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.

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

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,

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

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

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

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.
