One Cent Pieces. ALAMEDA, CaL, Aug. 19.—A Dane named Hans Hansen, inteat on burgiary, started at 5 o’clock this morning to go through the jeans of six laundry China- men living in a tenement at the corner of Bank alley and Oak street, and almost op- posite - the police station. He awoke one of the celestials, who made an outery, and the boss Chinaman, Sing Lee, fired a re- volver at him. Officers Brampton and Moebus gave chase to the robber down Bank alley, across Park street and into Webb avenue. Another shot after him only increased his speed. The fire brigade boys headed off hisflight, so he broke to the left through two vacant lots, scaling a six- foot fence, and got on to Lincoln avenue. He then doubled back toward Park street | and ran into an alleyway alongside of Ger- mania Hall. The officers after a search found him concealed in the gutter of two low roofs at the rear of another Chinese laundry. Unanimity Broken. ALAMEDA, Can., Aug. 19.—The first sign of friction in the doings of the Board of Education was exhibited last night, when the School Superintendent read out the timetable of the principals’ duties. Hitherto everything has been smooth sailing, the board doing all the discussion and arranging before the meetings. The Superintendent’s timetable as ar- ranged last night showed that the princi- pals bad chosen special subjects to teach and would be held accountable for the results. This, he contended, was in ac- cordance with the new rule. The mem- bers. on the contrary, held the opposite view, and all took a general hand in the discussion against the Superintendent, who stoutly maintained his ground. Chair- man Tisdale at last suggested that the rule be referred to the Committee on Rules and Regulations, and it was so deciaed. A Racial Difficulty. ALAMEDA, CaL., Aug. 19 —Shall Chi- nese and Japanese children be allowed the right of attending the public schools is an- other question that the Board of Educa- tion is wrestling with. “Ido not think these Japs have any right to come here and have the benefits of _our schools without paying for them,” said Director Brown. ‘‘We complain that our classrooms are crowded, and that there is no room for children whose parents are actual residents. Nearly all of these Japanese pupils may be classed as non- residents and many of them are over school age.”” Chairman Tisdale said it was a fact that there are a great many Japanese attend. ing our schools, to which he is heartily opposed when they are not residents. “A few days ago a Chinaman called on me and asked whether he might attend our schools. I told him he had better go to school in China, where he came from. The Chinaman stated that he failed to see why any distinction should be made be- tween his race and the Japanese.” The matter is to receive attention at the board’s next meeting, The 1-Cent Plece. ALAMEDA, CAL., Aug. 19.—G. A. Blank, a confectioner living here, has 8 hobby. The South Pacitic objected to his exercise of it and he has a suit pending against the company. His hobby consists in tender- ing 1-cent pieces or copper pennies as rail- road and car fare. The other day he tendered five pennies to the conductor on the local electric line, who exclaimed: “This 1s the second time you’ve sprung this on me. I'm not goin to turn such trash in to the company.” Herang the fare up and threw the pennies on to the street. Mr. Blank saysevery time he rides on the cars in future he is going to find that conductor and make bim throw the pennies away or adopt the penny idea. The Settling Up. ALAMEDA, CaL, Aug. 19.—Alameda day committee held a meeting last night to estimate expenses in connection with the celebration at the Oakland Exposition. ! Liabilities were_stated ito be $79, receipts $68, leaving an indebtedness of $11, which is to be met among the members of the committee. . Martinelli Acquitted. OAKLAND, CaL., Aug. 19.—E.

