PROSPECTING IDEAS

The Mining and Scientific Press
in its discussion Of prospecting,
offered the following in its last is
ne.
"The world is not coming to an
end and the people are not going
to cease lsing metals. New ex-
ploits will be found and the open
field Is in search for blind lodes.
That requires skill and money. The
old .prospectors IS a class do not
have the skill, and a new order of
prospectors must be developed. 1t
is insight, not numbers, that is
needed. The geologist has some of
that but he falls far short Of hav-
ing all that is needed. Some time
ago We suggested that the United
States geological survey had a large
responsibility and a magnificent OPP
portunity in this connection. Our
suggestion has been partly misun-
derstoud. Mr.. Albert Rurch believes
that the government should pros
pect its own lands and we believe
that SONS thing along that line can
be done to advantage, but it is
much more important than the or
ganization that has the largest fund
of information and at the same
time the entire confidence Of min
ing men, should do its share in de-
veloping the new methods that we
must have. Whether the geologi-
cal survey found a mine or not,
would be relatively unimportant il
it pointed the way to the finding
Of mines. The suggestion that
young technical graduates be put
with old prospectors has much to
commend it, as both the prospector
and the graduate would learn much
that would be useful; but that is
a detail Of administration"

FEDERAL PLUMS

Senators Newlands and Pi.tman
have recommended the following
FEDERAL appointments for Nevada:
Receiver Of the United States
Lad office at Carson City. John
+. Varadaman of Goldfeld.
United States Surveyor General,
John B. O'Sullisan of Reno. He
will succeed Matthew Kyle WREN
his term expires.
Postmaster at Goldfeld, Benjamin
Rosenthal.
Postmaster at Reno. Frank l..
White.
Postmaster at Sparks, John P.
Reynolds.
These appointments have been
sharply contested by the various
applicants and their friends. and it
has been no easy task for the sena-
tors to make a choice. While we
favored one Of or t,wnsmen for
General, we believe the
successful a applicant for that Office
is in every way worthy and will
make q good officer. The same can
be said Of the other successful APP
plicants.

LEIPSIC AND DRESDEN
NOT IN SEA BATTLE

VALPARAISO, Chile, Nov. 10
Officers of the German cruiser Lei
psic and Dresden which arrived here
Friday for supplies, denied that either
of their ships took part in the fight
off Coronel resulting in the loss of
the cruisers Good Hope and Mon
mouth of Admiral Cradock's British
squadron. TIE two German vessels
showed no marks, indeed, of partici-
patton in a recent engagement.
Accepting the German officers
statement as true, the German and
British squadrons must have been of
equal strength unless the Bremen was
included in the former, which would
have given the Germans a numerical
superiority.
The Leipsic's and Dresden's officers
were anxious to learn something con-
corning the whereabouts of British
ships in the Pacific. They had OBJ
tanned no information along this line
they said, from passing vessels.
1t was believed here that recent re-
ports OF Japanese fighting ships off
the Chilean coast were due to the pre-
sence of the German squadron, which
was thought to have been mistaken
for japanese.

SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 17.-For-

Principal A. p. Simpich. I'm one Of
the classes" states Mr.. Simpich, Ger
mans and Frenchmen sit side by side
and help each other with their lessons
in a most amicable way. The other
day an Austrian who is a second-year
pupil at the night school, came in.
arm-in-arm. with a Serb whom he
was introducing to the course. We
have had to open another room for
foreigners beginning the study of Eng
lish, owing to the large numbers ap-
plying. So far we have so beginning
foreigners IL is possible that We will
open still another room for the for
eigners when cold weather begins to
drive the Greeks and Italians in from
their work on the railroads. Last
year the Greeks were the most num-
erous of any nationality except the
Germans. The total enrolment in the
elementary night school this year is
500. The average age Of pupils in
the first and second grades, where the
elements OF reading, writing and
spelling are taught. is about 80 years
This average is also found up TO the
sixth grade. but the pupils in the
three higher grades are much
younger"
