ART FOR THE YERINGTON
SCHOOLS.
Pictures Will be Chosen for the Walls
of Our Public Schools.

An exhibition OF pictures will be
held in the pubic school building from
OCTOBER to Is. inclusive. This eX-
hibition of pictures is one of more
than ordinary interest 1t consists of
carbon photographs and engravings,
loaned by A. w. Elson & Co, OF Bos-
ton. Mass. The collection is large
one and contains only the very best
reproductions of the MASTERPIECES of
art of different countries and periods.
Nearly every gallery and country in
the world have to be visited to see the
original pictures which are here
brought together in one collection.
The collection comprise two hun,
arcd subjects representing all thS
priacipai scl,onis OF arr and Including
many reproductions ~ sculpture,
architecture and importsnt views from
nature. Few collections have ever
been brought together which so conf
pletely cover the history of art OF all
times as this An excellent catalogue
has been prepared giving important
facts bearing on the artists and their
masterpieces.
No city or town should be indiffer-
ent to the culture and refinement Of its
people 1t is part of the school work
to inculcatc these qualities in the chill
dren through whatever means it has
at its disposal The wholesome and
refining influence OF pictures of the
rioht sort on the school walls is now
generally recognized os one of the
most valuable means OF securing this
end The funds for purchasing such
pictures are already raised and the
citizens of Yerington and vicinity are
asked to enjoy the pictures as often
and as fully as possible. free
We hope you will not fail to visit
the exhibition. and believe you will be
fully repaid for the slight trouble in
the pleasure and profit you will gain
for yourself The building will be open
all davs of the week until dark. and
on Wednesday evening will be lighted
for those unfortunate enough not to

RESUME OF MINING OPERATIONS
IN THE DISTRICT FOR PAST week

Ierington has at present three shifts
on development work and III dong
this work considerable fine ore is en-
countered which is being sent to the
smelter at the rate of two to three
carloads week Altogether this
property looks encouraging and as
though it would make big one.
Smith Valley Mines Co.-Ths prop
erty is developing into big and rich
mine, in which gold values predomi-
nate Ore from an S-foot face OF hlgn-
grade with no wall in sight is being
mined and sacked. In driving the tun-
mel ahead to connect with the shalt
the ore was entered much sooner than
expected, and was of better grade
than encountered i'll the shaft The
south drift from the shaft would have
opened this ore If continued some dis
tance further. 1t is the intention OF
the company to soon connect with the
Pine Grove power line and install an
up-to-date electric plant at the mine.
consisting of hoist compressor. etc.
The building of a six-milc spur OF the
Nevada Copper Belt railroad is one OF
the items that will be inaugurated at
once. and this will give the much
needed transportation and allow a big
tonnage to be mined and shipped,
doing away with the wagon haul.
The mine is scene of great activ
itv and development is being pushed
as fast as possible Before the year
1914 is very old this property prom
iseS to be one of the largest producers
and shippers in the Yerington district
New Yerington-A great amount Of
development work is now being done
on this property under the supervis-
ion of V. \. Giles and the results are
very gratifying Another shift will be
put on during the coming week and
the work crowded that much faster.
The Stope in the tunnel is showing the
usual amount OF good ore and the
winzc going down from the tunnel
level is looking as well as it ever did.
DEVELOPMENT on the 400-foot level OF
the shaft is being crowded along as
ranidly as possible.

big transformers for the Pine Grove

a new time table for the Copper Belt

Charlotte Observer,

NudrlOCte observer, :
There appears to have been no
difficulty in getting at the cause
OF the high price OF eggs in New
York. The Housewives League
finds that the cold storage men
have bought up about the avail.
able supply, paying IS cents a
dozen, and now charging 4S cts.
for the eggs with a prospect that
the price will 20 to 60 cents. The
cold storage people have some.
thing like $4,000, 600 eggs on ice.
The Housw'fes' League has or
eanized a war for eggs at thirty
cents-a price they consider fair
under the circumstances q n d
which they are willing to pay.
This is an instance OF the high
cost OF Lying for which the greed
OF speculalo's is directly RESPONSE
ole. 1t is quite probable that the
New York house keepers will he
successful in their war against
these exorbitant prices. for they
have public sentiment back of
them il not the law. They pro.
pose TO break the egg trust BY
importing the product of the
European hens. Under the new
tariff law eggs are admitted
free of duty and this fact will
make q difference, With no duty
to pay, foreign shippers can
place eggs in New York at "a
cents a dozen. IL is claimed for
Che German egg That 1t weighs
from five to six pounds more
to the case than the American
egg. And in that is a little mar
gin OF profit. 1t must be remem.
bered that the New York prices
quoted are for cold storage eggs.
Fresh eggs are retailing on the
market there at GO cents now
and the prices are likely to 20 to
IS cents or a dollar unless the
women can succeed IN curbing
the rapacity OF the speculator.
