anu put III OctteE COuuitlOu tuIOuSuou
than it ever was before, is now DESTROYS
of putting the finishing touches to the
job by constructing II new sewer all
along down the east side thereof, in
place Of the little old inefficient three
cornered arrangement now in use. He
proposes to construct the new sewer
substantially of plank, at a regular
grade, from the Eclipse wood yard at
the upper end Of town, down to the
Union scales, where the raviue at that
point will be the outlet. The new sewer
is to be wide aud deep, amply go to
carry nil the water which flows down
Main street even during the floods OF
the winter season. This would have
the effect TO prevent the street from be-
ing quilted out, and keep it in good
order. 1t is n well known fact that for
Il good portion Of last winter the street
could no. be crossed without going over
boot tops in the river of mud, slosh,
and water pouring down it, all Of which
could have been carried oil decently by
means of such q as the one pro-
posed. A muddy, impossible street,
has always II depressing effect upon
business on either side, but ignoring all
other considerations, the sewer ought
to be built merely on the score Of public
economy, for it the coming winters
floods are allowed to freely wash away,
gully out and injure the street the same
as it does every winter, it will cost as
much for the re6lling, repairing and
matchmaking next season rs the entire
sewer would amount to. This spending
three or four thousand dollars every
year for street repairs when they may
be so easily avoided to u great exteut,
is u sinful waste of the public coin.
The present state Of the town treasury
will not allow of this sewer being paid
for from that source. therefore Mr..
Gallagher proposes to build it by
private subscriptions from the property
holders along the route, and has
already commenced ~canvassing for
that purpose. In view Of the vast
benefits TO he derived, all can well af-
ford to subscribe very literally. The
great pitch or fall the sewer would hare
precludes all idea of its clogging, and
with Il little attention during the winter
our main street can be kept well drained
and in good condition. Let us have
tina. sewer by all means.

REcovERISG.-The many friends OF
William Hunter, whose right elbow was
badly injured by II fall from the car
track down into an ore bin at the lower
Savage dump, will be pleased to learn
that since the operation Of risecting his
elbow was performed, heThas been re-
covering, and now is able to sit up. lie
will soou be able to walk about. The
bone of the elbow being entirely re-
moved, it will never be rs good an arm
as it was before, but still much better
than n wooden one. He remains at the

UNION MEETING LAST EvESISG.-Judge
Hayden, Of Dayton, made a very effect
i've, legal argument before the First
Ward Union Club last evening, and
quoted from the documents put forth by
leading rebels, evidence fully sustaining
his positions. The conclusions were
positive in favor of the Republican
cause, aud were received with pleasure
BY An attentive audience. Ex-Marshal
Cummings and Wilmer Brown made
very happy and appropriate speeches,
and with three cheers for Grant and
Colfax, the meeting adjourned.
REGIsrRArIoS.-We are requested by
Judge Hall to say that those who were
registered for the Town election last
June are not required to be again regis
tered. as their names remain on the reg
lister for the year 1868, and are good for
nj, elections held during the year.
Many have called at his office to register
again, not knowing the law upon the
subject. But those not yet registered
should attend to it ut once, as delays
are dangerous, aud the 10th inst. is near
ut hand.
RsuovlSG.-All the machinery and
other interior apparatus of the old
Comet mill is being removed, prepara-
tory to tearing down the building.
Owing to the caying aud settling OF the
surface over the old north workings OF
the Yellow Jacket mine, II large portion
of this mill, Immediately over the place,
fell, IA few weeks since, and the chances
are that the balance might follow suit
in the course of time.
observation-disclosures SHAFr.-This new
shaft is now about 1000 feet deep, be-
ing Yesterday % feet below the 900-foot
level. It has been proposed to open a
station at the ~l,o0O-foot level,
but unless u good body of ore is
developed in the west drift; ofthe 9OO-foot
level it will PROBABLY not be opened at
present; but when the shaft shall have
attained another hundred feet in depth,
a much more eligible showing for a new
station will be developed than at the
present time. With the present surface
machinery the shaft can be sunk to the
depth Of 900 feet.
