The Board of Education yesterday au- thorized Superintendent of Schools Lang- | don to establish an ungraded class in the Washington Grammar School and also sanctioned the adding of others in the schools of the city as soon as facilities and needs warrant it. Langdon filed a report on the subject, concluding with the following resolutions, which were adopted: Whereas, there is great need of much more individual instruction for certain classes of children than can be given under our present | system of class instruction with a large num- bre of children in a single room; and Whereas, the establishment of smail un- graded classes for individual instruction of backward children would greatly assist in eradicating the evils of class instruction now existing; be it Resolved, That it shall be the policy of this Boerd of Education to establish ®uch an un- graded class In each large school under the direction of a strong teacher, the salary of guch teacher to be equal to the amcunt paid to grade teachers; and be it further Aesolved, That one “ungraded class” be es- tablished at once, the same to be located at the Washington Grammar School, and tnat others be added in other schools of the city as soon as facilities and needs warrant the same.

Butler, Original Discov- erer of Rich Lode, Is Given Title. } A mining suit involving Tonopah min- | eral lands valued at a figure well into the millionr was settled on Monday in Carson, Nev., by the decision of United States Circuit Judge Hawley. The Ton- | | opah Mining Company, of which J. L. Butler, the criginal discoverer of the new | El Dorado, is the heaviest stockholder, | gained the decision over the Tonopah and Salt Lake Mining Company in the legal struggle for the possession of the richest portions of the Butler group of mines. The suit was brought upon an adverse | claim and a protest entered in the United | States Land Office at Carson against the application of Butler's company for a | pateat to a ccns lid .ted clain embr:cing eight locations. The complainants in the suit alleged that two of Butler's claims, the Valley View and the Silver Top, | overlapped their several locations known as the Pyramid, the Wandering Boy and the Stone Cabin. Upon these grounds | they brought the sult which has been de- | | cided against them. | Into the suit’ there was introduced the story of the romantic discovery of the rich Tonopah ledges by Butler. While | riding through the desert in the summer | the picked np a sack full of specimens from the bleak ridge in the sand and left them unheeded in his house for weeks. l ROCK PROVES RICH., { Upon finally “prdspecting” the rough | rocks there came to the penniless miner | the vision of his sudden weaith, and rac- | !ing back to the desert he staked the | claims which were destfned to yield him a fortune. | It was on August 30, 1900, that Butler put up his location notices in a rusty | tomato can on the top of the gold ribbed | ridge. On March 20, 1901, the company which Butler had formed filed in the Land Office at Carson an amended notice of lo- cation, embracing eight consolidated claims. But the news of the strike had brought a rush to the new fields and the | Tonopah and Salt Lake Company staked its claims so that in part they were co-| incident with the ground staked out in the amended notice of Butier's Tonopah | Mining Company. In reviewing the three suits Judge Haw- | ley announced that testimony taken inm | either of them which was applicable mi any one or both of the other suits would be allowed to stand for all three. De- spite this short cut, his Honor had to weigh an almost limitless amount of cona flicting evidence concerning boundary stakes and location notices before he could render his decision. STAKES WERE MISSING. | The main plea of the complainant was | that in many instances Butler's boundary | stakes were not to be found, and also.| that his amended notice varied from that first placed by him in the rusty tomato can on the ridge. To this argument | Judge Hawley gave the following answer: | When a valid location’ of a mining claim | | 48 once made it vests in the locator and his | successors In interest the right of possession | thereto, which right cannot be divested by the obligation or removal, without the fault | of the locator or his successor in interest, of the stakes and monuments marking its bound- | aries, or of the obliteration or removal from | the claim of the location notices posted thereon. | The right of the original locators to change | their original location so long as such change | does not interfere with the existing rights of others acquired previous to such change is Unquestioned. The amended certificate of loca- tion, when made, becomes the completed loca- tion of the discoverer and is just as valid as if Jt had been made in the first instande. | W. E. F. Deal, Kenneth M.

