APPROPRIATION

Reductions Of Low Grade Ores.

Secretary Cages recommendation in his
annual report for the appropriation of $50
90 for the United States assay office In SEE
eftie s taken by those who are particularly
interested In the matter in this city as
virtual assurance that the appropriation
viii be made.
The secretary recognizes and emphasizes
tie growing importance of Seattle as a min
eras point. and IL il considered unlikely that
opposition will arise 10 any extent in con-
gress in alsot,iDg the amount Mr.. Gage sug-
gests

ering that the office has been in existence
only four months. ard has had most OF the
difficulties OF a new institution 70 contend
with. this is a very remarkable showing,
and In taken to Indicate beyond peradyen-
ture an eger-increasing business.

suing year the total Of precious minerals
handled by the office will Increase 10 S15.-

but there is 2 great lack OF room for safe
keeping and storing.
A building about 5exl0o feet. Il Is thought.
will he sufficient for all purposes, and
doubtless a lot OF somewhere near this size
will be sought
Senator Wilson has the matter OF the APP
preparation I'm hand in congress. and, L Is
understood. IL pr repaired to offer an independ-
emit bill should the item OF the Seattle as
say office be omitted from the regular APP
preparation bill.
While the funds for the assay Office ap-
pear to be fairly well assuerd and the pub
lie il disposed 10 congratulate itself In the
matter. there are some influential per-
sons who think that the appropriation
should be enlarged so as to provide for the
erection Of a refinery in connection with
the assay Office.
A refinery would enable Seattle TO hand .
all the low grade ores which now so TO
Omaha. Denver. San Francisco and other
points. The quantity of these ores Is great
and is constantly Increasing. The Republic.
the lie Roi the Treadwell and other great
mines where the cyanide process s Ia use
are obliged 10 ship their zinc mates over
long distances to the points above men
toned. They thereby lose the express
charges and Seattle loses the revenue
which might arise from handling the ores In
a refinery
The output OF the TreadweIl mines alone
Is s., oon,e@ 10 s2.50o.60 per year. That OF
the Republic and also Of the lie Roi s al
most as great. All the Southeastern Alas
ka mines are or the same nature. using
the cyanide process. and furnishing Il pred
net of 90 low grade that Il runs below the
minimum Of i!fiTftszs required for aSSaying.
The presence of n refinery n Seattle to
handle thess outputs. II Is held. would add
very Largely TO the material welfare of the
city.
No direct steps have as yet been taken
looking TO the securing Of such a refinery.
but Il is hoped that the new representa-
tives in congress WI take the matter up
and push IL to an early conclusion.

Presented at Meeting of Board Of
Health-Increased salary RECON-.
Deaths In the Several Wards.

City Health Officer Smith presented his
resignation 10 the board Of health at its
quarterly meeting yesterday afternoon. and
Assistant Health Officer VI. F. A. MoKech-
ne was elected 10 succeed him.
DR.. Smiths action was expected by the
beard. but was generally regretted. the
board taking SPECIAL pains 10 express TO
DR.. Smith its appreciation of his valuable
services while in office. The choice Of DIR.
Mckecnnie as successor was unanimous.
Ii was largely due TO his efficiency as
sistant TO DR.. Smith and to his zeal and
activity manifested during DIR. Smiths re-
cent absence from the city. The board
has every confidence in the new appontee.
Drs. Horton. Newlands. Anes and Smith,
the full board. were in attendance at the
meeting, which was held in the offices OF
President Horton. Health reports for Sep
TENDER. October and November were read.
resolutions were passed suggesting that in
order TO secure the services OF a properly
qualified plumbing inspector the minimum
salary Of such an inspector be made $50
per month. and the services OF T. j. Nc
Cory as assistant sanitary inspector be
dispensed with.
The health reports for the three months
were considered unusually interesting, as
showing the good results Of prompt and
systematic action of the health authorities
In controlling the spread OF contagious dis
ously noted in the Post-Intelligencer. diph-
liberia broke out very suddenly and in a
somewhat threatening manner at the OPEN
ing of the schools in September and at the
beginning of the rainy season. From the
small number of seven cases in July, the
total jumped in September to twenty-four,
and in October 10 twenty-eight.
Vigiant action by the department in the
application of quarantine and the extended
use of the anti-tox:n treatment by physi-
clans brought the disease under control.
and the month of November closed with a
total of only fifteen cases. On the day OF
November 30 there were only four
cases prevalent. The total number of
deaths from diphtherIa for the three
months was ten.
From September to November the death
rate decreased rapidly. In September 1t
was 1ol1 per thousand of population for
the year. In October il fell to 7.SS per
thousand In November 1t reached the low
average OF 6.s5 per thousand. foreshadow-
Ing the remarkably low rate for the calen-
dar year of 9.41 per thousand.
The deaths were distributed according to
sex as follows:
