WHAT ALL SHOULD LEARN.
SUGGESTION hes been maie by Mrs, Maad Ballington Booth that
railway conductors be farnished with chloroform and be authorized
te stupefy persons hopelessly imprisoned in railroad wrecks so that
their ends may be painless, The suggestion has, very natarally, caused adverse criticism, as, if crrried out, it would put into the hande of the ‘conductors the legal right to kill human beings, Bat if the suggestion were so
modified as to propose that condactors and brakemen-be required to take o
course ip elementary surgery or medicine, no objection would be urged.
When the dangers of modern, civilised life are considered, it is surprising
that a course ia first aid to the injured is not made compulsory in the public
schools. It would certainly be more useful than wmany of the courees given
now. Railroad wrecks, elevator scoidents, runaway automobiles, fires, falling
bricks from skyecrapers, live wires and @ host of other accidents are daily
perils. It may fall to any one to be a participant iu ora victim of such an
accident at any time and a knowledge of what to do at the critical moment
might mean the difference between life and death, Yet in case of emergency
not one person in ten is ready. The other nine stand around and let the injured person die while a doctor, is being sought.
It is not possible to give every one a medical knowledge or to make a surgeon of him, but there is an elementary knowledge and a simple surgery that
all may master and that all should be expected to master as a part of their
school training. ~~~ ae paeanciaveners Wat aaa 3

THE STATE TEXT BOOKS.
HE Legislature is wrestling with the text-book problem. Other Legislatures have wrestied in the same way and have been worsted. It is
hoped that the present conflict will ond, more satisfactorily, although
there are grave doubts about it. There is no question as to the need of a
change. The only question is as to what it shall be and how it shall be
‘brought about. The experiment of patronizing home talent hae proved a
complete failnre. The Malifornia State text hooke ake perhaps the poorest in
the United States; “Bducators ate agreed on ills pulot. Awd the cbildren tn
the schools have suffered correspondingly. 1t was thought that the making of
school books was a work requiring about the same skill as the laying of « side, Walk or the digging of a ditch and that a contract could be made with the
same ease. But the results proved this idea incorrect.
California undoubtedly has the talent, but the legislative method of finding it was not successful. Both talent’ and experience are needed in the
making of text books and the combination is not a common one. The possession of knowledge in not.enough The writer must have the ability to properly present his knowledge so that it can be made available to children. ‘The
* larger publiching houses are continually on the watch for such writers and
naturally are more apt to find them, and as a result the sebool booke issued by
private publishers are far superior to the amateurish attempts of the State.
The bill now under diecussion in the Senate, known as the Drew Staje textbook commission bill, is an attempt to alter the present conditions, but unfortanately in the wrong way. There is danger, if it should pass of.a return to
some of the old text-book scandals that led to the adoption of the State text
book idea, It gives too much power into the ‘hands of a few men and sooner
or later these men will be charged, truly or otherwtse, wilb working to the interests of some of the larger book houses. There will be a temptation on both
sides to practice corruption. The present condition of the school book question is bad enough, but it would be mach better to leave it as it is than to
make a change that is not an improvement.
perience during the next eighteen
liems irom Tonopah months a stock boom which will be a
‘ repetition of the famous Oomstock
during its palmy days.
The Reno Journal contained the following interesting items concerning
Tonopah:
As depth is attained in the mines at
Tonopah the ore bodies become larger
and richer. In the Valley View shaft
on the Tonopah Mining Company’s
property, they have developed at the
500 foct level, an ore body 17 feet wide
» of $800 ore, one-third of the values being gold.
é
In sinking vertical shafts in the die\rict fifteen blind ledges have been cat
each carrying bigh values.
Tonopab is the only Nevada district»
in which so many blind ledges have
been encountered in vertical shafts.
_The Obio-Tonopah Oompany “bave
cut, after sloking 500 feet, through the
lave wash, what is believed to be an
exiension of the famous Mizpah
ledgesThe strike proves the theory
that the’ Tonopah ledges extend for
great dietances beyond where they outcrop, and also proves that this belt is:
&t least two miles long and one mile
wide, and that within this belt there is
8 perfect network of leiges.
With the Liberty and Ray mines at
the -north, six producing mines in
./Tonopah, the Hasbrouck, Gold Moan‘tain, Coleban and Klondike mines at
the south, the Paymaster, Alpine and
Cntting at Lone Mountain, and the
newly developed mines at Hanapah,
Tonopah is by no means a one-mine
camp, a8 bas been reported, and is
destined to be the greatest mining district the world has ever known.
With the advent of « railread, for
which afrapchise has been granted,
and surveys are being made, water
Avery rich strike of ore has been
enceuntered at the Hanapab properties, northeast of Tonopah, shich are
being developed by Samuel Newhouse.
A 17-foot ledge of shipping ore has
been struck on the Hasbrouck pr >perty at Gold Mountain, which adjoins
the Lucky Tom and Ooleban properties,
This, of course, proves the Gold
Mountain district to be one which
bids fair to rival Tonopah in the proaction of ore,

