The TusearOra Mechanics Union.

This organization already numbers
upward OF fifty members, and addi-
tiens are made to the roll at every
meeting. 1t is composed of our
best mechanics, and the association
is evidently established on a perma-
nent basis. Its objects are to main
tain fair prices for skilled labor, and
to render such assistance as may be
necessary TO their brother members
of the Union who are incapacitated by
sickness from pursuing their avoca-
tions. The Following are the present
officers, President, A. Z. White; First
Vice President, j. r. Kelley; Second
Vice President, Robert Conley; Re-
cording Secretary, - CLAIM; FL
naneial Secretary, E. s. Yeates
Treasurer, j. T. Babcox; Marshall,
Robert Johnson; Sergeant-at-Arms,
Thomas Rule. The Union hold their
regular meetings at Masonic Hall
Thursday evening. The election for
officers for the aext term of six
months, commencing July /, will
take place at the next meeting. The
same officers have been nominated,
aud IS there is no opposition. the
present incumbents will! doubtless be
elected. The objects of the institu-
ton are laudable, and every eligible
mechanic ia the district ought to en-
courage the movement by becoming
member. Times Review.

LUDICROUS MISTAKES.
Some Of the Answers to Questions
at the Examinations.

Although the replies at the school
examinations indicated reasonably
high degree VI proficiency among
the scholars, some ludicrous mistakes
were made.
In Miss Plummer's room a boy
exclaimed, as lie turned page ITO of
his reader. and began reading on the
next: Page eleventy-one y
The following, which occurred in
the High School. is not very credit
able to the scholar. The test was as
follows: "Correct the following SEN
tence: Milo began to lift the OK
when he was calf" The reply
was: Milo, when he was an OK, be-
gan to lift the calf"
A ready little miss in Mrs. Hor-
hicks department was asked: " What
are the principal minerals in Ne
vada y She replied, without the
least hesitation: "Gold, silver and
trout"
To the question, How would you
go from New York to San Francisco
by water :" boy in the same de-
partment replied promptly, and with
the utmost assurance: by boat"
Another scholar in the same class,
being asked, "Why do we celebrate
the Fourth Of July 7" answered un-
hesitatingly: because three Presi-
dents died on that day"
A boy in the High School. having
been required to state the plural of
two, answered: "Three!" and re-
sumed his seat with a self-satisfied
air.
This last was probably the same
boy, who, coming into school ten
minutes after the opening, one morn
ing. was asked for his reason, with
the following result:

look In that New Locality.

#. McJilton, the arastra-map, re-
turned on Thursday from prospect
ing trip to Red Canyon, new min
ing district about eight or ten miles
north of Wellington's Station, on
Walker river. and about thirty-five
miles from this city. He says that
many promising claims are being
developed there by men of small
means who feel confident that they
will get good return for their labor
All the locations made thus far were
on blind lodges, as although there
are some forty or fifty well-defined
hedges within a width of less than
five miles, there are scarcely any out
Groupings. In order to discover &
ledge the prospectors roam about
the bills In search Of rich float.
When any is found they ascend a
few feet further and make an open
cut. After running few feet ledge
is generally cut into. The War
horse, the Gray & Carter, the Indian
Queen, the Morrison and other equal.
" rich mines were discovered in this
manner. All the mines mentioned
are taking out rich ore, some Of
which assays from $500 to 5000 a
ton, principally in gold. The can
canyon being very steep. and with
quite a stream If water, the facili.
ties for building wster-power mills
are good. Arrangements are being
made to build Eve stamp mill to
crush ore from the Gray e. Carter
and the Warhorse. Once they can
get mill out there. they are satisfied
that capital will come to them, and
they will be enabled to develop their
property.

THE TEACHERS EXAMINATION.
Precautions TO Secure Fairness
and lmpartiality.

