the fifth class last week. Trouble
with her eyes was. the cause of her
withdrawal.
The advanced German class
finished the reading of Shiller's
drama, "Wilhelm Tell" last week
and commenced the reading of

The sophomore class took up
the study of botany Monday. The
text book that they are using is

The High School foot ball team
was disappointed in the "walk-off"
it expected to find Las Animas
last Saturday. However, all are
well satisfied and are sure to win
next time. They were treated very
courteously by their opponents
and the best of feeling was dis
played throughout the entire game.
The score stood S to S.
A general wave of class spirit
and class pride swept over the
High School last week with the
result that each class now has its
own class organization, colors and
yells. The colors adopted last
week by the different classes were
as follows: Fifth class, green and
white; fourth class, red and laven

A large and appreciative audi

auditorium last Friday night to
listen to the rendering Of the
regular literary program of the
Columbian Literary Society. The
program was very entertaining and
called forth commendable effort on
the part OF each member of the
society. The program was opened
with song by mixed quartette.
Misses Battey and Burnett and
Messrs Allen and Turley consti-
tuted the quartette. Miss Blanche
Battey then amused the audience
with humorous description of the
manner which a Boston man
"showed 'em how to conduct
literary society" The usual mo-
notony Of such programs was done
away with very nicely by the music
of the Mandolin Club. Their
selections were very pleasing and
called for hearty encores. Lucy
Rockwell paid beautiful tribute
to flowers which was very en-
joyable part of the program. A
piano solo by Miss Nellie Drury
was we'll executed, especially

Inspector Conquest tells many enter talnlng anecdotes of his relations with Mr. Gladstone. whom he was specially told o1 to shadow during the trou- blous times Of 1881. The premier, who. as Is well known. chafed under tho yigllant supervision to which he was subjected. was fertile in expedients to get rid of the detective. Upon one oeca- slon be attempted a particularly in- genlous ruse. Entering a club. of which he was a member. he persuaded a friend of about his own build to walk out wearing bis unmistakable hat and 0vercoat and carrying his umbrella Mr. Gladstone hoped. of course. that hls unwelcome attendant might be mis- led ln the dusk of an autumn evening and thus allow an opportunity to es- cape.
 The astute detective saw the familiar garments leaving the club. but was not deceived as Co the Identity of their wearer Gait Is one of the most diff cult things In the world to initiate. and Mr. Gladstone's was intensely charac- terlstic Inspector Conquest simply walked up Co the wearer of borrowed plumes. administered his most profes- sional tap on the shoulder and said.

by that company are now idle. The
mine was paying, but young bloods
from the school of mines in London
were placed in charge and they put
in their time playing golfand drink
ing champagne. 1t is understood
that mining men of experience will
be put in charge and the mines re-
opened.

Nearly Completed.

The work on the compilation of
the statutes is nearly completed.
Mr.. Cutting is now busily engagde
getting the index ready for the prin-
ter, AZ I when finished will send
them to the Supreme Court judges
for their endorsement, and then
they will be turned over to the State
Printer. The force at the State print
ing office, in the meantime laid off,
but will probably resume work with
in a week.
The compilation will be by all
odds the most complete ever made
in the State. A very desirable fea-
ture of the work will be reference
to the Supreme Court decisions bear
ing upon each statute so that instan-
taneous reference can be made.
This feature was the idea of the
late Attorney General Beatty, who
started compilation on these lines
but was not allowed to finish it and
was at work on it when he died.
Mr.. Cutting purchased the work
begun by Beatty from his heirs and
wisely followed the same general
idea, thus enabling Nevada to have
a compilation of its laws, which will,
when issued, be the best that has
ever been issued here and the equal
of any State in the union. Mr.. Gut
ting is to be congratulated on his
thoroughness in completing the
work.-Carson Appeal.

Government,

The nobility of Russia in each and
every province, who form kind of
corporation in the eyes of the govern
ment with a marshal at its head, are to
be allowed to establish special board
ing houses or homes for those OF their
children who attend the middle-cass
schools, but quite separate from such
schools.
The government undertakes to pay
the full cost of establishing these in
stitulions, which sill come under the
supreme control q ,he n,tister OF pub

pills are to receive 3oa3J, Lodging,
clothes, linen, boots. schoolDooks, pc
cuniary assistance. n.aA II necessary,
personal help in doing their home les
sons after school hours The govern
ment also engages to pay half the year
ly cost of supporting them. The prefer
ence in accepting boarders as well as
gratuitous maintenance will be given
to the children whose fathers hold any
official post in the corporation of their
class or in the Zemstvos, or who have
formerly held such post for not less a
period than nine years. The nobility are
also granted the right of founding
scholarships for their boys in the higher
and intermediary establishments OF ed
ucation, for which the government like
wise provides half the necessary funds.
At the same time an annual sum of 1885,
750 roubles win be paid out of the inn
perial eXchequer for the free educa-
tion of AIS boys in two of the new mil
itary cadet schools.
This curious piece of class legislation
will give the landed nobility of Russia
a far cheaper education for their chill
dren than any that is put in the way of
the other antiquated social categories
into which the Russian population is
still divided Pail Mall Gazette

Rescued Prisoners.

