terprise OF the well-known jeweler
and auction merchant, Mr.. friedrich
of Virginia, is sufficiently under
stood in these parts. His auction

often the case at public sales Of this

known throughout this portion of
the State, and Is respected as an hon
orable dealer. Therefore those who
bay from him, either at private sale
or at auction. may rest assured that
they will not be taken in. To-day

MUsrc.-The charms Of music are
recognized by all classes of human
ity. Even the brutes, some aver,
are influenced and elevated by GER
tain combinations of musical sounds.
The very earliest records of the hui
man race bear testimony to the fact
that vocal and Instrumental melodies
were known and practiced when the
arts and sciences were in their in
fancy. The Hebrews, Greeks, Ro-
mans, Etruscans, in fact all the an
Gent Peep. es had their instruments
and their songs. The Greeks merely
recited heroic poems, with certain
modulatioDs of voice that must have
added to them somewhat of the mel
ody of our modern harmony. Music
passed through the changes that
characterized the advance of art in
general ont of the darkness of me-
dleval times, until il has now reached
a point of perfection that is especial
ly gratifying. One who understands
the art of producing agreeable vocal
or Instrumental sounds can justly
claim to be so much more civilized
than those who lack that knowledge.
So much importance has been given
in late years to this sort of culture
that the teaching OF singing has been
introduced into our public schools
at the cost OF the State. But there
are many grown up people who have
not had early advantages in this line
and who would be glad TO embrace
the opportunity to improve them
selves. 1t is never too late to begin
in this respect. For history tells us
of an illustrious Greek who, after
mastering ali the sciences of the
time, at the age of thirty began the
study of music, and at length be-
came wonderfully proficient in it.
Anyone who feels an interest in this
accomplishment should be glad to
know that Professor Bora, gentle
man devoted to harmony, and who
is recently from one OF the European
musicai conServatories, is now pre-
pared to give lessons in vocal music
on an entirely new plan. The sys-
tenn is such that one can learn to
read at SIGHT in d short time. He is
at present located at Virginia City,
ard Is prepared to give ample refer
enreS. Those who may wish to join
a class i'll this place, TO receive in
structions twice . week, can leave

We, your committee appointed to
examine aud report upon the condi-
ton of the county buildings, would
respectfully report that we have per-
formed the duty that was assigned
us. That we fad the Court House
in excellent order, with the exception
of the Armory Hall. That the floor
of the Couatv Jail is in bad condi-
ton and We recommend that it be
repaired at an early day; also that q
staple on one OF the outer Jail doors
is out of repair and should be re-
paired. We take pleasure in stating
that the jill is at present unoecupied.
We find that the Board of County
Commissioners are taking measures
to improve the grounds around the
Court House by the erection OF
substantial fence, setting out trees,
etc, and we commend them for their
efforts in that direction. We also
rec ammend that the Armory Hall be
not used as a wood house, but thor
oughly cleaned out and kept so. We
found a lot of ashes in u wooden box
in the Hall, showing great negligence
on the part of the Sheriff.

Your committee on the books of

ing report:
The books of the County Auditor
were found to be kept correctly and

since paid.
Your committee had great deal
of trouble in getting at the correct
ness of the school accounts, owing to
the manner the County Superinten-
dent tMr. CromwelD had managed
the school matters. He kept no ac-
counts, and we had only the stubs of
his warrant book and few bills to
go by. Taking the three districts to-
gether, the Auditors books tailed
| very closely with the stubs Of the
warrant book. Amongst the bills
your committee found the trustees
of Silver City School District No.
| had, to our minds. not been SO care
full Of the interests of the school as
they might have been. Three bills
in favor of Mr.. Cromwell were au-
dited, namely:

