SCHOOL HOUSES
 FOR THE YEAR
Total Value of New Buildings Erected Amounts to Three Quarters Oi q MilliOn-Numher Is DecreaSin. But the Quality is Improving.

Further compilations made in the office of the state superintendent of public instruction show that the cost of new school houses erected last year almost doubles that of the previous year, the total value of houses erected fast year being $754.716.44. The fig ures for 1907 and 1906 are s4SS,1OO.24 and $441 ,491 63 The average value of the new houses has gradually in creased for the past three years, be-
 ing S1,561 for 1906, S1,67S for 1907, and $2,45S for the past year.
 It is worthy of note that the number of school buildings is decreasing, there
 being fewer houses reported for 19oS
 than for 1907. This is due to the in
 crease in the efficiency ot the new buildines. For instance, three bulld- Iings were torn away in Philadelphia and were replaced by a single build
 ing. but the new building is by far more serviceable than the three old ones. This is further shown by the | fact that the total valuation of school buildings in 1907 was S3,o62,sl5 whereas in 1908 the report just com nleted shows total valuation of s4,-

The total value of school furniture shows an in crease of S2t2.aS0. or nearly half of the total amount of furniture yaln- alton in l901. The total valuation of all school property under the common school control is S4.S5o ,S570S. or more than SSo9,o00 more than the value re- ported in 1907
 The gradual increase in teachers salaries has also been commented up- on as a note of common school pro- Sres>. The monthly salaries (aver- ased) for 1906, 1907 and 1908, for the various grades of certificate, were as follows:
 State or professional license, s73.13, s11.s4, sss.09 per month.

KILLING NOT
 PREMEDITATED
Verdict of the CorNncr'> Jury in the Case of licnr, Fishers Death Is That it Was Due to knife Wounds Inflicted by Garfield Lewis.

Hot Springs. Ark. Aug. 2S.--"We, the jury, find that the deceased, Hen ry Fisher. came to his death from knife wounds ill the hands of Gar field Lewis, and recommend that Lewis be held to await the action of the grand jury with bond
 Such was the verdict returned af- ter full hearing of the Lincoln town ship tragedy of last Monday when Henry Fisher was stabbed to death and his son, John Fisher, almost fa- tally wounded.
 Three witnesses were brought before the jury-Sol Careley, w. c. Careley and Earl Lee These wit nesses testified in substance to the same thing. They all state that Fisher and his son started the quarrel and continued the wrangling, making movement which caused Lewis to draw his knife to protect himself.
 Testimony given was to the effect that when Lewis drew his knife John Fisher picked up a large rock and threw it at Lewis. With this Lewis started after the younger Fisher slashing him with his knife, following after him, both falling into a creek, where it is thought Lewis cut him several times more. As the two were scuffling in the creek the elder Fish CT hurled big rock at Lewis, which he lodged, and in one big lunge had reached the elder man, piercing his stomach with his knife, inflicting the
 wound that caused the old mans death
 Such was the story told by Lewis, the school teacher, and by the three witnesses. The rock thrown by the old man was brought before the jury and identified as the one hurled by the elder Fisher
 It was proven that the killing was not premeditated by the weapons used in the fight-a knife and several large rocks The knife was a small pocket knife with blade about two inches long.
 The cause of the fight, as gathered from the trial, was disagreement be- tween Lewis and Fishers daughter, who. it is claimed, had told untruths about his management of the school. These stories had been objected to by Lewis and he had branded them pub licly as lies. Mr. Fisher spoke to Lew IS about calling his daughter liar. and later the scholhouse door was found broken down. This act was laid tent with this spring. which is To- cated on the Fisher land but which had been used for years by the neigh borhood, and especially by the school children, was found filled with trasn and rocks. After cleaning the spring several times Lewis complained to Fisher that his sons were poluting the water and asked that they be stopped On Monday, the day of the killing, the school teacher met the two Fishers at the spring Immediately after it had been filled with trash, over which the argument started that ended in the death of the elder Fisher
 Lewis stated that he did not know he had cat the old man seriously and the news of his death came to him as a great surprise Lewis is young man. about 26 years old. He was rep resented at the inquest by his father. Esouirp John M Lewis

