This league is composed of high school students situated in the central part of the staie. Friday of last week our negative team traveled to Escalon to debate with the high school team. of that city. The affirmdtive team met the Manteca. team at our high school. Debating should be encouraged and supported by the people of the community as a good debating team recognition from basketball receives as much outsiders as a winning team. As this is only the second year that we have debated, and we had only one debate last year, we eannot estimate the power of our speakers but we will give them our support. The main purpose of debating is but in the benenot in. the winning fit to the debater gained through his study and work. The debater develops his reasoning power and his public speaking ability. Debating develops inter-school communication among schools as the debaters travel to the different towns. Therefore, as a debating team is a benefit to the high school and to the community, we should back them as much as we back -our. other school activities. : SMITH VICTOR IN BALLOT Last Ménday a str a straw ballot was taken in the high school assembly.

Nevada county came into some prominence again after a lapse of many years and it is probable that with new developments’ in milling methods which have made it possible to handle rebellious ores with a greater degree of efficiency, that the Meadow Lake _ section will see some of its old glory return. Due to limitations of early methods of extraction the. development work of the district was confined entirely to the uppers oxidized zone, the deepst shaft being 137 feet. At ithis level the vein in the~Excelsio: i claim is ten feet wige showin; values from 12-to 20 dollars pe: ton, indicating further that an in,crease in values with depth may be . 1 expected, due to secondary enrich’ ment. Numerous open cuts, shallow glory holes and shafts on the vari ous veins have demonstrated thé continuity of the veins and _persistence of gold and silver values ‘in the upper oxidized zone. All, reports on the Meadow Lake district are agreed as to the extensive ore bodies and average values. The reason early operations -were suspended was not for the lack of ore but for the lack of a method of extraction applicable to the large tonnage of low grade complex sulphide ores encountered below the oxidized zone. Metallurgical. science has made great strides since 1870 ~vhen the Meadow Lake mine were abandoned, and it is the opinion of certain competent metallurgical enzineers that by the application of ‘mproved methods of. gold and silver extraction and the extensive ore jy bodies of the Meadow Lake District offer an opportunity for developing . large and profitable production. The application of the Vandercock mercuric cyanide process will be vaiched with a great deal of inter‘st. It is a modifieation of the ‘tandard method of cyaniding gold ind silver ores. This system provides means of preventing the fouling f the cyanide solutions which orinarly takes place when treatng omplex ores as found in the Mea‘ow Lake district. This. fouling of ‘olutions is prevented.by the introluction. of a mercuric. generator Xhich keeps the cyanide solutions ‘ree of harmful imopurities so that heir dissolving efficiency is kept it a maximum. Mr. Vandercock, who las made a number of labratory ests on Meadow Lake ores statés hat he has found he could make n extraction of 91 to 94 per cent f the gold values.
