NEW KIND Of POWDER
FOR MINING PURPOSES

A San Jose. Cal, powder manu-
featuring company promises to revo-
lutionize the powder business with a
new product, supposed to be cheaper
and better in every way than the va
rious brands now in use. One of
the good features claimed for it is
that it emits no injurious fumes, and
when used in mines will have no bad
effect on the miners. 1t is also said
to be more powerful, doing from 40
to As per cent greater execution than
any other explosive and at a saving
of 90 per cent in cost. They say it
won't freeze, is not affected by age,
and the only way it can be exploded
as a whole is by conclusion of a pow
erful cap. In one of their tests a
handful was placed on an anvil and
struck with hammer When ignit-
ed with a match it burned like pa
per The merits of this new powder
are to be investigated by the United
States government with a view of
adopting it for use in the army and
navy. The makers claim it cannot
be exploded by shells and balls from
the guns of the enemy If all of
these claims can be satisfactorily
demonstrated, its value can hardly be

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
SHOWING INCREASE
NEW BUILDING CANNOT BE
MADE READY BEFORE FIRST
OF YEAR.

Ely's public school opened on Mon
day under very favorable conditions
for a successful term. The attend
ance on the opening day was not
large, but 1873 were enrolled and on
Tuesday much larger enrolment
was recorded It is thought that by
the beginning of next week that there
will be 225 enrolled. The schools
have been entrusted 70 the expert
enced hands of Prof p. G. Cullen.
an instructor of large experience and
one of the best educators in Nevada,
as principal. Prof. Cullen and Jean
cite e. Bragg are in charge of the
high school and eighth grade in the
Brunswick building on hurry street.
There are eight high school pupils,
but the number will be increased to
about 20 or % by next week. The
eighth grade had Is pupils the first
day and that number will also be
largely increased by next week.
Miss Mayme Delany is in charge of
the sixth and seventh grades in the
Wheeler building, adjoining the
Brunswick building on North hurry
street. She has about % pupils en-
rolled, but an increased attendance
will also be noticeable in her depart
ment by the coming week.
The intermediate department is
under the carefully trained eye and
mind of Miss Minnie Mau, who has
been a teacher for the past two terms
in the Ely school.
Miss Alma Algeo. a teacher of
wide experience in the public school
system of southern California, is in
charge of the primary grades.
With such a corps of teachers the
schools of Ely will be second to none
in Nevada.
Miss Mau and Miss Algeo are in
the old building on High street. The
accommodations are somewhat
cramped at present and on the theory
Of tany port in a storm" the board
of trustees. rented the three rooms
on Murry, the best obtainable. On
the completion of the new brick
building now in course of construc-
ton on High street, the children of
Ely will have one of the finest edu-
cational homes in Nevada. 1t will
be steam heated and every modern
convenience for the comfort of the
pupils has been looked after.
1t will probably be the first of the
year before the new building will be
ready. In the meantime the board
of trustees will look after the COM
fort of the pupils.
1t is safe to say that brighter lot
of pupils never presented themselves
to any knowledge shop in the land
than were present at the opening
They were all well dressed, clean and
with determination stamped on their
faces. Ely this year has taken big
step forward in an educational way
as well as in every other direction.

COLORADO RIVER is
SAFE IN BOUNDS

Southern Pacific officials state that
there is now no question of the sue
cess of the recent work of turning the
Colorado river back into the old
channel and away from the Salton
sea- Several officials who recently
returned from the Colorado desert
say that everything is in the best pos
sible shape. There is absolutely no
danger of the river ever breaking out
again and overlooking Salton basin.
In fact, conditions are now better
than before the original break oc-
cured. The river has shifted its
channel to the east away from the
big diversion dam and has silted up
the old channel until there is a space
of 80 feet next to the dam that is
high and dry.

In part the report says.
Net earnings for the year amount
ed to $1,34S,311.0S in excess of the
preceding year. Expenditures on ac-
count of ordinary repairs, better
ments, improvements and new con-
struction amounted to $2,031 ,530.97,
which has been entirely deducted
from the profits of the year.
There has been added to the sur
plus of the company during the year
$2,914,25324 The surplus now
amounts to $13,397, 02S.12. Atten-
ton is called to the fact that the
metal stocks of the company in pro-
cess of smelling and refining were
valued at the beginning of the fiscal
year at low figures. The directors
have not deemed it advisable to in
crease valuations, although high
prices have prevailed during the
year.
At the meeting the old officers of
the concern were reelected. Two
designations from the directorate
were announced in the cases of Guy
C. Barton and Henry L. Higginson.
The vacancies were filled by the cleo
ton of William Sproule and Judd
Stewart. Regular quarterly divi-
dends were announced of | "a per
cent on the preferred and 2 per cent
on the common stock.
Speaking of the investments, the
report says no material change has
been made in the valuation of the in
vestments of the company. A reduc-
ton in the total value has been due
to the sale of a portion of the stock
of the United Lead company, owned
by this company and referred to in
