EUREKA SCHOOL NOTES
Hearty Encouragement Shown
Entertainment Augurs Well
For New Piano

Examination week. The majority
have improved their last months rec.
ord. but not all have done satisfactory
work. The parents of the delinquents
will receive letters from the Principal
this month stating the cause of failure
from the standpoint Of the teachers.
aud asking the hearty cooperation of
home and school in an endeavor to
remedy the defects next month.
Hardness and irregularity of atten.
dance will not be tolerated in a business
house of any kind. Both are equally
unwarrani ed in attendance at school.
A child who is permitted to acquire
these habits is doomed to occupy a very
low position in life. yet there are a
few parents among very good people
who are careless along these lines.
The hearty spirit of h~elpfuluess
shown by pupils and patrons in making
the basket social a success is very CON-
mendable. and is fully appreciated by
the teachers. Such encouragement is
one Of the most potent means Of making
a school better.
A question as to whether or not the
ladies' should put their anne in the
baskets to be sold Saturday night, and
eat supper with the purchaser. was
practically settled by a unanimous vote
of the High School girls favoring this
plan. This is a universal custom to
which no real objection can be raised,
and it certainly adds a great deal to the
interest in the sale of the baskets.
Do you encourage your children by
asking them questions in current events
in the home? If not. try it. Nothing
will add more interest to school work
than the manifestation Of a keen line
interest at home. II you desire to re-
tain the confidence of your sons and
daughters let them know that you APP
preciate their efforts.
Our reading table is now fully equip
ped. aud is highly satisfactory to all
concerned. In this connection WI wish
to express our appreciation of the spirit
shown by the editor Of the "Pioche
Record" This paper comes to us reg
ularly and is among the most popular
weeklies on our table.
Don't forget the basket social next
Saturday night, and don't forget that
every dollar of the proceeds will go to-
ward making the school better.
The program for the meeting of the
Literary Society on Saturday evening,
Nov. 8. will appear next week.

S2,OOO,0 900 in Gold a Month

The returns made by the leasars to
the Mohawk Mining Company at Gold
field. Nevada, show that there has been
extracted from that wonderful claim
from October 1st to the 18th, inclusive,
ore valued at $670. 900. Taking into
consideration the increase that will take
place in production for the remaining
two weeks of the month, resulting from
extension of work and the installation
of new machinery, the total production
for October will. it is believed. reach
So. coo. 900: Cripple Creek, in it's best
year, produced short of $40. 000. 900
within a single 10 months, and if the
present rate of production is kept up by
the Mohawk. Goldfield can boast of a
single claim that has broken the record
of the great Colorado camp.

800 TONS AWAITING SHIPMENT
Prospects Of Better Transportation
Facilities for Mine Owners

Charley Minoletti was over from
Hamilton GU Thursday. He states that
the mining interests In that section are
feeling very much encouraged over the
prospects of soon having better ans
portation facilities. The several sur
veying parties that have been working
between Tonopah aud Ely for the
newly proposed railroad are reported to
have recently been running lines just
south of Hamilton, and IL Is generally
conceded that if the new road is built
an effort will be made to tap the rich
lead mines of Hamilton.
Mr.. Minoletti states that at the pres
emit time there are between 800 aud 1000
tons Of ore on the dumps of the several
mines near Hamilton awaiting ship
ment. but there is q scarcity of teams
aud 1t is Thought there is little probable
ity Of getting any quantity Of this ore
to the railroad at Eureka before the
Winter storms set in.

SELLS NINE FOR 100000
Skaggs Brothers Sell Bald Mountain
Mining Property

]. II. Schenck. representative Of
Nixon & Wingfield in the Bald Noun.
tain country. arrived in town Wednes-
day. He is very confident that Bald
Mountain will make a wonderful camp.
and says that already there are some
fiue showings in several properties there.
The Sandstone mine, owned by Messrs.
Nixon & Wingield and himself, has
developed into a fine free-milling gold
proposition. This property has Teen
trenched for a distance OF over 300 feet
and makes q fiue surface showing.
Preparations are now being made to
sink a shaft on this property to a depth
of about 500 feet and to prosecute active
development work.
From Mr.. Schenck it Is learned that
the deal for the Skaggs Bros. copper
mines at Bald Mountain has been
closed. and that $50. 900 has already
been placed In one of the Exc banks to
make the first payment on November 1.
Boston and New York capital is behind
this deal. and $500. 900 is the price to be
paid for the mines.
This copper property just sold by the
Skaggs Bros. was owned about three
years ago by several Eureka parties,
but when they neglected to do their
annual assessment work the Skaggs
Bros. relocated the ground. 1t was just
a good prospect when they relocated
the property. but in doing the assess
ment work they opened mp a fine body
of copper ore, and this is said to have
been steadily increasing in quantity
and richness.

Hector and others of that heroic age
had become so powerful as to arouse
the envy of other recipients Of divine
honors. it was supposed that the beauties
of the Pelopannesus would forever win
the favors Of these majestic jewellers of
the cliffs as thither they wendell their
way to claim that which was their own.
Ages and ages were to pass before
Eureka was to be again visited by these
most sublime actors in the art of enter
tainment.

come forth to again delight mankind
with your w~onderous cleverness. We'll
