a head. The tank will hold 800
gallons of dip.
-Four freight teams and two
motor tructs now are hauling
material for the vat, on which
twelve men are employed. 1t is
expected to have the plant ready
for operation early next week.
The plant is being built so it will
be available for use in later
years, if necessary.
A small tank will be built at
the stock yards in Grangeville.
In this tank 5000 lambs now in

PRAISE FOR LEWISTON.

A large number of the people
who attended the lewiston
Charleston fall fair, held at Lew
iston last week, from this imme-
diate section speak nothing but
praise for the fall fair staged in
our neighboring city. They
state the exhibits were first
class, and that the entertaining
features at the grounds were put
on with a vim and with only a
short intermission between the
various "stunts" staged every
day. A program with no life
is very tiresome and draws more
criticism from the crowd then
perhaps any other one thing at
doings of this kind.
While some overcharging was
done, in most cases things were
very reasonable. At gatherings
of this kind there are always a
few Sharks" who try to make a
fortune overnight by overcharg-
ing and 9 times out of 10 this is
done by outside people who fol-
low fairs from one city to
another.
According to a statement Civ.
en- out by the officials in charge
the attendance was the largest
in the history of the organiza-
tion.
The Chronicle is always will
ing to give praise where praise Is
due and according to the fair
visitors from this section the
Lewiston peope are entitled to it
in this case.

TEACHERS TO LEWISTON.

Owing to the fact that the
teachers of the Cottonwood Pub
lie school will attend the teach
ers institute at Lewiston next
week, school for the coming
week will be suspended. Some
of the teachers will leave Satur-
day morning while others will
depart Sunday. The institute
will be attended by approximate
ely 1000 teachers from Latah,
Idaho, Lewis, Clearwater and
Garfield county, Washington.
The central Idaho and South
eastern Washington Teachers
institute will have present some
of the most noted educators in
the United States and great pre-
parations are being made, for
this, one of the largest gather

in Idaho.
Lewiston is also making
great preparations to entertain
the teachers during the week

HOT LUNCHES POPULAR.

Through the efforts of Cot
tonwood's enterprising school
superintendent, VIM. A. Lustie.
hot lunches are being served
every noon at the school house
hv the domestic science class in
charge of Miss Harriet Hanson,
domestic science teacher. The
hot lunch plan was started Mon
day, September 20 and during
that week, 80 pupils were serv-
ed with hot lunches during the
noon hour.
At the present time one hot
drink with some other dish is
being served for sc dish, which
Just covers the cost of the same.
When cold weather sets in it is
the intention of Superintendent
Lustie to increase the number of
dishes to three, each dish cost
ing five cents. Those taking
advantage of the lunch system
are some Of the teachers, coun-
try students as we'll as students
who reside in town.
The lunch plan has worked
very successfully and is greatly
appreciated by the pupils who
attend school from the country
and does away entirely with the
cold lunch which they were re-
quired to bring to school before
the plan was inaugurated.

100000 DEAL.

Henry Luchtefeld, a young
farmer residing two miles north
of Cottonwood sold his highly
improved farm of 800 acres to
Dominic Duclos for $1O0 an acre
Monday. The land purchased
by Mr.. Duclos from his brother
in-law is a very choice piece of
property. Mr.. Luchtefeld has
no plans for the future at the
present time but it is rumored
that should he leave Cottonwood
he will take with him one of the
city's fair young ladies. Whether
this rumor is without founda-

TO GO HUNTING.

Hunting parties now seem to
be the fad. On Monday a party
of hunters composed of Tom
Parker, Harvey Miller, Everett
and Art Rhoades and Fet
Rhoades will leave for the high
mountains in the Selway coun-
try where they expect to get the
limit allowed by the law in the

FLORENCE DRIVING
LONG CROSSCUTS
COST OF COMPLETING SOUTH
EAST CROSSCUT ESTIMATED
AT $4,000

The Florence southeast crosscut
has been driven ISL feet from the
face of the main drift on the 500
foot level and the west crosscut on
this level has been advanced 2S4
feet into the hanging wall of the
vein. The southeast working will
be continued to a short distance
west of the old Aurelia lease shaft
and then turned south into the
leased Golconda claim of the Red
Hill. making total distance of
1900 feet.
A direct cnarge of $3.50 per foot
is being made against the work in
both crosscuts, which with over
head expense, will bring the charge
to So 1t is estimated that 1t will
cost not less than<s15. 200 to COM

The west crosscut will have to
be driven well over 400 feet Ato
reach the boundary line of the
leased Combination No. 2 claim of
the Development company and it
will be extended well into the
claim before drifting is started.

