MOTHERS CONGRESS CORNER.

Throughout the United States and
abroad many hundred women are unit
ed in the study of Child Welfare-for
what is Child Welfare but World We'll
fare. This study includes the baby, the
boy and girl, the young man and young
woman. and with these well cared for
the adult will be safe through life.
1t is not enough to start the child on
his way to maturity, he must be guided
step by step and we must walk with him
all the way. To do this We need to
learn new lessons, new ways, new
means of keeping the boys and girls in.
terested in the best things of life. For
this purpose the National Mothers Con-
gress was organized some twenty years
ago.
Is not the training of the child the
most important work in the world?
Yet, how many of US have been educat-
ed for this particular work We organ
ize for better business, good roads, social
life, why not organize for better moth
ers, fathers and children?
The work of the Congress vii. be out
lined at the public meeting OF the Local
Congress to be held on January l4th.
Time, place and program will be an
nounced next week.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
CAN NOT MAKE ASSAYS

The United States Geological Survey
calls the attention of mining men and
others to the fact that it is not equipped
for making assays or analyses of rocks,
its laboratory being in fact overloaded
with official work Many specimens and
samples are received by the Survey, ac-
companied by requests for such treat
ment, With winch it is impossible 10
comply. The force Of chemists employ
ed is small, and their time is fully occu-
pied by their regular official duties. The
Geological Survey has no facilities for
making gold and silver assays. The
most the Survey geologists can do is to
give an of-hand opinion based on a
simple examination of the specimens.
1t might be matter of surprise to know
the large number of answers prepared
daily by the Geological Survey, similar
to the following:
I'm reply to your letter, etc, y
the material yon send is merely frag-
ment OF quartz pebble. | regret to say
that it has no probable value"
A great many other samples received
prove to be iron pyrites, or fools gold, :"
the shiny particles being taken. by the
writer's for gold.
If an assay is desired, the proper
course is to employ private assayer or
to send the specimen to one of the Gov
ernment assay offices, where a regular
charge is made for such work. When
specimens are sent to the Survey for ex-
animation, applicants should be particu-
lar to state whether they wish them
returned, rs otherwise they will be
destroyed. There are Governmentassay
Offices at Carson, New. Seattle, Wash /;
Boise, Idaho; Helena, Mont Salt Lake
City, Utah Deadwood, 5. ID. or New
Orleans, La; and the Mint at Philad ell
phia for gold, silver, lead, tin, zinc and
antimony.

METAL PRODUCTION

| The mine production of gold from
South Dakota in 1915 was 81, 100000,
compared with s. 7,333,50S in 1914, and
that of silver was 1885, ounces, com
pared with l76,642 ounces in 1914 A
nominal quantity of lead was produced.
These are preliminary estimates re-
ported by Charles w. Henderson, of the
United States Geological Survey. Since
1876 South Dakota has produced $780,
677 900 in gold, and 6O260O0 ounces Of
silver.
The Homestake mine and amalgama-
tion-cyanidation mills were operated
continuously throughout the year, with
an increased output
The Golden Reward cyanidation r.ill
was operated steadily on siliceous ore
from its mines, and during the latter
part Of the year an additional product
was sent to the mill in the form OF
roasted sllphide or "blue" ore. These
sulphide ores had never before been
treated successfully by cyanidation.
Results indicate 90 per cent extraction
as compared with 35 per cent without
roasting. Sulphide ore Of sufficient grade
is sent to smelters.
The Mogul cyanidation mill was oper-
ated steadily on company and custom
ore, with an increase in capacity. The
Reliance cyanidation mill was also oper-
ated steadily on company and custom
ore. The Trojan mine and cyanidation
mill were operated regularly. The Wasp
No. 2 company continued to operate its
dry.crushing cyanidation mill the mine
being worked by the open-cut system,
using steam shovel for stripping. The
Bismarck mine and mill were idle. The
new 80 ton cyanidation mill on the
Rattlesnake nine was operated during
part of the year, Sinking continued at
the Orc Hondo property.
A small production of placer gold was
made in Custer, Lawrence and Penning-
ton counties. In Pennington county,
experimental milling was continued on
the neutrality-suspicious. ore of
the Home Lode company at Silver City,
and development work was done on
properties near Hill City. The dredge
at Mystic, on Castle Creek, was moved
to the John Day district, Oregon.

DELEGATES AT LARGE
No Provision is Made in the State Law
for the Choosing of Delegates
by Districts.

