$13.17o,00o. From 1S75ytos187S those
two mines paid ss2,l60000. each

Out Of those times and those men
came that precious thing called ..'The
Spirit of Nevada, None but a Burns
could portray it. in all its breadth and
strength and Freedom and striking In
diyidualism; its charity, its nobility of
soul, Its democracy. Men met on an
even plane, the poor and the rich,
the weak and the strong. Each re-
sDected the other and all were joined
in a bond of achievement, humanity
and good fellowship.
They strove mightily and they had
great faults, but there was no mean
ness. no narrowness, no smallness of
soul.
A noble past is a tremendous in
centive to a great future.
We Neyadans have a great inher-
itance and 1t behooves us to be
worthy Of II.
Let US dedicate this building to
1.-The Spirit of Nevada. which we
trust will W. die.

ing experiments on this subject have
been carried out by DR.. X. s. Lashley

as the subject Of observation. Twenty
unframed persons were divided into
three groups. One group shot FIVE
arrows with the English longbow per,
day; another twenty shots per day,
and the third, forty shots. The re-

group shooting only five times day
improved in accuracy with less ex-

required by either of the other groups
