GREAT SPECIAL OFFER.
How to Secure the Encyclopaedia Die.
tiOnary at a Nominal Price.

The Pacific Coast Newspaper Syndi-
cate has such unbounded faith in the
merits of the New Encyclopaedia Die
tionary that it has adopted an original
liberal and wholly unique plan to in
troduce the work.
The syndicate believes, and with
much reason, that 100 sets of the die
tionary scattered through that many
cultured homes will create widespread
comment because of the superiority of
the book when compared with others
that have up to now been considered
standard
The subscription price of the work is
S4Z but the syndicate now offers an in
troductory 100 sets for 81 cash and
81 20 per month for year, but prompt
action is necessary in order to take ad-
vantage of the opportunity, for these
lOO sets are sure to be allotted within
very few days.
In order to take advantage of the offer
II is only necessary to send 81 to the
Pacific Coast Newspaper Syndicate, GA
X street, Sacramento, and a full set of
four superb volumes, bound as desired.
Will be forwarded, at purchasers ex-
pense, TO any point designated, the bal
ance to be paid in monthly payments.
1T should be noted that any one not
hnding the work precisely as represent
ed may return the same within ten days,
ana the payment will be promptly re-
funded

The Proposed Assay Office.

Eds. Record Union: 1 have read
your adverse criticism in Fridays pa
per on the proposed assay office and
laboratory ito be established in Sacra-
mentO, and seemingly written under
some misconception Of the principal OBJ
JectS in vieW-the promotion Of the min
ing industry as well as lands.
1t is true that mining experts hav
ing a reputation established do not
connect themselves with mining COM
pan1eS; they act entirely independent
and report on the merits of mining
property as they find them on eXamina-
ton, and are paid by the owners of the
properties for their work, usually So
per day and expenses. The object of a
mining bureau is to attract capital for
the purpose of sale or development on
meritorious property, and when the
report Of the expert is made his work
is ended, having no interest further
than his reputation and conclusions go
in showing values.
The assay office and laboratory is a
separate, distinct part Of the proposed
business (and, as stated, much needed
here), where work can be done in estab-
fishing the value of ores and refining
the SOlu DTOuSnI mere IOf Sde, DOlu
pure and mixed, with silver and other
minerals and sulphurets. In establish
ing values of lands 1t is customary, in
order to ascertain its character, to send
surveyor who is an acknowledged ex-
pert Of real estate, and from such veri-
fed reports its value is ascertained,
either for purpose of sale or obtaining
loans on the same.
1t is conceded by many with whom /
have consulted, mining men and gen.
tlemen in other lines Of idustry that a
business in the line proposed, con-
Quoted on a strictly legitimate basis,
will greatly add to Sacramentos prom
inence, and bring here business now
entirely lost to US that other cities less
favorably situated are encouraging.
1t matters not whether the business
can be best carried on through corpo-
rate authority or private enterprise;
the work is now much needed here, and
will be early established, as it should
have been years ago.

BOARD OF EXAMINERS.
1t Cuts Down a Deputy Sheriff s
Expense Demand.

AT a meeting Of the State Board Of
Examiners held yesterday Secretary of
State Brown called attention to the
fact that Section 665 of the Political
Code made the first and third Mondays
in each month the days for holding
sessions. He pointed out that Friday
was the busiest day in the week. and
suggested that hereafter the date of
meetings be changed to accord with
the statute.
To this Governor Budd asSented, and
If Attorney-General Fitzgerald be
agreeable to the proposition the next
regular meeting will be held one week
from next Monday
The bill of Deputy Sheriff O'Shaugh-
messy for conveying Hugh Mccall, an
insane person, from San Francisco to
the Southern California Asylum for the
Insane, at Highlands, was found to
contain the following items: To stew
ard on steamer, So: to night watch
man, So; to pantryman, 81; to waiter,
81
The explanation for the items was
that O'Shaughnessy could not watch
his charge all the time, and gave in
discriminate tips to the parties named
in the itemized bill for that purpose.
The consequence was that all tip items
were eliminated before the bill was
signed.
Statements had been received from
the Trustees of the Southern Asylum
for Insane and Inebriates that the ex-
penses of the institution were heavier
each month than the amount allowed
(S375), and asking that deficiency
fund be declared by the board, sub
iect to the approval of the next Legis-
lature.
Secretary OF State Brown favored
creating such fund at once, but the
Governor referred to the fact that
the last Legislature had made no ap-
preparation for the asylum, merely al
lowing the general annual appropriation
to stand and that the Attorney Gen
