ANOTHER CANARD

Not content with the spreading OF
reports that the ore in the Divide En-
tension was not found on the bottom
level, and sending wires promiscuous-
ly over the country that many OF the
Divide properties would close down
soon, the unscrupulous traders who
are responsible for the deliberate
sending out false reports have added
another false alarm to frig 'lten invest
ors out of their stocks and thus allow
the shorts to cover at exceedingly
low prices.
The latest report is to the effect
that there will be another strike
pulled" within few days. This re-
port is unqualifiedly false. In care
ful canvas OF the men working il the
mills at Tonopah and Divide, there
has been noted an almost univer-
sal chorus OF satisfaction. True, there
are many members Of the |. w, w
at present in Tonopah, who are
chronic malcontents, but their in
nuence is gradually lessened until
they no longer believe in the promises
of their self-imposed leaders With
the company store in operation and
the reports coming in of the lowering
of the costs of the necessaries of life,
there is no occasion. as many of the
miners and millmen state for any feel
ing than of great satisfaction, and
they are proving it by adding daily to
the numbers enrolled in the newly
formed Miners and Millmen's Asso-
ciation.-Tonopah Miner.

A Prize Essay

Several excellent essays were
written by the students of the high
school on Our High School
The folio wing essay written by
Miss Faith White was awarded
FIRST prize.
High Schools give you start i'll
Life" is quotation one often hears.
Therefore If you go to good high
school, the better your start in life
will be-
Mineral County High School is one
of the best in Nevada 1t is located at
Hawthorne, where the climate is bet
ter than any other in the state. As
one learns in the General Science
course taught here. Walker Lake tenn
pers the climate and it is neither too
hot nor too cold here during the
school year to study
One great advantage is that in Haw-
thorne there is nothing to take stud
ent, in the evenings, away from his
studies. No picture shows, dances,
parties or anything along that order,
therefore one should be able to study
without interference.
But on Friday and Saturday nights,
one can always find something to do,
and during the spring, early summer
and autumn, there is hiking, hunting,
picnics, bathing and rowing and other
sports, so that the whole school year
is not taken up with study alone.
Our equipment is fine for SO young
high school, We have been told that
Our physics and chemistry laboratory
is one of the best in Nevada. and our
stage, with its lovely double set of
scenery and its classy brown velvet
curtain, makes one feel very proud, in
deed, of our school. Our piano also
| helps to give us some good times.
At the present time our athletic ap-
| paratus is not very we'll completed,
but it has been said that the shouting
and yelling at the last game of yolley
ball and the recent basketball games
reminded one OF the college football
| games. There are several of us, also.
| that will soon be experts at swinging
the Indian clubs.
For one wishing to take up com
| r,crcial course, there is no better place
| to do so than at the Mineral County
High School Book keeping spelling,
typewriting, penmanship and any
other commercial subject desired is
taught here also Gregg shorthand,
the fastest and best of all mchods, and
Spanish is taught with either Castil-
liam or Latin-American pronuncia-
ton permitted
Our history library is also very
good, considering that History has
only been taught three years.
Another thing of advantage here is
that every pupil can get individual
help from either of the two teachers
where. in larger high school a
student is able to recite about once a
week.
The large concrete basement is Just
the place for physical training or
rainy days or when there is too much
snow to go out side, and in the spring
there is great deal of fun gotten ou'
of the shower baths, one in each o.
the lavatories.
The. only thing that the Mincra
county high school really needs now
is more students. and when we ge
them, If they take an interest in tn,
school, we will make Mineral count,
high school the best in the state.
