The city is preparing to test the question
whether it can compel the Duluth Superior
Traction company to repave the street be-
tween its tracks. 1t is maintained that, ac-
cording to the wording of the charter granted
a year ago, when Thomas Lowry secured the
extension of the franchise. the company must
keep the paving between tracks In as good
shape as that outside, and the city Is about
to repave mile and a-half Of Tower avenue
If it can compel the street car people to pave
between the tracks, it will make a, saving OF
between $11, 900 and $4,000 to the property
upon which the tax would fall.-The grass

down for two weeks. The company decided
to take an inventory. at this time and thus

cded in favor Of the Land and River COM
pany in the suit whereby the city sought to
recover about 100000 alleged to be due on
taxes. The taxes we're settled in 1898. The
company agreed to pay in cash, which should
be used to pay bonds This was done. Last
winter. Mayor Parker raked up the records
and asserted the Land company people held
void bonds and these were mostly the ones
paid as stipulated. The company maintained
that no favoritism shown in the paying
of bonds, and after hearing the evidence and
argument Judge 'Vinje ordered the defendant
to draw up findings to be submitted to the

JEWS GET TOGETHER
viii Endeavor to Improve the Rae

. in the United States.
New York, July 3.-Under the auspices OF
the Order of Bnat Birth, meeting has
been held in this city at which several hun
dred Jews gathered to take part in the be-
ginning Of a great "get- together movement
among the race in the United States. There
are many Jews in America who have practic-
ally ceased to take<interest in things Jewish,
and this state Of affairs is due to several
causes, principally among which are the diff
ferences due to the divergence Of origin
among them and to the great change in con-
dition of life here from what they have been
accustomed to in their European homes.
The new effort, is a part of the plans for
the general advancement, of American Jews
which led recently to the election Of DIR.
Solomon Schechter to the presidency Of the
Jewish seminary. Among the speakers was
Leon N. Levi, Of Galveston, Texas. chair
man Of the executive committee of the Order
of Bnai Birth. In the course of lengthy
speech he referred to the exodus Of Jews
from, European countries and declared that
the Jewish race il now passing through events
which surpass in Importance the exodus from
Egypt and the expulsion from Spain. Said he:
'tIn all the history of the Jews there has
been no effort to unite their fores in behalf
of themselves. they have always rested in
the hope that somebody would work out their
salvation for them. Perhaps, this has been
due to the differences that have always ex-
listed; to the fact that, we have always been
stiff-necked, slow to learn government. The
policy has always been Cne of drift, failing to
recognize our surest refuge-ou1s selves"

$4,000 FROM WASTE
Second Cleanup on an Old Dump
Alder Creek Mine

DEADWOOD, S. D.-The second cleanup
has just been made at the cyanide plant of
the Alder Creek Mining company on YELL
low creek, and the resulting bullion, in a
bar weighing thirty eight pounds, and worth
between $4,000 and $4,000, has been deposited
at the United States assay Office in Dead
wood.
This cleanup was made after a twenty
eight days run on an old dump at the Little
Blue mine. This dump was formerly regarded
as waste. 1t was formed while the mine
was being worked for the rich several
years ago. The original owner Of the ground
took out some 900 in ore that was
shipped to various smeters, handling only
the very best grade Since the Alder Creek
company has completed its new plant on the
property two cleanups have been made on
the old dump, and so far not pound of the
best ore from the mine has been put through
the mill.
The property reveals almost unlimited
supply Of similar and better ore standing in
the various old workings. 1t will from

large amount of high-grade ore. Only a

a shaft was put down 200 feet on vein OF
free milling ore that prospected we'll at the
surface, and improved for a time as depth
was attained until when down about 100 feet
1t was producing some remarkably rich ore.
Then the vein seemed to leave the shaft and
a quest extending over more than a year
failed to reveal it again. The company
stopped work and the mine was idle for about
q year. Mr.. Arundel recently took out some
of the timbers in the mine and encountered
