Although this is not the time when one would think that borough politics would wax warm. already there are rumblings of the coming storm, next springs election. The special election for borough clerk to take place next Monday evening Is an excuse for stir ring the political pot and getting it up to the boiling pitch The statement of Harry Leigh one of the burgesses, commenting the present government for inaugurating improvements and paying off a floating debt of nearly $500 and long standing note for $i,- 900, has brought up the old discussion of comparison of the work of last years board with the present govern ment. One of the borough taxpayers who says he believes in fair play and also comments all that the present government has done, had this to say last evening:
 T am willing to go as far as anyone in giving the present board the credit for the work they have done Our borough streets have been sprnkled during the summer and a few addi- tionai street lamps and hydrants have been installed. The debt has also been cancelled. We'll and good. But it would be no harm to state that the present lighting system was started by last years board. And 1t would be no harm to state that the present board ie e1o+tiy,er 41,a IAAxn6t oe A Ja@ af ho -yr taxes, running back number of years, which have come into the borough treasury this year. No wonder they could pay off the debt, But can tell you, no matter what is said, the hor- ough can't be run on fonr-mill tax, and it couldn't have been run this year If 1t hadn't been for the iive-mill tax and the back taxes that debt would not have been paid, Now am no kicker, and I am saying nothing against the present board but am just stating facts and stating just how all of this has been done.

Pittsburg 10 Finish SINKING.

1t is expected that by the end of this
week the Pittsburg people will have
their shaft down the desired depth-sOO
feet. In reality the shaft is now down
that distance but sump is to be added
to the present depth, which will make
it close to s25 feet. Drifting will then
be started both ways and the lower
portion of the mine opened for the pur-
pose of working it to the best advan-
tage. Besides sinking, miners are at
work in the upper levels, mainly the
600 and 7O0-foot and good ore is coming
out. The sinking of the shaft has re-
quired little over two months and they
have averaged so feet month.
The Meeker property, which is stu
uated just east and above the Pitts
burg is now being worked by the same
company and the work of sinking goes
rapidly on. They are now down dis
tance of 200 feet with 100 feet more to
go. No interference will be made with
the sinking until the shaft is down the
required depth, which will be 300 feet.
This will then be connected with the
3O0-foot level of the Pittsburg.

Arqo BEING Worked SteadiIu.

The above mine is down distance of
220 feet and most of the work is being
done in the bottom levels. Here drift
ing is being prosecuted east and west,
as is also stoping. A shipment of ore
will be made to the mills and smelters
the latter part of this week from which
good returns are expected. Two shifts
of miners are employed and much
ground is being broken. In the drift
there is a streak of ore that averages
from six inches to two feet in
width. This is being drifted and stopped
upon. The miners are somewhat hand
icapped on account of the water, which
was encountered last week. Up to that
time the water had been very low and
had not interfered with the work, but
Saturday flow commenced and since
then the engineer has been very busy
keeping the shaft clear of the water.
1t is thought this is only surface drip
pings and will stop as soon as the stormy
wea ther ceases.
