PAY FOR TEACHERS

Many inquiries have been made
throughout the State as to whether
the teachers would be paid their
salaries during the present epidemic
period.
The District Attorney of Eureka
County is in receipt of an opinion on
the subject from the Attorney Cen
eral, as follows:
Under our Interpretation Of the
law, if the school is closed down for
80 days and then called in session for
one day. and then closed down for 80
days during the period of the cpl
demic or quarantine embraced there
under, the trustees may lawfully
pay. the teachers full salaries"
This seems but fair when so many
of the teachers are from distant
points and are under heavy expense
awaiting the chance to do the work
for which they are under contract.

THE INFLUENZA SITUATION

County Health Officer DR.. Bremen
states that the influenza situation in
Eureka is somewhat improved, al
though thedisease continues tospread
and a few cases are reported daily.
At present no one is reported as SER
iously ill. No new cases from near
by sections have been reported dur
ing the week.
The Eureka Theatre has been
granted permission to reopen the
first of the year, and it is thought
probable that if conditions continue
to improve the schools here may be
re-opened early in the New Year.
Most of the schools throughout the
State are now arranging to again re-
sumo work following the holidays.

DEATH OF FELIX MAGG|N|, JR.

Native Son of Eureka Dies of Influenza
at HE Home at San Jose, Cal.
A recent copy of a San Jose. Cali
fornia. paper announces the death in

He was a son Of Felix Maggini,
formerly a Eureka resident who
moved his family from here to San
Jose, where the deceased young man
was a member of the firm off. Mag
gini & Son, conducting a mercantile
business. The paper gave a most
commendable account of the deceased
as a citizen and a successful and pro-
gressive business man.
The young mans death was a sad
blow to his father, two brothers,
Constantine and Joseph. and a sister,
Mrs. H. J. Smith, all residents of

Mine Operated Below 5000 Level

Mine Operated Below 5000 Level
The greatest depth at which min
ing is now done on the Rand is 1884
feet vertical, equal to sea level. These
workings are on the main incline
from the Turf mines shaft of the
Village Deep. The South African
Mining Journal says that all the
natural obstacles to working at this
depth have been successfully over
come. The rock pressure proved
the chief trouble. but this has been
met by the special methods of sup
port adopted. The increased heat
has likewise been offset by adequate
ventilation. In regard to the value
of the ore exposed in development at
this depth it is interesting to note
that it is said to justify the favorable
anticipations by H. F. Marriott. re-
Gently published. Another feature
is the fact that the improved Whiting
hoists have worked most satisfactory
", thus considerably simplifying the
problem of winding at great depths"

the delay being caused by snow and
ice on the Garden Pass summit.
