Hamilton News Notes

Last week William HARDWOOD came in
from Rocco omestake canyon bringing
In some nice ore from the mines he is
working. These mines are known as
the Grand Prize and he and his associ-
ates work them under an agreement and
bond from Minoletti & LAM. The in
tention is to run a tunnel into Babylon
Hill 300 feet. They had run about 40
feet when they encountered a north
and south fissure carrying ore. The
ledge Is nov over two feet wide and
seems to be bedding out in the bottom
OF the drift. The assure is nearly per.
p~endicular. One assay now returned
gives values in lead. silver and copper
amounting to ISL.
The remarkable things about this
strike are that no strike of ore of this
character has heretofore been made in
Babylon Hill; that the ore is found on a
north and south fissure whereas all the
other ore is found on east and west fis-
sures; that the deposit is nearly perpen.
dicular, whereas all others have been
more or less on the bedding plan. This
shows that the ore goes down.
Much interest Is taken in the strike,
and in spite Of the snow and the cold
three prominent mining men from Ely
came over at once to look over the find
aud were highly pleased with it. They
are r. NJ. Kellogg. r. Burnham and
CLARK Johnston. They have no interest
in these mines but are figuring on in
vesting at once. The persons interested
with Mr.. Harwood are w. b. Bierce
and Donald Teasdale. both of McGill.

pipe dreams they have destroyed the
dreamer's perspective of truth.
In order Il save the taxpayers of Eu-

last year they would have to make the
total State and County rate .08 ON the
500 valuation. while this year they
would nave to give q bonus of II. as the
total State and County rate for 1919 In
Eureka County was 80 0S. while for
1918, the Commissioner have levied the
rate at $l.S3 on the 500 valuation; that
is. allowing the State rate the same as
last year, at go.
This is probably one of the lowest tax
rates in the whole State. and even cut
ting the rate % cents this year., as they
have. the budget shows a substantial
surplus at the end of 1914, with margin
for unforeseen expenses.
It is scarcely likely under these cir.

AGTAT|NG CUTTING OFF
NORTHERN EUREKA COUNTY
Circular Letter Being Given Out
That Is a Misstatement Re-
garding Our Taxation and
Other Matters

The SENTINEL this week received q
copy Of the following circular letter
that is being distributed at Palisade and
other places In the north end of Eu-
reka County
Carlin. Nevada, February Is. 1918.
To N. Hawkins, Palisade, Nevada.
Dear Sir: There is considerable talk around
about here and in Pine Valley about annex
ing the north end of Eureka County to Elko
County, the dividing line to be somewhere
near Mineral Hill and Buckhorn, either on
this side of the two places. or on the other side
as the people in the two places shall decide.
The principal reasons that have been ad-
vanced in favor Of the move are: That the
tax rate of Eureka County is awfully high.
being $3.50 OF 1915 as against S1.67 in Elko
County; that Eureka County roads are in
very bad shape and that they have no money
with which to improve the roads; that the
property owners Of Eureka County cannot
well afford to stand a higher tax rate; that
the north end of the county is remote from
the county seat, making it very inconvenient
to attend court duties or any business neces-
sarily calling them to the county seat of the
county in which there property is situated;
that the county seat of Elko would be far
more convenient; besides. wonld reduce their
tax rate by more than 50 on the 300.
There has been some talk of annexing Eu-
reka County to Lander, but the same objec-
ton of inconvenience as to the county seat OF
Austin TO the residents of the north end of
Eureka County would be as bad as it is now.
Conditions as they now exist demand that
something like $4,000 must be expended on the
public roads in this portion of Eureka County
this year, and it is generally conceded that
Eureka County cannot stand it. There must
necessarily be a 6rst-class road built from here
to Lynn, over which to haul out the ore from
that district. and all of the heavy portion of
the road is in Eureka County. The road from
here to Beowawe over the old emigrant's trail
also must be rebuilt. and to do it right will be
quite an expenditure. The road from here to
Mineral Hill is in very bad shape.
1t is presumed that all of the Railway Com
phnicS Will idfOf Tic nOfC Ou dCCOuub VI Tue
great savings in taxes. as well as practically
all other property owners in that portion OF
Eureka County.
1t is proposed to circulate two petitions. one
in the portion of Eureka County to be an
nexed. and one in the westerly portion OF
Elko County, including the town of Elko. and
send them to the present session of the Leg
~islature, sending one or two good representa-
tive men along with the petitions.
Whatever shall be lone on the question, il
anything. must be done right away, as the
should go before the Legislature at
least a couple of weeks before the session
closes.
l have been requested to draft these petit
tions, but before doing so l would like to know
what a few of the largest property owners in
that portion of Eureka County think about it.
Please answer right away, and oblige,
Yours very truly,
j. W. PUETT.

SCHOOL REPORT URGES REFORMS


Superintendent Bray Plesds For Care Of
Delinquents and District Schools
The report of State Superintendent Of
Public instruction J. e.. Bray has ap-
peared In pamphlet form, aud while re-
viewing the year as very favorable, in
dicates the need Of Advancement along
certain lines.
Professor Bray advocates the consoli-
dation of small rural schools wherever
practicable: he asks for State aid for
district and county high schools in the
teaching Of certain branches, for the
teaching Of manual training and domes-
tic science in the Orphans Home and he
advocates the supplying Of free text
books.
As to consolidating rural schools the
report shows that much good might be
accomplished by increasing the number
of scholars and permitting the division
into grades. The problem includes that
of transporting school children to and
from school. The plan has been tried
in Starr Valley and proved good.
As to the maintenance Of schools the
report advocates that the counties be
placed under the obligation to provide
for the maintenance outside of teachers
salaries by local taxation.
State aid is advised for schools that
teach manual training, domestic sci
ence, commercial branches and agri.
culture.
Free text books are favored for all
children whether rich or poor rs part
of the logical plan for free schools.
The problem of juvenile delinquents
is discussed at some length. 1t is said
to be a hard one for the schools and the
report details the efforts made in the
past to care for such delinquents by
sending them elsewhere. A suitable
Institution is recommended with OPP
portunity for instruction in useful
trades.