Pierre, Dec. 27.--The discussion of the
possibilities of an April primary for the
selection of delegates to the National
Republican convention, has called out
comment which would indicate more
or less prevalent belief that part of the
delegation would be selected by congress
sional districts, as is the custom in some
of the other states but when the primary
act itself is examined, it fails TO show
any provision whatever for the placing
in nomination, or voting for any 9th er
than delegates at large. The provision
for individual candidates provides that
they shall file their requests with the
secretary of state, with request that their
names be placed upon the official ballot
for delegates to the national convention
The group provision under motto is
provided, that group of candidates,
uniting together under a common motto,
expressed in not exceeding five words,
and comprising number equal to the
number of delegates to which the state
is entitled in g national convention,
may join in one request" y
and further that they petition: 1--WE
request that our names as such candi-
dates, under the above motto, be print
ed in list upon the official ballot used
by the ........".... party at the coming
primary"
There is no provision under the law
for any than delegates at large, and the
whole provision of the statute covering
the selection of such delegates apparent.
ly comprehends general state selection,
without regard to districts.

SENATE REPORTS FOR
Gao ACRE HOM ESTEAD

Washington, Dec. 22.-Senator Sterl-
ing's $40 acre grazing homestead bill has
been ordered favorably reported by the
senate public lands committee. The
bill was reported in the same form it
passed the House last session, and SEN
ator Sterling believes the measure will
pass both branches of Congress at an
early date.
Under the terms Of this act, if adopt
ed, the General Land Office will desig-
nate lands not suited for general farm
ing and such tracts will be open for full
section homestead entries as grazing
land.
Previous to the last session Of Con-
gress no homestead filings could be made
in South Dakota for more than 100 acres,
regardless ofthe character of the land.
Senator Sterling secured the passage of 6
law permitting half section entries on
certain agricultural lands and also tried
to secure law for GAO acre entries on
grazing lands The latter bill passed
the House and died" on the Senate
calendar.

British Sex Equation,

There are more women than men in
the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland. Consequently, as mem
ber of the house of lords pointed out
in debate, to grant the parliamentary
franchise to women in the British
islands would mean the handing over
OF the country and of the empire to a
female electorate, which was a peril
Gus step to take" Still, considering
the fighting qualities of the militant
sisters who want to vote, the empire
might be in safe hands If 1t came to
an armed encounter with foreign
foe. However. the argument was ef-
iective, for the lords defeated the
woman suffrage bill which was before
them by vote Of 104 to 60.

Fund Not Centerod

The guaranty fund is not centered at
any one place, but is held By the qua
ranteed banks themselves as a specific
fund set aside for this purpose, which is
first lien upon the assets of the insti-
tuition for payment.
Provision is made TO allow National
banks doing business in this state to
place themselves under the fund when
it can be done without violation of the
Federal banking act, after such banks
have allowed an examination of their
affairs by the state authorities and
placed themselves within the authority
of the state commission for this pur-
pose.
While this act is in force, there are
also two guaranty fund acts TO 90 upon
the ballot for a vote at the next election,
each of them coming in through the
initiatiye route, one very closely resem
bling the law going into effect next Sat
urday; the other decidedly different,
one of its provisions being the creation
Of large fund to be held directly in the
state treasury instead OF as a special de-
posit in the banks themselves as a irst
lien upon their assets.

judges, even on election day, and be

This provision is only for those who
have been absent from the state. The
stay-at.homes must be registered on or
before May l2th. No man can vote
without being registered. No votes can
be sworn i'll on primary day. Some
may think that Section u of this law al
lows person to vote on a previous reg
istration. While it may require an eight
cylinder lawyer to interpret this section,
it seems that this provision relates to a
situation where the town clerk fails to
return the registration book to the audi
tor, in which event the auditor employs
a previous registration to make up list
for the Judges.

BANK DEPOSITS sAREGUARANTEEp.

BAN 4 DEPOSlIS AK h GUARANTEED.
Pierre, Dec. 2S.-After this week, all
deposits in state banks in South Dakota,
will be guaranteed through the bank
guaranty act Of the last legislative ses-
sion. This fund is created by a levy of
onefourth of one per cent of the average
daily deposits in state banks as shown
by the reports OF January first of each
year, which are required to be made to
the guarantee fund commission, said
levy to be made first of the date of Feb
ruary first, 1916, and the first of each
February following until the guarantee
fund equals one and one.half per cent of
the daily balances for the date of Janu-
ary first of each year, after which assess
ments cease until the guaranty fund is
so depleted to one per cent of the total
fund by payments Of losses that may oc
cur, when the leyies are again made un-
ill the fund reaches one and one-half
per cent Of the total daily balances. In
case of bSnk failure when there is not
a sufficient amount in the fund TO paw
the depositors in full, it becomes the
duty of the bank guaranty commission
to issue a certificate against the fund,
bearing rate az five per cent which GER
tihcate becomes payable by the guaran-
teed banks on the first of March follow
ing its issuance.
