house and ice house. An extension has
been built to the boiler room. covering
the new set OF boilers. Trestlework has
been extended north and south from the
shaft, which will afford ample dumping
room for waste rock for years to come.
There are now on hand zoe, 600 feet
OF mining timber, 1000 cords Of wood,
and q suficient supply Of iron and other
material TO meet requirements for some
timo.
The company has purchased q one
third interest In the property known as
the Union shaft. The company has
also purchased the Eureka mill. which
has sixty stamps and . crushing capacity
of $50 tons in "a hours, thoroughly re-
paired and added many improvements TO
it. which places it in frst.class condition
for work.
The report concludes as follows: The
ore body now known to exist from the
2lOO level to the 2400 level 10 bat par.
TALLY developed, and the extent OF 1t
will remain unknown until such Q time
as the Union shaft Ia completed and the
large body Of water known to exist can
be removed with economy. The extrac.
ton OF the ore. a. II now appears. will
probably cause the abandonment OF q
present incline as . working opening.
Our relay system Of working 10 q very
expensive one. and It Is my opinion that
the company will eventually have to
s;rL tha main abaft In n greater depth,
or sink an incline from the bottom OF
this shaft. This work would be inval'
liable for ventilation, as well As being .
more central point for the working OF
the mine.
The changes for the better taking
place in the formation. as We acquire
depth and advance northward, looks
very encouraging for the future pros.
perity Of the mine.

GRADING THE SCHOOLS.

Hill Scholars Ia vlrgiuia.

The Committee to which has beer
referred the matter OF establishing uni
form grades for the schools Of Storey
county assembled yesterday evening a
the Fourth Ward School Virginia. Su
perintsndsnt Young pre- siding. Score
tary Baker wal called Don to read The
minutes OF the Saturday evening meet
ing. he had not the documents with
him, but produced Tuesdays issue OIL
the News and manifested q willingness
to read the account there published,
which he said was full and correct. The
COMMITTEES escaped the ipfiction OF q
column and o half OF their previous
doings by sxousing the Secretary from
reading the minutes.
Chairman Young reported that since
last meeting Of the committee he had
seen the members OF the State Board
and that they would decide upon the pro.
posed changes In text books for the
schools this week. He had been assured
however that changes would not be
made except In readers and srithmetics
and possibly not In both Of those.
Professor Gray suggested the pro.
priety Of a~djourning till the changes
we're actually made, since grades could
not be perfected under present circum.
stances. This was subsequently, done,
the committee 10 meet at the call OF the
chairman.
There was Q sort OF intellectual love
feast among the principals subsequent
TO the adjournment, during which It was
brought to light that In the Fourth
Ward school. Virginia, there were
twsnty.six scholars who had been
transferred during the year from the
Gold Hill schools. Prof. Willis. Of the
Third Ward School, had six, and Prof.
Gray, OF the First Ward. eight; total, 40.
Prof. Young could not tell the number
transferred from Virginia to Gold Hill.
But the above statement shows the ne
cessity which exists for Q uniform grade
throughout the county.
It was informally talked, further, con-
corning the grades TO DO established, that
they should be fixed rather In regard to
subjects or topics than pages In any
tsxt book. For instance. In arithmetic,
compound numbers should precede frac.
lions In the order Of teaching, whether
placed before or after fractions In the
text book.
It was understood also that q uniform
grade could not be introduced before the
end OF the present term.

Distries Court

The following business was trans
acted In the District Court this morning:
Royce vs.. Hampton. administrator Of
tho Ford estate, ct al.-Judsment rom
dered, then decree held In allegiance at
request OF plaintiffs attorney to hear
further argument and authorities. Judge
Rising said that the Court had been Of
the opinion that It was the duty Of an
administrator. In case he knew Of some
person claiming to be an heir. Of an
estate, to notify the Court Of that fact.
Il was now satisfied that there was no
authority requiring him to give such In.
formation to the Court. The plaintiff
was aware Of the death Of Mrs. Ford,
and that the defendant, Hampton. con.
templated the settlement Of her estate.
Plaintiff claimed, and the proof In tho
case showed him to be. q brother OF the
deceased, and, had he presented his
claim, might have inherited the real
estate; yet he took no steps to prove and
establish his rights further than to write
one or two letters asking how the bust.
ness Of settling the estate was getting
along. He had. through his W
laches, allowed the defendant Ford
to claim to DO sole heir Of deceased.
Notices had bsen published all along.
according to law, and for two years the
plaintiff had taken no steps to prove his
heirship. The estate had been legally
settled. It was not the province OF
equity to step in and relieve when there
had bcen such laches on the part Of the
applicant. There had been NO fraud
practiced on the Court, and the plaintiff
had, by his laches, waived all right to
the estate. The Court would allow the
plaintiffs attorneys to cite further
authorities. but the foregoing were Its
present convictions. Tho attorneys for
the plaintiff had sven admitted that aside
from the alleged fraud practiced on the
Court tho plaintiff wal not entitled to
relief. It was clearly not the duty OF
the administrator to inform the Court or
even suggest the existence Of the plant.
if in this case. Hence. no fraud had
been practiced on the Court.

