THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1895. BOARD OF EDUCATION, Transfers of Teachers Are Practically Agreed Upon. MOULDER AND THE DEFICIT. than the amount named by the Auditor. I expected that the Committee on Salaries would submit the customary schedule fix- ing the salaries of the teac{ers this even- ing, and I prepared this statement, which I intended to make in connection with the | discussion of that report. “The Auditor estimates that the City’s share of the State School fund will be $600,000. The school tases for the year at the rate levied by the Supervisors will amount to $390,000. From other sources, | chiefly rentals of school lots, we get $10,800 | annually. These sums will aggregate a | trifle_over the $1,000,000 allowed in the estimate. Now, I contend that the deficit, | if deficit there be, is $7000 instead of $35,000. He Has Facts and Figures to Oppose a Reduction In Salarles. The question of teachers’ salaries did not have a full hearing at yesterday’s meeting | of the Board of Education, for the reason that Messrs. Clinton, Carew and Stone, constituting the standing committee on this subject, failed to submit a schedule report, and asked for further time. Incident- ally the matter came up in the discussion of other subjects, but nothing like a general expression of opinion as to the necessit; of the threatened reduction was given. Speaking on the adoption of the Finance Committee report Dr. Clinton said that in his opinion some scheme could be devised whereby salaries could be maintained at the present figures. Superintendent Moulder announced that he had discovered a method by which about $28,000 would be realized in excess of the stated allowance, which, it is claimed, will show a deficit of some $35,000 at the end of the fiscal year if the present rate of expenditure ed to. Mr. Moulder says that the assumption is reasonable that the State apportionment to San Francisco will be $§17,600 in excess of the amount given in the Auditor’s state- ment. Second that the Lincoln school 3 per cent more than here- in ten months of about total of $28,000. ndent was not invited to his plan, as outhned above, for inds, and there seemed a disposi tion on the part of the Directors to avoid the subject altogether. It will be consid- ered at a future meeting. he report of the Finance Committee recommended the following apportion- f funds for the fiscal year: $ 860,000 00 48,000 00 200 00 200 00 6, 3,000 00 200 00 4, 20,000 00 80,000 00 000 00 29.732 71 Total amount, subject to the provi- sions of the one-twelfth act.......$1,013,832 71 al 11 provements and favoratory app: 851,600 00 ...........51,064,932 T1 vear 18 appropria- ¥ Board 0f Supervisors s from fiscal year 1894-95. i Lincoln School s, from Sep- Dr. Clinton moved to lay the F Committee’s report over for one week in the m~antime to make some readjust- ment of the funds, with reference to the ary question. The motion was lost and the report adopted as read. The Committee on Classification submit- i a lengthy report in which a number of ers and promotions among the chers were recommended. Among the report asked that Mary Magner nsferred as pri pal of the Sutro he Ha: n Primary in the ; t Louise McElroy, nt teacher at the Hawthorne given the vacant place. Now s the daughter of Director himself a member of tne Classifi- cation Committee making the recommen- dation, and sp\'emi members of the board strenuously objectéd to the appointment. Dr. Clinton wanted to see the place oc- cupied by one of the older teachers. He could not see the justice in allowing a very voung lady of limited experience to be pro- moted over many worthy applicants who were fairly entitled to the place by reason of long and faithful service. He held that such a system of promotion as that in- cluded the report was discouraging to teachers and detrimental to the service generally. Director Carew also thought that it was time to eliminate politics and pulls in the matter of promotion. The report was finally adopted, and then Dr. Clinton got on his feet, and, in a tem- pestuous mood, gave notice that at the next meeting he would move to recon- sider. A report from the Committee on Salaries was adopted without debate. It Tmndm for the readjustment of the salaries of about a dozen persons—teachers and jan- itresses. In some cases the pay in- creased slightly, and in others decreased. The Superintendent wanted to amend the rule relating to qualifications of teachers by making eligible all those who hold first grade certificates with two years’ successful experience. The amendment was lost. Directors Henderson and Barrett had a tiff over the removal of the janitress of Laguna Honda school. Henderson asked for her removal, giving as his reason