EPISCOPAL SEMINARY.
Bishop Whitaker's School at Reno.

We have received a pamphlet de-
scriptive of Bishop Whitaker's School
for Girls, from which We learn that
the total number of scholars during
the first year, ending to-day, was
seventy-eight. The school has al
ready attained high standard, and
its success is we'll assured. We ex-
tact the following paragraphs:
In 1875 Miss Catharine L. Wolfe
of New York offered to give to the
Episcopal Church in Nevada ten
thousand dollars towards founding u
Diocesan School for Girls, upon the
condition that an equal sum should
be given by others. The required
amount was obtained. and the cree.
ton of the school building was be-
gun in June, 1876, and on the 18th
of October was opened for the recep-
ton Of scholars.
The location Of this school at Re-
no, near the Truckee river, at the
junction of the Virginia and Truckee
railway and the Central Pacific rail
road, is particularly favorable for all
the purposes of Il school. The eli
mate OF Reno Is unsurpassed in health
fulncss. Til: school building stands
on broad plateau. overlooking Il
wide extent of country beautifully
diversified with mountains. river and
plans. The house is 40xS8, three
stories in hight, warmed with steam,
and supplied with bath rooms and
hot and cold water. 1t is well ar
ranged, comfortably furnished, and
thoroughly ventilated in every part.
1t will accommodate forty-five board
ers, aud the same number of day
scholars.
1t is intended to make this insti-
ton not only good school, but also
a happy home for all its members.
Careful attention is given to moral,
mental and physical training. Ca
listhenic exercises and re reation in
the open air form an essential part of
the daily discipline. In all depart
ments of the school, thoroughness is
considered of far greater importance
than the number and extent of the
studies pursued.
The rules Of the school are few and
simple. Their only Object is to Sc
cure the order of the household, and
the welfare of the scholars. 1t is ia
ken for granted that parents placing
their daughters in the school desire
their improvement, and that there
fore they will not be willing that it
should DC hindered by absence nor by
much correspondence. Az general
rule it is far better for girl not to
90 home during the term, and the
fewer correspondents she has the bet
ter. The scholars will not attend
balls nor parties, nor leave the
grounds unless accompanied by teach
els or guardians, nor will they re-
ceive calls from gentlemen unless by
the joint permission of parents and
the Principal or Rector.

Important to MinerS.

ia. Williamson, Commissioner of
the General Land Office, in reply
to an inquiry made by A. G. Fisk
of Denver. Colorado, has rendered
decision of the highest concern
to all who are engaged in mining
upon the public domain:
I'm the case presented by Mr..
Fisk, where a party discovered a
a mine on the 1st of July. sunk a
discovery shaft ten feet in depth,
and maze record of his claim on
the 2Sth of August. 1876 the first
annual expenditures should be
made prior to July l, 1877"
The above decision is important.
and the following requirements and
condition result therefrom:
First The date of the beginning
and origin of the title to new lode
claim will be the exact day on which
it shall be first discovered by the
uncovering and disclosing of the
same.
Second-The recorded location no.
tice Cor certificate) should, in all
cases, state the date on which the
discovery was made.
Third-The time in which annual
expenditures must be made will be-
gin and end yearly Oh the date of dis
covery, not on the date OF record.
Fourth-The work of sinking the
discovery shaft ten feet deep, or such
portion of said work as shall be per-
formed after the date of discovery,
may be accounted as part or
whole, as the case NAV be, of the first
annual expenditure.
Fifth - Claims located prior to
January 1, 1872, are not affected by
this ruling. The law of Congress re-
quiring annual expenditures not hav-
ing gone into operation until that
date, claims located prior thereto
were given full year to do their as
sessment work; that is to say, that
these old titles may be represented
st any time in the year between the
first day of January aud the last day
of the succeeding December.
