for county purposes 3 1-3 cents on prop
erty and 10 cents ON the poll below the
amount they were authorized to levy,
because the county expenses did not re-
quire the full levy. With this reduced
levy they paid every claim and expenses
against the county as soon as presented.
No man ever waited minute or was
put off for the payment of any county
order during the Democratic administra-
ton. They were accepted as cash at
face value anywhere. In 1896 the full
levy was restored in order to meet the
cost of said buildings. The experience
of the Democratic board in those years,
and in 1896, demonstrated that the au-
thorized regular levy was sufficient to
meet the current expenses of the county
and also make the payments on said
buildings as they became due. Yet in less
than two months after the county was
put in charge of the fusion board with
$T00 to start on, all expenses and all
matured Indebtedness paid, and no IN
debtcdness to become due in nearly
twelve months, the new board had pro-
cured the Legislature to pass "A bill au-
thoriziHg them to levy special tax and
county orders were ut a discount on the
streets.
r. Harrison lays claim to q great
achievement in Saving the county $749,
open on the books for which the county
held cancelled vouchers" These Were
merely accounts allowed to various par
ties by the board to whom the clerk of
the board had issued county orders, but
| inadvertently omitted the mark issued
| against the amounts on the minutes of
the board. There was no probability of
Mi lin of IN
boz these orders issued again, and even
if they had, the county was certainly
we'll fortified against the danger with the
cancelled vouchers in hand. 1t would
have been a very incompetent treasurer
that would have paid a duplicate order
with the original in his hands cancelled.
He also mentions collecting $4S4 from
the ex-register of deeds on marriage IL
| cense. AS matter of course, it being
the end of his term, the register had
20 make settlement of all public moneys
received during his term. as any other
officer. There was nothing to do but
count the licenses issued and credit him
with the amounts he had paid and thus
ascertain the balance due by him. This
was done and that balance paid in five
minutes after the account was stated
and approved by the Board of Commits
si0ners.
| But I do not see that these two last
;+o~- bear upon the question of the
! county script being at a discount, except
| TO show that the new board should have
| been 81 200 more able to pay county or
ders. Yours truly,

The waters of the Lithia Springs I
are ordorless, free from color, with 4
pleasant saliney taste, rather 4
palatable. When taken in consid- 4
cradle quantity, they do not nause- 4
ate, purge, or produce any feel 4
ing of discomfort. l find from the
analysis of the waters, they con-
tain Chloride Sodium, Carb. Pot
ash, Carb. Soda, Carb. Lithia,
Carb. Iron and Sulphate Magnesia.
These waters act directly upon the
mucous coating of the stomach and
alimentary canal, they are power
fully Alternative and tonic. They are 4
everything to inflamed or irritated 4
surfaces. They act upon the blood, 4
changing it from acid to alkaline.
In Indigestion, Catarrh of Stomach 4
andGastralgia, supplemented with
proper diet, they are a certain
cure. The action upon the kid
neys is marked. The Sodium,
Potash. Soda. Lithia. are the best
solvents of uric acid, all calculi of
an acid character, whether litary
or cystic, are steadily dissolved. I
am confident that the profession
will find it very useful in cases
where this class of water is re-
quired. ]. Q. Wilbur, M. D.

Cooperative Mining.

An organization has lately been
formed in this city under the laws OF
the State, called the COOPERATIVE
Mining Co., for the purpose of buying
and selling mining stocks. Z. H.
Carlyon is President, B. S. Scott, Vice
President; Geo. f. Thompson, Score.
tary, and d. l.. Hill, Treasurer. The
capital stock is placed at $4,000. In
shares of 81 each.
The cost of shares is placed thus
low to enable everybody with few
dollars to invest to avail themselves OF
its advantages. The plan is to hold
the proceeds of sale of stock until
sufficient sum is on hand to pur-
chase for cash such mining interests as
the association may deem the most
desirable for profits. The capital OF
the association being distributed over
a large number of ventures, it is
hardly probable that any loss will re.
suit from investments made by ap.
proval of the board of trustees.
The stock of the company is fully
paid up and none assessable. Each
share has face value of one dollar
and no matter what the price may bt
at which ground-foor" shares are
sold, each share will participate in al
dividends of profits at its face value
Profits will be credited on the actua
stock in the hands of investors, anG
not upon the authorized capital.
This is, in brief, the plan on which
the association has been formed. A
considerable amount of stock has al
ready been sold, and agents are inves.
tigating the several mining centers in
this State and British Columbia, with
a view of investment. 1t seems to an
impartial observer that this is about
the safest scheme yet devised for Sc.
curing certain and satisfactory returns
from speculation in mining property.
The company's office is room 4
