IVES SA DERARIMEMT
IA DIVISION IN MESA ION scHOOlAOUsE LOCATION
The Subject of Mass Meeting on
 Saturday Night.

Several of the citizens of the Gem which was held on Saturday night in the Mesa opera house for the pnr- pos,. uf deciding as to whether th- new proposed school building, which th. grammar school board is planning tn erect. should be put np an south Park which is city property. and which it is the desire uf this board tn lease for the term "f ninety-nine years.
 There were several good and strong arguments both for and against this proposition. When the matter was put to vote. however, II was decided, al least as far as the sense 0f those present at this meeting, that the city would not lease any more property. The opinion against is was that II was not known how soon this district would be divided m. and the building of another school made necessary that th- country is being settled up $" rap idly and the district constantly spread ing out to such an extent. and that other school buildings would have to be established al more convenient To- cations for the children, as this school dlStrlCt IS now bpuluru DN tHc To1u which front the Mesa cemetery on the north. Cuber street on the west. the base line on the south, and on the east there is no set boundary al pres ent.
 With this fact in view. it will be seen that there is no saying how soon other school buildings will be necessi- tated. Other objections were raised to the giving of any more city property on the ground, that what the city pos sessed al present. was necessary for parks and other public places. One of the arguments advanced in favor Of the proposed movement was the cen- tralization oT the schools in order that they could be more easily superintend- ed. and be also under the direct super vision of the superintendent of the Mesa public schools without his hay ing to travel greater distance in or der to reach them.

MESA SIX. EVANS SCHOOL FOUR.

one of the most interesting games of ball that has been played in this sec ton of the valley for some time was that of Saturday between the Mesa Union high school and the boys from Rancho BonitO. The game up to the eighth inning stood to and eight more innings were played before a score was made by either side. In the sixteenth however the high school boys made two tallies. The game was not without errors but il so happened that none of these were responsible for the making or for the losing of q score by either side

Several car loads of pipe that have been on the ground here for several months are now being prepared and in short time the line connecting the two towns will be completed.

THE NORMAL EXPECTS ID
 WIN THE TROPHY
Has Good Reason for Believing 1t Will
 Come Out in the Lead.

As the end of the league series of baseball games for the cup offered by The Republican draws to a close. in tereSt grows more pronounced, and there K much speculation as to the ul- innate outcome-which team of the leasue will take the trophy The Nor mdl still has good reason for believing that II stands an excellent show. This belief k much greater now. after the splendid victory of Saturday over the Indian school team. The Normal now has left but two games in the series, one with the local high school and the last with the Mesa high school It is conceded that the game with the Tempe high will fall tO the Normal. unless something decidedly unexpected should happen. This game takes place next Saturday. It is then left for the Normal to defeat the Mesa team. In view of the fact that this team and the Evans team played a game Sat urday about doub'e the usual number of innings and the Mesa team was un- able to score but four runs. the out look is still brighter for the Normal
 IL has defeated Evans twice this year l. the Normal wins from Mesa. then the two teams are just tied and an other game will be necessary But il it can win once. the chances are that it will win again. On the other hand however. if the Mesa team should lose either of it's next two games and in turn be defeated by the Normal, il iS then all off with Mesa, and the cup falls to the Normal. Al any late. the outlook from a normal standpoint is exceptionally gratifying and there is every indication that from the stand point of the fans. the next couple of games will be the most hOtly contested and most interesting of the series

High School Football Squad
Defeats Tower Indians

In much one-sided contest the
High School football team of this
city defeated the Tower Indian
team at the Athletic Park Saturday
afternoon by the decisive score of
40 to O.
The Tower boys showed much
lack of practice and knowledge of
the points that go to make up the
game and at no time did they in
wade Ely's territory with any plays
that looked dangerously near a
score. Some first class material
however is included in the Tower
team and no doubt they will be
heard from later in the season.
The Ely team played a snappy
and swift game and at no time was
their goal in danger. Nine touch
downs and four goal kicks was the
result of the game. In the last
half several subs" were put in
but no difference in the result of
the play was noticeable.
Tomorrow the High School team
goes to Biwabik where they will
attempt to take fall out of the
school team of that city. Our boys
have won every game played so far
this season with a clean score and
are well on their way towards
cinching the range school cham
pionship.

Arrangements Making and Work Done Speak
for Excellent Season,

the Lucky Boy property just south
of the city limits has not yet begun
The drills on this property have
shown up nice deposit of ore.
The White Iron Lake Iron
M lining Company is one of the
most active propositions on the
Vermilion range at present. The
company is doing excellent work
on their property on section 2, o.,
IL near this city under the manag-
ment of Supt. F. c. Platt. Mr..
Plat is a graduate of the Hough-
ton school of mines and has had
much experience in the Republic,
Mich. district. The 1870 foot shaft
has been unwatered and is being
sunk further. A drift will be run
shortly to tap the, main ore body
shown by the diamond drill. A
considerable crew is at present be-
ing employed. President Labrec
of the company says that there will
be ore hoisted this winter and that
shipments will be made next season.
The company is also drilling on
the LaChance claim adjourning the

results.

the Chandler mine daily. Capt.
Frank Kent is opening up the mine
for future mining and says that by
next spring a daily hoist of 500
tons can be accomplished. The
ore at present coming up is mined
in the developing process, every
drift being in ore. One drift just
completed is 120 feet in clean ore.
Diamond drills are busily buzz
ing on almost every known pros
pect on the Vermilion range.
Many of them are working in ore
of various grades. This range is
attracting an immense amount of
comment and notice in the outside
world.
John Long, 0. w. Erickson, J..
