RELIGION IN TIE SCHOOLS
New Phase of the Question Comes
Forward at New York, Over
Christmas

New York, Dec. 24.-Having failed
to persuade the board of education to
stop the celebration of Christmas in
the public schools, rabbis and other
Hebrews have decided to call a strike
Of school children Of their race. If the
plans are successful this morning will

of a large percentage of their usual at
tendance.
Twenty-Five Jews, representing both
the reformed and the orthodox syna-

elementary schools on Dec. II and pre-
scented their side of the question. When
the board of education met later and
took no action the Hebrews decided to

FROM DOWN
THE STATE
Telegraph News by Direct
Wire from All Over
Indiana

Newcastle, Ind, Dec. PA story
with a moral for women has developed
here. The story deals with absent
mindedness or scarelessness, and the
lesson drawn from it is that people
vino possess valuable clothes and wish
to keep them should not throw them
on the bargain table at a rummage
sale. Fair members Of the Christian
church held a rummage sale in the
basement Of the church, and it was
we'll patronized by persons Of a saving
disposition, sometimes called bar
gnin hunters" All articles were
marked down below cost"
She Found Real Bargain"
One woman who recently bought
cloak from q regular storekeeper for
$50 attended the rummage sale, and,
being warm, she took off the cloak and
thoughtlessly laid 1t on a counter that
was covered with articles for sale. An
other woman, a bargain hunter" en-
tered the room and, seeing the nice
new cloak on the counter, said to her
self: Here's my opportunity to get
Il real bargain" She wished to buy
a cloak for a friend, but did not care
to pay a high price. The ''saleslady,"
new to the business, and not having
examined the stock, sold the cloak for
70 cents, and the purchaser took her
bargain" away.
Then There Was Mysteries.
Half an hour later, when the care
less woman who laid the cloak among
the bargains" was ready to go home,
she found 1t had disappeared. Then
there was dismay and excitement IN
the church. Some of the amateur
''salesladies" went skirmishing In
hurry, but it required an hours time
to find the bargain" purchaser, make
the necessary explanation and return
the cloak to the hystertcal owner.

Printers Quit Methodist Church.

Cincinnati. Dec. PA number of
Cincinnati members of the local tygo-
graphical union, who have been com
municants of the Methodist church for
years have withdrawn from that
church. The reason is alleged hostility
shown to union labor by the Metho-

said a labor leader. We have waited

AMERICAN Roy GROUP.

TONOPAH, Aug. 22.-It has been de-
cided TO start development on the
American Boy group of mines. located
in the Clifford district, at once. Word
has reached DR.. Arthur H. Elftman
that a deal has been put through at
Los Angeles whereby the work can be
started without delay. DR.. Elftman
is heavily interested In the Clifford
Mining Company of that district, ad-
joining which the American Boy group
lies DR.. Elftman says that the group
has a splendid outlook, as several
strong lodges carrying good values crop
on the ground. "A company of Salt
Lake and Tonopah people Is in pro-
cess of Incorporation to operate the
American Boy, and it is intended to
sink a 100-foot shaft without delay to
prospect the ore bodies.
DR.. Elftman has received word from
Clifford that rich strike has been
made, but as he is not certain of the
extent of the find or of its character
he will give out no information in
that respect. He is planning a trip to
the camp In the near future, and it
is thought that when he returns he
will have some interesting reports to
make public.

News of the Nevada
Mining Camps.

the announcement that the Tonopah
Exploration Company intends to install
custom mill without loss of time.
Leasers having large piles of milling
ore that has heretofore been of no
value to them, as 1T would not pay to
ship, are now preparing to contract
with the mill people for the treat
ment of their rock.
The Manhattan Thanksgiving people
report the discovery of a lime and
porphyry contact running through
their ground, into which the lodges are
dipping. Work on the incline shafts
that were being operated In search OF
the main ore body has been aban-
doned and a working shaft is being
put down on the contact. Generai
Manager Minard states that when a
little depth has been reached he In
tends TO cross-cut and pick up his ore
body again. A pile of sacked ore Is
heaped on the dump, ready for ship
ment This will be held until the mill
of the Exploration Company is ready
for work and will then be treated
there.
On the Broncho property the new
shaft that was started a short time ago
has uncovered the continuation OF the
lime contact found on the Thanks
giving Sinking will be continued for
some distance and cross-cuts run TO
locate the ledges that 1t appears 1oI-
low the contact It is thought now
that the contact in question runs
through the section for considerable
distance, and If the Broncho and
Thanks giving are successful it will be
an important lead for the other prop
critics In line.
Work on the Manhattan Combination
property is progressing rapidlys The
leads are being followed up in five
different places and the prospects are
very encouraging to the company.

"HONOPAH. Aug. 22.-The McKane
mine, as the old Pittsburg of this
camp is now known, is down
100 feet in the shaft and has
penetrated the Gaping and reached the
lode porphyry. From that level cross
cuts are being run north and south. and
it is thought that the continuation of
the big ledge will be caught in the
south workings. The McKane is To-
Gated on the slope below the Tonopah
Extension and is directly in line with
the ledge. At the time work was
started it was thought that the cap
ring would be penetrated at a little
depth, but the company was compelled
to go down over 1000 feet before the
porphyry was reached. Since the shaft
was well started 1t has developed that
the ledge dips to the south at an angle
of 45 degrees, and this will make IT
necessary to go an equal distance in
the south crosscut before the ledge is
tapped.
The Red Rock people are working
through the McKane shaft, pushing in
the north crosscut. BY the advice of
Manager Kerchen of the Extension,
work on the Red Rock shaft was aban-
dored after the Gaping had been pene-
trated. A vein was found, but the cap
ping did not allow sufficient backs for
work. The McKane is considerably
deeper and IL is the intention Of the
company to cut the vein on the Red
Rock from that shaft, both companies
shsring the expense of hoisting and
shaft work
Reports have reached here from Lone
Mountain stating that the heavy thun-
derstorm which ragged throughout this
district on Saturday resulted in 9
cloudburst that washed out the road
four miles below the Nevada Alpine
mine at that place. Four miles OF the
road is gone and the company has put
big force at work repairing the dam
age. superintendent Service OF the
Alpine had q narrow escape from death
in the flood, as he was crossing the fiat
where the water rushed down from the
hills on a horse, and barely reached
high ground in time, his animal wadine
UP to its knees in water for the last
few hundred yards. The road will be
repaired in few days.
A company known as the Goldyke
Mining Company has been incorporated
to work six claims adjoining the
Goldyke Reef Company's ground or
the north. The Goldyke Reef is located
in the Fairplay district, thirty five
miles from Nina, at the town OF
surface showing similar in character
to that found in the big mine, and it IL
hoped that the extension of the ledge
will be caught at a little depth. Tht
ore is all of a free milling character
and the officers are confident that they
will develop a mine. Work is to be
started at once.
At the local office of the Ladd Noun
tain Mining Company 1t is stated thai
work on the companys ground will be
started at once The property is To-
Gated on Ladd Mountain. in the Bull
frog district, and little work has beer
done as yet. The company intends tc
engage in the active development OF
the property, and force of men viii
be set to work at once.
