Teachers Institute Notes.

The Institute, after being in session
I'VE days, closed last Friday afternoon.
The number Of teachers enrolled dur
ing the session was $50. Males, l22 ;
females, l2S.
The fact that the Town Hall was
crowded, day after day, proved that the
people of Greenbrier are wide awake
to the great cause of education.
The teachers were all well pleased
with the Instructors, Profs. Harris
and Darnall, but we heard great deal
of complaint about the poor program
furnished by the State Superintendent.
The teachers always seem to enjoy
this annual gathering, rs do the people
of our town.
About SO persons stood the eXamina-
ton here Saturday and Monday, and
the Board of Examiners are now busy
grading the papers.
The following resolutions were pre-
sented and adopted
Resolved, LIST, That we favor the adop-
ton of Harvey's Grammar as text
books in our schools.
End, That we object to the compul.
sorry school law as it now stands.
Bird, That the Legislature pass law
making the minimum salary of teach
crs not less than $50, 500 and SIS per
month.
4th, That we approve the course pur.
sued by the County School Book Board
5th, That we disapprove the uniform
Text Book law as passed by the Legis.
lature of 1895.

their time while engaged in looking af
ter the interests of their schools.
9th, That the teachers examinations
be made uniform throughout the State
10th, That we recognize IN Profs
Harris and Darnall thorough and elf
cient Instructors, and should the State
Superintendent in his wise judgment
decide to send them to us again, they
will be gladly received by all, especially
Prof. Darnall by the ladies. Although
we were highly entertained by the abov,
mentioned gentlemen, we felt greatly
the loss of one, who has been with ust
for several years, Prof. Jas. Il. Rucker
We regret his departure from us, bu
hope to welcome him again at some flu
ture time.
nth, That we tender vote of thank!
to the trustees for the use of the Towr
Hall, and to the people of the town fo
their hospitality.

Thompson an able, worthy, efficient ant

THE SAN JOSE PLACERS.
A Company of Which +. A. MaEzan-
ares and Nj. Brunswick are Off
GERS is Working the San Jose
PIacers in Grant County.

Hon. Frank A. Manzanares of Las Ve-
gas, who has just returned from Grant
county where he is interested in placer
mining, was seen by representa-
tive of the New MEXICAN yesterday and
something learned concerning the work
undertaken by the San Jose Placer Min
ing company, of which Mr.. M. Brunswick
is president and Mr.. Manzanares is a
stockholder and director.
The placer grounds are located three
miles east of Fort Bayard and Central
City, and are in the bed of the San Jose
creek below the level of the surrounding
land. This made operations somewhat
difficult, as there ls no grade to run off
the tailings. About the middle of May a
large suction pump, run by a 25.horse
power engine, was put in, which elevates
the sand and gravel to point high
enough to permit sluicing in the usual
way. Water is procured from the bed of
the creek, drawn up by the pump. which
elevates everything in the nature of sand
and dirt that will pass through six-inch
opening.
The machinery ID working very satls-
factorily, and Mr.. Manzanares says that
if there is any gold in the ground it will
be gotten. Mr.. Brunswick, who is at the
works, expected to make a cleanup to-
day, and the company will know in a
very short time what the placers under
it's control amount to.
Mr.. s. E. Rogers is the inventor aud
patentee of the pump and machinery in
use and is uperintendiug the workings
of the plant.
