The Cornforth property at Belle

preponderance.-Tonopah Bonanza.

section from now on. Prospectors
are busy there and it is understood
that good showings of ore are being
made.
Lee Case, Earl Williams and
Vernon Bell have a fine vein opened
and are extracting ore for shipment.
At the present time they have over
% tons of ore out and expect to
make a carload shipment during the
next ten days. The ore, 1t is said.

NOTED CATCHER
VISITING HERE
TUB SPENCER IN GOLDFTELD ON
WAY TO TRAINING
QUARTERS

Ed (Tub) Spencer. catcher for
the Detroit American league base
ball team, is visiting for a few
days with his brother, C. w. Spen-
Ger. baggage master of the T. & c.,
before departing for the Detroit
training grounds at W~axalachie.
Texas, where he will have charge of
the training of the Tigers recruit
pitchers for the 1917 season.

last aso with the Vernon team

ticipated in II games, with a bat
ting average of 261. He played in
10 games with the Tigers in the
latter part of the season, hitting
at the terrific clip CT $40, and at
the end of the season showed third
in American league batting aver
ages. His fielding average with
Detroit was :S7.
During the winter clJnths he
has been engaged in coaching the
Santa Clara college team and will
arrive at the Texas training quar-
ters in mid-season form. During

Last year was not Spencer's first
season among the big timber and

Fire Station Bill Discussed

A public meeting will be held in
Reno for the purpose of t%hreshing
out the objections of south-side
residents to the bill authorizing the
sale of the south-side fire station by
the city. A bill authorizing the
sale was prepared some time ago,
but a protest signed by south-side
residents halted it's introduction. A
rumor that the station building may
be turned into a laundry is under
stood to be the cause of objection
to the bill.

TwO-Nlile Errors i'm Survey

Mistakes in placing survey stakes
two miles from their proper posi-
ton have been discovered by gov
eminent surveyors now surveying
two and one-half townships in and
around Indian Springs. The first
survey of the district was made in
1880, shortly after the overrunning
of the country with settlers, pros
pectors and travellers. That survey
and others since resulted in great
errors and in some cases three diff
ferent people have filed on the same
piece of homestead land with three
different section numbers given.
Confusion and uncertainty of title
has resulted.

ANESE REQUIREMENTS
(By Associated Press. J

Seoul, Korea. Feb. 12.-Ameri-
can missionaries in Kcrea and Japan
are de ply interested in the an
nouncement that the missionaries of
the American Southern Methodist
in Korea have decided to
recommend to their home board that
the schools under their direction he
raorganized so as to conform to the
new japanese educational require
ments. The essential provision of
the new ordinanc is the discontinu-
ance of religious teaching or cere-
lconies as part of the school curri-
eHlum. The ordinance stipulated
that the private schools should con-
form within ten years.
The step taken by the mission
marks the beginning of a new epoch
for Christian education in Korea. II
means that on approval by the hcme
board the well-known missionary
school at Songdc and the other
schols belnging to this mission will
seperate education from religion,
and will not teach the Bible or the
tenets of Christianity during the rec
ular school hours. One school in Ko-
rea. the Paichai Haktang, conducted
by the Northern Methodists, has al.
ready conformed tc the regulations
but no steps on such large scale as
that now proposed by the southern
mission have yet been taken. 1t is
understood that the Southern Meth.
odist Mission Board in the United
States will meet in May If il ap
proves the recommendation the
changes will be put into effect i'm
uediately.

FRENCH HIDEIN WOODS TO
AVOID MILITARY DUTY

Paris. Feb. 12.-Tricks to avoid mil
itary duty have been varied rather
than numerous during the war. The
most recent stratagem is that OF two
shirkers. unknown to each other. who
hid in woods to escape service. One
of them. a man named Souleillon. 81
years old. remained concealed from
beginning of hostilities In order to
avoid the mobilization order. His
father dyin. Souleillon came out OF
hiding to lay claim to his parents es-
tate. An alert gendarme at Cahors
took him into custody. reminding him
that. before being an heir. he had to
be a soldier.
The second case was that of Alfred
Rous. who took refuge in the forest OF
Reynaldes. He he built himself a
comfortable cabin with stones. branch
es and tiles. Behind his lodging
place he installed an oven TO bake
bread. Possessing a rifle. two pistols
and much ammunition. Rouse hunted
