| ANOTHER OPINION OF WHITE PINE
The Reno Crescent of Saturday, for example,
talks in this very sensible and apparently
wel-info,med manner Of White Pine and its
prospects:
We have, from time to time, said good
word for White Pine. believing it to be re-
gion Of extraordinary richness. We have
been candid in what we have published and
eur ideas have been founded on careful con-
illusions from reports from White Pine, and
direct statements of White Piners. We now.
just candidly, state it "a our belief that
| White Pine is not a region which will ever
| exhibit extensive mining operations. We
believe there are two or thrce good mines
there, enough to support, perhaps, thous-
and miners and the other necessary popula
ton to supply this number. White Pine
began TO attract peoples attention nearly
year ago. In August last the great rush to
that region commenced and vet IN the seven
months since, though men by thousands have
gone there, what is there to warrant further
belief in the incom parable richness Of that
region? When the Sheha, in Humb ldt, was
discovered. giving its SIS, 900 per ton assays.
suppose the railroad had been finished and
1000 miners had rushed into Humboldt. as
thew have into White Pine. Would not the
showing have been better than that to-day
presented BY White Pine: But. says the
White Piner " 1t has been Winter aid We
could not work This is probably IN
measure true; but the Winter has been the
milde.t one experienced for ycars-a less
stormy one that can be reasonably expected
for wears to come. But admitting the fact
that the weather has been too inc!emeut for
prospecting, what ha. been done the
mines discovered and partially developed
last summer, How much ore has the urors
and hidden Treasure produced, and even the
terrible Eberhardt, what showing has il
made of its Incompatible wealth for three
months past? 1t is useless to disguise the
fact. At present White Pine gives no
promise of permanence or great wealth. /
Men have gone there without giving a reason,
except they hcped it was rich Some money
has been made in speculation there but ii !
ha. been made out Of people who took it |
there. and has not been produced from the |
country. We DO not wish to discourage any |
body. II people have set their hearts ON
going. we suppose they will go any way bps !
we believe White Plns is going TO disappoitt !
thousand men where it enriches one.
However, we suppose everything is ordained !
for the best. II, by the rush. the surround
ing country is prosp-ctcd and the really good /
mines with which that part Of our State |
a0ounds are developed, great good will be
accomplished. But compared to the Com
stock, the mother vein of Nevada, we must
say. on present showing White Pine is not
worth mentioning in the same connection.

PRoFrss1R s. Y. WHITE wrote to New
York paper, fifteen years ago, of a total
eclipse of the suu which is to occur in August
Of this year. His notes Of the totalitv were
as follows: The sun will rise eclipsed in the
interior oil Liberia, on the morning Of August
I, 1869, whence the shadow will move in 4
northeasterly direction; then turning cast
wardly and enthusiastically. will pass over
tina Behring's Straits and Northern Alaska
about noon, local time. Thence. moving
across part of British North America, it will
enter the United States in Montana, between
two and three =. NJ, local time. Moving
thence across Western Nebraska, it will pass
diagonally through lowa-passing over Sioux
City, Des Moins. and keokuk about five
o'clock. Thence it viii pass still to the
southeast. over Jacksonville, Illinois, across
Southern Indiana, Central Kentucky. East
crn Tennessee, into and cross North Carroll
ma, and will touch tn. .cacoast at Paulica
5oand and it will finally leave the earth not
far from the Bermudas. 1t will be visible in
all parts of the United States, and total over
Gel. Of one hundred miles wide along the
line just indicated, the sun being hid more
than fur minutes. These predictions are
now being repeated the scientific world over,
snl preparations on an extensive scale are
beng made by European societies to witness
the phenomenon from the mos. advantageous
points.

A TUNNEL To CONNECT ENGLAND AND
FRANCE.-The London Daily News says that
tae project of cutting tunnel from England
TO France is still talked Of. l: speaks of the
project as follows: Probably the success
nth which the Mount Gents tunnel has been
worked through the solid backbone of the
alpine range has attracted new attention to
IN old scheme which seems far from imp-ac-
,icable. The difficulties to lie encountered
il tunnel between the Straits of Dover are
OF totally different character from those
which the French engineers have had to meet
With in tunneling the Alps. The soil to be
:raverSed in the former instance would be
the second chalk formation" which NAV
reasonably be assumed to extend in an I'M
broken course from the place of its uprising
II England to the place in which it makes
its appearance in France. The difficulty OF
Ticrforating this soil would be much less than
+ perfo,ating the hard and complicated
material which ha. been encountered by the
French eng ineers. On the other hand, there
are dangers aud difficulties in tunneling
under the Straits which more than make up
tor the comparative ease with which the
mere process of perforating could be pursued
The workers IN the suggested tunnel beneath
file Straits would ba exposed to enormous
risks from the effect of the pressure of the
"a upon the stratum through which thew
lAdFc " WI -h-tih anu III the water
i,urst into the Thames Tunnel while it WAS
ii process of construction and drove the
workmen ont. II suca ar event threatened
yrorkmen engaged nine or ten miles from
either outlet of the suggested tunnel, escape
would be hopeless. In short time the
whole Length, of the tunnel would be filed |
with the waters of the sea, and the labor of
wears would be rendered useless. Doubtless |
T,e danger may be surmounted by a iudicious |
cEoice of the stratum to be worked through, |
a:td BY rfutious progress. The experience |
.-sined during the tunneling Of the Thames |
>aows that much Can be dane in this way. |
We have every reason 10 believe that once a |
t4unel was constructed it would be as safe as
the Thames tunnel now is. There are diff |
''l!ties IN the way of ventilation, but such |
difficulties as these have been successfully |
dealt with in the construction of the Mount |
Cents tunnel. Three very eminent engin- |
r1rs, Messrs. Hawshaw, Brunlces and Lowe,
nave pronounced the plan to lie feasible ; |
aud the estimated cost-nne millions ster-
.ing-though large, Is still reasonable when |
t.,e value OF the tunnel is considered.

wa. made with supplementary address BY a
gentleman who accompanied the lady and
who made some allusion to its probing a

General Grant said smilinCly after expressing
his thanks for so acceptable a present, that
he hoped the time was far distant when he
would have 10 lean upon the cane for support.

MoEz ABOUT SCHOOLS.

important amendments to our School
Law. Ii is not our purpose to name
every particular in which the law was
amended by our recent legislature, but
to note such changes in the law as
are Of general interest 10 parents and
friends of education 10 the Stats.
Hereafter trustees will be obliged to
submit plans of school houses proposed
to be erected, for the approval Of their
county superintendent.
This requirement is designed to de
fend the State against the erection Of
the i'll looking, inconveHient, badly ar
ranged structures SO very common in
All States, commonly called school
houses. If County Superin endents
are careful TO post themselves as they
ought in school architecture, under this
provision much needed improvements
may be introduced and popalarized
wa tutS .Cthts.
The evil Of a special school tax to be
levied and collected by special officer,
as per rate at p special election has
been abrogated.
Heretofore, whenever a tax was voted
for improvement of school property or
defraymeut Of school expenses, a ma
j rity of tax payers were apt to be
grievousiy mucted for delinquent costs
to the cole advantage of District Attor-
neys. This was owing TO the fact thai
the tax became payable at a time when
few were in expectation of an invita-
ton TO the Collector office.
By recen, amendment special school
tax, whenever valid, is TO be collected
with the regular county tax, thus avoid
ing extra expense, and extraordinAry
danger of delinquency.
An improvement has also been made
in the rate bill system. There hs.
been considerable complaint in this
community and we think elsewhere in
this State, because the public school
has been free school only portion
of the year. Ia measure these com
plants are unjust. Public moneys are
insu nic;ent to keep tie school open the
entire year and special taxation for this
purpose would occasion an onrrous i'm
post. No State in the Union make.
such provision, and we learn from our
Superintendent late report th.t, with
one or two possible exceptions, no
State ford. longer nvrrage term Of
schooling per year than Nevada.
Bat it is, nevertheless, desirable thai |
the privilege Of Assessment: Of patron,
be restricted, snd hence our law ha.
been amended, foroiddihg the levy of
rate bill in su: district until after it's
school has been kept free to AL! for six
months of the school year If public
moneys Gre insufficient FOR this purpose,
he trustees are empowered to levy
AK upon the property of the district.
The State thus insures to all it's chill
ireu six meRths of educational ndv.n-
ages n each year, free OF expense. In
his, we believe, we are nearly or quite
.qnsl in liberality 10 any other State in
he Union. California, superior to most
S,ates in educational measures, insares
,n!y FIVE manths of fro school.

GRADES UPON RAILROADs.-It is found
by calculation and experiment, that heavy
trains may descend a grade OF l-l00th with
out attaining greater speed than about
forty or fifty miles per hour, even if allowed
to run freely without applying the brake TO
check the speed. The velocity due to the
acceleratiag force Of gravity soon attsins
its greatest limit, and lemains constant dur
ing the remain der of the descent, owing to
the resistance Of the air.
