exchange, the bears sharpened their
claws and made a deadly assault on
Swansea, and the bulls were so dis
couraged at the close that they fed
to the woods, leaving the bruins in
/ full possession of the board.
AT the opening, Swansea was held
at $2.25, with the bidding inactive. For
no apparent reason, however, a break
in this popular stock occurred, and
although strenuous efforts were made
to hold it up to the $2.l0 mark, 800
shares changed hands at 500, and on
the streets i'm the afternoon sales were
reported at Sis.
So far no plausible reason has been
given for this sudden slump in Swan
sea other than that an undefinable I'M
easiness has taken possession Of a. few
stockholders, or that someone has
been obliged to force sale on account
of financial enbarTassme
From parties who are well posted as
TO the mine, it is learned that the prop
erty never looked better than at pres
emit, and that never before was there
such a fine showing of ore. After the
furry is over, however, there is no
doubt but that 1T Will regain its former
standing.

at the quotations of the day previous,
but at this figure it was firm and

however, it was wanted on the curb
at $40, and sales were reported at
this figure.
Bullion-Beck made decided gains
during the call, and was firmly held;
while Daily advanced to $7.75 in the
bidding Offered at SS75.
Sunshine displayed some activity.
and recorded sales at $3.50.
Considerable demand for Ajax was
noticeable, but at declining figures, and
the call closed with bid of IS cents.
Offered at so.
Richmond and Anaconda was in
good demand and transferred 1,500
shares at cents; while Dalton, for the
first time during the past two months,
recorded sales at cents, although be
fore che call was over it could have

THE THIEVES OF TODAY.

1 may be in error, but in my
humble judgment he who would
rob man of his necessary
food or pollute the spring ait
which he quenches his thirst,
or steal away from him his
accustomed rest, or condemn
his mind to the gloomy night
of ignorance, is no more an
enemy of his race than the
man who, deaf to the entrea-
ties of the poor and blind to
the suffering he would cause,
seeks to destroy one of the
money metals given by the
Almighty to supply the needs

TEACHERS AND SCHOOL WORK.

This committee announces that the
work in the schools continues to improve
and their efficiency increases, and it is
with great satisfaction that the commit
tee recognizes they take rank among the
best in the nation.
The committee notes the increase of Ga
children over the number last year. max
ing a total of 1854.
The cost of text books and supplies
per capita of children enrolled was 7415
cents.
The cost of maintenance of schools dur
ing the year was 1919.
The committee calls attention to the
need of high school and cites that dur
ing the year 221 students were admitted
making q. total of ass. From indications
it would appear that by September there
will be a total attendance of about 6o0
The corps of teachers is 227 of which
1874 have been re-employed, % new teach
ers engaged and 20 vacancies remain to
be filed, the average salary being $515
per annllm, which the committee believe
is as low as it can be placed.
The average age of beginners is 6
years and 10 months; of eighth grade
graduates Is years and months; of high
school graduates Is years and months.
The committee suggests the curtafl-
ing of years of study SO as to adj
vance by one year the time of entrance
into the high school and suggests COM
mission of eleven members, of which the
superintendent, the principal of the high
school, one principal of grade schools. be
appointed to make a report on this mat
ter.

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS

The report of this committee cites that
year although the need of two or three
is urgent. The Tenth and Eighteenth
wards need new buildings, but the law
will not admit of a levy for the purpose,
hut cor pins provisions restricting the use
of funds to taxes and repairs
The new school law made a provision
for levy of this kind but not containing
an emergency clause, this same did not 20
into effect until it was too late to make a
levy.
In the Tenth ward building is needed
very badly and ere another year it is to be
hoped this board will be able to construct
one. The president in his report covers
all the essential points in this one.

BOARD OF EXAMINERS.
w. A. Johnston and A. Mcdonald Get
the Brady Reward.

The State Board Of Examiners held a
meeting yesterday, Secretary of State
Brown, Deputy Attorney-General w.
II. Anderson and Secretary Markley be-
ing present
The board decided in regard to the
reward for the capture of bandit Brady,
that William A. Johnston and Alexan-
der Mcdonald should receive $3.50 each,
they to each Of them pay S25 to O'Brien,
the Freeport clerk who telephoned to
Sheriff Johnson that a man suspected
to be Brady had passed through that
place.
The bill of the Mining Bureau was
accompanied by a fine map Of the
Mother Lode region, moving through
the counties Of Amador, Ell Dorado,
Calaveras, Tuolumne and Mariposa,
prepared for the State Mining Bureau.
Secretary Of State Brown stated that
he had letter from Supreme Court
Clerk Ward, stating that the court
would soon move it's quarters and there
were nearly $1,000 worth of gas fix
lures, curtains, etc, for which it would
have no use in it's new rooms Mr.
Brown suggested that there were State
institutions being fitted up that might
be able to use them to advantage He
thought, therefore, that it would be
well to send circular letter to each
institution, describing the fixtures and
asking IL some use could not be made
CT them.
A question being asked by Mr.. An
derson as to what State institutions
had been visited by the board, Secre-
tary Brown enumerated them, and said
that the board had been able only to
visit few of them. The visits, how
ever, having been productive of much
saving, that at Whittier having cut
down expenses $500 a month, and at
Glen Ellen, although the number of pa
tents has been largely increased, and
it asked for 100000 a year and re-
ceived only $4,000, it is running con-
siderably inside of it's appropriation.
He regretted that the board had not
peen able to visit more of them and
| institute other as important economies
in them