The gentlemen to whom was al
lotted the task Of preparing ques-
tons for the Forthcoming teachers
examination in Storey county have
not yet reported, but will do so by or
before Monday morning. Wishing
to avoid any suspicion of unfairness
or favoritism, they will neither show
their questions to outsiders nor to
each other, until the morning Of the
first day of the examination.
Superintendent James alone will see
all the questions before that time. II
they are seen by others he will there
fore be to blame for il. At the be-
ginning Of the examination book
containing series of numbers will
,be handed to each applicant: In turn,
with the request that he or she write
his or her name opposite one of the
numbers. When all the applicants
shall have complied with this require
ment, the book will he locked up in
"A desk where it will remain undis-
rturbed until the close. The question
papers will then be handed out, and
the applicants will be ordered to sign
theirs with the number opposite their
name in the hook. When the exam
liners report they will state that num-
der so-and-so's percentage is such
-and-such. As they will not see the
Cookbook after the paues are writ
ten IN II, they will IF necessity make
an impartial report. The questions
VIII be simpler than those given out
at the class examinations just con-
.cluded.

Preparing to Crush Ore from the
New Bonanza.

The Eureka mill will start up on
Sierra Nevada ore IN a few weeks,
as soon as new track is laid from
the railroad to the mill. This work
will be begun Monday, and will
probably not be done much before
the last days of July. The Eureka
mill has a daily capacity of 1875
tons, and is operated by water power.
1t is situated less than two miles
from the Mound House. Hon. w. II.
King, President Of the Senate
who represents this county in the
State Senate, is the Superintendent.
If once started. the mill will prob
ably run for years.

DANCING IN THE DEPTHS.
A Ball to be Given in an Ore.
Chamber Of the Eureka Con-
sOlMafed.


Ever since Captain Caravans famed
entertainment at the 1100-level of
the New York mine, the Eurekans
have been green with envy, and have
taxed their brains to invent some en-
tertainment equally novel and unique.
They seem to be incapable of getting
up anything entirely new in that line,
however. and to be compelled, in
sheer helplessuess, to follow sub
missively where they aspire to lead.
This. at least, may be inferred from
the following item which appeared in
the Eureka Leader of recent date:
Not long since the Virginia City
papers gave an account of a
very novel event, ball that took
place upon the 1000 foot level of the
New York mine, roomy station at
the shaft having been cut at that
depth. II a rumor now prevalent
on the Hill is true, party will be
given on the Fourth of July in the
Ruby Hill lode. which will outrival
that incident both in novelty and
brilliapcy. This will he 40 less than
a dancing party in one of the famed
caves of the Eureka Consolidated. at
a depth of one thousand feet below
the surface, it being understood that
it is Superintendent Donnelly's in.
tentiop to issue invitations to Sc
lect crowd, have suitable platform
laid IN the cavern, and light up the
underground chasm for the occasion.
We can conceive of no more quaint
and impressive incident than this
would be. These caves are, when
illuminated, ver;table fairy dwell
ings, glittering with gems and stud
ded with brilliants. and to the
Imagination recall tie beauties and
glories of Aladdin's palace. Echoing
with the strains of harmonious nu-
sic, and the tripping feet Of fair
dancers, the illusion will be com.
plete. We hope the rumor is true,
and that Mr.. Donnelly will prove to
be the good genie to introduce us to
the realms of enchantment. Certain
ly no more pleasing and enjoyable
IA amer of celebrating the nations
natal day could well be conceived.

PROBABLE ATTENDANCE NEXT YEAR.
Notwithstanding the number of
promotions the primary and inter-
mediate departments will be quite as
numerously attended during the
next year as last, as at least fourteen
children have attained to school age
during the past few months. Mr..
Baker will have a few more scholars
next year than he had last, but Mrs.
Hornick will probably have lesser
number.
The attendance in the various de-
partments during the past year has
been as follows: In the High School

age attendance Is. In the Interme-
date Enrolled, 40; average 33. In
the Primary-Enrolled, IS; average,

be separated.
