Chairman George T. Mills of the
State Fish Commission Saturday
made application to United States
Commissioner George M. Bowers at
Washington, D. c. for spawn OF dlf-
ferent varieties of trout, the spawn
to be delivered here this fall for dis
tribution. He asked especially for
a number of spawn of the Scotch or
lock-levin trout and expects to re-
ceive a consignment of these specie.
This trout was introduced in this
country several years ago and has
proven to be an exceptionally hardy
and game fish. They have never
been planted in the western streams
and this shipment will be the first
that has ever been sent west.
The commission has completed It's
distribution for the present year,
having distributed over one million
spawn in the streams of this state
The work of the commission will be
resumed in October when the hatch
cry at this place Will be reopened.

new DISTRICT
TO THE FRONT
Rich Smelling Ore Un-
covered and Values
ara Now Increasing

Greedy French of Silver City is at
tending to business interests in this
city and section today.
Mr. French states that work in the
Jacks Valley and Lake Tahoe Mining
district is progressing at rapid
rate at the present time.
The claims owned by himself and
Bigot have been leased to the Bigot
Brothers who are at the present co..
ing a vast amount of development
work ON the property. Three shafts
have been sunk on the ledge showing
it to lie fully 200 feet in width. AS
says from the ledge show copper val
lues of from 30 to 40 per cent and
silver. With recent development the
gold values are showing a marked
Improvement and recent assays
from the mine are little short of SEN
sational when the amount of develop
ment work is taken into considera-
ton.
The ore is smelling ore and with
a smelter in this vicinity the holdings
of the company in that section would
prove to be among the best in this
section of the state.
The mine is situated about miles
west of the Kirman and Lewis ranch
in Jacks Valley and about ten miles
from this city.
Once more the smelter proposition
proves factor in the mining indus
try of this section of the state and
the sooner one is built and placed in
operation the sooner this section OF
Nevada will take its rightful place
in the ranks of producing mines.

has fire-proof magazines holding the films, from which they run through the machine directly into another such magazine. So sure are the managers of the motion pie ture theatres that there is no possibility of a fire from this source, with the equip ment and operating room now in use, that they hereby make the offer to give 5000 to some charity if any man who doubts this statement above made can set fire to the film in the operating room; provided however, that if he fails he must give $500 to the same cause.
 Every theatre using calcium lights and oil lamps, particularly such as the ones in Pennsylvania, may become house of danger The small theatres are safer than any of the larger places of amuse- ment for the reason that in any contin- gency which may arise in any house of amusement it can be more quickly emptied than the larger playhouses. The possibilities of panic and the risk there- of have been reduced to the minimum. The most rigid examinations have from time to time been made by the properly constituted city authorities; also the in- surance inspectors have passed upon the question of the proper safety of the places As far as is possible in any playhouse every safeguard has been pro- to the public in any particular, and there are no stairways to be turned into death traps.
 The public is assured that, notwithstand- ing the alarm sounded by MT. Sparks.

ALI Robbers.

It appears that every one that is at least Inclined to take the goods that belong to other people is trying to make headquar- ters around this city. The thefts range all the way from stealing coal to robbing grocery stores. Of course, at the pres ent time it is very hard to blame any one for wanting to get a supply of coal, especially since it costs S4.50 per ton with in half mile of the place where it Is actually mined. But this grocery busi- ness is too much and a couple of small merchants have almost been put out of business simply because some thief de- cided on his place of business a most desirable location in which to work.
 The Woodward commissary at Brighton was entered last evening by two Besse- mer negroes, but the only thing they were able to get out of the raid was a shot gun. Officer Tomlin of Brighton caught one of them, and he notified the Bessemer police that he thought the other man was on the way here. Everybody got busy, and the result was that when the negro arrived here on the North Bessemer car he found just three officers waiting to take him into custody.
 Ills case came up this morning. and he had all sorts of charges lodged against him. The other negro will be given a trial in Brighton and judging from the way the other violaters of the law have been handled in that city, he will cer tainly get all that is coming to him.

Business In City Court Good.

Business in the city court for the past week has been exceptionally brisk, not withstandlng the fact that the court only held over for three days. The criminal docket was scheduled for Monday last but when the day came it was found that there was no solicitor. Colonel God frey, the solicitor had gone out of the city and it was not known just when he would return. For this reason, Judge William Jackson, was forced to make a trip to Birmingham and take the mat ter up with Solicitor Hefin. since he has the appointive power. G. G. Perry was appointed and the court got down to business on Tuesday morning.
 There were about 16 cases to receive attention and q greater portion of these were disposed of Out of this number there were five on trial for selling whisky Three were convicted, one case was con tinued, and one man came clear of the charge.
 There were two convictions for assault with a wea pon, one case of larceny dis missed, one man charged with bigamy was cleared of the charge, and several other cases were mol pressed. The other cases that go to make up the Is were minor cases and in some instances went by default.
 Beginning Monday morning the non-jury cases will be heard and it Is thought that these cases will consume most of tine week.
 On February the grand jury will be in. session and it is believed that there. will

Blind Tiaers cantured.