BELMONT WORKING
WITH FULL CREW

The Tonopah Belmont Develop
ment company is the first OF the
operating companies in the Tonopan
district to report resumption OF
activities at something like the nor
NAL scale When the miners voted
two weeks ago to return to work,
many of the old working force Of
the Belmont mine reported for
work, and since then their numbers
have been increased until there is
now a sufficient force underground
to permit of one full shift being
operated.
Since that time, the operating
force at the big local mill has been
put back to work on the product
from the mine, and the small mill
which was erected several years ago
to treat the "sweepings" from the
cyanide tailings ponds of the Bel
mont, Extension and other conf
panies is working full blast.
Superintendent Royston. in charge
of mill operations at both the local
plants of the Belmont, stated yes
terday that the tailings mill has
sufficient material on hand at the
present time to keep it working "A
hours per day for the next month,
and in the meantime the leasers on
the tailings ponds are arranging for
the delivery of their product as fast
as trucks and teams can haul it to
the mill

GOOD ATTENDANCE
AT MINES SCHOOL
IN PRESENT TERM.
LITTLE DOUBT THAT COUNTY
WILL APPROPRIATE MONEY
FOR SUPPORT

Fourteen pupils are now attend
ing the Goldfield School of Mines
out of 81 who registered during the
first month and the present term
promises to show a continued good
attendance. The school, one of
four in the state, was opened in
June, 1917, and during that time
lis pupils have registered and six
have completed courses in one or
more subjects. The fact that only
six have completed courses is far
from a fair indication of the value
the institution has been to the men
of the district and the mining in
dustary here. as many of the pupils
have stopped attending the school
after gaining ample knowledge OF
their subjects to be of great value
to them. Unsettled conditions in
mining in the past in this district
and the war have largely been re-
sponsible for the few men who have
completed courses and with more
men employed in the future in the
large-scale operations planned by
the Development and Florence COM
panies the school will be of pro-
portionately greater value to the
/, community.
One of the present pupils has
been attending the school practic-
ally continuously since December,
1917. and three others have been
attending for over year.
After December 81, 1920. Es-
meralda county will be called upon
to appropriate money for. the sup
port OF the school in conjunction
with the state and federal govern
ments and while there Is reported
to be some objection to maintaining
the institution here after that date
because of the expense involved 1t
is believed this can readily be over
come with aid of the mining in
| terests and there Is little doubt that
Goldfield will retain the school. II
is pointed out that the cost to the
county for maintaining the School
of Mines will be less than the an
nual salary of one teacher in the
! high school or grades and that with
the Importance now attached to
secondary schools Goldfield cannot
we'll afford to lose the institution it
/ fought to secure, particularly in
view of the revival in mining that
promises to bring from 500 to 500
more men into the district within
the next year.

IMPORTANT FIND IS

FREE GOLD VISIBLE IN QUARTZ
FOUND IN SURFACE
TRENCH
BY JAMES F. O'BRIEN.

LOVELOCK, New, Oct. 16.-The
new ore discovery which was made
last week on what appears to be
the main vein of the many fissures
and cross fractures that traverse
the ground of the Nevada Honey
Bee company at Loring Is showing
up fine under development and it
promises to prove find of consid-
erable Importance. A trench 15
feet long, which reaches a depth of
five or six feet, has been run and
it all shows vein matter, with
neither wall in sight. Much free
gold is visible in the live-looking
quartz and more of it which shows
no gold at all produces numerous
colors of coarse gold on being
panned. Even the loose dirt at this
point pans well.
At other places on this vein ore
showing bromide of silver has been
found and the results are so encour-

two cars of equipment from the old
Darby mill at Seven Troughs and
it is now on the road to the COM
pany's property at the old camp OF
UniOnville, which is about ID
miles northeast of Loring. This
will be used in the 50-ton amalga-

erected, to feed which Mr.. Spiker
says there is now blocked $500
worth of ore which averages better
than $40 per ton.

sidelines and is down the hill from
the old Arizona mine. which has pro-
duced millions. The production of
the Arizona comes from blanket
vein in a lime formation, but the
Unionville comes from fissures in
a. rhyolite formation. There are
five fissure veins on the Union

GOVERNMENT SUPPORT
FOR WAR MINERALS
IS ADVOCATED
MANY CAN BE PRODUCED PROF
ITABLY WITH GOVERN
MENT AID

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 21.-
The enormous and distressful losses
sustained by the men who responded
to the nations call for help when
war material was necessary. resulted
in the calling of a national confer
ence of producers of war materials
in Washington, December, 1918, for
the purpose of asking relief through
legislation.
AS result of this conference
there was passed by congress-
war minerals relief BILL" limited
to the payment of $8,500,000 to-
ward claims which might be ac-
cepted by the secretary of the In
terror as resulting from investments
! legitimately incurred under the con-
ditions above named
In the passage of the bill all war
minerals-except manganese, py-
! rites, tungsten and chrome-were
eliminated from consideration, and

| Since the passage of the So
called "relief bill" and an attempt
to administer the same under
special commission appointed by the
secretary of the interior. the attor-
ney general of the United States
has handed down an Interpretation
+, of the measure, the terms OF which
have been SO construed as to prac-
tically eliminate 75 per cent of the
claimants who laid their cases be-
! fore the government.

The delay in making operative the
war minerals bill which would have
allowed the government to partici-
pate in the development of these
substances, prevented the bureau
of mines from carrying out as well
organized program of government
encouragement; made impossible the
completion of agreements and en-
couagement promised to the war
minerals producers by the agents
of the government, and, eventually,
through the signing of the armis-

dition through the failure of the
various government war agencies to

men who sacrificed time and for
, tunes in responding to the govern
ment's appeal, found themselves
facing an unfortunate condition of
collapse and failure for which the
government disclaimed any respon-
sibility.
