NEVADA CALUMET TO
PURSUE A POLICY OF
BLOCKING OUT
ORE.

Superintendent Stacy has been re-
quested, as soon as possible, to forward
to the home Office in Boston, plans and
estimates of complete new plant. in
order that the work of blocking out ore
below the sulphide zone may be con-
tinued uninterrupted and as speedily as
possible.
Shaft No, l is now down 200 feet.
AS soon as the management can ac-
complish it, this shaft will be continued
to depth of 800 feet. Shaft No. is
down 400 feet and an east and west
crosscut and south drift have been run
from the bottom of it. All the work
ings are in good grade of ore but the
quantity of bornite exposed in the south
drift has greatly stimulated the man
agement.
1t is the impression of our most re-
liable copper men that the Calumet will
soon rank as one of the real mines of
Yerington.

HIGH SCHOOL
OPENS TUESDAY

The old Lam residence, back of the
bank will be used as high school until
of new building, which will
be about the middle of October. School
will open Tuesday, September 7. About
twelve children are enrolled from out
side districts.
There will be two classes, the high
school proper and preparatory class.
The former will consist of those who
have passed the eighth grade i'll full;
the latter for those who have spent the
necessary time in the eighth grade, but
have failed to pass i'll some of its
branches. The preparatory class will
only take up the studies necessary to
qualify pupils for the high school class,
Prof R. c. Bleasdale is much inter
ested in the work of building up the
Yerington high school. He argues that
the opportunities offered the children of
the outside districts are excellent. Not
only will they have every advantage
other schools afford but parents can
rest assured that their children will be
among good influences. Yerington is a
small town filled with good people whose
companionship and example will be up

New England investors who have

One of the strongest points
about an irrigation bond is that it
combines all the best features of a
farm mortgage with those of a

do nothing more than repeat the
opinion which many other people,
East and West, have long held,
and which has been frequently
expressed in these columns.
Mr.. Farson believes that much
capital is going to seek investment
in irrigation projects, now that the
possibilities of intensive farming
and orchardiDg have been demon
straled. II seems TO Us that he is
right. The eastern part OF the
country has been slower than il
should have been in taking up
irrigation securities. In Pennsyl-
vania and the middle west a good
market for them has already been
developed aud bond houses who
have selected their offerings of
such bonds with reasonable care
have yet to report any dissatisfied
customers. The security behind
the bond is ample, and the yield
is very liberal for this precise rea-
sou, that that rush of capital to
irrigation bonds, which will event
ually push the interest return
down to basis in keeping with
the intrinsic merit of the bond,

Money by False Pretenses

A warrant was issued yesterday for
the arrest of G. NJ. Nash, president of

obtaining money by false pretenses.
The complaining witness is C. d.

Estill came to the city to take a
course at the institute, and November

financial difficulties he would have to
close the institute
