TO SAVE TWO YEARS FOR PUPILS
Commissions p. r. Claxton Advocates
Plan of Advantage To Public

A movement to reorganize the
grade and high school periods so as
to devote six years to each, rather
than eight years to one and four
years to the other, has been launched
throughout the country by p. r.
Claxton, United States Commissioner
of Education. Circular letters out
lining the plan are now being sent
out to school officials throughout the
country.
The commissioner would begin the
teaching of high school subjects in
the seventh grade. Also he would
divide the high school period into two
periods of three years each, the one
to be known as the junior high school
and the other as the senior high
school.
That at least two years advantage
could be gained for most children in
this way is the belief of the commits
sioner.

Start Sharing Next Week

The Eureka Land and Stock Com
pany is preparing to commence shear,
ing it's sheep at Oak Station on the
E. N. Railway, about 80 miles north
of Eureka, and it is now expected to
start the work next week. The COM
pany recently bought the old Whalen
property at Alpha station and it was
intended to do the shearing there
this Spring, but it was found impos-
sible to get the place ready. There
are no buildings at Oak and the
shearers and other men have to live
in tents. There are several houses
on the old Whalen place, and it is in
tended to put these in order and
move the pens and corrals there in
time for next years shearing. lsa-
dore Sara, president of the company,
was in Eureka yesterday. He says
the foot and mouth disease that is
now prevalent in the different bands
of buck sheep in this section appears
to be yielding to treatment and it is
hoped that the disease may soon be
stamped out.

ore showings, is well equipped with
extensive machinery, and can be
easily put in profitable operation.
Its closing down has been merely q
matter of sentiment. The owner

it after the death of its manager, but
would hold it until some one came
along with a half million dollars and
wanted the property. 1t seems that

Good Ore In Union District

R. E. Skaggs is in Reno comforting
with j. M. Fulton relative to a more
favorable rate on the ores from the
Belle mine, says the Reno Gazette.
This property is situated so miles
south of Palisade and IL miles from
the narrow gauge railroad at a point
known as Union. The Belle mine,
according to Mr.. Skaggs, contains a
40-foot vein of lead carbonate and
galena, associated with oxide of iron
and lime, making it an ideal fuxing
ore. The gold and silver values run
up as high as $50 to the ton, although
the general average is below $40.
The Utah shelters are eager for the
ore for fuxing and the entire ledge
can be shipped if a lower freight can
be obtained, and the tonnage would
be enormous.