that she lived in a saloon. Barrett denied this, and the matter went over. S A petition from Miss Jessie King, asking for salary from July, 1894, to July, 1895, | during which time she was under suspen- slon for incompetency, was referred to the Judiciary Committee. One of the important transfer of teach- ers recommended was that of R. D. Faulk- ner from the Potrero to the Franklin Grammar School. The principalship of the latter, since the transfer ot J. G. Kennedy to_the Normal School. has been in special demand and many candidates have been named as likely to gain the position. o R. D. Faulkner, the new grmcxpal of Franklin Grammar School, has already made a reputation for himself in this Cit; Less than ten years ago he arrived a grad- uate from the University of Illinois and has served as vice-principal of the Lincoln | Grammar, acting principal of the Horace Mann Grammar and principal of the Potrero Grammar School. In the latter position he made many marked improve- nents, especially along the lines of tech- nical instruction, which he will be enabled to follow out at the Franklin. Miss Harriet M. Fairchild, who was tem- porarily suspend nd then given the La- fayette school principalship, will tak= Mr. Faulkner’s place at the Potrero Grammer School. 3 ‘Another transfer of interest is that of Miss Earle, vice-principal of the Clement Grammer School, to be principal of the new Haight-street school. R TSR G MOULDER ON THE DEFICIT. The Superintendent of Schools Sees No Necessity for a Reduc- tlon in Salaries. «What do I think of the proposed plan to reduce the salaries of the teachers?” re- peated Superintendent A.J. Moulder last evening. “I have been busy to-day on these computations, which show whatI think.” Mr. Moulder produced, a formidable array of figures, saying that they repre- sented his investigations, made yesterday, in regard to the deficit. “The Auditor’s estimate puts the amount for expenditure by the City schools for this fiscal year at $1,000,000. His recommendations may or may not be adopted by the Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors, but in this instance thev were adopted. The expenses for the school year will aggregate $35,000 more | “Last year,” said Mr. Moulder, ‘‘the | Auditor estimated our portion of the State hool fund at $600,000. It proved to be 16,877 90, 1n round numbers $17,000 more I claim | 2 | than was estimated as our share. | that there is every probability that we | will receive an equal amount above what is estimated this year. Thus we may | count upon the alleged deficit being re- duced by that means from $35000 to $18,000. | _*‘Now for a further reduction of that de- | ficit. There are eleven lots of twenty-five feet frontage on Market and Fifth streets longing to the school property of the | City. They have been leased for twenty | years, the last five of which the monthly rental Has been $3190. That rental was fixed twenty years ago, and the lease will expire in September. Advertisements will scon | be made fora new lease, and considering the increased value of the property, which has come and will come with the erection |of five magnificent business buildings | within two blocks, there is no doubt but | that tha rental of the lots will be in- | creased. | “Real estate agents estimate that in- | crease variously, their figures ranging from | 25 per cent to 100 per cent. Choosing the conservative rate of 3314 per cent of increase I calculated upon an increase of one-third | over the present rental. That wouid be | $1063 a month, and $10,630, or nearly $11,- | 000 during the ten months ending. with the close of the schools on June 30. That | sum added to the $17,000, which is the | probable overplus of the State fund above what istimated, makes a total of $28,000, assuming that there are no other sources | from which to make up that deficit. { . “Tknow from my experience with them in past times, when there was a threatened {'deficit, which has occurred a half-dozen | times during my four years' service as Su- perintendent of ( schools, that the teachers will willingly teach a month at reduced salaries, or even for nothing, | rather than haye their salaries reduced. | Itis a wise policy on their part, too, for | they know that if a reduction is once made it will be hard to get saleries back to their | old status. | “But I believe there will be no occasion for such a sacrifice on their part. There is a strong probability that the increase over the past rental of the Market and Fifth street lots will amount to more than one- third. It would not takea much higher per cent of that value to make up the | remaining §7000. I believe, however, that | our pro rata of the back railroad taxes to | be paid this year will go far toward | making