The London Mining Journal Of March s
is at hand, from which we copy the fol-
lowing in regard to Eureka mines
RICHMOND.
The usual telegram from the mines al
Eureka, Nevada, stated that the weeks run
was $50, 900 from 900 tons OF ore. During
the week the refinery produced dore bars
to the value of $50, 900. The manager
(Feb. 10Y reported that the Lizette Tunnel
crosscut has been extended 46 feet in bro
ken ground. Work in the face has been
suspended for the time being, and the men
put to drift in a northerly direction or a
we'll defined fissure. The 600 north drift
from the No. IA chute has been advanced
81 feet ground more favorable for drift
ing. The 700 north drift has been run IS
feet ground in the present face more ia
vorable for ore than it has been for the
last so feet driven. The chambers are all
looking well, and turning out the usual
quantity of fair grade ore.

back to get in, and the band wagon,
and the girls jumping through hoops
and the clown, and he is onto the
racket from the jump. You may
try to paralyze him by the story of
Daniel in the den of lions and how
he was saved by his faith in the
power above, and the boys mind
will revert to the circus, where man
in tights and spangles goes in and
bosses the lions and tigers around,
and he will wonder if Daniel had
raw hide, and backed out of the cage
with his eyes on the boss lion. At
certain age circus can hold over
heaven or anything else in a boys
mind, and as long as the circus does
not hurt him, why not shut up shop
and let him go. Ifyou keep him in
school he won't learn any thing. and
he will 60 to the circus in the even
ing, and be up half the night seeing
the canvasmen tear down the tent
and load up, and the next day he is
all broke up and not worth CONT
mental. To some it would look fool
ish to dismiss school for a circus,
but it would cement friendship be-
tween teachers and scholars that
nothing else could. Suppose, a day
or two before a circus arrives, the
teacher should say to the school,
Nov | want you kids to go through
your studies like tramp through a
boiled dinner, and when the circus
comes We will go out doors, see the
procession pass, and in the afternoon
we will close up this ranch and all
60 to the circus, and if any Of you
can't raise the money to go, leave
your names on my desk and | will
see you inside the tent if | have to
pawn my shirt OF course it is a
male teacher we are supposing said
this. Well, don't you suppose these
boys and girls would study? They
would fairly whoop it up. And
then suppose the teacher found forty
boys that hadn't any money to 60,
and he had no school funds to be
used for such a purpose How long
would it take him to collect the
money by going around among the
business men who had been boys
themselves He would 90 into a
store and say he was trying to raise
money enough to take some of the
poor school children to the circus,
and dozen hands would go down
into a dozen pockets in two Jerks of
a continued story, and they would
all chip in.
., we are too smart. We are try
ing to fire education into boys with
shot gun, when we ought to get it
into them inside Of sugar coated
pills. Let US turn over a new leaf
now, and show these boys that we
have got souls in US, and that we
want them to have a good time if
we don't lay up a cent.

reek.s sun.

There is one thing the American
people have got to learn, and that is
to give scholars in schools half hol-
iday when there is circus in town.
We know that we are III advance of
many of the prominent educators of
the country when we advocate such
4 policy, but sooner or later the peo-
pie whose duty it is to superintend
schools will learn that we are right,
and they will have to catch up with
us or resign. In the first place boy
is going to attend circus, If there is
one in town, and the question before
superintendent and teachers should
be. not how to prevent him from GO
ing to the circus, but how to keep
his mind on his books the day be-
fore the circus and the day after.
There have been several million boys
made into liars, by school officials
attempting to prevent them from go
ing to cireuses, and we contend that
it is the duty Of teachers to place as
ew temptations to lie as possible in
the way Of boys. If boy knows
that there viii be no school on the
afternoon Of circus day. he will study
like 4 whitehead all the forenoon.
and learn twice as much as he will
III all day if lie cant 90. If he
Knows that there is a conspiracy on
foot between his parents and tic
teachers to keep him from the circus,
he begins to think Of some lie to
keep out of school. He viii be sick,
or run away, or something. He
will get there, if possible And after
the first lie succeeds IN getting him
out of sehool, he is liar from the
word 90. There is something. some
sort Of electricity that runs from
boy to circus, and eli the teachers
in the world cannot break tie con-
nection. 4 circus is the boys heas
ven. You may talk to him about
the beautiful gates ajar, and the angel
band In heaven that plays around
the great white throne, and he can't
understand it, but the hint about
the circus tent, with the flap pulled

clocks, etc. in satisfactory manner.
He has on hand some very choice
jewelry which can he be persuaded
to part with at low prices for cash.
We found Fin Hooking in
his fathers store surrounded by
immense supplies of goods. He ap-
pears to be good business fellow.
Opposite B. Thomas store is Mr..
Souden's tailor shop, in which are
employed quite number of fascina-
ting girls; on the other side IS one OF
the best stores in town, the principal
clerk of which is a lady. We did
not have cheek enough to visit
either Of these establishments. but
presume they are conducted on cor
rect business principles.
Opposite the Dodgeville hotel are
two good stores, that Of Quick 4
Thompson, and the large dry goods
store adjoining.
The picnic of the German Sunday
school on Thursday afternoon, was
very much Of a success. The pro
cession on Iowa street, headed by
the band presented very creditable
appearance. The stars and stripes
were borne in front of the procession
while the flag of Germany brought
up the rear.
