A New Course of Study

The course of study of the public
schools of this county is to be revised in
the interest OF the country schools. The
session of the county board of education
began in this city yesterday with County
superintendent Margaret M. Mogeau, W.
+. Bliss of Cotton, f. II. Joiffe of On
tarlo. Miss Francis W. Lewis of Redlands
ard Henry Conner OF this city in atte nd =.
anCe.
The course of study for the schools of
this county has heretofore been con-
stIucted particularly with the graded and
city schools in view. Now it is to be re-
built, with the work which can be done
in the average country district by the
average teacher as measuring stick.
The work as outlined has prescribed the
same ground to be covered in certain
grade by the county teacher, who has five
or seven grades beside the teacher as in
the city school, where the teacher mas
one grade to handle. This is manifestly
an impossibiity. and the work will now
be planned with reference to what the
country school can accomplish.

CHICAGO. Aug. 13.-All the leading
officials of the Atchison road are out OF
town. most of them being at the hearing
of the Atlantic and Pacific case at Albu-
querque. Receiver Walker, Vice. Presi-
dent D. B. Robinson and General Solici-
tor Peck and the other leaders of the legal
staff of the road are now in New Mexico,
and no statement could be obtained as to
the probable effect of the suit of the Chi
cRgo Elevated Railroad Termina system
on the reorganization plans of the road.
1t was the general opinion among the
lesser officials, however, that the suit
would in no way affect the plans OF the
reorganization committee.

The Victor Enterprise

James Brown of Victor is in the city
and says that while it is true that the
bonds on his property and that of Judge
Widney, which were held by the Colum-
bia Colonization company have been per-
mitted to expire by that organization,
that by no means indicates that the en-
terprise has been dropped, or that til Q
Victor reservoir scheme has been aban-
doned.
The owners of the land are still willing
to permit the company to have the land
on the terms which were made in the
bonds, and he has faith that the reser-
vCir will be built. Men are still at work
there in the employ of the company, and
the fact that they are still in the employ
OF the company Mr.. Brown considers the
best of evidence that the work will not be
abandoned

The Victor Reservoir Scheme Has Not

An Ascent Of Hount Grayback 1ade-The
Apportionment of High School Moneys
Causes a Difference

SAN BERNARDINO. Aug. 13.-The
interest in mining is becoming almost an
excitement in this city. and scarcely a
day passes without word of some new
strike in the districts around this city. =
The latest striks in the mines is re-
ported from Goler, where G. A. Burcham
has opened up six-foot ledge that is rich
in gold and promises we'll. The find il
about eight miles southeast of Goler and
at the camp known as Randsburg. which
IS named from their mine-the Rand.
One of the most encouraging features of
the prospect is the clearly defined walls,
both hanging and foot wall being of such
rock as goes with rich ore. The shaft is
down twenty feet on the lodge, and
drifts have been run at long distances,
but the quality OF the ore continues.
while the ledge shows no signs of pinch
ing out.'
The ore is rich. Almost at the surface
it went $3.50 to the ton, while little
lower it showed $50. But OF late the ore
is much richer and as good as $3.50 and
5000 has been assayed, and of very fine
gold.
G. ". Sweesy and Henry Morse, who
own four claims III the Virginia Dale dis
trict have Just contracted with James
McHaney to develop three claims in re-
turn for which he. becomes halt owner
in the mines. Messrs. Sweesy and Morse
have four ledges which have been located,
three of them lying close to each other
and some Of them have already shown
some rich assays, SO much SO that
the owner of the Desert Queen
has decided to put some money into the
development of the claims.
The three prospects uron which work
will be commenced at once are The Lola,
No. and Jay Gould. The owners have
contracted with McHaney, and by the
terms of the agreement within ten days
he is to put force of men into the
claims and push the work OF Development
as rapidly as possible. The contract in
cludes the building of mill and the size
of iC will depend entirely upon the de-
mands OF the mine. If the lead seems to
warrant it five or ten stamp will be put
up, and will be built Just as soon as ore
enough is in sight to keep it going.

HIBERN|ANS IN SESSION
Annual Convention of DiVi-
SiOnS Under the Board
of Erin.
The Question of Union With the
American Order Is Dis
CuSSed.

The twenty eighth annual convention of
what is known as the original or Board of
Erin, branch of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians, commenced at s1S Howard
street, last night, and remained in session
until very late honr.
Delegates were present from San Fran
cisco, Santa Clara, Marin, San Mateo,
Alameda and Sonoma counties. Altogether
there are thirty-two divisions in this State.
Patrick McHugh, the State delegate, pre-
sided by virtue of his Office. Mr.. Nc
Hugh has been in the order for over
twenty years, and was grand marshal of
the st. Patrick's day parade during the
Midwinter fair.
Very little was done other than the ap-
pointment of the usual committees. The
one important question under considera-
ton is the much-desired union of the two
branches.
About nine years ago a split occurred in
the society and since then there have been
two separate Jurisdictions. The Board of
Erin branch charges what is commonly
known as the American branch with seced-
ing from the parent society and gives poll
tics as the reason for the split. 1t charges
the American branch with using the order
for political purposes in this country ard
has ever since remained aloof.
IL SidiD1S uiISCt oSSCCht llO1A tlle original
society which the O'Neills, OConnells.
O'Donnells, O'Farrells, Prestons, the clan
Richards and other prominent families of
Ireland started in 1649, and which for a
long time had its headquarters at
Limerick
Lately there has been movement in
favor of union of the two branches, in
the hope that the material prosperity and
numerical strength would be greatly i'm
proved thereby. At the last National con-
vention of the American branch, which
was held over year ago, Judge Wiihire of
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania ex-Congress-
man, who is its National delegate, recon-
mended that an advance be made in favor
of coalition.
The National convention of the Board of
Erin branch was held at Tammany Hall
in New York on the 9th inst. It appointed
committee to confer with like commit
tee of the American branch, which had al
ready been chosen on Judge Wilhire's
recommendation, and the question of
amalgamation now largely rests with the
State conventions: that is, if it appears
that union is generally favored from a
summing up of the attitudes of the yari-
Gus State conventions, National Delegate
John J. Heggerty of New York and Ma.
tional Secretary J. Kilgariff of Chicago
with the National treasurer, may so re-
port. All that will then be necessary will
be a final ratification by the society in Ire
land.
This question was somewhat discussed
