SNOWFLAKE STAKE
ACADEMY NOTES

The first Monday morning was
occupied with a Student Body
program. The program was
well arranged and the officers of
the body should be complimented
upon their work. Some Of the
numbers that were especially in
teresting and also educational
were the lecture by DR.. Smith
upon individuality and Christ
mas story by Miss Clara Hansen:
In his talk DR.. Smith compared
the lives of General Grant and
Huerta, and in a striking and
vivid manner brought out the
differences in these two individ-
uals. He then took up some OF
the underlying factors that have
produced these two very differ
ent results, thus bringing the
examples home to the students.
The story of a star by Miss Han
sen was much enjoyed by all and
showed the good of a joyful
Christmas spirit. Mr.. Wilhelm's
''Kimona" was much appreciated
by all those who were present.
Everyone, however, was disap-
pointed because dad" didn't
get his cut out too. The musical
numbers, as usual, were very
good.
The program was as follows:
Duet-Horace and John Gran
dell.
Recitation-Lee Wilhelm.
Orchestra.
Lecture-Dr. Smith.
Story of a Star Miss Clara
Hansen.
Solo Vocal -Silas Bushman.
The students and teachers
both were sorry to learn that
their principal was unable to be
at school on account of Illness.
He was, however, able to return
for Thursday. Professor Peter
sons classes continued on during
his absence thus lowering the
loss to the school due to his ab-
sence. We hope that he will not
be called from school again for a
like cause.
The Opera people are as busy
as people can get without caus-
ing fire through friction of the
air. There's no doubt of the
outcome either. Next Monday
and Tuesday nights are to be
occupied by giving the people Of
Snowflake some of the best en-
tertainment to be had outside of
large cities. Students, in COM
pairing the price Of this high
class entertainment with these
travelling shows that are aiming
at the red cents, also compare
work attached to the rendering
of each and the benefits derived
from each. You might also find
out how much these travelling
companies do to help home tai
ent, or home schools or our home
town.
This week is not only going to
be the last, the best and greatest
week in this year. but it is also
going to be the longest. This
week the school is not going to
stop for Saturday. The object
of this Saturday school is to
lengthen out the vacation The
vacation as now planned will be
from the 23rd until the 5th in
stead of from the 10Th to the
29th. The arrangement as it
now is will give the out of town
students both Christmas and
New Years Day at home.
Everyone is busy preparing
for the examination, students
for the questions and teachers
the questions. But with no one
is this coming event viewed with
dread. Nor should it be, because
all the teachers appreciate the
difficulties of the students in an
examination and the ratings of
the student only in small de-
gree depends upon his test paper.

Salt Lake; that he believed the mines
at Hamilton had the necessary tonnage.
and that shipments under the proposed
arrangements would be commenced in a
very short time after the Hamilton mine
owners had taken action. Except to
state that he believed Hamilton would
sign up with necessary tonnage. Mr.
Dye stated he did not care to 60 into
further details at this time.
1t is learned from another source that
under the proposed new reduced rates
for ore shipments u of Eureka, all ore
is to be shipped in broad gauge carload
lots of minimum weight. and in bulk.
Ore shoots are to be erected in Eureka
that will permit of the auto trucks IN
loading by dumping into the bins that
will be built along the railroad tracks,
so hat all transfer charges will be
greatly reduced, Also. and the most
important item to the producers of this
camp. it Is stated that all ores shipped
in bulk. regardless of value. will take
the one, and only one, low fiat rate.
II the projected plans for carrying
this low ate on bulk ore shipments
from Eureka to the smelters is success
fully put in operation. it means beyond
doubt that Eureka and all tributary
mining sections will take on a new life
and ''come back" into some of their
former prosperous times.
From what can be learned of the
plans, the SENTINEL believes the project
has more than a fair chance of being
successfully carried through, but with
out definite knowledge or facts on which
to base an opinion, must, with many
other well wishers. await developments.

