County Normal
School Opened

White Pine county has at last sue
ceeded in getting a normal school
started and in running order. I'm
usual difficulties seem to have been
met with from the first by those In
charge, but by persistent effort and
strong determination to succeed the
school is now well along on the way
towards permanency and its pro-
gress will now depend largely upon
the interest that is shown by those
who desire to become teachers.
The enrolment now consists of
seven young ladies from several parts
of White Pine and Eureka counties,
and ii is expected that this number
will soon be increased by five or six
more.
The course OF study of Minnesota
has been adopted in a modified form,
and Will be changed according to the
needs of the schools of this state as
soon as permanent organization
can be affected At present the
course of study calls for 900 hours of
recitation work, $50 of which will be
devoted to theory and practice of
teaching.
A. b. Lightfoot who has been
largely instrumental in securing the
normal for White Pine county de-
cided not 10 delay the opening any
longer, and was on hand last Mon
day morning ready TO commence
work. Until the regular teacher ar
riyes. Mr.. Lightfoot will continue to
conduct the school under the au-
thority of the state board of educa-
tion.
This Is the first county normal
school to be opened in Nevada, and
the showing that has been made since
II commenced warrants the belief
that IL will develop into one of the
most servicable institutions of learn
ing in the county. IL will prepare
several young people for lucrative
positions this year, and will probab-
ly develop into a much more largely
attended school next year.

possibilities are sufficiently alluring,

ground.
Carroll is rapidly assuming the ap-
pearance of mining camp. A hotel,
rooming house and several saloons
are in the field, and are getting the
business. Wood is plentiful and
never has a new mining district in
the state been so favored with res

TO BENEFIT ELY

deposit of potash of commercial
value in this state would be OF para
mont importance. compared with the
construction of a new railroad, Vic

ters. superintendent of the same cor
poration. and II. II. Miller, a min
ing man, arrived Wednesday after

yada Copper company. which is cap
able of driving a hole to depth Of
100 feet. The drhl will be used in
prospecting the potash beds in Rail-
road Valley.
Mr.. Barndt states that If his
company is successful In discovering
a potash deposit in Railroad Valley,
the question of the construction of
the Ely and Goldheld railroad would
be definitely determined, as capital
lists would readily furnish the sinews
of war to build a road 500 miles in
length to reach a commercial bed Of
potash.
THE development of the saline
lands in Railroad Valley is of the
utmost importance to the residents
OF this district" said Mr.. Barndt,
because they are closer to Ely than
any other railroad point
AS there is only one known de-
posit of potash in the world, the
government is assisting prospectors
in exploring an old lake bed in
Churchill county for the first time In
its history, and conditions are very
favorable for the finding of an ex-
tensive deposit Our company has
had offers from several of the largest
fertilizer companies in the United
States. who are anxious 10 secure
the properties. and provide the neees-
sary funds TO thoroughly prospect
the estate. IT, importance of find
ing q commercial grade Of potash In
Railroad Valley is realized. when II
is stated thai there is only one
known deposit in the world"
The Railroad Valley Saline COM
pany was organized by prominent
stockholders In the Tonopah and
Belmont Mining companies, and has
disbursed in the neighborhood OF
$4,000 In acquiring valid title to
three miles of potash lands. Plans
are under way for the consolida-
tion of five more miles of territory
controlled by other interests.
