DERRICK LOOKS
FOR MANGANESE
ASSOCIATE OF SAM NEwHOUSE
PREDICTS ADVANCE IN
PRICE

Reports to the effect that the
Louisiana Consolidated Mining COM
pany will receive a substantial addi-
tion of capital from the advent of
Sam Newhouse we're strengthened
with the arrival of Joseph Dedrick,
a mill builder now a resident of Los
Angeles, but who was identified with
the most important mill construc-
tion of Utah during the past 90
years, says a Tonopah letter. He
built the Saltair pavilion and also
was associated with Sam Newhouse
when the latter awarded a contract
for the construction of a million
dollar mill at the town of Newhouse.
near Frisco, Utah.
Mr.. Dedrick is interested in the
st. Anthony Mining company of
Goodsprings. New, which is increas-
ing it's shipments of copper ore, but
his chief interest at present is in
finding a big manganese property,
as he represents one of the largest
buying concerns on the coast hat
is now considering an offer of a
property in the vicinity of Casa
Grande. AriZ.
According to preliminary reports
this manganese discovery extends
over a distance of six miles but, as
there has not been anything more
than surface prospecting it is i'm
possible to tell whether the deposit
possesses any commercial value. Mr..
Dedrick looks for the price of man
ganese to go as high as 81 or even
$3.50 a unit for a 40 per cent de-
livery, compared with the prevailing
price of $1.40 a unit. At this rate
manganese carrying 80 per cen can
be made a paying proposition.
The demand will last only dur
ing the war for the reason that the
American demand is to meet the de-
ficiency caused by the shortage of
tonnage available for bringing ores
from South America and Cuba, from
which ports the ore can be landed
in this country in normal times at
81 freight, which would preclude
western shipments. However, the
visitor does not anticipate an early
conclusion of hostilities and is in
the market for manganese proper
ties wherever they can be found.

STATE HEAD PAYS
VISIT TO SCHOOLS
COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
WILL BE HELD HERE
ON JUNE II

John Edwards Bray, state super
intendent of schools, paid his an
rual visit to the Goldfield schools
yesterday. The superintendent has
been through the eastern and south
ern parts of the state and left this
morning for the north. He is ac-
companied by Mrs. Bray.
superintendent Bray spent yes
terday morning in the Sundog
school and visited the high-school
in the afternoon.
In the high-school he made a
splendid talk to the students, tell
ing of his experiences in his trip
through the state and of the pat
riotism he found everywhere. The
superintendent is noted as an elo-
ouent speaker, but surpassed his
previous efforts here yesterday in
a Commute talk and explained to
the boys and girls in a thorough
manner the meaning of the war
and how autocratic government is
exemplified in the central empires
and the democratic form by the
allied nations and the United States,
although some of the allied nations
are ruled by kings.
The commencement exercises of
the Goldfield high-school will be
held June IA in the Exchange thea
ter and final examinations will be
started June Z. There are nine
pupils in the senior class this year,
eight girls and one boy.
This year the state examinations
will be given in the eighth grade
graduating class from the Sundog
school, the examinations starting
June A and ending June 10. The
final grade for the year will be
based on the examinations as
counting one-third and the general
average for the year t%wo-thirds.
The giving of the state examina-
tons is not required by school
regulations and is left to the dis
erection of local school officials.
Early in June the senior class of
the high-school will present a play,
mfr. X" a one-act farce that will
require 45 minutes to present. The
play will be given in the Exchange
theater and the proceeds will be
used to defray expenses of the COM
mencement exercises, any amount
remaining going to the Junior Red
Cross.

