The Public schools.

We are indebted to the courtesy Of
Deputy Secretary of State James G. Ches-
ley, says the Virginia Enterprise. for q
copy of Assembly Bill No. 1876, which
passed the last Legislature, and the pro-
visions Of which it Is believed have the
tendency to close some of the schools.
The existence of such a law is not gener-
ally known, and probably would not be
until the statutes are published. The fol-
lowing is a copy of the bill /:
SECTION /. When the State and county
money to which any district is entitled is
not sufficient to keep school open in such
district at least three months in each
year, it is hereby made the duty of the
Trustees OF each district to levy, and they
shall levy, a district tax upon the taxable
property in such district sufficient to raise
an amount, which, together with the State
and county money to which such district
is entitled, will keep school open three
months in each year, and such tax shal be
assessed, equalized and collected, in the
ann prescribed for assessing, equaliz-
ing and collecting taxes voted for furnish
ing additional school facilities in Sections
Al and 40 of this Act. And it shall not be
lawful for the Trustees of any School Dis
trict, the fund Of which is exhausted, to
incur any debt, or pledge the credit OF
their district fer any amount that canno
be paid by the income of the district dur
ing the year in which such liabilities are
incurred. Any contract made in violation
of the provisions Of this section shall be
null and void.
Approved March Z, 1881.

There are three mining districts OF the
Wood River range, and the character Of
the ores vary with each. There are found
cake galena and ~carbonates, carrying sixty
to seventy per cent lead-sulphurets and
antimonial silver running into the thou
sands. Further up the range the mineral
is found in calcareous shale. spar. iron and
quartz. All the districts have developed
paying mines. The whole region is well
watered by Big and Little Wood Rivers,
fed by streams from every canyon and
mountain gorge. The water power is suffi-
cient for mills and mining; the mountains
well wooded with forests Of red fir and
black pine, spruce, etc. This Is the coun-
try the Bannock Indians fought for several
years ago claiming 1t as a i hunting ground.
1t is full OF game Of all kinds. elk, deer,
antelope, bear, and the lesser spoils OF the
h~unt-grouse and prairie chickens; while
beaver, otter and mink abound. The
smaller streams are filled with mountain
trout. while the river has q seemingly in
exhaustible stock OF the larger trout.
Warm springs are found every few miles.
Owing to the elevation--5,5 500 foet = agri-
culture may not prove practicable, but the
numerous valleys Of the mountains and
camas p~rairies to the southwest furnish the
finest grazing country in the world-bunch
grass thick as 1t can grow and innumera-
lie streams in every direction.

CAPTAIN ADAMS NOT DEAD.
His COuditiOn-Oliver and Sclsan.
der Charged with Assault to Muir
der-Adams is at the city Receiv.
ing Hospital.

Especial to the SENTINEL
SAN Francisco, March Is. James
Adams is in a very low condition, with
about n chance in a hundred of recover
ing, by virtue of a strong constitution.
Oliver, whom Adams accuses Of holding
him, while Schander shot him, has been
charged with assault to murder, for his
share in the affair. The same charge has
been entered against Schander. The state
ments of the book-keeper throw no further
light on the ARRAY. He did not see the
beginning of the trouble. Both parties
had been drinking pretty freely, though
neither seemed to be drunk q few mo-
ments. after the shooting.
The following dispatch was received by
j. L. Hinckley, Esq, at 1880 O'Clock last
evening:
Adams is at the City Receiving Hospital.
He is in a critical condition. There is some
little hope Of his.recovery.

The stock

The San Francisco Daily Report Of the
12th has the following "The market was
at the opening to-day still sliding gently
but steadily down the hill. with the length
and general declivity Of the hill very un-
certain. The touching Of bottom has been
so frequently announced OF late that a free
discussion has arisen as to whether there
is any bottom at all. and whether a fathom-
less abyss does not lie at the foot Of the
hill down which we are gliding. The
bottom, however, seems to be at about
2.700 feet at the north end and about
2,b0 at the other; though the bonanza
firm, or the Alta crowd or some other
syndicate may have erected q bulkhead to
arrest the downward course of the market
and perhaps q series OF hydraulic rams to
send it up again. On some such event the
weaker bulls hang their hopes, while the
stronger are quite content to pay assess
ments and await developments"

THE OPERA BOUFFERs.
A short biography OF Some Of the
Ladies' of the Troupe.

Ladies' Of the Troupe.
The personnel of the Melville Opera
Company, which is to open here next Mon
day evening, is above the average stan
dard Of travelling combinations. The
leading ladies, Emelie Melville, Oracle
Plaisted and Lily Post, hold enviable
positions in social circles Of San Francisco.
Emelie Melville is the wife Of a gentleman
named Derby. Her mother is a well
known dramatic teacher, and she has a
brother in the Bank of California. She is
a great favorite with the amusement pub
lie, and highly esteemed by her many
friends for her social and womanly yir-
tues. As a vocalist and actress she has
few, if any, equals in her line. She made
her debut on the lyric stage in Australia
about four years ago, aud scored a great
success. Previous to her a%ntipodian trip
she held the position Of leading juve-
nile lady at the California Theater, where
she became very popular. On return
ing to San Francisco, some two years
since, she appeared as Josephine in Pima
fore, and invested the character with such
charming grace and sang the part SO
sweetiy that it created a perfect furore.
From that time to the present she has
been the local prima donna, and rendered
the leading roles Of almost every comic
opera. Her voice is as fresh and rich as
ever, though some of the carping and
morbid critics Of the San Francisco press
claim that it has lost some Of its purity.
OF this, however, Eurekans will be allowed
to Judge for themselves on Monday even
ing. Miss Oracle Plaisted is a little lady,
with a voice OF wonderful power, compass
and sweetness. In many Of the operas she
divides the honors with Miss Melville.
Her voice is OF marvellous volume, and she
can, without an extra effort, make the
largest theater vocal with melody. She
has a great many admirers in San Fran
cisco, where, before her recent entrance
upon the stage, she was frequently heard
in concerts. Miss Lily Post is a pretty
blonde, and has a sweet, but not strong,
voice, Of considerable compass. She is an
arch and captivating actress. Her hus-
band, Frank Blair, holds q position in
the Mint. and is a nephew Of the late Attor-
ney General Blair OF Washington. That
this bevy OF vocalists captured and en-
livened the hardy Comstockers is not sur
prising. and that they will play the same
role in Eureka Is not for q moment to be
uuestioned.

