VIM. Lloyd mourns the loss of his hun tel
dog, Birdie. She followed him into the
drift of the Yuba at the three hundred foot
level and Mr.. Lloyd drove her out. Or
going back in again, he looked to see if she
had followed him, but she was no where il
sight. He got on the bucket at the three
hundred station and rung to be hoisted and
as he started up he heard her give whine
and fall. He descended to the bottom Of
the shaft and found her a. the 900, she hav
ing fallen distance of 600 feet. Death un
doubtedly was instantaneous.
Once more the Trustees of the Phoebe
Public School have Disseminated agains,
home talent and engaged teachers from the
outside for both departments. In regard to
the ability and qualifications of those en-
gagged we have nothing to say; but were
they the best teachers that the United
Kingdom could produce, the Trustees have
brought the just censure of an injured com.
munity upon them by discriminating against
home talent. Were we to judge by those
engaged from the outside and the satisfaction
that they have given to the scholars and
their parents as against the teachers that
have been raised here, the per cent in favor
OF home talent would be about 999. Fo,
the last five years teachers have been en-
gagged from the outside, and we can safely
and truly say with the whole communit,
that in no instance has satisfaction been ex
pressed with the services rendered by thos,
so engaged, and it is about time that thu
rule OF Nye county be adopted here and
that is IAN applicant for school has to be 0
resident of the county previous to an appli
cation being made, for period of not less
than six months" This is local rule
adopted for the protection of home talent.