it up.” Another source to be re- lied upon is the tax on bequests which is required by the recently enacted law and which was first complied with in the pay- ment of the tax on the Wilmerding estate, made on Tuesday. “Takingallthis into consideration I claim that at the worst there is only a $7000 de- ficit, and that can be made up by a 10 per cent reduction in the June salaries. The monthly payroll amounts to $74,000, and you can see that that can be easily accom- plished.” The Anti-Bloomer Dog. 8. Korper, the owner of the anti-bloomer dog, again appeared in Judge Conlan’s court yester- day without the dog. He declared that the animal did not belong to him, but the Judge insisted that he knew where the dog could be found and gave him until Saturday to produce it in_court. If not produced, the Judge inti- mated he would inflict the severest penalty. Lt ool e Convicted of Vagrancy. James Kelley, a well-known petty thief, ap- peared in Judge Joachimsen’s court yesterday to answer to the charge of yagrancy. It was stated that he was the friend of Katie Kelley, & woman who committed suicide about & week ago and who left a letter that she had been driven to it by Kelley's continued abuse. The ge sentenced him to six months in the County Jail. e HOTEL ARRIVALS. GRAND HOTEL. Mrs T Turner.

The Half-Million Club’s Letter to the Interior Press. A short session of the executive com- mittee of the Halfm-illion Club was held yesterday and it was decided to send cir- cular letters to the editors of all the news- papers in the State, explaining the aims and objects of the club; also to invite the co-operation of the editors in improving the condition of the State. This step was taken because the entire press of the State is not fuily informed as to what the club desires to accomplish. A letter from Secretary Filcher of the State Board of, Trade was read, in which it was stated that notwithstanding all of the counties have not appropriated any money toward defraying the expenses of sending a California exhibit to the Atlanta Expo- sition the Board of Trade is going ahead in this direction. If there is money enough the board will stand the expenses of the illustrated lec- tures, but 1f not the Half-million Club is requested to take up the matter and carry it through to success. This feature has been practically in the hands of the club, which has offered to provide nearly all the stereopticon slides. SOUTHERN PACIFIC FROST. A Little Comedy on the Ferry Which Did Not Enrich the Company. Amateur Musicians Who Were Ap- preciated by All Except Gum~ Boys and Deckhands. An amusing, although for the chief ac- tors not a particularly joyous, little com- edy was enacted on the 4:30 broad-gauge boat from Oakland yesterday. The macaroni band has notbeen in evi- dence for some time past, and was not yes- terday. The boat was crowded, a good headway was on and the lemon-drop boys had started in on their missile-flinging- round of the decks, when four children carrying musical-instrument cases and music-stands appeared. They made the round of the deck, seeking a sheltered spot, but the wind was blowing pretty fresh, and they finally took refuge in the saloon. They were pretty children, all girls, English evidently, with faultless Trilby profiles and fresh*English complex- jons. The eldest might have been 16, the youngest could not have been more than 8. They set up their stands, arranged their music, opened their cases and took out the instruments—two violins, a cornet and a French horn.” There was a minute of preliminary tuning and then they began to play, tim- idly at first, then, gaining courage, with more emphasis and’ verve. The news spread through the boat; the passengers thronged in until the saloon was crowded. The gumdrop boys, their occupations gone, leaned against the door-jamby and lis- tened. Everybody was enjoying the novel concert. : But avparently something was up. Pres- ently, in every doorway, ap‘yeared a deck- hand, first, second and "third; they gath- ered, from the chief bugaree to the hum- blest swabber. They consulted together and began to grow big and portenious with prophecy of ccmin§ storm. When the boat had passed Goat Island and was nearing the San Francisco side the concert came to an end, and the two younger chil- dren, caps in hand, began to circulate in quest of stray nickels. The passengers were in generous mood, but not more than two or three coins had fallen into the caps when the storm burst. One uniformed officer taptured each of the little cap-bear- ers while others addressed the violinists. There were hurried whispers, expostula- tory gestures and two very red-cheeked maidens sank back in their respective cor- ners, while two decidedly subdued little girls fled to them