It's astonishing how little interest is
taken in the administration of the tinan

ly affected. At the school meeting held
on Tuesday, at which $4,000 was voted
tor expenses for the ensuing year there
were but seven persons present, w, D.
Townsend was chosen chairman and NJ.
Hogan secretary. The usual resolutions
for levying money was offered. the esti-
mate being as follows:
Teachers wages $500
Bonds and interest 1,5O0
Incidental expenses 1000
About $4,000 is received annually
from the state school apportionment.
which will make a total of about $12,-
600, of this amount 81, 800 will be used
for teachers wages. The levy is a trifle
more than last year, as there is small
dehcit, and the matter of insurance of
about 5000 will have to be provided for
.an item which comes only once in
three wears. The amount levied will re
quire tax OF fifteen mills.

SILVER AND LABOR.

The gold standard press never tires
in telling the laboring class that the
free coinage of silver will reduce
wages, make employment more diff
cult to get and place them on a level
with the pauper labor of Europe. If
FREQ silver coinage would produce
such direful results to the laboring
people Of America, it Is a delusion
and a snare and it's advocates should
be placed in lunatic asylums where
they can do no harm. If on the other
hand proof can be adduced that
should this country even go to a sill
yer basis, wages would be higher,
more employment furnished the la
boring class and their condition
greatly improved, then they should
count the gold standard advocates
their worst enemies and join the ranks
of the free silver men. Happily such
proof is not wanting. Our sister he
public Mexico stands forth as bright
example of what even silver basis,
so much harped upon and despised
by the single standard advocates, has
done for the Mexican people.
Secretary Rognou, of the Pan-Amer-
lean Company, engaged in mining in
the State of Sonora, told the Inter
Mountain Mining Review that an err
roneous impression prevails concern
ing the condition of Mexican labor
under the silver regime. The Pant
American company is now paying
almost double the wages it paid when
it commenced operations few years
ago. Skilled American laborers now
command higher wages in Mexico
than in the United States, the scale
being from Sc to- 81 day, Mexican
money, equivalent to SO and So 50,
United States coin. The foreman of
the Pam american mill receives $500
per month, Mexican money, worth
5000 in United States money. But
most of the articles of Mexican pro-
ductlon are just as cheap now as they
have ever ~ Ell, and there has been no
decrease in the purchasing power of
the Mexican dollar, except as applied
to those products that are imported
from gold standard countries. In adj
dition to the benefit of higher wages.
the Mexican laboters now find en-
ployment every day i'll the year If
they desire it. So swift has been the
growth and expansion of the indust-
RES that the demand for labor is fire.
quently greater than the supply.
The condition of Mexican labor.
under the silver standard, has i'm
proved 100 per cent. During the
same period the condition of the
American laborer, under the gold
standard, has grown worse. And Car
Isle still has the nerve to deliver
Sound money" harangues to Amer
lean workingmen.

THE ELMORE ESTATE
Decision by the Supreme Court Revers-
ing an Earlier Decision Con-
cerning $4,000.

The Supreme Court has given decision
in the case of Susan B. Elmore, as admin
istratrix of the estate of Sarah f. Elmore,
deceased, against James g. Elmore. The
court below rendered an ordinary money
Judgment in favor of the plaintiff for
$65O0 with costs. The Supreme Court re-
verses this judgment and orders a new
trial because neither the complaint nor
the findings sustain the Judgment rem
dered, and 1.-THE cause of action, if any, es-
tablished by the findings is wholly differ
ent from the one averred in the COM
plant
The deceased, Sarah II. Elmore, was the
wife of the appellant. The complaint set
up that during her lifetime and during
her married life she received certain prop
erty from the estates of her deceased par
ents, which was mostly In the form of
money; that she furnished this money to
the appellant, as har agent and trustee, to
purchase lands and personal property;
that be purchased lands, taking the con-
veyances in his own name, and that he, to
some extent, mingled the money of the
wife with the community property, so
that it became difficult to state exactly
what was her interest in the land so pur-
chased, but the plaintiff believed that at
least one-half the lands and one-half of
certain personal property was bought by
the appellant and is held by him as trus-
tee for the deceased wife. The amount
which the lower court awarded, S6500, was
the exact amount which Sarah L. Elmore
inherited from the estate OF her parents

Unshaven Scientists Bring Government
Information on Gold Fields.
Three queer-looking men, closely resem-
bling each other in general appearance,
arrived at the Grand Hotel yesterday
evening. They are T. G. Schrader, J. E.
Spur and Fl. B. Goodrich of the United
States Geological Survey. Six months ago
they were sent to Alaska by the Govern
ment to make an official examination of
the gold fields of the great Yukon, and
twenty days ago having completed their
investigations they started from the mouth
of the YUKON in the steamer Bertha for
had been tramping alone over the gold
district adjacent to the YUKON River.
The Government particularly desired to
know the prospects for bedrock mining
along the Yukon. These scientists have
a favorable report to submit.
One of them said last night:
I'VE examined all the gold bearin g
guches of the Yukon River down to ST.
Michael's on the coast. Only placer min
ing has thus far been attempted in that
region. and good deal of gold is being
taken out. The product is sure to increase
year by year for some time. l do not
know of any larger placer mining district
in the country than that. A mineral belt
similar to the so-called mother lede OF
California runs across that whole country
in northwest direction and along it there
are deposits in distinct and different for
nations. The indications are that bed
rock mining will be developed there in the
future and it will pay, but of cours Sc,

gas that poured out of the room. The jet
was turned on, and after turning it off she
gave the alarm.
