the Minnesota avenue sewer. Quite
a large delegation of representative
business men appeared before the
council and objected to the sewer
leading into the Redwood river just
above the Burmeister dam, and con
sequently at the head of the lake,
arguing that, while the water OF the
lake might in no manner be seri-
ously polluted by the outlet, yet
there was a possibility of such be-
ing the case and the city could not
afford to injure the prospects OF the
lake beinga great recreation ground
for it's citizens and visitors by turn
ing the sewer into the head waters.
They even argued that it would be
better to postpone action on the
construction Of the sewer than to
construct it on the proposed plans.
AS a result of the arguments set
forth the members OF the council
announced that they were of the
same opinion, and it is possible that
the Minnesota avenue sewer will
not be constructed this year.
The council then took up the mat
ter of poll tax and decided to levy
poll tax of 50 on each legal voter
between the ages of p and so years,
the same to be paid in at the rate of
10 cents per hour.

Saturday Evening Post.
Gov. S. r. VanSant, of Minnesota,
whose attack on the Western rail
road merger has given him promi-
nence, attended family reunion at
the VanSant home in Leclaire, Iowa,
recently, the occasion being the 92d
birthday anniversary ofthe Govern
or's father In the afternoon the
dinner party drove over the tri-
cities Davenport, Iowa, Moline,
and Rock Island, Illinois) where
Governor VanSant spent his boy
hood.
The carriage in which the Gov
ernor sat was bowling along a
street in the lower part of Rock Is
land when Mr.. VanSant suddenly
jumped up from his seat and cried !:
"There it is! There it is! Stop
the carriage, Toni
The driver reined up, surprised; !;
but without word Of explanation
Governor VanSant leaped from the
carriage and ran into the yard of a

brink of the old oaken bucket well
and leaned over.

The house where the Governor
and his brother were born has been
removed, but the old we'll remained,
though the changes in the street
has made it nearer the sidewalk than

the VanSant party had not recog.

EDDY'S REIORT.

Wife in the Saturday Evening Post.
Well, Eddy has nimble tongue and

oleomargarine and was having
great fun over it. Do we care for
yellow bread or yellow potatoesY
he thnndered. DO we care for any

And do we pay more for a yellow

Here he was interrupted by a
member utterring audlbly some
thing about having heard the gen

improved Nordberg, has been shipped
from the makers and should arrive in

The gallows frame is steel and will be

be built Just below tho double compart-

Copper will have to drop much lower
before it reaches the danger point at
which these companies cannot safely
operate. In fact the Arizona Copper
company made copper years ago at less
than cents. and never did close down.
The Detroit Copper Mining company,

copper. Most mines in America will

the companies OF this district have
reached a point where dividends can
not be paid. With the exception OF
possibly Jerome, which is phenomen-
ally rich property, copper can now be
made cheaper in this district than in
almost any other section Of the United
States, hence our people have but little
10 fear from the price OF copper. or
course the present price may affect
contemplated improvements and in
this way cause period OF dull times.

claim that it cannot long remain at

THE trouble with the copper market
at the present time is not exactly due
to an over production as it IS to an IN
der consumption. but the result is
practically the same. The fact is that
the production has declined for the
pat three years, and If Europe had re-
manned in its normal condition the
slump would not have occurred. Tele-
graphic dispatches from Holland and
Germany state that many soup houses
nave been establIs ed, and that in
some OF the larger towns the Salvation
Army are feeding as many as 5000
working men who are out Of employ
ment. England is in just about as bad
Il tx As the rest of them. All Europe
is experiencing the hardest times in
many years. The United states seems
10 be about the only really prosperous
country AT the present time. How long
this depression will last is question
not easily answered, and must to
great extent affect this country.

A DISPATCH from indianapolis says
that a canvass Of the result OF the dem
ocratic district election shows that a
state committee favorable to the com
plete retirement Of Organism and the
silver issue was chosen. Coneidera bic
sentiment in favor OF the nomination
of Schley for president exists in In
diana. Among the younger element
this feeling is particularly strong. An
embarrassing circumstance, however.
is the ability Of the young democrats
to discover just what tho politics of
the admiral is. His nephew, John
Schley, lives in indianapolis, but he
processes not to know the political
leaning OF his uncle. He says that as
far as he knows his uncle never voted,
ana he has never heard him express any
political convictions.

PRODUCTION
OF MINERALS.
In Colorado This Year Satisfactory,
Though Below Last Year.

Denver. Dec. 3I.-At noon today
,.arefully gathered records recently in
preparation were completed. showing
the mineral production OF the state OF
Colorado when the year closes tonight.
The statement is not altogether salts
factory. The output Of gold, silver,
lead, and copper, so far as values go, is
lcss than last year, the values being
during 1900 nearly fifty millions, while
this year they will not quite reach
forty-six millions.
In round figures the total value OF
gold is tuenty-six millions, OF silver
ten millions and a half. OF lead six
millions AID half, and OF copper one
million and 4 half.
The tonnage. so far as production
goes has been much more than last
year but the grade has been much low
or aud the values less.
Cripple Creek. which continues to De
the best gold producing camp in tho
world, has fallen off in values twelve
dollar. ton on production of a hum
dred and twenty thousand tons. The
decline in silver during the last year
has dropped values on production of
silver a million and a half dollars,
nearly fifteen per cent.
Tho outlook, however, is not at all
discouraging. The mines OF the state
are in better condition than ever, i'm
mense development work has been
done in every section, and the pros
poets are that production will run con-
siderably over fifty millions the coming
year.
There is no pinching out on any of
the great properties.

The situation at Jerome since the
cut in Copper is perhaps best explained
by the following from the Jerome Re-
porter:
Some uneasiness has been felt in
Jerome since the beginning of the New
Year, caused by the policy of the Unit
I'd Verde company TO reduce its work
ing force. Just how deep the cut will
go, few are in Il position TO know, and
those that do know have the least TO
say about it. However, the reduction
is placed at from one-ff1h TO one-third
By persons usually we'll informed. The
former figure likely being nearest the
mark. The. number of men let out so
far Is 100, the greater number of whom
are miners. The discharge of these
men will naturally. affect every bust
ness man in town, out this loss Of trade
bids fair to be made up by the increase
of the outside working force. Iron is
now being hauled from the depot to eX-
tend the smeltcr. Connecting the new
hoist aud the smelter with a car line is
big undertaking. and should the plans
for the Iron King not have been
changed, "A hundred more men will be
at work there by early spring. The
new furnace that is being put up now

intends to make permanent the present
cut.
1t is learned from other sources that
the cut at jerome amounted to more
than two hundred men, and that the
output will be reduced from so TO 40
tons per day.

Up TO the present time there has
been no announcement made by either
the Arizona Copper company or the
Detroit Copper Mining company Of "a

companies are moving along as usual,
and do not seem TO be worried over the
temporary cut in tie price of the red
metal. Both companies have SO great
~ improved their plants during the

to make copper much cheaper than
