The Mining Outlook

Looking ahead for q reasonable length
of time shows u rather satisfactory out.
look. There are some that are grumb.
ling because of the inactivity of the
mining markets, hut then these are
summer months and rs long as there
are reactions and counter reactions,
just enough to keep trading life in the
stocks, it ought to be satisfactory to any
one holding the high.clasS holdings.
The copper market is in good shape
and quotations are probably as low nov
for that metal as they are likely to be
for many months to come. This can be
stated positively, notwithstanding the
large output. People often forget that
large outputs of copper are only as large
as some people make them appear.
One also forgets that if production was
now below what was being used in the
trades, it would be a signal for a boom
and Il big one. Hence normal copper
markets always show a larger produc-
ton than consumption. In between
vacillates the question Of accumulation.
This feature has been decreasing for
several months and Is in 10 wise likely
to increase for some time.
Silver is steady and with the large
Cobalt output out of the way n 10,ccnt
advance would probably develop in
twenty-four hours so here again tenn.
porary congestion is not increasing the
load
1t is II question to have just enough
of Il thing and il is another to bc just
u little short Of it. To have less metal
than is necessary to meet the demands
of trade, means Il bidding by everyone
to get what there is. with tho result
that II boom develops. Ordinary mar.
kets represent conditions pretty well as
they are ut the present time, so the ont.
look shows white lights.--Ncw York

Beaten and Robbed

Saturday William Burns, u hay man
from South Fork. came into town with
a few dollars and proceeded to spend it
at the saloons. He fell in with two
men and run with them until late
Sunday night when they concluded to
take what money Burns had left and
spend it themselves. When the three
were in front of the Elko hotel, Burns
was knocked down with a club or some
other weapon and badly beaten about
the head and back. When he came I
himself, his money, 50 in gold and
knife were missing. The robbery was
reported to the sherif's office and
Monday morning Deputy Sheriff Hardin
arrested Eugene Cooper for the crime.
Burns was so badly injured that he
was taken to the county hospital.
Cooper was taken before Burns yester-
day and positively identified rs IL of
the men who robbed him. The officers
have n very meagre description of the
other man and his capture is doubtful.
Cooper is 4 dope hend. One report is
that he borrowed 81 of Burns to buy
dope with and Burns demanded the
change back. \ quarrel resulted and
Burns was beaten and robbed. This is
not the first time Cooper has been in
trouble here. He stabbed another fiend
a few years ago. Last evening he plead
not guilty to the complaint filed by
District Attorney Taber and his ex-
animation was continued until Burns
is able to appear.

Tx Special School El.e,iou

The citizens of Elko who favor the
issuance of $40, 900 additional bonds for
the completion of the new schoolhouse
and the maintenance of the school
should be on the alert or the proposition
may be defeated ut the polls.
We understand that opposition to
the bond issue is %springing mp on the
ground that the trustees first asked for
SEQ, 900 which was voted and increased
the amount to $40. 600 on the first cleo,
ton proving invalid. 1t is claimed that
the $50, 900 voted ut the second election
is all the trustees asked for and they
should not go over that amount in build
sng and equipping the new school
house.
As u general principal the writer is
opposed to boards of trustees or other
boards that handle the peoples money
for building purposes exceeding the
amount voted for such purpose. This
is his creed and one that he insisted
should be followed by the regents of
the state university when a member OF
that board.
But the trustees of this school district
have n serious crisis to face. After a
thorough study of the conditions in
Elko. they selected a plan for Il school
building that will meet the wants OF
the district for many years to come.
They advertised for bids and it was
then seen that the building could not be
built and equipped within the amount
the people had voted.
On learning this, the trustees had one
of two courses to follow. One was to
get new plans and delay the building of
the new schOolhouse indefinitely and
the other was TO ask for an additional
amount to complete and furnish the
building according to the selected plan.
On the advice of n number of heavy
property owners, the trustees chose the
latter course. In this we believe they
acted wisely.
For years the people have clamOred
for n new schoolhouse. Delay after de-
lay has occurred and the children of the
district have been deprived of school
facilities that were theirs by right. The
children are helpless in this matter
and their appeal for better facilities
to obtain an education should not 20
unheeded because the board Of trustees
are compelled To ask for money, with
which to erect and equip n school build,
ing that will be a credit to the district.
The writer has no children to educate,
therefore he a not be accused of hay
ing any personal interest in the new
school house. But he believes in giving
the boys and girls Of Elko the very best
facilities for obtaining al education. As
u taxpayer he urges every friend of the
childle ell to turn ont mt the election On
the 10th Of this month and cast his
ballot for the issuance of the bonds
asked for by the trustees.
