The Controllers friends say that 10 one in the
Finance Department has any expectation of COM
pelng the lighting companies to lower their prices
for lighting, inasmuch the city is getting
its gas for 20 cents while private consumers pay
even dollar thousand.

The Occur D'Alene Lead Output.

Reports from the Occur d'Alenes re presents that the outp of lead thus far in the present year exceeds that of the cores bonding perind in any pr . vions year. The June tonnage Was the largest ever shipped, and owing to the fact that the smelters were unable to handle it all, there was a reduction of some 5000 tons in July.
 For the last four years there has been notable tendency to increase the tonnage, the increased production during that time amounting to 30 per cent. Last year the product s 2OO,- 800 tons, and it is estimated that this year it will reach 225,O,0.
 This makes the Occur d'Alene dis trict the greatest producer of lead in the United States. Following it in amount of production are Colorado, Utah, and the Missouri. Kansas dis. trlct.
 The increase comes from opening new mines ana Increased facilities f' r operating old properties. In addition to lead, the district produces some thing like 6,IOO,OJ0 ounces of silver every year. But, while silver adds to the value of the output of the mines, the production of lead is the chief object.
 There is such strong demand for lead that there is no danger that the output of the Occur d'Alene will over- stock the market and cause notable reduction in price. It is probab that the distict will continue to de. velop and enjoy long period of great prosperity.-Denver Republican.

Many prospectors have sighified their intention of going into the moun- taina since the late torrential storms as it is believed that many blind lodges will be uncovered. Ner Cedar great banks of alluvium have been entirely carried away and the mountains torn and rent as if by an earthquake. The rocky peaks of the Wallapai mountains look as though they had been secured clean and white. Millions of tons of debris have been carried down into the valley and the accession is quite not. iceable. In the canyon below town the amount of gravel and alluvium re- moved is truly phenominal. At least six feet in depth of the bed of the can. yon for width of nearly three hun- dred feet has been swept out, besides banks of debris eight and ten feet above the ancient bed. In town the railroad yards have been filled up at least ten inches by drift. This would indicate that the mountains ought to be in condition to offer an alluring field to the pros pector.
