Supt. F. NJ. Shell was called to KIo-

from the decision of the school board
at that place. Recently the Board ex.
PEELED three children of Joseph Lamb
from the city schools on the ground
that they were not residents of the
state and district. Mr.. Lamb claim
ed that the children are under the guar
dianshIp of their grand parents who re-
side in the city of Kiowa. After hear
ing all the evidence in the case Sups.
Shell sustained the board, basing his
decision on Lambs evidence almost
exclusively. Mr. Shell says there IS NO
doubt but that the children are resi-
dents of the strip and under the law
must pay tuition to enter the Kiowa
school. The case may be appealed to
the district court but it would be
cheaper for Mr.. Lamb to pay tho re-
quired tuition fee which would no,
amount to much more than SIS. It
costs something to litigate.

BILE with the insurance company over

little singular that Insurance compa-
MES will send men out all over the
country soliciting fire risks, and just as
soon as there is loss they spend as
much or more time in trying to get out
of paying it as they did in the first place
to get the risk. They ought, at least,
show some little interest in the pay
ment as we'll as go much In writing the
risk. Of course we are well aware of
the fact that It is very important for
them to use every means possible to as
certain whether the loss was an honest
one or not,but just.as soon as they have
satisfactory proof Of this fact we think
they should at oLce pay what they
agreed TO and not have man earn his
money liberalization Express.

The traveller, tourist or business

the glimpse it affords of the Temple

DeLamar's First Fire.

what may be called DeLamar' !
hrst hre occurred at one O'Clock on
Monday afternoon when the black
smith shop of L. P. Christensen
situated on Mill ST., directly in tine
gulch, was destroyed.
The proprietor was around the
place, but when first discovered the
hre was well advanced and before
the general alarm sounded the
building was entirely enveloped in
flames.
Hosehouse No. Z of the DeLanlar
20. was the nearest available water
The town supply was shut off and
NO rs hose run out. 1t proved
twenty feet short Before addition
al hose could be brought the burn
ing building had fallen in and there
was great danger for a time that the
lire would spread to the adjoining
houses, through series of tents
and destroy the entire upper part
of town.
Water buckets and dippers pre-
vented this and finally, with addi-
tlonal hose secured from the mill
premises, good head of water was
turned on and the fire extinguished. |
The building was about 25 feet
Al
long with a small corral addition
Tor storing hay. The fire is suppos-
ed to have started from sparks.
The Building and contents were en-
tirely destroyed.

Seeking Other Homes

Last Thursday evening fourteen
people arrived from Virginia City on
the stage, having left the Comstoea
to try other fields for living, says
the Reno journal. Most of them
enroute to Butte City. For two or
three weeks past the exodus from
the old range has been very marked
and tbs said that fully two hundred
people are planning to move away
during the fall. One of the men
who left Thursday evening, after
having packed what he intended to
ship away, told his neighbors to
help themselves to what remained
as he could not afford to ship it and
couldsnot sell it. There wasa num-
Der of pieces of good household and
kitchen furniture, but he simply
abandoned the property. This in
cident is given as a fact by one who
claimed to have witnessed the
proceeding. Taking into consider
alton those who are compelled to
eave the State to seek for means to
earn a livelihood and the six or
seven hundred men, some of whom
nave gone and more to go in answer
o the eountry's call, startling de-
'rease in Nevada's small population
$ painfully evident.

Temple Bar Company.

On inquiry at the office of the
Temple Bar Mining Company we
learned that the plant is steadily
progressing towards completion, all
the boilers being in place, and pre-
parations nearing an end for the
erection of the pumping plant.
The Colorado River has commenc-
ed to fall without having risen this
season higher than nine feet ten
inches above low water mark. and
without having brought any drift
wood of consequence. There is
however, any quantity of this fuel
deposited on the company's proper
ty little above the works.
On the completion of the erection
OF the machinery the gravel wash
ing will commence Mohave Coun-
ty Miner.
Mr.. Hand, the mining expert
whose presence here was mentioned
two weeks ago is giving this whole
section a thorough sampling and
inspection. He has examined care
fully the mines ut Phoebe, and yes
terday went with assistants, to Jack
rabbit and Bristol Districts where
he will spend several days. 1t is
understood he will go from here
southwest to DeLamar and points
beyond, all supposedly in the inter-
est OF railroad construction, looking
upt he mineral resources of the coun-
ty In order to estimate possible tom
mage on completion of any road that
may be put through.
The new route and schedule be-
tween Milford aud DeLamar. run
ring VIA Stateline and Phoebe is
satisfactory, but it is proposed to
improve 1t by running direct over
the hill from Phoebe to DeLamar
and furnishing the Panaca mail ON
a separate route. The postmasters
al the various offices are willing and
recommendations for the change
nave been forwarded to the Depart
'nent At Washington. The change |
'Viil give the Panaca mail as prompt |
y as at present and will save ten
miles on the through route.
