NEW YORK. May 10.-The United
States Bureau of Education, in the cur
rent issue of its Bulletin, lays before
the public a detailed study of what
school children should eat. The article
was prepared by Caroline L. Hunt on
the request of Elmer Ellsworth Brown,
United States Commissioner of Educa-
ton. In the Speyer School, a primary
school of New York city, set aside as a
practise school for Teachers College
every child from the kindergarten to
the third grade is given a cup of milk
and a graham cracker at half past 10
o'clock. The children first rest for a
few minutes with their heads down on
their desks. A paper napkin Is then
placed on each desk and the milk and
crackers are passed. Another napkin
is given for use by the child. If the
child is able he pays 20 cents a month
for this food, but If unable he is fed

SUPREME COURT REVERSES
TRIAL OF HENRY WEBER

Reno, New, August 1.-The supreme
court of Nevada in an opinion written
by Judge Norcross and concurred in by
the other members, has reversed the
Judgment of the Esmeralda county dis
trict court, and ordered a new trial in
the case of Henry Weber, who was
convicted and sentenced to serve a
period of seven years in the state
prison, on a charge of embezzlement.
The reversal of the Esmeralda county
district court is made on the grounds
that although it might be conceded as
proven that Weber had sold $4,000
worth of Doctor Mining stock in Gold
field, it had not been proven that he
had appropriated the money to his
own use, which is essential to consti-
tute the charge of embezzlement.
In Oliver VS.. Little Florence Mining
company, judgment vas affirmed as
modified to about $3.50 instead of
$25, 0O0..

TECOPA MINING COMPANY
STARTS WORK ON RAILWAY

RHYOLITE, August 5.-The Tecopa
Consolidated Mining company at Te-
copa, in Lower California, has ~purchas-
ed rails, ties ano other materials for
1872 miles of first-class road, connect
ing the property with the Tonopah &
Tidewater at Tecopa junction.
The length of the line will be a lit
tie less han 1872 miles. The grade is
easy and it is estimated that little
rock work will be required. The road
will be completed in four months time
or thereabouts.
1t is the purpose of the company to
ship their ore to Salt Lake smelters. 1t
is announced that at the present time
the company does not contemplate the
erection of its own smelling plant.
There is a world of rich silver ore
developed at the property. There is
absolutely no question as to the quail
fications of this matter for shipping
purposes with the new railroad facil-
ity.

regular amount of development WORK
can be looked for until the arrival and
installation of the new compressor,

time lost during the hull covering the
past two or three months viii be more

YERINGTON, New, August ga
mining deal Of some little Importance,
and one which will soon put another
company to work in this district,
took place a few days ago when John
Chrisman, a mining man and capitalist
of Salt Lake, took a bond on six cop
per claims in the Mason Pass section
of the district owned by A. J. Matt
and Frank and Bill Constantine. The
price to be paid for the property is
$4,000, and the first payment of $500
is to be made on the 18th of August,
the balance in six equal installments,
covering a period of two years. The
purchasers agree to put a force of ten
or twelve men to work Immediately up
on making the first payment and to dc
q certain amount of work in a speci
fed time. It il presumed that the first
work done win be the sinking Of $
shaft to a depth Of several hundred
feet, or to the sulphide zone, to faeil-
itate tho opening up of the ground at
that depth. The property is considered
