Rhetorical exercises were held
at the school house on the last
day of the old year.
Several pupils were absent but
those present acquitted them
selves in a manner that reflected
credit upon all concened.
Among other things of inter
est were two sermons delivered
by two of the larger
pupils. These sermons were
not orthodox, but were allowed
on the principle that a little
nonsense now and then is relish
ed by the best of men, One
speaker explained in a comical
way the manner in which Samp-
son caught his three hundred
foxes, and brought down the
house by showing the folly and
righteousness of ministerial ex-
aggeration.
The other speaker gravely in
formed his hearers that his text
could be found somewhere be-
tween the first chapter of the
"book of generolious and the
last chapter of the book of Revo-
luton" He then proceeded to
give a specimen of fancient timer
ant pulpit oratory combining a
maximum of noise with mini
mum of sense.
Altogether the afternoon pas
sed pleasantly and profitably,
and the school fully sustained
the high reputation that it has
hitherto held. -VERIToS.

has always needed badly. The
contractor has done good work,
and is deserving much credit.
The building is being finished

Measels in Challis this winter
have showed no favorites- Meth
er old nor young-for they have
been quite general. A person
who has not had the measels,
have no idea the fun they have

such numerous quantities.

our Legislature profted thereby.
Now for u. S. Senator from

consume all the session to elect
one, as it did two years ago ?
This State is sadly in need of
some good legislation, and we
hope our lawmakers will take
these facts into consideration.
Captain f. M. Bishop, the
well known assayer. made some

that proved to be stream tin,

tence has now been proven be-
yond a question of doubt. The
stream tin on which Captain
Bishop based his experiments
yesterday came from placers
about fifteen miles from Yellow
Jacket mine in Lemhi county,
Idaho, and this mineral is found
in the auriferous gravel associa-
ted with gold, and it has been
found that it exists in paying
quantities, the product tested by
Mr.. Bishop going 81 per cent

that Randsburg lies on the Mo-

far from the line between Kern
and Los Angles. and a little east
of north from the city of Los
Angles, and distant in a direct
line nearly 100 miles, but by any
route one can take to reach, eth
er by rail or wagon, $50 miles,
1t is located on barren hills des-
titute of other vegetation than
cactus or grease wood, with an
elevation where the principal
settlements are nearly 1000 feet.
The top soil is for the most part
decomposed granite with rocks
in many places The camp con
tairs perhaps within q radius of
three or four miles from 1900 to
1000 people. From The hill sid
eS either to the north or south
one can count more than 800
houses and tents, the latter be-
ing largely in the majority.
There is tri- weekly mail SER
vice which will doubtless be-
changed to q daily soon, as
stages come in from Mojave on
the Southern Pacific, so miles
away, daily, and also from Kra-
mer, 26 miles distant, on the
Santa Fe. The camp is healthy.
with very pleasant weather for
this season of the year. Water
is of course the great drawback,
there being none nearer than six
miles and not very plentiful
nearer than Cows Wells, ten
miles away. It is said to be
strongly impregnated with ar
senic and is not considered as
good as at Mesquit Springs, two
miles further away. The near
