about $50 per ton. On the first day of
the present month according to the re-
port of the state inspector of mines
there were Al individuals and corpora
tions shipping ore from the Potsdam
ores. This does not indicate the num-
ber of mines that are shipping as sew
eral of the individuals and corpora
tions are owners of more than one pay
ing mine. Since the 1st of December,
1896, about Is additional mines have
been added to the list of dividend pay
ers; all of them are in the Ragged Top
district. The number of mines now
shipping ore from the Po.sdam and
carboniferous ore bodies and paying
dividends is probably near 100. Were
there local reduction works for the
treatment of low grade ores several
hundred dividend payers could be
added to the list.

CITY COUNCIL PRoCEED1NGs.

Considers Communication from the
Mayor Relative to the City Auditor.
The city council met in adjourned
session to take up business left upfin-
ished at its last meeting. All the al
dermen and the mayor we're present.
Upon the call of order the mayor said
there would be no rollc as there was
no official to act in that capacity. He
then read lengthy communication
addressed to the council by himself
in which he declares the Office of city
auditor to be vacant by virtue of the
power in him vested as mayor. The
first part of the communication cited
sections of the sessions laws of 1890
show ing the right of the mayor to dis
charge for cause any Off cial appointed
by him. Another section of the laws
says no one shall be eligible to city
office who is in any way interested in
the disbursement of the city funds.
The latter part of the communication
recited the causes by which the mayor
was melted to the action taken.
Among them is the connection of the
auditor sought to be removed with the
w bCOAS AtSAV 0AO GOWoI SOulkd uye
AS superintendent of that company,
interested as the company is in more
than half of the city's disbursements,
he cannot as auditor serve the best in
terests of the city and at the same
build up his company's business, the
interests of the municipality and the
corporation being diametrically OPP
posed.
When the communication was sub
mitted and before any action was taken
s. E. Wilson, in behalf of Mr.. Parks,
asked that its consideration be
postponed until such time as
Mr.. Parks could be present. Mr..
Wilson said that just before rising to
speak he had been informed by Mr..
Parks physician that he had light
fever which came upon him early in
the afternoon and made it impossible
for him to attend. The mayor and
council agreed to Mr.. Wilson's request
and soon adjourned without transact
ing any business, until Jan 18th.
One Of the alderman asked the city
attorneys legal opinion as to whether
the position Of the mayor was tenab3e
and in reply he cited the decision Of
the supreme court in . case almost
parallel and identical, which Is author
ity for the mayors action.

Speaking about the stampede to
Ragged Top and the boom of the rival
towns at that camp the Deadwood
Pioneer says: "The growth of Bal
moral and Preston has been something
remarkable. New buildings may be
seen in all stages of development, and
the sound of the hammer and saw is
almost deafening. Saloons are open
night and day, and many transients
can find no place else to lodge at night.
Frank Hitch who recently came from
Hot Springs, started dance hall in
Balmoral, back of the Monte Carlo
saloon, Friday morning and expects to
open for business today (Monday).
Many of the buildings of the place have
been built upon the mushroom order,
although there are some very substan-
tial houses"

THE COUNTY's SERVANTS.
New Faces in Old Pl,.ces-Thc Staran ON,
cial Paper.

cial Paper.
The STAR takes pleasure in calling
the attention of its readers to the Off
cial proceedings of the county COM
missioners. published in this paper
the first time for several years. The
Dennis as commissioner. succeeding \.
j. Colgan in the third district. made
the STAR one of the official papers of
the county. The new officers qualified
under the new board at it's first meet
ing. The story of the struggle and it's
results, together with some of the char
acteristics of the officers elected, has
already appeared in the columns of
this paper. The STAR, however, takes
this opportunity of extending greeting
to the fortunate ones. They are all So
we'll known that little more than
mention of their names is necessary.
j. l.. Burke's large majority attested
the confidence reposed in him as sue
cessor to himself as lord of the county
eNchequer. Tom Wells, although he
is on the other side of the political
garden wall, is nevertheless an eff
cient officer aud his genial nature will
make him Il frequent player in our
yard. o. B. Chesley remains with him
"a while as deputy. w. w. Smithson
did not qualify as register of deeds as
his term as auditor does not expire
until March l w. H. Stanley is one of
the new officers. the commissioners
havingappointed him register of deeds
to hold until his term as county
auditor begins March 1. And Charlie
Eastman; he, too, was on the other
bandwagon; but that makes no differ
ence now. Being an attorney, his
sheriff's forms are exceptionally we'll
drawn and are always correct. And he
has hosts of friends, besides. Walter
Anderson is serving his second term
as guardian of the legal interests of
county, in which capacity his efficiency
entities him to come up higher when
he has finished his present service to
the people. In Mrs w. j. Thornby's
hands are placed the control of the
county's schools. She will perfect their
organization and develop and raise the
standard of education in them. Her
liberal education and progressive ideas
with her experience as teacher and
organizer make her an eminently fitted
superintendent of instruction. .sJudge'
Juckett sounds we'll, and is we'll. His
is an important office, for he must sit
in probate upon our estates when we
are dead and have gone to that borne
There are many other things, too, which
come before him for consideration
which require the exercise of his
knowledge of law. Over George Den
mis- election the enthusiastic republican
usually shakes hands with himself and
smiles, for he really had some doubts
at tirst-and then MIR. Dennis landed q
winner by only one. Mr.. Dennis has
had experience as commissioner be
fore, having served this county as such
several years ago. He takes up the
work as though there had been no in
terval.
