tion OF Electric Energy on the
Comstock Lode.
Hon. Francis G.. Newlands, in an
interview with Chronicle represen.
tative today on the plans of tho
Truckee River General Electric Com
pany, and the results that will. follow
the introduction Of electric power on
the Comstock lode for operating
hoist, pump and mill plants, said:
"The contracting parties are men
OF capital and business experience
and are prosecuting their plans with
good judgment and energy. The
company has secured the best engin-
eering capacity, both in hydraulics
and electricity. The company has
obtained the right Of way for their
pole line and are now determining
the location Of the dynamo plant.
@Tthey control considerable portion
OF the Truckee river and can locate
the plant either in California OF Ne
vada. 1 hope they will conclude to
locate it in Nevada, as the taxes will
then contribute to the revenue of this
State. see no reason why the plant
should not be completed by next
August, though the contract provides
for longer time. ..-.
3The Rand mines in South Africa
are operated to depth of 1000 feet
which is true also of the Lake Super
ior copper mines, am told. l see
no reason why the Comstock should
not be operated to a similar depth. 1
see no reason why the mineral depos-
it's should terminate at the Sutro
tunnel level.
"Bonanzas have been found here
and there, like raisins in pudding
above. l see no reason why you
should not find some raisins below
the Sutro tunnel level. 1t is true the
lower levels have been partially ex-
plored, but never so thoroughly as
the upper levels, and the history of.
the Comstock is that it is easy to es-
cape an ore body in the work of pros
pecting, as ore bodies have been dis
covered in locations where the ground
has been riddled with prospecting
drifts and encouragement was gen.
eral."
Mr.. Newlands added. @that an IN
crease in the number of men en-
ployed is not probable until cheap
power has uncovered the lower levels
and it would he unwise for men en-
ployed elsewhere to drift to the Com.
stock until opportunities for increas-
ed work are presented" He feared
lest the publications regarding the
development Of the Comstock might
create the impression elsewhere that
employment was available now. He
said, at would be mistake to at.
tract men here now who would nec-
essarily remain several months with
out employment" .. ..

DAYS THAT ARE NO MORE"
Rev. William RAIDER breaches an Ap-
pTopriate New Years Sermon.

The Rev. William RAIDER of the Third
Congregational Church preached an ap-
propriate New Years day sermon yester-
day, taking for his subject line from
Tennyson's Tears, Idle Tears" namely,
''The days that are no more"
He spoke of the great events of the past
year, notably of the war with Spain, and
of the brilliant victories on land and sea
achieved by the American army and navy
He referred also TO the deaths of Glad
stone and Bismarck and of the great
loss which England and Germany suf-
fered thereby.
Life he said, "is not absolute in its
length, but always relative. Abraham
Lincoln lived longer than Methusalem,
and in the last year Mckinley lived 100
Abrahamic years, if we judge from what
he has undergone in the late war. We
judge life not only by its length, but by
its depth; that is, by the amount of good
that is accomplished in it.
There are two types of old age.
Shakespeare's King Lear was a fright
full example of disappointed old ace, while
on the other hand John Greenleaf Whit
tier was a miracle of poetic art and his
close was peacefulness itself, no morbid
anxiety or apprehension.
There is great necessity for US to make
right use of our moments for we cannot
separate ourselves from eternity. 1t is our
duty to invest our time with the highest
and best that it within us

The incident was recalled when Otero
received a full description of Dunham
from the Mexican authorities at Mazat-
Ian. This was in Spanish and taken
from those sent out by the California
authorities. The description, including
that of the teeth, corresponded with
that of the stranger who had mysteri-
ously appeared and gone in the direc-
ton of the Gulf of Lower California
thirty miles from the ranch.
'Otero and his men went prospecting
toward the coast a few months later
The dogs scented an object on a sand
dune in the midst of a dreary cacti-
covered desert. investigation revealed
skeleton and a few pieces of coat
cloth and the demijohn carried by the
stranger. The coyotes had done the
rest
From my many conversations with
Otero upon the subject. and from the
descriptions given, I am convinced that
Durham is no more, and that Otero
was the last man to see him alive. So
positive am I of this that Otero has
been instructed to fetch in all that re-
mains of the body and we shall en-
deavor to claim the reward"

Los ANGELES. Jan. doubt is ex-
pressed that Ed Smith, who is held in
Burlington, Iowa, is the San Jose MUIR
derer, James c. Durham, for whom
reward of $1,000 is offered. This doubt
is increased by the information given
by A. j. Altamarino Jr.. who is the
superintendent of extensive San Luis
gold mines in Lower California Alta
marino, who has recently returned from
the property, said:
On my last trip I stopped at the
ranch of Juan Otero, who related the
incident of a stranger appearing in that
country dressed in a Prince Albert coat
and with brownish beard and strag-
Cling hair. He carried a wicker covered
demijohn. The howling of the dogs at
tracted Otero's attention, as the ap-
pearance of a stranger on foot in that
country is unusual unless he is a fugi-
tive from justice. The stranger ac-
cepted food. but did not speak. He
avoided direct look and acted sus-
piciously. The next day he departed.

ing through a large number of transfers
and promotions in the closing days of it's
term, thereby entailing greater expense
on the school department and further
tion is taken by some to indicate that
the injunction issued by Judge Belcher
had not served its purpose, the contrary
is the case The injunction was applied
for to prevent the board from appointing
forty or more additional teachers, entail
ing an annual increased expense of about
S20O 900. This object was accomplished.
Those who applied for the injunction did
not dream that the gang members of tne
board would commit such a faerant
breach of trust and violate their sworn
duty in order to spite their critics, but
even if this could have been anticipated
1t is regarded as extremely doubtful
in the discharge of what might have con-
stituted the necessary duties of the
board had they performed the same hon
estly and judiciously. 1t was feared that
performing duties which under certain
circumstances or conditions arising might
become 1e :, necessary, 3 would not stand the
rather than take the chance of hav-
ing the application for an injunction re-
fused because more than the law provided
was asked, the petitioners decided not
to include the question of transfers of
teachers The gang simply saw the open
ing and crept IN.
It remains to be seen whether the new
board will attempt to undo the work of the
old board. Director-elect Stow said last
night that if the new board found
that there were more teachers in the de-
partment than were required the direct
ors would probably find a way to ct rid
of the surplus.
mo business man would think of keep
ing a number of men in his employ when
he had nothing for them to do" said Mr..
Stow, land | see no reason why the School
Department should pay teachers for do
ing nothing. / cannot say just what will
be done, but if there is surplus of
teachers some of them will probably be
discharged, and they can ask the courts
to decide whether our action is legal or
not"
Mr.. Stow expressed the opinion that the
incoming board would endeavor to serve
the city and county honestly and do wnat
they could TO redeem the department from
the disgrace at present attaching to it,
If any of the new members were inclined
to emulate the example of their predeces-
sors he was confident they would find
themselves in the minority.
IF Mr.. Bergerot is elected president of
the board he said in conclusion, 81 shall
give him my hearty support to secure
clean administration of the affairs of the
