High School Notes

Our building is strangely silent
today. Examinations are in prog
ress in all the rooms.
A picture of the ruins of the Col
osseum and statuette were pur-
chased and placed in our assembly
room.
A farewell party was held at the
home of Emilia Read the evening
before her departure. The evening
was spent in playing games and
making taffy.
We forgrt to mention last week
the departure of Miss Emilia Read,
who will spend the winter in Indiana
with her mother and sister. We
regret to lose Miss Read from among
us.
We are indebted to Mr., H. +.
banks who brought several bushels
of apples to the school building last
Thursday afternoon. 1t is needless
to say that the boys and girls from
the Primary room to the High
School enjoyed the treat.
There was some talk of using the
surplus money from the candy sale
to buy bay. window for our ass
sembly room door, but the idea was
abandoned because there was not
sufficient funds to install as hand
some window as we wished.
Gilmore Brown, producing man
ager of the theater company which
played here last week, gave splen-
did talk on Shakespear and read a
few selections from the plays. This
is Mr.. Browns second visit to our
school and he is always accorded a
hearty welcome.
The candy sale Friday was a
grand success, except that there
wasn't candy enough to go around.
The music furnished by the or
chestra was excellent and everything
worked well for a successful after
noon. We wish to thank the pat
rons Of our school who assisted us
by their presence and words of COM
mendation.

GOLD OUTPUT NOW
 STEADILY ON INCREASE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. F. - The director of the mint has made up a table from information collected at the four corners of the earth, which shows that the gold crop of the world for the calendar year 1908 amounted to $551 ,932, 200, an increase of $31, ,397, 900 from the. previous year.
 The gold coinage of the world for 1908 amounted to $327,O1s,2OO, and $7s,2O0,OOO of gold was used in the industrial arts, exclusive of India, from which there are no returns.
 The greatest increase-$15,0 ,000,000 in any country, is reported by Africa. The increase of the United States product was $4,124, 300, and that of Mexico was $3,69O,1OO, while Australasia reports a decrease of $2,- 35O,0OO, from the total of the year 1907.
 Thirty-nine different nations con- tributed to the total gold crop of 1908, and the following are the chief sources of supply:

No other nations produced more than a million. Peru returns $514,- 800, Bolivia $346,3OO and the Argen- tine Republic $161,3OO.
 There has been a rapid increase in the gold harvest of the world. For hundreds of years nearly all of the supply came from Russia and Asia, but in the early '50s the discoveries in California and Australia brought the total from $1O,OOO,OOO up to $780, OOO,0OO a year. In 1886 it fell back to $1O0,000,0O0, because of the decay of placer mining in those states, but the development in South Africa, Alaska, the Canadian-Yukon and Colo rado, and the invention of the cyan ide process, which enabled miners to recover the value of low grade ores, gradually brought is up to the pres ent output, which the experts think is likely to increase until it reaches OO,OOO,OOO a year. It is believed that Alaska, Canadian-Yukon and the Transvaal will be the future sources of supply, while the output in Aus tralia is more likely to decline than to increase. Russia will continue 70 contribute her share, and it will be larger every year as the develop ments are extended. The experts pre- dict a yield of $3OO,OOO,OOO from the placer fields in the Yukon Basin and Seward Peninsula in Alaska, and not less than $1OO,OOO,OOO from the dredging of the old placer fields on the Tuba, American and Bear rivers of California.

FRANK MEADoR
 CALLED BY REAPER
fFrom Thursdays Daily


 Los Angeles papers that reached Prescott yesterday contain the sad news of the death of Frank Meador, in that city, last Saturday.
 The deceased will be favorably re- membered by many who reside here, and regret will follow the announce ment of his death. In the early days he was the stage agent of the Ari- zona and New Mexico company, and also the agent of Wells, Fargo & Co.,, as well as a telegraph operator. He made this city his home for many years and enjoyed an excellent name in citizenship.
 During the Governor Zulick admin istration he was appointed territorial treasurer, removing to Phoenix, the capital. He was the projector of the Highland canal, and at one time was a heavy holder of real estate interests in the Capital City.
 A few years ago he moved to Los Angeles, where he ceased an active business life, owing to ill-health.
 But few known relatives survive him, Mrs. F. W. Blake, a sister, re- siding in California, while a brother is said to be living in Nevada.
 He was born in Winnemucca, in that state, and was about 5 years of age. Bright's disease was the fatal malady.

ROCHESTER, MEN
 MAY BUY PLACERs
From Thursday's Daily)

From Thursdays Daily)
 Three capitalists from Rochester,, \. Y, with their attorney, arrived
 in Prescott a few days ago, and
 here for the purpose of making an
 examination of the big placer min ing interests on Lower Lynx creek, of the estate of the late Thomas G. Barlowe- -Massicks, with view of purchasing.
 Included in the negotiations, is tract of desirable farming land, es- timated to contain 5000 acres, situ- ated in the Point of Rocks, and ex- tending to Lonesome and the Agua Fria valleys, also owned by the above estate. If the deal is consummated it is said to be the purpose of the syndicate to begin the working of the mining ground on an extensive scale and a dredging machine will be the method of operating.
 The capitalists in the city are Dr. NJ. H. Curtis, W. c. Walker and D. J. Rose. Their attorney is N. E. Hutchinson, one of the leading cor poration lawyers of the east. pr. Cur tis is a leading physician of Koch ester, and MT. Walker is a prominent architect of the same city.
 The placer ground which may be taken over is better known as the Old Hydraulics, and in the earlier days when water was abundant, was worked through the hydraulic method. The last successful run was made nearly thirty years ago, during Feb ruary and March, when the yield for short season went to over $20,OOO.
 Since that time short runs were made, but with the flow of water falling off, this course was aband oned. However, the old channel was always proftably mined, and hun dreds of thousands of dollars are to the credit of the project since it was first operated. The late MT. Massicks | the Bucyrus steam shovel, but its frail construction was unser- viceable. An immense water storage 1 dam was constructed up Lynx creek to impound water, but was destroyed | through a cloudburst striking and de- it. Under these unfortunate l conditions of handling the yield, and while Mir. Massieks was contem- plating other methods of handling the ground, he met with an accident, in accidentally shooting himself, that cost him his life. Since that time the property has been inactive, al though known to be rich in placer gold.
 Associated with the arrival of the above capitalists, several engineers have reported favorably upon the project, hence the investigation that is to be made personally by the above people. But before the deal is finally closed, George B. Good, superintend- ent of the Fortuna mine, near Phoe- nix, will make an expert examina- tion of the ground. He is expected to reach Prescott this week.
 Attorney Hutchinson will remain in the city for several days, looking up the records and ascertaining the val idity of the title.
 The Massicks estate is in the course of probating in this county and Rev. Father Alfred Quetu, the admins trator of the estate, resides at San Juan Capistrano, Cal
