TUNNEL LAID OUT
RIG BODY OF COPPER
SULPHIDES DISCOVERED

w. w. Coleman just returned
from the Minnesot- Nevada Copper
Mines where he made a survey for a
transportation tunnel The tunnel
will be about one-half mile long
which will cut the great iron bodies
at a depth of almost 600 feet from
the surface. This tunnel will enable
the company to mine the iron ore at
a very small cost and will also cross
cut dixie OF copper bearing rock at
a depth of $50 feet This dixie is over
900 feet in width and shows good
copper ore on the surface.
Work has already been started on
transportation tunnel which will
also drain the mine OF its water.
Mr.. Coleman also reports the
company is erecting blast furnace
to manufacture pig iron out OF their
iron ore. He further states the Min
nesota has over one mile OF under
fround working which workings
have exposed large bodies OF ore.

seven miles from Carson, Justice
Ducker OF the Supreme court and
his son, Edward, had a remarkable
escape from death
The two were on their way to the
lake and the judge had permitted

little practice to manipulate thr
steering wheel. They had just made
one of the turns in the road, when
strip OF sand was encountered.
and the boy being unable to over
come its resistance, the machine wa,
forced to the outer edge of the road.
at point where a rock embankment
had been built up. The Judge threw
on the brakes and partially stopped
the movement of the machine, bu,
the bank began giving away and the
machine went over the side, straigh,
up and down, of about twenty fees
and turning two or three times be
fore it landed on clump of trees.

The commencement exercises eli
the Yerington High School took
place on Monday evening, Jnne 10.
The program was opened with My
Own Nevada sung by chorus OF
High School girls, then DR.. Dixon
delivered the invocation. The fol-
lowing numbers were surprise to
all present. 1t consisted oil two
selections Lullaby Baby and THE
Owl and The Pussy Cat sung by
a quintet OF girls, Mary Cox. Mar
earet Borge, Lorraine Ross, Mildred
Leavitt and Margaret Burns. The
girls were trained by Miss Elsie
Humphreys who deserves much
credit
Mayor Gelder then introduced the
speaker OF the evening, Gov Emmett
ID. Boyle, who began his address
by congratulating Yerington on the
artistic progress she had made u
the last few years. He touched
upon the League OF Nations, saying
it must be league OF nations, not
leagues OF nations, il the world was
not 10 repeat the horroJs OF the
last Jour years. The military stat
istics quoted during the course OF
the address were most interesting,
as were also the Nevada educational
statistics CoSernpr Boyle urged
the graduates TO patronize still fur
ther Nevada's educational institn-
ton. He stated that the University
OF Nevada had a larger percentage
OF her alumni III positions OF honor
than any other university in this
country. The address was very inter
esting and much appreciated by all.
The shovel WAS presented 10 the
incoming seniors by Harry Maxwell.
His talk was characterized by
iorcefulness OF delivery and clear cut
enunciation. Mary Cox accepted the
shovel on behalf OF the class ofl92O.

HIGHWAY CONTRACTS

7. w Wilson and John Ross OF this
city who placed bid for the section
of highway north OF Minden have
been notified that all the bids for
this work were rejected as being too
high and the contracts will be ad-
vertised again
The bidders feel that the states
estimate is too low as 10000 feet of
gravel must be hauled five miles,
none to fill the specifications being
found nearer, Such condition makes
it difficult to bid intelligently as the
states estimate was based on near
by gravel bed and that cannot be
found.
There has been difficulty in get
ting bidders ior all the highway con-
tracts because of the low estimates
made by the state office. Some
have been advertised several times
before anyone could be found to
undertake the work. There is con-
siderable dissatisfaction among tax
payers over the estimates because
the federal government contributes
one-half of the estimated cost and the
state and county have to pay the bal
ance which is always more than half
of the actual cost. sometimes as high
as 65 per cent of it on big contract.
The bidders are slow to put i'll bids
for the reason that they must of nee
essity greatly exceed the estimates
and people unfamiliar with labor and
transportation conditions are apt TO
accuse them OF boosting the price
because il is government work.

this project. The work will prob
ably start in July or August so the
road will be ready for use during

has proved so difficult i'll bad winter
weather. The roadway consists of
a fifteen loot graded bed, and two
