INSTITUTE NOTES.

The Sierra County Institute
opens next Monday morning at
eight o'clock sharp. Teachers are
requested to be punctual.
A record of work done will be
kept by the superintendent, and
teachers credited at the conclusion
of the examination.
1t is confidently expected that
Prof. Benefits evening lectures
will be generously patronized by
the public. The moderate price
asked for the series should enable
all who are interested IN education
to give their support.
While the Institute il primar-
lily tor teachers, the course Of study
may be taken up by anyone wish
ing to do so. A review of studies,
such AS the course gives, should be
of special interest to pupils in the
advanced grades, while many a bit
of valuable information may be
picked up by older heads. Every
one knows, too, how a neglected
fact viii persist in hiding when
most wanted, and how slight
jog on the memory will bring
out that fact "in smiling array"
As brightener of ideas the Nor
NAL takes high rank. Watch the
sparks fly next week when by the
fiction Of intellect, the minds that
rule the school come together.

PLACER MINING IN NEW
MEXICO.

TbUl blie ItuNSl MlbiliS hVi'' W
Placer mining in New Mexico is
more general throughout the terri
tory than ever before, although not
80 much is doing In the south as
north; formerly this was reversed
The Pittsburg people who put a
"onArter million" in the Hlllsboro
placers, after working on their
Animas pipe line for several
months, have ceased operations.
Something wrong with their water
rights, 1t is said, They have sew
oral hundred acres of the best
placer ground in that section, with
valuable gold lodges running
through them, acquired after over
two years of examination and ne.
gotiation by experts. They are
now doing assessment work on
their claims. Other operators IN
that district have closed their mills
md works and gone to war. In
Grant county there are arrange
ments making for working some
promising praeer tracts. But, all
IN al, there il little Of what might
be termed activity in Southwest
New Mexico. In the Red River
country and around Elizabethtown
there is more capitsi being put in
placer mining than in ledge, In

taken out, although it takes money
now to placer mine. The pan and

lv for testing the dirt. Where
money can be made by those sim
pile methods they have mostly been
worked ont, yet only the fringes of
4he great gold bearing plaeers have |
been worked at, leaving the mil
lions untouched, The probability |
is that the gold oatput will be in
creased more by placer mining
than by ledge the coming year, yet
harder to estimate. Kansas City |
people are putting in immense
dredges in the Moreua valley, near
Elizabethtown, which are success
ful, where the California jet system
has failed on account of not being
able to handle sufficient amount
Of dirt. When the dirt runs from
