STAMPEDE FOR NEW DISCOVERY
Fabulously Rich Gold Strike Is Re-
ported North Of Carlin, Nevada

A Carlin, Nevada. dispatch to the
Salt Lake Tribune says: A rich gold
strike has been made by Joe Lynn, an
old-time prospector. Il Is located Is
miles north Of Carlin in Cottonwood
canyon. Present development shows
that water has uncovered the ledge
which shows coarse gold as large as
kernels Of wheat. Country mineraliza-
ton aud everything indicates q per-
manent camp. CANNOT determine now
whether location is in Elko or Eureka
County, as it is near the county line.
Carlin is Gro sded with people going out.
Everybody ought to prepare themselves
with bedding, as accommodations are
taxed to the utmost extent.
Another Account of New Strike
Elko Independent April 8: We learn
from q. +. Williams that there Is a
good deal of excitement in Carlin over
the new gold discovery. The strike is
on Maggie creek about II miles north
Of Carlin. Rock from the find is lousy
with gold. The news of the strike has
reached the southern mining camps
and last night IL mining men from
Goldfield arrived at Oarlin and went
out to the ground. Among them were
Ole Elliott and Judge Linsey. Over
100 men were on the ground yesterday
and report says there is a stampede from

REDUCED RATES TO ELY
Nevada Northern Preparing to
Meet Requirements of
the New Law

New freight and passenger rates be-
tween Cobre and Ely are in course of
preparation in the offices of the freight
and passenger departments of the Ne
vada Northern railroad, aud it is under
stood that they will be made effective
about April Is. These rates are far
lower on a number of commodities than
those now existing and the passenger
rate has also been materially reduced.
Under the existing tariffs the rate on
lumber of all classes, including mining
timbers rough and finished, lumber,
lath and shingles and other classes Of
lumber, has been 70 cents per 100. or
sl4 per ton. The new rate. it is uD-
officially stated. will be 80 cents per 100.
or SO per ton. a reduction of more than
so per cent on the old rate.
The old ate on brick is Ga cents per
100 pounds. or s12. so per ton. The new
rate is said to be fixed at a figure some
where between % and SO per ton. a re-
reduction of from 80 to rs per cent from
the old rate. At the old rate it has cost
virtually $50 per 1000 to bring the brick
to the market.
This announcement will be the signal
for the ushering in of the greatest era
of development and growth that Ely
has ever known. aud the benefit to the
camp will be almost incalculable.

ACTIVITY At BALD MOUNTAIN
Big Copper Camp Promises to
Be One Of the Most Prom
inent in Nevada

At Bald Mountain. White Pine
County, where active development
work has been prosecuted all Winter.
notwithstanding the inclemency Of the
weather aud the almost impossible
roads. things are taking on an appear
ance Of a thriving. bustling mining
camp and before the Summer is half
over will be one Of the foremost camps
Of the State.
Under the management of G. D. Gal
vim, large bodies of ore are being de-
veloped in the Copper Basin properties
and the future of the camp is assured.
These properties can now be classified
as developed mines. as sufficient
quantities of ore are now in sight to
justify the building of a railroad. Mr..
Galvin's faith in the properties has
been unbounded from the first and the
1000 feet of development work now done
justifes his faith.
There are now at work on these prop
critics about 60 miners, and nine more
were started out from Elko yesterday.
They are being put to work as fast as
they can be secured. Three teams have
been engaged all Winter in hauling
supplies to the camp, and the return
trip is made with ore. A big shipment
is now ready to be made to Salt Like.
The bad roads have been a serious set
back to the company during the past
Winter.
A number of mining cars, steel for
track and other supplies are at the Elko
freight depot waiting to be taken out.
AS soon as material eau be had. a four
furnace smelter is to be constructed.
The ore of the Copper Basin properties
is a good smelling ore and will be
worked by smelling and a modern
method of precipitation, which has teen
tried and found to work successfully.
Two miles east of the Copper Basin
properties lies the Liberty Bell in which
a large body Of high grade lead, gold
and silver has been developed. Ten
msn are at work on this property and
as soon as the roads permit regular ship
ments will be made.
Ten men are at work on Senator
Oddie's group of claims, and Wing6eld
and Nixon are doing extensive develop
ment work. On these properties large
forces will soon be put to work. Other
properties are being developed and are
showing up to a good advantage.
Surveys for the railroad will begin
within the next three weeks, and when
the route shall have been decided upon
construction work will be pushed rapid
ly to completion. Mr.. Calvin has this
proposition financed and is ready to
proceed. The road will run from Bald
Mountain to Ely. but the route will not
be decided until the completion of the
surveys One of the surveys will go by
way of EIko up South Fork canyon.
The people of Elko should use every
endeavor to have the road go by this
line. as it means very much to this
town.

