FEEDING CITY PRISONERS.
Movement Investigated Looking to
:, Cut in Prices.


At the Tuesday nights meeting of
the city council it is very probable that
an effort will be made to cut down the
price paid for meals furnished city
prisoners. AT least one member of the
prison committee has expressed him
self in unmeasured terms regarding
the matter, and now has three or four
bids for the contract of "hashing" the
inmates of the city Jail. At present,
under the city ordinances, Is cents is
paid and the contract has been so fat
that the two former chiefs of police
have secured a 10 per cent. subsidy.
Now, however. a proposition has gone
in which, if accepted, would cut the
price not less than 8 cents; in fact.
Billy Gilberts bill for February only
calls for II cents per meal.
In response to a letter of inquiry the
city jailor of Denver has sent the fol-
lowing communication to Councilman
o. Meara:

But Few Changes During the
Past Week.
THE STRIKE AT MERCUR.
1T HAS GIVEN AN IMPETUS TO BUS.

Summary of Receipts of Ore and Bull
lion for the Past Week--An Inter-
estfng Article on Mining in Utah
Cutting off Stacks.

The past week has worked but few
changes in the mining situation. The
news received from Washington is not
of very reassuring nature, although
the friends of silver and lead have ex-
pressed themselves as being much
more confident of receiving some sort
of recognition which will relieve the
present congested state Of affairs.
Utah mine owners hope they may be
not mistaken, but are not building
their hopes very high. The continued
fluctuations Of silver are having a
very demoralizing effect and number
of the heaviest producers in the ter
ritory will probably close down in the
very near future should the promised
relief not come
Nothing new has been received from
the gold camps. except the report of
the rich strike in til Enterprise group
at Mercur, in which the real Mercur
vein was encountered at a depth of
200 feet. This has lent quite an impe-
tus to business in the camp and active
prospecting is being resumed with a
will.
The summary of bank receipts of
ore and bullion is as follows:

William P. O'Meara. ESQ:

Dear Sir:-Your favor of the 5th inst.
received the chief having referred it to
me to give you the information you ask
for. Our method of feeding prisoners is
by contract. We advertise for bids for
good substantial meals, and, of course,
the lowest bidder, if responsible, is
likely to get the contract. We have
been paying 10 cents per meal for a
number of years; this year the con-
tract price is cents. A meal CON
sists of bread, meat, potatoes and coffee
with soup and vegetables three times q
week. ell to be of good quality and suf-
ficiency We feed three meals a day.
The food is delivered at the jail cooked
and ready to be served.
Yours, etc.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Rhea and her company closed their en- =
gagement in this city last night to a good
mousse. The play presented was La
Gioconda," adapted from Victor Hugo'S
story, and preserving in its dialogue much
of the peculiar phraSeology OF that pecu-
liarly dramatic writer. The scene is laid
in Padua and is bristling with incident,
some of 1t of the most tragic character.
1t is really a play for only three or four
persons, the other parts being quite Subor-
dinate. La GiocOnda, herself and the
hunchback were the real centers of inter-
est, and in the hands of Rhea and Hart
thew were presented with great dramatic
force and intensity.
strong as is this admirable tragedienne
in the roles presented during her present
visit, she regards comedy rather than
tragedy, her real forte, and on her mex
appearance in this city will arrange TO
give at least one night OF pure comedy.
She will receive warm welcome at the
hands of the play -gOers Of San Antonio.