Railroad Magnate and Lum- ber King Unite on Big Project. While Perfecting Plans the Two Mil- lionaires Prepare for Fierce Le- gal Battle With Rip- « ley in Eureka. s e e E. H. Harriman, head of the syndicate which controls the California Northwest- ern Railway, is planning to make that road part of a coast system that will eventually have its northern terminus at Astoria, where direct connections will be made with the Oregon Rallway and Navi- gation Company’s line. The extension of the local road to the State of Washing- ton is not a project contemplated for the far future, but is actually under con- sideration. Engineers of the Harriman syndicate are aiready engaged in defin- ing the route and estimating the cost of |and the time that will be necessary to | carry out the enterprise. It was learned yesterday that the pre- liminary plans for the new route to the north are already in this city and copies of them are in the hands of A. B. Ham- mond, the lumber king, Who is working in harmony with the Southern Pacific magnate in assuring the success of the project. The first step was taken some when the Southern Pacific Company secured an option on the Ham- mond road, running north from Arcata thirty odd miles toward Crescent City. It is purposed to extend this road as fast as possible to Crescent City and eventually connect it with the town of Eureka. BITTER LEGAL BATTLE. Before this latter connection can be made a bitter fight in the courts between the Santa Fe and the Harriman-Ham- mond interests will have to be settled. | It is a case that involves the right of | way Into the town of Eureka and the lit- igation which has developed was inherited by the Harriman syndicate and the Santa Fe Company in their efforts to beat each other into that impor t lumber shipping point. The Eureka and Eel River road extends around the inner side of . the shore of Humboldt Bay to Eureka, while | the Hammond road runs sputhwest from Arcata down the peninsula that forms the outer side of the t Some years ago the Hammond interests, desiring to | rail instead of having | reach Eureka by to eross the bay with the product of their lumber mill, which is situated peninsula, entered into an agreement with the Eureka and Eel River road by which the former could use a certain portion of the tracks and a tunnel just outside the town of Eureka. Later the Eureka and Eel River road, so it was alleged, repudi- ated this agreement and the Hammond ADVERTISEMENTS.

When the Santa Fe Company absorbed the Eu- reka and Eel River road it naturally in- herited this litigation and Harriman also became a party to it when he interested himself with Hammond in the opposition road. The case is to come up shortly in the courts of Eureka and will be bitterly fought, although the Harriman_ people are sanguine of victory, claiming that their side of the case is well supported by the existing agreement. NOT WASTING TIME. Should Harriman win he will imme- diately proceed to make connections with Eureka from Arcata. The necessary grading has already been done and all that will be necessary will be to lay the rails, which were landed at Eureka two weeks ago from the steamer Francis H. Leggett. Pending the settlement of this legal question, however, Harriman is not wasting time, and through Hammond he is preparing to extend the newly acquired road north of Eureka on to €rescent City. Within the last few weeks parties of | surveyors have been hurrying their work | over the proposed extension, a distance of | about thirty-five miles, and grading is ex- | pected to begin shortly. Meanwhile Harriman has entered into {an agreement with Hammond to secure | control of the lumbermaii's road running | south from Astoria and is =aid to have assured the owner that he will' not | want for the necessary funds to con- | tinue the road farther south. In fact, : plans for this work are already prepared | and are now in the office of Hammond in the Hayward building, where, for sev- eral days, contractors have been looking them over with the idea of giving esti- mates on the cost of the work. Harri- man's engineers have also been visiting Hammond's office and holding long con- | ferences with the lumberman and his as- | sociates concerning the proposed exten- | slon of the Washington road and the line | running northward from Arcata toward Eureka. CONFERS WITH ENGINEERS. Although A. B. Hammond, when seen | yesterday regarding these facts, declined | to confirm them, he could not be in- | duced to deny them, apparently realizing that his interviewer had possessed him- self of information that could not very well be refuted. As a matter of fact, at the very moment the reporter called upon Hammond he was engaged in con- ference with engineers of the Harriman | lines and a number of contractors who | are figuring on the contemplated work. ‘When asked point blank if it was not a fact that he was working ij harmony