fFrom our own Representative
Tonopah, Aug. 1.-Two discoveries
were made here this week which may
have a telling effect on the future OF
Tonopah. Ore has been opened In the
lowest level of the North Star mine.
and ore has been found far out to the
east and south Of the camp. This latter
discovery was made in the Tonopah
which lies three thousand feet
to the east of the Belmont Extension
which is to the east and south of Mount
Oddie.
The find. thu far has proved to be
an insignificant one as far as fs con-
cerned, but no one can tell to what ex-
tent 1t may open up. On the property
of the Buckeye there is a big iron dyke
and instead of sinking on this, the own-
ers, the majority of whom are Toledo
capitalists, started their shaft two hum
dred feet below. They are now down
125 feet, and 1t was there that a half
inch seam was run into. They are go
ing to sink to a depth of six hundred
feet before prosecuting. at which point
they expect to cut right under the dyke.
and find the ore body.
The chances for finding the body are
exceedingly good. and once that IL opend
up, 1t means a wonderful thing for the
camp.
1t has been the general impression
that the ore zone extends to h west;
that 1t will go out farther than the
confines of the Tonopah Extension. The
Little Tonopah to the north and west.
is sinking patiently with this end In
view. and is down near to q. depth of
1000 feet. 1t is pretty certain that
the continuation of the Midway ledge
will be found in and beyond the Golden
Anchor, when they get that property
once more on the active list.
Farther down in the nat on the north
end Of the camp Is the Tonopah STAN
dard, which has been worked to . depth
of 625 feet, and was there compelled
TO stop for lack Of funds Marius Du-
vail. one of the men heavily interested
in that mine, arrived from the east this
week. and says that he will continue
sinking in the Standard to the 1.000-foot
level. So they are going after the ore
on the north and west end of Tonopah'
and now there is q bright hance that
there may be some great Developments
on the south and the east sides Of the
camp. II one of the properties at both
ends Of the camp should make good
what q great zone of speculative value
would be opened up in Tonopah. And

During the past week. since the
change in the management, and
the addition of an expert printer

people of this county have been
keeping the place alive with oil
sorts of printing. The business

of colors. Mr.. Laurance, the

ness and a beautiful display OF
printers ink are the ones that
will tell and give results to the
large amount of advertisers he
has secured. The new directory
will be out in a few days.
The GLOBE is now ready to

Julia C. and DIR. White have

Cross and both have been show
ing up in great style and are now
developing greater speed every
day. While on the Seattle track
the horses were put into practice
and although not entered in the
races for purses. the time made
was surprising. DIR. White made
the run of five furlongs in IL,
which is considered fast work for
a three-year old. The colt has
shown that he has the running
qualities and endurance of his
Kentucky bred mother and also
that of his father, who was i'm
ported from New York.
The horses will now be taken
to the training quarters at Salem

Runawau Manila Gets Hold OF Con

Another runaway occurred Mon
day morning. w. F. Parks

butcher business was left stand
ing at the depot platform with
out being tied and not being used
to the sights around the depot, be-
came frightened and ran down
Main street to the corner by the
S. B. Barker Co.'S store, turned
west and stopped at the barn
where they are kept. Nothing
was damaged.
And still another runaway oc-
cured yesterday morning when
the team on the ice wagon left
the ice man in the lurch. The
team was standing in front of
Fletcher Bros. s saloon when they
decided to warm up a little. In
making the corner near the Bel
vedere saloon building, the horses
missed their guess and landed on
the porch of the Condor Hotel,
smashing part of the porch and
tearing through the door.
The council should pass an or
dinance compelling every one to
tie their teams when they are
left on the street or anywhere
around town, and see that it is
enforced. There has been not
less than five or six runaways in
the past two months and it is a
wonder that someone has not been
injured and now that the streets
are filled with children going
and coming from school, parties
leaving their teams on the streets
should be more careful for in
nine cases out of ten if a child
sees runaway team coming they
become too scared to get out OF
the way.
Counting up the minor run
aways this week this makes four.
Something ought to be done to
put a stop to the recklessness OF
the drivers.

School Notes.

School opened Monday with a
good attendance but owing to
the change in books it took some
time to get to actual work, al
though at present things
have settled down to a business
basis and the outlook is very
bright for a successful school
year. The assignment of teach
ers is as follows;
New building. C. Sturgill,
Principal, Mathematics an d
Science; Miss Irwin, Assistant
Principal, English, Latin and
History; Miss Brehaut, Eighth
Grade; Miss Hershner, Seventh
and Sixth Grades: Miss Simmons,
Sixth and Fifth Grades.
Church building Miss Smith,
Third and Fourth Grades.
Old building-Mrs. G. 7. Nc
Arthur, Second Grade: Miss
Ranney, First Grade.
Parents are requested to Co
operate with teachers in order
that the best results may be OBJ
tained. No school is any better
than the majority of the patrons
wish it to be, and if we wish q
school of the highest standing all
must do their part. Visit your
school, talk with the teacher and
| if you have a grievance report to
the ones in authority and it will
be promptly looked after.
The teachers are here to do
their part in maintaining one of
the best schools in the state and
to do this they must have the
good will of parents and pupils,
Pupils are expected to enroll
early in the term, as they will be
held responsible for work passed
over, because it will be impossible
to organize new classes on ac-
count of the fact that each teach
er will have all the work she can
do.
The School Law of Oregon"
states that parents or guardian
are responsible for the attend
ance at school of children, be-
tween the ages of 6 and 16 years

sion in their district.
Said law also provides: that in
districts wherein a kindergarten
department is open, children OF
the age of four may enter but in

not be enrolled.
