Excerpt from Small-Town Stuff To many the writing of a book upon the small town will seem to be a work of supererogation. To them the facts about Main Street and its inhabitants are already only too well known. A childhood and youth of village life or even a casual visit suffices to provide them with all that is to be known about the small town. But the materials presented on "Mineville" show how close and how far from the facts these popular impressions may be. For this book presents a total picture of the intimate aspects of village life sensed perhaps but not fully appreciated by its oldest inhabitants and only in part approximated in the literature. Earlier sociological inquiries have dealt largely with the history and the formal organization and customary behavior of community life. Fiction, it is true, has entered into the thoughts and feelings of the residents of the small town, but has concentrated upon a few selected characters with only incidental reference to the total drama of community life. It was with the purpose of obtaining a picture of the small-town community as a whole and as revealed by penetration into the inner lives of its members that this study was undertaken.

CHAPTER I A BIRD'S-EYE VIEW OF MINEVILLE1 Nestled in the Rocky Mountains, a mile above sea-level, is Mineville, unknown to most of the world but keenly conscious of itself. In 1865 its site was first visited by a white man who found gold- and silver-bearing ores on a mountain, which is partly within the northeastern corner of the present city limits. At the base of this "hill," for what an easterner would call a mountain is called a hill in Mineville, there was erected in 1867 the first quartz mill in a vast unexplored region-the recently wrecked Luck Mill. As a matter of course, the town grew up at the edge of the hill so that the men might be close to the place of their labors. And so it lies scattered over gulches and hillsides, when there was available, less than a mile to the west, the beautiful, level Stone Creek Valley. The drainage waters of the immediate vicinity flow into and form Stone Creek, which furnishes irrigation water for the fertile fields of its long valley.
