One Member of the Firm Seems to Have an
Eye to Business.

That the instinct for business is not en-
tirely absent among the colored people is
shown by an occurrence in Pennsylvania
some time ago. Two colored men were con-
Quoting a blacksmith shop, but finally con-
cluded to suspend their enterprise. The
shop was duly closed, and passers-by were
amused by the following, which was con-
spicuously posted:

District Attorney williams Gives His
opinion ON the schoes Election
0nesff0u.

| 10 answer to the article 10 yesterday q
| issue Of the SILVER STATE, wherein the
opinion Of the District Attorney was
solicited by the Winnemuccs Board of
School Trustees in reference to the law
passed by .hs last Legislature providing
for the election OF School Trustees in
May. instead Of at the general election.
and aiming by special Legislation to ter
inmate. by special limitation. on July
LIST. the terms Of the lawful members OF
the present Boards Of School Trustees in
one of the counties Of Nevada, it seems
that the gentlemAD who sought to make
the Act applicable to Humboldt county,
through some pet motive, missed his
mark, az any elector. who has taken the
trouble to inform himself, knows that the
voting population OF Humboldt county
exceeded seven hundred and ninety las
the vote cast, exclusive OF the number in
Pleasant Valley precinct, was seven hun
dred and ninety, and no one can dispute
the fact that those whose ballots were not
counted by the Board of Csnvassers
at the last general election by reason
of informality Of the election returns
constitute legitimate part of the voting
population, and besides doubtless there
were more qualified electors who did not
vote). Can it be denied that such electors
are part of the voting population. and
il the voting population at the last gen
eral election was more than eight hun
dred, about which there can be no dis
pute, even though the Act should
not be decided special legislation and no.
constitutional. il is clear out of the ring
and not applicable to Humboldt county.

COLORAD0S DEEPEST SILVER NINE
The greatest depth yet reached in 8
silver bearing vein in Colorado is 2, 100
feet, this being the lowest level of the
New California, (which we believe is
10 Gilpin county,. This depth is the re-
suit OF years of work sinking . shaft di-
rectly down into the vein. Last year at
this depth the New California is credited
with producing STA, 653 of which about
$50, 900 was net profit. The bottom OF a
silver bearing 6ssure vein has never yet
been reached, at least, 10 all the history
of mining there is no report OF reaching
a depth on vein that did not yield pro-
fit to go still deeper.

BURIED TREASURE.
Money Discovered which Was Buried
by the Bonner Party "A Years Ago.

by the Bonner Party a Years Ago.
Truckee is in fever of excitement over
the discovery OF treasure supposed to have
been buried by the Bonner party. The
fact that Mrs. Graves, member OF the
party, had buried quite sum of money
on a north side of Bonner Lake lie a
matter Of history, and it was only by the
merest chance that the treasure was dis
covered. Some parties from Truckee
went to the Lake to fish. Edward Rey-
nolds, one Of the party. instead of fishing,
thought he would prospect little. He
had walked few hondred yards when
he noticed dark circular object lying on
the ground. He stopped down and picked
it up. 1t proved to be silver 5-frsnc
piece bearing the date of 1895. This
aroused his curiosity and he looked around
for more. His search was rewarded by
finding several other coins. He then
commenced scratching the surface OF the
ground in search of more Of the stuff and
he bad only to do this few moments
when be found just few inches below
the surface, close to . granite boulder
pile Of money. Reynolds took another
member of the fishing party into his con.
fidence and that evening the two returned
to the lake and proceeded to ascertain
the extent and amount OF the hidden
treasure. Carefully they uncovered the
silver and put it in sack. After search
ing over the surface of the ground and
finding a number of more coins, they
counted them and found that they had
lis silver coins about the szs of dollar
and "a half-dollars.
The Republican says the coins are very
valuable as the collection embraces q lot
of FIVE franc pieces OF the mintsge of the
first republic and subsequent. There
were Mexican, Spanish aud South
American dollars. Most of the half-dol-
lars were of U. $. coinage. None bore
date later than 1916. and some dated back
to 1900 Exactly what disposition will
be made of it is not known, but very
likely it will be gobbIed up by those who
want nementoes and souvenirs OF the
Bonner Party. Its value for this purpose
can hardly be estimated, as 500 has al
ready been offered for pick of the lot.
Some Of the coins no doubt have high
numismatic value and rare coin hunter.

of the distance actually wsltzed over in

la one waltz dancer will go around q
moderate sized hall room making cir
cult of eighty yards six times, even allow.
ing for a rest, or $50 yards to each waltz,
if in straight line. But turning nearly
all the time, say once in each yard OF on

ameter, the distance may be estimated al
three quarters of mile, or fourteen and
