CROWDED SCHOOL
 IN FL CENTRO
New Building an Imperative
 and Immediate Necessity
One Hundred and Sixty Pupils AL ready and More comine-Trustees Demand Erection of High School Building This Year.

El Centro's growth has been so rapid that the school trustees have been able to keep pace with the re- quirements with great difficulty. The school house, which went into com mission last September, and which at that time was even larger than was needed, is now far too small. By putting in seats in a crowded con dition there is room in the two rooms for 120 pupils, although the rooms were intended for less than 100. Tn the grammar grade there is an en- rollment of 77 and an average attend ance of GA; in the primary grades the enrolment is S3 and the average at tendance is 66. With school house having a normal capacrty of 100 and crowded to capacity of 120, the school trustees and teachers are now confronted with the necessity for pro- viding for 160 children and the pros pect that this number will be in creased % to 50 per cent this spring.
 This week an additional teacher, Mrs. Richardson of San Diego, was secured to assist Mrs. Rapp and Mrs. Futile. The small room, designed for a library, has been supplied with benches and for the present recita- tions of the three lower grades will be heard there. In the main rooms pupils are being doubled up on seats intended for one. Three recitations are being heard simultaneously in the building during school hours, and in many ways the school building and school teachers are forced to do double duty. Recognizing the pros pect that the situation will become worse every week, the suggestion has been made that a room be secured to be used as an auxiliary school room and relieve the congested condition of the school house by taking care of the primary grades But this would be only a temporary makeshift.
 A high school building of consider able size is an imperative necessity. Many students, eligible to high school, now go to school out of town or are taking post graduate courses in the grammar school. The present grammar school will graduate twenty more students this spring, eligible to enter a high school, and it is practi- cally certain that the rapid increase in the population of the town will bring many more children eligible to all the grades from the primary to the high school.
 It has been the intention of the trustees to ask for an appropriation of $2O,O0O this spring and to erect brick or stone building on the school property on Commercial street, to be ready for occupancy at the beginning of the school year in September. If this is done next years school prob lens will have been solved, as the present building can be used for low CT grades only The growth of the city indicates with almost certainty that provision will have to be made for at least 300 students next school year. Such provision can only be made by erecting large high school building, and the trustees will insist that such building be provided,

Even the severest critic of American
music-and most of the critics vie with
each other for this title-cannot deny
the presence Of an extraordinary and
ever increasing creative impulse in
American musical art. While, for rea-
sons to be considered, few American
works in large forms come to general
public performance and scarcely to
local, every year witnesses notable
increase of orchestral works, chamber
music, piano and vocal works IN large
forms and other compositions by
American composers. OF smaller piano
compositions and songs the seasons
bring forth an appalling quantity and
too often, it is true, an appalling quail
ty as well. Yet in the midst of this
saturnalia appear many works Of true
distinction, of breadth and beauty,
works infinitely in advance Of those
usually chosen to represent American
music on artists programmes. And
from, time to time an American opera
rises from the composers conscious
ness to completion-never to perform
ance-and sinks again into a mystic
rious obscurity, oblivion or temporary
neglect, we are fain to know which,

The Richmond Theater Tragedy.

The Richmond theater tragedy, in
which over seventy persons lost their
lives, was the first fatal fire in play
house In this country and naturally
caused almost national mourning Not
only was it blow to theatricals in the
United States at the time, but for half
century its history served as text
for those who contended against the
theater generally as being place Of
vice and immortality. A deep and last
ing impression was made upon the ma
ton by this horrible event, and for a
long time, for a season at least, the
calamity had the effect of keeping
from the playhouses many persons
who were in mortal fear of repetition
of the fatality.-Philadelphia Ledger.

A lively campaign ended in the cleo

The action of the convention does
not dispose of the senatorial question
though 1t is a significant indication of
the result which may be expected. At
the primaries to be held in June the
voters will express their senatorial
preferences directly, and as 1t may be
taken for granted that the Republic

ture will elect the candidate whom the
majority of the Republican voters ia

no legal obligation to do so. but 1t will

1t is a reasonable and pleasing
presumption that the voters who sent
to the state convention delegates a
majority of whom wish to see Senator
Allison reelected also will give him
a majority vote at the primaries. 1t
is no reflection on the merits of the
aspirants for his seat that such vote
would be gratifying to Republicans
throughout the country. They know

LIVE MINING NOTES
FROM GOLD CIRCLE

A letter from S. NJ. Levy, manager of
the Gold Circle Crown company's prop
erty in the Gold Circle district, says that
the inclined shaft on that property is now
down 200 feet. At this depth. and before
going down another 100 feet, il is pro-
posed to cross-cut the vein until both
walls have been disclosed, something that
has not happened since the sinking of the
shaft began
The letter also states that an important
strike has been made in the north and
nys property. This is the same vein that
runs through the Water Witches property
on the north to and through the Ripsaw
on the south of the Massachusetts. and
which is productive of high grade ore in
all three mines. now that the strike men,
toned has been made.
The Frying Pan tunnel of the Nevada
Gold Circle company is now in over loo
feet where the sulphides have been
caught, but where the values. as yet, are
low grade. The point at which the best
ore was found on the surface has not
yet been reached. and when it is, Mr..
Levy is confident that the values will
show up well.
A Mr.. Geyman of Butte is in the dis
trict and it is reported that he has just
ger of the Golconda Cattle company for
water enough to run a good sized custom
milling plant to handle Gold Circle ores,
Mr.. Levy says Mr.. Geyman evidently
means business, and the district is giving
him every encouragement. accordingly
In concluding his letter, Mr.. Levy stated
that the Hart lease on Gold Crown ground
had just opened up fine ore, but no par
ticularS were given.

