An apt illustration is found. in the words “chute” and “shoot.” In most of the mining items published in the newspapers the word “chute” is generally misused, being applied to a body or ledge of ore in a mine. There are “chutes’ and “shoots” in quartz mines. A “chute” is an inclined passage down which quartz dirt, timbers, ete, are slid. A “shoot is the ledge matter as it stands in the mine before being removed, the term literally meaning a branch or shoot from the original ledge, like a shoot: from a tree.

School Superintendent Rogers has ' gone to Oakiand to attend the Bennial . Convention of County School Superintendents of State Schools. : Some nessary changes in the present school laws will be discussed. The government of city schools will be one of the main topics for discussion It is understood that many of the Superintendents are opposed to the present method of electing school directors. They believe that the results would be more satisfactory if the school directors were elected: for jong and short terms which would prevent a complete change, which often follows a city election. se One of the important matters to be discussed will be a system of uniform requirements from candidates for teachers’ certificates. 26 A proposition will be also submitted to fix the minimum age of pupils at six years instead of five years, A strenuous efforts will be made to revise the statutes affecting the schools itis understood that State Superinténdent Black favors a State School Law Commission for that purpose composed of prominent educators.

Recently a couple of expeditions have started from San Francisco to unearth two deposits of treasure as rich and mysterious as the lont mines of the Aztecs, One, a party of easterners, has gone to San Miguel island, off Santa Barbara, to ind the-chests of Spanish doubloons which, according to tradition, were lost there years ago in the wreck of a Spanish bark. The surv:vors secured their gold and buried it in a cave close to the historis spot. where Cabrillo landed and afterward, going to the mainland, were slain by the Indians. The second expedition, which is backcd by a hotelkeeper in Stockton, makes Cocos island, cff the coast of Centra] America, its abjective point. Cocos island was once the resort of pirates and on it, the tale vzoes, some of the buccaneers buried their riches. The Stockton hotelkeeper and his associates have gone to work in a businesslike way. They have secured a concession from the Nicaraguan government to farm the island for a number of years and-have imported a number of Germans who, if the treasur2 does not turn up, will get what they can out of the land by growing coffee. So far their search has been unsuccessful, the directions on the chart which locates the pirates’ hoard having led to nothing. sd Effective Cail. A traveling man put up for the night at the leading hotel in a small town, and before retiring left explicit instructions to be called in time for an early train. He was very earnest about the matter, and threatened the clerk with all manner of punishment if that duty was neglected. Early in the morning the guest was disturbed by a lively {attoo upon the door. “Well?” he demanded, sleepily. “I've got an important message for you,” replied the bellboy. The guest was up in an instant, opened the door and received from the boy a large envelope. He tore open the envelope hastily, and inside found a slip of paper on which was written in large letters: “Why don’t you get up?” He got up. pol RC neinres ern Sere Greater Ediabuargh.

School Superintendent Rogers has ' gone to Oakiand to attend the Bennial . Convention of County School Superintendents of State Schools. : Some nessary changes in the present school laws will be discussed. The government of city schools will be one of the main topics for discussion It is understood that many of the Superintendents are opposed to the present method of electing school directors. They believe that the results would be more satisfactory if the school directors were elected: for jong and short terms which would prevent a complete change, which often follows a city election. se One of the important matters to be discussed will be a system of uniform requirements from candidates for teachers’ certificates. 26 A proposition will be also submitted to fix the minimum age of pupils at six years instead of five years, A strenuous efforts will be made to revise the statutes affecting the schools itis understood that State Superinténdent Black favors a State School Law Commission for that purpose composed of prominent educators.

Recently a couple of expeditions have started from San Francisco to unearth two deposits of treasure as rich and mysterious as the lont mines of the Aztecs, One, a party of easterners, has gone to San Miguel island, off Santa Barbara, to ind the-chests of Spanish doubloons which, according to tradition, were lost there years ago in the wreck of a Spanish bark. The surv:vors secured their gold and buried it in a cave close to the historis spot. where Cabrillo landed and afterward, going to the mainland, were slain by the Indians. The second expedition, which is backcd by a hotelkeeper in Stockton, makes Cocos island, cff the coast of Centra] America, its abjective point. Cocos island was once the resort of pirates and on it, the tale vzoes, some of the buccaneers buried their riches. The Stockton hotelkeeper and his associates have gone to work in a businesslike way. They have secured a concession from the Nicaraguan government to farm the island for a number of years and-have imported a number of Germans who, if the treasur2 does not turn up, will get what they can out of the land by growing coffee. So far their search has been unsuccessful, the directions on the chart which locates the pirates’ hoard having led to nothing. sd Effective Cail. A traveling man put up for the night at the leading hotel in a small town, and before retiring left explicit instructions to be called in time for an early train.

Early in the morning the guest was disturbed by a lively {attoo upon the door. “Well?” he demanded, sleepily. “I've got an important message for you,” replied the bellboy. The guest was up in an instant, opened the door and received from the boy a large envelope. He tore open the envelope hastily, and inside found a slip of paper on which was written in large letters: “Why don’t you get up?” He got up. pol RC neinres ern Sere Greater Ediabuargh.
