The present season has been a fa‘vorable oue for mining operations, The heavy fall of rain and snow the past winter afforded a sufficient, water supply for the ‘season, ard all the mines have: taken advantage.of it and have taken out large amounts ‘of treasure. We have, heard no complaints from any of the gravel mines in any part of the county. From atthe various banks, it_is evident . The workerthe Methodist @hurch is progressing as rapidly as'%en men ‘can Maké it. The building is'to be = = moved back twenty-five feet. The underpinning has been removed and the rollers are nearly all in place. When that is done the front part will. be immediately commenced upon.

Many new mines have been opened and. others will be, before another-season. The North Bloomfield Company will. 800n have their amine gpened, and if the yield shall ‘bear any comparison to the outlay in opening it, will greatly swell the proceeds of the county next year.

It is “conceded that much of the hoodlumism of the boys.in San Francisco, and other places, result from their attendance:at low places. of atiusement, dance cellars, and gambling saloons. There is a general law of the State prohibiting saloon keepers from allowing boys under twenty-one years f age, from playing games of chance in saloons, and . ity should. be. rigidly enforced, In: San Francisco"the Supervisors have passed an ordivance prvhibiting the selling of liquors to persons under eighteen years of age, andthat ought not-only to be enforced in San Francisco, but elsewhere.

He first shéok the snorer and’ called upon hith to get up and treat ta_the whisky. No response being made, he run his hand into the “sleeper’s’’ pocket and pulled out a "purse. Rogers Started off. hastily, but finding nothirg-in the purse, -soon returned and mide a more deliberate search, and succeeded in obtaining a number of silver half dollars, -which had been carefully marked so that they could be reddily detected. As soon as he had secured the money Rogers fled on the double quick and disappeared on the back street. An immediate effort.was made by’ Cross and others to catch the thief, and for-a while if was thought ‘the fellow leave at half past eleven o’cioe Rogers was discovered and brought Yesterday he was _ brought before dustive Keiser for ~exiiination.

In short they do nothing except to' reserve the right to find fault with ‘all that is done by others. Many parents judge of the proficieney of their children in different studies they: pursue, by the class they. are in, judging that if a boy or girl is placed among older or_further advanced pupils, they must certainly be.doing well. But itis a mistake. Knowing this weakness on the part of parents, ‘teachers frequently promote pupils when they ought not to, ani when the promotion is an absolute injury to the ‘child. Many parents think their children the only smart and intellectual ones that attend the school, butt is a mistake; there are always others who are their equals. Most parentsjudge of the future usefulness of a boy by the proficiency he shows while young, This also is a mistake; some of the ablest men were the dullest pupils. Parents think their Johnny ought to be in the same class as their neigh~bor’s boy of the same age, that he is just as smart, ete, ; but they are. mistaken.
