The work Of the board reveal

the ballots as counted by the off,

the returns mada oa April 4th
except in the third ward where
one ballot, which evidently had
not been counted for, either side
on election day on account of its
marking, was counted for Mr.,
Palmer, giving him a majority
of four in the city, instead of
three, as shown by the returns
on election day, while the vote
accorded Mr.. Thompson remain,

Thus it will be seen that the

a. Hurley, and was considered
Que of the ablest and most prom
inent men at the bar and a lead
ing and iuf1uentisl citizen.
He was married in September,
1873, to MISS Nellie E. Butler, q,
Hurley, Wis. who with their sur
viying children, Satie L., now II
New York, and Edith, now al
home, survive iim.
In 1893 he moved from Hurley
to Virginia, MIMI. and there en-
fgaged in the practice of his pro.
fession, starting in with a very
promising practice. In June o1
fthat year Virginia was totally
destroyed by fire, and he lost
much of his earthly possessions,
including his valuable library.
Prior to this time he met with
a serious afliction in the loss OF
three of his children carried off by
the same dread disease. pneumo
MIA, of which the father just
died. To loving, affectionate
nature like his, this was q sad
blow.
IN 1893 he came west and on
March 9th, 1898. he bought a
home in Vinelaud, his family fol.
lowing in September, and settled
down to improve it. AS oppor-

construction over the Snake, the
duties of which he was discharg-

At the time of his death he was
a member of the Masonic order

of kind, generous impulses, and
strongly attached to his family.
The funeral will take place at
his late residence in Vineland at
2 p. m. on May 9th, and the re

THs NEW STEEL sHAFr ar AURORA
Mining men will be interested
in the following description OF
the new steel shaft at the Aurora
mine, Ironwood, from Mines and
Minerals: l.
The shaft is q vertical one,
seven feet three inches by e,gh
teen feet three inches inside OF
timbers, divided lnt, three com
partments. the tive at, the ends
being for' balanced cages; and
the~one in the middle for ladder
road and pipes, and is designat.
ed as ga shaft. This shaft is
being sunk to take care of new
lense of ore which was found by
diamond drilling below the bot
tom, or twelfth level. The shaft
is to be 1900 feet in vertical
depth from the surface, and it is
proposed to equip this part Of
the mine so as to economically
hoist q large output through this
one shaft.
The headframe is the first steel
headframe to be installed in the
Lake Superior district, and is re.
markable as showing the advance
in reduction of cost and improve
ment in design in steel structural
work, which enables the builders
to compete successfully in using
steel for q structure of this kind
in a district where the best of
timber is 50 near at hand. The
headframe was furnished by the
Wellman Seaver Engineering
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio,
and has macy novel and interest.
ing features. The metal is so
disposed of in the structure as to
give the ffestrossible construc-
ton, and the whole structure is
securely braced and anchored to
the foundation. A convenient
trolley arrangement is provided
for handling the sheave wheels,
and the ropes are arranged so as
to lead to the machinery located
atathssend%sofs the shaft. ,ns.ead
of at the broadside of same, as is
usually the case.
The hoisting plant. manufac-
tured by the Webster, Camp &
Lane Machine company, of Ak
ron, Ohio, is one of the largest
first motion types, having heavy
duty engines 20 inch bore by 42
inch stroke, and with hosting
drums 6 feet in diameter, with a
total face of 9 feet, having a ca
pacity for 1900 feet maximum
depth.
These engines are especially
designed for handling with the
greatest economy of steam large
quantities of ore in mines where
the cavlng system is used in
which the ore is only taken from
two or three levels at time. the
other levels being closed in by
the caving system, thus a greater
depth is attained.
The Improvements embodied in
this plant enable the mine opera
tor to handle the same amount
of ore with q smaller drum and
smaller pair of engines. from as
great a depth, and still have the
same degree of economy, as Cor
llss engines are used with auto
matte cut off. controlled by a
governor.
The successful working of the
hosting plant in actual practice
fully demonstrates the practica-
bility of this new arrangement
of drums, which is of interest to
all operators of mines having
large bodies of ore to be handled
cheap]y, or to coal miners having
more than one seam of coal to be
worked from the same shaft.
The entire plant is installed in
a very substantial manner, the
hoisting engine being enclosed
