ScuooI. ExAMINArIoN.-The exami-
nation of the intermediate Department
of the Gold Hill public schools took
place this forenoon, pursuant to an
nouncement, quite a goodly number OF
the parents and friends of the scholars
being present. This department in
cludes pupils Of from about eight to
twelve years Of age, and considering
their youth they exhibited remarkable
proficiency, answering various difficult
questions in arithmetic, and other
studies, with promptness and correct
ness. The advanced state and excel
lent discipline Of this department re-
fleets great credit OH the teacher, Miss
Harris. When the examination was
concluded, at noon, the visitors passed
TO the room occupied by the fourth
grade of the Grammar School, Mrs.
Stoddard teacher, in order to witness
their exercises in c~alisthenics. The
pupils exhibited q degree of training
and perfection in this peculiar exercise
rarely seen, and not to be surpassed by
the drill Of the National Guard or any
other of our local military companies.
The examination of this most excel
lently managed school in its various
studies Is progressing this afternoon to
the complete satisfaction Of the numer-
Gus visitors. We regret that we are
unable to be present. The second and
third grades Of the school will take
place tomorrow, and all the parents
and friends are earnestly desired to be
present.
WARN wATER.-Relative to the re-
cent strike Of warm water at the
tenth, or lowest level Of the Savage
mine, which we announced a day or
two since, the Enterprise of this morn
ing says: From that great depth in
the bowels of the earth there are now
being constantly pumped up from fit
teen TO twenty inches Of water. Upon
reaching the surface the water is con-
Quoted into a flume leading to mills in
and below Gold Hill, a matter OF con-
siderable Importance to the reduction
works in that direction ut this time.
This water was not encountered WITHIN
the vein, but in what Is called the east
country rock that Is, the common
rock of the country outside Of the east
wall of the vein. II Is so warm that 1t
might almost be called hot. The rock
In which It was found Is n species OF
porphyry, and it was tapped by pros
pectinc drifts run out rs feelers beyond
the east wall. 1t is supposed to flow
from large pockets or cavities through
assures leading from which have been
cut by the drifts, and that these SUBJ
terranean reservoirs will soon De
drained. At this great depth water is
not found generally disseminated
through the rock. but in pockets or
reservoirs of all sizes, from those that
nav be drained and pumped out in q
few DAYS to those that hold out for
weeks. Drifts are sometimes run
through dry rock within a few feet OF
these deposits of water Outside OF the
walls of the yeinl without their exist
ence being so much as suspected.
HE PACIFIC MUrUAr.-Everybody
is or should be interested in life insur-
ance, and the only question in thus
providing for the future, or for our
wives, families or dear friends we leave
behind in case of death is, which Is the
safest, most advantageous, substantial
and reliable company to insure with.
In another column, to-day, read the
new advertisement Of the Pacific Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company of Cali
fornia. This company IS only three
years old, and has paid during that
period no less than $4,000 in losses,
vet has nevertheless increased its as
sets to nearly 81, 200. 900. Thus it will
be seen that this Is 4 progressively
financial company. IL shows 4 most
satisfactory exhibit In every respect,
and the attention Of all true business
men Is called thereto. Let every one
read and judge for themselves.
CORNELL, DRUGGIsT.-To say that
you don't know where Cornell's drug
store is, at Virginia, would be to &C
knowledge n degree of ignorance very
few would like to confess to. But the
fact Il, Just at the present time, that
Cornell has removed his drug store
from his old stand, near the corner OF
G and Taylor streets, to n more eligi-
bic location, In the lower story of the
Tahoe House. opposite Wells, Fargo
& CO., formerly occupied by Dale &
Co., No. ~, South c street. AS duly
set forth by advertisement In another
column, Cornell is an apothecary,
chemist and wholesale druggist. Hi.
stock Is immense, and embraces every
thing, from a bundle Of toothpicks o
n dose of jalap to a can Of alcohol, o
n barrel OF bluestone. Families, mill
men, or any other. man, bountlfullI
supplied ut reasonable rates.
Cor THE GoUT.-George Gibson, o
Carson City, writes us that PatricI
Henry Clayton, popularity known a
Hal. Clayton, has the govt in bot
elbows, and that his arms are contin
ually raised In a position rs If in de
votional exercises. The doctors say |
Is caused by drinking too much butter
milk from his ranch. Poor Hal! W
have long since believed that when h
quit Georges "tangle-leg" and too
TO buttermilk, he would also take Z
praying and preaching.
