New SCHooLs.-The two new school
houses are now occupied and the departments
therein in regular running order. The one
in the lower portion of the city is under the
charge of Miss Woods with about thirty-fve
scholars in attendance. The room is bright
and comfortable A row of blackboards ex-
tends the entire length and width of the
room. The building is 27x60 with a covered
porch 9x16 surmounted by cupola. The
contract price of the building was, we believe
100000 which was very low, and don't ad-
init of as much margin as $3.50 90 for the lot
Perhaps it would be well for the Trustees
to make financial showing for the benefit
and satisfaction of the tax payers of the Dis
trict, The building in the northern portion
of the city is located on back street and not
easy Of access. 1t is 1Sx20 with covered
porch, without any cupola. The school is I'M
der the charge of Miss Laura Berry and is
well conducted Out of roll of fifty schol-
ars she had yesterday forty seven in attend
ance, and ordinarily has no absentees. She
labors under the serious disadvantage of hav-
ing no blackboards at all. The Trustees
should remedy this defect without delay.
The ventilation in both school houses is good
and while the outward appearance of both is
not very attractive, they are very useful in
the localities where they are situated.
BoDIE SrANDARD.-We hove before US the
of the " Bodie Standard" which
will be issued about Wednesday Oct 10 1877,
at Bodie, Mono county, California, by Frank
Kenyon of the Lyon County Times. For in
formation of our readers who wish to sub
scribe Zone year in advance $500, six months
ditto 5000, that the Standard will contain
full information in regard to this important
mining locality, giving only the most reliable.
1t isn't all prospectus either. Yesterday
a team for the south Carson, heavily
aden with everything necessary to the estab
Lishment of first class printing and job Office.
The neatness and dispatch was loaded on the
back action. We wish success and prosperity
to the Standard The huge load means more
than the Standard Part of it will be un-
loaded at Aurora, we expect, to supply the
wants of the Esmeralda Herald which will
appear under the auspices of the same enter
prising pencil singer, at Aurora, on or about
the 9th of Oct. proximo. A paper has long
been needed at Aurora and we have no doubt
about the Herald's filling the bill in every re-
spect. The Esmerorans are to be congratu-
lated on the new enterprise.
NEEDED IMPEovEMENT.-The fire cistern in
front of Parson Kellys residence has for some
time past been in very dangerous condition,
or rather the covering of it. The cistern is
in good order. The timDers had become old
and rotten, and it was entirely unsafe for
teams to pass over it. A few days ago DR..
Butts inspected it and ordered the needed re
pairs. Yesterday morning work was COM
menced under the Doctors supervision. The
old timbers have been removed; nine new
stout posts have been placed at equi-distant
positions in the cistern, and new rafters and
stringers put on to take the place of the old.
The work is well done, and the driving public
may be secure lin spinning over the eistern
cover at the highest limit allowed by the city
or as slowly as the speed accom-
plished by an breathing gasterpod mol
lusk, of the genus helix, without the fear of
