About seven o'clock yesterday even

rences which happen sometimes, but
seldom, In the lives Of us oil, there wa
in the police court Of THE city an cppor-
tuuity which Thousands Of men would
eagerly. have taken advantage Of, and
the lack of which has often been lamen-
ted with sobs and signs and bitter
tears. 1t was IN opportunity to recover
lost time.
Two rather knowing looking boys,
with that air OF knowing the world
which generally characterises metro

SCHOOL MATTERS.
4 Week Of Vacation to Come
The School Building Accepted.

No Official announcement has been
made to this effect, but there can be but
little doubt that it is a fact that the
Trustees Of School District No. l have
accepted the brick school building,
which was the occasion of 90 much ron.
troversy last November, and that they
will shortly occupy 1t for school pur.
poses.
Yesterday closed the public schools in
the Caplfce building, the term for which
they were rented having expired June
Let. Next week there will be q school
holiday. during which time arrsnee-
ments will be made for q change Of quar-
tess' This change Of quarters will now
necessarily bring about the immediate
occupation OF the public school building
proper the repairs Of which by Messrs.

tica'ly finished. OF the wisdom Of this
step the taxpayers and parents must Of
course be the judges, the position Of the
MINER on this question being too well
known, and the merits Of the case bav-

There are several gentlemen now In
Butte who hsse just returned from ex-
|, tended vislts to other unining distrietu
and to the Eastern cities. They have
naturally had IN opportunity tn observe,
investigate and como 10 coaclssjon ~
to the comparative merits Of Butte aud
other mine., - well - Of the facility
With which Eastern capital win be In
ves:ed in the mines Of thin district.
One Of them, who has been absent In
Boston and New York for several
months, notices on bis return . great
change in the appearance Of many OF
the blocks in the central part q the city,
owing to the large number Of new build
ings completed and now I'm process Of
construction. He also notices fewer idle
men on the streets. He says that the
Wood River country is attracting the
attention Of Eastern capital to . large
degree, to the temporary exclusion Of
Butte mines, Of the real merits Of which
the greater mass Of the money-holding
public seem utterly ignorant. Some Of
them point to Alice stock, and say div
idends have ceased, the stock has gone
down from seven and eight to three dol
lars share, this h your only listed div
idend-paying mine what else are We
to Judge by?'
The men who ask these questions
would seem to trust entirely to their
eye.ight, without employing their rea-
son. At 40 little ~ three dollars . share
the valuation Of the Alice mine alone is
nearly million and halt, and itshould
be remembered that when . company
puts into valuable and tangible surface
improvements, or spends in the explora-
ton Of rich ere-bodies of ascertained ex-
istence the money that would otherwise
go In dividends, the stockholders are
rather gamers instead Of losers.
The other well-informed mining man
stated yesterday that while there was
comparatively little surface stir, the OPP
erations of the mines, mills and slnelt-
eTs of this district are continuous, and
indeed increasing, in the value of their
results. More capital is needed. The
mines of silver and copper are here, the
men who know where they are and
how to work them are here. "There IS
the Anselmo, from which handsome
fortune was taken out in few months,
that will soon be started up again on =
substantial pecuniary basis. know
this, because an. engineer who used to
be there, has been re-engaged. There
ale 90 many silver mines here new that
need mills0f their own. Just ~ you
said yesterday in the MINER, Of the
number Of copper mines that could now
support sme)ters Of their own, and the
fact that those that now have them
could run smelters Of double the capac-
ity, 90 there are now here . halfdosen
Of silver mines which need mills Of
their own impesatively, and will have
them, too, before six months. There's
the Anselmo, the Wabash, the sheri-
dan, the Morning Star, and, indeed,
more than have time to .enumeGate.
Why, only this morning I saw on the
dump ore from the lower level Of the
Morning Star which was rich with wire
silver"
