HIGH SCHOOL
 CONTRACTS LEI
(FrOm Wednesdays Daily Miner.)

(From Wednesdays Daily Mtner.)
 Yesterday the board of education of the County Union High school con cluded the award of contracts to the various low bidders of the erection of the big high school building. There were three bids, but the board decided that the bid of Edwards & Wildey company of Los Angeles for the build ing was the lowest and the award was made to them. Their bid for the gen eral contract was S56,75O. The same firm also was awarded the contract for the plumbing at S3OOO.
 Hoagland, Lakin company of Los Angeles were the low bidders on the heating and ventilating fixtures in the sum of S3189. Forve, Pettibone com pany were low bidders for electric fix lures, their bid being $1226.45. A progress clock is to be put in the huild- ing at a cost of s99O. The entire cost of the building, with some built-in fix lures, plumbing, heating, ventilating and electric fixtures, is $56,943.7O. This leaves but a small amount of the appropriation for the furnishing of the building.
 The Daily Miner was of the opinion that the amount of bonds voted for the high school building was inadequate and the award of the contract at the figures above given still further in- cline us to that belief. Building ma terial is high and building costs are higher than ever before, therefore, a building commensurate with the school needs of the county should have at least S1OO,OOO. The fixing of the grounds and other necessary expenses cannot be met from this appropriation as it will take every dollar for furni- ture.

SHAFT Is BEING UNWATEREO

CFrom oatnan Section Daily Miner.)
 At the Ivanhoe the new pumping equipment has been installed and is rapidly unwatering the shaft. Man ager A. G. Heating is closely watching the unwatering process.
 The last rounds of shots in the drift on the 500 foot level opened up what is thought to be the long sought ore body, but at the same time a volume of water which could not be handled by the pumping equipment was en- countered. A few grab samples were obtained but otherwise nothing is known of the vein.
 The samples obtained showed free gold and, it is said, assayed high. The unwatering of the shaft will take con- siderable time as the shaft is filled to within 200 feet of the collar.

WELL DRILLERS AT PILGRIM STRIKE
 BIG WATER FLOW
IFrnm Sundays Daily Minerl


 Drillers on the Pilgrim mine well this week struck big body of water at a depth of 554 rect. The drill entered very hard ground below the 300 foot point and when it was pene- trated a rush of water followed. The water raised to a height of TIA feet and although the pumps were put on and run for four hours there appeared to be no diminution in the supply.
 One of the peculiarities of the well is that the gravel that was brought out in the sand pump, after water had been struck, was river gravel, the pebbles being rounded and worn by attrition. It is thought that an old river channel has been found, which is quite probable.
 Some time ago a "douser" was brought in from the San Joaquin val ley of California, who claimed that he could locate the water, the Pilgrim people would not pay him unless he proved his theory. He went over the ground and finally located the spot, under which he said there would be found a big volume of water at a depth of 334 feet. The water was there all right, and only 20 feet far ther down.
 It is now probable that the people having the Pilgrim under option will go on with the development of the property, bounteOus supply of water for all purposes being at hand.

 OPENS PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN

is boosting Oatman and the immediate district, they are not losing track of the fact that the whole county must be boosted and they are going to boost that also. A benefit to Oatman will be benefit to the entire county and state. As the mines of Oatman are being developed so will those of Sec ret Pass, Union Pass, Cerbat, Mineral Park, Yucca, Chloride and in fact every part of the county. It will not only benefit the local public but that of the state and the United States. This publicity campaign is a gigantic undertaking which requires the con- certed effort and cooperation of every citizen of Mohave county to carry it to the fullest success. Every citizen from the boot black to the capitalist will reap a benefit.
 The Oatman Bureau of Mines is advertising Mohave county with the full assurance that every contention that is being made is a true one, and proof is waiting for those who are not fully convinced of the vast possibilities that are offered here in the mining field.
 There might have been some knockers in Oatman and Mohave county at the time the Oatman Bureau of Mines was organized, but they have disappeared and the people of Oatman have extended standing in vitation to the knocker to not stop in Oatman. Should there be one left here or in the county they are invited to take up their little roll and travel to a community where they might be more welcome.
 It has been found that a committee of seven as an executive committee is too large and cumbersome for prac- tical purposes, so the committee of seven as whole have elected W. F. Gray, Frank Strong and A. c. Eisen as a permanent executive committee. The remaining four of the committee with Paul Geary, president of the Bureau, will be appointed by the Executive committee as sub-commit- teemen for any and all purposes where committees may be needed. Charles Spellman, mining writer of fame, has been engaged to carry on the pub licity of the Bureau. He is expected to arrive and take up his work on or about December 1. MT. Spellman has been identified with some of the lar gest publicity campaigns in the west. He is also known all over the country for his ability as a conservative min ing man and authority on mining. He was in the midst of the Goldfeld boom, and earlier was known far and wide as an authority on mining in Utah. The committee has the utmost faith in his ability and he will be given full charge of the publicity upon his arrival.
 The Needles boosters who are to take part in the publicity movement are to have a meeting next Thursday at which they will decide upon the method of procedure they will take in futherance of the campaign. Soon after this meeting they will come to Oatman where they have been invited to banquet to be given in their honor by the Oatman Bureau of Mines.
