ions are one and the same, for We
both looked upon the same ore
bodies and both saw the present
development in both properties. =
Chris Zabriskie and Ben Edwards
are pioneers of Tonopah, and are
well acquainted with the early de-
yelopment of Tonopah and its pres
ent mining conditions today. They
are stockholders in most all of the
producing mines of this district
These two pioneers have been the
main spring in the development of
the West End mine. 1t is true, F.
NJ. ("Borax") Smith is the principal
stakeholder, but by his confidence
in these two gentlemen, he left the
management in their hands, and
their work has been well done.
This afternoon Mr. Edwards and
Mr.. Zabriskie, accompanied by SUI
perintendent II. S. Brady and Mr.

the Wild Rose mine near Cerro

IMPRESSION AND IDEAS
OF PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM

advantage. The new high school
building should contain sufficient
room for at least 20 or 80 pupils
following the different courses. This
building should include an auditor
ium. laboratory, library and recita-
ton rooms.
What you need now is that
change that shows the development
from a rural to a city school The
time is at hand for kindergartens,
domestic science for the grades, sew
ing and cooking for the girls and
works for the boys, and for special
instruction in drawing and music.
This means, at least, four more
teachers for the grades. This is
positive outcome of growth such
as Tonopah is now experiencing.
Other cities are offering these edu-
cational advantages, and other small
towns are striving to gain sufficient
registration, in their school, to iusti
f. this advancement.
Such an educational system
needs head-and just such man
as you now have. The question up
permost in my mind however, is,
Can he prepare for and conduct six
or seven recitations every school
day i'm the high school, and, at the
same time, supervise the grades
know the existing conditions and
character of the work being done
in each grade, and give to each
teacher the required assistance?
How can It be possible to have or
ganization and unity in your school
Under such condition?
You have most excellent corps
of teachers, each we'll fitted for her
position, and equal any that even
the larger cities have Tonopah,
with such conscientious teachers,
and with at least five more Just
like them, and suitable buildings,
shall have reached the ideal Of
what the educational system Of any
thriving city should be.
In the coming election on bonds
for a new high school building.
ronopah, | am sure, will step to
the front in educational affairs Of

been the case except for the misdi-
rection as to the location of the
blaze II is an understood and
agreed rule between the two de-
partments that the paid department
shall have right-of-way on fire
lplugs, in order that the fire wagon
may be quickly unloaded and ready
for further and immediate use for
bringing additional equipment to
the scene. At the fire in question,
Chief Murphy of the volunteers, CO.
operated with the paid department

bers of the volunteers, and If there
was any clash we know nothing of
it. The paid department realizes its
dependence upon the assistance of
the volunteers and the value of
their help, and endeavors in every
way to cooperate with them.
The main matter suggested in
the article in question is the neees-
sity of a fire alarm system for
Tonopah. We agree that one
should be established, as time is
often lost in reaching the scene
of fire owing to mistaken direc-
tions as to its location As to the
present fire bell. we believe the
sees fit to question it, that mo-
r more than 20 seconds has, during
the present regime in the paid de
: partment elapsed between the re
| ceipt of alarm at the fire house
: and the ringing of the fire alarm
bell; and in no instance has there
been a case where the time of The

MISCELLANEOUS.

The editor of the Bonanza re-
quested Deputy Superintendent of
Public instruction B. G. Bleasdale
to write his impression and ideas
of the present public school sys-
tenn and its betterment in Tono-
pah, when he was here few days
ago, visiting the schools. We pub
fish his letter in full. that our citi-
zens may read and benefit:
You have asked me for a criti-
cism of your school system, and
for some suggestions for improve
ment.
Your little city is one of the
most active mining camps in the
west Your people are from every
where, and your school children
comprise every class. You can not
cater to the son of the doctor or
the lawyer, who intends to follow
in the footsteps of his father;
neither can you ignore him and
give the education that would fit
all to be civil and mining engi-
neers.
II noticed on your streets, dur
ing school hours, many boys and
girls of high schol age. The tru-
ancy law can not touch these young
people, so the high school must

and typewriting with actual prae-
tice on school machines. to further
fit Rim for the business world. The
usefulness Of the high school, in
its great mission as stepping
