has been delving deep into the base of
White Pine, single-handed and alone en-
deavoring to carry out Walton's magnii-
cent scheme of tunneling through the
great mountain. Last Monday night he
came to town. and feeling somewhat de-
spondent at his slow progress in his
mighty undertaking, he wooed the jolly
god Bacchus rather freely till late hour,

so forcibly that he broke the lady's right

excessive gallantry he was lodged in

and said " he didn't mean anythings-it

SCHOOL MATTERS. Learning that the
public school at this place was to close for
some time, we interviewed School Trus-
tee Liddle, who confirmed the report and
gave the following reasons The trustees
do not think it advisable to keep the
school open ut q season of the year when
many of the children cannot possibly at
tend, and that too when the expenses are
necessarily greater. The school fund is
also considered small, and the trustees

COUNTY FINANCES. To-day we lay be-
fore our readers a statement from County
Auditor Timson, showing the receipts and
expenses of the county for the past two
years, which gives a balance in favor OF
the county of 1921 o., although the cost
the Nye county strip $3.50 5n, and
the Indian wal claims 1891 20), are both
included in the expenses. The total in
debtednsss of the county at the beginning
of the present year was $144,55O 30, de-
Quoting $11,737 80, cash in treasury.
the net indebtedness is $132.812 SO.
Should the county continue to do as we'll
for several years more as it has in the
preceding two. and no unusual demands
be made on our resources, our county
would be in a better condition financially
than it has been since 1869.

great suow storm of the season set in and
continued all day Wednesday. About
20 inches of snow fell. Duringt the storm
it was perfectly calm. but Wednesday

be several before the roads can be opened

CHERRY CRFEK. From a gentleman
lust in from Cherry Greek, we learn that
that once livelycamp is again looking mp.
The Star mine, our informant states, has
been sold to San Francisco capitalists,
comprising Senator Jones and others,
and the plan seems to be to commence
active operations Immediately. Cherry
Creek has been under cloud for some
time, and we are glad to learn that a
brighter era is dawning upon her peo-
