HIGH SCHOOL,


East friday the High School
basket ball team went to Rugby.
where they played that team . RS
turn game. { the 4 end of the
game the score 4 was 2 26 to 81 in
favor of Rugby. Although the
score WIS one sided, our boys
| played good bal, and VIC. uld have
made more points had the game
been played On d different floor.
! THE hall id which the game was
played was very small, and was
used for dancing which made it
very hard for the teams to keep
their feet. After the 4 game, our
boys were given q receipt % at Thu
school honse After5 q short pro-
gram had been u given, refresh
ments were served, in which all
partook, and greatly enjoyed them
selves. The remainder of the
evening WAS spent in dancing:
Saturday evening on their way
home.th team played the Leeds
High School team. Our team
was beaten by score of II to- i 1.
hut was done by Unfair means.
Both teams played fast ball and
at the end of the first nalf the score
was 9 to S in favor Of Devils Lake.
In the second half onr boys did
not have any chance 70 make any
points, because the referee would
call a foul on our men whenever
they made 81 basket. Our team
did not play the usual team work
as the ceiling was very low and
on the floor were four large posts,
which were in the way whenever
the ball was thrown any distance.
Next time our team plays this team
we shall have an outside man for
referee, and a regulation bali or
no game will be played. ( N

BILL R0ASTS THE PRESS
BRYAN FINDS FAULT WITH THE
GREAT ENTERPRISES.
Declares That Many of the Metropol.
itan DaiIies Pick the Pockets of
the People.

New York, Oct. 23.-William Jen
nings Bryan incorporated in his ad-
dress at Cooper Union last night what
he had announced would be an elucida-
tion of the charge made by him that
'the large metropolitan dailies are con-
trolled by the trusts and their columns
are open to the highest bidder" which
he made in Richmond, Va, week ago
last Friday.
He told of the classes who were en-
titled to be received in the ranks of
the common people," with whom, he
said, the future of this country rested.
He continues:
Now, | am going to put in another
class, | am going to put in newspaper
men, but not all of them. And L can
ons. In the first place, l cannot find
out who some of them are. 1t is one
of the calamities of our day that so
many, not all, of our great metro
politan papers are run not as news
paper enterprises, not as business en-
terprises, but as adjuncts to exploit
ing enterprises.
'.Another of the calamities of our
day is that so many-not all--of these
great metropolitan papers are owned
by men who hire brilliant editors to
chloroform their readers while they
pick the pockets of their readers

STARTS OFF WELL

GOLDFIELD, New, March 2s.-The
opening day of the Rhyolite stock ex
change was a. hummer, and thousands
of dollers worth of stock changed
hands during the session, despite the
fact that stocks are at present low on
account of the labor troubles in the
district. There were no quotations
from outside stock exchanges, but at
the close of the session it was found
that the stock dealers of Rhyolite had
traded at prices nearly the same as
those on the San Francisco stock ex-
change. The exchange promises to do
much to boost mining in the Bullfrog
district and some lively sessions are
pred cted.

CONTROL OF SITUATION

GOLDFIELD, March %. - Not only
IS Vincent st. John professional
anarchist and agitator, but he is TAX
ing advantage of the suffering of his
poor dupes, the miners of Goldfeld,
who are beginning move for soup
kitchens and a private means of sup
port from the union, by playing the
took market as only one who con-
trolls the situation can do. Taking ad-
vantage of yesterdays slump in the
market, st. John cleared up $4,000.
Should he continue 10 make the same
money it is expected that the end of
the present trouble is indefinite.
As result of the undisputed rule
OF st. John and his clique of profes-
sional agitators many good and re-
spectacle miners are being forced to
sell their homes and make for the
more peaceable lands. Much hard
feeling is displayed by the miners to-
ward st. John, and many of the min
ers express desire that the citizens

OPENING UP PAY
STREAKS
GOOD ORE BEING
ENCOUNTERED IN
SPRING CITY MINES
Ledge of Good Grade Ore Opened mn
IN Spring City Mines Being Oper-
ated by T. L. Oddie

A ledge of very good grade of sill
yer ore has recently been opened up
n the development work now going
en- in the Spring City mines.
The face of a tunnel that is
being driven on one of the properties
taken over by Mr.. Oddie has encoun-
tered ledge of high grade ore. The
ledge first appeared in the hanging
wall and assays were taken at that
time showing the strike to be of more
than ordinary richness. AS the TIM
mel was driven further the ledge open-
ed up wider until, according to the
report of F. M. Buckingham, who is
In Wlnnemucca in connection with the
deal on the copper mines near Willow
Point, it occupies the entire face of
the tunne' This strike is considered
OF great inheritance by those who are
acquainted with the mineral formation
in the bonanza camp of the past. It
is believed the present quality of the
ore will increase as the ledge is open
ed wider and the pay ore which the
purchasers believed could be found
has been located.
This tunnel, which opened the
LEDGE stated w. J. Bell this after
noon. twas started In the boom days
of Spring City and was run by a

with. 1t was the opinion at that time
that the tunnel would open up pay ore,
but it was not driven far enough to
| accomplish that end.o

Of the development work at Spring
City, is now in San Francisco and he
has been notified of the strike.