BERKELEY, CaLn, Aug. 19.—The new freshmen of the university have made a threat that opens out a prespect of the biggest year of rushing that was ever ex- perienced at Berkeley, Flushed by their successes in the small preliminary contests that have so far taken place the '00 men declare that they can do what they please in college this year and will not acknowledge, e7en par- tially, the sophomore rule that has laid down the customs for freshmen of the past. The class oi ’00 is a large and strong one, adding 250 *‘soldiers” to the Univer- sity Cadets, and it is believed to be the most gowerfnl “rushing’’ class that ever entered the university. But if the freshmen should decide to carry canes they would be introducing an innovation which would sorely trample upon the dignity of the sophomores. The latter declare that they will never allow the “men of nit,” as 00 stu- dents are called, to carry canes during their first year at college. “They will way- lay all freshmen with walking-sticks and take away the disputed sign of advanced coilege standing, and if the freshmen should unite in carrying out their now whispered threat to carry canes it is safe to say that a large number of the latter will broken before the year ends, and there will be a long succession of rushes before the point is settled. The freshmen will hold their first class meeting next Friday in Stiles Hall. They will organize-and elect officers and, it is expected, issue a challenge for the sopho- more class to meet them in a rush. ~ Mandolin Club.

Milton Johnson, the champion cake- walker of the coast, is very, sorry for his little outburst of bad oratory at the expo- sition two nights ago and now he wishes he had not done it. It was all the fault of his memory. He wanted to use the word “paltry,” but 1t would not come to him and he said something else. “All that trouble was caused by one single word,” said Champion Johnson to- day. I was feeling so badly over the deci- sion of the judges at the Macdonough two weeks ago that I feit I ought to say some- thing. Iintended to say that they sold their principle for a few paltry dimes, but I said—well, something else about the nature of the dimes, and people turned their heads. “Now about cakewalking. It is a fine art ana there 1s considerable science in it. There is certainly nothing demoral- izing about it, and I dispute the word of everybody who speaks disparagingly of 1t. If everybody would attempt to walk as poetically and gracefully as a good cake- walker does there would be a big im- provement in the general appearance of the majority of people. “The lady with whom I am at present walking is Miss Jennie la Curtiss, who has had very little experience so_far, but who is improving wonderfully. I have several elegant scientific movernents in reserve, and when Miss la Curtiss has practiced some more we will sur?risa people. She is doing very well at her lessons. “Wherever I have walked I have always taken first prize except at the Macdon- ough, and I consider I am quite as respec- table and useful a member of society as any of those who are talking about me. If some people that I know would talk iess and play less Wker they would be more respected. hatever I win at a cakewalk I use for the benefit of my fam- ily, and they get the use of all my wages, and I want everybodg to understand that 1 am justas respectable a colored citizen n; ere is in the county and I am proud of it. ‘When not engaged in cakewalking Mil- ton Johnson works as a barber on Wash- ington street. Misquoting Scripture. The Watchman of Boston says that some of the prominent managers of the International Sunday-school Convention, which met in_Boston the other day, failed to quote the Bible correctly, though tuey advanced the most extreme theories of verbal inspiration. Among those who, it says, misquoted the Bible, were the Rev. Dr. David J. Burrell of this city, the Rev. Dr. Tyler, a member of the lesson com- mittee, and B. F. Jacobs, a member of the same committee. The Sunday-school also tells of a member of the lesson com- mittee who quoted the declaration, “All that a man hath will he give for his life,” as a Scriptural statement of truth, whereas it was uttered by Batan, and is simply uoted in the Bible. The Watchman men- tions these incidents to show that there is a widespread ignorance of the Bible, even among Christian preachers and teachers. ——————————— Only seventy years have elapsed since the first railway x’n the world was finished.

