF silver was approximately ia, 600
ounces, compared with III, ,702 ounces
in 1913. A nominal quantity of lead
was produced. From 1876 to the end
of 1914 South Dakota has produced
S4s5, ,224, 900 in gold and 1880 900
ounces of silver.
The Homestake mine and mills
were operated continuously through
out the year, treating slightly in
creased tonnage but of slightly lower
grade.
In addition to operating It's silic-
eous ore mines and mill, the Golden
Reward company continued expert
mental work with the roasting of the
sulphide or blue" ore before cyan
idation, both at the 75-ton Wedge
roaster at the Astoria shaft and at
the mill in DeadWood The new Mo-
gul mill at Terry was placed in oper-
alton early in 1914 and continued
active throughout the year. This
plant is the only plant in the Black
Hills using the process Of all-sliming,
continuous decantation without fill
tration, although the Reliance mill
uses continuous decantation with
filtration. The Trojan mine and mill
were operated at increased capacity.
The Reliance mill was operated on
on company and custom ore. The
Wasp No. 2 company inactive for a
short period in 1918, resumed opera
ton OF it's mill early in 1914, mining
by the open-cut system and using a
steam shovel for stripping. The Bis
marck 200-ton cyanide plant, in oper-
alton since April. 1913, was closed in
April, 1914. The Deadwood- Standard
cyanide plant was operated for q
period by lessees. Some ore was
shipped from the Ironsidas mine, in
the Carbonate district, and from the
Heidelberg and Monarch mines, in
the Two Bit district.
The yield from placers in Custer
and Pennington counties was nomi-
nal. Some production was made ct
the First National lode mine and
mill, Hill City. and At the Ohio lode
mine and mill. Keyatone.

 He set forth his teachings, but the people did not believe Him. They laughed and mocked Him and passed on their way.
 He was even accused by His apostles who asked Him why He spoke to them in words that they might not under stand. He evidently showed them He wished ot place the responsibility where it belonged.
 Christ realized that the most simple sentence he uttered depended upon it's reception by the people who heard it. The people who have ears and only those people hear it.
 Jesus Christ was a powerful preach CT, but the results at the end of His ministry were not those looked forward to. The number of people who be- lieved and followed Him was very small compared with the population Of that time Jesus did not allow Himself to be deceived by false popularity and He did not allow HiInseif to become discouraged by 0 lack of real populari- ty.

ACADEMY GIRLS GAVE
 CLEVER GYM EXHIBITION.
Big Audience Enthusiastically Ap-
 pIauded Programme of Events.

Before a very large audience Thurs day afternoon the girls of the Norwich Free Academy gave a good exhibition of their work in the gymnasium during the past year. The exhibition was held in the girls gym, which was prettily decorated with college and school ban ners. Not enough credit can be given to Miss Katherine Moore, the gymnasi- um instructor The way the girls did their exhibits showed how much time and energy Miss Moore must have put into the preparation for the exhibition.
 The different classes were distin- guished by the color of their hair rib bons and neckties. The juniors wore white lower middlers black, upper middlers light blue and the seniors red.
 The ribbon dance given by the sen iors, the first on the programme, was very pretty and was applauded hearti- ly The juniors are the largest clas of them all and about 80 of them danced the highland fling, which was quite a pretty sight. The upper mid dlers in their German hopping dance received an ovation when they made their appearance on the floor, coming in by two, hopping along. The bar bells drill given by the lower mid dlers was very uniform in all the movements.
 The games that were played afford ed lots of pleasure to the audience, especially the match between the jun iors and the lower mfddlers in rolling the dumb bell, in which the juniors won by the score of 9 to 8.
 The manner in which the tactics and marching was carried on showed how carefully the girls had been in structed by their teacher. Miss Moore was assisted by Miss Marguerite Wulf, who played the piano for the drills.
 The following is the programme that was carried out: Seniors, English rib bon dance; junior, highland fling; U. M, German hopping dance; l.. M,
