All of a sudden it has been discov-
cred that the High School is far from
the educational center, that it is dam
eerous and "a disgrace to the city. The
discovery is scarcely so great as the
one made by Columbus. The city en-
gineer5 couldn't possibly locate the edu-
cational center of the city. 1t is true
that the buildings could be better ar.
ranged than they are, made more mod.
erI and convenient, but they are far
from being bad as they are said to be.
Tho grounds are ample and beautiful,
and the school is one of which people Of
Salt Lake may be and are proud. What
the school needs far more than new
location and new buildings is a large
Increase in the teaching corps to meet
the ever-growing demands made upon
the school.

fact that 1t carried the controversy
from the mere historical domain into
the field of morals, and jumps over
the fence again. Its latest contention IS
that there Is not the least analogy pc

ferred to and the position OF the hier-
archs Of the Mormon Church"
Why the Tribune should coniine the
remark to "the hierarchs of the Nor
mon Church, thereby excepting the
hierarchs of the Catholic church lor
instance. Is one OF the mysteries OF the
crusade. except to those who can pene-
trate the plots and see that the entire
controversy is not for American prih-
ciples Of liberty against cccleslastlcai

sauIt upon orc Church. inspired from
the regions over which Beelzepup
presides. 1t is the Mormon HER
archy' the Tribune would fain cham
to the rock while it pours its viais OF
poison upon it. Ecclesiastical dignl-
taries who may claim to be 'mouth-
pieces" and even vice-gerents on eartn
OF the Almighty, do not come In for any
criticism at all. The crusade is as one
sided as 1t Is bisoted and un-Amerl-
can.
But, to return to the argument. The
Tribune tells us there is no analogy pc
tween the position of ministers OF 9TH
err churches and that OF the Mormon"
hierarchy This Is simply begging the
question. 1t is taking for granted that
which is most emphatically denied and
basing an argument upon disputed
proposition. There Is no Mormon"
hierarchy, any more than there was
hierarchy" in the Apostolic church.

The Prophet Joseph, when permit

vention for endorsement for the Presi-
dency Of the United States, was not
accused Of violating fundamental
principle Of Americanism. He was not
opposed on that ground. BY no other
means could he have brought before
the people the excellent political truths
that had been revealed to him and that
will prevail, although shortly after
their PRONUNCIATION he was called away
from this sphere of action, Therefore
he adopted that course even while he

violated no principle of American gov

Picture Rock Struck on Merger Lease

ally sure sign of permanent wealth
in spar and tale in the district, all
the permanent ore bodies here are
cuartz bodies. The high-class ore at
the point of discovery on the Merger
lease is a compact body of true quartz
and is regarded locally as the unfail-
ing evidence that n great mine is
eing developed on the Merger ground
In the work so far done at the
Merger shaft the ore body has shown
wonderful Improvement and persist
cnce. At the surface an inch stringer
of high-grade quartz was uncovered.
This rapidly widened by the Junction
&c similar stringers, until ut depth of
20 feet there was a~six-inch streak OF
quartz that showed an average ofe9a
ton. At this point the vein dipped
out of the shaft and its recovery at
depth of rs feet, twelve feet from the
shaft, showing 12 inches of quartz,
containing picture specimens is taken
as sure sign that it is the apex OF
great ore body below. Rich feeders
are still entering the main body at tn,
present depth, promising the rapid de-
velopment Of an immense body of ors
below.
Important events have already de-
veloped from the strike One is the
practical closing of deal with east
ern investors, who were on the ground
following the discovery, by which the
lease is safely financed for the rest
of it's career and the early installation
of machinery and vastly increased Oh
erations are insured. 1t has practical
Iy been decided to install hoist, to
be operated by power from the big
Wihuja compressor plant, which will
soon be in a position to pipe air power
to all the neighboring properties. The
Merger will resume sinking operations
in short time, and one of the first
objectives will be station and drifts
from the 150-foot level. Another i'm
mediate result of the strike will be
the preparation on the 75-foot level
for a mill run Mt the kindergarten
mill, which is only few hundred feet
away. Drifts will be run both ways
on the vein for the purpose of provid-
ing stoping ground. 1t is believed that
at least two feet will average very
highclass milling ore.
The Merger shaft is in the center OF
a three-vein system coursing between
the Mazuma Hills and kindergarten
and Wihuja mines; if these veins fol-
low the habit of all the stringers IA
the vicinity of the shaft, as they ap-
pear to do, they will merge at depth

