Rising at about 8 o'clock’ in the morning, they first take thelr lesson in Chinese litern- ture under tho superintendence of the only tutor who has the title of shih-fu or ‘mnaster”’ The tutor rises from his chair as soon ng tha Imperlal pipils enter and re- ecives from the latter a courtesy (ta-ch'len) which is) then retumed In the same form, The tutor takes the seat of honor, and when the Jesson Js learned tho pupil brings up his book, deposits It before his tenelier, and returns to his scat to repent tho task by heart. Hf the lesson is not learned. tho tutor requests a cunuch in attendance to bring the ferule (ch’ing-pan and makes 0 show of ndministering correctlon, But each Jinperial pupil is accompanied by eight fel- Jow-students (pwan-tub), known in the Man- ehu Innguage as ha-ha-chu, who study the same books us thelr young master, When it becomes necessary to ndmonish the.

A History of the Consolidated Vir- ginia ond California Silver Mines, Tho Greatest Body of Gold and Silver Ore Ever Discovered. Orer One Mondred and Aine Millton Dollars of Bullion Already Produced, Seventy-four Million Dollars Paid in Divi- dends to the Btockholdora. The Present value and Fulura Prospocts of the Bonanza Minos. Epectat Correrpondencs of ‘The Chteago Tribune, SAN Francisco, Feb, 8.—The recent an- nual meeting of the Consolidated Virginia and California Mining Companies, coupled with the sharp rise {n Belcher and other well- known Nevads stocks, has directed publle attention once more prominently to the min- ing Interesta of the Paclfi¢ Const, and, both {n San Francfsco and elsowhere, an unusual Interest is belng taken in everything that per- tains to the Inception and prosecution of min- Ing work. In size and production the body of Silver ore commonly known as the “Big Bonanza” stands with searccly a parallel In tha civilized world. Ilstory lias been searched in vain for a mineral doposit of equal wealth and extent, and the unprece- dented yield of precious metal {s unrlyaled save In rommnce and in the stories of a fairy world, Less than ten years ago the properly went begging for a purchaser. Soine Ilttle work having been done at the surface on a line with Ophir and the outcroppings of Gould & Curry, and no srtlafactory results having been obtalned, the owners of tho various claims were of tho impression that their possessions had fallen Jn the barren portion of the lode. Other mines, like tho Savage and Belcher, had already yielded their immense supplies of mineral wealth; but the future “Big Bonanza” was yet buried deep down in the lower levels of tho earth, and the fame of tha Comstock was then but a slndow of its present self, CONSOMIDATED VIRGINIA, The Consolldated Virginia Company was organized Juno 7% 188% ‘Tho consolidation comprised the territory before Included in the Sldes and White & Murphy claims, Of this possession n part was transferred to the California Company In 1873, and seven- twelfths of one share of California stock was pald to each share at Consolidated Virginia as a stock-dllyldend, Tho first assessment was lovicd In April, 1860, and the last In June, 1873, ‘the total number levied wns fit- teen, ant the amount collected aggregated $438,109,—an amount remarkably small in comparison with that levied upon the stock of other mines. In 1873 tho property came into the hands of the present management, and J. G. Falr, of the Bonanza firn, was elected Superintendent. Work was now conducted on amore systematic and sclen- tlfic scalo; prospecting becama more easy and extended; but for insny months no yery remmunerative results were obtained. Money collected with dificulty was expended with- outany prospect of future roturnos, and heat and barren porphyry svemed to be ever at war with the successful prosecation of the work. Itistruo the eminent Baron Rich- thofen, inan claborato article on the Com- stock vein, had long before predicted the success of the Calor Central, and other well-known claims; but the prospect was ever uninyiting as the work wenton, Tho shaft went lecbor, upratses wero made, drifts were run, stations were excavated, but the erent deposit was still unknown, At last 0 drift was run from the Gould.& Curry shaft through the Best and Belcher ground, and the crest of the great Bonanza wos then lal bare, The pany days of '40 had new a parallel inthe Comstock. ‘Tho news of the strike spread Ike wildfire to California and the Enst, and tho wildest exeltement on the Pueitic Coast prevaitud. Bonanza stock shot up Itkea rocket, and other stocks shared in the general rejoicing, It was a time of gen- eral activity In minitg circles In Nevada, and society was everywhere convulsed at the prospect of enormous wealth. THE EXTENT OF THE ONE-DODY, Tho strike Increased In Importance as pros- eetlng continued, The mine was besieged By mining experts and reporters, and the most exrggerated statements were pubiished and belleved. Mr. Henry Do Groot, ao competent mining engineer and expert, estimated the Bonanza to contain above the 1,000-foot Jovel, by actual exploration, 7,000,- 000 tony of ore, atid tho value of the same was given at not sess than $700,000,000, ‘The tate Mineralogist of Novada, approaching very nearly the truth, ay was afterwards ase certalned, in his blonnial report issued in tho early part of 1875, estimated. that the amount. of ore above the 1,550-foot level was cquiva- Jent to $43,000,000, while below