THE Y. M. & {.
CO., WORKING
THEIR HOLDINGS

The Yerington Mines & Exploration
Co., have made cleanup at the mill at
Nordyke and have nice gold brick
The ore came from the Effie May gold
mine. The company is very much
pleased with the showing at the mill and
mine. They are sinking the shaft an
other lift. As soon as this is done they
will start drifting on the vein to open up
more stoping ground. Mr.. Taubert, the
president of the company, has just re-
turned from Denver, Colorado. where
he had some assays made for the CON-
pany from their Mohawk group of claims
one and one-half miles northwest of
Yerington. The assays went from S.. 80
to $50. 40.
The ledge is from three to FIVE feet
wide. They have the vein opened on
the surface for over 600 feet Mr. Tau
bert says that Yerington will not only
have big copper mines, but also big gold
mines. This company has also let a
contract to sink shaft on the Taubert
group of claims which side line the Wa
buska Copper Mines Conpany's on the
east The company expects to strike
ore at depth of about 40 or so feet.
This company has also started work
on the Copper Flat group west OF Yer
ington. The Yerington Mines and Ex-
ploration Co., has some OF the best
ground in the district. This ground
was prospected and staked by Taubert
& Sons some years ago. They surely
have picked the best and will have some
big mines.

YERINCTON THE
LOGICAL PLACE
FOR HIGH SCHOOL

The action of the County Commission
ers in locating the high school at Mason
City" last Monday while not wholly a
surprise, was, because of its absurdity
somewhat astonishing.
The high school proposition was pro-
NOTED altogether by Yerington people
and Yerington is entitled to the county
high school because:
1st We have the largest enrolment
of public school children in the county.
I'd. We have the largest corps of
teachers.
Sd. We have good moral homes in
which to board at reasonable rates. young
ladies and gentlemen attending the high
school,
4th. We are actually getting in a
water system to be followed by sewar
system in the immediate future.
Sth. We pay taxes on nearly one
half of the assessment of real estate,
aside from railroads in this county
9Th. We have the largest permanent
population of any place in the county
and are growing city, rightfully en-
titled to the high school and are pre-
pared to give all that anyone can law
fully give toward its construction.
Finally every reason of common sense
and decency require that we should have
the high school, and the people will be
given an opportunity to vote squarely ON
the proposition very shortly, and all we
ask is just what we have the right to ex-
pect, a square deal at the hands OF the
voters. This will give us the high school
by large majority.

A GOOD SHOWING

The regular monthly count OF the
States money was made Monday and
the result shows that the State OF Ne
vada is richer at this time of the year
than at any other in the history of the
State.
Notwithstanding the large appropria-
tions for different purposes that have
been made by the legislatures OF the
mast few sessions and the expense
arising from the special session and the
passage and maintenance of the police
bill, there is at the present time $751;
S67. So in coin in the treasury OF the
state. Beside this amount there are the
following State School Fund securities:
Irredeemable State School bonds, $3.50,
600: Massachusetts State 3 per cent
bonds, $797, 900; Nevada State bonds
Sl7O. 600; Massachusetts 81 per cent
bonds. 1913, 900 and United States bonds
to the amount of $2lS,000; or in all
grand total of s., 406, ,S67. 80.
Against this vast amount OF money
there is only the regular monthly bills

A Great Success

Warmest congratulations are heard on
all sides an / are justly due the women
of ST. Joseph's church upon the very
recherche ball of December IL. The
light fantastic was tripped as never be-
fore by the fair sex and their gallant
partners.
With such fine music as Yerington's
orchestra renders and a floor not to be
surpassed. how could it be otherwise?
At the hour of twelve, all of the dancers
repaired to the Commercial dining room
where a veritable feast was prepared
consisting of hot roasted turkey, chicken
cranberry sauce and salads, in fact space
will not permit of enumerating the many
delicious viands set before the jolly
crowd.
Thanks are due for untiring efforts in
making necessary arrangements to the
various committees. The dining room
was resplendent with the rich glow OF
the Christmas colors which adorne
halls and walls and shaded lights, long
to be remembered an inspiring sight. ,"

A PARTISAN RusE.
Tho Dressmaker's Lure That Ensnares
the Americans.

