The Mendah mine is shipping
daily from twelve to fifteen tons
of good grade lead-silver-gold
value ore from its bins to the
freight depot, and the production
in the past few months will
reach the twenty carload mark.
AS to the condition of the mine
itself we cannot hardly describe
the immense ore bodies in the
Mendah; every foot of develop
ment work in the past month
has uncovered ore, and now, at
the very lowest workings it has
been asked, how large is the ore
body at this point? VIM. Lloyd,
the "Ore Hound of Phoebe" will
say it is no ledge, it is acres of
ore, and certainly the last work
done will prove to any doubter
the truth of the last statement
as to it's volume.
Nothing is concealed at the
Mendah; it is there and there
are no locks on the door to Wis
itors and anyone in the mining
fraternity that wish to see what
is now claimed the greatest body
of ore ever uncovered in the
Highland district, in the twenty
years history of the old Mendah
mine. No sorting of the ore is
necessary. 1t is taken down in

Abandoned.

Seven out of twenty-one public school
buildings inspected by William T. Belt.
chief OF the local fire department. within
the past ten days. with view-of deter
mining what is necessary for their proper

Chief Belt recommended that the use OF
the buildings enumerated be discontinued
If they cannot be improved. and that new
ones be provided. He has. in each case.
permit the temporary use Of the buildings
until new ones can be erected.
Chief Belt does not believe that even
with the fire protection recommended for
them they will be entirely safe. and he
declares that 1t should be thoroughly un-
derstood that he cannot approve their per-
marent use, even after repairs and i'm
provements are made. He invited espe-
cial attention to the fact that he consid-
ers it dangerous to use any frame build
inQS for school matter what
provision is made for fire protection. and
in this respect he recommends that all
