here at least two months, and I shall
be glod to make more permanent ar

wages customary for that work These
will not be the wages Of the skilled
workman in the city, and L do not
know how they will conform to the
union scale, but furnish lodging and
the same board that we have our
selves. The woman will be expected to
assist my wife and do such work as
it is customary for woman to do
about farm, and she will be paid
accordingly. If there is child old
enough to be of assistance in berry
picking, shall be glad to pay it the
rate paid other children about here

full wages for inexperienced help, but

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
open YESTERDAY
THE FIRST DAYS SESSION WAS
UNDER MOST PLEASING
AUSPICES.

n public schools in the city were
opened yesterday morning under the
most pleasing auspices. The first
days enrolment was greater than
tnat OF last year, which is speaking
volumes for the children, the parents,
the schools and the increase in ponu..
lation.
Deputy School Superintendent Gill
bert Ross was present with Principal
Schoer to greet the pupils, and all the
teacners, returned fresh from their
vacations, were at their posts when
the 3 o'clock bell rang. The an
pearance of the scholars was a credit
10 any metropolitan city. The little
ones had been scrubbed until their
little faces shone like the sunlight.
and their linen was spotless. The
larger boys and girls had done their
own scrubbing and 1t was the bright
est, merriest and happiest crowd of
school children ever seen inside of
any school. The teachers all seemed
pleased to be once again back at their
duties and everything went as smooth
as the ocean after the pouring of
oil.
From the dome of the school float
ed the American flag, one of the most
attractive features of the opening.
There was little done in the way OF
hard work, for the first day at school,
the pupils having to be arranged in
their new grades, and then supplied
with the list of books that are need
ed for the various classes. This will
come today or tomorrow.

Eminent LEGAL
Light IN CITY
J. c. CAMPBELL ARRIVES IN
SUPERINTENDENT HE'D
DENIS CAR.


J.. G. Campbell, senior member of
the well known law firm of Camp
bell. Nelson and Brown, of this city
and San Francisco, arrived here on
Sunday night, coming from Los An
geles, the guest of Mr.. Hedden, sup
e%rintendent of the Tonopah and Gold
field Railroad Company, in that gen
tleman's private car. Mizpah.
Mr.. Campbell came here on bust
ness connected with his firm. Tono-
pah has been his home for more than
a year past, and he would have been
here long since, but for being detain-
ed in San Francisco by the graft
cases. He was the attorney of FT-
Mayor Schmitz, and also of John Ben
son. He has cases which will occupy
his attention here and in Goldfield
and in Carson. In addition to the
law business which will occupy his
attention for some time, Mr.. Camp
bell has also large mining interests
here, in Goldfield, Manhattan, Bull
frog and Blair.
Il have great confidence in this
country said Mr.. Campbell, last
night. 81 have invest
ments through it, and my home Is
here. OF course / have also large
interests in San Francisco. Down in
San Francisco there is no end OF
building going on, and in a manner
that would astonish a man who has
been away from there for a year or
more. But San Francisco is not on
her financial feet yet, and will not be
for another year. The labor troubles
and the wraft prosecution have sadly
demoralized business matters. The
affair of Labor Day was particularly
distressing, and it seems as if ii
might have been avoided.
But all these things will straight
en- themselves out after awhile and
the city get into her normal groove
There have been trying times fol
many, but the metropolis has a noble
future before her, and her destiny
will be greater than ever before i'm.
agined."

aThe camp seems to have taken

sender that such is the case. The
mines have been conscientiously de-

There is lots OF leasing going on

hardly a failure at any point. Dan

Sailor Loses Finger With Which He
Had Plugged a Leaking Boat.

curious story illustrating the number
and ferocity of the sharks that infest the
harbor of Manila is afforded by an incident
reported in the mail just received at the
insular bureau from the Philippines. This
Is to the effect that as one of the boats be-
longing to the small gunboat Elcano was
being rowed out to the ship February the
plug in the bottom of the boat came out,
and to prevent it from being swamped j. J.
Dunlap, a sailor belonging to the Elcano,
thrust his finger into the hole. 1t was i'm
mediately bitten off as if it were amputated
by surgeon, though the amputation in
this case was by a shark AS the lost
finger was used to pull the trigger of his
rifle, the sailor will have to be retired being
incompetent to perform his duties.
