Last spring A. Amber bought a sa-

to Gold Hill and AS he was stuck ou his
license concluded TO move it to Gold Hill
along with the saloon The couaty
treasurer hearing of this objected, saying
the license was issued for Pyramid and
at Pyramid ii must remain. Ii he
wanted Gold Hill license he must buy

The adaptability of electric
power for mountainous mining
regions is one of the marvels
Of the age. 1t is reported as
a fact that 3oo-horse power
gathered from the Neckar
river is delivered at the Frank
fort Exposition, Io8 miles
distant with a loss of only rs
per cent. in transmitting this
great distance. If this has
been accomplished at the chief
city on the Main, it shows to
what extent our mountain
streams can be utilized for the
transmission of power to the
mines far remote, even though
gulches and mountains inter
vene. The electric current
passes through the wire up
and down as readily as though
in a direct and level stretch.
Water wheels and copper
wire are less expensive than
boilers, engines and fuel for

been begun in Chicago by Colonel

membered that Texas paid these
gentlemen for the construction of
its state capitol by deciding them
100000 acres of land. A big
company was formed, the land
fenced and cattle placed upon 1T.
1t was the purpose to sell block
OF stock to English investors, aud
a certain number of shares were
set aside for them. The suit large
ly hinges on the question what
has become of this stock? Colonel
Babcock claims that the court
should allow him $1,000 shares,
and also order an accounting.

CALL OF THE SOUTHW WEST
SILVER CONVENTION.

To the prospectors, miners, mine
and claim owners OF New Mexico
Arizona and Western Texas:
The depression that exists
throughout the southwest is due
to the unnatural depreciation ol
silver and to the evil effects caused
by that portion of the alien act
that prohibits the investment Of
foreign capital in mining property
in the territories The object of
the Southwest Silver Convention
that is to convene on the 18th day
of December, 1891, IN Ell Paso,
Texas, is to discuss and take steps
to remedy these evils. No other
subject but the silver question and
the me dIfication of the alien act
will be entertained by the conven-
ton, and all attempts to pervsrt
the object Of this mass meeting of
miners by the INTRODUCTION of
questions foreign to tho principles
for which it was called, will be sup
pressed. The restoration of silver
to Its normal value or parity with
gold 1929 and the obliteration of
TN unjust discrimination against
the miners operating in the terrific
ries, will engage the entire energy
snd time of the assembled miners
of the southwest.

SCHOOL COMMENT.

THE CALL directed number of reporters
to interview citizens in all walks of life
with instructions to report impartially, not
TO make out a case for or against the schools.
1t was considered no less desirable TO know
what wage-WoTkers think than what their
employers might say. In fact the wage
workers are the class most vitally inter
ested in our schools. Parents of large
means can send their children to private
schools, but TO parents who can only earn
from twelve to fifteen dollars week it is
the public schools or none. We did not an
ticipate such a voiey Of criticism on the
schools as was printed in Wednesdays
CALL. Among the gentlemen interviewed
were many warm friends of the public
school system, but the impression seems
quite general that the schools are being
turned from their intended purpose. One
man declares that the public school system
OF instruction is all that it should not be.
Another wants the schools to teach bread
and butter studies. meaning not that trades
should be taught in the public schools. but
that such branches of study as reading,
writing, spelling should be taught thor
Oughly. That this gentleman is not OPP
posed to higher education may be inferred
from his remark that he believed the State
should give every child a college education
if he wanted it. The keynote of the gen.
eral complaint was struck in the remark
that ANY boy Of ten years can stump per-
son in ten minutes with his questions in the
unnecessary departments of life." This
shows that the child's mind has been led
away from the useful studies. As years
roll by most men drop useless lumber and
pick mp useful knowledge in its place. No
child ever finds thorough knowledge Of its
own language super1uous. All boys and
girls write letters and every letter written IS
an advertisement of his or her qualifications.
Incorrect spelling. poor penmanship, mis-
use of words and mistakes in the simple
rules Of grammar are obstacles to success
which have to be overcome. A gentleman
who has daughters in the upper grammar
grades remarked, in speaking of the schools.
that not one girl in ten who graduates from
the grammar school can write an ordinary
letter that would not show errors Of spelling
and grammar. These branches, he said. are
hurried over and less important ones in
trOdueed. 1t is evident that widely enter
tanned views Of this character should not be
disregaTded. These criticisms are not made
by enemies of the public school system, but
by citizens who desire to see the schools
popular and useful.