PRAISES
PROPERTY AT TYPO
MINING MAN HAS GOOD
OPINION OF LOUISIANA
CONSOLIDATED

Sam Newhouse, the noted mine
maker of Utah, who spent three
days 1t the old camp of Typo, in
speeding the properties of the
louisiana Consolidated company
returned from that camp last night
and will leave for the east this
morning. He expects to return
here again in the near future and
devote more time to mining in this
section. Mr.. Newhouse stated last
night that his opinion is unchanged
regarding the mine; that it looks
just as good to him as it did on
his previous visit here several weeks
ago.
81 believe that the Typo will
make one of the largest mines Ne
vada has ever had" Mr.. Newhouse
said, land since my former visit
they have opened up four new
slopes, all of which show very high
grade milling ore and some ship
ping ore.
THE Crosby stope and that part
OF the Typo vein in which the Cros-
by stope has been made is a mine
in itself. 1t is a high-grade body
of milling ore 300 feet long, as far
as can be seen, and at the point
where the stope has been made the
Gre shows a full width of 10 feet

PLATINUM OUTPUT Is
SHORT OF REQUIREMENTS

According to figures compiled by
j.. NJ. Hill of the United States geo.
logical survey, only COS ounces of
crude platinum was sold by placer
mines in 1917. This is less than
the sales in 1916 by about 100
ounces. The imports of crude plati-
mum amounted to 1921 ounces, not
counting the $1,000 ounces of Rus
sian crude platinum which was re-
ceived by the government late in
December.
During 1917 refiners made about
$4,000 ounces of platinum, $4,000
nee of palladium, S33 ounces of
osmiridium and 210 ounces Cf iri-
dunn, which can be called "new
metals" OF this amount about
$4,000 ounces probably originated
from domestic materials.
The saving of scrap platinum of
all classes resulted in much larger
recovery of secondary platinum met
ais than in previous years, a total
of $4,000 ounces being recovered, as
compared with $4,000 ounces in
1916.

to the unfortunate conditions that
work to the disadvantage of the
rural school. Many such schools
are so isolated and the pupils of
these are so small in number that
it is almost impossible to give these
schools many advantages that the
other children enjoy. Consolida-
ton is out of the question owing
to the great distance between the
schools and the clubs are asked to
study the problem and if possible
find a solution for the same.
Clubwomen were also urged to
assist in Americanizing the foreign
ers in their midst. In several
schools of the state, where there is
a large foreign population many of
the children below the fourth grade
cannot speak a word of English. In
one of these schools there were IS
children who could not speak a
word of English. In the homes of
these children no word of English
is ever spoken and the women's
clubs can do much toward Ameri-
canizing the home life of these
children. Many serious difficulties
that confront the government today
could have been avoided had the
home of the foreigner been Ameri-
canized.
The attention of club women
vas also called to the necessity of
good roads. In time of war they
are indispensable. The fate of an
army often depends on the condi-
ton of the nearby roads, so that
ell women are urged to use their
influence toward the improvement
of roads and to assist III Lincoln
Highway chairman in every way
possible. Planting of trees along
the roads is the particular work
Of the club women and our chair
man, Mrs. Maud Gassoway, deserves
great praise for the work she has
accomplished along this line.

The following notes will be the
last ones of the season as the vari-
Gus clubs are closing up their
work for a well deserved vacation.
At this particular time it is we'll
to call the attention of the clubs
and the public at large to the needs
OF the Student Loan Fund and the
increased demands that have been
made upon it since we entered the
war. Since the Federation meeting
held in Goldfield 25 students have
received assistance from the fund.
TO these students s40O9.0O has
been loaned and of hat amount
$~1557.00 has been paid back leav-
ing a balance due of $2452.0O.
Several who have enlisted are in
debt to the fund, and that money
cannot be returned for some time
to come.
Many girls have been obliged to
seek aid because brothers who had
been helping them through school
have been drafted. Again the
allowance of each applicant has had
to be increased owing to the high
cost of living. so the individual de-
mand in many cases has been
practically doubled.
President Wilson and Secretary
of War Baker have both sent out
urgent appeals for the need of
higher education claiming that it
was never more reeded than now.
SO in this sense the Student Loan
Fund assumes great Importance as
a war measure. 1t is up to the
clubs and the people at large to do
all in their power to enlarge the
fund so that every boy and girl who
is anxious to complete his or her
education may be assured of suffi-
Gent funds for the purpose.
Miss Emma VANDERBILT, chair
man of the Student Loan, has now
taken up her permanent residence
at 437 South Center street, Reno.
Any further information on the
subject can be secured by commun-
icating with her.
At the Lovelock federation meet
ing there were many interesting
problems and topics of study that
were suggested for future study
and action of the clubs. These top

possible the boys and girls clubs
of the state, particularly the war
