The California State Miners Association
deep interest to every mine-owner or
claim-owner and to every prospective or
future locator of mining claims in the
State. At present many claims are To-
Gated under district and Federal laws, but
the Federal laws themselves contemplate
local or rather State legislation. Califor-
MIA has never taken advantage of this
privilege, and the Miners Association is
now seeking to avail itself of that privilege.
At one of the last meetings of that body
the matter of framing an act prescribing g
the manner of locating mining claims,
recording notices of location, amending
defective locations, ETC., was referred to the
committee on the revision of mining laws.
This committee is composed of able lawyers
and practical mining men, and consists of
Judge Curtis H. Lindsey, Senator T. L.
Ford. c. w. Cross, Frederick Searles, Ross
E. Brown, w. S. Keyes, A. H. Ricketts,
and J. F. Halloran. After much labor
these gentlemen have prepared an act
which was adopted last evening by the
majority of the committee. This week it
will be submitted TO the executive COM
mittee of the association. If approved
by the executive committee the act will
be sent to Sacramento on Monday, to be
presented to the Legislature for enact
ment. This supplemental act to the Fed
eral laws reads as follows:

The Board of Education came face to
face with the subject last night, and met
1t bravely in a secret session that lasted
until nearly midnight. Every member of
the board was present at the meeting, or
at least they were all seen to enter and
leave the counc Gil cham Der.
School Director Samuel l.. Waller, chair
man OF the finance committee, presented
an interesting report on the condition of
things, which the board regarded as de-
cidedly blue
The report engaged the attention of the
meeting to the exclusion of every other
SUBJECT. 1t was full of figures of course,
but one line stood out in strong relief at
the end: Total estimated deficiency to
July l, 1897, 500, ,245 45.' The estimate of
available 1unds was $500, 900, on which to
keep the schools going from January to
July l. The estimate for salaries of teach
ers for that time was $3.50. .OO7 So; janitors'
salaries, 5,506 40; office salaries, $4O55;
shop salaries $3615.
The expenditures estimated for rents
was $3.50, school census $1,000, gas and elec,
tric lights $2700, fuel $2l80, postage $15O
The total overdraft on January 1, 1897, was
$41, 1903 80, in addition to which was the
hall months salary retained in Novem-
Der, 1896, amounting to S37,973 TO- These
TWO IcpIcScHI L1o OASOso Vi 0Apeuu-
itures made by the last Board of Educa-
ton.
The estimated deficit for the present
half year was placed at $35,272 45, and the
estimate of the deficit in the State appor-
tionment and amount received $1,000.
The total estimated deficit was $50, 245 50.
These figures make no provision Tor
buildings, repairs, supplies or printing.
In theIast six months of 1896 the printing
bills amounted to 1894 II, supplies $l4,-
831 &c. buildings ana grounds $40 554 50,
and the special fund for five mouths was
$70,471 81.
Alter discussing the report in every de-
tail the board came TO the conclusion that
either the schools should be closed for one
month or salaries reduced as the only ap-
parent way out of the dilemma.
And with this conviction in the MIND OF
each member the meeting djourned until
next Wednesday evening, when action
will be taken on the matter.
The law makes no provision for the pay
ment of salaries for time in which the
schools may be closed, but teachers must
be paid during vacation. So the idle
month will be an additional rest this
season,

SIGHTED FROM
THE FARALLONES
A Four Masted Ship Re-
ported by the Carrier
Pigeon Express.
1t Is Believed, However, That
She Was a Craft
Outbound.
Gallant Rescue of a Wounded Sailor
by the Mate of the Levi
G. Burgess.

Interest in the arrival of the Swanhilda
is still undated and Meiggs wharf is
thronged every day with people who hope
against hope that when the vessel gets in
they will see Frank Butler, the man ac-
cused OF murder, landed from her. Chief
Officer Lawless of the steamer Australia,
which got in yesterday, reports that on
the 18th inst, at P NJ, they sighted a
four-masted vessel heading for San Fran
cisco that answered the description of the
Swanhilda. At that time she was 140
miles southwest Of San Francisco, and
given anything like favorable wind she
should get in to-day.
Opinion seems to be divided as to
whether the vessel sighted is the Olive
bank or the Swanhilda.
Both are four-masted vessels, bark rigged
on the jigger mast, and both are due from
Newcastle, Australia. Both the ships and
a dozen others now in port were tied up at
the same time in Newcastle, N. S. W.,
during the great colliery strike, so the
British ship captains are as much inter-
ested in the arrival of the SWanhilda as
the general public. The general opinion
among them, however, is that Butler will
not be found aboard when the vessel ar
rives.
The homing pigeon which brought the
missive relating the sighting of the four
masted ship supposed to be the Swan
hilda, off the Farallon Islands late Tues
day afternoon, reached the lofts of A. Car
Isle in Berkeley at II A. NJ. yesterday morn
ing. The vessel was sighted at 4:45 in

SAMUEL sIMRAK,s SON.

