which will be held in the high school

The resolution sets forth details
in connection with the financing OF
the construction of additions, altera-
ticns and repairs to the high school
building, now under way, and the
amount proposed IN the temporary

for the furnishing and eluipping OF
the building after the work now un-
der way Is completed.
The amount realized by the sale
of the high school bonds was S12a,'
900, in addition to which there was
$4,000 in the old building repair

NEVADA CONSOLIDATED
WILL MILL ORE SOON

Remarkable progress is being made
by the Nevada Consolidated Copper
Company in the rebuilding Of the big
mill at McGill and two ball mills.
with a capacity OF 5000 tons per day
each, are expected to be in operation
within the next two weeks. This will
doubtless mean the operation OF a
daily ore train.
Following the destruction of the
old mill by fire, which occurred July
9, the work of clearing off the site
was commenced Immediately prepar-
atory to the reconstruction work and
the most encouraging information
then obtainable from an authorita-
tive source was that the hope was
entertained that considerable ton
mage would be moving through the
new mill early next year.
A force of structural iron and steel
workers is now engaged rushing the
work to completion with all possible
speed.
No effort is being spared in OBJ
tanning the necessary steel and equip
ment as rapidly as possible and each
train brings to McGill material which
is being used in the work OF recon-
struction.
When the new mill is finally COM
pleted it will be equipped with thirty
ball mills, each with capacity OF
500 tons per day. making a total
capacity of $1,000 tons per day.
The two mills which are expected
to be In operation by the middle oi
this month will be augmented IS rap
idly as possible, and the success
which has thus far attended the ef-
forts of reconstruction encourages
the hope that a tonnage at least
equal 10 that which was being han.
died at the time of the conflagration
will be moving through the new mil
at a much earlier date than was then
anticipated.
When the mill was destroyed 5000
| tons of ore were daily passing
through the portion of 1t which had
been reconstructed during the period
of the shutdown.
The return to production through
the mill at McGill is one Of the large
items taken into account as having
an important bearing on the genera
business conditions of the district.
It cannot fail to add in consid
cradle degree to the general feeling
that within the next few months the
Ely district will again enjoy pros
perity

lines incidental thereto can doubt
less find employment. This includes
miners, mechanics, carpenters, paint
ers and in fact ali lines OF industry In
connection with mining operations.
Laborers are in demand from Kim
berly to McGill and ii is safe to say
that men can find employment any
day IL they SO desire.
Many of the men formerly en-
ployed at Kimberly have returned
since preparations were recently in
augurated for the reopening of the
mines.
Bob Brown, formerly engaged as
foreman at Ruth, returned last We'd
nesday night to accept an important
position with the Consolidated Cop
permines Corporation.
John G. Eaby sevred his connec-
tion as accountant with the Ely Pack
ing Company last Thursday and re-
turned to Kimberly to resume the po-
sition which he occupied there prior
to the shutdown.
A. ]. Proctor, who for many years
prior TO his connection with the Gra-
ham Quality Shop in Ely followed
churn drill operations. will have
charge OF that line OF work Tor the
reorganized company.
The boarding house at Kimberly
was opened last Friday for the ac-
commodation of the men already en-
gagged in work preparatory to tbs
opening up of the mining property
and which il was deemed wise tC
complete while the weather is most
favorable.
The company store also shows
signs of activity in keeping with the
general trend OF affairs and a con
spicuous notice appears advising EN-.
ployes that coupons may be obtained
at the office.
The reopening of houses and build
ings which have been closed fol
many months bears unmistakable evi
dence of impending activities at Kim
berly. with a resultant increase o.
business throughout the district.

LASSEN HIGHWAY
PUBLICITY is ACTIVE

A letter of inquiry has been re-
tary of the local Chamber of Com
merce, from a resident of Holtville
California, seeking information as
to the condition of the Lassen high
way between Winnemucca and
DEMO. He states that he was a
former resident of the DEMO Sec
ton, formerly owning a ranch there
and that since his departure from
this country he has noticed in news
papers that construction work had
been done on the highway in ques-
ton. He inclosed clipping cut

improved conditions, and asked il
the highway had been paved be-

and on into California. Said that
he was contemplating a tour OF
this part of this state in the future

SENATOR OF IDAHO
DEFENDS FARMERS
Senator Gooding Insists Agricultural
Interests Are Only Receiving
Square Deal at Hands of
Republicans in Tariff

WASHINGTON, d. c., August
2, 1922 When he was Governor
of Idaho for two terms, Frank r.
Gooding made for himself some
reputation as scrapper. That is
why the people of his State like him
and elected him to the United
States Senate two years ago. He
is an old time mining man, having
gone to Idaho wehn he was 81
years old. Afterward he went into
stock-raising. He fought predatory
interests to standstill while Gov
ernor, even when he had to send
his children to school under guard,
as related to this correspondent by
his wife. The great" Eastern
newspapers, which somehow have
achieved the notion that they are
going to arrange the new tariff law
in accordance with manufacturing
ideals, tackled Senator Gooding,
perhaps without remembering his
record. This is how he went after
one of them last evening, just be-
fore the Senate recessed:
"The editorial in the New York
Herald is direct attack on the
agricultural interests of the country
and livestock industry. There is
not any question of doubt about
that; and the New York Herald and
many of the other metropolitan
papers in this country changed their
mind about this tariff bill just as
soon as they discovered that the
agricultural interests of this coun-
try were to be treated fairly and
given square deal.
81 can understand why the Demo-
cratic Party which never has given
agriculture in this country a square
deal in it's tariff bills, the party that
has always considered farm pro-
ducts raw material and put them on
the free list, accepts the New York
Herald's editorials with great
deal of satisfaction.
| Mr.. President, l am simply GO
ing to say, as l said the other
day, that l am going to demand an
| investigation. l want to know
whether there are any exceptions to
be made in this body, and whether
the man who owns sheep has not
right to express his opinion and to
vote on this schedule or any sched-
ule in this tariff bill. If I have
violated my oath of office, by the
eternal gods I am going to resign.
"The Senator from Nebraska
Hitchcock, Dem.) stands on the
floor and, because he owns news
paper, is demanding free wood pulp.
Where is the line to be drawn? 1
