WOMEN ASK FOR
CLEANER SCHOOLS
Complain to Supervisors of the
Insanitary State of Many
Buildings

Serious insanitary conditions of the
public schools of the city is made the
subject of an exhaustive communion
ton to the board of supervisors from
the women's sanitation committee Of
the citizens health committee. Through
the facts as set forth in long letter
it is hoped the board of education will
be granted sufficient money to put the
schools IN perfect condition. IT is stip-
ulated that this money. in case it is
granted the school board, should be
expended for certain specified repairs
for each individual school.
Segregation of the schools through
( out the city has been made in the COM
pilation of the conditions at the diff
ferent institutions in three groups.
These are temporary schools in the
burned district, embracing group /;
schools of temporary character erected
before and after the fire make up
group 2, and permanent schools group g..
Referring to group l, recommends
tions are made for general improve
ment of the sanitary conditions. Plumb
/ ing in this group is said TO be far more
sanitary than in either OF the other
/ two groups, but the committee says
the doors of these schools should be
made TO open out instead of in, as at
present
! Needs similar to those of group l
are reported as existing in group 2, but
! FIVE institutions of the latter class Will
/ be replaced by new buildings soon.
! Polytechnic high, which is in the latter
group. is said to be much overcrowded
and sadly in need of increased equip
ment.
/ MUNICIPAL DIsGRACES
With the exception of two schools,
/ those of group are declared to be mu-
nicipal disgraces.
A.. Going further into details of the con-
ditions of the separate school build
ings. recommendations are made for
the recalcimining of the walls of the
majority of the buildings. The plumb
/ ing of the greater number is said to be
in gross violation of the health ordi-
nances and laws supposed to be in
force in San Francisco. The areas of
the. yards. the conditions of the base
ments and the floors of the different
/ buildings are all explained thoroughly
! and recommendations accordingly made.
Fire escapes, much better janltor serv-
ice and medical inspection of the
4 schools of the poorer districts are
urgently recommended.
Summarizing the report, the morals
| and health of 39474 children are affect
ed by the present conditions of the
schools and an urgent appeal for inn
I mediate action is made by the women
sanitation committee.

Mendah To
Resume Work

Manager John R. Cook. of the
Mendah-Nevada Company, says
that active operations on the old
reliable ore producing Mendah
property, will begin about May
5th.
A new air compressor and
drills will be installed to greatly
facilitate the work to be under
taken. At present the mine has
in sight more ore than at any
one time since it's discovery.
Regular shipments will soon
speak for the merits of this
great producer; and plans are
about completed for a side track
of the Pioche-Pacific narrow.
guage railroad, at a convenient
point, where the Mendah ores
will begin a rail journey to the
smelters.
Other properties near this pro.
ducer are held at a good figure,
the owners believing the present
undeveloped ground just as
good in values and tonnage.

New York Market News

when the country may be ex-
pected to settle down into its
regular routine of work.
Nevada shares have been
heavy during the week just past,
a fact which shows that these
markets can be manipulated just
as the heavy interests desire.
As a general thing, Nevada
share and curb stocks generally
are very cheap. There is no
public pressure to sell, nor is
there any inside desire to real
ize on stocks at prevailing price
levels. With little or no stock
for sale, therefore, it is a COM
paratively easy matter for a
click of bull operators to put a
market up with some degree of
rapidity, as was do recently in
the case of Great Bend and Ton
opah Mining. The manipulators
who find two or three times as
many buying orders in the mar
ket as there are selling orders,
are able to put up prices with
out getting very much stock and
then to market such stock as
they have been able to pick up
at substantial profits.
Every manipulative bull move
ment In mining shares from
now on will take out weak hands
and leave stocks after the move
ment is over, at materially higher
price levels. This is the proper
period for the accumulation of a
line of good curb stocks in an
ticipation either of manipulative
market movements, or of a full
sized boom not yet due, which
will carry all stocks to inordin,
ately high prices, as was the
case in the fall and winter Of
1906.

improvements Showing
Up

Last Sunday afternoon the
improvements on the surface of
the Nevada-Des Moines property
became visible to the mining
fraternity of Phoebe. One of
the largest and most modern
gallows frames in the district
was raised over the 135 foot
shaft of the Baltimore claim.
Mr.. Bruce is the architect and
builder. The large and commo-
dious engine room is about COM
pleted and every thing will be
in readiness to receive the mod
ern gasoline hoist, air compress
or and power drills are soon as
they arrive.
Dan Mahedy is in Chicago at
present making the purchases,
and will accompany the machin-
cry right through to avoid delay
in the freight shipments.
Some few weeks ago we gave
our readers the actual assays
from the diamond drill core. the
work of the ler-McKinnor

doubtful way: Can these val

Second Accident
Proves Fatal
Dan AtchisOn is Crushed by
Wheels of Heavily Load
ed Ore Wagon.