The Boys Mother Asked to Give Him
to His Fathers Brother.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
MAY Be CLOSED
The Board Of Education
Faces an Enormous
Deficit.
Must Either Stop for One Month
or Reduce Salaries of
Employees.
What Happened at a Secret Session
on the Financial Report Last
Evening.

1t has come to this at Iast-the public
schools of San Francisco must close for q
month before the next summer vacation,
for the reason that there is not enough
money appropriated to keep them open.
Or it may be another. equally drastic
alternative in economy-the salaries of all
employees must be reduced in ratio to
be determined according to the various
amounts received by teachers. Nobody
is to be spared in the School Department
If this measure be accepted, but this is to
depend on the willingness of teachers.
Anyhow, as the question now looms up
before the Board of Education and the
employees, it is said to be simply whether
teachers choose to do no work for no pay
for one month or to work for reduced
salaries for six months. For in either
event they will be no better off financially
at the end of this six months term end
ing June 30, 1897.
Beyond this bold stroke in financiering
there will be no expenditures for printing,
for repairs or for supplies until after
July l next.
Other matters are in view, all tending
toward the same end. So far, however, it
cannot be said that any definite conclu-

may be refused salary except for the time
they are actually employed in teaching,

the afternoon, which was too late to dis
patch bird as they do not work well by
night, and so the sending of the message
was delayed until the morning. Miss
Doud loosed the swift winged carrier at
8:35 yesterday morning.
At the time he was released the weather
was clear but an east wind was BLOWN g,
which prevented rapid fight. The time
the bird was on the wing was two hours
and twenty-five minutes or an hour longer
than the record held by another of Mr..
Carlisle's homers. The loss of time is ex-
planned by the unfavorable winds and the
inexperience of the keepers at the Far
allones in training the birds. One bird,
at least, and sometimes two, comes regu-
larry every day from the islands, bearing
messages from Miss Doud to Mrs. Carlisle.
Another, relating to the supposed sight
ing of the Swanhilda, which bears the
supposed murderous Butler, is expected at
any moment So complete is the system
invented by Mr.. Carlisle for announcing
the arrival of bird that as soon as it
reaches the cote the fact is made known
in his residence by the ringing of an eIec-
trio bell.
1t is believed, however, that the vessel
was outbound, as the last four master re-
ported was too far out 10 have got in by
this time.
Among the arrivals by the Australia
was George q. Beckley, who will superin-
tend the completion of the Helene,
launched from the Union Iron Works
yards last Monday for the Wilder Steam
ship Company of Honolulu. Before start
ing for San Francisco Mr.. Beckley was
presented with a purse and the money
will be used by the recipient in the pur-
chase of flag for the new boat. While
here Mr.. Beckley will contract for the
building of another steel steamer which
will be at least fifty feet longer than the
largest vessel owned by the company and
will have a speed of at least Is knots.
This will make four steamers that will
have been built in San Francisco for
Hawaiian firms during the past twelve
months.
The Australia brought up the first con-
signment of taro -four ever brought to
this country. She has 204 sacks for Will
liam Hires of Chicago. The people of that
city will have a chance to sample regular
Hawaiian poi in the near future. The offi-
GERS Of the steamer are wondering just
what use will be made of the -four, as poi

tivate palate 10 thoroughyappreciate it.

OLYMPIC GUN CLUB.
1t Will Not Give a Bench Show Until
the Pacific Kennel Club
Disbaudx.


Disbands.
The officers of the Olympic Gun Club
met last evening at its handsomely fur
nished clubroom, 1909 Van Ness avenue,
and discussed the proposition of holding
a bench show this year in this City.
A committee from the Pacific Kennel
Club reported that the directors of the
Pacific Kennel Club concluded not to give
bench show this year, but in the event
of the Olympic Gun Club deciding to give
q show under its auspices the mem bers
of the Pacific Kennel Club would sup
port it.
After considerable discussion the Olym-
pic Gun Club decided that it would not
give show as long as the Pacific Kennel
Club was in existence, as it had no desire
to conflict with the supposed good inten-
tions of the old club
On next Wednesday evening meeting
of the Gun Club will be held to hear the
final report of the committee which was
appointed purposely to procure the views
of the members of the Pacific Kennel
Club, and if majority of those mem bers
decide that the Pacific Kennel Club
should disband, then the Olympic Gun
Club will go ahead and give show, as
no STUN bling block will then be in its
road to offset a venture which it has every
reason to believe will eventually result in
a grand success.

Little Boy Acrob ats.

The attention of Secretary Walsh of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
dren was called TO the fact that two lads,
members of an acrobatic company now per-
forming at the Orpheum, were under the age
permitted under the State law for such exhibi-
lions. The lads are 16 and ID years of age and
thew appear with the Frantz family. Inquiry
developed the fact that their names are Fred
and Walter lamb and that they are sons of
John Lam b of Birmingham, England. In De-
cember, 1894, the father apprenticed the
teach the boys to become prof essional aero
bats. Frantz, upon learning that he would
violate the State law by permitting the little
fellows to perform, stated that he would not
let them go on, as there are pletny in the
troupe without them.
