Meeting Postponed

State Superintendent of Public In
struction Bray has found it impossible TO
be in Yerington until the 9th, at which
time there will be little entertainment
given him, and the discussion of school
matters taken up. Yerington is the
center of education of Lyon county and
there are many topics for consideration.
In the first place there is not going to
be room enough in our High School be-
fore long; more teachers are going to
be necessary, and IL ere are other mat
ters of importance to discuss in regard to
this branch of our educational system.
Next there is the grammar school and
the primary departments to look after.
The district needs new school house.
-Four teachers will probably be necessary
for this branch after this term.
All these things should be taken up
with the State Superintendent, and his
advice asked i'll regard to obtaining the
needed improvements and assistance.

RED CANYON PROPERTY
MAKING fine SHOWING

as high as 55 per cent lead, from three
quarters to an ounce and a half of gold,
and balance silver This ledge lies be-
tween two walls of white silver quarts.
which also carries some gold.
An ASSAY from some grab samples Mr..
Brainard brought to Yerington with
him gave returns as follows: gold.
sl7.60; silver, $50; lead, s57. % per
ton, or total value of S74 AZ.
The location of the property is an
ideal one for wood and water as the
whole country is we'll timbered and
there are numerous large springs. Mr..
Brainard believes that with depth he
will have large and valuable property.
There is fine chance for other pros
pectors to get into the district, as there
has been little work done and no real
thorough projecting, while there is an
extensive field Of good mineralized
ground to look over.

one of the best sites that could have
been selected, as it will give everybody
who comes to Yerington a chance to see
the building without getting away from
Main street. The work of changing the
ditch, which runs through the lot is
now under way. This ditch will be
taken along the west end of the Barton
lot OH Center street and then come
straight across her lot. just north of the
court house lot, and the water will flow
through the same culvert under Main
street as it does now. The entire length
of the ditch on the court house lot will
be cement lined and free from seepage
Bids for contracts on the building are
now being advertised and by the middle
of June YOU will see dirt flying for the
excavation for the new court house.

A Bad Indian Case

Harry Edwards, deputy L. S. Mar
shal, came out from Carson Thursday
after Piute named Johnny Sam, who
had been arrested few DAYS previous
by the officers of this place. Sam is
under indictment by the U. S. grand
jury for a serious offense. About a year
ago, it is charged that he committed
rape on l5-year-old squaw on the
Walker Lake Reservation, and from a
disease contracted from the assault the
Indian girl finally died The charge is
no less one than murder, and the
Reservation officials are going to prose
cute to the limit. A number of Piutes
have raised fund to be used in defend
ing Johnny Sam, but things are very
liable to go bad with him. He was
taken to Carson by the Marshal Thurs
day afternoon.

Right Use of PoIl-tax Money

There has been considerable discussion
as to where the counties throughout the
State were to get the road fund for the
many improvements that are needed and
proposed. During the session of the
Legislature this matter was given con
siderable attention with the result of the
following law, which is i'll effect this
year:
The new law, approved March p, and
passed by the last Legislature, is as
follows:
From and after the passage OF this
Act all money received from poll-tax col
lcctions shall be by the County Commits
sioners of the various counties set aside
for the exclusive use of the different road
districts of the several counties, accord
ing to the amounts collected in the vari-
ous road districts and all receipts for
poll-taxes shall hereafter be furnished
bv the respective counties instead of the
State Controller, and all polltax re-
ceipts shall be signed by the County
Assessor"
There are close to 1000 people i'll Lyon
county who ought to pay poll-tax. If the
Assessor can collect from 700 of them il
will give the county S2l00 to spend for
road purposes. This will help consid.
erably The money will be apportioned
pro rata to the districts which pay the
tax, which ought to give Yerington a
fair sum to be spent on roads

juice will come directly over this line to

Two thousand volts will be used at the
smelter, and the line will carry enough
to do all the business in this vicinity for
years to come.

The balance of the building will also be
of brick, concrete and steel The speci-

construction that can be had, all material
to be of the highest grade.
This building will be located on the
corner of Main and Grove streets, on the
west side of Main. This is the site
selected by the Board of County Com
