The increased activity, however, has not been confined to Butte. There are more shipping mines in the State now than in the days when silver was up, although most of the ship- pers now are gold and copper producing properties. The report of Eugene B. Bra- den, assayer “in charge of the United Btates assay oflice in this city, to the Di- rector of the Mint placed Montana's min- eral output at more than $65,000,000 last year, greater by $10,000,000 than in any ‘The increase was due in arge measure to the increased output of the copper mines at Butte.” 4 Work- The Mother Lode Mafine for a week past in taking out the mlachinery from the Ala- meda mill. 1t is to be shipped by rail to | Merced, from which point it will be hauled | by teams to Mariposa, where it will be | erected at the mine of the Mariposa Com- | | mercial and Development Company.

Mr. Doyle arrived on the scene too late to save a company that had squandered a fortune on fancy surface improvements. With the mill gone it may be that some practical men will take Hold of the property and make a success of it. E——— Sixteen thousand tons of tomatoes were imported into Wsl- last year.

Aueaqr] aul CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION IS CHARGED ‘WITH GROSS DISCRIMINATION IN ITS DEALINGS WITH OFFICIALS \ Bitter Are the Complaints-of Some Secretaries Who Are Compelled to-Take Examin- “ations While More Favored Ones Are Exempted.’ The secretarles of certain boards and commissions of the city government are crying out against what they character- ize as rank discrimination in the charter provision which speciiies the” different employes governed bv civil service and it is an assured fact that the Civil Service Commission will be confronted with an- other sult to determine its powers. The new phase of the controversy may be also introduced into the coming litiga- tion before Judge Hebbard. In accordance with the provision men- tioned the commission issued a call for an examination of secretaries of the Board of Health, Fire Commissioners and Police Commissioners. . No call was ls- sued for the examination of the secre- taries of the Board of Public Works and Election Commissioners, which are exempted in the sama section from the operations of the civil service provision. The charter does not mention the Park Commission employes as coming within the purview of the merit system, though why that department or that of the Board of Public Works and Election Commission should have been omitted Is not made clear. ‘It is significant that Phil Fay, who Is secretary of the Park Commission, and a brother of Charles Fay, the Mayor's secretary, will not be obliged to jeopardize lus tenure of office by submitting to a civil service examtns- { tion. No definite action has yet been taken in regard to the plain discrimination in requiring sogne secretaries to take the | examination “and in exempting others. The mutterings of dissatisfaction over | the unjust operations of the civil service system are rapidly spreading and the sccretaries who have been singled out | and compelled to take an examination which their confreres of equal rank are excused from taking by the beneficent provision of the charter may yet apply to llle courll !or relief. mplaints were heard Imund the Ch.y l-la.u yesterday regarding the examination for experienced clerks in the Board of Public Works, held in the Girls' High School day afternoon. 'l?ars were twenty-one contestants, seven ‘whom are at present employed by the rd. It is alleged that sufficient time wns not given for the applicants to finish the !ubjeeu. which embraced a wide ?

Professor Fryer has a good deal to say in its support. The ancient form is stiil followed to a considerable extent. Chi- nese education, he said, may well be re- garded as one of the greatest lights of Asia, If not the greatest. Its influence vpon the Government is wonderful. The sole object of Chinese education is to pre- pare candidates for examination for posi- tions of official rank. There is no learning for learning’s sake. | Every scholar who studies does so with one end In view—that of attaining a posi- tlon ‘of offictal or political rank. The fact that China has been the largest empire for the longest period of years Is due very largely to the country's peculiar form of ed‘kxcg;iln‘n G o ef toast was given by David S Jordan of Stanford " University.

The den- o mmm-fl‘ as a hospital steward at plicants were seated, and the lghting fa- | cilities being poor, it was difficult to see | well. At 6:30 o'clock the examination was declared closed and it is said that not one applicant finished all the subjects. Dissatisfaction is also freely ressed over the subject matter on which ques- | tions were based. Clerks in the general office were obliged to answer the same | | questions as those in the bureau of streets, though the duties in the two of- fices are entirely dissimilar. | CHINESE EDUCATION IS ASIA’S GREATEST LIGHT Professor John Fryer Addresses Cali- fornia Schoolmasters’ Club at Their Second Banquet.
