Death Of Miss Morris.

After an illness lasting less than
two weeks, Miss Morris died at the
home of Mrs. James M. Cole last
Sunday morning. Acute Bright's
disease and complications were the
cause of death.
Miss Morris father arrived the
evening before and was with his
daughter when she passed away.
The remaius were prepared for
shipment and were conveyed to Rife
from which point they will be for
ward to the old home at Des Moines,
Iowa, for burial.
During her illness Miss Morris had
the best of medical attention, but the
nature of her malady left slight hope
for ultimate recovery at any stage of
her illness. She was most tenderly
cared for at the hands of Mrs. Cole
and Miss Ehnbom both of whom be-
slowed on her the love and devotion
OF mother and sister.
Deceased was in her twenty-third
year. She was a graduate of the
University of Minnesota. She came
to White river about year ago and
took charge of the Yellow creek
school, coming to Meeker at the be-
ginning of present term.
In the untimely death Of Miss Nor
ris our schools lose popular and
very capable teacher.

School Notes.

Unity and cooperation make
strength.
If We have a uniform course of
study and classification the teachers
should be consulted to make it more
perfect.

eighth grade questions. These ques-
tions are for written examination
on work done the first half Of the

practical as possible, teachers have
been requested to prepare questions
on one subject. The following teach
ers will help prepare the examina-
ton questions:

TWO EXCHANGES
ARE

Certain brokers on both exchanges
have been making a practice of working
both ends against the middle in their
efforts to make an honest dollar. The
quoted prices on many of the active
stocks vary on the two local exchanges.
some sessions the variations mounting
to several points and this condition has
been seised upon for quick turns. The
governing committee of the Goldfeld
Mining Stock Exchange has frowned
pom the practice as the following reso-
luton adopted by Its governing commit
tee will show:
"TSat in the opinion of this commit
tee. I'M member who shall directly or
Indirectly through another. buy, sell,
trade. execute any order. or make any
transaction in any securities dealt in on
his exchange. or knowingly receive any
orders with any member Of any other
mining exchange in Goldheld, shall be
considered as committing a breach of
faith with his fellow members. and shal
be subject to expulsion. This rule takes
effect at once"
The chief motive Of the foregoing ac-
ton was to break up the New Exchange
II possible. by cutting on as much bust
ness as possible. Heretofore brokers in
the old exchange have in~terchanged
business with brokers on the new board
and thus contributed much to the activ-
ity Of the rival exchange. 1t Is under
stood that the old board has made nat
tering Inducements to a dozen members
of the new exchange. to join the former
body.

The Western Ore Purchasing Com
pany's immense plant. situated south OF
the Southern Pacific railroad tracks and
east Of the terminal Of Fourth street,
Reno. was completely destroyed By q
fire that started at 2:45 o'clock Tuesday
morning. Energetic work on the part
Of the fire department was unwilling.
Twenty minutes after the engines ar
rived at the scene. the building wa
razed by the flames.
For ten minutes before the alarm
was turned in-and then from Sixth
and Lake streets. according to the IN
formation given by q hreman-the sig
nal for the department was unheard.
The belated pedestrians. seeing the
lighted heavens. did not trouble them
selves to inquire the cause Of the fire.
But when the engines and hose wag-
cns were called. they made one of the
fastest runs on record. arriving in time
to lay about 500 feet Of hose from East
Fourth street clear across a field and
over IN railroad track to the blaze. But
the structure was then enveloped in
flames.
The fire was caused by crossed wires
on the roof. Fifteen men were at work
at the time.
The Western Ore Purchasing COM
pany's plant was valued at about $685.

On Tuesday last the crusher was at

f. 8. Cunningham, Of the
Blue Jay mine at Wonder and engineer
and of the Fairview Silver
King property at Fairview is making a
short visit to Goldneld. Mr.. Cunning.
ham is one of the leading citizens OF
Wonder and has had much to do with
the development of the northern camp.
He has had full charge Of the building
Of a waterworks system, which Is prac-
tically completed and will be running
inside of two weeks. The water is
brought from Bench creek. 81 miles
away. He has also built an ice plant
and a swimming pool at Wonder.
The Blue Jay mine is being developed
by several shafts which have been sum-
all the way from 30 to $50 feet. A fine
body Of ore has been opened up at a
depth of lot feet and there il every IN
dication that the Blue Jay will make q
mine. The Blue Jay adjoins the Nevada
Wonder on the east and Mr.. Cunning
ham says the Nevada Wonder is a great
property, one of the greatest in the
state. He has been through bot the
Nevada Hills and the Nevada Wonder
and while admitting the wonderful rich
ness Of the Fairview bonanza he be-
lieves that its Wonder rival will out
strip 1t in the race for supremacy. The
management Of the Nevad Wonder is
not giving out much information con-
corning the development Of the property
but shipments of ore are being made
right along and the returns are more
than satisfactory. The engineering
features Of the development work are
narfect according TO Mr.. CUNNINGHAM
and It will not be long before the Me-
d Wonder takes its proper place
among the great producers of the state.
On the Silver King property a Wine
is being mi on the vein and has
reached a depth of 80 feet. This vein
enters the Silver King ground from the
Nevada Hills Annex and gives promise
of developing a good body Of ore.
