Educational Measurements

Educational Measurements
Examinations constituted the chief
source Of JOY for the student body
during the past week. In addition to
the regular examinations for the
month an effort is being made thru
the use Of intelligence tests and the
application Of educ ational measure
ments to establish the classification
Of our school and to fix standards
that will compare fsvorably with the
work being done in the public schools
all over the Western slope.
We cannot lose sight Of the fact
that our school is making rapid prog
ress in the matter Of growth and fur
ther we have every reason to look for,
and every right to expect that similar
progress will be made in the way Of
reaching the ever-changing goals set
for education by each new generation.
The road Of progress lies ever along
the frontier of human knowledge
and to travel it one must follow trails
that are obscure, but follow it we
must If we are to be counted by our
fellows as vital factors in the society
in which we move. A knowledge Of
the past helps us only as it suggests
a course of action for the future.
Original woodwork that results
in departure from the comfortable
groove in which we have moved for
ages, oftentimes requires effort that
causes fatigue, but:

the Silver World. The paper was
printed in tent, as there were then
TO houses in Lake City. The first
issue of the Silver World was carried
by the editor, Mr.. Wood, over the
range to Del Norte, on snow shoes
and the publication of this paper
started the Lake City boom.
TIE same year there was ore dis
covered by Captain Cline and party
in the vicinity of where Ouray now is,
and the United States Government
established an Indian post on the I'M
compahgre river. There was no road
to the Uncompahgre and the present
site Of the. town Of Ouray, 70 Mr..
Mears projected and built one called
the Lake Fork Of the Gunnison, con-
Meeting with the Saguache and Lake
City road f''sf, =
In the fall of 1876, as recorded in
Chapter x, the contract for carrying
the mail to the Uncompahgre Agency
was given Mr. Mears He was in-
formed by the Assistant Postmaster
General that heavy fine, would be
imposed for failure. Accordingly. to
make sure Of prompt deliveries, he
began carrying the mail in tobog-
gan drawn by dogs, with man along
side on Norwegian shoes. There was
not a trip missed until spring COM
menced when the snow got soft. The
few people who were in Ouray at that
time got in their tobacco, coffee. su-
gar, and other supplies by mail, which
made it SO heavy that 1t was impos-
sible to. carry it with dogs. There
was also in the mail ladies' hats and
dry goods, and in carrying 1t the man
with the dogs would sit down on the
toboggan and mash the whole thing
up, so that tobacco sugar, coffee,
black powder and ladies' hats got SO
badly mixed that the people of Ouray
complained to the department. The
department decided that mail which
had to be carried on snow shoes and
toboggans should not be used to get
in ladies' hats and general supplies.
In March Of 1876 the snow got SO
bad that neither dogs nor snow shoes
could be used. consequently the car
riers quit their jobs. Complaint was
made to Washington about monde
livery of mail. Mr.. Mears, who was
occupied in performing mail con-
tracts in other portions of the San
Juan, upon being advised from Wash
ington of the complaint which had
been made, started to carry the mail
himself, as he could get no one to
undertake it. At the Lake Fork of
the Gunnison the snow was still about
two feet deep, very soft with the
water running underneath, and with
every step he sank down with the
mail on his back. Finally, after three
days in which much hardship and IA
tigue were endured, he got into the
Uncompahgre valley with the mail,
had the trail opened and the mail
again went in regularly.
He next built the toll road from
Silverton up the Animas river to An
imas Forks and Mineral Point. While
the Denver and Rio Grande was build
ing into Durango, he built a road
from Durango to Fort Lewis. He also
constructed road from Gunnison to

guache at the upper end of the valley,

Mr. Mears, finding cutting grain by
hand sic1lles and threshing with sheep,
very slow and expensive process, in
1867 brought into the San Luis valley
the first mower, reaper and threshing
machine. When the threshing ma
chine arrived in the San Luis valley
the Mexicans, on seeing it work, re-
fused to have their grain threshed, as
they claimed the machine was steal
ing it, and they went back to the old
way of threshing by sheep.
|. By the time he raised wheat the
Government price for flour dropped
50 low that it did not pay to ship the
wheat to Coneios and he had to hunt
another market. He went over to the
Arkansas valley where at that time
Charles Nachtrieb was building a
mill. and found that there would be
market for flour at Granite and Cali
fornia Gulch. He found, however.
that there was no wagon road from
|Saguache to the Arkansas valley, but
only trail over Poncha Pass, SO he
commenced the construction Of road
down Poncha Pass, to enable him to
haul his wheat to the mill in the Ar
kansas valley. While constructing
his road, old Governor Gilpin, who
was the owner Of the Baca grant in
Coz ,,ss ,,aIlay cov,a olcrrr -. h<,,.o<
back. He was very much interested
in the wagon road, as he wanted peo-
pie to be able to get into the valley
from the northern end, and at that
time suggested to Mr.. Mears the ad-
visibility Of constructing his road on
such = grade as could be utilized for
railway, which he said would GER
tainly be built over that pass. Mr..
Mears, Of course, looked upon the
Governors advice as joke, for there
was not even railroad then to Dem
yer; but the Governor met him so
many times and talked so earnestly
on the future Of Colorado that Mr..
Mears finally became impressed with
the Governors ideas. The building
of this road was the origin Of the
Mears system of toll roads in the San
Juan country, and opened the first
wagon road to the San Luis valley
from the Arkansas river.
In 1871, when the first silver ex-
citement commenced in the San Juan,
Mr.. Mears, Enos Hotchkiss and others
organized company to build wagon
road from Saguache to Howardsville,
in San Juan county, across Cochetopa
Pass to the Cebolla valley, and from
there over the Lake Fork of the Gun
nison to the present site of Lake City.
Mr.. Hotchkiss, who was a miner, dis
covered the first mine in the vicinity
of Lake City. He called it the
"Hotchkiss" mine, but in recent years
the name has been changed to the
Golden Fleece"
In 1872 Mr.. Mears started a news
paper at Saguache, called the asa
guache Chronicle" for the purpose of
advertising the San Luis valley.
After the Hotchkiss mine was dis
covered, he with others, incorporated
the town of Lake City, and, feeling
that the outside world ought to know
of the silver and lead deposits at that
place, published newspaper called