for refuge. The passen- gers, nickels in hand, waited for an oppor- tunity to bestow them, but none offered. Finally one lady beckoned to the little cornet-player to come forward and make collections, but a wary deckhand waved her back, and then explained to the lady that under no circumstances could they allow the audacious children to collecta nickel. The lemon-drop boys grinned, and one of them, resting his hand affectionately upon the shoulder of the stern deckhand, wandered with him down the saloon. The passengers began to grasp the situa- tion. A young man came forward and dropped - dime into one drooping cap. That was the signal, and in a momenta string of commuters was filing down the saloon and dimes and nickels were dropped fast and furious into those waiting caps. Of course the offi- cers could not interfere. The travelers had as much right to toss nickels in the children’s laps as the lemon-drop boys have to toss questionable confections from unquestionably dirty hands into the faces of those same travelers. But it went hard to see the silyer drop and to know that no ercentage of it would, in all fipmbability. gow into the Southern Pacific’s coffers. The officers looked sad and the lemon-drop boys wandered disconsolately out upon the deck, and not a single passenger received another tissue-papered insult that trip. *‘We did not mean any harm,” the old- est girl sald in answer to a query. “We thought we could make a little money, but they tell us it is not allowed.” RIVAL SOCIETIES QUARREL They May Ask the Courts to Settle the Affair, The California State branch of the Chi- cago National Children’s Home Society, which has its headquarters in Los Angeles, and the International Children’s Home Society, which is also a branch of another charitable institution which originated in Chicago, are having an interesting war of words. Rev. W. H. Brayton of San Jose, who was one of the members of the National society, tendered his reslfnntion last Sep- tember. It was promvtly accepted and nothing more was thought of the action until n%ew weeks ago, when it was learned that Brayton had made arrangements with the international institution fo establish a branch in this State, with the object of running opposition to the Los Angeles home, and a friend of Brayton’s, Rev. J. W. Daniels of Sacramento, also severed his connection with the home society and joined the international. The former society, fearing that the lat- ter would encroach too far upon its field, })rommly issued circulars {o the press, say- n% that as Messrs. Brayton and Danie bad severed their connection with the Children’s Home Society of California their glaees would be speedily filled with other persons and any persons using corporate title which was an infringement of ‘the rights of the home corporation would be immediately prosecuted, as the Children’s Home Society was incorporated under the laws of this State. Rey. Mr. Mchfiry says that Rev. Mr. Brayton resigned because he expected an appointment in the northern district and was defeated. —_——————— Held for Robbery. Robert Morrissey, alias Billy Cahill, ore of the two men who held up Frank Jovica, & restaurant-keeper at 1434 Turk street, and Mrs. Leventhal, corner of Ellis and Scott eets, & few nights ago, was yesterday held to ‘n:n-vivar bdotno“;l‘: suvem!n ngert hl{: Judse ‘onlan on twi arges of T bonds on each charge. e e v, @md Jacob H. Neff, president of the California Miner’s Association, and William C. Rals- ton, secretary of the same organization, will both leave for the East on Monday next. The big smelter for the Iron Mountain mine, Shasta County, is to be erected on the Skillen place,a couple of miles from Shasta. The site is now being graded. The mineral paint works near Healds- burg is now milling six tons per day with its new stamp mill. Forest City, Sterra County, is the center of one of the richest gravel deposits in the State. These are the Bald Mountan, North Fork, South Fork, Ruby, Wisconsin, Bald Mountain extension and many other good gravel claims. Work is rapidly progressing on the Bar- ker Flat cyanide plant at Bodie. The old Browns Valley mines in Yuba County, from which millions were taken years ago, are being once more looked into by mining men. The Yreka Journal says that the water supply in that region for hydraulic mining is geuing short owing to continued hot and dry weather. The miners are now along the bedrock with its so as to finish before the small streams are completely cleaning-u light supprl) ditches an: dry. Leadville, Colo., is now turning out about 1000 tons of ore per day. James McHaney’s Desert Queen mine yielded him recently §4416 in four ‘days’ run with a five-stamp mill. An increased force of men has been put on at the Rush