i EXAMINATION OF THE Hien ScHooL. more properly, review of studies in the 7 aaieest B JUNE r 1969. _prospecting at Relief Hill for the gravel . ~ chansel,which passes through the ridge, , with various success, many of the com-_ panies at work being hampered by the . want of egpital to push forward their works. They have worried on, however, and we are glad t}) know that they now have fair promise of success. The North Star ground is worked by the Euréka Lake Co. and they are doing well. The Waksshore Co. employs twelve men, being now engaged in drifting, and the claifm has been for some time averaging $12 per day to the man. ‘This company has -strack the channel, and isin feet further than any other company. The Eagle claims are prospectively among the best in the State. They have 100 feet fall, and are within sixty oreighty feet of the pay’ channel, which when they reach, will yield them large retarns. They will commence washing this Fall and run --their tunnel up to the bank, thas obtaining full advantage of the fall, which they never had before. These claims join the Wakashore ground. The Union tlaim,-owned by Reasoner & Bro. is also a good mine. They are now hy~ draulicing and drifting, obtaining favorable results. When the Eagle Co. strike the dirt, other claims will be started, and there is every prospect that Relief Hill will become -a lively campA gentleman who furnished us with these items has no interest whatever in these mines, but he regards, the channel at this place as one of the best for the development of" paying: mines in the State, and expects that in time the’ mines will rival those of Smartsville in richness. This channel is undoubtedly a part _of the great subterranean river system of California, which has béen more thoroughly developed in Nevada county than anywhere else. ‘These channels for the most part ran ina transverse direction under the present streams: and the extent of their beds show them to have been much more extensive than the streams now existing in this county. The channels vary in width from one hundred tofive hundred feet, and in places widen out into basins, the bottoms of which have never been . reached, Some of these channels follow the general direction of present streams, and some claim that they are the main branches, while the transverse beds are side. washes. Relicf Hil! is supposed to cover one of these branches, and the prospecting thus far demonstrates that. the theory is correct. The town is located about three miles from North Bloomfield and in the vi‘cinity there are now, sbout 100. men employed, all of them men of enter‘prise. The citizens raised $1,000 to put through a road from the ‘Hill to Eureka, which will be completed in ‘about four weeks,.when it is expected that English & Wells’ stage will ron by that place. Heavy freighting will go by way of Snow Tent in order to take advantage of the grade. The public school, numbering twenty-five pupils, is m&king fine progress unter the ‘ tuition of Miss Flora Cornell, and Relief Hill has a church such as few vilThe pullages of its size can boast of. pit is oecupied every Sunday by Rev. Mr. Walters of. the M. E. Church, and the. congregation is probably larger than any other in the State,-compared with the population of the town. DesTRucTION oF SiLK Worms.,-W. M.

In History the B class, numbering 50 pupils, and the A class, namber‘ing ten, were examined. Questions and the pupils all msc ae of “ ‘antionsl history. The Algebra gone as far as equation of the first degree. Their answers showed them well acquainted with the elementary principles of the study. The'classes B and C in Arithmetic number 25 each, and the A class numbers ten. The ‘examinations in Arithmetic were exceedingly interesting, the pupils answering questions out of the range of the every day recitations almost as readily as they solved questions from the book. The following is a problem which was solv ed by Master Kitts, that -wouidpuzzle a good number of grown_people+—‘What} are the contents, board measure, of a stick of timber 8x8 inches at the base, 5x4 inches at the top, and 24 feet long.” His answer was correct within a frac~ tion. Other pupils, less advanced; showed equal familiarity with the principles involved in what they had studied, On account of the brief time allowed however, the examinations were hardly satisfactory as @he pupils, in so short a time could not do justice to themselves: They have not been in the new school house. sufficient time to have accomplished much, but at theendof the next school year the Trustees propose to devote more time and make the examinations thorough. In the afternoon the rhetorical exercises of the Grammar and High Schools took place at Assembly Hall. A large number of visitors were present,and the seholars did well in composition and dectamation. In the” reading as well as the matter of the compositions Miss Mollie B. Hinds, Miss Katie Hurley and Miss Allie Davenport of the High School deserve especial mention. In declamation,Master James Gray, Albert Lancaster and John Shurtleff, also of the High School, acquitted themselves with credit.At the conclusion of exercises the following pupils were called forward and‘ presented each with a neat certificate of the fact that they were entitled to a place on the the monthly Roll of Honor for the ens tireterm. ‘The figures.after each name denote the relative standing of deport~ ment and scholarship, marked on the scale of onc hundred: Misses—Annie Gregory, 97; Katie Hurly, 97; Sarah Cashin, 97; Mary Gregory, 97; Flora Holbrook, 96; Allie Davenport, 94; Mollie’ Hinds, 94; Jane )Mastérs—Charles” Kitts, Hebbard, 98; J.

