HALE AND NoRoRoss.- Virginia
Chronicle Of the 23d says: The entire
face of crosscut No. on the 1900 level of
the Norcross is now said to be in ore.
Some very fine specimens taken from
there was shown to Chronicle reporter
this morning. A crosscut, it will be re.
membered, was started from the end of
the north lateral drift on the 1900, the
lateral drift being gradually swung
around to due west. After advancing in
that direction about so feet, it vas found
that the vein was swinging around, and
the course of the crosscut was changed
from due west to northwest yesterday, in
which direction it is now being driven
and is said to have passed from "borasca
into bonanza" Last evening they began
drifting north and south on the vein, at a
point in west crosscut No. on the 5000
level, about IS feet west of the main
lateral drift. A box containing very fine
ore taken from the face of the north and
south drifts from the crosscut, was also
shown the reporter. Mr.. George w.
Grayson, President Levy, Maurice Hoe.
fitch, Archie Borland and Supt. Heating
were all engaged in examining the ore
taken from the 5000 level this morning
when the reporter called. MIR. Borland
was in very pleasant mood, and said.
There has been a wonderful improve
ment in the face of the crosscuts on both
the 29O0 and 5000 levels in the last "a
hours"
THE School CENSUS FRAUD.--I the
past there have been murmurings against
the unfairness of certain school districts
in taking the school census, by including
children who had no actual residence,
but constructive by reason Of the fathers
temporary residence. The law as amend
ed requires the Census Marshal when
practical, to visit each habitation, and by
actual observation and investigation emu
merate the census children of the same,
under is years of age and over six, who
was residents of his district on the first
day of May, and gives him power to ad.
minister oats to parents and guardians.
He must not include in his report non
resident children who are attending in
his district, institutions of learning, be.
nevolent institutions such as deaf, dumb,
blind and orphan asylums nor other chill.
dren not actually residing in his district.
} In default of making the proper reports
and performing the duties imposed upon
him, the Census Marshal is subject to a
fine or imprisonment, or both. These
suggestions are made so that school Of
ficials and patrons may be advised in this
J branch of school matters. Justice to the
various localities demands that there
should be fair count in taking the cen.
sus of school children Reno Gazette.
