Sanitary Police.

The efficient police force of the city are
not only vigilant and on the alert in sup
pressing crime and bringing offenders and
evil doors to justice, but they are mindful
of the health, comfort and cleanliness of the
city. At this season of the year this is
an all important feature in the proper care
and regulation of a city, and it is COM
mendable in the force that they are exhibit
ing SO much solicitude in this regard. A
visible improvement Is already apparent
on many OF the public thoroughfares, and
the streets and alleys show a marked i'm
provement. Lieutenant Ambrose has
special charge of this department in police
duty, and he is giving it earnest and ener-
getic attention. Since assuming this
duty he has given 331 notices to residents
and property owners of existent nuisances,
which should be abated, and in each in
stance they have been removed without
legal process. We are assured that these
sanitary precautions will be continued. and
that in every instance where parties are
notified of the existence of disease-breed-
ing nuisances and fail to remove them, the
law made and provided in sueh cases will
be enforced to the letter, and without par

Digging for silver.

An enterprising gentleman who has had
considerable experience in prospecting for
precious metals, some six months since
discovered indications of silver mine on
a farm near the city. After making the
necessary arrangements with the owner of
the property, the industrious searcher
after hidden treasures began the digging of
a hole in the ground, as The surest and
earliest means Of reaching that which he
seeks. As though hunting for water in the
old well digging fashion, he has been in
dustriously at work for the past six
months, digging and blasting, without
becoming at all discouraged because traces
of silver or something more valuable have
not very frequently unearthed in the tedi-
Gus process. His well is now ffty-three
feet deep, and he is still ''peeginc
away as full Of hope and confidence as
he was the day he began the work. Il is
his belief, we learn, that few feet more
through solid limestone win bring him in
contact with the priceless treasure be
seeks. We hape he may not be disap-
pointed. An exhaustless silver mine in
this particular locality, at this particular
time, might be easily converted into a
great public blessing, and for this reason
many of our citizens might be disposed TO
join the silver hunter and dig with him for
shares.
