WILSON CANYON ROUTE
APPROVED

The following letter is of interest
to our readers;
Mr.. c. E. Hemingway,
Yerington, Nevada,
Dear MIR. Hemingway
am pleased to state that
we are just in receipt of notification
from the Secretary of Agriculture
that he has approved the Wilson Can
yon road project, which makes avail
able the sum of $32,957.65 as the "a
mount the Federal Government will
contribute to this work.
Should war conditions not interfere
we can advertise for bids on this work
as soon as our plans are complete, the
rights of way secured, and the approv-
al obtained of the Federal Govern
ment on our plans and specifications.
The surveys are all complete and just
as soon as we can get the plans finish
ed we will present them to the FEEDER
al Government for approval. Two OF
our Office men have lately left our en-
ploy and just now we are very short
of men for this work with but little
prospect of making a replacement,
however, we are rushing everything
just as fast as possible. Negotia-
tons with the Federal Government
are always little slow.
Through you we wish to extend
our thanks to all those who aided us
in making proper presentation to
the Federal authorities that this pro-
ject might be approved. Until its
approval was announced it looked
very doubtful.
Yours very sincerely,
C.C.Cottrell,
State Highway Engineer.

WILLIAM BOYLE
DIES IN CALF.

One OF our old-time mining men
answered the last call at San Diego,
California on June /, according to
word received by Mrs. Mcintyre, an
old family friend. Mr.. and Mrs. Boyle
left Yerington some years ago, gong
to Oatman, Arizona, where they pros
pered. Very recently they disposed
of their Oatman holdings and went
to the coast, stopping first in Los
Angeles and going to San Diego just
a few days before Mr.. Boyle's death.
Deceased had not been in good
health for some time, having under
gone an operation about year ago
A second operation was resorted to
in the hope of saving him, but it was
of no avail. After nearly week OF
illness death ensued. The funeral
and burial were conducted at San Di-
ego. Mrs. Boyle survives her hus-
band.
Their many friends in this sect
ion will be grieved to hear of his go
ing for he was a genial whole-souled
gentleman, friend worth having.

MINING SCHOOL
ESTABLISHED

Glasses were started Monday even.
ing at the County High School build
ing under thS direction of Prof. F. c.
Lincoln, who is Director Of the Mack
ay School of mines at the University
OF Nevada.
The school established at Yerington
is provided for by State and Federal
laws, and is maintained at no cost to
those wishing to take advantage OF
the opportunity to learn. The stu
dents of course are to buy those books
that are necessary. but they are their
own personal property.
Like other mining extension schools
OF this state the only requirement for
entrance is that he or she know how
to read and write the English lang
uage. This makes the field for at
tendance very wide but the primary
idea in putting these schaals through
ont the state is to give everyone an
equal opportunity to derive benefit
from them.
This school is to be at ferington
for period OF three months and if,
at the end of that time, the registra-
,tion warrants it, it will remain here
another three months period
Glasses are now held in the Chem
istry room OF the County High School
building from 7 to 9 pm. The work
at present is covering chemical form
ulas, and physical geology. These
are preparatory to a course in determ-
ination OF minerals by blowpipe anal
ysis
1t is intended TO hold classes in the
afternoons from to 40 pm. for any
students who can come at that time.
If you will just make your wants
known, arrangements can be made to
.tudy nearly any of the subjects that
p<rtain TO the mining industry.
Come and talk il over anyway, there
may be some part that you want but
are backward about it because the
school is something new to the dis
trict
The other schools are working Oh
such subjects as .Minerolegy, Chemis-
NY NItoibSS. ~ plduShlIliS, Dul Wy itrs
Analytical Chemistry. Fire AssaYng,
Wet Assaying. Arithmetic. Algebra
Trigonometry, etc. This new school.
OF course, is not equipped to do all
these but am sure there is some
thing you will derive benefit from
that can be done.
Practically all the work is done in
the class room and no lessons are as
signed to be done outside, altho any
student can do all he cares to do out
side of school
You can find the Principal at the
High School building each afternoon
except Saturday and Sunday,

ROOFING OUT THE
LAND HOG

With evident approval the Recla-
nation Record, issued by the Depart
ment of the Interior, reports in its
April number:
The land hog in England these days
is surely up against it. Local anthor-
tiles have been given power to en-
ter upon any lands not being used for
the growing of foodstuffs and let
plots at nominal figure or free in
certain cases to persons who are will
ling to work it.
Then the Reclamation Record pro-
duces figures showing that this meas
ure has brought into use. $4,000 acres
that would have otherwise remained
idle, upon which crops have beer
grown to the value OF $l5,00O, 600.
After which it asked:
Who will be the first statesman i'll
Congress, to interest himself in work
ing out law to permit similar de-
velopement of the unused lands in
and about our cities?
We respectfully call tie attention
OF the Reclamation Record to Con-
grescman Robert c. Crosser, of Ohio,
who introduced bill long ago which,
if passed, would not only have per-
mitted q similar development OF un-
used lards. but would have stimulat
cd much more Mr. Crosser's bill pro
vided for raising of S2,000,000,00O rev
enue by tax on land values. That
would have made it Improbable to
hold land out OF use that should be
devoted to growing OF crops or any
other useful purpose. 1t would not
only have put an end to all danger OF
Z food shortage, but would have slim
ulated building and thus solved the
housing difficulty which has given
the government so much trouble wher
ever creation of war industries has
brought in extra workers.
But Congress preferred to increase
postage rates, TO put a tax on the
spre"d OF intelligence, to add to the
blrdens OF the travelling public, to tax
theatre goers, telephone and telegraf
users and to lay heavy additional
burdens on industry. Mr.. Crosser
was left to make his fight almost a
lone. His bill still slurnbcrs in a pig
con hole of the Ways and Means
Committee When will the Depart
ment OF the Interior begin to inter
est itself sufficiently in this measure
to help enactment OF law TO per
NIT development of unused lands in
and about our cities and elsewhere
