Hope They Return

Miss Purcell and Miss Lowery,
teachers in our grammar school, have
declined to accept reapponitment as
teachers here for the next term. for
the reason that one or two parents OF
children are making their positions
most distasteful to them, those par
-rnts demanding that the system of
teaching be changed to suit their
views.
1t is doubtful ii there are more capa-
Bile teachers in the State than the
ladies who are now teaching here.
They are trained instructors. have had
years of practical experience, and the
children are devoted-to them. Miss
Purcell particularly has specialized in
her work. Size spends her Summer
vacations keeping up with the most
modern and improved methods.
1t is hoped they will reconsider
their refusals to teach another>term,
and that they will return after the
Fall vacation

Masonic Mine
Has Rich Ore

II was reported last week that the
Cheung lease in the camp OF Ma
sonic had uncovered another chute OF
high-grade that ran about 5000 to the
ton. Superintendent MacNamara
asked c. NJ. Keeley. who is hauling
the ore to Sweetwater, from which
place trucks haul it to. Minden Tor
shipment to the smelter. to put on
four or six horses and get the road
well broken and cleared of snow SO
that they could &c, the ore out as
quickly as possible.
The average ore in the lease, that
is being shipped, runs about $3.50 a
ton. There in an unknown quantity
of this grade OK ore and perhaps 200
sacks OF it are now awaiting ship
ment.
Supt MacNamara is putting on men
as fast as conditions will permit and
it viii not be surprising If, by May,
there will be at least 100 men work
ing and perahps $50 on this lease.
There is quite little talk about
activities that are to start on some of
the other proven properties in the
camp-the pittsburgs Seretta, New
York and Jumped Up Joe High val
ues have been taken from all these
property and there is no reason to
believe that they will not develop into
just as good mining proposition as
the Cheung
A great many of the prospectors in
the camp have been getting very good
assays from surface showings and it
all points to the fact that Masonic is
at last going to receive the recogni-
ton that she deserves. When you see
the ore and know that returns are
being received by leasers, there is no
use OF saying that the ore does not
exist