Deputy Sheriff John Smithson went out to Blue Creek this morning and roped in two men that were supposed, or at least accused. of running blind tigers. He ar rested Gus Caldwell, a well known negro in the district, and he also took into cus- tody another negro named Oney Wright. It appears that there is not very much evidence against Wright, but Caldwell was actually caught with the goods. He had quart and a pint of the good old time mean liquor on his person when cap tured and he was unable to get rid of it in time, simply because the deputy had received a hunch that he had the goods and he walked up on him and demanded that he hand over the goods The negro's pockets were too large to hold the goods without detection. and the fact that he had bottles on him was very evident Wright is also supposed to be a blind thing. and he was taken just after he had disposed of his stock. Both negroes were taken to Birmingham and will re- main there for some time.

Wrong Reports About Reunion.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 have been shown a clipping from the Savannah Press of a press dispatch headed Birmingham, Ala, January 13, 1908. Blue and gray will gather, in Bir- mingham at Confederate reunion. Bir- mingham now raising fund" I am also further informed that similar press dis patches have been plIblished' in other papers, and this 'unauthorlzed inforna- tion distributed oyerethe country has given dissatisfaction with those who wore tho gray and the blue.
 The time is not yet ripe for such, and may never be. We are friendly and gen. erous enough now with each other, and we wish to forever maintain friendly re- lations with the brave and manly soldiers with whom we clashed arms.
 We are as loyal to the government as those who wore the blue, but possibly in some unguarded moment our loyalty would be challenged, which might pro duce friction, or else mar our pleasant relations We are opposed to holding a reunion of the blue and gray and such q reunion will not be held in Birmingham, but the annual Confederate Veterans re- union will be held in June.

To the Editor of The Age Herald: --
 The criticisms and suggestions of MT. Sparks with reference to the picture shows-the pleasure places of thousands are not justified by the facts.
 These theatres generally seat about 200 people and can be emptied by ample exits fin two minutes. It Is true that the machine-operating room is directly over the front entrance. This machine room is completely lined with asbestos and sheet iron. It has automatic closing trap doors Now if some one should carry any infiammable matter into it and set it afire the result would be similar to lighting a fire in a stove. However, there is no infiammable stuff in the operating room. The apparatus used cannot possibly cause a fire; the new g. model machine in gen. eral use has ire-proof'-shield; it also

be a great many indictments returned, as 1t Is known that there are good many cases to be investigated by this body. The best thing about the city court of Bessemer is the promptness with which business that comes before the court is dispatched Judge Jackson always insists on getting through. and he never fails to impress this fact on the witnesses that are summoned in the different cases. On several occasions he has felt constrained to impose fine for tardness on tardy witnesses and the natural result has been that the witnesses usually try and make it convenient to be on hand when court convenes.

Schools In Fine Condition.

The public schools of this city have just closed their examination for the first term and the result of the examination is, indeed, very gratifying to the members of the Board of Education. By these ex- aminations a good many scholars were enabled to obtain advancement to higher grades, and the method that has been adopted by the board is being very gen orally commended all over the city.
 It has been the custom in the past or at least a good many of the scholars have been laboring under the impression that they could stand one or more examine tions, and then when d hard one came along they could remain at home and set up the plea that they were sick or otherwise compelled to remain absent. Professor Dill set up the claim that this was working a hardship on the scholars that attended school regularly and stood the different examinations, and he sug- gested that the board should make some provision whereby those of the scholars that were absent at any of the examina- tions should stand them at a later date. The board decided then that any scholar that was absent during any of the exam nations should stand them at some date to be named by the superintendent, un- less they procured a written certificate from the attending physician.
 As a result of the above most of the ScnOldfS nave been on nand rom the lowest to the highest grades. The chill dren of the lower grades were not sup posed to be as prompt as those of the higher grades, and the ruling was aimed at those that knew and should realize the importance of attending the examina- tions. It is admitted on all sides that this is the best ruling that the board has made in some time, and it has been the means of bringing the scholars to time.
 The school system in Bessemer is very good at the present. There are two white and two colored schools, and each of these is crowded to its capacity. The sec ond term properly begins on next Mon day morning and will continue through the last of May, when the final examina- tions take place. If the averages of the different schools keep up for the re- mainder of the year as they are at the present tmie, this year will be. indeed, the banner year for the Bessemer public schools.
