BIG SIX SHIPMENT
SHOWS BIG RETURNS

Returns have been received from
the shipment recently made from the
new strike OF Ire Big Six property
in the Lynn district. and they show
values of S247 per ton. This is higher
than expected as the ore was not
sampled but represented the entire
width of the ledge and its length as
far as opened up. It was sent in as Il
test run. The returns are higher than
were anticipated, and the only ques-
ton now Is whether or not the ledge
goes down. It is understood that n
shaft will be sunk at once, and If it
continues hundred feet or more, Elko
County is assured of another Goldfield.
w. w. Ruby, superintendent of the
property, who went to Salt Lake City
with the sample run, and has been in
conference with the members of the
company, Is expected in Carlin in 4
few days, when it is said that active
development work will start, and ship.
ping will begin. If development proves
depth mill will be started at once.
Every mining man who has visited
the camp is enthusiastic over the
| showing. 1t is regarded as one OF the
| best surface prospects ever discovered
| in Nevada. AS stated in yesterdays
paper the ledge has been uncovered
for distance of several hundred feet
| and every part of its width of more
! than four feet it will pan.

EXCELLENT ADDRESS
BY PRES. HENDRicK

The first commencement of the Elko
County Normal School was made no.
table by the presence of President
Archer w. Hendrick of the University
of Nevada. The subject of his address
was: "Some Essentials of Success" "
In substance his point was that the
ideals an individual or nation show
indicate their success. The questions
are: How does one spend his time ?
Does one spend more for amusements
or education? Does one buy books or
jewelry? Does a nation give more
for candy or for missions?
The startling statement was made
that ninety per cent OF the people OF
these United States die insolvent and
that of those, ten per cent are buried
at public expense.
In order then to foster right ideals
in the young, right education is neces.
sary.
President Hendrick then spoke about
the University of Nevada. He told OF
its worth to the state. and of the
hearty response which the people are
giving He showed by comparative
statistics that the administration IL
very economical indeed and that Ne
vada is doing nobly in education.
At the conclusion of his address
Miss Bertha Knemeyer Deputy Super
intendent of Public instruction, in a
speech of much beauty, although brief
presented the class to the State Boart
for their diplomas. She emphasized
the high ideals which the class has
shown. She mentioned that their po
sitions next year will not mean Il
them meal ticket, but an opportunity
to be of service in a strong, true way
AS she presented each member Of the
class President Hendrick granted thu
diplomas.
| A further source of inspiration anC
pleasure to the large and splendid au
! dience was the assistance Of Rev
Price and Mr.. Roy Merithew. Tht
former pronounced the invocation ant
the benediction; the latter sang TIVE
, beautiful selections by Cadman. Hi
voice always much appreciated by FL
| ko evidences seemed even finer ant
I richer than usual. Mrs. NJ. L. Lothrol
! kindly played the accompaniment II
| her own able manner.
Now that the first year of the schoo
( is over, the representative people o
| Elko are eager to see the second yea
established. Five pupils are necessary
Miss Knemeyer Is convinced that ther
will be at least that number of appl
cants, as several have already declare
their intention of enrolling. Any otl
ers who desire to do SO are requeste
to see Miss Knemeyer as soon as pos
sible.

WASHINGTON June THE Unit
ed States now is engaged in foreign
war but 1t Is not struggle which so
far has necessitated the firing of guns
or the writing of notes. The war Is
with Switzerland and the great inter
national question at issue Is whether
the Swiss Alps or our own Rocky
Mountains can afford the greatest
scenic spectacles for the World and
his wife on tour.
Switzerland, because she was pre-
pared, for any years was able to domi-
nate over the United States, drawing
tourists not only from all Europe but
even from this country. But Secre-
tary of the Interior Lane, through the
new Bureau of National Parks, now is
in the field and tremendous often
sive Is on.
Switzerland has been spending about
million dollars a year in advertising
the Swiss Alps. Mr.. Lane doesn't eX'
pect to spend that much directly but
millions are to be spent In various
ways from now on to make the Ameri
can National Parks the Fairgrounds OF

said that they discussed the poisoning
of Mr. Connell. She said that McNIur-
trey had told her that a letter had
been written to Kansas regarding her,
former husband, and that an answer
had been received. This was about the
time she started action for divorce
from her former husband Lewark.
An objection was made by Judge
Curler to the method of examination
employed by the counsel for the state.
Angry words followed and the lie was
passed. The court admonished the
counsel to refrain from further person
alities.
The examination OF Mrs. Connell is
proceeding very slowly and it is prob
able that she will not finish until to-
morrow afternoon. 1t is understood
that the state expects to corEoborate
the testimony of Mrs. Connell in this
case by evidence from Carl Gilberg,

TEN COMMANDMENT
FOR BRIDEGRoOMS
BY Pac. and IntI News Service.

BY Pac. and Inti News Service.
BUFFALO, N. Y, June Here are
the ten commandments for the guild
ance Of prospective bridegrooms given
by the Rev. Robert p. MacAlpine, of
the Central Presbyterian church, in a
sermon here:
!. Don't bank on Pere beauty; 1t is
unreliable as the weather.
2. Don't marry for talent, populaTi-
ty, or wealth. Without love these
would be as insipid as an egg without
salt.
3. Don't let sentiment rule you.
Like flower, 1t Ia apt to fade before
tomorrow.
4. Don't marry woman whose
stock of common sense is no greater
than her dollars and cents. AS no
amount of the latter can buy the least
amount of the former you would like.
| ly soon be hopeless insolvent
5. Don't propose to young woman
! whose tongue isn't silent during the
sermon. She has sermons in store for
you.
6. Don't marry girl who thinks
more of n good time than a good name
Your good time would very probably
never arrive.
| 7. Don't choose young woman
who is more concerned about how she
| looks than how she acts. One Is whai
she appears to be, the other is wha
she Is. -
8. Don't marry your opposite in re
ligion. Your religion is likely to out
live your love.
| o. Don't marry until your heart ant
hand are as clean as those you hav,
won. Black and white mixed makes
both dull gray.
10. Don't marry in haste. For th
sake OF at least two lives, keep II
mind the modern key.words: "Safet.
Z first" and Preparedness"
