by 10 horsepower triplex electric
pump and No. 7 GAINESVILLE sinker
will be continued to the 800 foot
level" says Mr.. Cutler, and then
drifting to the east will be started
with machine drills. The drift east
will be run to open up the downward
extension OF the large ore chutes that
were partially stopped in the upper lev
els. These slopes have yielded nearly
expect to top the downward extension
of the chutes, which will contain rich
ore.
while the pumping has been going
on. the Is and 205 foot levels have
been cleaned out, rctimbered where
necessary, and the Slopes put in shape
for the extraction of mill ore. Tn
mill, which is an all shining cyanide
plant, will not be started this winter
but everything will be in readiness for

NEVADA CONV|CTS CELE.
bRATE CHRISTMAS
MERR|LY

Writing to the Reno Gazette from
the Nevada state prison, one of the
inmates who spent Christmas there
describes the celebration OF the day
by the prisoners, and states that de-
spite the fact that the men are in
prison they enjoyed the day and were
made to feel that the world still has
a place for them.
1T has been one of the prettiest
Christmas days that | have seen
here" says the writer. THE sun
shining brightly on the snow covered
ground made it an ideal day to be
out of doors in the prison yard
Two boxing bouts, one four round
and the other a two round affair
served to excite the appetites of the
men for the big Christmas dinner
that we knew was coming. The
bouts were fast ones, and resulted in
draws.
Following the boxing matches we
marched to the dining room where
one of the best Christmas dinners
ever served in the prison was at
tackled and greataly enjoyed. War
den Henrichs was Piven message
of thanks for his generosity and
thoughtfulness. The dinner was fol
lowed by a musical entertainment.

WALKER LAKE ROAD IS
RECOMMENDED BY
AUTO MAN

A road building project that will
give Nevada one of the great scenic
roads of the country if carried out
is being discussed at SINE length in
Mineral County. The plan is to
build a road on the west side OF
Walker lake, making shorter route
from Reno to the southern cities
and changing the route from sandy
and often impossible fat to boule-
ward overlooking the beautiful lake
Walker lake is about rs miles long
and on its western side for nearly its
entire lengeh it is skirted by rhair
of mountains that extend from the
waters edge. In places the sides OF
the mountains rise straight up from
the water for hundred feet or more
The ground is of such character
according to ]. c. Durham of the Dur.
ham Sales Co., that once road is
built through the mountain, it will
last forever.
1t would require large amount OF
money to finance the building of the
road and it is planned by the resi-
dents of Mineral county to ask for
assistance from other southern coun-
ties. Maps showing the route have
been prepared by J. B. Platts of Cat
Creek. and petitions are now being
circulated in Nina, Hawthorne and
Luning asking the county commits
sioners of Mineral county to have Z
survey of the route made and an es-
innate of the cost of construction oi
the road prepared.
The road will extend from the shore
of the lake across the fiat to Luning
and Nina, instead of going through
Pamlico canyon This route elimin
ates all grades, and is much shorter
The beauty of the proposed road
would appeal largely to the motorist
as it would give view of Walker
Lake from a slight elevation and .
ride through a chain of mountains
that could not be surpassed for beau
ty in the country-Reno Gazette.

county board, although given an op-
portunity to come under the jurisdic-
ton of the county board by popular
vote of the district affected. This
actly the same form of school admin
istration as at the present time.
That the present system of school
supervision be radically changed as
follows:
That each county board of educa-
ton appoint its own county super
visor, who may be:
(a) A county supervisor of schools
who will devote all OF his time to such
work; or
(b) The principal OF the county
high school; or,
(c) The superintendent of school
district the first class within such
county.
Provision was made for the consol-
idation of two or more counties into
supervision districts, the supervision
in both or all of the counties to be
done by one person to be appointed
by the joint board of said counties.
That in order to bring the centra
State authority and the local super
visory and administrative authority
into better relations and into closer
touch. a commission be created to b.
known as the Nevada School Super
visory Commission, to be composed
of the members of the board of edu

