The school Question.

The Supreme Court In Carson on last
Saturday decided the Genoa case, which
was brought up on quo w%arranto proceed
ings to test the validity Of the election of
School Trustees in last May. The law an.
thorizipg the election Ia declared unconsti-
~tutional and imperative by reason OF the
fact that q term OF Office il created for the
period Of five years. and this u%nconstitu-
tiousl portion il 30 intermixed with the
other portions of the Act that the whole
must fall. While some had entertained the
idea that the provisions Of the Act OF 1885
authorizing the election of three Trustees
for the Terms respectively Of one. two and
three years might be segregated from the
other provisions so as to be operative in
every school district, says the Carson
Index. yet the Court finds that even this ia
imprxcticable without doing unwsrrant-
able violence to the peculiar wording Of
the Act. II is probably better all round
that the Court has arrived at the couclu-
sions announced above. II leaves the old
law operative and plain.

Mackay's View OF the Norcross.

A San Francisco Post reporter inter-
viewed John W. Mackay recently on his
(Mackay's) visit to the lower levels Of the
Hale and Norcross. Mr.. Mackay said he
found that a very large amount of work
had been done in the lower levels since his
last visit, and that there had been q great
snd general Improvement in the mine
over what it was when he last saw it. He
said that the mine contained everything
except a big body of ore, meaning by this
that while such q body had not yet been
found, the conditions and surroundings Oh
the lower levels were very favorable for
such q discovery. 1t was one OF the like
lest and most favorable formations for
such q find that he had seen in late years
in the Comstock. The ground contained
a network of small veins, seams and
punches Of quartz giving good assays, and
If under the favorable condition OF things,
some OF them we're to concentrate together
in come spot and form one large mass OF
highly mineralized material there would be
a prosperous era for the old Comstock.
That WAS the problem in q nut she'll, and
future Developments alone can solve this
problem. Mr.. Mackay was pleased with
the facilities which they have at this point
for working the ledge at the great depth
OF 5000 to $500 feet, and said that
through these facilities and the almost
direct communication with the surface,
the operations can be carried on with
comparative cheapness, and that ii would
not require a body of very high grade ore
to make a paying proposition under such
