Buchanan, to whom was referred the

regard to the disposition of street sweep
ings and other municipal refuse, has an
swered the questions by mail Secretary
Wilson sent three letters-to the heads
of the street department, the garbage
department and the sewer department.
The object of the secretary's inquiry was
to learn how far these departments
might be depended upon to furnish fer
tilizers that would be of practical use
to farmers. Mr.. Buchanan replied that
there was a demand from growers for
all manure taken from the streets. This
is sold by the wagon load at the rate of
SO cents per yard. Mr.. Washburn, to
whom was referred the communication
in regard to sewers, is engaged in max
Ing a careful estimate which will not
be ready for ten days or two weeks. He
says that there is no doubt that Pasa-
dena's sewer farm will more than pay
sewer expenses in a few years.

The Greenlead mine is once again in
trouble, and this time it has been shut
down, and all the men discharged and
a constable is now in charge. The men
claim they were unceremoniously or
dered off the grounds Thursday by this
constable, and that Furthermore they
got no pay for work done. The owners
of the mine, Messrs. Dickey and Sim
mons, claim that they are being robbed,
and that the mine is not given fair
chance to show what it would do. That
it Is being jobbed in order that they will
become discouraged and sell out. That
the mine is a good one they have no
doubt, as they have had an expert eX
anime the mine in the guise of a laborer,
and he expressed himself to the effect
that the mine is good one if properly
handled. 1t is also claimed that the
receiver, Thomas Hadden, who was ac-
ceptable to both sides, did not give the
owners a fair deal, but placed as super
intendent man who was hostile to the
interests of the owners. The case will
probably go into the courts for the pur-
pose of securing an injunction against
the mine being sold BY the receiver.

ket price 50h cents to obtain an income
equal to that on its 1897 output of silver.
Every cent that silver declines in price
per ounce means a loss to the Anaconda
of $54,3SS, on basis of last years output.
During 1896 the Anaconda produced
nearly one-third of all the silver pro-
duced in the state of Montana. 1t would
require very nearly the entire silver out
put at present prices of bullion to pay
the Anaconda dividends of $3,O00,000 per
annum. Both the argentiferous and au-
riferous yield Of the Anaconda were
somewhat less in 1896 than in 1895, not
withstanding an increase of over 25,OO0,-

Last year the output of silver of Ana
conda mines amounted to 5,433,S26
ounces. Comparing the commercial
value Of silver, which is 5015 cents, with
that of year ago, when it was 6S11a
cents, it is seen that the shrinkage in
price on the Anaconda's production Of
argentiferous product alone, quality
equal to that for 1896, would be $97S, 1888.
This is equal to fully els Of cent per
pound on 125.OOO.0O0 pounds of copper.
The Anaconda has been getting out
a very large copper product lately that

are fitted and arranged for an enormous
production and no curtailment in out
put should be expected. AS it has de-
pended upon the silver and gold from its
mines to furnish the bulk, If not all Of
the profits with the decline in bullion

have to produce 1.SS5,9oO ounces more