Gold assays as high as $906 have been obtained from the Benton claim in Utah, one of the Bingham Copper Company’s group at Bingham. These high assays are from an oxidized ore found beneath the sulphides, which is regarded as a most un- usual occurrence, but similar conditions exist in other Bingham mines. Two mills are running regularly at Quartz Mountain and the town ison the boom. At the App mine ten more stamps will be added to the twenty already run- ning and the same will be done at the Dutch mine.—Angels Voice. Miss Jennie Hilton, formerly a school- teacher in the Pomona Valley, California, turned prospector and took to the moun- tains in genuine prospecting style. For the past year she has been engaged in mining enterprises, together with her brother and uncle, near Harquahala, Ariz., and a few weeks ago she sold her interest in the Kansas mine in that district for $35,000, of which amount she received $20,000 in cash, the balance to be paid in sixty days. Quigley, Mont., is getting quite a boom. The principal mine is the Jumbo, which is claimed to be the greatest gold proposition on the continent. The lead is 236 feet in width and carries an average value of $5 to $25 F“ ton. They employ 450 men, the payroll being $50,000 per month. Miners get $3 50 per day and laborers §3. So says the Rock Creek Record. A big strike of free gold has been made in thaiime Giant, situated in the Pierre Lake camp, which snrpasses anylnlngf'et developed in the reservation country. The yellow metal exists in a well-defined vein of ledge matter about two feet or moze in width, and is free milling. This discovery is near the big copper lead, and practically settles the question for a brilliant future to the Pierre Lake country, which is only twenty-two miles irom Marcus. Speci- mens weighing fifty pounds, taken from a depth of twenty-four feet, will assay $20,- 000 to the ton,—Mining Industry. “Very little quartz mining has been done in Eastern Oregon, but that little has pro- duced wonders. Wherever a reasonable sum of money has been expended in de- velopment and machinery the yield of old has been enormous. For instance, ook at the Virtue mine with a twenty- stamp mill producing nearly $40,000 monthly; the Bonanza, the E. & E. mines, the Cornucovia and many others produc- ing from $10,000 to $30,000 per month. Yet with this magnificent showing the district is comparatively unknown to the cutside world. In Chicago I have been asked, ‘Does Oregon produce gold? We didn’t know it was a mining State.” This district wil| be second to none when known.”— Mining Industry. About fifteen miles from Alamos, So- nora, a very rich mine has been discov- ered, with copper ore, some of which yields 30 per cent OOFDOI" and which also shows an admixture of gold. A company has been formed to work it. One day the widow of a deceased Judge in the State of Utah began an inventory of the pockets that had been left by the lamented, and in them found 40,000 shares of stock in the famous Portland mine at Cripple Creek! which hss already paid $743,000 to its stockholders, of which sum $120,000 has been paid the present vear. At the present market value of Portland, with dividends being repeated each month, the lady should never know such a thing as want. That was a pretty rich pocket of ore for the poor widow. There are no statisticts to prove the aggregate wives have bagged by indus- trious searches of husbands’ pockets, but we doubt if there has ever been an in- stance of such a find. It is to be hoped that the above piece of good luck will not ive an impetus of this industry in the gone of a similar one. A Port Townsend paper says it has been found that the richest placer mines of the north, on Glacier and Miller creeks, beretofore supposed to be upon Alaskan territory, ana therefore within the United States, are inside the boundaries of British Columbia, and they are therefore subject to tax by the Dominion Government. The old Pittsburg mine on Gold Flat is again coming to the front. A gentleman informed a Union reporter last night that the mine is looking very favorable indeed, a ledge of high-grade ore having been struck in the 600-foot level. The mine is being worked by tributers, who have been making wages for some time past. The Nevada Transcript says splendid quartz has been struck in the Summit mine, and the prospects are very encour- aging. If the developments continue as toey have of late it will not be a great while before the company will find it necessary to put up a mill. Superintend- ent Nihell is to be congratulated upon the success that is attending his management of the mine. According to an article in the Republi can the Golden i x mine (Colorado) is a bonanza. They e to have a vein 150 to 200 feet wide, which runs from $8 to $45 in gold per ton. The Colorado Mining Exchange has ex- pelied several members for violation of the rules. A clean-up of eight loads of ore from the Indiana mine has just been completed at the Electric mill. The mine is located on almost the top of Osborn Hill and is owned by Michael White and sons. The ledge is a good-sized one and isina re- gion famous for rich quartz veins. The result of the crushing is not made public, but it was more than satisfactory to the owners.—Grass Valley Telegraph. Bit down on all booms. If big strikes are made and paying mines are opened there will be no trouble in disposing of them to men of wealth. Money will de- velop the camp and its inhabitants, not the rabble who follow a boom, will reap the benefits,—Alaska Mining Record. The above advice is very sensible, but is not Alaska mining at the present moment no small proportion of its prosperity from its “boom’ in its mines?

