=, .be appointment of a teacher for the
p,;stol school is caused, so the County
Soot of Schools has been informed, by
latter, by the jealousy of ancient widows,
and for what the RECORD knows, is in all
probability the true facts. At least we
are willing to accept them as such until
informed different. We quote the fol-
loving extract from the letter, which was
written by, we suppose, lady: 81 learn
that a petition has been sent you, signed
nv four women, who consider themselves
the whole population of Bristol, certify |
ing that they desire certain young man
for teacher. There must be mistake
somewhere Those four women did not
sign their names to that paper. Two
of the names were signed by daughters.
Women who cannot sign their names
ghould never undertake running DIS
trict school, These women have nothing
to say against the good name or conduct
of the young lady who has taught our
school always. All they want is man.
A man whom certain lady are DESTROYS
of insnaring into their traps and gather
ing in. 1t is the desire of three
fourths of the population Of Bristol that
the old teacher shall be appointed, and 1t
is hoped trustees favorable to her will be
appointed to fill vacancies, notwithstand.

unhappy widows"
NEED WoRKs.-This part of the coun.
try is in need of reduction works. Works
that can work ore that assays from $50
and upwards. There are large quantities
of this ore out along the range, but as
there are no works for its reduction it is
Of no account. The $50 ore is not worth
extracting, for the miner can get nothing
for it. The buyers cannot afford to pur-
chase it and ship it to Salt Lake for re-
duction. They can afford to purchase
none but ore of high grade. Reduction
works, for the working of low grade ore,
located down about the Eight Mile
House, that would deal fairly with the
miners, would yield an immense profit to
its owners. The mines along the range,
from Stampede to Bristol Divide, would
be worked and the reduction works kept
busy, but at the present state OF affairs
men are unable to get anything tor ore
that samples less than 500. If it be true
it pays to work $l2 ore, or less, in Col
orado, we know no reason why from S3(
to $50 ore should not pay in Nevada
There is large field here for compan!
to operate in that erects reduction work
for the working of low grade ore.
ELECTION. -Most of the school dis
tricts in Lincoln county held an election