CHANGES IN COPPER
SELLING AGENCIES

Through the determination of the Amer
lean Smelling 81 Refining company to sell
its own copper lit was previously han
died by the United Metals Selling COM
pany). amounting approximately to 60.Oo0,-
900 pounds annually. the American Smelt-
ers Securities company becomes very
important factor in the copper selling
business.
Through the close affiliations of the
Guggenheim interests with the Nevada
Consolidated and Cumberland Ely COM
panies il is not unlikely that within two
months the Ely production will probably
be ready for market, and that the Amer
lean SHELTERS Securities company will add
this output, thereby increasing the total
amount to be handled yearly to above
the 100, 600 900 pound mark. With the pos
sibility also of the Balaklala entering the
producing ranks this year the American
Shelters may secure this product.
Since the first of the year the Phelps.
Dodge & Co. interests have lost the as
position of the output OF the Imperial
Copper company, which formerly shipped
its ore TO the Copper Queen smelter. now
a matter of 10000 to 100000 pounds per
month.
The American Metal company has Sc
cured contracts with three new compa-
MES, including the Imperial. The other
two are the Douglas Copper company
which has made several small shipments
and Giroux. which has yet to blow IN It's
smelter and start production.
Test runs are to be made within a few
days at the Phoenix mill of the kewee-
nav Copper company. and when this com
pany becomes a regular producer the

doubtedly sell the copper.
Last October Charles Raht, the sales
agent for the Calumet & Hecla company,
took over marketing of the Winona cop
per from the United Metals Selling COM
pany but this company has ceased SHIP
ments of rock to the Adventure mill,
where il was treated.
The New York Metal Selling company
is now selling at the rate of S0.OoOcoo
pounds of copper year. but TINS Is
strictly a brokerage business, as the COM
pany has no selling contracts with any
nroducers A portion of this copper is
obtained from the larger agencies.

Mines and Mining Stocks

and il has been and is still being devel-
oped on broad and comprehensive lines.
Like nearly every mine in the state.
il suffered a setback last year when the
prices of the metals went to pieces and
the smelters would not take ore only on
terms considered prohibitive. A few
months ago. however, the company found
il could ship again on a fairly reason
able basis, so the breaking open of the
ore bodies was resumed and new territory
was invaded with most substantial re-
suits. Even with the fine showing which
the property now makes. a glance at the
maps reveal the fact that it will be
miracle If the mine has passed the best
limits of its productiveness twenty years
from now.

.OOINGS OF UNLISTED
STOCKS ON EXCHANGE

During the open board trading yester-
day East Crown Point sold at &c. Sill
yer King Coalition at S4.G12 and Uintah
Treasure Hill at Ice a share.
Ely Witch was quoted at zoe at 2oc, Ma
son Valley at $1-3O at $40. Ohio Copper at
$500 at $500, while &C was bid for East
Tintic Consolidated, while Thompson was
offered in odd lots at lie.
There is a disposition on the part of
the exchange membership to cut out trad
ing in unlisted stocks, and the probabili-
ties are that it will not be long until
rules will be established prohibiting 1t.
For all ii costs to have stocks formally
listed and formally dealt in and quoted,
the exchange believes there is little eX-
cuse for mining companies to decline to
list.
The Salt Lake exchange is now the best
mining stock exchange in the United
States, and il is one of the best governed.
and no mining company, great or small,
can possibly do other than add to its
strength and popularity by regularly list
ing its shares.

UTAH DIVIDEND
COMES TUESDAY
Usual Monthly Distribution
0rdered-NeW Machinery
for Mine Purchased.

The regular dividend of Sc a share, or
$1,000. was posted by the Utah Mine COM
pany yesterday afternoon. Books will
close tomorrow noon and payment will
follow on Tuesday next.
Secretary E. NJ Weller stated after the
meeting that a forty-seven-ton carload of
high-grade ore was due to reach the
sampler today. No estimate was MADE on
the value of the car. but, judging from
shipments that are made two or three
times a month from the mine, this con-
signment should bring not far from 5000,
and possibly more.
The management has just skipped to
the mine sixty-horsepower gasoline
engine. 1t has reached Oasis yesterday,
and by this time is probably loaded for
hauling to the mine at Fish Springs.
Added to the power already employed at
the property. this engine will more than
double the available horsepower and
permit of the use of more machine drills
in the mine and the better handling of
the ore and waste through the operating
shaft. While no such intimation was
given by Secretary Weller, II looks as
though the Utah was making ready to
largely increase its output and dividend
rate.

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Beck Tunnel and Iron Blossom Cause
Shorts Uneasinass.

Beck Tunnel and Iron Blossom both
jumped up about 10 cents a share yester-
day and the short element in both was
more than ordinarily anxious to cover
yesterday. The bears have had a notion
for a good while that both of these stocks
were due for sharp decline and there
is no doubt but that large short inter
est in them exists. But they don't de-
cline worth d cent. and. whenever an
effort is made to force them down, hold
ers of the stock are so promptly relieved
that they don't know what to make of
ii. With the opportunity which the three
days lay-off at the exchange affords.
coupled with the excursion rates to camp,
the chances are that number OF the
shorts will make it a point to see these
properties for themselves. The market
generally is holding up well and the be-
lief is that the opening Monday will find
the market unusually active and strong.
During the two regular and open board
calls total of 90, 500 shares of stock. with
a selling value of 500, OS4. %. changed hands.
Following is the list of final quotations
and record of sales made during the day:
