ability of either the council or the
furnace company doing anything to
remedy the situation and properly
heat the schoolrooms.
The situation has been very unsatis-
factory ever since the new school
building was erected. Last winter
several of the grades frequently had
to be sent home on account of inabili-
ty to heat the rooms, and the same con-
dition prevails again this winter.
The superintendent has had recent
instructions from the board of edu-
cation that whenever the temperature
is as low as sixty in any of the rooms
to send the pupils home. This, the
superintendent says, practically
means that three or four of the grades
will be out of school until cold wealth
er is over.
1t is state of affairs that is not all
creditable to Dawson, especially the
city council and the school board.
There should be some remedy for it.

BANK CHECK WAS A FORGERY
Ernest Notes, a Young White Man,
in Jail on Serious Charge. Paper
Cashed at the 0ispenSarY.

Ernest Notes, young white man
who farmed near Dawson last year,
is in the Terrell county jail on a Sc
rious charge, and the probability is
that he will see lots of trouble before
he is again free man.
Notes forged the name OF Simmons
& Hill, the warehousemen, to a check
on the City National Bank for 5000,
and got it cashed at the Dawson dis
Densary. When Mr.. Mcneil, the
cashier at the dispensary, was asked to
cash the check as matter of accom-
odation he did not like the looks of
it. and expressed himself to that eff
feet. Young Notes, who presented
it stepped out for few minutes and
returned again, saying that Judge
Simmons said that he had written the
check and it was all right. Mr.. Nc
Neil thereupon handed out $4,000 to
the bearer of the spurious piece OF
paper, and thought no more of it I'M
til the check was presented to the
City National Bank for collection
and there turned down as a forgery.
A warrant was issued for Notes,
and he was soon in Jail.

New Play House

Thomas Phillips, stage manager
for Sleeping Beauty and the Beast,
Humpty Dumpty, Mother Goose and
many other prominent spectacular
productions, arrived in Tonopah last
week from New York. Mr.. Phillips
makes this trip for the special pur-
pose of securing a plot on Main
Street and to erect a modern play
house.
The cost of the new theatre, Mr..
Phillips figures, will be between $50
600 and 100000. The construction
will be most modern and every con-
yenience known to playdom will be
employed on the stage. Mr.. Phil
lips is figuring on a stage large
enough to meet the requirements of
the largest productions on the
boards.
The interior Of the play house will
be most artistic and no effort will
be spared to make it the acme OF
comfort. Mr.. Phillips states that
the opportunity for a first class
theatre here is grea. and he ex-
pressed himself as being much sur
prised that the matter had not been
taken up before.
The idea Is to give two produce
tions a week and arrangements will
be made to bring all the leading
plays of the country to Tonopah.
1t may be expected when the new
theatre is compeleted, to see Maxine
Elliott, Blanche Bates. Grace George,
Mrs. LeMoyne, Wilton Lackeye and
many other stars in Tonopah.
Mr.. Phillips has long been asso-
eiated with theatrical ventures.
For five years she was stage man
ager Of the famous Frawley Com
pany in San Francisco. This is the
Company for which Eugene Schmitz.
the present mayor of San Francisco
for a long time, was musical di-
rector.
Ihere is no reason whatever why
the enterprise should not succeed.
In the early days Of the Comstock all
the leading productions appeared in
Virginia City and why should not
the leading companies Of today
play in Tonopah?
This announcement will no doubt
be hailed with much pleasure and
the people of Tonopah viii not be
lacking in their support to Mr.. Phil
lips in his undertaking.

Midnight

Sometime Saturday night or early
Sunday morning thieves broke into
the Metropolitan Meat Market on
Main Street, and secured the entire
contents Of the cash register.
As Saturday is a heavy market
day and the proceeds of the days
sales were in the till, the robbers
made a good haul.
G. NJ. Squiers, the proprietor,
went to his shop Sunday morning
and discovered the theft.
Access was gained by breaking
in the e a door.
The police department knew moth
ing about the matter until it was re-
ported by Mr.. Squiers. The only
clew they have to work on is a
railroad spike and a pick left be-
hind by the intruders.

some time, and the latest to come
into the fold is Taylor and Griffith,
of Rhyolite. This firm has just pur-
chased the Red Chief and Grey
Rooster mines, and will Immediately
form a company to develop the prop
erty. These properties are located
near the Johnnie Consolidated Mine
and have a remarkable good show
ing. The ore does not run into bo-
nanza values, SO far as development
has shown, but the ground has good
big strong lodges that will leave a
good profit after milling.
The Sunshine Mines have been
sold by Robert Atkinson, of Los
Angeles, to a Philadelphia syndicate;
at the head of which, is G. f. SEES
singer and r. J. Purcell. This group
lies about three miles to the south

discovered copper belt. Near them
is the well known copper properties
of Robert H. Browne, in which Den.

selves.

the district with A. Hernstadt, OF
New York, and they are looking for
some good things in the mining way
AS yet no deal has been eonsumated
by these gentlemen, but they are
now contracting for options or
several of the properties here.