the Transcript.Thinking it may be of interest to our
people to read something of the early
history of Nevada county, we intend
publishing from day to’ day extracts
from Bean’s Histery, which was iesued in 1867,
The first Masonic Lodge in Nevada
county was institoted in November,
1850, by a dispensation from the Grand
Lodge of Wisconsin, Jeffrey F. Halsey, Master. This Lodge continued in
existence until ite records and Lodge
room were destroyed by the fire of
March, 1851. A new place of meeting
was provided, and a Grand Lodge having then been instituted in California,
@ charter was procured from that
body-in May, 1851; for Nevada Lodge,
No. 18. On two subsequent occasions,
in Jaly, 1856, and November, 1868, the
records and other property of the
Lodge were destroyed by fire. After
the last disaster a joint stock company was organized under the auspices cf the Lodge f.r the erection of
@ Maeonic Hall, The building was
completed in 1864, at a cost of about
$10,000, the majority of the stock be4og owned by the Lodge and other Masonic bodies of Nevada. Ae showing
the great changes in our population, it
may be remarked, that of seventy-six
members whose names appear on the
roll in 1858, only five are on the roll of
1867; The following gentlemen served
ae Masters sf the Lodges up to that
time:-J.R. Orandel; Joha Re MeGoa=

were as follows: William OC. Randolph,
Master; Edward F, Spence, Senior
Warden; William Van Alstine, Junior
Warden; Addison O, Niles, Treasurer;
Alonzo D. Tower, Secretary; Iseac
Williamson, Marshal.
E. K. Kane Lodge, No. 72, was instituted under a dispensation fromthe}
Grand Master, in January, 1855, anda
charter procured from the Grand
Lodge in the May following. This
Lodge continued in existence four
years, the Masters being Charles.H.

The Bskersfleld Morning Echo of
February 7th last, says: The moving
picture show given here last evening
at Scribner’s opera house by Beaty
Bros. was the best exhibition of the
kind ever held here. The pictares are
thrown on the screen in a steady manner, and the eyes are not blinded by
the vibratory motion of most moving
Pictares, A larce audience was present and they manifested their approval
by lond applause. The subjects of the
pictures take a wide range, from MoKioley’s funeral procession in Buffalo,
New York, to comic views in endless
variety. Several illustrated songs
were algo rendered in good voice by a
good baritone singer. The exhibition
will be given again tonight and it ie
safe to say that there will not be a
vacant eeat in the opera house. There
were very few last night.

“FINAL DECISION,
Argonaut Mine Beats
the Kennedy In Long
Fought Suit.
Adispatch from Washington, D.O.,
states that the United States Supreme
Court has effirmed the judgment of
the California Supreme Court in the
ing Company ve, the Argonaut Mining
Company. The case nominally concerned the ownership of 2604 tons of
gold ore valued at $56099, but in fact
involved the judicial iaterpretat:on of
the.U. 8. mining Jaws, especially the
act of July 26, 1866, which gives a
mining locator the “right to follow -his
vein or lode, with its dips, angles or
variations to any depth, although it
may enter land adjoining.”
Between October and December,
1896, the Kennedy Company extracted
from the verticai boundaries of the
Silva mine, owned by that company,
in Amador county, the ore in question. The Argonaut Company claimed
to have been the owner of the ore because of its ownership of an adjoining
claim within which was a vein of
quartz having its apex there, but dipping out beyond the divergent end
lines of the claim and forming the ore
body ino the Silva claim, from which
the. ore in question was extracted.
The Superior Court of Calaveras county awarded judgment against the
Kennedy Oompany and the Oalifornia
Supreme Court affirmed the judgment
upon appeal. . :