Tho Dressmaker's Lure That Ensnarsd
the Americans.
Grace Margaret Gould tells in the
September Woman's Home Companion
some Of the ways the Partisan dress
making establishments sell their goods
to American women. Here Is one ruse
that she saw worked in one of the big
gest establishments in Paris:
There was a sudden and evident
commotion among the employees.
1.-THE princess! The princess! She
has arrived!" they cried.
American eyes began to bulge.
Out from a magnificent equipage
stepped regally gowned grand lady,
attended by footmen and maid and re-
ceived by the whole bowling estab-
lishment. to the neglect of all other
customers. She was in a gracious
mood this day and easy to be pleased.
praising their past efforts and select
ing several Of their new creations with
out regard to cost. After she had
made her departure amid like cere-
monies there was no need of the sales
woman bothertng her head over sug-
gestions. Every American woman
present wanted gown copied from
the one the princess had bought, and
she got it after much pleading and at
price far beyond the limit she had
set.
And the point Of this fable is this:
The princess was no princess, but an
employee of the house.
Every French gown has two prices
an American price and French price.
1t is needless to say which is the
greater price.
Along about April the cry goes up.
"The Americans are comingw and then
the prices go up too.
Along about November, when the
Americans have left, you might almost
say they are giving away gowns, only
the Frenchman never does give away
anything. Then it is that the French
woman in general and the French
actress in particular selects her ward
robe.

A TEMPERANCE UNION.
Members Limited to Fourteen Drinks
Of Liquor Daily.

Members Limited to Fourteen Drinks
Of Liquor Daily.
"Signing the pledge" is no new thing,
as is proved by researches in Italy.
Interesting particulars of what would
appear to he the earliest examples Of
written pledges to abstain from gam
bling and excessive drinking are given
In the Turin Studi MEDIEVAL by Signor
Girolam0 Biscaro, who has discovered
three such documents y. the archives
Of Milan. The first of these records is
an oath sworn on the gospels by Gia-
como Pasquali and Armanino Duca
to the effect that for two years they
will abstain from gambling in Pavia
or within three miles thereof and will
likewise refrain from inducing others
to gamble on their behalf. The penal
ty for any breach Of this oath is fixed
at soldi, payable to Papio Bovatorio.
In the second document Perano de
Bono promises Uberto de Proto to
abstain from gambling for a certain
period, exception being made on be-
half Of the game Of bismentiro, ut
which. however, he was not to lose
more than 2 denari on any one day.
Further. he undertakes not to visit
any inn for drinking purposes before
the hour Of vespers on Monday. A
breach of either clause of the pledge
involves the payment Of soldi TO De
Proto. By the third document Sileto
Ferrario expressed his willingness to
pay II de2ari to his brother Lamperio
should he be persuaded to play for
money in any place of public resort or
to spend more than 2 denari on intoxi-
cants in any one day.
The motive for these contracts is not
stated, but 1t is presumed that they
were entered into by employees whose
masters wished to keep their proclivi-
ties in check. There is nothing in the
documents to suggest the existence of
any organization for the promotion of
temperance. The honor Of being first
in the field in this respect therefore
still rests with Germany. where two
temperance societies were founded in
the sixteenth century.
OF these the Order of st. Christie
pher was formed by Sigismund de
Diettrichstein on Jan. IS, 1917. and the
Order Of Temperance by the landgrave
Of Hesse on Dec. %. 1000. The men,
bers Of the one order were pledged to
abstain from toast drinking, and the
members Of the other undertook not
to drink more than seven glasses Of
liquor at time and that NOT Oftener