S26a,OOO.

The present outlook is that the State
Board Of Equalization will cost the people
of this city but about S262, 900 this year.
The action Of the Board OF Supervisors has
Induced the Auditor to change his purpose
in respect to adding the increased valuation
to the assessment for city purposes. The
narrow escape should serve as warning.
The duties Of the State Board should be
more definitely limited than they now are.
The section Of the Constitution creating the
board shows that the duty of equalzfng
assessments within county is devolyed
upon county boards. The province OF the
State Board is to keep the assessments of
the several counties up to general average.
The people of one county may be presumed
to be as well qualified to equalize assess
ments within the county as the people Of
any other county. The State Board has a
right to see that valuation below the aver
age is not made for State purposes, but it
should only deal with totals. The several
county boards should understand that II one

EDITORIAL NOTES.

While the great military powers OF Europe
were maneuyeTng hundreds or thousands OF
soldiers there was Tremendous fuss 10 Britain
over 10000 men who were mobliiZed with much
effort. The laIeness OF the harvest absurdly cir
cumscribed the maneuverng ground. and the
enthusiasts of the men received dtsheartening
checks. Fields containing standing crops could
not be crossed, and often souLstrring charges
were stopprd short and the most cunning STRAIT
agems brought 10 naught The wspaperS were
full OF gOrgeou>lv colored descriptions OF the
marching and cOuntermarching but one expert
critic in tile HhitehdH RevieJO followed up
denunciatton Of "the autumnal maneuYering
bufooneres' with gloomy picture OF possible
Russian eucr0achments on India. To tell the
truth, while BriIaIn's fleets are far superior TO
TO those OF her neighbors, her military forces do
not make very imposing appearance when com.
pared with The vast hosts OF tie Continent.
In the last fiscal year this country exported
more than S32, 100000 of iron and steel manu-
factures, a gain Of about S3,Ooo,0oo over the
previous year. Among the exports were 2T5
locomotive engines, So, ,S3l .90S worth OF nails
and spikes, S3,219,l30 of agricultural imple-
ments. 2SG9 ,235 of sewing machines and
S3.S59l72 OF builders hardware, saws and
tools. During the year our imports OF iron and
Steel products. exclusive of Tin plate, amounted
TO S17.797 ,532, or about three million dollars
less than in lhe previous year. The American
mechanic can view these figures win considera-
bic satisfaction, and the prospects are that the
results this year VIII be still more favorable. -
The announcement that the Turkish Govern
ment is agaIu in serious financial straits causes
little surprise. II is always more OF less in
chronic state OF mpecunlosity. The Sultan.
however, has a unique way OF dealing with civil
and military officials who camOr too vigorously
for their arrears. He recently quieted num-
Der Of tile noisier ONES by throwing them in
prison. In addition TO the wearying cares of
state the Sultan just now has to see That about
1000 female members OF his household are
clothed aud fed.
Recent returns show there has been an I'M
mense apparent decrease IN crime in Great
Britain, eight prisons since 1882 having been
converted 10 other uses, while Others show a re-

this shows that the policy of sending released
prisoners to foreign lands, particularly America,
has been extensively practiced.

LOOKING AHEAD.


The San Bernardino Tmes-Inder says:
Notwithstanding the violent kicking of the
San Francisco press against the raise OF 80 per
cent in that city il Is stated that the property
fronting on Market street is worth more than
the amount of the entire assessment OF the city,
1t is hardly possible that the editor OF the
Times Inder believes this statement to be
true The valuable part Of Market street
is but little more that a mile long, the dis
tance from the ferries to Van Ness avenue
includes all that is exceptionally valuable.
If we allow that there are 1900 front feet be-
tween these points we would have $4,000 front
feet as the basis of an estimate. No con-
siderable portion of this frontage could be
sold at $1,000 front foot, and yet if it all
were SO sold the amount would be only $780,
0O0, 600 The time may come when Market
street will be worth $780, OOO, 600, but is long
off
