not only have the wind chest or sound box,
but have the large Organ bellows, giving power
and great steQdlness of tone. These with their
extreme fine voicing eff the reeds and periecting
OF the tone, make them the most perfect Organ

The first subdiyion of section l6 of the Revised
School Law, reads: The County Superintendent
shall have power and it shall be his duty: First.
TO visit each School in his county at least once

This. evidently was put among the first of his
duties because it was considered, it really is the
most important of them, as, by complying with it
he learns the wants of the various districts by his
presence and influence can settle any trouble, and
by coming in contact with great many OF the
patrons of the Schools, and most of the pupils, can
by word of counsel and encouragement, stimulate
love of learning and desire for knowledge. The
minds of all should be thoroughly aroused to the
Importance of the subject of education, and kept

Sllice RcbbinC on Butte.

Ed. REcoRp-It HIS been said by nearly every
stump orator of the day, that we live in Land of
freedom and in an age of the most refined civili-
zation but some of the honest miners Of Old Butte
have been driven to the sad conclusion that we live
in land of thieves and age when the Spartan
virtue of stealing is carried te an extent that
tuay outstrips public opinion in its rapid stride
towards perfection.
One night last week ''Eb.' McKinney's sluice
boxes were cleaned up by some unknown persons,
who were kind enough to ask nothing for their
trouble but what they obtained in the boxes, sup
posed to be fifty or sixty dollars. On the same
night Wilson & Co. had the favor extended
to them, and also the claim originally owned by
1Iirkpatrich & Co. whose sluices run distance Of
more than quarter OF mile was also robbed.
Next morningupon celebrating over HE matter,
very small hook was found upon which to hang
suspicion. The robbing was done on Thursday
night and on the Monday previous, couple of
Almond eyed lotus caters made their appearance
at the cabin OF Mckinney and kindly presented
him with two bottles of brandy, after which they
took a walk over to look at the claim. On the
same day they presented Wilson 4 Co. with a bot
tie OF brandy, under the guise of friendship. when
in fact there never was any sympathy between
the parties, for, by a law of the miners on the
creek, Cinnamon were prohibited from working on
Butte above Helltown. Everybody felt certain
that they were not actuated by spirit of Hberaity
in presenting the brandy, for if they study any one
thing more than another it Is close listed economy;
consequently party of Us started down to Dia-
mondvle in search Of the suspicious Johns, who
were 50 free with their brandy, one of whom was
captured, but he proved an alihi by score Of his
couatrymen. However, we searched his person,
and found four bits in coin and SIX hits in dust and
that not being enough 10 treat the crowd, We let
him go, although We were nearly all convinced
that he was the robber. 50 endeth the first les