Creek granite quarry of Marlerson Bros. Several carloads are be- ing shipped to Redding. At Minersville, Trinity County, in ad- dition to the property now operating under the auspices of the French company, there are other properties whick, in all proga- bility, will sooner or later be worked on a larger scale. Some men have filed on 1400 acres of coal land along the north folk of Scott Creek, six miles from Lakeport, Lake County. The coal is said to extend nearly to the Mendocino boundary line and to be of fairly good quality. In the Gibsonville-La Porte section of Plumas County a few lan;e properties are being worked and most of the holdings in that neighborhood are on the hands of poor men, who are unable to properly de- velop them. The Slate Creek Company, a few miles east of La Porte, Plumas County, are handling their tailings by means of hy-. draulic elevators. Packer and Rendel, on another part of Slate Creek, have forty men at work and work two hydraulic ele- vators. Work has lately been resumed on the Gold Bluff mine, on the north fork of the Yuba - River, a mile above Downieville. L'g to 1890 the mine produced $250,000, when it was sold to a New York company, who went to work in an extravagant manner and failed. John Costa of Downie- ville now has the mine and has set twenty men at work. If the Union copper mine at Low Divide, Del Norte County, is purchased by Eastern parties, as anticipated, after the tunnel and shaft are cleaned gut for inspection, a revival of old times “may be expected in that section. There wasonce a very thriv- ing mining camp there, and in its im- mediate vicinity are good deposits of chrome and copper. From the new discovery of cinnabar_ore at New River. Trinity County, much is expected, though facilities for transporta- tion are very bad in that section. Some men from Red Rock, Kern Connty, who have been prospecting about ten miles north of Mojave have found a small seam of coal. Coulteryille, Mariposa County, is not quite so lively just at present as it has been, a few large companies having tem- porarily reduced their working forces. J. B. Moore of Oakland has a dry-washer in successful operation about three miles above Cool, EI Dorado County, near the Georf‘etown road, on what has been known as “Five Cent Hill,” in Greenwood min- ing district. It is run by hand and works one ton of gravel per hour. ) A fine set of hoisting works is being made for Bullard & Nevill of the App mine. Tuolumne County. Star mine, The ore from the Blazin, ‘West Point, Calaveras County, is worked in several ways. That of high grade is shipped to S8an Francisco, the medium free milling is worked at its own five-stamp mill and a good quantity is treated by the cyanide process. The old Sciefford mine, a mile north of San Andreas, Calaveras County, has been bonded for $20,000 by a San Francisco com- pany. Phil Deidesheimer, formerly of the Comstock and of Sierra County, and of other mining sections, who is well known to the miners of this coast, is to take charge of the development work to begin at once. Mr. Sciefford has worked his mine off and on for the past thirty-six years, but has been unable todeve]{)p it satisfactorily. Mariposa County mining men e: have 500 stamps at work in that county by the first of the year. v A great many new mining locations are being recorded in Mariposa County. The mining interests around Voleano, Amador County, are said to be decidediy looking up. There are man{ small veins of quartz as well as marble, granite and cement rock in thal section of country, though much of the resources are unde- veloped. £ This time it is a Los Angeles man who thinks he has solved the question of work- ing the rebellious ores of Meadow Lake district, Nevada County. Mining men from all over the West have “*had a hack” at the proposition. The resumption of work at the Gover mine, Amador County, is an important event in that section. Development will be vigorously pushed. At the Bogard mine, Amador County, Alvinza Hayward is putting up buildings, ‘machinery, etc, to open the property on a large scale. %ila there is no “boom’ in Amador County the mining interests there are in a good and pros] us condition. Senator Perkins and Captain Goodall Mines o Mining LATEST INFORMATION CONCERNING THIS IMPQRTANT INDUSTRY, lation of Mr. Storms of the State Minin Bureau located it. The ledge is abou three feet thick where it was encountered and prospects well. The discovery has greatly encouraged the owners, who will soon resume sinking, says the Amador Ledger. 