sparsely settled district.
The cavern bids fair to become one
wonders OF the West and rival OF
the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky. Ex-
oloring parties have been able to pene
rate to a distance of over 1000 feet,
progress at this point being stopped
by an abyss so deep that stones thrown

THESIS DAY EXERCISES
Miss Pauline Wuertele and
Blanche B0nni.ield HOnOred

There was an unusual large attend
ance at the High School building yes
terday afternoon. In fact the crowd
was so great that extra chairs were
brought in to accommodate the parents
and frier DIS of the scholars.
The scholars. especially the girls pre-
sented a lovely appearance in their
summer costumes.
The address of Mss Smith, the prin-
cipal was undoubtedly the best ever
heard in w.nnemucca. and was list
ened to with the closest attention by
all present.
Everyone that took part in the pro-
gram did themselves credit. After the
exercises the Eight grade was called
70 wa. and were each presented with
certificates, Miss Pauline Wuertle. re-
ce wing fiji class. having the highest
general average of 81. and Blanche
Bonnifeld, second. Certificates of pro-
notion were then presented TO the
Ninth and Tenth grades. The class
honors i'm Ninth, Tenth ard Eleventh
grades will be given tonight, as the
scholarship cup will depend Upon a
number of these grades.
The young ladies showed the hard
wo.k and careful training that had
been put into the past year. and each
handled her subject in her own way,
showing marked individuality as well
as studied training.

in which she handled the subject. 1.-THE
Half Is Greater Than the Whole" Her
comparisons were well drawn. her de-
&C iptions vivid and she certainly per-
suaded her audience to coincide with her
in her views of the perfectness of per-
fcction.
Miss Staunton, with her light face
and winsome manner, had won her
hearers even before she began her reas-
oning of that old subject. THE Pen Is
Mightier Than the Sword" The parallel
she drew between Napoleon, the
soldier. ard Raphael. the wo Ids great
est artist. proved most truly the sub
ject discussed.
The four young ladies' mentioned
comprise the graduating class of VA
and the class is one of the brightes;
ever graduated. and each member is
much beloved by all teachers and has
also now the love. respect and adj
miration of all pupils with whom they
have come in contact.
The tie between the class and their
principal, Miss Smith. has been excep-
tionaiiy close. and the fact that the.i
associations with her must be severed
Is the only alloy in tteir season of
gladness.
The exercises were closed by fare.
