Nei, Colorado Springs, New York, Phil
adelphia end Boston markets, there is
no apparent letup in rich dividends
from the mines and from the metal
lurgical enterprises connected there
with. For the first five months Of
1907 the Cripple Creek district has
paid company or known dividends to
the extent of $522. 755.12. 1t is safe
TO ASSERT that the net earnings of
leasers and close corporations in the
same period fully equal the sum de-
claTed, making the total for five
months read $1.045.51O, or close TO 20
per cent. of the gross output of the
mines in the period covered. despite

be two feet wide, gives returns OF
eight and half ounces In gold to the
ton, and was encountered near the
ore body opened about week ago by
Porter and associates, operating On
the Mary Mckinney ground. The
new ore body, from what can be
learned, was struck at depth of 600
feet. No development work has yet
been done, and 1t Is impossible at

cars per day are being sent out from
the Elkton mine, and about forty tons
every twenty-four hours are being
shipped by lessees.

which is working at depth of 1000
feet in the Orpha May property of the
Stratton estate On Bull hill, is breaking
ore from a two-fOot vein which gives
returns OF better than four ounces in

DOG FIGHTS MAN
Montclair Dog Catcher Has Hard Time
Securing Mongrel Dog and Is
Badly Bitten.

David Steinfeld, Montclair's official dog
catcher, had a battle royal late yesterday
AFTERNOON at Bloomfield and Glen Ridge
avenues, that town, with a large black
mongrel dog. The animal was a delapi-
dated-looking species of canine. and. was
wandering along Bloomfield avenues. pick
ing up what 1t could find to eat out of
the cutters.
The dog-catcher was standing It the
corner talking to his father, Solomon
Steinfeld. Of 43 Jones street, this city, who
was paying the former a visit. The, dog
ofiicial walked up to the animal and patted
1t on the head. AS he did so ne could
see that the CANNES body was covered
with sores. The sight was repulsive, and
Steinfeld stepped back. but only for a
moment. 1t was his duty to take the dog
IN, and he determined to do it. He again
approached the animal, and grabbed it
hrmly by the neck. As he did so the dog
yelped and tried to break away. IT pulled
the dog-catcher off his feet, and both man
and dog rolled over and over in the muddy
street The noise attracted many people

window in the nelghborhood. Some

back, saying let them alone. the boy

The dog finally managed to get away

wound.
s~teinfeld again grabbed the dog by the
neck. and, finding 1t necessary to use both
his hands to hold the animal, called on
his father TO take the rope out of his
pocket and hand it TO him.

worked at his trade as a carpenter, as
usual. When he quit his work at night he
received $3.50, the wages due him, and
on his way home he entered a saloon in

having left the saloon. but he claims to

OLD CASE BOBS UP
AGREEMENT OVER BACK
TAXES RECALLED.
North Arlington and Union Township
Get Tagether on Eleven-Year-0ld
Proposition.

The North Arlington Council, Mayor
George Baylis and Counselor Addison Ely,
Of Rutherford, appeared before the Union
Township Committee at a special session
last night in Odd Fellows Hall, Kingsland
section, and made an appeal for a re-
vision of an agreement made in 1896 at the
time the municipalities were separated, to
the effect that all back taxes due at the
time of the separation be equally divided
between the towns. The original agree
ment that covered the point was never
executed. so 1T was claimed by Counselor
Ely, on behalf of the borough, and 1t re-
quired considerable argument to convince
the Township Committee that such an
agreement Just now-the scheme being re-
vived-was not a good thing. The matter
was left open pending an investigation
by the townships attorney. Cook Conkling,
of Rutherford, who will look the matter
up at once and a conference will be called
early next week.
The special citizens water committee
called the Township Committees atten-
ton, through Chairman c.. d. Cheney, to
the desire of many people wanting water
who are not on the line Of the present
water pipies. and requested that the sys-
tenn be extended through the following
sections: Fontine avenue, Stuyvesant ave-
nue. to Front street; Front street, Valley
brook avenue TO Fontine street; Stuyvesant
avenue, Fern avenue to Forest stfeet,
First avenue, Stuyvesant avenue to River
road; Second avenue, New Jersey avenue
to Marion avenue; Fern avenue, Livingston
avenue TO Stuyvesant avenue. The re-
quest was laid over until the next regular
meeting.
Peter A. Kuhn. of the Lyndhurst sec
ton. made a strong appeal in behalf Of
the Leslie Brass Works for the failure
of the committee to Improve Werts avenue,
as agreed to at the time the works were
being erected. Mr.. Kuhn contended that
the Lackawanna Railroad as well as the
Leslie COMPANY had fulfilled their agree
ments with the town, and 1t was now up
to the committee TO carry out their con-
tract.
The matter was referred to Counselor
Conkling.
Bids were opened for the laying of con-
to Reid & Wehrle, of Hackensack, for
