Roll Of Honor.

The following list of smart boys
and girls of the Primary Depart
ment of the public school is ac-
companied with the percentage of
their standing for the past month.
One hundred Is taken as the point Of
perfection. 1t will be seen that but
two scholars have reached that de-
sired point. 1t will also be seen that
the general standing is pretty good,
showing attention to duty and a dis
position to progress.

~ Is Will TeSTct tnbt we observe n
disposition on the part of some young
man in this community to neglect
and quite ignore the manageable
young ladies of the town. There is
not a great sight Of the latter class
here, to be sure, but there ought to
be enough to supply all the home de-
mands in the matrimonial market.
Marriage, among men, especially in
this reckless country, is gradually
falling into distavor, and while there
are perhaps no more than fifteen
young ladies who would be willing
to jump the broomstick in consum-
nation, Of fair proportion,
and about five hundred men
of manageable age, in this vicinity,
yet the supply of available feminin-
ity is quite equivalent, We
may safely compute, to the exigeu-
cies Of the demand. 1t is really too
bad, then, to find an advertisement
in The San Francisco Chronicle like
the following:
MATRIMONIAL. - A YOUNG NAN OF
1good education, appearance and address
would like to correspond with lady not
more than %, with the same qualities. with
view to matrimony: references anu evidence
of sincerity given. Address Box ~, Silver
City, New.
The young man possessing the quail
tiles so modestly enumerated here
should be able to form home ac-
quaintance perfectly satisfactory.
We do not wish to discourage him or
cast disparagement upon his judg-
ment, but the young ladies of Silver
will bear US cut when we say that il
is very hazardous to establish 3
catch correspond .nce with unknown
parties-hazardous especially on the
part of the lady-and no young man
possessed of more than his share of
pru ence will do So. There are many
tine-looking young ladies in San
Francisco, who might make good cor
respondents and social companions,
but what, we ask in the name of four
aces, would such creatures amount
to in a country like this. The
chances are that they would die Of
sorrow within the first wear Of their
residence here. Our own girls, it
would be important for tins young
man to consider, are thoroughly ac-
climated and are not subject to COM
plants incident to this changeful
climate, as those from abroad would
he. Nor does it require $175 seal
skin cloak or $500 polonaise to
shield them from the inclemencies OF
this boisterous climate. Bees 60 far
to &c, honey, but We protest that
the advertiser in question may go far
from home and fare worse than ne
might here. Furthermore, it is un-
tair to patronize metropolitan pa
per in such way when home jour-
nal might serve the purpose as we'll.
Ii any other young man in this com
munity wants to insert similar adj
vertisement We will yield him the
necessary space at fifty per cent. less
than the usual rates, for the sole pur-
pose of encouraging home matri-
mony.

THUMB HURT.-John Sullivan,
who works at the Justice mine, lost
the nail off of one of his thumbs on
Saturday. He was in the act or
hooking an ore car on the cage when
strong man, who had reoeGty been
employed at the mine, csae up on
the other side and tried ?the car to
see it it was rightly on the cage. In
doing so he jammed his companions
left hand, with the result as above.
Mr.. Sullivan does not say whether
he uttered any imprecations at the
green hand or ii, but it is generally
surmised that lie did.

SAN FRANCISCO. October 49,

SAN FRANCISCO, October 10
About 1 o'clock this afternoon
German named Gustave T. Storms
committed suicide by throwing him
self from fourth story window of a
Bush-street hotel. Deceased was
heavy drinker and for day or two
had been suffering from delirium
tremens, the result of protracted
spree. He was lying on his. bed at
the time, fully dressed, his room
mate present. Suddenly he sprang
from the bed aud rushed into the
hall, along which he ran to the door
of back room occupied by man
named Rider, who was sleeping with
the door locked. Storms burst in
the door, and, running to the WIN
dow, plunged out head foremost.
The noise of his entrance aroused
Rider, who lesped from his bed just
in time to seize the desperate man
by the ankles as he dove through the
window. A terrible struggle ensued.
Storms plunged wildly to free him
self, while Rider yelled for help,
maintained his grasp until his
strength failed, when Storms
wrenched himself free and fell head
long distance of at least sixty feet,
striking and smashing in his descent
a strong board fence and sustaining
injuries which proved instantly fatal.
Deceased was about 40 years old and
was employed about Platt's Hail in
some laboring capacity.
THE ITALIAN CELEBRATION.
Italians to-day celebrated the ami
versary of the discovery of America
by Columbus with great spirit. The
procession was several blocks in
length, prominent feature of which
was boat on a dray, modelled and
rugged in imitation of Columbus,
ship Santa Maria, whose name she
bore. The Garibaldl Guards and
other military and civic associations
turned out in force and made cred
liable display.

A Golden Mountain.

Miners from the great san Juan mines
Of northwestern Colorado say that gold
in marvellous quantities has been discUy-
cred in the Sanmc dc Christie range Of
mountains, which lie ON the eastern Dor
der Of the San Luis Park and about
scycnty-Iiyc miles from Pueblo. The
first discovery made ON this range was
in November, 1871, since which time the
Cambria, Hidden Treasure, Little Giunt,
jackson, Centennial, and Revenge gold
lodcs have proved themselves Of great
value. Returns from three Of these mines
tested in Swansea showed from SO tn
$3.50 gold per ton, and showing some
silver in each. The jackson lode, since
the above test was made, has given ores
that assay from five Thousand TO forty
Thousand dollars gold per ton. A stamp
mill Of ten ton daily capacity has been
erected ut this mine, and will be in opera
ton by March next. over two hundred
tons Of this gold quartz ore is now on
the dump, from mines ON the Sangrc de
Christie, which will he reduced next
season. This gold belt, ~ far as pros.
pcctcd, extends from MOSCo Pass twenty
miles north. South from bet NortC,
thirty miles, lie the gold districtso of Ala
mo2a, Summit, IcIluric and Decatur.
Perhaps South Mountain, in summit dis.
trict, affords the best yield Of gold in
that vicinity. 4 correspondent of y
Denver paper saws that it is one solid
mass OF gold quartz, Mr.. Harry Adsit,
one Of the returned miners, who has pros
pcclcd in the san Juan country for the
last three years, COrrObOratcs this state
mrnl. lie says that South Mountain is
about two miles long, and that there is
but one true assure vein in it; yet all of
it, the whole mass, produces gold more
or less rich, 1t il upon this mountain
that the famous Little Annie lode is 10.
Gated, onc.half of which was recently sold
drcd thousand dollars. This mine, aver
aged, will run about forty dollars per
ton. SilvcrtOn is one hundred miles west
from Dcl NOrtc in SAN Juan county, and
about fifty or sixty miles south from Sil-
vcrlon are the La Plata gold mines, stu
atcd ON the La Plata river. There is a
gold bar running along the margin Of
llill Nll'illls 'lN'bN NV Minus VI NlllNll
has been taken up, and last season Il con.
siderable amount Of placer mining was
done. 4 system of bitches has been con
structcd, and next season promises some
lively placer mining ut this point. But
it is to the quartz lodcs that the miner
looks for permanent, reliable returns,
after all; and here we have the Comstock
mine, discovered by Captain John Moss
an old California miner, which perhaps
is the richest gold mine on the continent.
Onc hundred pounds of gold quartz ore
taken from this mine in October last
| ncttcd one thousand five hundred dollars,
| while ore taken ont in the following
month ran one hundred and twenty thou
sand dollars per ton. About twenty
mines are being worked in the san Juan
country this season, and their winter
product is variously estimated at from
six hundred thousand to one million
dollars.
