Imperial Lead Property Taxpayers Will Vote At Scbaol Election a Two propositiona are being submitted; one asking for $25,000 $55,000 and another bond issue. for o Taxpayer of tha Untie district will vote upon two school propositions next Tuesday, June 1st. One is: shall tho trustee bis allowed to ineur an indebtedness of f 25,000 to maintain the schools of the district for the current pear; to pap teachers salaries and for the purchase of neeessarp school supplies. On this question the qualified voters should, in the opinion of the Reporter, vote pea. We are not so sure about the other propositions, that of bonding tho district for 155,000 for buildings and building improvements. Personally wr believe that this issue should be defeated, that the taxpayers should roll up a majority of votes against It. At anp rate the voters should Investigate the matter very thoroughly before they go to the polls and be prepared to vote intelligently. It has always been the custom In the past to give the men In eharge of our schools all that they requested and no questions asked. This has been the policy of the Reporter In matters pertaining to educational work, but .we find that we must revise our views, and we are only too anxious to give our reasons. In the first place this is no time to float or sell bonds, neither is it a time for building improvements that can possibly be deferred. State bonds, d which are usually considered securities by bond buyers, are a drug on the market and according to one of the daily papers of Tuesday will now bring but IS to IT cents on the dollar.. The bonds of our school district will likely not bring more than 16 cents on the dollar, perhaps less than that amount, and this means that the taxpayers will sustain an absolute loss of at least 91,111 on the sale of the bonds. Then if we vote in favor of the bonds we will be authorizing the school board to upend the remaining portion of the 956,100 at a time when high prices for everything have perhaps reached their peak; when a dollar will buy almost nothing In the way of building material and about an equal amount in labor. . We feel that there is little to offer In the way of an argument In favor of a 955,000 bond Issue and ask that the proposition be defeated at the polls. Getting back to the first question of authorising the trustees to incur au indebtedness sufficient to carry on the school work In the best possible manner, we wish to repeat the statement that we will give It our unqualified endorsement and we hope that It carries.

Everyone in Tlntie la hoping that siffeh la the case. The price of the white metal slipped off gradually from 81.37 last November to a fraction of. a eent under the 81 mark and then recovered a few points. It la thought that there ia little or no likelihood of the metal going lower aa the government will engage in buying, under the terms of . the Pittman set, which authorised the treasury to melt up 350,000,000 silver dollars and dispose of the silver as bullion. This set celled for the repurchase of a like amount at not more than 81 dollar per ounce and up to thia time the eilver haa not been seenred. When it it purchased it will be used for coinage purposes. It ean readily be seen that thee la little chanee Local Electricians Doing Better, Central Standard Shaft Work On Standard's Mill Nearing 600 Foot Level for silver to go lower and everything indicates that It will go much higher than It la now aelling. The recent alump In the price ! aid to have been the natural result of aelling by India and China and Continental Europe, silver eolns from these countries being melted up and old as bullion beeanse aa aneh the metal waa worth more than In the coinage form. The mines of the Tintie district will be able to go along profitably under existing conditions hut n few cents more added to the price of Silver would help materially, and those who are beat informed on the matter claim that a better price ean be expected in the very near future. Silver may not get back to the high level of last fall at least not during the present' year but it la quite safe to predict to 91.16 an ounee. 81-1- I ; Two shifts are sending the Central Standard shaft down at greater speed than has been possible at any time alnee the work was started on this property.

ROBERT BROWN IN KCRKKA. o East Standard Financed Sunbeam Mine Has Been Robert A. Brown, for many yean By Eastern Syndicate a resident of Eureka during which Opened To Depth Of 450. j THEIR KAY I During the week the leasees who are at work at the old Sunbeam mine finished the Job of retimbering and cleaning out the shaft to a depth of 450 feet. Thp 450 level waa the deepest point reached in the Sunbeam when the mine waa in operation some twenty years ago. E. R. Higgenson, well known mining operator from Silver City, haa the Sunbeam on a leasA agreement and already he has shmpda s total of about 62 carloads of dre. This ore has all been taken from the two upper levels of the mine and now that he la able to reach the workings on the 450 level he hopes to not only increase h'a shipments but to be able to mine a better character of ore. Recent amelter returns show the ore to be worth approximately 850 per ton and while the lessees were put to a very heavy expense in reopening the old mine they are now realising a nice anm of money.