Radical reorganization of the
school system of Nevada is recon-
mended in a report drawn up by the
EductA ional Survey commission at
Carson City this week and which will
be submitted to the legislature for
adoption, providing several members
of the commission absent at this
weeks meeting also approve of the
plan.
The commission members who were
present were Governor Boyle, Prof. J
Z. Bray, State Superintendent OF
Schools, Prof. J. w. Hunting. Judge
J. F. Langwith, Dr. George F. James.
Executive Secretary, and Mrs. Harvey
Edwards, official Reporter, according
to the Carson Daily Appeal.
The recommendations include the
direct appointment of the district
school supervisors bv the county
board OF education rather than to
have them appointed as now by the
State Superintendent This feature
Of the school system has been fought
back and forth for long period.
Following are the recommendations
and report:
That the present state board OF cd
ucation be abolished and in lieu there
of {. state board consisting of five
members to be appointed by the Gov
ernor created.
That the superintendent of public
instruction be made an appointive Of
hcer, the appointing power resting
with the state board of education
However, since this Office is consti
tutional office, it will take six years
to nut this thing into effect, in the
event that the LEGISLATURE approves the
recommendation.
That the present system of schoo
district supervision be abolished ant
lieu thereof that the county unit
plan be adopted. In short, this plan
contemplates the administration OF
school affairs within each county by
county board of education elected
by the people. In lieu of school trus-
tees abolished by this plan, the county
board will appoint school district
agents to represent the various schoo
districts Districts of the first class

ing more than ten teachers-are elm

BURLESON WANTS THE
PATRONAGE FOR
HIMSELF

The "cluby" spirit of the Presi
dents cabinet is likely to be dlsturbet
by a suggestion which Postmaster
General Burleson has made in his an
nual report.
lie takes exception to the pro
visions the new law for the eXpendi
ture OF federal money for good roads
and argues that these funds should be
laid out upon the highways which arr
most in use for the transportation
the mails. From this premise is al
easy steo to the position that th'
Postoffice Department should be EN-
powered to designate the roads whicl
are to be improved with government
funds, which Mr. Burleson advance
very positively; though he concede
that the actual work of constru.tini
the roads which he designates Nigh
remain where it now is, with the De
partment OF Agriculture.
Secretary Houston OF the Agrlcul
tural Department has not yet beei
heard from, but there is no doubt
his vigorous dissent in case the Bur
Lesson proposal should be seriousl,
pressed.
General points out that Fedora
buildings have frequently been located
witrout what he calls due regart
for the requirements of the postal ser
vice which was compelled to use the
same" his thought evidently beins
that he should be empowered to To-
cate Federal buildings as well as tt
designate highways which are to be
favored. On this point Secretary Nc
Adoo has not been heard from, ether
but there is ample reason to think
that his resistance will be strenuous
As a matter of fact, Mr. McAdoo ha
been trying for long time to curtai
the powers of Congress in locating
federal buildings and to get that au'
thority into the hands of his depart
ment.
1t would now appear that Mr.. Bur
Lesson medtates flching Something
from the prerogatives not only OF
Congress but of two of his clleagues
in the Cabinet. AS general rule
Cabinet fficers are always trying te
enhance their official prestige. and
they are very Jealous of their preroP
atinves. Every new bureau created
and every appropriation Whsch Is
granted or increased is to them q
tonic. So Mr.. Burleson's intimations
that he would like to magnify his
own department at the expense OF
those of his colleagues are likely tc
produce at least panied surprise t
the injured gentlemen.
1t is not at all improbable, also
that il Mr.. Burleson insists upon his
assumed superior ability in the loca
ton of public buildings and the selec-
ton of roads to be improved, some
other member of the Cabinet may
recall the assertion made by a west
ern Congressman that Burleson's de
partment located a rural route ovei
a swamp that nobody had ever beer
able to traverse and another rout'
over a cliff 40 feet hiph.s.-
