SCHOOL ACCOMMODATIONS.

In a few days the season for yaca- tions will be over and the doors of the school houses will be thrown open again to the future citizens of the land. Then will come forth from the offices of the school principals great collections of facts and figures as to the attendance now and in the past, the lack of accommodations and the need for the opening of new rooms for which it is impossible to provide teachers this year; the fact that thera has been an appropriation available for so long for just the number of rooms needed but that, owing to lack of a site, or political filibustering. or some other excuse, the children must get along as best they can with what they had last year and several years before that. It is the old story that comes out year after year in the cit ieS of the east and which year after year is commented on by press and pulpit and teacher and parent, and which, year after year, seems to have just as much excuse as ever
 This school question should be more deeply considered by the public and the politician. Laws are made to school, yet the most discouraging receptions mar the opening day of the school year for many children and after being shifted from school to school, or room to room for two weeks the child's spirit and enthusi- asm for the work is considerably les sened Here in Waterbury par ticularly aggravating school board has contributed generously to the cause of complaint throughout the country. but there is plenty of foundation for the criticism all over New England that too little attention is paid to the needs of the schools by the towns people generally. Hence the chronic lack of accommodations in every growing community.

BIG MINING CASE
FINALLY SETTLED

The Supreme Court Saturday last
handed down an opinion in the ia
nous Silver Peak litigation. reversing
the judgment OF the trial court. whicn
had dccrecd that B. A. Gamble. f. s.
Chadbourn and the heirs of ]. b.
Wright were entitled to enter into
possession OF the property for the
purpose OF determining whether they
would exercise right to purchase
eleven fiftcenths OF the property un-
der the provisions OF an option given
by the Silver Peak mines to J. l..
Hanchett on September 7, 1895. and
which. with an extension, expired
August |. 1896
1t was the contention of the plain
tiffs, Gamble and Chadbourn, that
Hanchett was but the agent of a part
nership which existed between Gam
BILE, Chadbourn and J. B. Wright, and
that he took the option in his name
for the benefit OF such partnership
and afterwards claimed it exclusively
for himself
The case just decided was insti-
tutcd by Gamble in May, 1896, few
months before the extension of the
Hanchett option expired. The case
has been in the State and Federal
courts ever since.
Chadbourn was originally made a
defendant but i'll an amended COM
plant filed three years after the suit
was instituted. became a plaintiff in
action. Four years later the action
was removed from Esmcralda county
to Washoe county. and then was re-
moved to the United States circuit
court. and then again remanded TO the
District Court of Washoe county
when third amended complaint was
filed. bringing in as parties the pres
ent owners OF the property as the
heirs OF John l. Blair.
The opinion OF the court was writ
ten by Norcross, J.. and is one of the
largest ever rendered by the court
The record in the case comprised over
5000 printed and typewriter pages,
included in nine volumes.
Probably more valuable property
interests were involved in this case
than in any other that has been in
the courts of this State for many
years.
II ,-aI,,aLI..
the Silver Peak property ought to be
a big one. for this property has been
in the State and Federal Courts as far
back as the oldest inhabitants can
remember.
Sam Platt. Of Carson City. with
Rush Taggart. Clarence b. Mitchell
and George a. Bartlett were the at
torneys for the acknowledgement
lants. while J w. Dorsey and r. NJ
+. Soto were the attorneys for the
titfs-respondents.
Thus ends one OF the greatest min
ing cases ever tried i'll the State with
an estimated sum OF ten million dol
lars involved. The case has been in
the courts for over fifteen years and
the transcript and documents that
have accumulated. consist of twelve
volumes of some FIVE thousand print
ed and type written pages. and hund-
reds OF pages OF typewriter briefs.
The case has been one of the NEST
bitterly contested ever tried in the
mining field
