ROME, Dec. 31.-The municipal
ownership act, which the italian par
Lament has just passed, does not at
once put all the street railway COM
panies of Italy under public control.
1t is merely an enabling act which
cities can take advantage of or not
as they please. The various things
which Italian cities can do under
the new law are the building of ac-
uueducts and distribution of water,
gas and electric lighting, street
car lines, production and distribu-
ton OF hydraulic and electric power,
telephones bakeries. SO as to keep the
price Of bread uniform to the poor:
institution OF baths and washhouses.
slaughter houses, lodging houses and
repositories for the sale of seeds,
roots and bulbs,
TO take up any or all of these pub
lie services the proposition must be
presented and approved by the COM
munal council and then submitted
to II committee of the province. which
must defer II to tho project, and
finally II must be examined by a
special royal commission. II In all
these different examinations the pro-
ject is approved. II must then be
submitted to the people OF the city
In referendum. II the vote is IA
vorable the work can then be un-
dertaken. This is the first instance
In Italian law In which the princi-
pie of the referendum has been in
troduccd.
Should the referendum IN any case
be unfavorable the particular project
cannot be presented again for three
years. For the services already In
tho hands OF private individuals or
companies tho law allows the muni-
cipalities to break up the existing
contract upon giving five years no.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS APPLIED


may borrow money for public
ownership undertakings from the
government at 3 per cent. provided
that the interest together with that
OF any other loan, shall not exceed
onetfth of the municipal income,
The generel idea back of the new
law is to take advantage of the
growth of Italian cities. At present.
except in few instances, franchises
are not especially valuable and the
municipalities can buy them in at
low rates and themselves have ad-
vantage of any unearned increment
there may be.
1t is thought that this will work
more to the public good than by al
lowing great fortunes to accumulate
In private hands through franchise
holdings That the franchises will
soon be very valuable Is shown by
recent increases in population. In
tho ten years between 1891 and 1901
the population spf Milan Increased at
the rate of 81 per cent. in Rome rs
per cent and In Spexia 81 per cent.
Other cities. with the possible excep-
tion of Venice. are increasing almost
as rapidly. AS Venice. in the nature
OF things. has no street car lines
and can have none. 1t does not enter
into the present calculation.
The growth In the cities has been
followed by decrease OF population
In the country. In 2lti rural town
ships in Italy there has been a de-
crease in ten years OF $4,000. In
many cases the percentage OF de-
crease has ranged from 90 TO 40.
This is partly explained by emigra-
ton TO the United States and partly
by the movement OF people toward
tho towns on account OF the new
manufacturing enterprises springing
up there. Comparatively speaking.
Italy Is now prosperous and the gov
eminent finances are In better shane
than since the fail Of Rome. In 1870.

A TRAGEDY OF MINING.


Bones Of a Noted Prospector Found 10 the
Devils playground
After $ years If mystery the
strange disappearance p Amer Lee,
the uo,-.uu, cld piospectcr who
diScoNcrCa ih famous Lee silver
mine, go miles northeast of San
Bernardina. Cal, las at last been
solved, says The san Francisco Ex-
aminer.
Lee was the most famous pros
pector Of his time. In 1865 he To-
Gated those claims known as the
Lee mines which subsequently
brought fortune Of 100000 to
Gov. r, w. Waterman, of California.
Soon after discovering these rich sill
yer properties he disappeared into
the desert and was never seen again.
A great deal Of excitement was oc-
casioned by Lees withdrawal from
the world, and it was suggested more
than once that he had been foully
done away with by INSCRIPTIONS per-
sons who wished to gain possession
of his property. Others thought the
Piute Indians, who then raided the
desert, had killed him and burned the
remains.
Now the riddle has been solved and
the skeleton of old Abner Lee, the
bones Of bis burros, his "washpan"
and an old mining pick bearing his
name on the handle have been found
in the Devils playground 10y Jim
Moran, a desert freighter plying be-
tween Fenner, on the Santa Fe road,
and Resting Spring Branch, at the
head of Death valley. The shifting
sands which covered Lee have given
back their dead, the miners are
cleared of obloquy and the bones Of
the prospector have been given de-
cent burial on the crystalline shores
of Soda lake
According to Lees story at the
time land subsequently VERIFIED,
there were vast lodges Of surface ore
in sight Of precisely the same quality
as the ore which from time to time he
brought in on his burros. He was
very secretiye about the location Of
his mine, and those whom he took in
to his confidence were under strict
pledge to reveal nothing.
Among these was r. w. Water
man, who afterward became governor
of California. Mr.. Waterman was
at that time a struggling lawyer. For
ten years after Lees disappearance
nothing was heard of the properties
| Then a big expedition was organized
in San Bernardino in search for the
abandoned claims. Under the guild
ance of two prospectors, who claimed
to know something of the locality
and who had heard where lay the Lee
silver, the party went almost imme-
diately to the mines.
But upon their arrival they found
Waterman guarding the property
with a Winchester rife. He had
been in possession for two hours. lie
had driven out to the claims in a
blackboard. For more than Is years
Waterman held a controlling inter
est in the Lee mines, and it is esti-
mated that during that time more
than So, 900, 900 in ore was taken ont
Dark hints were cast in regard Ia
Waterman by those who considered
he must have known the locality
Now the finding Of Lees body clears
the air The ex-governor has been
dead several years. Since the depre-
citation Of silver bullion the mines
have been idle, but the old story OF
Abner Lee is often repeated by the
desert prospectors.
