LELAND GRAY sEMINARY-REPoRr OF THE
COMMITTEE ON THE SPRING EXAMINATIONS.
90 Tho closing exercises Of the spring term
of this institution took place on Friday. the
18th inst. The day was filed with the exam
nation of classes the evening with a credit
able exhibition of rhetorical exercises and
music. The undersigned members of the
committee were present at the exercises, and
were more than satisfied with the evidence
given of thorough work done in all depart
ments. The English language and algebra
classes, under Mrs. Kenyon's tuition, appear
ed very well indeed. Miss Preston's classes
in botany, geometry aud higher algebra did
her great credits also Miss Browns pupils in
elocution and reading. 1t is needless to saw
that Principal Boynton's methods in teaching
the classics and natural philosophy are of the
best We understand that the past year has
been one OF the most successful in a long
time. There has been an increase of nearly
thirty pupils in attendance over any previous
year of Prof Boynton's management As a
larger number of old students return from
year to year, there is also gratifying ad-
vance in the grade of scholarship. At the
same time the number and ability of the
teaching staff is probably greater than ever
before in the nearly half century of the
schools history. The citizens of Townshend
anu VI Sount1 10 Do con RFhtu-
lated on having a school of so high an order
at their doors but it cannot be maintained,
much less brought up to the requirements of
the present day, without substantial aid. 1t
is not maintained, as the numerous high
schools of Massachusetts and other states are
sustained, at the public expense. It depends
solely on the voluntary contributions of public
spirited men. A commodious boarding or
lodging house for the young ladies ought to
be provided at once. moderate endow-
ment is also essential to permanence and
healthy growth. Shall not an institution
which has done SO much and deserves SO we'll
of the county be more generously sustained 2
Prof. Boynton has done his part he has held
on for nearly six years in the face of great
difficulty and encouragement. Who will step
forward promptly, supply the pressing need,
and make this institution permanent bless
ing to this section of the state.

Continues to show more and better ore as the work of development progresses. A small vein of black metal, which the workmen had considered worthless, was tested a few days since, and to the sur prise of every one proved to be remark ably liioh in silver. It is now believed to be species of black sulphurets The body of galona in the fifty-foot level has not beet cut through yet, and is solid in the breast of the level Those who have inspected the property recently, are en- thusiastic over its showing The aasess- ment work on

 For this year has just been completed and shows a four-foot ledge of good mineral. Mir W. D. Johnson is the owner Work is progressing on the
 GREY KAGLR. X new shaft has been started, and at s depth of fourteen feet shows some excel lent mineral, some of which assayed as high as $500 The ledge is 5! feet be- ly all the way across. This claim is the first south extension of the Nelson and is owned by w. D. Johnson, N. B. Witt, Mrs Vim Hyde and John A Lewis
 THE GREY WOLF
 Shows very large ledge. It is eighteen feet across the surface of the ledge proper and at the point where the workings arc located large feeders come in and form < junction with the main ledge, making an immense chimney of ore, in which there is vein of pay-rock fourteen feet uide, eight feet of which carries galenA in masses. This is opened up by thirty foot tunnel, and the workmsn are now building a station at the breast of the tun- mel, preparatory to sinking winze fifty feet vertically At the bottom of this winze a cross-cut will be made to deter mine the width of the ledge at that depth. The surface rock has been literally charred by the action of volcanic heat, but Tn the tunnel which cuts the ledge some distance below the surface, the formation is more solid and shows gradual qualification as depth is attained. Tho claim is conven- tent to water, and good natural road leads from the dump to Florence. L. L. Remy is the owner of the claim, having bought out his partner before the development work commenced. We believe this will prove to be one of the best properties in the district snd congratulate Louie upon having acquired the sole ownership of it.

IT IS to be hoped that the present con gress will make some provision for the veterans of the Mexican war. There are numbers of these veterans on the Pacific coast who are enfeebled by age to such . degree that they are incapable of earning living by manual effort and yet possess no other means of support. Many of these were engaged in lucrative business when the call for volunteers was issued, but feeling that their individual interests were secondary to those of their country, they sacrificed them on the altar of pat rlotism and liberty. TheyNsSyed through the war, receiving, as q compensation for risking their lives and enduring all man. ner of hardship, the pitiful stipend of eight dollars per month. At the close of the campaign they returned home to find themselves impoverished in purse and com pelled to begin anew the strggle for finan- cial independence with the best days of their manhood spent. A few of the more fortunate ones have succeed in regaining their lost vantage ground, while the great CT number have been gradually reduced to helpless poverty Repeated efforts have been made to induce congressional recognition of their services and needs, but SO far the national savants have treat ed the subject with almost stolid indiffer- snco. If congress would only force re- form in the pension office they could save enough from the munifcent sum paid out to frudulent pensioners to comfortably maintain the Mexican veterans.

The returns are all in the office of the company, which speak well for the mine. The company do not wish to ship any more ore, but are going to erect a mill. They are selling part of the stock at present for that purpose. I under stand that they have already disposed of about 5000 shares It is one of the best investments that 1 know of at present, in the Territory, and your humble servant went right down to the bottom of his pocket and purchased nice slice, and would advise every one, before it goes out of their reach, to supply themselves with some of the stock, because, in a. short time the company will be paying divi- dends. saw some of the Benton ore in the office of the company that assays s1, 100, and they have considerable of such ore.
