San Francisco-City and County At

Eese school case to-day, as altered by
the new agreement, said:
"If it is the Japanese children over
sixteen years old who are to be kept
out Of our public schools, statute No.
1862 of the civil code will have to be
repealed by the Legislature. The
statute makes provision that all chill
dren between the ages of 6 and q shall
be allowed to enter our public schools,
except for certain reasons.
"The statute also provides that in
case an Oriental school is provided. the
children of the people so specified shall
attend no other. The statute specifies
children of Mongolian descent. and we
shall insist, until proved otherwise in
court, that the Japanese are not Of
Mongolian descent"

BEGIN DRAINAGE TUNNEL.
Big Bore at Cripple Creek to Be
Pushed

Dcnver-A special to the News from
Colorado Springs says:
Dirt is flying on the new Cripple
Creek drainage tunnel. The tunne!
boa!d held a meeting in Colorado
Springs Thursday, at which the follow
ing resolution was presented:
Resolved, that work be started al
once to build the intermediate tunnel
from its portal to the Nindicator
mine"
President S. S. Bernard then an
nounced to the other members of the
board that work on the big bore was
actually begun yesterday, when he ar
ranged to have the assessment work
for this year done on the tunnel claim.
Instructions were issued by the com
mittee to-day to continue this work,
and the tunnel will now be rushed TO
completion.
Approximately $40O 900 has been act
ually subscribed to the project, which
will construct the tunnel to what Is
known as the contact. from which
point it is the intention to continue 1t
to the eastern end Of the camp. The
additional work will entail an expendi-
ture of as much money, but as this has
Bernard expresses the opinion that the
bore will be built as originally planned
and that at least $S25.000 will be spent.
While that amount has been pledged
the original pledges were allowed to
lapse, which explains the decision of a
few days ago to raise half of the money
and build the tunnel as far as the con,
tact and then arrange to extend it to
the Vindicator mine.
or the money pledged, s75O,o0o has
been subscribed by the mining com
panies, $4,000 by the railroads, and
$25,OOO by the mills and smelters. The
railroads have actually subscribed $685.
900, the remainder being part of the
contingent fund of $45O,000. to be paid
in later for extending the tunnel from
the contact.
A committee composed of President
Bernard, Frank G. Peck and F. F. Cas-
tello was appointed to-day and in
structed to purchase machinery and
superintcnd the operations from now
on. A cash assessment of $4,000 was
made on the subscribers to the project
at to-Gays meeting, which insures
the beginning of the work on scale
that will warrant the confidence of the
public in the enterprise. This assess
ment represents one-tenth of the SiOo,'
600 which has been RAISED to date.
The impression that the tunnel Is to
be constructed only as far as the con
tact is erroneous" continued Presi'
dent Bernard. while the money we
have actually raised will only continue
it to that point. | believe the pledges
of $750,0O0 made by the mine owners
several months ago will be fulfilled to
the dollar. We are now securing re-
newai of these pledges and expect to
make up the deficit that will enable us
to extend the tunnel from the point OF
contact to the eastern end of the camp
as originally planned"