Elmer Honeyman, Nevada re-
cruit was captured near Cavite and
after eleven months captivity, res
cued ON Dec. 18th, last together
with other American prisoners. In
a letter recently written he stated
how he and Bruce were treated
They were three times sentenced to
death and were paraded through the
native villages with the announce
ment that lots of other American
prisoners were also coming, after
which collections would be taken up
among the inhabitants to assist war
expenses. They were nearly starv-
ed and were left almost naked, and
forced to accompany the native
troops through the mountains.
Their suffering were terrible and
their thankfulness at rescue was
almost beyond expression.

Chain The Grand Canyon.

"Says the Mohave County Miner;
Some day in the not distant future
the great gorge, fashioned by nature,
the Grand Canyon of the Colorado,
will contain plants for the genera
ton of electricity that will astonish
the world. Nowhere on the Amer
ican continent are the possibilities
for great power generating plant
so great as in the depths of this
mighty gorge. Here nature fash
ioned and planned that man might
become the beneficiary. In places
the canyons walls arise to mighty
heights above the river bed, while
the distance from wall to wall, i'll
places, is not over three or four hun
dred feet. A steel dam will have to
be put in to hold in check the great
masses of rock that will have to be
shot down to fill up the gorge sew
eral hundred feet in height, for the
purpose of causing an artificial fall
At the base of this fall, generators
will be put in and electrical power
sufficient to operate every piece OF
machinery in Arizona will be devel-
oped. The great power OF Niagara
Falls will not be in it with the arti-
fetal falls that can be placed in the
canyon. What boom it would be
to the industrial interests of Arizona.
1t would be the means of putting wa
ter on the arid uplands and cause
the development of mineral sections
that could not otherwise be operated.
In this great chasm Edisoa can find
the crowning work of his life
Southern Lincoln County will
benefit by these means to, for some
such device as the above must be
used before the almost numberless
gulches and ravines on this side Of
the river in our own county can be
made to proftably yield their gold
and other minerals.
Operations thereabouts in the past
few years have failed financially
not because gold was present il
smaller quantities than at Other
points of the mining section, but be
cause lack of water and transporta
ton facilities for general supplies
renders everything almost exorbi
family expensive.

Howitzers are steel breech loading
weapon weighing twenty five hun
dredweight and having length of
six feet ten inches. In loading a
howitzer the gun is hung horizontal
~ on the carriage, but for the firing
position the muzzle is pointed high
in the air, thus giving to the shell a
long curved course. -Four kinds of
projectiles can be used in a howitz-
er. The lyddite shell measures 27-
1926 inches and weighs one hundred
and twenty-six pounds nine ounces.
The shrapnel, which contains over
five hundred mixed metal balls,
weigh slightly above one hundred
pounds, and measures in length a
little more than ninteen inches. For
the firing cartridge two pounds one
ounce cordite are used.

SUSPEND

With this issue, the Record, for a
time at least, will suspend publica.
ton. While the newspaper field
hereabouts is more contracted than
in former years, yet it is not uu-
worthy of cultivation, and the pres
ent suspension is due more to the
fact chat outside business interests
maze it impossible for the present
proprietor to continue the publica-
ton Of the paper,t IAN for al y other
reason.
For nearly thirty years the Record
has been before the people of the
county, following and sharing its
varying fortunes and many old
timers regret to see the publication
discontinue.
The paper first appeared on Sept.
17th 1870 as a weekly. Phoebe was
rapidly building up at the time and
some six week later it changed to
two issues a week. This continued
until April 1872 when the paper was
issued as a tri-weekly, and in Sept.
1872, the business of the town hav-
ing increased rapidly, it appeared as
daily, publishing full press dispatc-
hes and easily ranking as the fore
most paper in the county.
These are what old timers are wont to
recall "the palmy days" when money
flowed free as water almost and when
the wild life led reminded one of the
earliest days of California.
In 1876 the down grade began and
since that time the paper, by success
sive steps became tri-weekly semi
weekly and for many years now has
appeared as weekly
While the outlook for the county
at large never was better, the i'm
mediate prospects for Phoebe are not
brilliant, though operations may again
be on here before the present year is
over.
When the rails are laid on the
grade now existing north of town
and cheap method of transporta-
ton for ore and supplies is furnish
ed, there is no doubt but that the
town will take on a new lease of life
and the so-called base ores, which
heretofore it has been impossible to
handle at profit, will be drawn
upon to supply local smelters, as
we'll as for shipment to Others points
While discontining the paper the
Record Office will yet be operated
for the purposes of job printing, and
is ready and able to turn out first
class work in this line.

Sing Lee was an enterprising ysung
Chinaman who conducted laundry in
a small mining camp in Colorado some
