The semi-annusl meeting OF the State
Board Of Education takes place this
week. We expect that the usual at
tsmpss at swindling the parents Of the
school children Of this State will be
made BY the several school book publish
ing houses. This matter Is becoming
disgrace, q nuisance and robbery. Pc
riodically the Board Of Education of this
State is besieged by q lot Of male and
female tou,ers, who are log.rolling in be-
half Of the house which employs them to
induce the State Board to adopt the text
books published by their employers. The
question OF the best books and their
fitness for the purpose for which they are
intended, Is seldom. II ever considered.
The interests OF the school children,
their progress in the acquisition Of
knowledge Ia swallowed in tho all i'm.
portant questions OF getting the publica
lions of one house adopted or the
other rejected. The attention Of
the next Legislature ought tt
be drawn TO this matter, and means de-
vised to stop this scandal and positive
injury TO the cause OF education. Ths
parents OF thousands OF school children
ought not to be permitted to become the
helpless prey Of lot Of mercenary booi
peddlers, who. If they can only sell theiI
books and get the money for them, is al
they care about. A cure for the evi
may be difficult to devise, but certainl!
the attempt ought to be made. For wan
Of better plan we would suggest that il
the trustees OF the several school districti
were invested with the power Of selecting
the text books. this great evil might b
partly abated. The field would then b
too broad AMI too many persons woul'
have to be canvasssd to afford a yer.
profitable harvest for the log-rollers. A
any rate. something ought to be done T.
preventive people from being continu
ally robbed by being compelled to be oil
ways purchasing new books in order t
enrich some publishing house. Tn

THE OWNING ROD.
Letter OF Correction from Al Peck,
the Mineral ProspectOr.

From the San Francisco Post
ED. Posi-. The mention made in sew.
eral papers of my examination of the
North Consolidated Virginia mine. and
my report concerning it, conveys to the
public an impression at variance with
the facts.
1t ia true that I examined the North
Consolidated Virginia mine, and that
reported that the ore body appeared (by
means at my command) to be $50 feet
wide, and that the attraction of the
chimney of ore embraced in the Shamro
and North Consolidated Virginia mines
is equally as great as the attraction of
the Consolidated Virginia and the Cali
fornia mines.
have never intimated that the North
Consolidated Virginia was on the same
line of mineral as the Consolidated Vir-
ginia, California, Ophir or Mexican, but
quite to the contrary. They are not on
the same lead, nor connected with the
old mines in any respect.
This is what do say, and the proof
which will sustain my declaration, will
determine hereafter the value Of my re-
ports, to-wit:
Inc NOLtu SOusouuhttu NlEkluth Is Ou
the Red and White Cross Mineral Lode,
and not connected with the present
known Bonanza mines, or the so.called
Comstock ledge. l. am not aware that
any mining company is at present work.
ing on the old Comstock ledge. 1t was
worked out years ago. The Red and
| White lode is the most extensive and
longest continued line Of mineral in the
| district, and I am sure that develop
ments on that line in the near future
will sustain my assertion.
II may be allowed, will state q
| proposition which will enable those in
terested and operating in mines to deter
mine absolutely my ability to point GU
and properly estimate the value OF ORE
bodies.
| My past experience in pointing out orr
bodies on the Comstook belt may be as
certained by application to such refer
ences as am able to give. Lest the in
credulous public should ignore the testi
mony am able to offer touching m,
| past work, will refer TO mines not gen
orally known to be valuable, and stalk
my reputation on the finding OF the mos
| valuable and extensive ore bodies in tn,
following claims, to wit: Tho Red Cros
Consolidated, White Cross Consolidated
Plutus, Victoria Consolidated. Shamr,
and the North Consolidated Virginia (al
on the so-called Red and White eros
lode); and further. that these mines vii
produce larger percentage in gold whel
developed than Is found in the Consoli
dated Virginia, California and Ophi'
The Red and White Cross companies ar
already sinking an immense shaft, an
the North Consolidated Virginia has al
tanned depth Of 800 feet. The Plutu
will commence Q shaft soon. and tn
whole line may be proven within on
year.
To the question OF an evening paper
"Why don't Mr.. Peck keep his know
edge to himself and buy up the stock!
I answer that am not stock operator
and prefer to follow pursuit which
know am able to sustain with credit
myself and in which I may find q sun
cisnt reward. Most respectfully,
II Al PICK.
