tellers were kept busy aud nc advantage

purchasers, but that they had full

grades. A very gratifying interest is
shown in every department.
The teachers held a meeting last Fri
day after school closed. and after hav-
ing considered matters relating direct
ly to the management of the schools,
needed changes, etc.. the following
pedagogical principles were presented
for round-table discussion:
Don't attempt too much in one recita.

all the questions.
Don't repeat a question for an mat

have been completed. The foundations
are ready for the large compressor and
hosting engines. the machine shop is
ia operation, and the bunkhouse and
the superintendent's residence will be

The United States Company is
spending a vast sum upon their Eureka
possessions, as is clearly shown by the
number of additions that have been
made this Summer. The exact ex-
penditures are not stated, but it is safe
to conclude they are great and in
proportion to what the company is
certain in accomplishing in this old but
~rejuvinated district. BY the first Of
the coming year there will be few more
busy camps in the State of Nevada than
Eureka.
Mr.. Allen states that the LOGAN shaft
building is about completed, and the
boilers are installed ready for use.
The management has started to open
up the Locan shaft, aud the old pumps
in this working have been taken out.
In the early days of the camp the
LOGAN shaft was driven to its present
depths before water compelled an
abandonment of this portion of the
property. The United States Company
will make this shaft practically new
again. and. as soon as the water has
been drawn from the working, the
company will sink it to still greater
depths.

barber shop in Eureka made things
lively on that part Of Main street last
Wednesday evening. The lamp was
out of order, and in lighting it after
generating the gas the whole affair
took fire. A leak in the reservoir hold
ing a quart Of gasoline made a right
lively blaze, and in attempting to
smother the flames several coats and

The attempt to smother the flames in
the shop was soon abandoned and the
blazing lamp was finally carried into
the street. where it burned some time
before the flames were smothered. No
other damage was done in the shop.

covering Matson's examination before
Justice Jewell at Palisade and his COM

badly defective. District Attorney
Lew Rogers stated to the Court that he
was not present at the examination in

over the committing papers sent from
Palisade he had thought they were
sufficient to hold the prisoner to appear

lease him on his own recognizance to
appear before the next Grand Jury.

quarrel the former stabbed the latter
three times with a three-inch pocket
knife blade. Nelson was taken to the

would prove fatal, but later reports are
