This particular mine has over 100 miles of underground workings which under present costs would remiire the expenditures of nearly $50 000,000 to duplicate. It now rusts about $35.00 to drive a foot of tunnel and about $200.00 to sink one foot of shaft. Since the early sixties mining has been an active industry in Utah. The state has become the leading non-ferro- (gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc) mining and' smelting center in the world. During that time much of the shallow ore has been mined and workings are progressively deeper. Costs inherant in deeper work are obvious.

Super-tende- nt A. M. Maughan is now re-leasing this information for publi-cation, with the attendance com-ment: "The Summary of Attendance Report which folows is of interest to all citizens siruee it not only shows the percent number of stud-ents absence to a cost basis show-ing how much money is lost to the district as a result of at school. It no doubt will help parents to know that it costs school districts in Utah 64c each time an elementary stud-ent is out and 96c for each time a high school student is absent. In other words, under the Utah method of financing schools now, the money is distributed to school districts on the basis of average daily attendance. There are, of course many good reasons why students should not be in school, of which illness is the main one. We do not expect nor want children in school when they are ill or suffering from collds . However, many absences are avoid able and we urge parents to with the School Board in reducing all absences that can be avoided to the very minimum. Mrs. O. R.
