Some of the Nevada papers have
urged the calling of an extra session
of the Legislature to reduce the State
tax levy, but the Carson Appe | shows
that this course would be unwise.
The Appeal estimates that there will
be $4,000 on hand January LIST
1878. This amount will be required
to keep the State on cash basis un-
til the June settlement, in 1878, and
as the receipts from that settlement
are always light, the Treasury will
not be burdened with a surplus
amount of cash on hand at that time.
The Appeal thinks there may be
$3S0,000 surplus cash in the State
Treasury in 1878, provided the boz
nanza mines continue to yield a
revenue as they have this year. IF,
however, the mines should fail, the
tax would not be more than sufficient
to defray the expenses of the Legis.
.lature Of 1879 and keep the State
upon cash basis. Under these cir
cumstances, the Appeal thinks there
is no occasion for an extra session,
and the public will fully concur in
ITS opinion.

THE WoUNDED.-A reporter of the
Carson Appeal on Tuesday visited
the State Prison and found Captain
Matthews very much improved Had
been down stairs for the first time IN
several days and his arm was in much
better condition. He expects to be
in the city shortly. Captain Command
is very much improved. He was out
side yesterday and though supported
by a crutch on the near, aud "a silver
headed cane on the off side, looked
none the worse for wear; considering
that he has never been confined to his
bed before in his life, the Captain
stands it well. He reports himself
improving rapidly. Matheny, the
convict, is said to be doing we'll.
His wound is almost healed.

B0die Mining News,

FROM the Standard of Wednesday

McCLINToN.-This mine lies he.
tween the Bechtel and Bulwer, and
joins the Standard on the east. 1t
was incorporated in San Francisco
November Sd, with 10000 shares and
$4,000 working capital. Machinery
was shipped from San Francisco on
the 9Th, and part of the building
material is on the ground. The two
compartment shaft is down rs feet.
On the company's ground are six
ledges-Eshington, Watson, Summit,
Tiger, Jay Hawk, Pacific No. and
Sharon. Over $4,000 has been ex-
tracted from the property in the last
ten years and worked in arastras.
BEcHTEL.-The large quantity of
ore that was broke and left in the
mine while the work of overhauljpo
the shaft and erecting the hosting
works was gong on Is now lying IN
the dump, and is being hauled to the
mill. The sinking of the shaft has
been resumed, and in a short time
a station will he cut out and new
levels run from point another hun.
bred feet deeper. With the excep-
ton of few days Of bluste ing
weather it has been pleasant, and
work on their fine hosting works has
gone on with little interruption.
STANDARD. Still drifting south 10
good orc on the 400 foot level; made
since last report, 20 feet; total length,
649 from the incline. Work had to
be discontinued in the main incline
at the depth of 1927 feet on account
of water. The hoistiLg engine for
the new shaft left Carson ON the 10Th.

Mr.. HARPER A Teachers Institute
was held at Capon Bridge, pursuant to
appointment. for four days, commencing
Nov. 2lst. 1t seems no one thought it
OF sufficient Importance to merit a no.
tice in the county paper.
Lest teachers ut the upper end Of the

or enterprise enough in this section to
get up an affair of that kind, | will BEG
for sufficient space in your valuable pa.
per to state, that it came Off at the APP.

was very unfavorable was we'll attended

cause OF education: methods OF impart-
ing instruction, and in school manage.
rnent generally. Many OF the teachers
were young in the pro fession. and at
loss to know what were their duties.
However they soon learned the purposes
of the meeting, an1 many of them en-.
tered quite spiri.cdly into the discuss.
ions. The queries propounded and dis.
cussions, convinced all present, think,
that to be successful teacher, one must
be thoroughly informed in the Elemen-
tary branches. and that no one is com
petent to give instruction in any branch
who is not, himself, master Ct it. Our
worthy County Superintendent, Mr.
Gilkeson, labored to impress that idea
upon the minds of all teachers-that if
they wished to be successful. they must
qualify themselves in all the details Of
the profession. 1t was manifest from
the hearty vote Of thanks rendered him
at tne CLOSE OF the. session, that all re
cognized in him the right man in the
right place; AMI that the schools Of the
county will be materially benefited by
his labors. In his address to the teach
ers, he convinced them. think, that lie
is thoroughly alive TO the work and a. a.
with their cooperation. the schools Of
this county can be nal. as efficient as
any in the State.
There seems to have been an impress.
ion in the minds of some citizens that
the meeting was for teachers alcne, and
that they would not be welcome. An
invitation was cXtendad TO all; and Sc
verat ladies' and gentlemen, not teach
crs. were present. and q few took part
in the exercises. We hope oil will come
and take part at the next one. G..
