A full course iu the Boston Lattin School comprises six ycurs; but the boys of San Traneiseo are expected to do a littl: better than the Boston boys. This school is under the management of Mr. George M. Bunnell, as Principal, and Mr. W.K. Rowell us Assistant. During the past Mterin of five mouths it has uumbered sixtytliree pupils. Of this number, fourteen have attained the first grade on the Roll of Honer, aud four the second grade. Mixes ano Muixine Marrens 1x Conongss. The telegraph of June 16th states that Senator Conness, from the Committee on Mines and Mining, has reported a substitute for Mr. Shermatt’s bili to regulate the oceupation of mineral Jands, and to extend the right of pre-emption thereto, of which substitute the Committee say in their report: “By this bill it is only promised to dispose of the inines, and 10 provide for the segregatioa of agricultural lands lying within mineral regions. The proposition is to transfer the title to possessors at rcasonable rates, and as part of that rate to secure the payinent at three per cent. of the anoual net proceeds into the United States 'I'reasury, until the National debt shall lave been paid; and “this percentage is to be in lieu of all tax imposed upon the bullion at the o1ints and assay offices under existing laws. It is not proposed to interfere with or impose any tax on miners engaged iu working. placer miues, as these nities are readily exhausted and net generally remuncrative; and another feuture of the substitute is that it admits of rules and regulations of the miners, where the same arc pot in conflict with the laws of the United States.” Mr. Julian, from the House Conmitto on Pubtic Lands. has submitted an claborate report on the sale of mincral lands, to accompany the amended bill recently reported by him in the House. ‘Ibe report argues that the policy of preservation bas proved a most signal failure, and illustrates by quoting from a late report of the Nevada Senate, showing tlic utter want of uniformity and the confusion worse confounded whieh prevails, growing out of the uncertainty of titles. The report advocates vesting the fee in miners to the extent of lorty acres to each person, and the bill reported expressly anthorizes departures from the rectaugular system of survey when necessary, and the adoption of boundaries rgreed upon by minting occupants. A. D. Brows, of Virginia City, sends us samples of Kaoline, nativo and manufactured from au extensive deposit of that material, which has recently been found near that place. .
