A meeting of the Citizens Com
mittee was held Friday, the following
members being present; II. c. Cut
ting, E. f. Saylor, o. B. Curtis, j.
A. DeVoe and W. W. Booth. The
charges made by certain citizens at a
mass meeting held July l4th against
night watchmen Harvey and Sullivan
were fully investigated, and both
officers were found to be wholly with
out blame and deserving of the
earnest support of all law-abiding
citizens. The committee decided tC
hold regular meetings on the first
and third Saturdays in each month
Any complaint against the officers
and any grievance by any citizen
the committee requests shall be sub
mitted in writing, and the same viii
be carefully investigated at the first
meeting held thereafter and justice
done to all parties. The Citizens
Committee had intended to resign
but the mine-owners, miners and the
business element, including those who
had grievances, requested the com
mittee to remain at the head of our
town government The committee
realizes that their positions are I'm,
desirable ones, but for the good of the
town will remain in office. All fair.
minded citizens will see and believe
as the committee does.

RICH ORE STRUCK
In The FRACTION
Another Good Body Of Ore Encountered
at the 26O.FOOt Leyel.--New Ma.
chinery Being Installed.


Manager Curtis took up the work
of sinking on shaft No | Immediately
after his hoist was completed. 1t
will be remembered that the sinking
in the old Frac ton shaft was discon-
tinued through force. The cable
length had been reached, and it was
by this force of circumstances that
Supt Fred Mason, during Manager
Curtis absence started the cross cut
that opened the fabulously rich ore
body that set Tonopah in mad delight
on April 28th, and now we are per
mitted to follow the more remarkable
feature of the development of this
valuable mine.
Twenty feet below the 237 foot
level, from which point the above
mentioned cross-cut was run, ore
was again encountered, and as we 90
to press 5x8 shaft has been sunk
through fifteen feet of ore which
covers the entire bottom Of the shaft
We mechanically ask ourselves what
magic spell possessed the mind that
selected the spot to begin sinking
the first Fraction shaft. Where is
there a parallel case in mining his
tory? No surface indications what
soever, and 250 feet of volcanic ash
and wash, with simply the lode por-
phyry to invite further effort. And
TO think that the work was so well
planned and executed as to come into
immediate contact with the richest
body of ore yet exposed in the Tono-
pah mineral belt, and that in the
much derided Curtis well.
The company has made such signal
improvements in its property, and
has added every convenience for the
rapid development of its mines that
every good word should follow the
management and success attend it.
A shipment of high-grade ore is
now being made ready Men are
sorting ore by hand, but within a few
days a grizzly and rock crusher will
be rupniug and the work of sorting
and sacking will be reduced to a
system.
Shaft No, 2, which is intended for
the main working shaft and is a
triple-compartment one, is encoun-
tering II change of formation, and the
mineraliza is so in keeping with
the formation in shaft No. 2 that the
management feels assured " salts
factory development following the
work, and when on line with the
237 foot level in shaft No. cross
cut will be started to make connec-
tions between the two shafts.
The Fraction mine is second in
place as an ore producer and from
present indications it will become an
aspirant for first honors. We CON
graduate Manager Curtis for the
success that is falling thick and fast
upon him, approaching the many
obstacles he overcame in carrying
out his faith in the Curtis Well
proposition.

SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR
THE CITY COUNCIL.

no prospect of its being any better
off until it makes the right move. y
reliable system of fire alarm should
be inaugurated with the establish
ment of few boxes at least in the
business portion of the city at once.
Business men and property holders
have right to demand to expect
this much. The public has had am
pie demonstration of the farce of the
telephone as a means of fire alarm.
The best alone is reliable and the
best alone is good enough for Rock
Island.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1902-06-23

The city council meets tonight TO
dispose of its annual appropriation
ordinance. While il is desirable that
as far as practicable and consistent
with the appropriations at its dispo-
sition. the council deal as literally as
possible with every branch of the
municipal government. il is particu-
Iarly urgent that the matter of the
new park improvement and the fire
alarm system he not overlooked.
Both these projects are essential.
One looks to public comfort; the
other to public safety. The council
recently granted increases in salaries
in the waterworlls, police and health
departments. 1t is we'll for the city
TO set the right example in the mat
ter of proper compensation for labor
of any kind, but the city can find no
justification in ignoring the require
ments of the tax payers who pay the
bills on the other hand. If the city
can afford to pay more to it's en-
pIoves. il can afford to consider the
desires of the tax payers whose
money it, is entrusted with spending.
The development of Longview park is
one of the most important projects
of the times. The city is looked to
to make a start in this improvement.
1t is desirable that the right kind of
a start should be made, too. 1t is all
important that whatever is done
there be done right. Lay the foun-
dation properly and the work will go
forward as it should. First of all
thoroughly competent landscape gar
denar should he broupht in Rock ISL
and to lay out the park. 1t will cost
some money to have this done right.
but If the city fails to have it done
right, it will never cease to regret il.
The council ought TO make n reason
able appropriation for the Longview
park Improvement.
