On January l4th articles OF in

Mining company, limited, were filed
with the secretary of state. The
company was organized in Mont
pelier and the officers are as follows:
President-E. A. Burrell.
Sec'y.- -Treasurer-H. Carrick.
These two, with Thos. and Henry
Douglas and M. Malone compose

The company is incorporated for
$500, 600 and the shares are 81 each.
We understand that all of the stock
has been subscribed. The company
owns eight claims about 80 miles
north Of Gold6eld, Nevada. From
the development work already done
on the claims an excellent showing
has been made. This coupled witt
the fact that the claims adjoin som'
very rich properties, leads the mem
bers of the company to believe tina
their property is equally as good ant
that in due time it will take 1t
place among the great wealth pro
ducing mines of that section.

TO VOTE ON BONDS.

School Board Has Submitted Prop
osition to Vote on Bonds for
Building New School
House.
AT an adjourned meeting of the
Montpelier school board, held last
Monday night, a resolution was
passed calling for special election
to beheld at the city hall on Mon
day, Feb. IL, 1907. The election
will be held for the purpose of vot-
ing on the question as to whether or
not the board of trustees of the dis
trlct shall be authorized to bond the
district for the sum of $lS, 900.
SAID bonds to be issued for the pur-
pose of purchasing ground and erect
ing thereon a suitable school build
ing and properly furnishing the
same.
The action of the trustees in ask
ing the qualified electors to author
lze them to issue bonds for this
purpose, is based on the ground that
the city will be absolutely in need
of another building next year in
order to properly accommodate the
constantly increasing number of
pupils and also to properly maintain
the high school department which
was established last year.
As stated in the Examiner two
weeks ago, both of our buildings
are now taxed to their fullest capac-
ity. The enrolment Is larger to-
day than ever before in the history
of our schools, and with the natural
increase in our city i: is foregone
con nclusion that the attendance next
year will be still larger. Without
a new building the board would be
forced to rent at least two rooms
somewhere in town next year. This
would be very unsatisfactory as well
as quite expensive. If oui citizens
will view the conditions in a busl-
ness.l;ke way, we have no fear but
what the bonds will carry by very
large majority.
The site selected for the new
building is adjoining the John A.
Baglev residence on the north. The
trustees have already closed the deal
for the purchase of fraction over
two acres of ground there, and II is
considered as an ideal site for a
school building. The land faces on
two streets-one running north and
south and the other one east and
west. The location is not quite as
near the center of the town as the
trustees would like to have secured,
but of all the sites that were viewed
this one was considered to be by
far the beat and also the cheapest
The price agreed on for this land il
$3.50, which is $3.50 less than th'
next lowest offer. Besides there il
twice the amount of land in thi
tract than there was in any othe
piece suitable.
The site is easy Of access from tn
upper and lower town, and as tn
new building will be used exclusive
: ly for the higher grades, it will no
e be inconvenient for the large
pupils to attend from any porto
r of the city.

Corporation Counsel Thomas Il Not

that they have the power under a joint
resolution of Congress to adopt regula-

Stunning the nature Of a regular vaudeville

power to prohibit Sunday entertainments,

to determine their authority In making
such regulations.
AN infraction Of public decency.'' says
Mr.. Thomas, is the same whether the
occurrence happens on a secular day or
On Sunday. and if the object be the pro-
lection of Sunday alone, in my opinion
the joint resolution is not broad enough
to afford a full emedy.

likely to follow therefrom and there
