SAN Francisco, Oct. 15.-The report OF
the committee appointed by the dissatisfied
shareholders of the Navajo mine TO inves-
tigate the condition Of the mine and the
manner OF working 1t, shows that there is
very little ore OF any value in sight. Pros
pecting is being conducted on the several
levels. A large amount Of drifting has
been done on the 950.foot level without
favorable results. The vein holds strong,
but the rock is nearly barren. There are
about 400 tons OF ore at the mill, in the
ore house aud slowed In the openings OF
the mine, which, 1t ia thought, will yield q
probable average Of $50 per ton.

Empire school Trustees Ousted.


On Monday the Supreme Court Of the
State rendered a decision, ousting the
Board OF School Trustees, which was
elected for Empire School District last
May. The ground OF the decision is that
through the failure OF the Trustees to
qualify before the proper officer they have
no right TO act. The constitutionalisy OF
the law of 1885 Is not brought into the
question in this case. The result for En-
pire District is that the Board which was
elected in 1884 will continue to hold Office
until May next. at least. After the failure
OF the Trustees, who we're elected in May,
to qualify. County Superintendent Of Pub.
lie Schools 8. II. Wright adopted
the view that there was q vacancy, and he
filled the same by appointing the old
Board, which was beaten in May, and they
hold office both by virtue Of the election Of
1884 and OF the appointment.

RENO. Oct. 15.-The ladies' tournament
yesterday attracted a large crowd, the
grand stand being well filled and the car
riage places all occupied. Many were I'M
able to find a post to tic to. Harry Ber-
nard acted as master of ceremonies, with
W. s. Bailey as assistant. Eight ladies
contested, as follows: Mrs. Nicholson,
Miss Savage, Miss Painter, Miss Smith,
Miss Peacock, Miss Raine, Miss A.. Kem-
Ter and Miss J. Kemler. The judges were
State Senator Briggs, E. W. Orutcher and
j. H. Hoppin. The ladies rode for 40
minutes and displayed excellent horsman-
ship. There was not q bad rider among
them. Everybody declared there never
had been q better showing on the track.
The ladies ride again on Friday at IL
O'Clock, when prizes will be awarded at IL
o'clock. The pacing race was called for
the first heat, but the third heat Of the
race was won by Nevada in 2:27, with
Shaker second, Prince third and Acker-
man fourth, but instead Of pacing he ran
almost the entire mile. The driver Of
Shaker was fined SIS for halloing. The
next two heats were also won by Nevada
in the remarkably good time of 1864
and 2:25A. The mile and one-eighth dash
was slow but pretty. The race between
Moonlight and Question was won by the
former in 2:15. The usual time for such
q dash is 1857, and the record l:54A.
The mile dash between BERTHE Il,
Conquest and Little Humboldt, coming
in the order named, the time was 50h.
The mile and a half dash between Acker-
man and Lige Clark was won by Alderman
in 2:43. CLARK had the lead until the
stretch was reached, when the little colored
boy pushed his horse and Alderman
passed under the wire q neck ahead. The

Healthy Hsme Life.

Much of the ill-health so common in
our day is the result of . partial or
total disregard of the condition OF
health in our home life. Overwork Is,
of course, prolific cause Of disease
and sudden death. But the more in
sidious foe is in our homes Lack OF
suitable ventilation; damp cellars; con-
fined and fetid atmosphere; the absence
of sunshine or light; bad cooking; foed
irregularly and unwisely served, and
other causes lead to disease. Among
the more noticeable of these are the
lack of ventilstIon, the absence of light,
and indigestible food. Few houses are
built with view to proper ventilation.
Windows are as a rule the onl v re-
source; and these are unskillfully man
aged. Draughts of air, or more gen.
orally too little fresh air, occasion either
colds or the oppression from breathing
fetid atmosphere. Many adults will
when heated place themselves in the
way of a cold air current. Others do
not ventilate rooms 81 all, but occupy
them year after year with only the ac-
cidental ventilation that may happen tc
be given.
Perhaps the greatest evil of our mod
ern home life is the propensity for
darkened rooms. The light of day Is
as much as possible excluded. Dark
paper on the walls and the windows OBJ
scured make it like night in the bright
est daylight. Many reasons are given
for this. all centering in the idea oil
cleanliness. But sunlight is not only
cleanly, but invigorating. 1t dispels
noxious vapors, and is = health-giving
influence. SUn-baths are recommend
ed as contributive 20 health, and were
more of sunlight admitted into homes,
there would be fewer bleached children
and weak and feeble women. There is
need of reform in this particular.
Fashion. to large extent controls
the preparation food; but in many cases
the subject has not been intelligently
considered at all. Much food in this
country is fried in grease, or bread and
cake are heavy and sodden. or the mix
ture of incongruOus food impairs di-
gestion. The true principal as regards
food is to have it BEAUTIFULLY prepared
so that its nutriment shall be impaired
in its most digestible form, and the sew
eral articles made use of graded with a
view To healthful combination. Prop
erly prepared, it should be cheerfully
and deliberately eaten. At least one
meal in the day should be regarded as
the family assembling time for agree
able conversation and the quiet enjoy
ment of what has been partaken.
Work, and even violent amusement,
should not follow the principal meal of
the day. Food is carelessly prepared
and thoughtlessly selected, hurriedly
eaten and followed. often, either by
prolonged labor or violent amusement.
1t is all wrOng.-Paitadetphid Call.
