SILVER SHIELD MINE
IN REAL H|GH-GRADE

Three carloads of visitors who have
recently returned to Tonopah from
the Nevada Silver Shield mine at
Jefferson Canyon describe the prcD-
erty as the greatest highgrade mine
in the state, says the Tonopah Bon
ANA. The party included DR.. J. l..
Mccarthy, J. b. Witt, Ralph Witt, j.
Murphy r. L. Colburn. George Dur
gan. George Quigley, George Sheldon,
Clyde Johnson and Charles w. Taylor.
They brought back samples that run
from 600 to 5000 ounces and George
Quigley carried a box of talcy stuff
and ruby silver that had values of
better than a dollar a pound. Last
week the company had twenty-five
sacks of highgrade ready for ship
ment and when the Tonopah party ar
rived the pile had grown to eighty
six sacks. An early shipment will
have to be made as the management,
most of whose members were identi-
fled with the Goldfeld boom, know
it does not do to have much of that
kind of riches lying around outside
a safe deposit vault. Nothing has
been settled about treatment and it is
believed that pending a decision of
the metallurgists that the sacked
ore will be placed with one of the
local banks for safe keeping. Esti-
mates by r. L. Colburn. finder of
the Red Top, one of the famous high
grade mines of early Goldfeld, credit
the company with $4,000 tons of $50
to $40 ore in sight between the first
and second levels.

WEALTH AND EDUCATION

You have heard before of the handicap wealth may be to the young; it
as m ancient educator who pointed out that there is n o royal road to
knowledge. This idea is echoed by the president of Leland Stanford uni
versfty. He has issued a warning to parents that too much money is not
only likely to ruin the pupils chances of an education, but to cause him M
end Of trouble while in school, for the spending ofm money leads to the viola
ton Of the rules of selfgoverning the student body has adopted for itself,
and the pampered plutocrat who seeks o make his college curse a train
ing in high living is destined to have several varieties o. grief to offset his
pleasure.
And what applies % this institution holds good in other seats IF higher
learning. 1t is wei. for the student to nave enough if the family fortunes
permit it, but to give more than that is to encourage folly at al age when
it is readily learned, and has unusual opportunities for extending itself The
young a cannot be mastering the classics and the gay life at the same
time without neglectng one of them and it needs no keen judge of youthful
human nature to determine which On is most likely to be neglected.

SCHOLARS
HAVE MODEL COURT

1.-THE verdict of tie court is that
you be confined in the cell for fifteen
days, lose 500 credits, forfeit your
office, and make an apology to the
officers of the republic and TO the
victim of your assault" was the YER
dict rendered by the judge of the re-
public of the industrial school on one
of the boys who had violated one of
their rules, says the Elko Free Press.
The industrial school has an organi-
cation of the boys, who have taken
out of the hands of the superintend-
ent. the enforcement of the rules of
the institution. They call it the RE
public of the Elko Industrial School, ="
organized on a plan of the state gov
eminent, and have a full set OF Off
GERS, among them being a court, with
Judge, prosecuting attorney, etc, be-
fore whom are brought all ~violators.
Last week the sheriff of the republic
got into trouble with one of the other
boys, and instead of doing his duty
as an officer and stopping the r%uction.
with a box and for a time the boys
skull was thought to be fractured and
a doctor was called. Without con-
sulting the superintendent the other
boys took the sheriff and popped him
into the cell, and called court to sit
in judgment. A jury of boys rendered
its verdict as above.

morning. February 81, 1919, lacking
but three days of bein GO years of age
at the time Of her death. When but
mere child of three years the de-
parted came with her parents to Can
ada. Some four years later the fam
lily again moved directly to Iowa,
where they settled on a farm near
Earlville. They lived here about
nine years, when they purchased and
moved to the farm one mile east of
Delhi, now occupied by Frank Jack
son, a nephew. February 3, 1869 Miss
Jackson was married to Allen Haight,
in the Methodist church at Delhi. To
this union were born ten children
seven sons and three daughters, all
Of whom are living and were present
at Delhi to pay their last respects to
good mother, except Albert and
Perry of Canada, who were unable to
be present. The children are, Arthur
l.. and James ]. of Ryan, Frank E. Of
Oneida, Charles E.. Albert F. and Har-
vey L., of Hanley, Perry W. of Ha-
warden, and Mrs. J. w. Tarlton of
Swift Current, all five in the Province
of Saskatchewan, Canada; Mrs. Rilla
Towne, of Cedar Rapids and Mrs.
Charles Neal of Delhi. Mr.. and Mrs.
Haight continued to reside near Del
hi until 1880, when they moved to
farm near Ryan. Here and in the
vicinity of Ryan they had spent the re-
mainder of their 80 years of married
life together. The 3rd of this month
marking fifty years of welded life, the
occasion was most fittingly celebrated
at their home. Mrs. Haight joined the
United Brethren church near Earl
vile at IA years of age. On moving
to the vicinity of Delhi she became
Unidentified with the Methodist church
of that place from which she trans
ferred her membership to the Meth
odist church at Ryan in accord with
her later residence at that place.
With this communion she retained her
membership up to the time Of her
death. The deceased wife and mother

it had been troubling her for many
months and possibly year or two,
that not even those nearest and dear
est to her suspected the seriousness
of her trouble up to within two weeks
Of her death. Physicians were called
into consultation and an immediate
operation was deemed necessary, not
only for her recovery of health, but
even to save her life. Consequently
on Tuesday of last week she was TAX
en- to Mercy hospital at A4amosa,
where upon Wednesday the operation
was performed and from which she
seemed to rally successfully. Even
up to Friday morning her condition
appeared most satisfactory, but with
out warning a sudden change took
place and she quietly and peacefully
slipped into the life beyond She was

moment and assured her dear ones
that she knew the worst and was
ready to 60 when the Master called.
1t is a most remarkable fact that this
is the first death in so large family
father, mother, seven sons and three
daughters, thirty-one grandchildren
and one great-grandchild. Besides her
own immediate family, the departed
leaves in life one brother, James jack
son of Carroll, one sister, Mrs. Eliza
Pulver, and sister-in,law, Mrs. Clara
jackson, who has been as an own
sister, both of Delhi. While the sud
den departure Of this dear one brings
great sorrow and loneliness to the
husband with whom she has trodden
life's pathway for more than fifty
years, and heavy hearts to her sons
and daughters who have grown up to
call her blessed, yet her imprint will
live on with mighty influence
through her posterity and the memory
of mothers faith and mothers love
can but inspire all to nobler deeds
and more fruitful lives. In her de-
parture, the community has lost a real
friend, true neighbor and a patriotic
citizen. A loving woman, devoted
wife, a loving mother has gone into
the Upper Room and beckons her great
family to follow, as they too shall be
called one by one. The funeral rites
were held at the Delhi Methodist
church Monday. February oath at II
o'clock, the service being in charge
of the Rev. L. D. Stubs, pastor, and
pastor of the deceased; the Rev. Her
bert T. Chenoweth of the Ryan Meth
odist church offered PRAYER at the
home of Mrs. Clara Jackson. to which
the remains were previously brought,
and delivered comforting sermon at
the church. Three most appropriate
selections Of music were rendered by
a quartette. Interment was made in
the Delhi cemetery. Xxx.