LEUTHOLTY, Auction and are responsibie for a good deal of the suffering that has followed the rush of the ever improvident miner to the country to be disappointed in their expectations. At a meeting of the directors of the Iron Mountain mine at Helena, Mont., it was decided to run a tunnel 5600 feet in length, to tap the mine at a depth of 1600 feet. The work will require one year's time, and cost $70,000. A company with a capital of $2,250,000 has been formed in New Zealand to work the iron sands of the beach near New Plymouth. During a storm in Chihuahua, Mexico, recently, an enormous meteor fell from the sky, striking the side of a mountain, bringing down a large mass of the cliff, burying itself in the ground, destroying the house of a miner and killing two chil- n'i‘reln. The steam is still issuing from the ole. Professor Blake recently wrote and de- livered a lecture on meteors at Tucson, Arizona, since which meteors have been falling all over Arizona and Mexico, more having fallen within the last six months than for years previous. The professor’s lecture seems to have aroused a spirit of rivalry among the meteors to come to the front and be noticed. We earnestly beg the profeszor to hold up, or we shall have metecrs falling all around us, and possibly get one on top of our heads. e have had all sorts of calami- ties already, and draw tne line at meteors. Owing to the fall in the price of copper the mines of Lake Superior and Lake Michigan have rushed the shipments of the metal this last year, exceeding the shipments of last vear by 5,000,000 tons. All the copper mines are reducing forces and in every possible way economizing, and thebiz mines are practically closing, throwing 3000 men out of employment, Another quartz mill is being erected in the vicinity of the Tubbs mine in Placer Connty. The remarkable success of the latter property has attracted considerable attention to the quartz ledges of the vicin- ity. The Bald mine, the property of Fred Brunner 8r., bas been bonded to William Cleary, formerly of the Sheep Ranch mine, for $25,000. The work of erecting machinery on the Carley gold quartz mine, situated in Alta- ville mining district, is going on actively. As soon as the machinery is all in position the work of developing the mine will bs commenced. This promises to be a valu- able mining property. 1t was reporied during the week thata large block of gold, estimated to weigh about 1500 pounds and of the value of $295,643 73, was found in the last crosscut of No. 10 tunnel of the DeLamar, and was imbedded in a rock of somewhat different character and hardness known to mining men. They are trying to get it out whole, and dare not blast on that account. Hard- ened chisels, tempered with machine oil make but little impression on the rock, but it is the only tool that any headway can be made with.—DeLamar (Nev.) Lode, Mr. Brown of Tulare has struck $45 ore near Summit station, four miles east of Goler, in the Randsburg district. News comes from the Panamint coun- tty. over in Inyo County, fifty miles northeast of Randsburg, ~that George Cruise, Bady Creamer and Bob Avery have struck a ledge that will run from $15 t0 $90 a ton. ' P. Frefield, who has been looking for a mine ever since last November, has dis- covered a paying claim within two miles of Randsburg. It willgo $80 to'the ton.— Californian. The Needles Gazette says: James Me- Clintock, who has been working a dry washer in the Chemehuevis Mountains, arrived in Franconia a few days ago with a $32 nugget an many others that weighed from $2 to $6 each. Besides these he had with him a nice littie sack of gold dust.

It holds to reason: that when an article is dull of sale it can be bought cheaper than when in better de- mard. A reasonable advance is all right, but when as an instance within our know- ledge, where a man owning a group of un- developed mines would have been zlad to have had an offer of $20,000 and would have taken it quickly a year ago, has raised his price to $150,000, it is absurd no doubt but what he could seli for double the value of twelve months ago, but what folly to raise to $150,000! It simply scares away honest seekers for min- ing property, it being a great mistake on the part of the mine owner to sup- ose that a competent mining expert is not a very good judge of the value of a property, and is not at all influenced in his estimate of it by the price asked, when he comes to examine it, and will advocate its purchase at such a fancy price. It must be remembercd that there are mines and mines for sale in fhe State, and no one owner has the monopoly of the business, hence we quote the langunage of the text and don’t Irighten investors away by ask- ing ridicuious prices for your nropérties.
