TO THE SCHOOL:
That the population of Cordova is
increasing rapldiy was further indi
cated at the meeting of the school (
I
board last night, when it was decided,
to base its estimate of expenses for]
the coming year on the probability!
that another teacher will be necessary
this year to care for the many
additional children it is expected will]
attend the public schools.
Two estimates will be prepared, one
based on the number of children in
attendance at the time the school
closed the past year, and another on
the assumption that one more teacher
will be needed. The first estimate is
placed at $.1,600, and the second at
$5,000.
in its report to the city council the
school board will urge the necessity
of a covered playground for the child
ren, in which the youngsters will be
able to romp during the days when
the weather will not permit them to
play out of doors.

COPPER PROPERTIES ARE
BEING CEVELOPED
Development work on all copper
properties along the line of the Cop
per Itiver *1- Northwestern railway is
progressing rapidly, and it is pre
dicted that there will be work for
many men before the summer is over,
as nearly every prospect that can be
developed has a small force of men
working.
H. W. DeBois, consulting engineer
for the Copper Company, Inc., yester
day sent a request to Cordova, asking
that men out of work communicate
with him. ' ■ *'
The wages paid by the Copper Com
pany are $3.50 for miners and $3.00
for muckers, board being furnished
in both cases.
In his request for men DeBois asked
that anybody seeking work first com
municate with him by wire, in order
that more men than are needed will
not take the trip out to the mine.
