At the Columbus mine in Russell dis
trict drifting is being prosecuted in the
4OO-foot levels and good showing is be.
ing made. Both the east and west lev
els are in distance Of about 80 feet and
are being driven on the vein. The crew
ice is from six to eight feet wide and
the ore coming from here looks as
though it might run high in the precious
metals. The above is about all the work
that is being done at this property now,
but more is contemplated later on. The
property is owned by the Sternberger
Brothers and is under the able manage.

OF his election to the position of mayor
Of this city, was held from the Church
Of the Assumption. The church was

ficent floral contributions. Father

OF the man who had been called by death.
He spoke Of the exemplary character Of
Jas. A. Gilmour, his devotion to his
family and the loyalty he held for the
church. The services were impressive

full. The funeral cortege proceeded to
the burial ground, headed by members
Of the Elks, who marched the entire
distance. Il was the longest witnessed

with request set forth in a proclama-
ton issued by Mayor Davies, all bust

Morning Star Shipping nigh Grade.

The Morning Star mine. situated in
Russell and Fall River section, and own
ed by Joha Best, is being operated by
Stevens and Co., local pool who are
taking out some Of the best looking ore
seen around here for some time. A three
cord lot Of milling dirt was shipped to
the Bobtail mill in Black Hawk this
week, but as yer no returns have been
received, although, it is expected that
the ore will run rather high. This come
from a winze that they have been sink
ing for some time. Several weeks ago,
shipment Of smelling ore was sent to
the Sampling works in Black Hawk
that gave some very pleasing returns.
The control showed that there was 1886
ounces gold to the ton, 8 ounces OF sill
Yer and $50 per cent. copper, averaging
1872 to the ton. A good Shipment Of
this ore was made. This also comes from
the winze, which is 60 feet deep, with
good big amount OF ore blocked out.
guaranteeing shimpments OF the above
il not better, for a considerable time to
come. 1t will be interesting to note
here that persistence and perseverance
is rewarded, as just about year ago
this property was started up and the
best that the leasers could get out Of
their ore was S24 to the ton. This
gradually increased until they are now
nearing the 500 mark to the ton. From
all appearances they will have good
thing here.

Two shifts Of miners are being stead

Russell district, sinking the shaft. Good
headway is being made, the shaft now
being 16O feet deep and rapidly assum.

the shaft nice streak OF milling ore is
being sunk on. There is also some
smelling ore that promises to soon lead
into high. grade stuff. Shipments could
be made now but the ore is being saved
for future runs.

Caucus Appolntsss.

A caucus OF the four aldermen elect
OF the Democrat and Citizens parties
and the hold.over Democratic alderman
from the first ward, was held this week
to determine upon the men to be chosen
for the appointive Offices Of the city
when the new board is organized Thurs
day evening. The meeting was most
harmonious one and the applicants
agreed upon were selected according to
their qualifications and their fitness for
holding the positions to which they are
to be appointed. All the aldermen
seemed willing to do the proper thing
and as near as possible carry out the de-
sires Of the voters who had endorsed
them on election day with large MAORI
ties. They understood what was want
ed in selecting the men and realized that
a complete change was demanded by the
people from those filing the appointive
offices under the present administration,
and also appeared wise to the fact that
the citizens to whom they owed their
election wanted no man who should be
eTOOucO VI VIC pooAsAOho ~ sAS
Republican faction which SO strongly
opposed The election of the Citizens
ticket.
1t had been noised about the streets
that certain Of the Republican leaders
had made their boast that they would
break the Citizens Democratic combina-
tion If it required money to do it, and
swing one or two Of the newly elected
aldermen to the Republican side OF the
council and thereby succeed in having
one OF their clique elected to high Of
flee. Whether this really was a scheme
concocted by the ringleaders OF the Re-
publicans or not, is not positively known.
1t is known, however, and was de-
cidedly demonstrated and proven at the
Citizens Democratic caucus, that every
alderman elected on the End inst. and
the hold-over Democrat was true to the
confidence and trust placed in him by
the people and agreed to vote in council
for men who in no wise were connected
with the Republican clique or endorsed
by them. Trey were unanimous in car
rying out the wishes o. the people in
this respect.
According to the action taken at the
caucus it is very probable that the fol-
lowing list Of candidates will be selected
at Thursday evenings meeting of the
council for the various Offices to be
filled:
.Clerk-M. j. Leahy.
Attorney-W.-E Withrow.
Marshal-George Launder.

COAST WATERWAYS CLAIM AT,
TENTioN OF DELEGATES TO
CONVENTION.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 19.-Repre.
sentativcs OF leading commercial bod.
les and other organizations of the East,
from Maine to Florida, are particlpat-
Ing to-day in n conference which has
for its object the formation OF a per-
manent association to advocate the de.
velopment OF a chain of deep water.
ways the length OF the Atlantic coast.
The new organization, which will be
affiliated with the National Rivers and
Harbors congress, will conduct a pro-
paganda Of education in the import.
ance of adequate inland deep water
ways facilities and will seek, in con.
gress. to rally the votes of a. the SET.
enteen States interested In efforts to
advance Atlantic seaboard projects.
The States included in the new water.
ways movement are Vermont. Maine,
New Hampshire. Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New York, New
Jersey. South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida.
The activity of the Mississippi and
other waterways promoters of tho
middle West was largely responsible
for the calling OF the present move
ment. President Roosevelt's recent
western trip. which resulted In his Civ
ing official Endorsement to the Lakes
to-tlle-Gulf project, aroused 4 fear that
equally important and practicable east
ern enterprises would be neglected.
and overshadowed by the enthusiasm
OF the western boomers. The new At.
lantlc coast organization will seek to
secure from President Roosevelt the
same executive encouragement that
has been given the western promoters
of waterways projects.
The local projects include in the
SCOPE of this new waterways move
ment are the Cape Cod ship canal.
Raritan Bay. the Delaware and Rari-
tan canal, the Delaware river, the
Chesapeake and Delaware canal. the
Virginia-C Carolina deep canal system
and the charleston-Peaufor water.
way.
In addition to the commercial I'M
portance of this chain of waterways.
1t is alleged that 1t would offer great
strategic advantages in case Of war.
a fleet OF war vessels might readily
traverce these protected channels to
any section OF the coast threatened
by n hostile fleet. An impregnable
Atlantic %seabonrl, capable Of being
perfectly defended by a comparatively
light mosquito fleet. would be a prac-
tical return TO the government of the
vast expenditures involved.
The entertainment features OF the
convention are in the hands OF the
committee Of 100 appointed by Mayor
Reyburn. and include a banquet and
trips on the various waterways in the
vicinity OF Philadelphia.
