Meeting the old and New Water
Works.
In announcing the aspirants for the posi-
ton of city engineer at the recent election

mention of the fact that Mr. Percy sug-
den, who was an applicant, had served In
the office of the city engineer of Liverpool
before coming to this country and had
made a study of the water works depart
ment of that city. Chairman Dixon Of
the water commission saw the announce
ment and made a note of It.
When Mayor Meldrim expressed himself
himself as strongly in favor of connecting
the new water works with the old works,
and the river at as early a date as posi-
BILE for the purpose of assuring an unlim-
tied supply of water to the city Mr..
Dixon called Mr. Sugden into conference
and secured his ideas on this subject, and
also upon the subject of the artesian wa
ter supply. Finding that Mr. Sugden was
Informed on these subjects Mr.. Dixon in
quired what he would charge to make a
survey for conduit from the waterworks
10 the river, together with a blue print of
the survey and report on the artesian
wells. Mr.. Sugden's price was 500 and Mr..
Dixon instructed him to go ahead with the
work.
Mr. Sugden completed his report few
days ago and his bill approved by the
chairman was sent to the mayor. When
the bill reached. Mayor Meldrim he did
not understand it. and put II one side I'M
ill he could get an explanation from the
chairman of the water commission. The
two gentlemen had a conference yester-
day. and the mayor approved the bill. He
expressed his qualification at the disposi-
ton evidenced by the water commission
to cooperate with him in the work, he
suggested. The increase of the water
supply by the extension Of a conduit from
the works to the river at the site of the
old works. thus making connection with
the wells there, as well as with the river,
Is a matter which Mayor Meldrim be-
lieves TO be of great Importance to the
city, and to which he intends devotins
special attention.

Of work done by the company was
taken to Minneapolis. The company
paid a small amount for cleaning the
streets occupied by its lines, Of snow,
but, under it's franchises, 1t was also
responsible for part of the expenses
of sweeping the same streets. 1t APP
peared strange to him that any men,
Der of the council should try to OBJ
struct the passage of the resolution.
The treatment the city had been sub
1ected to by the company should cause
the resolution to be adopted by
unanimous vote. The action of the
assembly was concurred in by vote
Of 9 to 2, Aldermen Shepard and San
born being the only ones to vote
against the passage of the resolution.
The ordinance of Aid. Kenny desig-
mating Smith park as q public market
was favOrably reported from the COM
mittee on streets. A proviso was add
ed, however, that there should be no
alteration in the park until the rights
of the city to designate it as q public
market had been tested and decided by
the courts. The ordinance passed by
vote of to 4, those opposing its pas
sage being Aid. Bell, DOnahower, San
born and Shepard. Before the vote was
announced President Bigelow stated
that he was in doubt as to whether the
ordinance had received the necessary
number of votes. A consultation with
Corporation Attorney Markham follow
ed. and at its conclusion President
BigeloW announced that the ordinance
had not been properly before the alder
men. The president held that the
council had no right or jurisdiction to
interfere with the public parks, the
property being in control of the park
board, and any action would have to
first come from that branch Of the city
government. The mayor attempted to
have a resolution passed employing
for another month, or so, two pound
masters at $50 per month. The PROPOSE
ton was killed by a vote of to 4,
these favoring it being Aid. Bell,
Donahower, Larsen and Lindahl.
An audited resolution was passed for
the salary of Street Commissioner
Kjellberg for October, and also another
resolution fixing the salaries Of all Of
the street commissioners at SIS per
month for the balance of the year.
A final order was passed for the paw
ing with brick and asphalt Of Sher-
burne avenue. The board adjourned to
Monday evening, when the specifica-
items for gas and electric lighting for
1898 will come up for approval.

which Thackeray was so long the chief.
His work covers a wide range. H6
has written a fine and scholarly "HisA

trenchant criticism upon the various
attempts which have been made in
these latter days to found q scientific
system of morality. His "AgnOstlo

philosophical thinker, and he has writ
ten cOpiously in literary biography, be-
sides being the editor of the great Eng

NO HELP FOR noRGsTROM.
Supreme Court Says He Must Serve
His Sentence.

Peter J. Borgstrom, the ex-register of
deeds of St Louis county, according
to the decision of the supreme court
Yesterday, must serve out his sentence
Of one year in the saltwater prison,
and pay fine of $500, just as the low
er court decreed.
Borgstrom was indicted and convict
ed last spring of appropTiating fees
He appealed from sentence of the dis
trict court, first, on the ground that
the proceedings were Illegal, in that he
had been prosecuted by and attorney
appointed by the court, instead OF the
regular county attorney. who was
merely a spectator in the case, and
took no part whatever.
The supreme court holds that where
the county attorney was present dur
ing the whole term, and made no OBJ
lection to the appointment of the pros
ecuting attorney by the court, the ap-
pointment was valid, and the prosecu-
ton by the attorney authorized by
law.
The second plea was that the pun
ishment was unusual and cruel, and
a violation of article 1, section 5, Of
the constitution, which prohibits ex-
cessive fines, or cruel and unusual

The Abe Lincoln Mine Has Lots of

The Abe Lincoln Mine Has Lots of
Gold in 1t.
The Abe Lincoln mine continues to
show up very favorably. The Ross
land Miner, of last Wednesday. says:
The crosscut from the bottom of the main
shaft of the Abe Lincoln, on Deer Park noun
tain, continues to show up very favorably
The crosscut is now in about twelve feet,
and in that distance four promising stringers
of highgrade gold-copper ore have been met
These varied in width from three to eighteen
inches and the country rock between is well
mineralized. All the stringers seem to be
leading towards the footwall, towards which
the crosscut Is being driven, and 1t Is expected
considerable body of ore lies in that vicinity
The ore is made up of dark quartz heavily
streaked with chalcopyrites, and assays from
the crosscut run from $40 to $50. Specimens
of the chalcopyrite have returned unusually
high assays in copper. 1t is good concen-
trating proposition.
Five men are at work under the general
management of W. T. Mcdonald, while Albert
Bucheday is the foreman in charge. It Is
the intention to continue the present crosscut
until the footwau is reached, which, 1t Is
expected, will be within ten feet further
Then operations will be resumed sinking the
main shaft to the 1G0-foot level, and then a
crosscut will be started in search of the ore
body to which it is confidently expected the
present stringers lead.
