NO NEVADA NATIONAL GUARD

When the government directed that
the national guard throughout the
different states should be brought up
to full war strength and allotted a
regiment of infantry and battalion
of cavalry to Nevada, Washington
was at fault.
Once there was countryman who
went to the circus determined that
he could not be fooled. He glanced
up and saw a giraffe gazing at him
from over the fence. by jinks," the
countryman howled as he shook his
fist at the giraffe, there amt nc
such animal"
That's the trouble with the nation
al guard in Nevada. There amt nc
such animal.
What is more, the conditions at
tached by the government to the or
ganization of the guard in this state
make it impossible to muster enough
men to meet the requirements. A.

would be out of the question to bring
2400 men together from all part:
of a state as large as Nevada to drill

OUR HIGH SCHOOL

haT The Lincoln County High school
closed last week after the most sue
cesssful year of its existence. Under
the superintendency of Prof. ]. r,
Smith, the school at Panaca has made
wonderful progress during the years
that he has been with that institu-
ton. He is to be congratulated for
the splendid work he has done and
the county board of education is
deserving of commentator for show
ing their appreciation of his efforts
by electing him principal again.

by the results obtained that there
has been harmony in the class rooms
and the students have received the
fullest measure OF benefit 1t was not
long ago that the Lincoln High school
had no standing among other high
schools of the state, Today it stands
in the front ranks of accredited
high schools of Nevada.
An important feature of the train
ing given at the high school in the
past year was in the manual

ments. This was demonstrated recent.

the work of the students was dis

of furniture were shown which evi.

young ladies who were taught COOK,

good progress as did the boys over

PATRIOTISM AT CALIENTE

The people of Caliente, il seems,
are the only ones in Lincoln county
who have been active in patriotic
movements since war begun. STRAIT
ing with the Flag Day demonstration,
they have followed this up by taking
the initiative in the organization of
Red Cross chapter and the lady
members of the EXAMINATIONS have
already begun to make bandages and
other articles which will be of use
to the boys who are to go to the
firing line.
Caliente has taken the lead in all
these worthy movements; its people
are deserving of the fullest measure
OF credit; but is is to the shame of
every other community in the county
that has done nothing along these
lines. We believe that there are just
as patriotic people in other Lincoln
county towns, but they have been
slow to respond to the call of the
President of the United States to
enlist in an army of service to their
country Perhaps some have not
awakened to the seriousness of the
war situation. But there should be
Red Cross workers everywhere and
now that Caliente has taken the in
itiative and is entitled to the charter,
(only one being allowed in each coun-
ty), auxiliary organizations can be
formed and the work of good carried

camp is destined to be big producer
for many years to come.
An expert opinion of the camp is
given by the Mining and Financial
Record as follows.
"A feature well worth noting in
prevailing operations in the Cripple
Creek district is the large number OF
shafts that are being sunk to depth
in search of new ore bodies. There

results OF this sinking. since the veins

Existing conditions among the
mines of Cripple Creek, so far from
justifying the low prices at which
shares of the companies operating in
the district have lately been sold on
the Colo. Springs Stock exchange, are
such as to merit substantially higher
prices. There is not the faintest hint
that the camp is worked out, or that
it will not be fourishing many years
from now. Bodies of gold ore of vast
extent and tremendous value, lie dor
rant awaiting the coming of miners
and their drills.
Prominent mining men whose
business it is to be thoroughly posted
on the potentialities of Cripple Creek
have only lately shown their faith in
the district by investing hundreds OF
thousands of dollars in the huge In
dependence mill and other enterpris
es. For a lengthy period, extending
far into the future, the mines of Grip
