INHERITANCE
TAX TO HELP
THE TEACHERS
Their Demands to
T axe Precedence.
VIEWS OF AUDITOR WELLS
TWO MONTHS UNPAID SALARIES
MUST BE PAID FIRST.
VIEWS OF AUDITOR WELLS

The Finance Committee OF the Board OF
Education Will meet Auditor Wells on
next Tuesday or Wednesday in order 10
devise ways and means 10 pay 5000 Of
miscellaneous demands incurred by the
board June OF this year, and which
were never paid. Resolutions We're passed
at the last meeting OF the board 10 the
effect that as there would be a surplus in
the school funds these claims should be
paid out OF such surplus. Auditor Wells
IS not so sure that this can be done. In
discussing the matter yesterday he said:
II there is q surplus in the school funds
at the end OF the present fiscal year, and
1 believe there Will be, the law says very
clearly that II must be carried over into
next year and cannot be applied 10 pay
ment OF old claims. l would ike 10 see
my way clear TO passing these demands
that We're legitmately contracted last
June but I have closed my account and
they have never been called 10 my atten-
ton.
moneys collected as Inheritance taxes.
expect q settlement from the State re-
garClng the Stanford estate IN a few days,
and the school funds Will be enriched 10
the extent OF about $4,000. Now l regard
that money as belonging 10 the city on
the day that Mr.. Stanford died, therefore
u can be applied TO the claims unpaid OF
that and subsequent years.
Not taking into account what was
termed by. Judge Seawell as the illegal
payment in June, 1897, OF Sll3,4 ,4l2 IS when
there was that amount OF shortage in the
school funds, we come down 10 the
teachers warrants OF November and De-
cember, 1895, amounting TO S94 ,405 20 and
sS6. .672 40 respectively. ! am of the opinion
that the inheritance tax moneys must
first be applied TO paying these demands,
and as more Of such moneys come in we
may discharge all those obligations until
we arrive at the claims for $1,000 in June,
1893. Only then can these latter claims be
paid. as the teachers demands must OF
necessity take precedence. 1t is possible.
too. that the surplus now contemplated
may be used in some way, but / must
consult my attorney as 10 that. After the
teachers salaries are paid now there will
remain about 100 a month for other
purposes. AS very little IS now being
spent for repairs TO schoolhouses there
ought 70 be a good surplus at the end OF
this fiscal year.

MINING GROUND" DEFINED.
Supreme Court Passed on a Point of
Much Importance.

The California Lustral Company, a min
ing corporation, undertook TO mine a min
eral deposit east OF Oakland for the pur-
pose OF manufacturing paint. A plant for
grinding and refining the natural product
was erected. In order 10 carry on ope-
ratons, the company borrowed money
from J. j. johnson. giving him two notes
or S5S36 each and a mortgage on the l0i
acres OF land being mined TO secure their
payment. The venture was a failure and
Johnson sued to foreclose the mortgage.
Inc action was resisted on the ground
that under the law il was unlawful for
the directors TO sell. lease or mortgage
mining property without the ratification
OF the holders OF two-thirds Of the capi-
tai stock. This brought up the question
as 10 whether the mortgaged property
was mining ground" or agricultural
land. The lower court found that II was
agricultural land, holding that land can
not be considered as mining ground un-
less minerals can be taken therefrom in
paying quantities. Judgment went 10

The Supreme Court takes a different
view OF the meaning OF mining ground

and when such operations are pursued n

'HOOT MONS" IN
THE MERRY DANCE
Greenway i'm Tan "Knick-
erS" Leads the Golf
COtiIlOn.

6T HE golf cotillon, the first affair OF
its kind in this Western metropolis,
Il was a merry success and the pa
tronesses are receiving congratula-
tons from all who were fortunate enough
10 attend either as participants or specta-
tors.
The affair took place at Cotillon Hall
yesterday afternoon and was modelled
after a similar affair that was one of the
social successes of last years New York
season. Golf costume was supposed 10 be
de rigueur. but although all of the fairer
sex obeyed the law 10 the letter many OF
the men shied at the ''knickers" and came
in business suit instead.
It was originally intended that the la
dies wear white pique golf dress, relieved
by a crimson tie and sash. Many broke
away, though, from the details OF the cos
tune, and varied the dress by wearing
colored skirts and having the shirt waist
Of silk or shining satin. The effect Of
the whole, however. was pretty in the
extreme. Greenway led the cotillon and
also, for that matter, in the fashion Of
Of a natty tan shade and his shapely

liant golf hosiery. His tie was pink. his
low shoes brilliant orange and alto

was intended that the dance begin at 3
o'clock. The guests as usual, however
were late in arriving, and IL was long
past before the cotillOn began. Four
figures were danced, all new and original,
with a decidedly golfy flavor to them all.
Those in the first set were: Miss Edith
Preston, Worthington Ames, Miss The
rese Morgan. Norris Davis, Miss Ethyl
Hager. Willard Drown, Miss Florence
Josselyn, Z. G. Sessions, Miss Isabel Kit