5 Reports from the Goler fields in Kern County show that enough gold is being found to keep all the men at work. Pumps are being put into some of the claims. The Golden Rule mine, below James- town, Tuolumne County, is said to be turn- ing out some wonderfully rich gold ore. The Comstock payroll for July was $57,718, an increase of $6000 over the previ- ous month. L4 The Grasshopper Mining Company began work five years V:FO in Grasshopper Gulch, near Bannack, Mont., and have expended large amounts of money, bui last week commenced to take out the gold—the first from the mine. The Carson River Dredging Compan: will soon put up cyanide works to worl its concentrates {hnt are taken out of the river by the dredger. The Carson Tribune says that the $75,000 plant being erected by the English owners of the nickel mines at Lovelock is nearly coml})leted. Dot itk e preparatory work going on at the Su?nmit smelter and Olfi Timer mine, west of Pioche, Nev., means much for that town. The intention is’to work the Old Timer, Halfmoon and probably some of the mines in the vicinity, primarily for the gold in the ores, with the lead and sil- ver to be extracted thereafter. The eyan- ide process is to be nsed and tanks to work ten tons a day will be placed in the Sum- mit smelter works of the Pioche Con. Min- ing Company. The Green Mining Company has started operations in Silver City, Nev., under the management of David Crosby. The Silver King mine, Ariz, expects to add thLirty stamps to its present ten-- stamp mill. Pheenix, Ariz., wantsa mining exchange, 80 as to help develop properties. The fact is, however, mining exchanges as gen- erally conducted do not develop proper- ties. They are more on the line of selling stocks. Two men dissolved partnership in a mine in Pheenix the other day in a queer way. It was worth about $7000, but they could not agree on the value. Finally they shook gr e to see which should own the whole mine. One was a miner and the other a merchant, and the miner won the mine. The mining region about Wickenburg, Ariz., is developing some very fine mines. The Utah representative of the Gilson Agphaltum Company of 8t. Louis has re- ceived orders to shuf down the properties in Utah for an indefinite period. Thisisa serious blow to the miners and freighters who have been dependent on the St. Louis trust. A rich strige has _been made in the Nina Rica mine at Pichacho, San Diego County, and the miners there think they have now found the original source of the gold found in the placers of that section. Some men are trying tiget gold out of the sands along the banks of the Uma- tilla River, near the town of Umatilla, Or. A number of Colorado miners are already arranging for an extensive mining expedition to Alaska next spring. t is understood that the Kansas City Consolidated Bmelting and Refining Com- pany has decided to erect a large smelting piant at Nakusp, in West Kootenay, B. C. The War Eagle mine, Trail Creek, B. C., has declared another $50,000 dividend. With the completion of the railroad it is expected that the Sloan country, B. C., will be very active and prosperous next season and that a number of mines there will soon be paying dividends. The mining boom in the Slate Creek region on the Cascades is over, the Mon- tana syndicate having drawn out. There is plenty of mineral, but it is too low e. About 1000 men are prospecting. in the Trail Creek country, B. C. Over 3000 miners’ licenses have been issued thus far this year. Everything is done with a rush at Trail Creek, B C. Even the strikes are con- ducted in short order. The men were out before the camp had time to realize that a strike was on, and back again at work be- fore half the population realized that there had been a strike. A new coal vein has been tapped near Newcastle by the Oregon Improvement Company, and about 600 tons a month is being mined. The mine is called May Creek, and three veins or openings are being worked. The coal is an entirely new one, much like the Newcastle, and the location is between the town of Newcastle and Coal Creek.

A Verdict of Suicide and One of Acci- dental Death. “Suicide’”’ and ‘‘accidental death” were have thirty-five men at work on the Golden | the verdicts rendered by the Coroner’s Summit mine, Butte County. They are working a five-foot vein and have ten stamps running. The Stockton %:plewho have been pros- pecting on Peter Amador County, have struck a ledge of good free gold ore. A Mason & Griesbach of Pioneer District, Amador County, have just completed a crushing of 150 tons of ore from the Madrone mine, which cleaned up $20 ton. They still have 250 tons on dump. At the Mahoney mine, Sutter District, Amador County, ten more stamps have been started crushing. To this ten stamps have been in operation. The ledge in the Anita mine, Jackson District, Amador County, has been encoun- tered within a few feet of ing’s place, Sutter Creek, 208, : © juries in the cases of William Gregory and gsmes T.