The Walhalla is near Ratisbon.
What the Temple of Fame is for Ba-
varia. this "Hall of the Chosen "is for
the Germanic tribes, for the distin-
guished of the fatherland. 1t is by its
marvellous grandeur and beauty a fit
dwelling-place for the immortals of Ger
many. 1t cost over "a, 100000 1t stands
very conspicuously on an eminence
commanding an extensive view of the
Danube and the neighboring country.
1t is modern Partheneon, constructed
of gray, unpublished marble, and is
reached by three terraces of marble
steps. Fifty-two columns of the Doric
order surround the building. The in.
terror, by its luxurious magnificence
and beauty, fills the spectator with rapt
astonishment. The floor is mosaic of
smooth, variegated marble. The hall is
1870 feet long, fifty feet broad, fifty-six
feet high, and is richly decorated with
gilded ceiling and lighted from above.
The ceiling is supported by fourteen
Carytides. the warrior virgins of the
ancient German paradise, whose duty it
was to carry off the fallen heroes from
the field of battle and introduce them
into Walhalla These figures separate the
upper wall into compartments, in which,
on red and white marble plates, are
written in golden letters, the names of
sixty-four Walhalla inmates such as
Alaric, Theodore, Ulfias, Alfred the
Great, Clovis, Bede, Alcuin, Charlie
magne, Hildegard, ETC., of whom no
hkenesses are to be found. Above these
names runs frieze around the entire
hall, executed by Wagner, representing
the religious and domestic life, the his
tory of the German aborigines, down to
the introduction of Christianity. The
lower walls are divided into compart-
mems also, in which are placed busts,
and in the center of each group is placed
female figure to represent the genius
OF victory. The famous artist, Rauch,
executed these. One hundred and one
marble busts have been deemed worthy
of admission into the Walhslla. re-
call the names Of Copernicus, Herschel,
Rubens, Van Dyke, Kant, Goethe,
Schiller, Hayden, Frederick. Butcher,
Gluck, Maria Theresa, Charles ",
Wallenstein, Luther. Lewis, who
founded this editice, was such a bigoted
Romanist that he would not admit
Luther. Since his abdication, wiser
counsels have prevailed, and the noble
reformer has his proper place. DR.. J. L.

HOnOring the Printing Press.

Says contributor in the atlantic
MonthT: Saavedra, whose father was
at one time president of the State of
Trujilli, was sent abroad to study, with
number of young men, by the Vene-
zulean government On returning to
his country he resolved to devote HIM
self to the education and elevation of his
countrymen, preferring TO begin his
work III Bocono-faf in the interior-and
rejecting all preferred advantages, SO
tempting to youu1 Venezuelans, held
out by friends in yle larger cities who
earnestly desired him to make name
for himself, and mot bury himself in the
Interior" He lives in the Cordilleras,
in the most beautiful valley, full OF
trees, with three rivers, all large
enough for boats, where the climate is
a little cooler than in Caracas. When
Saavedra returned from Europe he
founded society for recreation and
progress, hired two large rooms and
began to form library. Each member
gave book or two, so that now they
have $50 volumes and a number of peri
odicals. The library is open all night,
and the workingmen go there to read.
Next, Saavedra proposed to buy a
printing press. Immense enthusiasm.
Every body contributed; "eighty
proudly. The money was sent to the
United States, and they soon heard that
the famous press was in Curacao. Then
it was proposed to make a great fiesta
in honor of its arrival. When they
heard that the press was on the road
and almost there, eighty people on horse
back went to receive it. There were
thirty ladies, each with small flag and
a wreath of flowers. When they
reached the cart with the press they
covered it and the packages with the
flags and flowers, and conducted it in
triumph to Bocono. They dedicated the
square with music and speeches, and in
the evening met in the library. Imag-
inc it-they had never seen a printing
press! The printer came from the cap
ital, Trujillo. Saavedra says there was
a breathloss silence when the press was
put in motion, and as the sheet was
drawn out with the declaration of the
independence of Venezuela printed on
it, every one, ladies, gentlemen and the
populace in the doors and windows,
burst into cheers.
