,a..a- haa been received by a party in
'ro..ns41,a. from 'an Francisco, making
anvion. enauiries concerning said mine,
bur sfter the most searching examination,
and exhaustive enquiries, no such mine
can he found. neither 4 ,es any body know
of such a property in the district nor any
other properties claimed by said company.
90 far as this man McPheters is concerned
there was party with that name in Tue.
son some months ago, who made an a.
tempt to incorporate a company for min
ing and real estate transactions but the
enter.-iSe failed and McPheters returned
to San Francisco. Now comes the above
information that company IS operating
in San Francisco with one McPheters as

Our correspondent from Miner

the SENTINEL of Sept. Goth. sad
that Mess. Calver & Briggs had
got into litigation with each 9TH
er etc. We are authoritatively
informed that our correspondent
was in error and that 80 far from
this being the case, the relations
between these gentlemen, both of
a business and a social nature, are
of the most harmonious kind. We
are glad to be able to make this
correction and in this connection
to correct another error in our
same issue copied from the "Chi-
cage Mining Review" We
quoted that Chicago company
was negotiating for the purchase
of Beals Springs; this is incorrect,
as they have been purchased by
Mr.. Calver for the Cerbat Mining

THE Board of School Trustees

THE Board OF School Trustees
met on Tuesday and decided to
engage teacher and open school
oo Monday next. AS the school
house has been closed 80 Tong,
considerable repairs are requisite.
There is practically not 2 cent IN
the school fund and certificates
of Indebtedness for teachers sala.
ry of the last session are still IN
paid. It seems there were S62 in
the fund but that was paid to the
new Superintendent, on his own
warrant for salary earned, if al
all, long after that of the teacher
was due. Much as we desire to
have the public school of this
District opened, we doubt the
advisahility of engaging teacher
and mourning other Indebtedness
until there be funds in the trea-
sury to pay for them.
The aportionment for Yuma
County Of June was S75. We
would very much like to know
upon what basis it was made. If
we are only to get enough to pay
the salary Of the County Super
intendent and repairs of the
schoolhouse, our children are
likely to get little benefit, and the
taxes we pay for the maintain
ance Of public schools become
Onerous I; certainly the object of
the tax is not merely for the pay
ment of the County Superinten-
dent.
Of the aportionment. which by
law should have been made Sep
TENDER 8th., our treasurer has nc
notice.
Of two ladies one has been Sc
lected +; Miss Lu Hoagland, lately
of San Diego; and the present
plan is that she alone take entire
charge of both departments, male
and female. It would seem a
difficult task TO teach in and SUI
pervise two rooms at once il
Miss Hoagland succeeds in doing
this, she is to receive 500 per
month if an assistants required
that amount is to be divided be-
tween them, though the proper
ton for each has not been deter
mined upon.
The disposition of our present
School Trustees seems to be tC
improve upon the management

tiers. There are many obstacles
to overcome, principally financial
before it can become all that is t.
be desired or that is legal, and we
trust all our citizens will unite

Attempted Assassination Of the Car.

The would>be assassin of the car Is
undergoing examination. The full off.
cial account of the affair says: Toward
eight o'clock, as the emperor was taking
his customary walk, respectfully dressed
man, wearing a military cap with a
cockade, advanced toward him, aud, as
the emperor approached nearer, drew a
revolver from the pocket OF his overcoat
and fired four shots at him. The assassin,

another shot, slightly woundiDg person
In the crowd. The great throng of peo-
pie which had assembled enthusiastically
cheered and congratulated the emperor,
who thanked them for their proofs of
fidelity on such painful occasion He
said he knew he had the su oport of all
respectable people; he hoped that God
would grant that he might complete his
task, which consisted in promoting the
welfare of Russia.

some minutes. On recovering from his
emotion he said: "This is the third time
God has saved me-" 1t is supposed that
the emperor's assailant took poison before
his attempt, as he vomited after his
arrest. Poison was also found under his

thirty years OF age. He fred at the EN-.

Terrible Explosion Of Fire-Damp In a

CURED at the KaitaDgata coal mine,
Dunedin, New ZEALAND, on the 2lst of

boy were in the mine, all of whom were
killed, the boy being blown distance of
fifty yards. Over one hundred children
were rendered fatherless by the accident
At the mines mouth the air was filled
with the lamentations of women and
children. 1t was sad sight to see the
dead men brought out one by enc and
laid on stretchers. All the faces, ex-
cept two, appeared as If In sleep, but
the two youths who had had charge OF
the horses were battered about the head,
having been blown SINE distance. A
thick green smoke hung like pail over
the tunnel for about ten minutes. The
mine Is entered by a main drive or
tunnel. The workings rise as they PEN
etrate the hill, and the fall which assists
the drainage causes foul air to accumu.
late In the upper end OF the mine. Toe
workings extend about i've hundred
yards from the entrance. Most OF the
men appeared TO have escaped the FIRST

were overpowered hy The sfter-damp."
Some Of them pushed along from one to
two hundred yards before they fell. At
one place thirteen bodies were found In
