come up before the school board meet
ing Tuesday evening. President Gil
lett, as chairman of the committee on
text books, reported that the committee
had held no meeting and he hoped the
matter would be left open for further
consideration. Supt. Mcdowell asked
that the time be extended to the
August meeting of the board. He
stated that as member of that COM
mittee he had not yet had time to do
his duty in respect of the matter and
he wanted to look over every book in
the school. Prof. Wiswall asked to
address the board. He said that when
he came here he found four different
kinds of arithmetics and four different
kinds of readers. He had had some of
them changed so that the system could
be unified. Now he considered with
the possible exception of the geogra-
phies he saw no occasion to make fur
Their changes and he hoped the board
world not consider any. He did not
want the idea 20 get abroad that we
had no good system of books, for we
had. He urged strongly that the board
act very conservatively in that matter.
What was needed now was not so much
new text books as supplementary read
ing. The necessity was now for bet
ter library. The time of the commit
tee was extended to the August meet
ing as requested.

FITZ AND WEBSTER.

FItz and Webster, who will be
seen at the opera house on next
Thursday evening, Dec. 70, in
their successful musical farce com
edy, "a Breezy Time" are not at
all behind the times in securing
new and novel features for their
performance each year.
This season, in addition to the
beautiful Turkish Bell Gavotte,
the Lawn Tennis Quartette and
the Bicycle Swells, they have intro
duced a burlesque on that famous
play, 'Trilby," which is having
such successful run at the Gar
den Tteater, New York city.
1t is very laughable burlesque
and has made a great impression
wherever the company have ap-
peared SO far this season.
Special attention has bsen given
to the makeup and dress of the
characters that are introduced,
which are Trilby, Svengali, Little
BIllee, Taffy, and the Laird.

A study of the crop figures will
show hat seven years of successive
ly increasing crops from 1856 to
1912 was unprecedented in the
history of trade. 1t is doubtful if
any leading crop raised can show
such an unbroken increase for seven
years. Jumping from 5,7OO,OOO
bales in 1866, there was practical
ly no hating until 1912, when
the yield was 9,O35,OOO bales
"a gain of 100000 bales, or
nearly 60 per cent. advance in

In nineteen years cotton has
brought into the South over So, OOO,-
O00, 000-a sum so vast that the
profits out of it ought to have been
enough to greatly enrich that Sec
ton. Unfortunately, however, the
system necessitated by the condi-
tons prevailing Immediately after
the war, of raising cotton only, and
buying provisions and grain in the
West, left at home but little if any
surplus money out of the cotton crop.
The West and North drained that
section of several hundred million
dollars every year, because it depend
ed upon them for all Of its food
stuffs. Hence of the enormous
amount received from cotton very
little remained in the South. The
increase in the Investigation of
farm products, the raising of home
supplies, the development of truck
lg, and the building of factories
are all uniting to keep at home the
money which formerly went North
and West. Whether the cotton
raiser himself be getting the full
benefit of this or not, the South at
large is necessarily doing SO. The
increase in the attention given to
grain cultivation is illustrated by
t . fact that the South's grain crop
Of 1894 was 611,O0O,OOO bushels,
valued at 5000, 10000, OF more than

Colorado did not distance CALI
fornia and become the first of the
gold-producing States, as was pre-.
dicted during the latter part of
1894. The Denver Republican can
yassed the gold-mining districts and
footed up the returns for the year
at $11,235,606, an increase of three
and three-quarter million dollars
over the yield of 1898. Wells, Far
go, Il Co., the bankers and express
men who carry practically all the
gold and silver out of all the mining
camps of the West, published a
larger estimate in their forecast of
the official figures in a circular
dated December 81, 1894. They put
Colorado's yield at $12, 175,2 O7, and
C~alifornia's at $1O,69O;646. From
the United States Mint at Denver |
have just obtained the official figures
that have been sent to the director
Of the mint, at Washington, ID. G..
They are as follows: Gold, $1O,-
6l6,463; silver ESTIMATED at 63
cents an ounce, the average price in
1894), $14,961, 5s5; lead, $3,i99,175
copper, $761, 575.
These figures r disappointing to
those who believe that they know
Colorado to have uncovered the
richest gold mines in America, but
to those who have no other informa-
ton than the figures give them
the Increase in gold production
from four millions in 1890 and
seven and a half millions in 1898 to
nearly ten and three-quarter mil
lions in 1894 is sufficiently great to
| seem almost marvellous. SO too is
the lightning-like change the State
has made from a silver to IL gold
camp.
California is still the leading gold
State. 1t has been credited with an
advance from twelve and a half mil
lions in 1883 to more than fourteen
millions in 1894. The gain during
the last year was due to the new
working of old mines, and also to
the operation of placer mines, idle
for a dozen years, but now worked
again under the new hydraulic
mining law. But in California, as
everywhere else in this country, it is
the quartz-mining that yields the
heaviest returns. This needs SC
great an original outlay that there
are said to be hundreds of mines
in California, unproductivc, unde-
veloped, or altogether idle, thai
are the property of men and com.
panies without the means to work
them. The improved modern ma.
chinery used III quartz-mining is
what makes this more profitable
than yer before, and it is invest.
ment in these mines that has in.
creased, and will in years to conn
increase, the gold output of tn,
State. The Utica Mine, which
turned out $1,3O9,967.51 in 1893
the Kennedy Mine, in Amadol
County, which yielded 1862, 1868
and the North Star Mine, ut Gras.
Valley, which produced $335,75G.94
were all old mines that had beef
reopened or worked by perfecte,
methods. According to the San
francisco Chronicle, "thc Stat,
m~ineralogist says that more atten
ton is being paid to mining thar
for twenty years past. Men from
the East are looking over the gold
fields, and there have been more in
quiries for mining properties durin.
