MURRAY SAYS ORE FINDS
GOOD At THE MORNING mine

The finding of good ore on the 22O(
foot level of the Morning, mine, re.
ported earlier in the week, has beer
confirmed by Manager Mike Murray
He said that 80 feet from the main
shaft the large ore body, which on
the 1000 level is 40 feet wide in
places and 14OO feet long, had been
cut, and after being developed for
eight feet, still shows no indication
OF having been thoroughly explored.
The ore is said to be the cleanest
ever found in the mine, being practic-
ally free from zinc, and high in lead
and silver, says the Wallace Press
Times.
The four compartment main shaft,
sump and station were completed on
August Is, and the crosscut started
which resulted in the recent discovery,
after only 80 feet had been cut. Two
rounds have been fired into the vein.
and the face is still in ore, the man
ager said.

Through the efforts of E. w. Port
er, Mrs. Anna o. Trou, of this place,
has been granted pension of $50
per month with back pay amounting
to about $500, says the Juliaetta
Record. Mr.. Trout was veteran of

raj times during he conflict. He died
in February 1919, since which ime Mr..
Porter has been working to establish
Mrs. Trout's right to the pension.
Certain evidence demanded by the
pension department was difficult to
obtain requiring in one or two in
stances, the looking up of evidence to
establish to the satisfaction of the
department. certain facts relative to
the case which occurred 40 years ago.
Much of the evidence was widely scat
tered with little or no information to
start with but after constant work the
missing evidence was finally linked up
and Mr.. Porter was informed in let
ter from Congressman French last
Saturday that his efforts had been
successful and the pension sought had

FINANCIAL REPORT
DEVELOPS FEATURES
COUNTY AUDITOR QUOTES IN
CLAUSE OF IMPORTANCE
TO ALL TRUSTEES.

A copy of the Financial Report, anc
Audit, of the Genesee Independent
School District No. 2, has Just beer
received, and filed, in the office OF
Homer E. Estes, County Auditor, said
audit covering a period Of ten years
or from July 1st., 1911 to June 31st.
1921, inclusive
This audit was made by R. D. Chal-
mers, field auditor for the GAYLORD
Brothers, public accountants, and
auditors, of Spokane and Tacoma, and
is in compliance with a law passed
by the 1919 session of the state legis-
lature requiring such, audit of all In
dependent School Districts at inter-
walls of not greater than every four
years, the report, and findings, of
such audit to be made in triplicate,
one copy to be filed with the Clerk
Of the District, one copy with the
State Board Of Education, and one
copy with the county.
The following comment, and report,
by the parties making this audit, will
be interesting, and reads as follows:
Schedule 2, Exhibit L, shows very
forciably the excess of expenditures
over receipts, the excess being partial
ly accounted for by the payment of
outstanding warrants for prior years
during this period. In addition to this
condition there must be considered the
fact that both Bond issues, totaling
$3O,00O.000 will be due in ten years
and that the existing revenue will not
provide for their retirement. We have
been informed that an Indpendeent
School District is limited to 15-mill
levy and that an ordinary district is
not. In view of this face and the |
financial condition of your district as
stated above, it is our opinion that it I
would be the wiser course to become .
an ordinary school district, at least I
until time as your finances are in
better shape than they are at pres
ent''
In going over this matter with the
County Auditor, he calls attention to
the fact that the last session of the
Legislature amended the law relative
to the maximum tax levy for Inde-
pendent Schools Districts, and pro-
vided for an additional five mill levy
when Especial taxes provided for here
in, and from all other sources, are not
the period prescribed by law, and to
pay the inerest and accruing obliga-
ions on the bonds, or other legal OBJ
legations of the district" This pro-
vision of the law can be found under
Chapter 215, Section So, Page 455, of {
the 1921 Session Laws of Idaho. )
Under this new provision of the law |
It is thought that the Genesee School
District, and perhaps other Independ-
snt Districts, can solve their financial /
and will not be forced to .
and to go back to common
school districts.
