ANOTHER TEACHER FOR THE
 CORDOvA SCHOOLS

At a meeting of the school board, held Saturday evening. 1t was decided to add another teacher to the corps of instructors, as the recent census taken shows that the number of school children here has about doubled on account of the increased number of families who have located in Cordova during the past few months.
 Miss Ethel Burroughs, of Chico, California, was selected as the extra teacher. She comes highly recom- mended, and will be assigned to the primary department, which will be divided into two rooms. There are now fifty-four pupils enrolled for the first six grades, and twenty-one for the four grades above. The indications are that the number Of children here when school opens will be still fur ther increased, and the board Is mak- ing the necessary arrangements to care for their instruction.

COL ORADO'S MINERAL OUTPUT
 S1OO,OOO,OOO THIS YEAR

central Colorado. From the train in the national forest it was discovered a silent. grass grown, deserted village, clustered about huge mill filled with rusty machinery. In the houses were furniture. Everywhere was the evi- dence of nasty departure.
 "The production of gold and silver this year should range around $SO,- 900 ,OOO," said Frederick Carroll, state commissioner of mines, who is com piling the biennial report, Tt should iecxeed that of last year, which itself made a record. I look for a total pro duction of gold, silver, lead, zinc and tungsten of about $100.O00,OC0, al though, lead and zinc ores are still a by-product in Colorado; only half dozen mines shipping silver alone.
 "Our reports show many properties closed because of the presence of zinc and lead and tungsten in precious me tai ores, are now operating at profit, due to the higher values, where before they worked at a loss.
 We have noted the presence Of agents of eastern syndicates in the state making investigations Of old abandoned properties. indicating the belief is strong in the east that prices will be maintained.
 "A report has reached us that the Morgan interests are negotiating for nroperties in the rich Aspen district which. if true, is significant for the future of silver.
 "Eyerv mine in Colorado is short handed. else the years production would be greater from the established producing plants.
 "The boom in tungsten that started last fall is over, but the development work that followed the boom has been done at a profit and now the mines can meet any price at profit.
 we can guage the number of pros | pectors in the mountains only by the number that come for Identification o ores to our free assay bureau. These average twenty-five per day. while th' Colorado School of Mines have made more than 5000 tests for prospectors.'

MANY CHANGES IN LONDON.
 BUSINESS SHOPS

LONDON, Aug. '. - Changed in many ways is London since the war began, but nowhere is the transfor- nation more marked than in the cos mopolitan district called Soho, in the West End, within a stones throw of Piccadilly Circus, Soho is not the hustling, merry place of pre-war days. The great conflict has made it quiet, almost lifeless, for Frenchmen, Bel gians. Italians, Germans and Austrians who had their home in Soho have gone.
 The change is even more pro nounced in Charlotte street. The Ger man chemists, German laundries, Ger man restaurants, German clubs and German paper shops have gone, There was even a Christliches Kellerheim Ga home for Christian waiters). It is closed now; there are no German walters. German books have been moved from the booksellers windows; German signs have disappeared and certain shopkeepers are at pains to announce that they are French or Bel gian firms.
 The Belgians have lost their coun. try for the moment, but they have taken their revenge in Charlotte street. There is no gainsaying their victory there. Instead of the cafes and restaurants with German signs there are establishments named after Belgian towns And in them may be seen Belgian soldiers on leave drink Ing coffee.

DENVER, Colo, Aug. '. - Colorado has come back to her mineral wealth this summer in manner significant of permanency under the spur of in creased prices for silver, lead, zine, copper and tungsten. The hills, peaks, gulches and canyons are filled with prospectors, drawn from the limits of the north and southwest and the echo of shots and crashing rock makes startling music to drowsing range cattle, browsing about mine workings deserted these thirty years or so.
 Until this spring it was firm be- lief among old miners that the Colo rado peaks have been merely scratched" for their mineral wealth. Today the peaks are being 'rawhid- ed" The result of the rush to the hills, is a dearth of men on the farms and ranges and ranches that Is grow ing into a grave problem as the sea son advances.
 Even the big mining corporations in Cripple Creek and Leadville have been compelled to bid with higher wages to operate full shifts while re- yiving mining in "the San Juan" dis trict of Southern Colorado was un- able to stay this rush that slid on snowshoes over the peaks in the early summer stalking tungsten land.
 Properties abandoned because of low prices and necessity for improved machinery now boast re-equipment and dividends have replaced assess. ments.
 Record deposits in banks in all parts of the state indicate the treasure that has been found since last fall. The little town of Boulder alone shows an increase of $1,000,OOO. A bank started in the spring at Nederland Boulder county, holds over $1Oo,oot of tungsten" money.
 prospectors from the hills report the discovery of little towns, lost to mem ory of the present generation. that one time housed hundreds of inhabitants about the shafts of mines. snch discovery was that at Holy Cross, 1T

