Twin Falls, two years after water

opened a $30,000 school building.
Now, three years later, it has voted
bonds to build its second school
building modeled after the Long
fellow school at Boise, at a cost of
$50,000. That is the way public
enterprises grow in that wonderful

AN IMPORTANT INDUSTRY.
Here is both a beautiful and
truthful tribute to the mining in
dustry, embraced in an address
delivered before the late annual
meeting of the American Mining
; congress held at Joplin, Mo., by
H. J. Cantwell:
j There is no modern industry
^ which does not have, as the base
of its existence, the products

, States. From iron was produced
in the United States all tbe ma
chines which went into every in
dustry other than mining.
The production of zinc ore and
metal makes possible all theelec
j trical manufactures, and supplies
the inside paints of the world,
The production of lead makes
possible all the underground
cables, furnishing the outside
paints in the United States, and
the conduits by which the modern
systems of plumbing are possible,
thus giving civilized man an
abundance of pure water; one of
the greatest gifts of God to man.
The greater part of the produc
tion of copper is consumed in
electrical devices for the trans
mission of power, light and heat.
Gold furnishes the basic value
of debts at least, preventing the
enslavement of this race of debt
ors to the foreign creditor.
The use of petroleum has mul
tiplied the capacity of man in
every field.
The use of phosphate rock has
revolutionized agriculture.
Consider how the development
of the western continent has been
brought about! Remember that
the first incentive to the early
explorations of the Spaniards,
and to the later settlements of
the French in this magnificent
delta, was the search for miner
als. Fresh in the memory of
many men now living is the de
velopment of the iron industry
in Alabama and Tennessee, and
the
transformation
thereby
wrought. Consider western Penn
sylvania before the oil, gas, coal,
and iron were developed, and
view it today, the heart of the
manufacturing district of the
world.
Picture the shores of Lake
Michigan before the copper and
iron were developed, and know
of the wondrous changes in New
York and Chicago by the making
of a thousand millionaires from
the deposits of the Mesabi range.
Contemplate the first develop
ment of southern Missouri was
built to reach the famous Iron
Mountain! See what Joplin and
the adjacent districts have be
come under the influence of the
zinc mining industry.
Alaska sat, since the glacial
period, silent, grim, and impene
trable until the miner's fiery ar
dor melted the icy chains and re
leased the golden flood. Alaska,
for the purchase of which our
government was criticised as be
ing prodigal in paying the sum
of $7,000,000 40 years ago, to
day produces annually a total of
more than $21,000,000 in gold
and in other mine products, and
is producing of forest, fishery and
farm three times as much more.
Airica, which since the loss of
King Solomon's mines was aban
doned to the barbarian and beast
by the genius of the miners,
Rhodes and Hammond, today is
yielding millions of wealth of
every conceivable form for the
uses of man,
California, which lay across the
barren waste of the great Ameri
can desert, over which the slow
steps of the forty-niner wearily
dragged—under the lure of the
mine, and by reason of the min
ing industry—has now become
the most fertile spot on God's
footstool.
