| Editor Milford Chronicle:
In a recent issue of the Milford Chroni-
Gle there appeared in the Greenwood
letter an article evidently intended for
an attack upon the School Board of the
district wherein is located the new
Greenwood School Building now nearing
completion. As the statements in the
letter referred to are to a very great
extent false and misleading, the School
Board feels it their duty to refute any
charge falsely made or implied in such
letter so that the public may not feel
that they are quietly submitting to such
attacks and thus infer that such attacks
are just and so must be endured.
The writer of said article could not
have tried to ascertain the feeling of
the public on the matters involved in his
attack as many persons have commended
the plans, material and location of the
School Building.
The plans of the building were made
by competent architects of experience,
whose skill and knowledge in the art of
architecture no doubt excel that of the
writer of the article referred to, and as
many commendable things have been
said of the School Building. we feel that
many of the critics have been looking |
from a different point of view from the
author of said article.
We have the figures to show that
we have gotten value received for ex-
as the future will soon reveal. |
The site of the School building is the
one suggested by Governor Pennewill.
AS to the gift of land the School
Board paid $1,000 for the two acres and
has deed for same.
There is an adjoining tract which Gov
ernor Pennewill has spoken of giving
which would enlarge the school grounds.
The architects employed superintended
the work, and not the School Board, be-
yond what would be expected of them
IN their position.
We are proud of the new homes and
stores, electric lights and other improve
nents and hope that we may yet point
With pride to our modern and up to date
School Building.

BIG LEAGUE PLAYERS
WON'T Be seen HERE
AFTER MONEY Is RAISED TELE-
GRAM PUTS STOP TO ALL
PREPARATIONS

Goldfield BASEBALL fans will be dis
appointed to learn that the all-star
teams of the two big leagues will not
be seen here. Late this afternoon a
w,re was received at the T. & G..
office from the manager of the tour
stating that a Encouragement of the
itinerary would make it impossible
for the teams to appear in Goldfield
on the way to the coast.
This word was doubly disar-
pointing because hard and quick
work on the part of a local commit
tee had already raised the cash
guarantee of $500 required and ev-
erybody was enthusiastic over the
prospect of seeing the big league
stars. A few men attended the meet
ing called at the Goldfield hotel last
night and they quickly decided that
the required guarantee could be
raised. 1t was proposed that fifty
men subscribe $40 each and within
a short time half the money had been
subscribed. Today the balance was
raised.
Then came the disappointing tele-
gram.

DRIVE TO yUBA Dixie
MANAGEMENT TO PROSPECT ORE
STRINGERS CUT ON LOWER
LEVELS

The work on the 800 level of the
Demijohn Consolidated property, To-
Gated near Phoebe, New, is being
pushed rapidly forward to cut the
Yuba dixie, according to Fred w.
Price, president and general manag-
er of the Demijohn Consolidated
Mining company. At the last report

Gitsch, the breast of the drift was
showing more naturalization and the
ground was getting softer.
The ore body encountered some
time ago on the 125 level is holding
out well. More than 100 tons OF
shipping ore have been broken.
President Price said that the drift is
being pushed toward the Yuba dixie,
which, according to the biologists
that have visited the district, is the
Undertaking source of the ore depos-
its. The property has been financed
for q big campaign of development
work, which the management plans

winter months.
The main vein that runs through
the property has a northerly and
southerly trend and dips to the east.
The working shaft is 800 feet in
depth and in prosecuting and drift
ing on the lower levels numerous
stringers of ore have been encoun-
tered. President Price is of the
opinion that these stringers are but
offshoots of the main ore body and to
demonstrate this plans on thorough
ly prospecting them during the flu
ture.
The property is thoroughly
equipped with all of the necessary
mining machinery. There are seven
