The New school House.

Tonopah enjoys many advantages.
1t not only has the best mines and the
best people, but it has the best school
house in the State of Nevada. The
building, which was erected during
November and December by Charles
Madison, who secured the contract from
the school trustees, is one of the most
commodious structures of its kind in
the west. 1t contains six rooms and
has seating capacity of 240. Every
seat is occupied at the present time
and there are at least 40 applications
for admission on file. The new build
ing, which is an ornament to the city,
was erected by Mr.. Madison within the
contract time and with virtually no
extras. The contract price was $11, 400,
which leaves comfortable balance in
the school fund. 1t is possible that the
trustees, Messrs. Booth and McQuillan,
will reopen the old school house in the
near future and establish at least one
class there. There are now six teach
ers in the department, including G.
Schoer, Jr., the principal The others
who are teaching the young to shoot
are Louise M. Pohl, Georgia w. Ben
nett. lone Erickson, and Anna E.
Bradley.

the mineral possibilities of this section
at the time. Last week he returned
and has decided to make Tonopah his
home. We welcome him.
A well-known mining man, who was
with Mr.. McQuillan, said eyes, and
want to tell you that | would rather
take the judgment of Mr.. Shockley on
a mining property than that of John
Hays Hammond any day in the week. :"
In speaking of the property Mr..
Shockley says: II have not been in
camp long enough to fully familiarize
myself with the local conditions, but
from study of Mr.. Spurr's report on
the district, and from what have seen
of the mine it seems to me the Tonopah
e. California mine has fair prospect
of finding an ore body.
From the geologic map published in
that report l notice that from the rich
Valley View veins the distance to the
shaft of the Tonopah & California is
little less than 1900 feet, or only
about twice as far as the North Star
shaft from the productive area. There
are several veins in the lower levels of
the mine that give good values. We
are now sinking the shaft which is
down $50 feet. On the 650-foot level a
little stoping has been done on a vein
of quartz and andesite. At depth Of
CTS feet we have cut vein of white
quartz, fifteen inches wide, with spots
of sulphurets. This is probably diff
ferent vein from that cut on the $50
foot level
"a sample taken by our superintend-
ent, Clyde Jackson, from the end OF
the stope on the 650-level gave silver,
$685. .S2 per ton. This was a picked sam
pie.
1t is the intention to continue sinking
the shaft another 100 feet and then
drive on the vein after crosscutting.
We shall also do some prospecting or
the upper levels. | have been study,
ing the question Of doing some exten.
sive diamond drilling from the surface
to prove the ground lying at the foot
of Brock mountain; this ground is prob.
ably underlaid by the earlier andesite
''It will be very interesting to watch
the results of this drilling should We
undertake it.

The capitalization, organization and
makeup. of the company are unques-

guarantee that the affairs of the COM
pany will be conducted in safe, con-
servative manner. The directors of
the company are satisfied that the prop
erty warrants development.
