Book mending and rebinding will be
included a course of talks to the ad-
ministration of the small library

dren, the school and clubs. The in
struction will be. given in the form

library class are being printed.

OVER 100000 VETERANS
Ask For Increased Pensions. Many
Expected to File Papers Under New
Sl.O0 Day Law.

Despite the fact that more than 100
veterans of the Civil war die each day,
an increased force of clerks will be
needed at the pension Office to handle
the increase in pension rates provided
by the new pension act, passed two
weeks ago. Already 100000 applica-
tons have been received and before
the rush is ended it is expected that
the number will reach the 100000
mark. The pension bill is very exact
in its requirements and rates, neces-
stating a great deal of research work
among the old files, establishing the
exact number of years, months. and
even days, which the applicant serve
in the army, says the Washington
Post
The new pension bill has provided
stipulated rates for pensioners, rank
not TO be considered, for the years,
months and days. Age of the appli-
cant is also taken into consideration
The act includes any person who serV-
ed during the Civil war or in the war
with Mexico. A separate clause pro
viding a pension of $50 a month for
all who are unfit and incapacitated for
manual labor is also included.
A veteran of the Mexican, Civil Or
Spanish wars may file his claim for an
increased pension at any time. The
increase in his pension commences the
day that his application is received at
the pension Office. Thus, as soon as
applications are received from the
mails, a special force of clerks must
stamp the date and time received on
them They are then taken to another
force of clerks, where the records of
the applicant are taken from the files
and examined.
The date of his enlistment and the
date Of his mastering out are noted
on a card index. The length of service
is computed. All furlough, sick leave,
and absence by desertion are comput-
ed, and the number of days away from
actual service are taken from his time.
This done his age is noted. Then by
reading the table provided for by the
recent act of Congress, the pension Of
fee knows just, what he should receive
each month.
The pension office has Is branch
agencies. Every veteran drawing a
pension is under one of these agencies.
He receives a voucher stating how
much is due him. He signs this under
oath administered usually by post
office official, and returns it to the
agency. A check for the amount of
his pension is then sent to him. Each
office pays every three months.
The schedules or rates under the
new law and the rules of the pension
office are given in the table below:

one OF The
PRIZES TONOPAH
HAS LOST
EVERY EVIDENCE THAT NEW
CAMP OF ANTELOPE WILL
MAKE GOOD.

From sources that can be relied
upon without question. the Bonan-
"a learns that there is now every
indication that Antelope, in Nye
county, Is going to make good as
a probably prominent producer. OF
the eighteen or twenty leasing out
fits that are at work, four of them
are now in ore that will stand the
expense of shipping and treating
and yield a handsome profit to the
leasers The Jordan property, on
which the first strike OF note was
made in the district, is getting out
its second ear of ore and will ship
in few days. The first consign-
ment sent out from this property,
a fifty-ton carload, sampled $244
gross. but the material now being
extracted from the mines workings
at depth of fifty feet is expected
to go considerably higher, possibly
reaching the $500 mark.
In trade and traffic Goldfield is
reaping many benefits from the
new camp and an auto and stage
line. besides a freight outfit, are
Operating between the two places
The new camp now has a popula.
ton of about 200, and this number
is being added to every day