with Harriman and that plans for the work mentioned was receiving his daily consideration the lumber king paused for a time, then tried to evade the questions by endeavoring to interest his interviewer in a map of the rich timber tracts of Humboldt County, but finally reluctantly said: *“Well, we have been thinking for a long time of extending our northern lines and possibly may carry out the plan.” Of the reported alliance with Harri- { man, Hammond looked troubled, and then ! saild that he and the rallroad president | were good friends, emphasizing the con- | fession with a significant smile. RICH REDWOOD DISTRICT. Tn extending the Hammond road north- ward from Crescent City Harriman will penetrate the richest redwood district in the Western world. It lies along the coast between Humboldt Bay and the northern boundary of the State and is absolutely controlled by Hammond and those who are associated with him in the Hammond Lumber Company. On the Oregon” side of the coast route the pro- posed line will extend through rich tracts of fir and pine, and farther north, in the territory through which the Hammond line running southward out of Astoria is | 1aid, another valuable timber belt will be encountered. Part of the plans of the Harriman-Ham- mond combine is to run the line north- ward by way of Marshfield or Empire City in Oregon. from one of which places an easterly branch will be constructed so as to tap the lower part of the Willam- ette Valley and connect with the main line of the Southern Pacific at Roseburg. A survey of this branch is ready in progress, a party of surveyors - having been sent north about six weeks ago for this purpose. A recent announcement that a party of surveyors were at work on a proposed line from Grants Pass southwesterly to Crescent City has given rise to a suspi- clon that the Harriman syndicate was really behind the undertaking, but it is now learned from a most reliable source that the engineer department of the Southern Pacific Company has condemned LONG SERVICE REWARDED WITH HIGH HONORS The Presidlo was all astir last evening when carriages rolled up in large num- bers with scores of military folk and civilians to join in the splendid reception | planned in honor of General and Mrs. George B, Rodney. For some days the promotion of General Rodney had been anticipated, and yesterday he received a telegram from Washington announcing that he has been promoted brigadier- general and retired, after serving his country falthfully and well for forty-two years. It was In every respect a love feast Officers of the Presidio, and Fort Baker came to pay their re- spects to the general and proffer their hearty congratulations. The ‘“Hop Room™ was exquisitely decorated for the occas- ion, the reception part of the room being separated from the portion set aside for | dancing by a huge bank of geraniums and rich foliage. The fine band of the Third Artillery Corps, under the direction of Bandmaster Putz, discoursed music from behind an fmmense screen of plants and hedges of cypress. The guests, num- bering about 300, were received by Major and Mrs. O. W. Hobbs, Major Stephen- son, Major and Mrs. Albert Todd, Cap- tain and Mrs. E. A. Millard and Captain | Hinckley. Each of the guests gave Gen- eral Rodney a hearty handshake, accom- panied with hearty expressions of con- gratulation, and then the dancing began. Among those present, besides Brigadier General and Mrs. Rodney, were: General and Mrs. and Miss Rawles, Colonel and Mrs. Coolidge, Chaplain and Mrs. and Miss Perry, Colonel and Mrs. A. C. Markley, Captain Koehler, Dr. T. O. Cornish of Bost Captain and Mrs. W. and Mrs. Landers, Hunter, Lieutenant Major Trotter, Ludlow, Captain Captain 2 L. tain and_Mrs. C. A. Bennett, Mrs. T. H.

SURVEYORS AT WORK. Pending the settlement of the legal bat- tle over a right of way Into Eureka a parly of surveyors has been working on a branch line which Harriman contem- plates building eastward from the coast at Fort Bragg to a point on the extension of ‘the California Northwestern, a few miles above Ukiah or Willits. This line will tap another rich timber belt on the coast and will practically leave nothing for the Santa Fe to feed upon north of there, where the timber has already been cut nearly up to the town line of Eureka. The only serious handicap that con- fronts Harriman and his business agent, A. B. Hammond, in carrying out the elab- orate plans for connecting San Francisco with Astoria by means of a coast line is the approaching litigation in the Eureka courts between the Southern Pacific rep- resentative and the Santa Fe. Should a decision be rendered against Harriman and Hammond the railroad magnate will still have control of the peninsula oppo- site Eureka, and by some means yet to be determined upon he will endeavor to enter the lumber port, despite the ob- stacles thrown in his way by the San- ta Fa of Fort Miley | .
