The mining men of the southwest
ern San Juan have long known what a
zinc melter in Durango would mean
to this great mineral belt. The re-.
port that the Coolbaugh process, which
is being installed in Durango will be
treating ores at an early date, is good
news This means that all zinc mines
in the entire San Juan will be more
active sooner or later. There are
many of them and when they hit their
stride the San Juan will be one of the
heaviest lead-zinc producing sections
in the United States
Every round of shot at the Silver
Key shows up better values, the late
assays returning sos ounces silver and
272 ounces in gold With the vein

Cecilian Glee Club
Event Great Success

The concert given by the Ceeiiiau
Chorus, under the auspices of the
Chamber Of Commerce, drew a large
crowd TO the college auditorium last
Friday evening. The entertainment
was one OF the finest Of It's kind ever
given here. The young ladies, in their
colortul evening gowns presented q
very pleasing appearance, and we
predict great success for them in their

The program opened with selection

number being the medley Of colleg.

Caprice de Concert, was especially
good.
The quartet. composed of Misses
Gribbin, Matthews, Laubmann and
Partner, sang "Dc Coppah Moon. AMI
"Wyukcn, Blynken and Nod" In the
last number, Mrs. Parrish sang with
the quartet and soprano obligato was
sung by Norma Gnbbin. Their voices
blend we'll. and the numbers showed
diligcnt practice.
The piano solo by Miss Ena Miller
was well received. Miss Miller spent
lat year studying in Chicago, and Is
q promising young musician.

Rotarians Entertain
Gunnison Boy Scouts

The Boy Scouts of Gunnison. %
strong. were guests Mt the Rotary
luncheon Monday noon, and enlivcned
the hour with their interest and re-
marks, and the true Rotary spirit they
displayed. AS President Quigley stat
cd in a little talk at the dinner, the Boy
Scout movement antedated Rotary ia

same basic principal OF service, which
IN scout life is interpreted as doing a
good deed every day and receiving no
pay for it," aud like Rotary, has been
intcrnationalized, spreading into
foreign lands and being Incorporated
as "The National Boy Scouts or
America"
This being Boys Week. a move
ment instituted and backed by Rotary
clubs thru the nation, il was quite the
proper thing for the club members to
feast the boys Of the scout troop in
our city who are inbibing tendencies
of clean manhood and growing into
future Rotarians.
Scoutmaster, C. A. Helmecke brot
the following members of the troop:
Marvin Riley, Warde Wilbur, Cha.
Rutland, Lowell Long. Renard Kubiak.
Wesley McDermott, James Bryan, Ray
Hughes, Lawrence Beals, Earl Hughes,
Lewis Miller, Lester Miller, OrviIle
Cochran. Erwin Mergelman, Frank
Johnson, George Duree, Ellard Berry
hill, Joe Wells, Roy Wells, Raymond
Lehman, Evan Shaw, David Work.
Walter Doering, Assistant Scoutmast-
er Harry Osborne and Leonard Lash
brook We're also present as guests of
members.
As guests also, Rev. c. F. Gaiser
and Mrs. w A. Manuel were noted
the latter assisting at the piano with
the songs and furnishing brilliant
piano solo as part of the entertain
ment. A number of jolly songs, led
by Prof. F. Geo. Damson, was fea-
ture of the noon hour.
Introduced by Chairman Clifford II.
Stone, Mr.. Helmecke thanked the club
for their interest in the work, and
was sure the boys themselves appreci-
ated the feeling that group of SUBJ
stantial business men like the Rotari-
ans stood back of their activities ard
was ready to help with things they
might undertake.
Marvin Riley, one of the scouts.
told of the different degrees of scou.
work and how the boys, who are limit
ed between ages of i2 and Is, pro-
dressed from tenderfeet into scouts of
the first class. He told also of their
pledges and duties and the accomplish
ments necessary TO become scou.
leaders, making clean cut and in
structive talk, so that all had bette.
idea of how scouts work. Thereupon
the scouts all arose, gave the salute
and repeated in unison the Boy Scout
Oath.
President Quigley was then called
upon. He was the original Scout
master of the Gunnison troop, and or
ganized it in May 1917, which was
during the opening of hostilit;es in the
World War. There were two troops
of SO members each, but later, when ne
himself went to the front, the number
dvrindled to one troop. Mr.. QuiRley
called 4 . preparatory school 10 Ro-
tary and advocated the formation Of
larger groups of boys in the Scouts
and more active work for them.

 The fact that the last two years have been unusually mild in most parts of the country has provoked many assertions that winters are be- coming warmer, bureau officials say. but records can be furnished to the contrary. Periods have occurred and will occur again when for a few years the weather has seemed or will seem to be noticeably warmer or colder than the average. While there are well-recognized altera- tions in climatic conditions. as of wet or dry, hot or cold, little is known with regard to definite laws of sequence of weather conditions over extended periods.

TOURIST TREND ALAsKAWARD

What promises to be the greatest year for the sightseeing tourist has already begun,says the Ketchikan News. Alaska should come into her rightful heritage this year, for mo- where on earth is there a trip com parable to 1t.
 Seattle has worked it's civic pride to a shadow in an attempt at abat- ing the smoke nuisance common to the Puget Sound, but it is not likely that those engaged in the effort of land clearing will pay much atten- tion to a meaningless bill passed by the Washington State Legislature prohibiting burnings during the only burning season.
 Prideful Seattleites should direct their attention Alaskaward. Here is a trip Surprlslngly free rom smohe and even fog. The California trip by water. while most interesting, cannot compare with the delightful ness of an Alaska trip. The famous inside passage" is a continual sur prise to the tourist; islets and hills and snow-capped peaks through which the steamers thread their way, in their very nearness and approach ableness constitute a trip so pleasur- able, so healthful and at the same time so economical that Seattle may very proftably call of it's barrage on the settlers smoke screen and boost more effectively for Alaskan travel.