Hamilton News Notes

Last Wednesday morning the .Jnst;ea
here was informed of the death of an old
Indian named Waterworks George.
other wise known as Mormon George.
He arose, took some breakfast, had a
fainting ft and passed away. He leaves
a widow. Indian George was an his
toric figure here. He was the brother of
Napias Jim, the discoverer of the rich
Hidden Treasure mine on Treasure Hill.
and the first one to find ore on the Hill.
George was older than Napias Jim. The
ore was shown to a white man named
Bill feathers and he promised the In
dian $3.50 in money and two saddle
horses, one for himself and one for his
sequaw. IL he would show him where
this ore was found. The Indian did SO
and on November IS, 1867, the Hidden
Treasure was located and later sold by
Bill feathers for $l70. 900. To the shame
of the white man. he did not pay the
Indian a cent, nor give him the horses.
The snow here is fast thawing away
and the weather is fine. 1t looks as II
Spring had arrived. 1t is early for this
camp, and we hope that the fine weather
will continue 80 the assured activity of
this camp may commence early. Great
activity is hoped for when Spring really
opens.
Otto Simonsen and Baptista Minoletti
were visitors here this week. We are in
formed that they came to make arrange
ments to trap horses in this section dur
ing the Spring. R. A. DEAN.

Sen. Sweeney Explains Vote

Senator Sweeney, who is spending q
few days in Carson on land matters be-
fore returning to his home at Eureka,
wants to be put right on the Brief bill
vote in the Senate. The Senator was
in favor Of the Brief bill first. last and
all the time. When the vote was taken
he declared that he voted yes but was
marked as voting no. He did not know
that his vote was so chronicled until
after the newspapers had taken the
matter up and it was too late to change
the roll call.
In explaining his vote he states en-
phatically that he had personal reasons
for casting his vote yes, and that it
could never have been changed under
any circumstances. Several members
declare that the Senator voted yes and
was marked wrong. One member here
at present declares with Senator
Sweeney that he did vote yes. The
comments have worried the Senator and
he feels doubly injured, as he was APP
preached on the subject aud said that
he was with the printers all the time.
While it is a matter of past history,
Senator Sweeney has fright to be placed

A recent issue of the SENTINEL stated
that a movement was on foot to secure
greatly reduced rates on ores from Eu-
reka to the Salt Lake smelters which
would prove of great benefit to this and
other sections that could ship their ores
via Eureka. The SENTINEL was also
requested not to exploit the matter I'M
til the project was further under way
and some definite action taken. The
Ely Record obtained the information
regarding the plans of handling ore
shipments from Hamilton from one Of
the mine owners of that camp. and we
understand the facts obtained are about
correct.
When shown the above article from
the Record, S. G. Dye, manager OF the
Eureka Supply Company, stated d a
his company had made the proposition
to the mine owners of Hamilton to ship
their ores through to the Salt Lake
shelters for the amount stated. pro-
yided sufficient tonnage was signed
up to justify the purchase oil auto

Benefit Ball Social Success

The Novelty ball given in the Eureka
Opera House Friday evening by the
Eureka Public School for the benefit of
the School Library was well attended
by both old and young. The hall pre-
sented an attractive appearance in the
colors Of red and green, and the many
school banners that completed the decor
atoms brought { o mind the school day
life of many of those in attendance.
Suspended across the stage ON large red
banners was the word Eureka-sug-
gestive of our public school and the
knowledge that is found in it.
At 10 O'Clock floor director r. A
Laird called a grand march. inviting
all present to fall in line. During
the evolutions of the march, Miss
Christy Fulton and Mrs. Mildred De-
Sautels, two of the teachers, presented
each guest with a bon bon which they
were asked to open and wear during the
evening. The novelty head wear occa.
stoned much merriment and comment.
A card was attached to each bon bon,
bearing a message or a prediction of the
future for each recipient.
The Base Range Orchestra of four
pieces furnished the music and dapcing
continued until 4 a. M, all present ao-
claiming the Novelty ball a most en-.
joyable social event.

TODAY FIRST OF
FREE FERRY DAYS
People Can Come to Cairo to Do
Shopping Free of Charge on
Local Ferry Boat.

Today is the first of the Gree
ferry days to be conducted by the
Retail Merchants association, and
while it is expected quite a few ont
of town people will take advantage
of coming to Cairo on the ferryboat
City of Cairo, free of charge the
crowd may be a disappointment to
some.
This for the reason that the pub
licity end of the move. for the first
day, was not effective as had been
planned. There was some misunder-
standing about the distribution of
several thousand dodgers that were
printed, and they were not spread
over as wide a range of territory as
had been suggested.
However next week this feature
will be better taken care of and the
free ferry will doubtless attract
many strangers to Cairo each Thurs
day from then on.
