as surety, and this was approved when
the company's corporate seal is placed
on it.
City Attorney Schmitt reported on
different places where buildings or
fences are in the streets or alleys
showing comendable progress toward
asserting the city's rights.
Track Too High.
Aid. Atchison said that the street
car company had raised its track above
the Front street pavement between
Poplar and Hickory streets. Engineer
Haynes had notified President Hixon
that he would not accept it. He want
ed to know what the council would
do about it.
Engineer Haynes said that Engineer
Wood had agreed to put the rails on
a level with the pavement, but had
not done so. Mr.. HiXon had asked
that nothing be done until spring,
when it could be considered. He had
no idea that the company would rem
edy it, and asked that the council
stand back of him firmly in requiring
the track to be lowered. There was
an unsightly ridge at present, just
where one is not wanted. North of
Hickory good job was done.
Aid. Gary moved that the council
approve the engineers action, and this
was carried.

assessments had not been made. He
did not believe it good business policy
for the city to pay interest on this
big sum when there was no excuse for
not making the assessments as soon
as the improvements are made He
intended now to make it his business
to stop the abuse as far as he was
able, and would refuse to issue certii-
Gates of indebtedness for more than
$1,000 estimates for public improve
ments that were among the bills before
the council at this meeting, until 9th
ers had been taken up. He had been
asking the board of public works for
two months to get busy and make
the assessments, so that these certif
Gates might be taken up and the
city saved the interest, as the certif
Gates were all drawing six per cent.
He now perferred to have the council
act.
Aid. Gary asked whose business it
was to levy the assessments, and why
they had not been levied.
Mayor Andrews said that it was
the duty of the board of public works,
but he did not know why it had not
performed it's duty.
Aid. Gary asked the board why it
did not make the assessments, as the
charter provides.
Many Assessments Not Made.
1t was cited in the discussion that
followed that the board has not yet
made the assessment for the improve
ment of Fourth street, which was be-
gun last year and completed last
spring; that it has done nothing to-
ward assessing the cost of the South
Fifth street improvement yet; that it
has not yet collected the $500 that
the property owners on Jackson street
between Fourth and Fifth were to pay
toward the cost of the block of tar
macadam OH that street last year; in
fact, that there have been delays in
making all assessments, which requires
the city to pay six per cent interest,
besides deducting ten per cent where
the property owner pays promptly aft
err the assessments have been made.
The aldermen felt that there was no
warrant for such state of affairs,
and that the city recorder was right
in calling attention to the matter. He
is the clerk of the board of public
works, and in position to know how
it delays the making of assessments.

had thought it dangerous to have the
wires running close to this cell, which
they did, and that the wires were then
disconnected and had not since been
connected up. However, the Mankato
Gas and Electric Light company had
meter in it's office and he could con-
meet it up with the wires running
through its office, which were the same
as those that ran through the city
hall.
When the meeting adjourned, the
aldermen, board of public works and
reporters accompanied Mr. McGovern
to the rear room of the Mankato Gas
and Electric Light company's offices
and there Mr.. McGovern connected the
meter. after first explaining that if it
read ~ on the voltage test and ~
on the ampierage test it would indi-
cate that the company was furnishing
the power that it had contracted to
furnish.

The city is rapidly drifting upon
financial shoals. AID. Schroeder, chair
man of the committee on ways and
means, like a faithful helmsman, last
night sounded the warning that break
ers were ahead, and urged that the en-
CINE be put on reduced speed and that
all precautions be taken to prevent the
good ship from humping on the rocks.
Aid. Schroeder stated that he had

and looking over the books; and found

In the ampierage test, the hand
swung around to nearly s.
All present expressed themselves as
well satisfied with the result of the
test, as it showed that the city was
getting all or more than it had con-
tracted for in the way of power on

Aid. Atchison yesterday asked City
Electrician Thomas McGovern to be
present at the meeting of the council
last night, but did not tell him what
for. Mr.. McGovern remained through
out the meeting, until all of the other
spectators had gone and he alone re-
manned Then, just as the council
was adjourning, Aid. Atchison explain
ed that he had asked Mr.. McGovern
to be present, and that he wished that
a test of the street lights be made
without the possibility of the Mankato
Gas and Electric Light company know
ing it, so that the actual strength OF
the current might be known, to see
whether the city was getting what it
was paying for. He said that the City
had a meter, and suggested that all
visit it together.
Meter Connects Up With Wires.
Mr.. McGovern explained that the city
bought meter two years ago and has
kept it in the city engineers office,
connected up, but that when the wo-
mans cell was placed on the second
floor of The city hall the chief of police

NEW STRIKE ON PINE CREEK
Spokane Corporation Announces Six
Feet of Low Grade Ore.

(SpOkane Chronicle.)
An important strike on the Bis
Eight group on Pine creek In the
Occur d'Alenes is reported. The
group is the property of the Inter.
national Mining & Exploration com.
pany, in which several Spokane men
are largely interested.
1t is reported that In sinking or
the ledge large ore body was en-.
countered at depth Of 50 feet. The
ore Is galena and much of 1t is oil
high grade. The ore is reported to
be six feet in width and assays show
1t averages $500 per ton.
Fred R. Lowell, treasurer of the
company, stated last night that a
tunnel will be run as soon as posi-
BILE to tap the ledge at a depth of
700 feet. Mr.. Lowell states the com
pany has been successfully financed
and has plenty Of capital for extern
sive development work. A gain of a
foot in depth will be gained for every
foot Of tunnel work, hence the pro-
jected tunnel will be 700 feet in
length.
Besides owning the Big Eight
group, the international owns other
properties In the Occur d'Aleues, one
group OF four claims lying adjacent
to the Bunker Hill & Sullivan prop
erty.}

y. II. NlltcneI Urges Systematic Pub
licity for Occur dAlenes.
e. e. Mitchell, the we'll known
broker and promoter of Spokane, is
quoted as follows in lengthy inter-
view in last Sundays Spokesman
Review:
One great disappointment that I
met with was that the Occur d'Alene
mining district is little known to
large eastern concerns. If per cent
OF the real value of the district was
understood there would not be any
trouble encountered in financing
every mine and prospect hole in the
district.
People in general throughout the
east are thirsty for information re-
garding the Occur d'Alenes; they
want facts. what has been done in the
past and what is planned for the fut-
ure. When the Nevada stocks are
demoralized is the psychological mo-
ment for, result-bearing advertising

is AZ years old, has reverted to the

world must be acquired all over

Kane was taken to Bellevue and
