EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
CONDUCTED BY
ISS RUTH BENIN EFT. COUNTY SUI

Owing to the bad weather a great
many were unable to attend the
meeting Saturday and hear Prof.
Payne's lecture on The Three Great
Problems of Education, What is to
be taught, How 1t is to be taught
and Who is to teach it.
Speaking of the teacher he said
his qualifications are of two kinds,
inherited and acquired. Among the
inherited qualifications he named a
sound body, a sunny disposition,
strong belief in the Christian relig-
ion, a natural apility for imparting
knowledge, strong sympathles. an
abiding faith in his own government,
and in humanity in general. Among
the acquired qualifications he named
these, good habits, decision of char
acter, and democratic ideas and no
aristocratic tendencies. Those who
heard the lecture were very enthu-
siastic in praise of it.
Miss Agnes Wehrle closed her
school Saturday with an interesting
program and dinner, the patrons
coming in and bringing their dinner.
1t is encouraging to know that the
patrons of school appreciate the
good work done by pupils and teach
er.
Remember the dates for the ex-
animation for graduation from the
common schools April FL and 2S.
At the meeting Saturday Mrs.
Backe's little pupils were present. y d
gave a class recitation which was
much enjoyed.
Little Lucille Twist recited for US.
She recites in most charming man
ner.
Miss Ethel Black read a paper
which was splendid, filled as it was
with good practical truths and sug
gestions, which if put into practice
would indeed prove boon to our
schools over the county.

PORTER HAS MUCH
FAITH in NEVADA

c. D Porter, who is extensively in
terested in Tonopah, Goldfeld, Man
haitian and some of the other mining
camps which have lately come into
existence has every faith in Nevada.
In conversation with a press reporter
recently, Mr.. Porter said with refer
ence to the Bullfrog district that he
believes it will eventually be the loca-
ton of immensely large mills. The ores
there he states, heing of a character
which will permit of economic treat
ment. The district will soon have rail-
road facilities; it already has electric
power, the source of energy being in
Amsrgosa Valley where there is an in
exhaustible water supply.
1t is the judgment of Mr.. Porter that
Manhattan will be another great milling
camp. at will be a h~igh-grade mill
ing camp" he continued, "for there
we find lots of ore, not quite good
enough to stand the cost of shipment
from a camp so remote from the smell
ters, but which would be classed as
high-grade ores in Utah. Manhattan
is a district which will produce mil
lions of dollars in gold, and | do not
know of any other crmp where PAN
nings of free gold can be obtaind from
over such a large area al is the case in
Manhattan"
Mr.. Porter is one of the principal
owners of the Pine Nut mine, adjoining
the Manhattan Con-, which is being

LOST in
DEATH VALLEY

A couple Of ~prospectors, names IN
known, are thought to have persisted in
Death Valley, not far from Emigrant
Springs. They were prospecting for
John McKane and were last seer Sum
day morning, the 9th inst. j, H. Maher,
who came in from Emigrant said in an
interview with a representative of the
Bullfrog Miner that when he left a
searching party had been organized to
seek the missing men. He thinks the
name Of one of the men was Nelson,
but he never heard the name of the
other. They came in with an outfit
and pitched their camps at Cave springs,
about a mile from Emigrant. They
started out Sunday morning with only
one canteen of water to go to a pros
pect a short distance away. Joy Pol
lard of Rhyolite, who was at Emigrant
organizing a miners union, saw the
men leave camp. Mr.. Maher, who left
there Wednesday, says that up to that
time the ~prospectors had not returned
to their camp.
1t is thought that they lost their bear
ings and were overcome by the heat.
With the small amount Of water they
had they could not survive for any length
of time in the fierce t~emerature, and
the possibility of their finding water is
exceedingly remote.

Ho! for Manhattan!!!

The Pioneer stage line, owned by
Summerfield g. johnson, is doing a rush.
ing business these days, in fact it is
doing all the business as far as taking
people to the new mining camp is con-
cerned. The stages leave the Pioneer
stables, near the depot, every morning
and it is certainly a pleasure to ride in
them. Experienced, careful drivers
handle the ribbons and make splendid
time over fair roads. Make your re
servations ahead. The phone is 514.

equipped with a powerful new hosting
plant. A lode from rs to 80 feet in
width has been followed for a distance
Of 200 feet, and the ore is of a splendid
milling grade. The company has close
to $50, 900 in its treasury and in due
time will provide milling equipment; but
the present all energy will be bent
towards the further development of the
mine.
Mr.. Porter, like a good many others,
is f~avorably impressed with the east
end of the Manhattan district, where
some immense lodges crop to the sur
face, and if indications count for any
thing, will be the location of some big
producers.

WILL REOPEN McKlNl NINE.
Steel Corporation Prepare to Strfos
Property at Once.


The village of Mckinley, which
has withstood some pretty tough
set-backs, again bids fair to come
to life and come with a bound that
IS going to place the burg among
the more prosperous of range com.
munities.
The proving of the big find of the
Iesora Mining company short
distance northeast of the town. and
the certain opening of big mine
at that point, raised the confidence
OF all in the future of the town: but
this feeling has been augmented
during the past week by news OF
the intention of the steel corpora
ton to reopen the Mckinley mine
a property embracing eighty acres
adjoining the old Roberts mine and
known to contain a large body ot
ore.
The Mckinley will be stripped
and under the managemento of Capt
Carmichael of the Duluth mine two
steam shovels will be put onto the
work at once. Work will be prose
cuted throughout the winter and
the property and the town will both
be placed in the list of active ones
the coming spring.

The Duluth dailies have been vie

In the meantime Capt. Fay con.
tinues to prove one of the biggest
finds made on the eastern Mesaba
for several years, five drills being
employed on his new find near Nc.
Kinley. Thus far the proven de-
posit exceeds 3,5O0,O0O tons and Mr..
Fay confidently expects thisamonnt
will be raised half million ormore,
There is no question of the value
of Capt. Fay's interest in this find,

that success has crowned his work,

COUNCIL fixes PAVING ASSESSMENT.
Chestnut Street Improvement Costs
$262. 10 per 25.foot Frontaae."

The common council in last
"evening, in accordance with notice
given, met in special session to de.
termine and assess the special tax
levy for the Chestnut street i'm prove
ments, and while none of the prop
erty-owners present batted their
head against stone wall by maxi
ing oath as to the estimated in
creased value accruing to their
holdings through such improve
ments number of interested citi-
zens were present and expressed
their ideas on the matter in force
full manner.
The estimate of the levy as sub
mitted by the city engineer amount
ed to $262.1O for each 25 foot frontage
on the street, this sum including
grading. paving, storm sewer and
curb.
The contention of the property
owners present was that at least
the grading should be paid for out
of the general fund, inasmuch as
all previous street work in the city
had been paid out of this fund. The
idea of assessing the general fund
for the difference between the esti-
mated cost upon which the petition
for paving was signed and the cost
of the work as claimed, was also ad-
vocated by some of the speakers,
but all might as well have chewed
Peerless and spit against the wind;
the schedule was fixed, and despite
the fact that three of the aldermen
out of five in attendance spoke in
favor of deducting the grading ex-
pense from the special assessment
the assessment as submitted was
passed by unanimous vote.
