MINE PAYS cITY's BILLS.
The Municipality of Baker, wash. Owns . Profitable Deposit
 of Gold ore

The town of Baker City, Wash, is one of the most favored of munich palities. for it is the owner of wa ter system which is a veritable gold mine. About year ago the city au- thorities issued bonds to the amount of S1OO. 900 and established a gravity water system to supply the city from Elk creek. ten miles away in the mountains. After the new system was nearly completed it was dis covered this summer that the How of water was not sufficient to meet the demands of the city and the council issued more bonds and pur- chased the celebrated Auburn ditch. which brings large supply of wa ter from the mountains to a point about eight miles from the city. The water is excellent. there is plenty of it and it will soon be connected with the main water system, says local informant.
 All this is very well, but there is something distinctly peculiar about the new water system of Baker City. The title to the Auburn ditch car ries with it the title to the celebrat- ed Nelson placer mines, situated eight or ten miles west of the city, and in securing the water the city also acquired 6 gold mine, probably the first ever owned by any munici- pality in the United States. These mines have been leased in the past year by year to people who have taken out good returns every season. This year the owners have made a good cleanup. Next year the city can operate the mine itself or lease the privilege to others.
 It is estimated by 6 mining man of experience that the Nelson placer mines will pay a sufficient revenue to pay all the expenses of the city government of Baker City and afford many improvements now greatly needed by this rapidly growing little city. For instance. the town is in urgent need of a good sewerage sys- tenn, electric street lights, street pavement and systematic street  sprinkling during the dry months. IL is also proposed to erect in Baker City next year a permanent mineral palace, to be constructed of gold and silver ores and to contain a large col lection of the ores from which every camp and mine in eastern Oregon. SC arranged and exhibited as to answer all questions as to the mineral re sources of the country. It would show to a stranger the exact lOca ton and character of all the differ ent kinds of ores. gold, silver, cop per, coal. nickel, kaolin, asphaltun and the location and description o1 all the working mines and prospects It is believed that the rental or proceeds from the Nelson placers which in such peculiar manner be came the property of Baker City, will run the city and pay for these much desired improvements, and perhap. aid in wiping out the city's indebted ness already being steadily reduced under 6 cash basis system of govern ment.

BANK BILLS IN CAR WHEELS.
Currency Maeeratsd at the National Treasury Is Used by the Car
 Bulidsrs

It is the commonly accepted be- lief that the old currency redeemed at the treasury department is abso- luteIy destroyed. Such. however. is not the case. A single wheel of a locomotive represents many millions of what was once good paper cur rency. From a bank note to a car wheel is quite radical transforma- tion. but it happess every day. and to become a supporting atom in the re- volving mass is the ultimate fate of every soiled s1, s10 or s1.oOO bill, says a Washington report.
 Between s5O,OO0, 900 and $500. .O0O. 900 worth of paper money S cancelled every year in the treasury depart ment in Washington, and after being macerated is converted into filling for railroad car wheels. This pulp makes the best kind of wheels and the government gets s4o ton for 1t from the manufacturers.
 The destruction of soiled paper currency goes on daily and is in charge of three treasury employees, who represent respectively the sec retary of the treasury, the treasurer of the United States and the comp tr0ller of the currency. Bundles of the cancelled notes are dumped into the big macerators and crushed irto 6 puttylike mass. The pulp is then treated with an slkah, which ev- tracts the ink; the stuff is dried. shipped in bales and forwarded 10 the car wheel manufacturers.
 For every note so destroyed. un- less it has come from a national bank in liquidation. a new one of the same denomination is printed at the bu- resu of printing and engraving. All this work costs the government noih- ing. The national banks pay the ex- penses. although the treasury depart ment has full control of the redemP- 5ion division.
