twenty-five MEN TO
STUDY PROSPECTING

Twenty-Five men registered at the
Mackay School of Mines for the
short ours in prospecting which ex-
tends through the month of Febru-
airy. OF these men ten registered as
prospectors and four as miners so
the registration shows that the ma
jority of those entering the course
belong to the class of men for which
it was intended. Most of the re-
naming men intend to engage in
prospecting, only a few entering the
course because of general interest in
mining. Three enrolled as students
and the remaining eight gave their
occupations as follows: homesteader,
office manager, advertising man,
civil engineer. mine manager, mine
operator, minister, retired banker.
Two of the prospectors had no
home address, the remaining stu
dents giving addresses as follows:
Reno, g.; Rochester, 8; Winrcwucca,
2; Goldfield, 1; Sulphur, 1; Dyke,
1; Gardnerville, 1; Fallon, 1; Anne
dee, Calf, L; Los Angeles, 1; West
Medford, Mass, 1. 1t is thus see
that although the course is given in
Reno the great majority of the stu
dents came from outside that city
and that some even came from out
side the state.
The regular exercises of the course
consist of twelve lectures and six
laboratory periods each week. The
subjects covered are chemistry, min
eralogy, geology, prospecting. assay
ing, gas engines, first aid to the in
jured and mining law.
On Wednesday evening special
lectures illustrated by lantern slides
are given. Other special lectures be-
ing given during the daytime. These
include lectures on the geology Of
Nevada, prospecting in South Amer
lea, and mine rescue work by Profess
sors Jones. Lincoln and Palmer. The
course as a whole appears to be high
ly appreciated by the students, sew
eral of whom have expressed their
desire to take it over again the COM
ing year, while others have stated
that they felt sure when their friends
heard about it they would come, in
creasing the attendance another year
to several times that for the present.

Hold Uns DesDerate

One of the most daring hold ups
of recent years was committed at
Moapa, so miles north of Las We
gas, recently. Two masked men
held up Dick Kirkham, clerk in
Sloan's store, r. N. Bunker, operator
at the depot and a man called
Johnnie marched them off to
Jail, locked them up and then pro-
ceeded to loot the Sloan store, Sc
curing $50 in cash, two .3O-.30 RI
files with 100 rounds of ammunition
and other articles. A span of grey
horses was missed shortly after the
robbery and it is believed that the
men made their escape with the aid
of the animals.

believer in rigid discipline in the po-
lice department and he thought Mr..
Healey's suggestion too mild. He
considered the officers offense the
more serious inasmuch as it took
place in court. However, he thought
Officer Quinn's previous good record
should save him from dismissal. II
think he should be suspended for a
year." he said
Il don't want to- starve the man, SO
I disagree with the chairman" said
Mr.. Holmes. He said he thought six
months enough but wanted the proviso
inserted that if he is ever brought
before the board again for anything
other than minor offense he should
be dismissed. "All reports | have
received of Officer Quinn have been
good" said Mr.. Holmes.
Mr. Healey called for the question,
but Mr.. Alling interrupted to say that
If he voted to suspend the officer for
| year he would not expect him to
| report daily. Mr.. Holmes and Mr..
| Allins voted against Mr.. Healey's mo-
| tion and it was lost
| In his turn Mr.. Holmes amended
Mr.. Healeys motion with his afore-
said proviso Mr.. Healey objected
! because he wanted Officer Quinn to
| feel that he is having a chance and
| did not want the officer to be kept in
| the right path by the threat Of what
| will happen if he is found guilty again.
He feared that it might tend to in
duce the officer to dodge issues and
| try to cover up little things for fear
| that he would be dismissed. He
| wanted an officer to feel that If he
| is ever brought before the board again
| he would be tried on the merits Of
! the case. " We ought not want to
hang something onto him for some
thing that might come up later. I
| think the penalty should be one thing
or another with no strings on him.
said Mr.. Healey. -~s- as
Mr.. Holmes thought Officer Quinn a
| man who needs string on him and
Mr.. Healey did not think he is that
| type of man who needs a string to
keep him straight.
DEMONSTRATING and Holmes.
To end further argument Chairman
Alling moved to have Officer Quinn
dismissed. Mr.. Holmes seconded the
motion. Mr.. Healey said he hoped
the motion would be lost as it was

of the commissioners were voting for

be just.

dismissal and Mr.. Hea1ey voted against
It. The motion was declared carried