SEEKING SUBSTITUTE F0R. MAPLE SHOE LASTS

MADISON, Wis, Aug. '. - Owing to the European war and the general scarcity of properly seasoned maple in the United States the shoe last manufacturers are seeking a substi- ute and also cheaper method of sea- soning maple wood. Experiments are in progress here at the forestry pro- duets laboratory Of the University of Wisconsin, which are being aided by one of the large factories to both cheapen and expedite the seasoning processes now in use.
 AS lasts play an important part In the manufacture of shoes and boots. their cost is an important item in the ultimate cost of these articles of wear to the consumer.
 Approximately 20.000.000 wooden lasts are used each year, frequent use and rapidly changing styles quickly making them useless.
 At present shoe lasts are air dried for six months and then kiln dried. To obviate the costly air dried pro cess the laboratory is trying to find drying process of the green block direct from the mill.

ROOM |S NEEDED FUR FACTORY
 EMPLOYEES

LONDON, Aug. [. - School rooms or moving picture palaces may be taken by the government as temporary living quarters for women and girls employed either in the intuition fac tories or in the ordinary business of London and other large cities. It will be one way of solving one of the questions forced into prominence by the war, namely, the housing of thou sands of women workers. To this end women of the upper and middle class whose age prevents them from entering intuition factories or taking service on the farm are urged to as sist the government in improvising comprehensive scheme.
 Scarcity of labor has stopped build Ing and the small cottages in or near the big centers of population are in unusual demand. The sudden increase in the number of intuition workers has involved great migrations of labor. If there is a scarcity, amounting al most to a famine, of small houses, in a good many cases. though not in all, large houses can be obtained. The cost of living has led upper and mid de class families to migrate from the large house to the small one or flat. Many large houses are empty, but the women have yet to get together on a plan to occupy them economically or in keeping with their incomes. An ap- neal was recently made to landlords to allow the temporary occupation of such dwellings. to be conducted as hotels or shared out among women.
 At few women's hotels these wo- men obtain comfort and excellent meals at an exceedingly modest price Such a result is possible only by com bination and cooperation, because Nlone in a rooming house women could not live so cheaply. Where there is an absence of houses the government is considering using moving picture houses or school rooms.

RED GROSS LOOKING AFTER
 SOLDIERS ON BORDER

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. z. - The American Red Cross has undertaken to supply comforts and necessaries to the National Guardsmen on the Mexi- can border and to this end has estab- lshed receiving stations in nearly all the large Pacific coast cities, where supplies and contributions are re- ceived. These supplies are to be shipped to the border, where they will be distributed through the Red Cross agents.
 Under a recent proclamation of President Wilson. all supplies and comforts for the guardsmen must pass through the Red Cross. For this req son the society has established receiv- ing stations in all the chief cities of the country. Appeal is being made for reading matter, games, comfort bags. pajamas, cotton socks, towels, pipes, tobacco, cigarettes, electric fans for base hospitals, chewing gum, chocolate in tins, hard candies, cof- fee, evaporated cream, canned fruits and thousand other articles.
 Pamphlets have been sent out, in which the articles desired are de- scribed, and the method of making the hospital supplies needed.

DRIVING TUBE UNDER TWIN
 PEAKS TO OPEN UP LAND

the district near the Golden Gate Park.
 For years San Francisco has dreamed of piercing the big range of hills that lies to the southwest, and cuts 1t off from the rest of the penin- suia, but not until M. NJ. O'Shaugh- messy, the present city engineer, pre- pared the plans for the tunnel, were any actual steps taken. The tunnel also will prove a factor, it is expected, in the scheme now being advocated to consolidate several peninsula cities w'lh Sir Francisco.
 The contract for the work was let to a local firm for s3.372,000. Other expenses will run the cost up to about $4,0OO,O00 The lands lying in the vii cinity are being assessed for the i'm provement
 Inside the tunnel is seventeen feet high and fourteen feet wide. Double tracks will be built Two air shafts have been sent down from the top of the mountain. At one place the tube goes 570 feet beneath the surface.
 Large flows of water from under ground springs were met by the dig gers, and pumps were installed, which are now bringing 5000 gallons of wa ter daily out of the hole. Eventually the water will be carried off in porous tile drains.
 At one place the men ran across the line of a brick water tunnel of the Spring Valley water company, built in 1865. As 1t was eight feet above the tunnel. it was necessary to sink a shaft around and under the water tunnel before the earth could be taken from below the water pipe. As soon as the concrete tube was driven be- yond the supply line, the water was turned back into its original course.
