quite an expense digging cuts and
putting IN fumes. This work is now
nearly completed. They are now at

two hundred feet in length. They have

was that the supply of salt was used
up, and that a fresh supply could not
be shipped in SO late in the season.
The company knows just what amount
is required, and it is not reasonable
to suppose that such an oversight
would be made, not more than once,
at least. Those unacquainted with
the property very naturally conclude
that tie mines are not what they are
cracked up to be-that the ore body
is not sufficient to keep the mill go

of twelve. But such is not the case.
What reason the company has for
closing down we are unable to say.
We know it is no fault of the mines.

Mysterious Disappearance.

A burly negro made his appearance at Po-
lice Headquarters last Thursday evening
and requested admission to a hospital or asy-
lum, claiming that he was destitute and i'm
beetle. Yesterday the same character at
tracted the attention of the police by hiding
and running or creeping from hiding place
to hiding place in Georgetown, and finally
disappearing in some bushes above tho
town. This morning the bushes were
searched, and the hat, coat and shoes of the
wanderer were found, but he was missing and
inquiry fails to trace him further. In the
coat pockets were found papers, letters and
other documents, which were mostly adj
dressed to the District authorities with a
view Of getting him a ticket to his home in
icorgia, or n home in some public institu-
on. The disappearance cxcites some COM

END OF THE FISCAL YEAR.


The busiest time of the year In the Dis
trict government offices is the termination
of the fiscal year, and the press of work
during the present week makes the Column
bia building buzz with an unusual activity.
The list of July, the happy new year, iiscally
speaking, must find u great deal of work
accomplished and changes completed. The
Commissioners Office undergocs no changes,
except that the appropriations for the next
year will be at their disposal, and this will
give fresh impetus to work now tagging
because of exhausted appropriations. The
vigilant and steady workers of the special
assessment division will assess no more un-
der the direction of their able chief, Mr..
VIM. G. Roome, as both office and officers go
out of existence after tomorrow. Under
the direction of the inspector of buildings
some interesting work commences as tho
appropriations become available, for build
ing some of the new school buildings, the
wing of the Georgetown market the Indus
trial Home School College, and numerous
other buildings in which general interest
is felt.
The Inspector of Buildings will also seek
change of quarters to render his office a
little further from the roof, and Lieut..
Greene has made the same movement, and
removed his Office to the second floor.
The Office of the Collector of Taxes has
been exceedingly busy and crowded during
the business hours by the delinquent tax
payers, who are now paying up.
The Water Registrars Office is occupied
in collecting the back water taxes.
The Health Department receive an ap.
preparation for the ensuing year sufficiently
large to enable its employees to collect
garbage and do other sanitary work with
greater regularity and precision than here.

a spicy Comment Oh the Above Com.
municatlOn.

TO the Editor of The Erening Critic:
have just read the extraordinary letter
of the District Commissioners to the Presi-
dent in answer to the complaint of citizens
respecting the proposed use of the childIcn's
play ground on square 446 for police sta
tion-hOusc
The Commissioners admit their intention
to appropriate the Seventh street front of
square 446 as site for police station
house, and, a little further along, say:
"They (the Commissioners have personal
knowledge that the Seventh street front of
said square, being valuable business prop
crty, was specially reserved by Congress to
be sold for the erection of other school
houses" Why then did they deliberately
propose to override Congress and use it for
station-hOusc? This lisa strange tumble.
Here are our rulers, supposed to be intel
ligcnt men, telling the President that they
have personal knowledge" of the will of
Congress, and in the same breath announce
ing their intention to disregard it.
The Commissioners lay great stress on
what they claim to have done Ito increase
and improve the accommodations of the
public schools. If they could hear the views
of practical teachers respecting the i'm
prOvements in accommodations, it might
modify slightly this boastful condition of
themselves. And as to the increase" of
accommodations for the public schools, there
is this to be said: They struck out of their
estimate" to Congress the 100000 recon-
mended by the school board for the erec-
ton Of schO0l-houses, and added it to the
amount estimated" for street improve
ments. Perhaps they will come forward,
hereafter, and modestly claim, as evidence
of what they did for the public schools, the
four new school buildings now about to be
erected with the money appropriated by
Congress in spite of their hostile estimate
and their opposition.
The Commissioners deny hostility to the
public schools. Why then did they seek to
shut out fifteen hundred school children
from any possible chance of n play ground
and plot to leave them to shift for them
selves in the public streets among the vans,
cars and market wagons? Plain, common
sense people understand such acts to be
hostile. 1t lisa queer way to show friend
ship, anyhow.
By the way, Mr.. Editor, wish you would
be good enough to ask the Commissioners
how they got their personal knowledge"
of the intention of Congress respecting the
disposition to be made of the Seventh street
front of square 446 Just get them to show
you the law, act or resolution.
And while you are about it suppose yor
inquire whether the commission in the law
to provide authority to purchase sites was
an inadvertency of Congress or the Com
missiOners Some people are uncharitablc
enough to think that charging this mad
vertancy upon Congress is not quite correct.

you to help and expose the scheme about to
