School Troubles at Eureka.

Principal Gwartney of the Eureka
schools has been forced to give up his
position by the action of the State
Board of Education, which has refused
his application for an Educational
Diploma, holding that his credentials
are not sufficient. The difficulty seems
to be entirely technical, as Mr.. Gwart-
ney claims to have attended a Normal
school for three years and to be grad
uate from Stanford University, besides
having had several years of practical
experience as teacher. Feeling in the
matter runs high in Eureka and Dist.

concerning his conclusions, there is
good reason TO believe that he will re-
commend site near the mine. That a
mill will be built this season there is no
doubt, though work may not begin for
several weeks to come.

Hancock aud his wife arrived In
Phoebe alone, and for over year the
disappearance of Engelke and Edmund
son was one of absolute mystery, no
trace of the missing men having been
found on the desert.
In the meantime Hancock and his
wife separated and she had met and
fallen in love with man named Cross.

and threatened her life.
Anxious to get rid of him she went to
the authorities and confessed that her
husband had murdered the two mon.

Why Easter is so Irregular.

The apostolic age had scarcely passed
before discussions occurred and dissen-
sons ensued as to the time of celebrat-
ing Easter. 1t was early held by the
great majority of Christian churches
that much Importance should be at
tached to Che day of Christ's resurrec-
tion, and it is easy to understand how
the violent controversies were brought
about when the differences of opinion
grew in reference to the time of year
when the feast should be observed.
The question was brought before the
Council of Nice, which finally settled it
for the whole church, by adopting the
rule which makes Easter day to be al
ways the first Sunday after the full
moon which happens upon or next af-
ter March 2lst, and If the full moon
happens on Sunday, yesterday is the
Sunday after; so that, by this arrange
ment, Easter may come as early as
March %, or as late as April %. This
year it comes on April 10Th.

NJ Geneski, who was seriously hurt
in the Star mine last week, is doing as
well as can be expected.
Tho force at work on tho Egan mine
is being increased as fast as room can
be made for miners to work.
Several parties are fitting out every
day to prospect in the new gold fields
at South Cherry
Charles Ascher, brother of Dr. Asch-
er, arrived in town this week from
northern California, where he has been
engaged in mining for the past year.
Mrs. Joseph Callaghan and brother
John Reilly. left for San Francisco on
the 22nd, to visit with friends and rel
atives for several months.
John Wearne still tarries in Salt Lake
City, but we look for him back home in
the near future with a company to open
up some of his properties here, which
are second TO none in the mining coun-
try.
Thos. Bews and bride, direct from
the old country, arc scheduled to ar
rive here on Wednesday the 28th, when
several of his old friends will be glad to
welcome himself and bride to the land
of the sage brush.
The Olympia Mining Co., at South
Cherry has let contract to sink the
main shaft 100 feet deeper. The show
ing in this mine is sure to make the
owners bonanza kings in the near fu-
ture.
J. B. Williamson returned from his
vacation on the 10Th, hale and hardy.
We had looked for John to bring life
partner back with him this time but
we were disappointed. May be so next
time.
Several of our miners are opening up
some very rich gold mines at South
Cherry. We're these mines located in
Alaska or some other country where it
would be worth mans life to go to
them there would be big rush to get
there first. Mining men who are look
ing for gold mines would do well to in
vestigate the opportunities offered in
this locality. Assays from some late
discoveries go up in the hundreds in
gold.
The Glasgow & Western Exploration
Co.'S mines and mill are running in full
blast, turning out the yellow and white
metal for its stock holders in the land
of thistles. We are glad to see these
people reap a rich harvest as they de-
serve it for they have had the nerve to
reopen some abandoned mines and
make them dividend paying properties.
There are several such mines lying idle
in this district and all that is needed to
make them dividend payers is the nee
essary capital to open them up.
