Crowds of Students and Cadets
in Lexington

Crowds of Students and Cadets
in Lexington
The opening of Washington and
Lee University last Thursday
morning was marked by the pre-
sence of an unusually large crowd
OF students, the number present
at the chapel exercises being esti-
mated at about 800, with possibly
% more in town who we're not
present that morning at the open.
ing exercises, which began at $3.50
O'Clock. The devotional exercises
were conducted by Rev. DR.. Robert
j. McBryde of Fredericksburg, for
many years until recently the
rector of r. Z. Lee Memorial
Episcopal church of Lexington.
Music was furnished by members
of the Presbyterian choir.
The chapel was filled with
students and spectators, many OF
the latter being from town,
although not few were present
from other places on account of
bringing their sons here to enter
the University. On the platform
were seated President Denny and
members of the faculty, many of
whom had but recently returned 10
Lexington from their vacations.
President Denny made a brief
address Of welcome to the young
men, and pledged them the CO. opera
ton of the faculty in oil that
pertains to the betterment OF college
life. He assured the freshmen
that the old men would take
pleasure IN assisting them in any
and all of their undertakings.
At noon today the number pre-
sent has reached SOL, and before
many more days will probably go
as high as 425. If so, that will
be the lars est attendance in the
history of the Institution, even ex-
ceeding the enrolment during the
presidency of General R. E:Lee.
The young men are adapting
themselves to the conditions found
here. Mcny Of them board in the
private homes CT Lexington, and
in this way they become closely
identified with the best social con-
ditions of the community.

sent indications the enrolment will
be the largest in the history of the

more applicants from outside OF

modated. Patrons from the coun-
ty each year send their children to

reasons: because the schools are
we'll graded, and the terms are
longer than the county schools.
The enrolment yesterday was
Ola in the grammar schools and &c
in the high school, giving total
of 274 La ct year the enrolment was
254 the first day, 1917 in the grammar
schools and 81 in the high school.

grades will be full. In fact,
children outside the town are held
off until the principal is assured
that no town children will be ex-
cluded from the school because u

rooms is not permitted.
With one exception, Miss Dun.
lap succeeding Miss Maggie
Shanks, the teachers are the sams
as last year. The teachers in the
high school are Mr.. Harrington

troubles,
To blame the child for its own dis

RICH rrND IN ROUND
MOUNTAIN Red TOP

Guerney Gordon, one Of Goldheld's
pioneers. has arrived from the Round
Mountain section. He reports the find
ing OF a rich 6-inch stringer on the
Round Mountain Red Top company's
property. of which he is president. The
strike was made at a depth of is feet
in a shaft and assays at the rate of 81
per pound. The ledge averages three
feet in width. and, excepting the rich
streak. runs $40 to the ton 1t pitches
at an angle of 80 degrees and trends
southwesterly and no~rtheasterly.
He states the management has sunk
several other shafts and has lone con-
siderable trenching. 1t intends con-
tinuing the shaft where the strike was
made to a depth of 200 feet before cross
cutting. The ore appears to De a white

Round Mountain will In time become a
huge milling amp.
While in Manhattan he investigated
the workings of the Manhattan Con-
solidated Extension Mining company of
which he is also president. A drift is
being run on the 140-foot level. 1t is in
so feet through ore of a milling grade
with neither wall as yet in sight. When
ore of a higher grade is encountered a

on the surface. and 1T Is stated hat the

tered In the original discovery is being
ound. A tunnel has been started on
the north side OF the mountain. and this
is expected to reach the vein in about
400 feet. giving a depth of over 500 feet.
The Las Vegas & Tonopah railroad
has reached camp. and RhyoIite now
has railway Communication with the
outside world. A number of excursion
lists came in from Los Angeles and Salt
Lake, but no formal demonstration was
made owing to the fact that II has been
decided to postpone Railroad Day until
the two other roads,, the Goldheld-Bull
frog and the Borax Smith. reach camp.
and at this time have a big celebration.
The date will probably be some time In
April. On this occasion II is now the
purpose to pull of a prize fight between
Jack o'Brien and Tommy Burns. for a
purse of $4,000. fight to be to a finish.
O'Brien has already accepted the terms.
and has signed articles to this effect.
The mill will be under the auspices of
the Rhyolite Athletic association. The
association has already raised $40. 900.
and at this time Ii looks like there will
be no hitch in the program.
1t is understood that the Gibraltar
Mining company is planning the erec-
ton of a big reduction plant. Nothing
vary da6nita cap ha ,aarnad hare In -
gard to the matter beyond the fact that
a process has been devised and plans
are now being prepared. Superintendent
J. p. Nelson is noncommittal in the
matter but states that the company has
sufficient ore blocked out to warrant
such an enterprise. He says that ex-
cepting a very few feet, that practically
all the workings of the mine is in ore.
The average is of excellent mill grade,
and there are lenses which make re-
turns as high as $4,000. A shipment of
this high grade material was made a
few days ago.. and while settlements
have not yet been received, the material
is expected to cut into the fancy figures.
Rhyolite Is experiencing an unprece-
denied building boom. Nothing like 1t
has ever occurred in the history of the
camp. New stores. Office buildings and
residences are going up on every street.
Among the new buildings are a $780,
900 hotel. a $4,000 Office building. new
rooming houses. other Office buildings of
lesser Importance, and various other
building enterprises. C~onservatively
estimating the matter, at least $780, 900
is being invested in new structures. The
Tonopah & Las Vegas railroad will start
work in a short time. on a new concrete
station. done in Old Mission. and similar
to the station at Las Vegas. The town
is booming as never before.

SUNNYSIDE MILL
NEARLY COMPETE

The rev mill at the s~unnyside mine
Of the Round Mountain Mining com
pany's property. is nearly ready to be-
gin dropping its stamps on that high
grade. free milling ore. which has made
Round Mountain famous as the bonanza
gold camp of New Nevada
Under the able supervision Of Mr..
Frank Gruss the new mill has been built
and machinery set in place with a
promptness that was entirely pleasing.
Trenching has been completed to the
source Of the water supply and as o o
as the piping arrives 1t will be laid and
the new mill will begin its work of
boosting the camp-and incidentally of
extracting magnificent values from
those big ore dumps on the company's
property.
The mill Is a cotton Nissen stamp OF
the latest and most approved pattern
There will be very little waste water as
Superintendent Gruss has had con-
structed below the mill a stone dam
which will retain the water long enough
to allow the sand to settle, when tbs
water will overflow to a large reservoir
from where 1t will be pumped back into
a supply tank for the mill.
1t the ~Sunnyside min h work OF
sinking to the s~00-foot level or the main
shaft is being pushed. and prosecuting
and drifting continues. Large bodies
of ore are being blocked out and there
is no chance that the mill will not be
supplied with plenty of work from this
start.
Mr.. Gruss has has an extensive ex-
perience in the operation of mills and
concentrating plants. he is an ole

number of years in the Australian gold
fields where he successfully operated