that point the aiount was then Incaleulable, Pro bubly tho. two reports which Bale the widest ere- dence were those of Philp Deldesheliner, a Comstock Mining Superintendent of note, and that of Col, J. G. Fulr, the Superin- tendent of tho ‘imino ftseit, nooB press-interviow, published on the 8th of january, 1875, toan opinion as follows: “I assert that there Js already shown to bo in tho two mines, California and Consolidated Virginia, $1,500,- 000 of ore. Tineke this assertion aud am willlng to stand by It, 1 think that tt will be erfectly sate to say that the ore will average $200 per ton, J have exainlued drifts 10 fect In ore that averaged ton per ton, ag ib was taken out, $500, If should say that Consoll- dated Virginia and California are worth at least $5,000 per share,—that ts, L have no dowbt but that amount of money will be pald outin dividends. 1 have buen mining tyen- ty-four years, or most of my-Iifetime.” ‘The report of Col, Fair, Jssued about the sane thine to the stockholders, bore an oficlal stamp, an the following extract Is appended; “Within the past fear ie main ‘shaft has been extenited to. the 1,500-fout level. ‘This level is now partially explored by crosscuts extending into the orc- body In four different places, each 100 feet apart, The moxt southorly of these cross- cuts shows & with of ore of 153 feot, The remaining crosscuts have not yet crossul the ore-body, all hava penotrated tt over 100 feet, and one over 300 fect. ‘The quailty of the ore ly of very Ih grade, and fur ex- cels In value any over romoved froin the Comstock. The quantity now Sapa to view is almost fabulous, On the 1,550-foot level a drift lias been run the whole length of tho mine, the northern 400 fect of which passes through ore assaying from $200 to $800 erton. ‘Two croascuts have been run on hls level,—one ta the cast and one to the west,-disclosing a width of ora of over 100 feet, and neither east nor west wall hus yot been reached, Below the 1,550-foot level a double winze has been sunk 110 fect, ussing through rich ore, and the bot- om of the winze is now in ore of qual value. to. any yot found, ‘The. groatest quantity of ore extracted has been from the 1,200, },800, and 1,400 foot luvels, Large reserves of ore yet reinain on thea levels, the northern extent having not yet bean reached In any of thein, y anil suuantity of ore developed In the mine the past year far exceed In value that of an nilne which has ever come wider uy knowl- edge or observation,” Taking io above figures asin basis tor tho culoulution, a re- porter of the Sun Francisco Chronicte aftter- wards figured out over $1,000,000,000 as the produet of the Bonanza in Consolidated Vir- glula alone, ora value of $0,800 to each of 103,000 shares in the iniie. NEWSPAPER-REVORTS, Nor wore the reports of the newspapers more accurate thun those of the two experts Just mentioned. Even wilder and more xageerated _. stitements wore ven publicity, Dan a utile, * one of tho best-known journalists In Nevada, estimated that the 1,600-fuot level alone con- tained §230,000,000; while Inthe columns of tha Gold itl News appeared the following: “To attempt w fair description of the rich character of the ore ly almost useless, the sides and face of the drift being ove giltter- Ing ngs of sulphurets mixed with the rich- cat character of chlorides, ‘The extreme richness of the ore often requires tho use of 600 to 800 pounds of quicksilver tog charge fora single pan, when only 200 pounds 1s usod In Sorking the ordinary class of ores. The exhibition sof the preclons metals dis- played in the'faco when a blast of half-a- a: tho former gave expression - The quall-, dozen holes {3 discharged, $s slinply grand, and one that would enuse the eye of a iniser to weep with joy’? The Virgiuin Enter- prise, the leading newaptper on the Com: Block, about tho samo time published the following: “In early days many of our miners were of tha opinion that in the course of thme a point fn the lead would be reached where would bo found almost solid allver, At a further depth of $00 or 0 feet In thelr mine, the Consolle dated Viraiain Company may rench a polnt where their are will luck but ittle of being xolid silver. ‘Thors appears to he dying far down In this portion of the tude a perfect Inountaln of silver ore. Speclmens brought up from tho drift running Into the Gonsoll- dated Virginin from the 1,500-fnot level of the Gould & Curry are even now nlinost solld masses of silver,” That one result could follow the pilin: tlon of thesa reports. ‘The wildest e inent In mining elreles prevallerd. o vember, 1874, the old stock, consiating of (05,- OW shares, had been quoted in the Boards at yartous prices below $100 per share; but during that month there was an ad vines to $175 per share, Farms. were sold, stores were closed, homes wore inortanes, enpital was withdrawn from the varfed Industries of the Const, and invested in Bonanza stock, Dividends be- min to be palc, and were afterwards jn erensed to S10 per shure, Rumors were rife that even triple thitt amount would be pat, Up. went the price te $500, and. stlll the brokers had more orders to buy than sell, Additional reports of additional wealth stilt further inflamed the public mind, and men reckoned thelr wealth, not by their capital in the bank or by the real estate they owned, but by tho nuinber of Bonanza shares thoy held, EXTNAVAGANOR ENGENDERED.