PECULIAR MINERAL
SPECIMENS FOUND
FOSSIL EGGS FOUND
DEEP BENEATH SURFACE
A Find Interesting to Science Made in
the 2000-Foot Tunnel at
Coppereio

John T. Reid, superintendent of the
Nevada United Mining company,
brought to town yesterday some strange
looking mineral specimens, which have
Jeen pronounced fossil eggs by local
authorities, and that they come from
a period in the history of the earth
dating back many thousands of years,
TO the Devonian age.
The eggs were found 1000 feet into
the side Of the mountain, and were
under deposits, indicated by the strata
to be eight or nine thousand feet deep.
The specimens resemble eggs In
shape and are about the sic of man =
head, some being larger than others.
broken open, the specimens disclosed III
the center, a mass of solid galena,
which surrounded by greenish coiored
mineral containing aluminium, while the
outsideand covering was very hard
silica formation. The appearance of
the inside indicates quite plainly that
the minerals have displaced other
matter, which Is the best proof that
one day in the history of the eartn
many, many thousands of years ago,
when Coppereid, and in fact the whole
United States, with the exception of
marrow strip along the Atlantic sea-
board, was under water, mighty sea
animal deposited the eggs. Either
Mamma Fish failed to take care of
the eggs, or from some cause they
failed to hatch, and were covered up
by drifting sands and deposits, AMI
were preserved. Then as the years
rolled on, and the deposits kept grow
ing at the rate of about an inch year,
the eggs petrified, SO to speak, and
later Oh in the course of time, the
country raised up ou. of the sea
level, 5000 feet of deposits gathered
on top of the eggs, and the yolk AMI
the whites were displaced by various
minerals, and therefore, because of all
these things, what was intended to
have been more sea urchins, has become
fossil eggs, to be handled and wondered
at by the representatives of the age
Of man.

We endorse the entire Republican

This convention of the Republican
party of Humboldt county stands
aghast at the .mprudent and extrava

the present administration of the
county, and presenting a condition Of
the fragrant waste OF the public

We condemn the acts of the county

point to the wide difference in cost to
humboldt county for printing and ad-

We charge that the practice of such
extreme extravaganza has been counter
balanced by the practice of undue

(By M. E. King.)

SEVEN TROUGHS, Nevada, Sep.
tember goth, 1908. = Seven Troughs
is in the throes of an excitement result
ing from what appears to be one of the
most important ore discoveries in the
district for half year. From the bot
tom of it's seventy-five foot shaft, the
Seven Troughs Merger Mining company
operating the Merger Lease on the
Therien estate and owner in addition
of several groups of claims has broken
into strong vein containing foot of
high grade ore, much of which is pic
ture rock. The discovery occurred
yesterday morning, when the contract
ors, who are driving the crosseut, re-
turned to work and found the drift
half full of quartz that had been shot
out by the round of shots fired the
previous evening, much of which quartz
showed free gold to the naked eye.
When the contractors, Messrs. Cutler
& GLASGOW, began to hoist the muck,
the excitement began. The material
that came from the crosscut and WIS
piled on the dump and was calculated to
create STIR and in less than an hour
great crowds were "high- grading" for
specimens of free gold ore. Many
beautiful and valuable specimens were
carried away by the excited crowd. In
addition to the foot of quartz, it has
since been ascertainod that the Who'll"
vein is impregnated more or less with
gold across several feet and consti-
tutes one of the most promising show
ings ever opened up in the district.
Great significance is attached to the
discovery for several reasons. 1t is
one of the main veins that course from
the two big mines on the Mazuma
Hills territory--the Mazuma Hills mine
and the Reagan lease-to the Kinder
garten mine and the Wihuja lease on
the Therien, and it proves the contin
uity of this great vein system. The
discovery occurs about 300 feet from
The Wihuja and kindergarten mines,
both leaders and producers, and about
500 feet from the Mazuma Hills AMI
Reagan mines, that are making the
record production of the district. Tha
opening up of such an unusually riea
and strong ore body between the four
greatest properties of the district, is
taken to augur great and important
events and developments ON this ground
in the near future.
Much significance is also attached
to the strike on account of the opening
up of such unusually strong and COM
pact body of quartz SO near the
surface. 1t is true vein quartz, and
the development of the district up to
date has proved that quartz is practi-
