A girl in Pennsylvania raised $50
pounds Of tomatoes on one-twentieth
of an acre which strongly suggests
how useful girls of this generation
may be. The last generation of women
stuck to the domestic fireside too close
ly and knitting, crocheting. embroidery
and other fancy n~eedlework was the
order Of the day. This generation of
young women is almost useless save
in a few isolated cases like the Penn
sylvania one. Girls now are strong on
the parade stunt. The mother or the
dressmaker is kept busy most of the
time for this continuous performance.
This is supplemented by night auto
rides with cigarette sissies of the OPP
posite SEX. And thus the time is filed,
not usefully but harmfully. Why moth
ers stand for it God alone knows. But
they do. The solution of the problem
is in finding something useful for the
girl to do, some outdoor work which
will get her close to nature and de-
velope her physically as well as moral
ly. Teach the girl the real worth of
work, the life giving. life building ele-
ments In service and you have put her
far on the road to real happiness, the
Heaven of earth.

ARLINGTON SCHOOL ADvERTIsEs

The board of education of Arlington
evidently believes in the value of
printers ink, for it is running a two
column advertisement in the Arlington
Sun, telling Of the advantages offered
in the course of study adopted in the
Arlington public schools. 1t is beIiev-
ed this method of publicity will result
in many additional students being Sc
cured from out of town, who would be
required to pay a monthly tuition fee,
which would materially aid in taking
care of the expenses for running the
school. This is the first instance IN
South Dakota in which the advantages
Of public schools have been set forth
in paid advertisements in a newspaper.

The commercial club of YanktOn
has taken up the constitutional amend
ment permitting South Dakota as a
state to engage in good road building
and the development of coal mining on
state lands and will conduct an educa-
tional campaign in Yankton county for
its adoption. That is the way TO do
business. A large majority of South
Dakota people will no doubt favor the
amendment if they understand it. Let
the newspapers and commercial CLUBS
of the state get busy and there will be
no doubt about the fate of the amend,
ment.

SAN JUAN COUNTY MINES
AND MINING OPERATION.

The latest word from Silverton is
to the effect that the Ruby mine
which we reported sold last Thurs
day, is now making its first mill run,
The vein opened up is from four to
eight feet wide. 1t is reported that
the new owners will make extensive
improvements for the handling of the
tungsten ore they are mining.
1t is thought that the Gladstone
railroad, which was put out of com
mission by the snow slides, will be
repaired within the next ten days and
that then the Gold King mine will
again be taking out ore. On this
road are the Anglo Saxon and the
Grand Mogul mines which are expect
ed soon to join the list of shippers
Machinist Berkey of the Sunnyside
mines has been over at work on the
air compressor which was badly dam
aged during the big slides. Every
thing will be in readiness by the time
the railroad is repaired.
Manager Boyce of the Little Dora
mine says that he has everything in
shape to begin work on moments S
notice. He says they can take tung-
stem from one part of the mine and
gold, silver, lead and copper from
the other and by so doing make this
mine big paying proposition.
About 80 tons of ore is daily com
ing from the Big Giant mine and
being put thru the Contention mill
Some 800 tons of ore are in the ore
bins. Some thirty tons day are
taken from the mine. 1t is expect
ed that the Big Giant will be one of
Silverton's big shippers in the fu-
ture.
The mines in the neighborhood OF
Red Mountain are now active and ore
is being brought down by pack train
AS soon as the snow is off it is an
ticipated that the Red Mountain dis
trict will ship down its share of the
ore sent to the smelter at Duran
go.
Many are waiting for the snow 70
melt in order to get out and dis.
cover new tungsten mines. While new
discoveries are being made ii is inn
possible at this time to determine the
value of the mines.
In general the week closes with
the mining prospects of the San Juan
looking better than in many years,
More men are being employed and
more mines are now in operation than
is usual at this time in the year, not
withstanding the heavy snowfall.

CONTRIBUTE LITERALLY.

The committee appointed for the
purpose of soliciting contributions
toward the building of the trail up
Junction has made substantial prog
ress, and it now appears that with
the assistance of the county and for
est service the trail will be built dur
ing the summer. 1t is likely tina.
there will be further contributions.
This will insure the building of the
trail, so that it may be>used this yeag
to the benefit of those who have min
ing properties in the La Plata district
and must find their way to the smelt-
er by the way of Junction creek.
Some of the richest mines in Colo
rado are in the La Platas and with
the prices of metals going up these
mountains are sure to be searched,
and new locations made. There new
er has been any doubt about the
abundance of ore all thru these San
Juan mountains, but it requires cap
ital to open the mines and it re-
quires capital to build trails ana
roads in order that the ore may be
marketed when it is mined.
The county commissioners anl the
forest service have taken an active
pert in helping to build the trail
needed. The interes. is such that
there will be no doubt about the cont-
pletion of the road in good shape.