TrE Examiner of the 23d is much exercised because tfiere is a disposition on the part of Californians without distinction of pasty to receive Seward in thé manner due to an eminent statesman. It overhauls his record in the Senate, and especially tries to make a pointon his voting for the right of petition. In one of our exchanges from the East.we read am account of a of his pleasant reception by all parties, in token of buried differences. The local Republican papers commend this conduct. If they ran in as narrow a guage as the Hraminer they would have’ ffublished warnings against the recognition of a man who had violated an oath of allegiance to the Governmhent.and promoted a desolating war against'the Union. Such advisers as the Hxaminer are unhappy when they can not breed mischief. They are the scum. that-has been deposited by the subsiding tide of sectional hatred, and show theif offensive origin -by their odor. Sis Ean on ata UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT To BREAK JAit.—The Marysville Appeal says: Three prisoners in the county jail, two awating trial for crimes that'will be
likely to send them to San Quentin, viz: Mansfield, for rebbing Wells Fargo & . Co's office : Padro. Vase,, for stealing Mr. . Jory's horse ; and M. W. Shuster, await~ ing action of the Grand Jury on charge ted in well laid plans for breaking jail. The facts we learn are about as follows: About two weeks ago, during the warm weather, all the prisoners ‘complained to Deputy Sheriff Casad of the heat, and requested that they might be al lowed to leave their cells and occupy the halls from 1 o’clock. till 6 o'clock P. M. ‘The request was granted under a pledge that they would make no ats tempts to break jail, and was informed by Casad if they did he would’ catch them at it. Casad when consenting that they might go out wasaware that they had to be watched, and on doing so caught Mansfield the second day out window. He said nothing but kept a rigid watch for four days, when it was apparent that the bar was about ready to come out and that while Mansfield was working the bar Casad stepped into sight and asked : ‘‘ Mansfield, do you think you can get that bar out’, The prisoner was struck dumb at this surprise, and stood for several minutes “Well, youtsaid you woald be with us when we went out.” The prisoners were thus frustrated i in theirwell. laid plans for esCape, and have since bean confined to their cells THERE are 84,905 ni names on the Grea Register in San Francisco city and county. ed him down, amused themselves by class, just commencing the Stady, have t turning out ~the gas, breaking the > By the way, wouldn't it be well for} of embezzlement, were lately frustraworking to remove g@ bar in the rear. without speaking, and at length said— . ¢ 42 3 BY TELEGRAPH. —_—ro THE —* TRANSCRIPT.

MininG AFFAIRS.—The Grass Valley Unionsays: There was a rumor a few days since that the Miners’ Union had backed down from its position of hostilities tothe giant powder, and would now go entirely against Chinese labor in the mites. The rumor was false and the strikers remain firm as ever against the giant. As to Chinese labor, no one las proposed to-intrdduce that into the mines, and hence there is, no truth in the reputed new position of the miners. The Superintendents of the idle mines, Empire and North Star, are in San Francisco, and we understand they are determining upon some method of goimg'to’work at an early day, It is probable that in the. first’ part of next week we shall know what is to be and the Idaho, matters move on in the old quiet way, and both mines will surely pay their regular dividends at the first of next month. Business here. is dull because the strikes continues; but the streets are not so full of idle men as they were formerly of idle men. Some have gone to work here, under contracts, perhaps, and others have sought other fields of labor. Without being very bright, we regard the prospects ofan early commencement of active mining as hopeful.° A Rich MiIneE.—We are informed by a gentleman from the upper country, that while in Camptonville-last week, he saw, at the Bank of J. P. Brown & Co., the proceeds of the Eureka quartz crushing only day times, about 6060unces of gold, valued at $10,000. He was informed that theirclean up was $6,000 from five days washing. While at work during their last run they took out one Spegimen valued at over $1, 500, The fortunate owners of this mine are most of them citizens of Camptonville— five in all. So says the Appeal.