Some excitement was created on

Proposed Ore Bunkers for Eureka


The DIAMOND Mining Company this
week resumed shipping ore to the Salt
Lake shelters. No shipment has been
made for several weeks on account of
being unable to procure the return OF a
large number Of sacks from Salt Lake.
A new order has gone into effect where.
by the ore from this company will be
dumped from the sacks into dongola
cars at Palisade and the sacks returned
from that point. A proposition is now
under way to build buukers at the E.. q
T. depot for the storage of Eureka ores.
This will do away with sacking the ore
and will save about 90 cents a ton on
the cost Of shipping.

BIG CROP OF BABIES
Boston Women Didn't Do a Thing to

Boston. April ll.-Swamped by births
it was organized to promote. the Ameri.
can Birth Insurance Society has gone
into the hands of q receiver and the
Supreme Court has been asked to de-
eide the disposition of $1,000 on hand.
The society started operations about two
years ago. and was intended to pay $3.50
to 5000 upon the birth of a baby in the
family of the policy-holders. the idea
being that many families avoided chill
dren because of the expense attendant
upon their coming.
Though it secured much new bust

with the births it had to pay for. and
decided to quit business while still
solvent.

NYE's NEW DISTRICT JUDGE
James p. O'Brien Will Become Judge
of New Fifth Judicial District


Attorney James p. O'Brien of Tono.
pah, who was in Reno last week. has
been rendered the appointment Of Judge
Of the District Court for the newly
created fifth district. aud has forwarded
his acceptance to Governor Sparks.
Before the appointment can be made,
Judge Breen of the old third district
will have to resign. merely as a matter
Of form, however, to comply with the
constitution Of the State. Originally
the third district comprised the counties
of Nye, Lander and Eureka. The last
Legislature created a new district,
which consists of the county Of Nye.
while the old third now com prises
Lander and Eureka. But the constitu-
ton says that before such a change can
be effected the Judge must resign.
There is little doubt that Judge Breen
will resign, as he was Instrumental in
having the bill passed. He will be i'm
mediately reappointed as Judge of the
new third.
The salary that goes with the new
judgeship is the largest paid to any
judge in the State. $1,000 year.

Street Tree PLANTING.

Various large cities and towns
throughout the United States, as we'll
as many lesser ones. are taking up the
matter of planting all street trees and
with most gratifying success, so much
so that another decade will doubtless
witness the complete passing of street
tree planting by individual property
owners OF even by concerted action
otherwise than under the direction of
a city or town official or department.
There appears to be no legitimate bar
rier to a city or town assuming this
work, and all the argument is on that
side of the question, says the Los An
geles Times. In public improvements
what benefits one benefits all, and
there is no reason why a city or town
government may not make its streets
beautiful as we'll as making them eco
nomically disable. 1t is admitted that
trees along the front of a property add
value in the same proportion to the
cost as do curb, sidewalk or pavement,
therefore the expense should be borne
in the same manner. So far as re-
turns from the outlay is concerned.
the planting Of trees is decided the
better Investment, for while the initial
outlay is slight the value accumulates
with advancing years, the only phase
of street improvement that does.

College Debates and Citizenship

The recent intersociety debates at the
university upon the subjects Of the COM
mission plans of city government and
federal regulation of railroads are of un-
usual interest and practical Importance.
Debating has long been recognized as an
important factor IN the development of
the individual, but when the subjects
are practical questions concerning which
all useful citizens are seeking informa-
ton, the debates have an even greater
value. The training obtained in prep
aration for such contests gives one the
ability to weigh arguments very care
fully, and at the same time to see all the
arguments in true perspective. When
there is added to this general training
the interest aroused and fixed in the
workings of government, municipal, state
and federal, the good debater becomes a
doubly useful citizen. This "profession-
al education in citizenship" is an i'm
portant feature of student life at the
University of North Dakota

SOCIAL cENTERs.
How Rural Schools Can Be Used For
Benefiting Communities.

Benefiting Communities.
The school must offer vocational
training. This does not mean that ev-
cry school shall be a trade school. 1t
does not eyen mean that the school
shall aim specifically to teach trades.
1t does mean, however, that we will
come to realize thai the schools in pre-
pairing the pupils for complete living
must bear in mind the fact that voca-
ton is a large part of life, says Les
lies Weekly. Consequently vocational
training in it's broadcast possible as
poets must be II of the largest phases
Of school activity. This may not mean
the Introduction Of elementary agricul-
ture into all the rural schools. but it
will mean the utilization of agricul.
tural material in the training of the
pupil, so that if he enters the agricul-
tural vocation he will be adequately
prepared for it.
The school also must develop the
spirit of social or community service.
l know of nothing better in this line
than the plan used in Maine of or
ganlzlng School improvement leagues.
1t is desirable also for the school to
become a social center, or at least one
Of the social c%enters, of the neighbor-
hood. The school ought to play a large
part in the life of the mature people
Of the community, and it may we'll act
as a sort Of rallying center for the ed
ucational interest of adults as we'll as
Of children. The school must definite
~ cooperate with other institutions of
the community, such as the church, the
grange, improvement societies, library
etc. In this connection there should
be frequent joint meetings of teachers
and school patrons for the discussion
both of school topics and Of subjects of
general community interest.
