Want UnIforn, rex, Boola.

Nearly every Southern State except Florida has uniform sysce1n of text books, and a measure of rnis eharac- ter will be presented at the next ses- sion,- modelled after the North Carolina law. The bill was introduced at the last session and passed thv Senate by majority of one vote, but 1t was tabled in the House. The Governor will recommend the passage of such an act fin his message.
 He states that the saving on text books will not be less than twenty five per cent under a uniform system, and may be more than that. The Gov ernor of Alabama estimates the saving at forty per cent, which item amounts to something like $s0,000 per annum in Alabama, and would be or a similar figure in Florida, The book concerns that have term contracts with vari~ ous county boards of education are preparing to vigorously. oppose the measure, and this promises to be one of the most interesting fights before the next assembly.
 The North Carolina law provides for State School Book C0nmiss which in Florida would be composed of the Board of State Institutions, which com prIses the entire cabinet, and the ap- pointment of a sub-commission of &C., tive eduqators. the latter tv select the books on their merits without knowl- edge of their prices or or the bids submitted. the final selection being left to the State commission. There is every indication that the bill will be ] 3sed.

Fish Commission Rili.

Another measure that if passed will be productive of revenue to the State in. eontradistinetion to a saving to the individual will be that providing for Fish Commission and graduated tax on the fishing industry. Florida has a great stretch of coast line, and in- humerable Inland fisheries that yield an enormous profit to professional fishermen, and yet there Is no tax whatever upon the business. and the fish and game laws are not enforced because there is no provisiSn for com pensation to officers charged with this duty.
 The establishment of a Fish and Game Commission to have ksupervision of this industry will unquestionably re- suit from the agitation which has be- gun in favor of it. The Governor will make recommendation in favor of such law as wifi best conserve the ends Ofs pRotecting the State g. fisheries and at tAe same time collect a reasonably sufficient tax from those who reap profit from the business.

Coast Line Mandamus.

The mandamus proceeding instituted by the Attorney General against the Atlantic Coast Line - more than two months ago to force the railroad com pany to put it's tracks and roadbed in safe and suitable condition for traffic broke again into public notice this week by the motion of the railroad at torneys to quash the amended alter native writ prepared by the Attorney General under order of the court that unless it were amended that a per emptory writ would not issue. The decision rendered by the court in mak- ing the order was most radical. de- claring that the railroad must be main tained at the maximum efficiency, spending of it's revenue all if neces- sary. even if all of It's creditors went unpaid.
 Yet the writ prayed for by the Att torney General was denied because of certain defects pointed out by the court, the chief of which was that the allegations were not definite. dealing too much in generalities and not suf- flciently in the specific duties which would be required under yhe desired writ. The motion to quasn was made upon identically the grounds com plained of by the court. and the. de- cision of the court on the motion is now pending

Wharf is Rebuilt.

.. < Pero,oo. wharf, owned by the Pensa- EYaysI srdiEo Railroad. which was de- SAfoA .l4 d4rlng the September hurri- cane, has een rebuilt, the work being completed today. All of the wood work portion of the big structure was car rIed away including ties and the tracks. and although the work com menced immediately after the storm, 1t has just been finished. The total amount of wharfage and track rebuilt amounts to 2,260 feet. the main wharf extending out 1900 feet from the bal last docks, which are about half a mile in length, and connected with the wharf is an l., which extends west 1,- 900 feet.
 The destruction of this wharf caused much inconvenience and delay in ship ping until portions were rebuilt so that vessels could be doeked. It is the principal structure of the port for the shipment of lumber and timber, and during the time that 1t was out of commission many vessels were com peled to wait for cargoes, as the sup ply of lumber lighters was limited.

Annex to CapltoI.

The congested condition at the State House will undoubtedly call for an appropriation to build an annex. It Is proposed to erect building in which shall be domiciled the Supreme Court, the Railroad Commission and the Su- preme Court Library, ana possibly the Adiutsnt Generals Department. At the present time the committee rooms Of the Legislature are being occupied by tha Railroad Commission. the Ad- iutant General. the State Auditor and the Tax Redemption Department The basement of the capitol Is 1lled with books and papers that cannot be prop erly cared for in this condition. If the appropriation Is obtained the office Of the State Librarian. or that of Gus todlan of Archives and History will probably be created.
 The need for both Is most urgent. The present state House is woefully inadequate, and the entire building. in cluding the cost of the wings which were added during the preceding ad- ministration dld not cost upwards of a quarter of a million. Every depart ment is cramped for room and facili- ties.

TONoPAH. Jan. 19.-One of the most
important mining deals that has oc-
curred in Southern Nevada, outside Of
the Goldheld merger, was consummated
Wednesday. when I. NJ Baum W. S.
Badger and James A. Buchanan, acting
in conjunction with San Francisco and
Eastern capitalists, purchased the ia
nous Blue Jacket group Of claims at
Round Mountain.
The estate consists Of five claims and
two fractions and is considered by ex-
in this wonderfully rich gold camp.
Those in charge of the property are
confident that the mine will be a pro-
ducer within the next ninety DAYS. It's
location is such that the extremely rich
ledge of the Fairview claim can be
traced through the Blue Jacket ground
This ledge has produced, within the last
two months. over $500 in high-g grade
alone, exclusive of the immense body
of high-class milling ore.
It is the intention of the company to
list the stock on the San Francisco
exchange without delay, and develop
ment work will be resumed at once.
f. NJ Simpson, a welknown mining
engineer, who has. just returned from
the Vanderbilt mines in Ecuador, will
be the consulting engineer of the COM
pany, while the work will be carried
on under the general management of
James A. Buchanan, one of the sue
cessful leasers on the Kewanos in
Goldheld. Everett o. Smith, who, with
his father. developed the Sphinx, will

The sale of this property, on account
of its remarkably rich showing, has
caused a sensation on the streets here
and in Goldfeld, and those who Sc
cured it are to be congratulated. as

deal was closed, were offered a hand

TONOPAH, Jan. 1s.-Reeent reports
from the property of the Silver Glance
Mining Company a mile from Hanna
pah, are encouraging. The company
is controlled by the Brock clique OF
Philadelphia. which has made the To-
nopah mine the success that 1t is. De-
velopment is being prosecuted vigOr-
ously, though hampered by the heavy
snow. It is the intention OF the COM
pany to equip the mine with hosting
machinery that will permit the sinking
of the shaft to a greater depth than il
now possible.
In the meantime. the work in the
mine consists in exploring the ledge at
depth of 100 feet. the bottom level
in the present shaft. According to
reliable reports. the lode has been
proved to be bigger and more valuable
than was at first expected.
In connection with this property, the
Brock people have planed a railroad
to join the Tonopah gold field with Ely.
The survey has already been made.
This line will not only tap the Silver
Glance section. but viii run through
the Kawtch and Revei1Ie camps and
open a vast area to development hith-
erto impossible because Of high hauling
rates.
Several local men. among them
David Holland, Harry Chickering and

in the Silver Chance property.