I'm a Terrible Dilemma.

The ring is an emblem of deep signif-
canoe among young people, and the ex-
change Of the gaudy article not infre-
quently marks true and lasting affec ton,
providing the transfer is made from gen.
tlsman to lady. The custom, however, OF
ladies giving gentlemen their rings as a
sign of q mash" is Of late origin. es-
pecially in Eureka, and is not likely to be-
come popular, as the following incident
will show: Our pretty waiter girls are
quite generously supplied with jewelry,
and the fingers of a number Of them spar
kle with the lustrous diamond and the
new-fapgled horseshoe gen.. The girls,
in q spirit Of Irritation, occasionally allow
some OF their young gentleman friends to
wear their rings for a week or more, when
they are returned with smiles and thanks.
Once in possession Of the ring the favorite
Lothario is not slow in showing ii to his
friends, as an evidence Of his solidity in a
certain quarter and as q boast that he has
cut the other fellows clean out. But the
tables were turned on one OF these happy
"mashers " the other evening. The young
lady he was in the habit OF visiting was
quietly appraised Of his conquests with the
pretty walters, and an evening party
was arranged at which he was n
Of the principal guests. When the COM
pany had all arrived, the young lady's
eyes, as II by accident, fell upon the gen.
tleman's jeweled hands, and with a mis-
chievous twinkle in her lovely orbs, she
exclaimed, "Oh, what pretty ringsl Where
in the world did you get them 7" The
explosion in the Richmond mine did not
creata more CONSERVATION among the
Albion miners than did this reference to
the rings in the mind Of the handsome
society man. The hues OF the rainbow
paled before his changing c%olors, while
his friends were almost bursting with
emotion at his discontinue. But they
couldn't give themselves away, and were
compelled to suppress their effervescing
feelings. After q few hens and baws he
remembered Claude Melnotte's liberal
expedient, and claimed that they be-
longed to some aunts and cousins, long
since dead, but were treasures which he had
stored away in his trunk and just thought
of bringing them to light. They were so
attractive that the young lady begged the
privilege Of wearing one Of them. Under
no consideration, however, would he part
with them; they were souvenirs OF the
| dead, and he wouldn't lose one OF them
for the world. The evening was spent in
| solicitations and entreaties, but it was OF
no use, the gentleman left with his bor-
| rowed Jewels. He returned them to their
rightful owners the same night, and swears
| he will never be caught in such q terrible
| dilemma again. His young friends have
! armed themselves in fear Of the SENTINEL
| letting the cat out of the bag, and we may
vet be called upon to chronicle O sensation.

Another Addiction.

The Appeal says: Carson may congrat-
ulate herself, in a Pickwickian sense, that
on st. Patrick's day the notorious petty
thief and would-be murder er, Johnny
Davis, is to be released from the State
Prison. This fellow, prior to his convic-
ton, was for a number Of years a constant
eye-sore to this community. Upon his
restoration to liberty it will be advisable
for the local authorities to give him a
tie pass to some other locality, otherwise
he will soon again be a source OF expense
to the taxpayers Of 0rmsby county. He
was sent to the State Prison for sneaking
up behind a man in q cowardly manner
and hitting him over the head with a
bludgeon. Before that there was scarcely
a week that he was not hauled up in the
Justice Court on some charge Of petty lar
ceny and the like.

The stars.

The astronomers tell us that there are
about 5000 stars visible TO the naked eye,
and that there are $1,000. 900 stars In the
Milky Way. Even the stars that We call
fixed are in constant motion. Arcturus
moves through space three times as fast as
the earth, but 1t takes q hundred years to
move the eighth part Of the apparent di-
ameter Of the moon. No doubt there may
be SEINE persons who deny these facts be-
cause they are not found in the ommon
almanac. but the student Of nature can
soon satisfy himself Of their reality by
mounting one Of our high ridges during a
clear, cold night and scanning the frma-
ment for Ave or six hours steadily.

the Connecting Link,

The Salt Lake Tribune says that 800
men are actively engaged in grading q
railroad through Salina Pass, Utah. This
road is the connecting link between two
great lines reaching from Colorado and the
Pacific. and having for its terminus Salt
Lake City, The same company who are
building this road are also interested in
the Utah & Nevada line. Should the road
be completed, the former will pass in the
immediate vicinity Of the Pleasant Valley
coal beds ; and coke can then be furnished
at one-half the rates which are now paid
for it in Eureka. There is every induce
ment for the completion Of these roads,
and the chances are very much in favor Of
our shortly having, by them, direct East
ern communication.
