Last nights meeting Of the city council was one long to be remembered. It bris- tied with incidents from start to finish. and at times it certainly looked sdually. It was the most tumultous municipal meeting ever held in the council cham bcrs of the Key City. But through it an, no personal violence was indulged in.
 After the roll call. which showed that Mayor Woodruff. Aldermen Andrews, McGrath. Hcnton and Conway were pres cnt and Alderman Guthrie absent. the battle started.
 Bills were submitted by ways and means committee from Britt. the phar- macist and Wm. Leslie. thet no action was taken on. Britts bill contained an item for one ink well. the price of which, g. was considered more than the council fclt warranted in paying for m ink stand for the city treasurer. and Loslie's hin for StI5 was considered out of pro- portion. SO they were held over.
 In regard to the mixed up condition Of the old school boards accounts it was apparent from the discussion held be-  Frank and Van Clcv-. who were also present. that it will be a long time be- fore they can be strllghtcned out, If at alt. Alderman Andrews stated the din culty laid back of Mir Anderson's term of office. and that they had not been able Co get back all of the vouchers pre- sented to Mir. Anderson. There Is diff ference of SsjO existing somewhere. bat lust where. has not been definitely point ed out.
 Mir. Van Clevc asked 1T an vouchers handled by Mir Anderson were now in Che hands of Mir. McDonald. and Mfr An- jrcws replied that they were.
 Mr. Van Cleyc; Does that Include everything that Mir. Anderson handlody
 Mir. Andrews: "No. not everything"
 Mir. Van Clevc stated that Mir Burns and Mir. Anderson once checked over the books during Mir Anderson's final Illness and that there was an SIS difference then.
 The matter was ogain referred to the -ways and means committce in the hope that they may bc able to ind wherc the trouble lays.
 Mir. IIcnton said it were doubtful it anyone could be held accountable foi errors occurring before Mir Anderson took charge. as the books and figures oi Mir. Peterson had been accep'ed.
 Mayor Woodruff remarked hat 1T the errors were made prior 10 sir Anderson's appointment there would be no use ln following the matter up furthor but h my mistakes had been made by Mir An- derson it ought Co be easy to. rectify them.

Captain F. c. Austin. one of tho pion- cer prospcctors of Southeastern Alaska. has returned to Seattle. During the earlier portion of the present season Capt. Austin was operating at Porcuplne City. but more recently he has been In and around Kctchikan. Speaking Of the season and the developments of that DOT ton of the territory this morning he said;
 "Porcupine City Is now the most prom- sing placer camp in Southeastern Alas ka. There are two finds across the Inter national boundary line, Bear creek and Clear creek. which have seen rushes this year. but I do not think they will turn out to be moro than good hydraulic ground. At Porcuplne a number ot operators have been getting good pay all season or at least were until the storm of September which considerably inter fcrrd with the operations for the season.
 'The quartz properties around Ketchi- kan are quite promising. There is noth- Ing thcre yet winch is sufficiently well de- veloped to.be called mine. but several shipments were made this season and one mill Is now being built, that of the Sea Level Mining Company which is composed chiefly of Seattle men, while a second will be put in by Robert Allison on his properties on Taku Arm next spring"