The distressing news was
brought to Phoebe Thursday
evening from Bristol, of an acci-
dent occurring to Dan Atchison,
which resulted in his death.
From reports of the accident
available, it seems that he was
driving a team loaded with ore
down the summit from the Bris-
tol mine, the team in some man
ner became frightened and ran
away, throwing the unfortunate
young man from the wagon di-
rectly beneath the wheels, which
passed over his head, killing him
instantly. When news of the
death reached Pioche, sorrow was
expressed on every side. Dan
had met with a similar accident
some months ago while driving a
team to the California-Pioche
properties, which resulted in his
being confined to his bed for a
number of weeks, and was just
recovering from the former inju-
ries, when he was overtaken by
this one, which proved fatal.
The deceased leaves a wife and
a number of relatives in Panaca,
where he was raised, and tc
whom the RECORD extends its
sincerest sympathy.
The body was brought il
Thursday evening and taken tc
Panaca, where interrment viii
take place today.

Encouraged by the success of
several minor hoatations of Sc
curities the banking interests of
New York are beginning to go
into the market with new issues
of large amount. They are be-
ginning to attempt to make the
country digest the undigested
and hitherto indigestible. The
official announcement of the un-
derwriting of a new forty mil
lion dollar bond issue of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company
shows that the banking interests
feel that money in large amounts
can be tempted from its hiding
places.
The oncoming of this food OF
new securities will, of itself for
the time being, have a tendency
to steady the markets and to
check the tendency toward SER
ious declines which might other
wise be in order. Banking sup
port to active stocks is necessary
when banking interests try tc
pass out brand new securities tc
a timid public.
Much of the new Pennsylvania
bond issue goes abroad. The
depression in Europe has no
been nearly so keen as in tht
| United States nor the blight O.
panic so bitter. Europe will
probably gobble up many of tn,
lplums before the American pub
| lie regain that measure of con
fidence in the country's pros
9perity necessary to make for &C
tive buying and strong markets

Local People
Form Company
Will Work Valuable Mining
Property to the West
of Phoebe.

One of the latest interpretations
formed for the purpose of work
ing mining ground in this vicini-
ty, is the Phoebe Gold Crown
Mining and Milling company.
The company is incorporated un-
der the laws of Arizona for $50,
600 shares at a par value of 81.
The mines which the company
proposes to work its situate to
the west of town, and southeast
and adjoining the Phoebe Mines
company. The ground has long
been looked upon by prospectors
here as very valuable. Many
lodges show up strong, and with
development work properly exc
cuted no doubt exists but a mine
will be made. 1t is proposed tC
put the diamond drill on the pro-
perty just as soon as conditions
will warrant. In the meantime
a force of men will be put tc
work developing the ledge in or
der to determine the most feast
HE noint in which to start the
drill.
The incorporators are loca
people, men whom we all know
to be competent to take charg'
of such an undertaking, know
ing full we'll that good consistent
work will be the motto OF tn
company. The incorporators arr

Caliente Wins
Ten to Eight
Very Good Game Played
Sunday Last.

The ball game at Caliente last
Sunday proved satisfactory one
for the first game of the season.
Although the home team lost to
Caliente by the score of 10 to 8,
it gave an opportunity to see
that Phoebe would have a fast
team that would before long be
heard from, and the town would
be proud of the boys before the
season ended. Bowling the To-
cal pitcher, struck out twelve
men, and worked very well at
all stages of the game. One of
I the features of the game was
the very heavy hitting of
both teams; Pioche got twelve
hits to Caliente ten. Smith of
Caliente come to the front with
a home run in the seventh in
ming, with three men on bases.
This clinched the game for Cali
ente, but the Phoebe boys fought
all the way through, and did not
give up until the last man was
out. Fennell led the home team
in batting, getting three safe
hits. Peek and Ronnow also
batted well.
Batteries: Phoebe = Bowling
and Fennel.
Batteries: Caliente : Carol,
