RAND DISTRICT
IS NOW ACTIVE
COPPER MOUNTAIN OPERATIONS
MAKE DISTRICT IMPORT
ANT PRODUCING POINT

Shipments of high-grade ore
have started from the Copper Noun
tain mine, operated by the Jumbo
Extension company of Goldfield, and
sinking of shaft No. 3 has begun.
This shaft will be sent to a depth of
$50 feet, whence Cross-cuts will be
thrown out to develop the orebodies
disclosed in No. l and No. 2 work
ings. The ore being shipped rang
es from 10 to Is per cent copper,
with a large tonnage available.
Several of the leasing companies
are also shipping steadily from the
Copper Mountain, and a number of
motor trucks and teams are operat-
ing between the property and Nolan
station. The Miller-La Pate lease,
for months the premier shipper OF
riot, has started sinking on
No. shaft another 100 feet for the
purpose of opening the orebody to
better advantage.
The new hoist and compresso
liant of the Queen Regent Merger
is in commission and sinking of the
oct shaft an additional 100
feet has begun. Extensive lateral
work has been started from the 500
station in expectation of opening the
rich vein which yielded bonanza ore
near the surface. 1t is planned to
start development of the vein on the

shaft has been sunk to 500 feet at a
total cost of S12.41 per foot, a re-
markable record when it is remem
drills on a property 20 miles from
the railroad.
The rich vein recently uncovered
at a depth of $50 feet in the Ne
vada Rand continues to develop
splendidly. Superintendent Charles
koegel is prosecuting vigorous work
at this point in expectation of open
ing a large tonnage of shipping ore,
as three feet of the vein averages
better than $50 per tor in silver
and gold. Prospecting of the fis
sure from the 450 level is proceeding
rapidly in expectation of i~ntersecting
combinations of the rich shoots ex-
posed in the upper workings. Rich
ore is also being followed on the
250-foot level.
Approximately 25 operators have
petitioned the postoffice department
to change the name of the main ship

Agricultural War School

A War School of Agriculture"
on thes Truckee-Carson irrigation
project is a scheme that is now
being planned by Dean c. S.
knight of the state university and
it is meeting with favor from the
department of agriculture and may
be established within a few months.
Dean Knights idea is to train stu
dents of the university on a big
farm and at the same time produce
crops to aid the food shortage. He
wants a 1000 or 15OO-acre tract
on the project on which to estab-
lish his school.

To Build Synagogue

Articles of incorporation for the
first Jewish synagogue in the state
were filed recently at Reno. A lot
has been purchased and before the
end of the year the congregation
will have started the erection of
a $4,000 modern brick edifice.
Reno has close to 100 Jewish fami-

has been exposed lately On the 800
foot level, in extending the main
drift to the east. Teams r engag-
ed in hauling the ore to the rail-
road daily.
Goldfeld Merger
At a depth of 1850 feet in the St.
Ives claim of the Merger Mines COM
pany, large bodies of low-grade
copper ore have been found in ex-
ploring virgin territory north of the
cross-cut that connects the Merger
shaft with that of the adjoining
Grizzly Bear mine of the Consoli-
dated. This ore is not of CONNER
cial grade under present conditions,
but if a sufficiently large tonnage is
developed the product can be min
ed profitably and treated here by
the flotation process. 1t is the plan
of Manager Willis Lawrence to do
some prospecting later on the 1850
foot level.
Red Hill Florence
A large force of miners is en-
ployed by the Red Hill Florence
company in exploration work on the
500-foot level, where the main Flor
ence vein is being explored and
where seams of good ore have al
ready been exposed. The S00-foot
shaft has been completely retim-
bered to the 500-foot level and there
are stations on the 600, 700 and
SOO-foot levels from which develop
ment work will be conducted in due
course of time.
Cracker Jack
In extending the east cross-cut on
the 32O-foot level, the Cracker Jack
company is making record progress,
the face having been advanced late
than seven feet daily. Three shifts
of miners are employed and the
mine is equipped with an excellent
surface plant. 1t is believed bv.
the management that the cross-cut
will shortly penetrate the Column
bia Mountain fault vein. at a point
where it forms a junction with an
other and parallel vein of promise.
Silver Pick Cons.
Operating from the, old Won Pc
LEM lease shaft, in the northern part
of the property, the Silver Pick has
exposed some low-grade ore and a
vein that Manager Dyer regards as
highly promising. This territory has
not been worked since the early
days of the camp and at no time
has any extensive development work
been performed at depth. 1t is
planned to sink this 3OO-foot shaft
to a depth of over 600 feet.
Lone Star Cons.
Plans for the resumption of active
work on the Lone Star property are
under consideration and President
n. H. Wheeler is expected here soon
to arrange for the beginning of
work on a broad scale. Since work
was suspended on the property some
promising veins have been opened
by surface work and the showing is
regarded as justifying thorough
development.

THE MOMENT OF

two weeks Mordecai Boggs was only
delivering groceries in his spare hours.
The rest Of the time he was special
izing at Siwash in rhetoric, compost
ton, oratory and English literature.
He was shy. freckled young man,
was Mordecai, for all his eloduence on
the stage, and he did not get acquaint-
ed very fast. This was just as it should
be, for. naturally enough, before any
one else In college noticed him "Chub"
and were fast friends and felt sure
we could lead him into our sacred So
ciety with a wave Of the hand. We
felt so sure about it that we couldn't
help Dragging little. In fact, was so
indiscreet as to mention to Pitcher, an
Adelpm freshman, as we were dress
Ing In the gym one evening late in
March that we had a young freshman
cinched for our open meeting who
would not only out-orate their whole
society but would set the worlds rec
ord for freshman screechers of all
weights, heights and cylinder areas.
Pitcher was so scornful that he
didn't spend over half an hour trying
to worm the freshman's name out of
me. 1t didn't do any good. 1 can keep
secret. But Club couldn't. He got
to talking with an Adelphi senior the
very next day, and in the heat of an
argument over the societies merits.
running back to the time when Ban
ming, Gnothautii '46, won nine inter-
society debates In a row, he not only
Dragged about our new freshman but
let his name slip out And the very
next day we caught two Adelphians
taking Boggs down TO stuff him with
oysters and fiction about Adelphi.
We were so mad that we made the
whole campus echo. Both Club and I
went to the Adelphi president and de-
nounced their efforts as high-handed,
underhanded. backhanded and two
faced, to say nothing Of cloven-hoofed.
We had practically pledged this young
man to our society, we declared. We
had induced him to enter college. He
was our property. II they were men

us. We almost cried as we pied.
Would they 60 away? Will the tiger

lamb? They just laughed at us. WEI

Boggs to stay with us, and Club and
I hung around him so closely that It

To begin with, the boy wasn't in COL

1t didn't take Club" two hours to
arrange the plan Of campaign. But he
didn't go to the young man first. He
went to the church society and ex-
planned to the leaders how shocking 1t
was that so talented a young man

natural orator. Anyone within three
blocks could tell that. They told me
as he Numbered that he could speak
on any subject, and that his word pic

also that they always put him on at
the end Of the program, in order that
the audience might leave them when it
got enough, for the young man had no
terminal facilities whatever. BEYOND
this one fault he was q fine speaker,
they declared, and ] admitted it as

was still speaking, and each hoarse
whoop which followed me down the
street made my idea seem more daz-
zling.
The freshman speech was one Of the
features Of our open meetings. 1t gave
each society a chance to parade its
most promising freshman orator.
Usually it was acclaimed with a great
fury and as much eloquence as the
youngster could muster. We all laughed
at these speeches-you couldn't help
laughing at the wildly revolving arms
but we took deep interest In them