March TO- 1915, buggy hire.............. l. 20
1t was understood 10y your COM
mittee the bug@ies were used by
Mr.. Cromwell when visiting schools,
which the school had no right to fur
nish. In the matter of interest, your
committee does not consider the
Trustees authorized to pay It, and
would advise the Trustees of School
| District No to refund the amounts
for the benefit of the school, and
would also recommend the present
| County Superintendent to keep a
book having therein an account for
each school district, charging each
district with the apportionmeut and
cretiiting the disbursements, and
the warrants should state for what
they are drawn. Your committee
believe that il the school bills were
audited b the School Trustees and
| County Superintendent, and the war;
rants drawn by the County Auditor,
the school finances would be more
easily understood. Your committee
would recommend to the Trustees OF
| Dayton 5 hool District No. , the
building OF another water closet fol
the scuOOi cAlluteN, anu cleaning on
the one now in use; ii is certainly il
Il disgraceful condition.
The Trustees of School District
No. 3 are recommended to keep /
book showing the receipts and dis
buYsements Of school, as the law re-
quires. At present they have none
and could tell nothing of the finances
of their district. The Treasurer
and District Attorneys books were
found correct.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted.

Weekly Summary Of the Devils
Gate District Mines.

The break in the stock market
seems to be gradually healing and
confidence is being restored.
While this break has not seriously
interfered with the work Of develop
ment in well organized companies,
it certainly has had . tendency to
retard the opening and working of
outside claims, for the reason that
much money being lost in the sud-
den depreciation of stocks, people
were not able or willing to spend
more in speculations of seeming I'M
certainty. Still our district has not
suffered particularly, tile work in
every quarter progressing favora-
bly,. During the week large body
of water was struck in tie Kossuth
mine, which for a time interfered
with work in tho lower levels. The
other mines that have obtained any
considerable depth have machinery
of sufficient power to handle any
streams they may encounter for
some time to come. Our district is
yet undeveloped. and it will reqn
powerful machinery to thoroughly
do SO. But the indications are so
favorable that those interested feel
justified in any outlay necessary on
that score aud when it has a fair
trial. is properly open, We feel sure
there will be none outside of Vir-
GINA and Gold Hill that will in
miueral wealth compare with the
long neglected Devils Gate Dis
trict. Below We give such particu
lars rs are of interest to the mining
community.

north drift is in 60 feet, the face

idea is sustained from the fact that
the vein matter being passed through
is not of a bunchy character, but
more compsct and of a higher grade.
A winze will be started near the
north liae, dividing this claim and
the Glasgow, following the ore or
vein matter of high grade to some
depth to determine its extent and

shocking Treatment Of Wife.

A shocking case of inhumanity to
y wife, resulting in her death has
Just been developed in Virginia City.
The woman whom brute by the
name of John Lyman year or so
ago took to his bosom, and promised
tn protect, has been found dead in
his house, and the finger Of suspicion,
assisted by the hand of circum-
stances, points to him as the cause,
directly or indirectly, Of her death.
Lately he had abused her, and on
one occasion. while she was yet prone
on childhed, he is ssid to have
shamefully beaten her. Ncighbors
tell thrilling sto-ies Of their uahap-
piness together and of his brutality.
On Tuesday be was before Judge
Cox or charge of cruelty preferred
by his wife, and was fine $3.50 The
night following Mrs. Lyman died,
and the body was taken in charge of
by the coroner. 1t is supposed that
she, in the last stages of chronic des-
pair and sorrow, took poison, or that
he murdered her outright in one of
his tits of cruelty. This latter sus-
picion grew SO strong duriag the day
that he was taken into custody and
lodged in Jail to await future devel-
opments. There was tdS of rope
and summary vengeance 10y IN en-
ragged populace, and should evidence
be divulged fastening the crime upon
Lyman, he will have to be guanied
closely or his existence will be
lbroagh. peremptonly TO close
Mrs. Lyman was formerly the wife Of
-O'Neil, who was killed in j mine, by
whom she had twa children. She
left the following aote in whiel. ta,,
husband and the children are re-
ferred to:
He has done things that bring me
