speaking of the work Of that body
says: .. :,

ANYTHING toward retrenchment. Will
say the special joint committee IS ano
mas been hard AT work. At the first
meeting the committee was III
thorough accord and sub committees
were appointed in the various
branches OF the work. There are
tnirJy seven bills and resolutions be
fore this commiutee-Some have been
reported. The work is hard, but the
committee have approached it with
zeal and earnesruessS. This WORK
cannot be done in a hurry; one
change in our complex system often
necessitates dozen others, and The
subcommittee are hard at work
reconciling conflicting ideas III
the bills which have been
introduced. One member of the
oody, who has given special
study to u certain branch of the
subject has been sick and this has
peen the cause of some delay. This
General assembly knows that the
party is committed to retrenchment
and the people demand it. The duty
OF this body is TOO plain to need com
uent. The bills already reported
troln the special joint committee, i
nave been informed by those who
nave made the estimate, will save the
tax payers about seventy five thous-

FROM SILVER BELL.

From l.. B. Lewis of Silver Bell the Star learns that the Charley Nelson smelter is turning cut three tons of pure copper bullion daily from ore taken from the Old Boot mine. He has an inexhaustible supply of ore and of good grade. He has utilized the old Columbia shelter which many thought was no better than scrap iron. He E employing thirty-five men, all told, for supplying ore and operating the furnace.
 The developments on the Young America have produced several thou sand tons of copper ore which average, it is said, about seven per cent The tunnel which has been run 400 feet has cut the ore body at a depth of 50S feet from apex of the vein.
 Nat Faison's Silver Hill copper mine has developed a vast ore body which is showing extremely rich in gold and sil- yer as we'll as copper. A solid vein fifteen feet wide is claimed to be the interesting sight Of the Silver Hill. It is said the Copper Queen is negotiating for this property. Nat says S75,000 cold cash will make the purchase, but not a cent less.-Star.
