That the reports made to the

Ohio,recently by Their manager,

satisfactory is evidenced by let
ter received at this office this week
from Mr.. Csrman. He states that
the i0-ton mill is pra ctically
assured and will be erected Just as
soon as the material can be placed
on the ground. However, that
means in the spring because the
.arly storms have already closed
the road to the mine to heavy
teaming. A crew of men are still
employed at the mill and will be
kept at work during the winter
months.

BEYOND MEDICAL
HELP.

Andrew Hansen, who was called
to San Francisco last week by the
serious illness of his wife who lis
confined in Lanes hospital, re-
turned to Gardnerville Tuesday.
His mission was to get his two lit
tie children that they could be at
the bedside OF their mother whose
death is hourly expected. There
is not the faintest hope for her
recovery and her life is slowly eb-
ing away.
Mrs Hansen has been In poor
health for several years, being
afflicted with heart trouble and
other complications, and during
her long illness the husband has
taken her to the foremost physi-
clans on the coast with hopes of
finding help for her but without
avail.
The family has the heartfelt
sympathy of the community.

This property is by no means a
prospect, Blackwell and Walker
having worked the mine for the
past year, during (which time one
of the finest bodies of ore yet found
in the district was uncovered.
Every foot of depth attained in
the first stages of development
proved that the ledge increased in
size and also in values. The last
assays made put the ore in the
$4,000 class, carrying both copper
and gold and having tendency to
increase in gold values as depth
was attained.
The price paid for the property
was $4,000 and while the owners
were of the opinion that the prop
erty was worth double that sum,
their enthusiasm to be instrument
al in inducing company with
capital to take up the work in the
district, seemed worth a great
deal to these energetic men.
In and about the territory ad-
jacent to the Ruby Hill mine, the
region is in a highly mineralized
zone and is now considered to be
the richest portion of the Pine Nut
district and just now i. the scene
of unusual activity. In the radius
of few miles at least five com
panies are operating.

Ruby Hill Company Sell Their Pine Nut
Property to New York Capitalist for
$5O,OOO.---Big Hoist AIreadyR eceived

This week the most important
deal in the mining history of the
Pine Nut District took place when
a party of New York capitalists
purchased the property of the
Ruby Hill Gold and Copper Min
ing company, of which Raymond
Walker and II. C. Blackwell were
the original locators and principal
owners. The New York parties
are represented by w. C. Truet,
W. B. Pebreux, and Chas. Cruchen,
the latter being connected with
the Utah Smelling Il Refining
company and is mining engineer
of much prominence.
The company has already start
ed work on their newly acquired
property and from general indiea-
tions intend to place the property
IN paying basis at the earliest
moment. Several loads of lumber
were taken to the mine this week
and the necessary buildings are
already under the course of erection.
At the depot two carloads of ma.
chinery await transportation to

High Schools
What County
Needs.

As the election approaches the
time becomes opportune for dis
cussing the county high school.
This mooted question was left in
muddle, and it would he well tn
thresh it out till we know where
We are at. 1t is evident that some
have not grasped the situation.
The county high school will play
al important part in the regenera-
ton of thhe district schools. In
recent years there has been
tendency to consolidate rural
sehools, that is, several schools are
united in one. This gives larger
and better equipped schools and
higher pay Tor teachers. The high
school would not cons 1lidate the
schools, but it would unity and
harmonize the educational work
OF the county. In effect, it would
standardze the schools, whereas
each school now has "a system of
its own. We know something of
the trials Of the teacher who teach
es everything from the beginners
class up to the big boys and girls
doing Irregular high school work,
and that without sufficient time or
adequate facilities. When too
much is attempted the results are,
to SAY the least, unsatisfactory.
This il not intended as criticism
of the district school it 10 an argu-
nent, however, in favor of the
county high school.
A great educator has declared
that "the progress and prosperity
Of the whole country are absolutely
bound up in secondary education"
And how any could oppose
high school--that is one of the IN
scrutable things hard for the mind
TO fathom. The attempt TO side
track the institution tolGenoa was
misfortune TO the county's highest
interests. 1t is an illustration OF
how the disgruntled few can some
times defeat the majority.
Disinterested persons, as well as
State educational officials, have
been unqualified in their approval
OF Gardnerville as the proper
location. Gardnervills is near
ths geographical center. it is the
commercial center, the social center;
and that il the educational center
il evidenced by the fact that more
young people go to the university
from here each year than from the
rest OF the county put toeether.
Lastly, the high school should be
in Gardnerville for the intrinsic
reason that the majority desire it
there.

of having a county high scho l
