Result of Its Treatment I'm Cali
fOrnia.
DR.. Bean, of Battle Mountain, and ]. G.
Morgan OF Lewis, own the Pittsburg mine,
Lewis District. about 10 miles from Battle
Mountain. Two weeks ago they took II
tons Of their ore to Grass Valley, Califor-
mia, to have it crushed. The Tidings
speaks Of their result as follows:
The ore was taken to the Omaha mill,
where it was carefully worked. and the
yield was $50 per ton, the gold being OF
very fine quality. The Pittsburg ledge is
IL feet in width and $500 feet has been
located thereon. As soon as it is conven-
lent, Messrs. Bean and Morgan intend
erecting a mill upon the property, but
until arrangements can be made for the
mill they will ship 10 tons Of quartz ore to
Grass Valley every other day, for milling.
There ia a little silver in the ore,
but we could not learn the exact
per cent. The amount of sui
phurets saved from the crushing
was very small. The II tons of ore sent to
Grass Valley was not selected at all, but
was the general average Of the rock as II
came from the ledge. The owners of the
Pittsburg have made a special contract
with the railroad company for shipping
their ore, and therefore Grass Valley mills
will do the crushing for some time to come,
While here, Messrs. Bean and Morgan had
several handsome offers for stock in the
P~ittsburg, but they declined them all. Tht
gentlemen speak very favorably OF the
future of the country around Battle Noun
tain, and say it is not unlikely but that oui
town will have to build more mills for the
purpose of testing ores from that region
They are immensely satisfied with Grass

many OF yonr readers to know where
Mount Hope District is situated. 1t is rs
miles north from Eureka, on the line OF
the E. & P. II. r., q mile west from the
road. 1t was formerly known as McGarry
District, and like many others, it wa
abandoned for want of practical knowledge
and the necessary development Of its min
eral deposits. Some years ago Hon.

THE UPPER GRADES.
An Afternoon Among n Larger
Boys and Girls.

Boys and Urls.
The public school examination in the
department taught by Prof. T. P. McDon-
aid and Miss Wright began yesterday
afternoon and will be finished this morn
ing. The first branch Of study on the
programme was grammar, not, SO to say,
in the rudiments, but wherein the in
t~ricacies OF the ~''grammarless tongue are
presented for analysis-that sphere in
which particular attention to words is less
considered and their arrangement into sem
fences is particularly discussed. We have
no doubt that the larger girls and boys did
what any judge OF school work would pro-
nounce good. A considerable number Of
visitors were pleased, and one Of them said
afterwards: 81 wonder when l go to the
school house and listen. You see children
on the street and you don't suspect them
of knowing anything much. Hear them
recite and they surprise you. 1t is really
remarkable what they do know" After

Constitution Of the United States-the

presents it. The teachers object in the
lessons of the outgoing term was merely
to give his pupils a general idea Of the
broad basis upon which our Government
rests-what the three departments of it
are, the legislative, the judicial and the
executive; who the President is and what
his duties are, and 80 also of the United
States Senate and Representative; how
the laws Of the country are made, etc.
These are things every citizen Of intelli-

Immediately useful branch of common

that the class examined showed themselves
pretty familiar with the skeleton frame Of
their country's government.