NEW YORK, Aug. 1s.-Irergular-
ity was the most conspicuous feature
of today's stock market. Prices rose
and fell alternately, mostly within
narrow range. although some of the
more active features registered sub
stantial gains at the opening The
trading bore evidence of bear pres
sure and general professionalism, al
though close observers expressed the
opinion that stocks are gradually
passing into stronger hands. This
belief appears to be based largely on
the operations of certain prominent
banking and brokerage houses. as
well as on the continued ease of
money, further prospects of good
crops and advices from the leading
railroad centers which almost uni

A.MeyersQui!ts
GOIdfieId for
Good

Al Meyers has shaken the dust of
Goldfied off his feet. and hereafter
will be numbered with the elect of
Los Angeles. The Tribune says:
The last act of Mr.. Meyers career in
the mining camp that brought him
into prominence was to dispose of
his interest in the Commonwealth to
v I. Colburn for the sum of $50, 900.
The sale represented the transfer of
100000 shares, so that the price paid
for the block is approximately 20
cents a share This is considered a
good brice for big block. especially
as it was on "a cash basis. but the
resent discoveries of ore by leasers
on the property are said to justify the
premium.
Al Meyers first began to part with
his Goldfield holdings two years ago,
when he sold 100000 shares TO
Carstairs for 100000. At that time
he was regulated to be worth at least
A cool million dollars. and his friends
supposed he would settle down to en-
Joy life in the luxurious surroundings
of his semi-tropical home on the
coast. But the old Cripple Creek
prospector was not satisfied with any
thing that was offered him by the
Los Angeles real estate agents. and
forthwith instructed an architect to
design the handsome home in south
ern California. When the plans were
accepted 1t was with the single
change that none but gold hinges
should appear in the place to remind
him of his early days in the mines.

coming. and then the bonanza king
was happy. Still, be was not con-
tent with his income. for he made
several forays into the mining
country in quest of excitement and
diversion. On each occasion of the
kind he would drop some of his
holdings until at last he was induced
to part with his Combination Frac-
ton, just prior to the date of the en-
ormous strike that sent the stock
kiting from 43 cents to S1.95. He
was supposed to have received $780,
900 for his holdings. but the facts
can only be established by the seller
and the men who get the stock, and
none of them is anxious TO narrate
the details of the transaction.
Yesterday AL Meyers separated
himself from his pet. Commonwealth,
and thus completely divorced him
self from the gold camp, leaving on
the south-bound train an hour after
the deal was consummated.
Al Meyers was the original loca-
tor of the Mohawk. Combination

He was also interested In the town
site and for many years made his
home at the windmill house on
Second street. between Meyers and

prince of good fellows. and his
friends thought he never could be
happy away from Goldfieid on the
desert.

Developer of the Great Maekey Mine
Believes Present Low Prices
Cannot BE Maintained.

When the price of copper adj
vances, as | think il will, said Frank
Leyland, the man who made the
Maekey mine a success after 1t had
been condemned by dozen experts,
we will resume operations. The
Empire Copper Co., which is the
name under which the Mackey lease
is now known, has plenty of money
in the treasury and we do not feel
like sacrificing our ore at the pres
ent prices.
Mr. Leyland. in connection with
Clarence Mccormick of this city and
William Brevoort of New York,
holds a five year lease on the Maekey
mine at Mackey. Ida. Mr.. Leyland
went to the property with the inten
ton of turning the machinery, which
had been provided at great expense
by the owners. into scrap iron. While
occupied with this work he became
convinced of the value OF the prop
erty which had been deemed fail
ure by dozen different superintend-
ents who had failed to make 1t pay.
After interesting Mr.. Mccormick
and Mrs. Brevoort with him. Mr.. Ley
land secured five year lease on the
property, and inside of one year made
the property pay more than $1,000
900.
Mr.. Leyland states that the prop
erty can be made to pay fully $10.-
900 per month at the present price
of copper, but that he and his asso-
ciates are unwilling to sacrifice the
profits which they feel are bound to
accrue to them with the advance
which they believe will come within
the next six months.
Mr.. Leyland is an old machinery
man and designed the pumping plant
which cleared the Comstock lode to
a depth of 500 feet below the Sutro
tunnel level, and which added mi1-
lions to the output of the Comstock
after il had been universally decided
that the palmy days of tbe great sill
YER camp were over.
Mfr. Leyland Is on his way to
to look over the plant and to
put things In readiness for the shop
ment of ore when the price of cop
per shall have advanced.
