coULpN,T SEE cITATIoNs.

Everyone in attendance at the after
moons session was pleased at the re-
suit, because 1t was known that Mr.
Dunn had sent out his citations without
showing them to the board, and entirely
on his own motion. J. G. Mischler even
went so far as to state openly that he
had been in the auditors office several
times to see the citations, but with no
avail. Gov. Lind also stated that he
would have liked to have seen the cita-
tions.
4ne committee on mines will report 30
the board this afternoon, and whatever
the report may be- it is expected that
it will be adopted in toto. The commit
tee has full and complete information
with regard to the mines, due to Gov
Lind and his assistants, and it will soon
be seen that the committee at least will
not refuse. to use concise and correct
information. The auditor, some say
thinks the governor has been pernicious-
ly active, and that his preserves have
been meddled with. A member of the
board remarked yesterday that every
thing comes out in the wash''
Amongst other business done by the
board, a resolution was passed, citing the
Little Falls Electric and Water companP
to appear before the board Friday and
show cause why its assessment should
not be raised.
Mr.. Hendricks stated that he had a let
ter from st. Cloud citizens asking for d
hearing to protest against the raise made
on St. Cloud merchandise. On mo-
ton by Mr. Hendricks, a resolution was
passed authorizing the committee to ap-
pear before the board at any time it de-
sires.
The committee having in charge the as
sessment of the street car lines operated
by the Twin City Rapid Transit company
will make its report to the board today.
F. G. Mcmillan, just before the close Of
the session, proposed that the raise of
S5 1-3 per cent made on Minneapolis ele-
vators- some days ago be taken off, con-
tending that the elevators were taxed for
more than their actual value The as
sessment was placed at the old figure.

Spain IL Better OFF.

The industrial awakening which
Spain has experienced in the past IS
months. indeed since the fates of war
took from her shoulders the troubles
of colonization aud transferred them
to the United States, seems to indicate
that the once great kingdom has
shaken off her Jonah at last. Electric
street railways are now under con-
struction at Valencia and Barcelona.
and the march of progress is every
where apparent. The construction
of public highways is being pushed;
railways are being extended and new
equipment bought, and factories are
being established all over the country.
These many new industries and the
stimulus given to agriculture and
mining have resulted in a demand
for a vast quantity of tools, imple-
ments and supplies. Without thought
of distant possessions to keep the
public mind in a state of excitement
and anxiety, country now living
within itself and for its own people,
the Spaniards are more contented and
happy than they have been for CEN
turtles. The outcome of the war with
the United States. humiliating as it
was. has seemed like a blessing in
disguise to Spain, and the same des-
tiny that is proclaimed as having
placed the white mans burden in the
keeping of Uncle Sam has apparently
given unto Spain a new birth unto
Righteousness.

THE threat of Maj. Rathbone, at

BRISIsH troops are now endeavoring

tains about 15C. 600 600 millions of

shrewd one no doubt. and surely this
is being done to the interest of no

teaches that England has habit of

his diggings some specimens that
looked well and an assay was ordered.
Returns showed $l45 in gold and SIS

fully Justified. Other assays have
been made but none 70 rich - the
