Goegelein; deacons, William Juergens,
Leonard Gockstetter and Henry Bohle-
mann. The first three officers were
unanimously reelected.
The congregation has abandoned
the idea of erecting a new church
building in the First ward, on account
of the proposed new additions for the
Riverside mill in this part of the city.
The present church building will be
handsomely improved and made to
serve the needs of the congregation to
the best possible advantage for the
time being. The trustees have been
instructed to accept bids for the work
of repairing and refurnishing the old
building. The interior of the edifice
is to be frescoed, furnished with new
carpet and fitted out with electric
lights.

The public is hereby notified that the
Directors OF this Company at meet
ing held March s, 1900, unanimously
resolved that after March II, 1900, the
books of the Company be closed for
the sale of stock at so cents per share

Parties desiring stock at the price

The superintendent recent reports
state that in one mine alone, at a
depth of As feet, we are getting copper
ore of the average value of $500 per
ton, and assays from this mine made
in Arizona, Pittsburg and Wheeling,
run as high as $500 per ton in copper
alone. $1,000 to s11.00 per ton pays to-
tai cost of mining and hauling to the
smelter.
The present width of the vein is five
and a half feet 1t is estimated by
expert miners that this mine will
reach a depth of 400 feet before the
copper ore therein is exhausted, and
that its width as well as the percent
age of copper. will gradually increase.
We are also advised on good authority
that our claims in Graham county. Ar

Mining District.
Stock is held exclusively by parties
