WEST SIDE DEFEATS CARROLL.

The West Side basketball team de.
feated the Carroll high school team at
Carroll last Saturday taking the long
end of a twenty-eight to four score.
The game was holly contested from
start to finish, and the frequent bril-
liant work of individual players kept
the enthusiasm of the spectators at a
high pitch. The Carroll team out
classed the West Side boys in weight,
but the West Side boys were superior
in team work and knowledge of the
game. Dobler and Evans starred for
West Side, the latter making several
goals of the wizard" variety. Kelly
and Hodges did especially fine work
for Carroll. The following is the line
up:

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL
PROSPECTS ARE FRIGHTENING

WASHINGTON, Sep. s-Representatve James T. Lloyd of Missouri. who
as chairman If the National Democratic Congressional committee is winning

beeanse of the substantial character of the aid he is giving them in their
carnations believes that the next house will ave a safe Democratic majority.
At the same time Me-. Lloyd is urging candidates md Democratic work
es to put forth every bit of energy they are capable of, n the theory hat
it neve pay to take chances.
Hinder te management of Chairman Lloyd, the Democratic National Con-
eressional committee is perhaps making a more painstaking and vigorous cam
naion than has been made in any previous congressional election. Mr.. Lloyd
IS ersona in touch with conditions in every congressional district in the
Inted States in which there is any sorto # "a close fight i. He hs ben o
the oround in a large number of districts, having covered the country from
Washington to California and back to Maine, this in order that he might
see for himself lust how the land lays. Mr.. Lloyd believes The Democratic
maioritv viii be anywhere from 25 to so, and may possibly go higher.
"With eeh passing day. - said Chairman Lloyd to the writer, Demo
cratic prospects brighten. One reason for this is that with each passing day
the differences between the insurgents and regular Republicans are growing
more ireconciable. You will remember it was claimed al the adjournment
of congress by tn regular Republicans, that the insurgent movement had t
disappear and that insurgency would SOC be a thing of the past Sui these
PROPHETS were nt fully advised as to the temper of the American people N II
is now too late to retractt the many harsh things which have been uttered
against insurgency. -.
.The people are plainly dissatisfied. A blind man could understand tn

an account fr their past misdeeds, especially for having still further IN
creased thu cost If living by revising the taf upward.
Thousands and thousands of insurgent Republicans VIII assist the Demo
candidates, realizing only too well that the AldnchCannon cement a

DISCARDED ORE MAY
YIELD A FORTUNE

From the Colorado School Of Mines
c. M. Over, veteran operator Of Good
Springs, Nevada district, has received
encouragement to exploit the deposits
of uranium ore found in his Big Spread
mine. Every sample of ore sent to the
school of mines, the professor of metal
lurgy reported, contained carnotite a
combination of uranium and ~vanadium,
in form and quantity which indicated
that it should make a commercial pro-
duet. Mr.. Over intends to send to the
mill at Newmeyer, Colorado, the only
plant in the west equipped to treat
uranium ore, a trial shipment to de-
termine just what can be done with it.
The ore containing uranium, or car
notite is found in a ten-foot vein in
the Big Spread property which Mr..
Over has been prospecting as a cop
per property. The mass of the vein
material appears to be largely the ore
which contains uranium. 1t carries
some copper and that is what the
miners have been saving the uranium
ore having been thrown over the
dump. In prospecting the vein 100
feet on its strike $50 sacks of the high
grade ore have been saved.
Mr.. Overs attention was attracted
to the ore going over the dump by
indications of what he believed was
chloride of silver. Assays failed to
disclose silver values, however, and
then he had the ore tested for the
rare metal, with results which may
mean the opening of a rich mine Of a
kind other than that he was searching
for.
His experience leads Mr.. Over to
believe that states like Nevada and
Utah where many of the rare miner
ais are known to occur should offer
special inducements for their discov-
cry and development. Few expert
miners even are able to recognize the
presence of the rare minerals upon
sight; they are usually searching for
the more common metals anyway, and
it is likely that many possible val
liable discoveries are overlooked.
Thomas +. Walsh contributed to
the Colorado school of mines a fund
of $4,000 to be used in encouraging
increased production of uranium ores,
and it is said to be bearing fruit.

The Goldfeld public schools were
opened Tuesday for the fall term. The
enrolment compares vLry favorably
with that of the preceding year, but as
vet it is incomplete and no definite
figures can be given. The kindergarten
class is quite large and is rapidly being
organized. The figures on the eighth
grade cannot be given as Miss Cecelia

The schools at present are more NICE
" adjusted than ever before. Prof.
Mckay and his corps of teachers ex-
press great appreciation of the manner
in which the parents of children have
accepted the transfers of children from
one school to another. This has been

A shipment was made only a few
DAVIS ago from the Gold Crown prop
srty. in the same district and which
Mr.. Everett is also operating. The
consignment was mostly as an ex-
periment and the returns were very
favorable, the ore going $74 in silver
and gold. The tonnage was extracted
from a vein 120 feet in width at a
depth of 200 feet. AS more depth is
Gained the entire width will prove to
be of a high grade value. Already there
is 500, 900 worth of ore in sight carrying
milling values, but Mr.. Everett is de-
srous of securing a greater tonnage be-
fore contemplating the installation of a
mill. The district has a large supply OF
wood, while water is to be had in
abundance. In fact, a pump is used to
keep the shaft in working condition.

MODERN BOYS AND GIRLS
ENJOY MANY ADVANTAGES
(HonorabIe Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One way in which American boys
and girls may become useful to their
country, and which / consider very
important, is that they make the best
use of their opportunities and do their
duty every day the best they can; for
it is said that 1t is by the past that
the future is governed.
If, for instance, boy who is going
to school does not faithfully study his
lessons which are daily assigned TO
him he vii undoubtedly fail at the end
of the year And If he continues this
carelessness and unfaithfulness in his
studies during his boyhood, his life will
finally result in a failure.
Boys and girls go to school for the
purpose of learning something that
they may become good citizens, and If
they make the best of it today. they
will certainly some day in the future
become useful to their country.
Some may say that Washington did
not have much schooling, and yet he
held a very prominent place among his
fellow men. Yes; but did he have the
opportunity that the American boy and
girl have today? Do We not know that
he always honestly and faithfully did
the duty that was before him? If he
had not done this, letting the golden
hours of the days simply pass away as
if they were worth nothing, We are as
sured that he would not have been so
great a man.
So it is with every modern American
girl or boy. He who makes the best
of life, and does il honestly and faith
fully, will some day become as useful
to his country as did George Washing
ton. CLAUDINA PESQUEIRA.

trained this way make good citizens
Then if they would help other Amer
lean boys and girls to do right and do
good to their country, their country
would think much of them.
George Washington was noble man,
not only to this country, but to the
boys and girls of that day. He was
kind and gentle, living in the fear of
the Lord.
If the boys and birls of today would
only follow his example they would
be better in every way.

ADVOCATES FOREST LAWS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Great problems concerning our ma
tural resources are confronting the ma
tion today and the modern American
boys and girls can all help to solve
these problems.
Our forests are rapidly going to
waste from fire and axes. Lately,
schools of forest culture have been
organized and many people have be-
come very much interested in them.
1t is not right for private individ-
uals to chop down great forests such
as the big trees of California that have
taken many centuriesf to grow. II
person should save just one of these
wonderful big trees he would be do
ing a great deal of public good.
Our rivers are another important
thing which ought to be protected.
The swift rivers in the Sierra Neyadas
will some day furnish electric power
for the cities in the valley. If the
trees ON the mountain side are chopped
down the rivers will be ruined. In
the summer they will dry up~and
there willa be nothing but the glaring
sand of the river beds, while during
the spring months the water would
come down in great volumes from the
melting snow and cause floods.
Our coal beds should also be pro-
tected, as they are scarce. These are
the greatest problems that are before
the Americans now. If we help to
preserve our natural resources we will
be as helpful to our country as George
Washington. ARTHUR MOBILES,
