NEVADA-PROGRESSIVE
COMPANY MAKES A
NICE-LOOKING FIND

The next big mining boom in Ne
vada is very likely to be in the west
end of Pinegrove mountain in the vi
cinity of the Nevada Progressive and
Smith Valley mines. This week the
cross-cut being run from the 200-foot
level broke into the vein. The pan
nings indicate mighty big value in
gold content The vein exposed
shows to be feet in width. Drifting
on the ore is already in progress and in
about feet on the 22d of this month.
At the time OF writing no assays had
been run, but the string of gold in the
pan-coarse gold-shows it to be one
of the sensational strikes of the year.
This property is in good hands; men
who are making mine history, and
who will undoubtedly profit largely
from their investment, as they are
Justly entitled to do. 1t won't be long
before mill will be installed and
then look for a regular old-fashioned
boom. We understand the Messrs,
Woodbridge will be out soon to in
spect their very successful venture

FOR
AN ELECTION
EVERY FOUR YEARS

Assembly bill No. ll3, introduced
by the Elko county delegation reia-
/ tive to four-year terms for county
officers provides for the election Of
county clerks, sheriffs, assessors,
/ treasurers, administrators, justices OF
the peace, etc, for four years to take
effect at the general election i'll 1915.
Assembly bill ia, by the same dele
CATION, also provides for the election
of county commissioners every four
years, but one to be elected in the odd
year, thus providing for a hold-over.
There appears to be a marked SEN
but it has been suggested that to
give the taxpayer tie benefit of the
change the proposed law should take
effect Immediately, or four years from
now, instead of 1910. The idea of the
law, as generally understood, is to
have all county and State officers
elected every four years, and in the
same year, which would give a long
ballot every four years, and i'll the
second year a short ballot in which
would appear the names of three pres
idential electors, congressman, su-
preme judge. regent, one commission
or. Every second year, with the short
ballot. election expenses would be cut
from one-half to two-thirds, especially
if the law is also amended to permit
county commissioners to establish the
number of the polling places. With
the short ballot, one set OF precinct
officials would be able to handle al
least 1000 votes without difficulty,
which would greatly decrease the
number of precincts and the expenses
in proportion.
1t is believed that the change pro-
posed can be made without conflict
with the provisions of the State Con
stituton, and if ii is to be carried out.
it should be done in such a way to give
the taxpayers the full benefit If the
law takes effect in 1916, county Off
cials will be chosen at a different time
from State officials. and each election
will bring long ballot
Those who are interested in the
measure are compiling some interest
ing figures, showing election costs
throughout the State From sever
counties heard from the costs OF the
last election were approximately $40
600, and if this proportion holds
throughout the entire list, the bill for
the election in all counties will easily
reach $4,000 or $4,000. To cut this
one-half or more every short ballot
election would be considerable of an
item to the counties.

"The claim is made by the coun-

BRITISH SCHOOLS MAY SUR
STITUTE SPANISH FOR GER. AN
tBy Associated Press)

London. Oct. 20 The educational
authorities in London are consider
ing the substitution of Spanish for
German as second language in
schools and public examinations. The
advantages of Spanish over German
are thus stated by one of the advo-
Gates of the change:
1--WE do not want German trade,
hut we do want South American
trade. The Germans have made great
progress there, but the war has
halted them for the time being, 50
that the field is open to Great Brit
ain if we can peak the language.
Spanish is easier to learn than
German. 1t can be taught very quick
ly to a student of French, which Is
the first language in all English
schools.
German is of little use outside Of
Germany whereas Spanish is spoken
over a very considerable part of the
world.
THE teaching of Spanish is being
encouraged in the United States with
a view to that country capturing
Germany's trade. Great Britain, too,
wants share in that trade"
