Hancock, Mich, June 24.-The hoisting
OF copper rock has ceased at the famous
Arcadian mine. Exploratory work on the
property will be carried on thoroly for a
long time and it is hoped that the mine
may some time give a good account Of
itself. The company owns 1000 acres
within the copper bearing belt and is
engaged in making a complete cross sec
ton OF the formation by diamond drill.
This will require two years time and
anything may happen in the way Of find

surface and underground improvements
and for the rapidity with which the
property was opened. Five years ago
this month the present owners reorgan-
lied the old property, on which much
money had previously been spent, and
they at once began a career of costly
construction that has, perhaps, never
been equalled in a mine certainly not in
this part of the world.
Great mine buildings of stone and Steel

The death rate for the first quarter of the

first quarter of 1903.

this has been accomplished in spite of the
fact that cholera and bubonic plague both
had gained a foothold in the islands and
that the existence of a large unvaccinated
population in the city meant constant

and smallpox have occurred in Manila
during the present year but the precau-
lions taken by. the board Of health have
prevented an epidemic.
The sanitary results obtained in the
past four years thru American control
have been accomplished, says DR.. Nun

alton Of Manila and it's lack of sanitation
under the former sovereignty. which from
the level site interfering with drainage,
the many foul canals ramifying the city,
the absence Of any sewerage system and
the existence of an impure and insufficient
water supply and many old unhealthful

Of health therefore has been unable to
turn previously existing methods and con-
ditions to sanitary advantage and has
found 1t necessary not only to develop
entirely new plans of improvement but at
the same time to combat the results of
conditions Inherited from the Spanish ad-
ministration. The mixed character of the
Inhabitants with their prejudices, super

also has been constant obstacle in sani-
