BOARD OF ALDERMEN
People Travelling Under Bank
 St Bridge Want Protection.

The board of aldermen met last night, Chairman Filling presiding.
 Alderman Malone called attention to the nuisance at the Bank street bridge on account of water, sand and cinders falling upon the heads of peo. pie in teams while passing under the bridge. It is secured over the side walks, but there is no protection in the center of the street and as a con- sequence has become well nigh unen- durable. The matter was referred to the board of public works with in structions to have the nuisance abat- ed. .-. r..~.
 Several new petitions were referred to the board of public works. A big bunch of tax bills were ordered abat- ed and few given leave to with draw. The petition of the Rescue mission that M. L. Saunders be ap- pointed special policeman was re- ferred to the board of safety. All the recommendation of the board of pub lie works were adopted including special appropriations of $2,500 for water main extensions, $1,00O for public lands and buildings and $1,500 for parks, and the wiping out of the meter charge to consumers of less than $25 worth of water per year. The petition of George Chapman and Henry O'Connor, custodians of the voting machines, that their salar- | ies be fixed, was on motion of MT Spain referred to a committee of three, the chair appointing Messrs ] Larkin, Walker and Spain.
 i On motion of Mf Fitzsimons con- mittee of three was appointed to draft a hack ordinance. The chair ap- pointed Aldermen Goss, Larkin and l; Nell as such committee.
 The resignation of w. M. Gillette as constable was read and accepted. A vote was then ordered to fill the va cancy, the candidates being J. F. Lunny, Dominic ManfreGi and F. J. Rametti. Alderman Larkin said a word in favor of MT Lunny and MT Nell nominated Manfredi, who was strongly endorsed by members ot the Waterbury Bar association. The : first vote resulted as follows: Lunny 6, Manfredi 5, Blank 1. No choice. On the next ballot Lunny received 7 votes and Manfredi 5. The chair de- clared MT Lunny elected, and the victor stepped outside and returned shortly with box of good cigars.
 Aldermen Goss, Elton and Noonan were absent, leaving the board a tie, thus causing some speculation as to which of the democrats flew the coop.
 The meeting adjourned until the November session.

Will Star in Skit of Which He is the
 Author.

Another Waterburian is to enter the theatrical profession, Harold R.. Durant, manager of the Waterbury baseball team, and who has written many short stories, will appear in a skit entitled "The Lady and The Burglar" The sketch is from MT Du- rants own pen and is said to have been sold to Miss Viola Adams of New York, who with the Waterbury man will enact the sketch. There are two of the minor roles which will be look ed after by players to be selected. A. Alonzo, booking agent for s. z. Poli reviewed the rehearsal at Jacques yesterday and was impressed with the sketch. It will be seen on the Poli circuit and will then perhaps go on the Keith and Proctor route.

shaft. MT Fraker will return about Monday, taking timbers for the shaft which will continue to be sunk with out interruption.
 Superintendent Chas. Hansen ex- poets to return to the Monte Visto next Saturday. He is daily expecting the arrival of parties identified with the new plans of the company which include the installing of a reduction plant, and all incidental improvements including the construction of road. This detail will be settled early def nitely and we have every reason to believe satisfactorily. Upon it depends the success or failure of the whole Monte Visto district. Casual and su- perficial work with limited results might be done on the Esmeralda or the Emilia, but the only proposition which has been thoroughly developed and proven to be a big mine in that district is the Monte Visto. Close, laborious calculations have been made over and tested a thousand times on the property in the light of its ia cilities and surrounding, and If those calculations do not bring forth the expected fruit, mathematics has nc 1 further business in the great industria, province of mining.

GREENE-cANANEA.

In the reduction division of Greene Cananea the betterments which have been planned are going forward steadily and with much smoothness of installation. Of course the rehab- iliating of big smelter and contin' uation at the same time of produc' tion at something near former figures of output is a tremendous task, in volving any difficulties which large application of ingenuity alone can surmount. However, they have re laid furnace tracks, accomplished 2 number of smaller changes enabling economy in time and have put two new furnaces going. The third new one is coming along with surprising rapidity, and it will not be long until the fourth is tackled. The new furn aces are doing splendid work, and as sure that when the balance of the changes are made the expectations oi materially increased output from the plant will be realized At the con centrator operations continue with much smoothness and altogether sat l isfactory results.

GOLD FIND AT cANANEA.

A gold find which may prove of large importance occasioned much in terest in the city during the week. The latter was increased by the filing of a number of Announcements with Mineral Agent Padilla in the Cananea office and the getting about of report of returns of 60 ounces of gold to the ton secured from assays of samples of ore bought in by Genaro Perez. MT. Perez has been in the district in which the find is located for some time, having during last summer de- nounced his original property on the formation, this being in the vicinity of the old JuerifY\ mine of Col. W. c. Greene in the SdJos, about twenty five miles out of the city. In the last few months Mir, Perez has been engaged prospecting oa continua- ton of this formation, and the first of the week filed three announcements in the new country with the excep- tion of a small announcement filed about five months ago by W H. Hughes

THE MONTE vIsTo.

Nothing of importance comes from this district just at present in the way of news. The Monte Visto alone of all the properties in the district, is the scene of activity, and that consist. ing of development work. This goes on with force of from fifteen to twen. ty-five men regardless of opinions and prognostications from the outside world.
 Over three thousand feet of devel- opment has been done. and perhaps 1t has laid more low grade ore open than can be found in any other gold proposition, carrying the same amount of development in Sonora. Thousands of assays and tests have deemonstrat ed that these immense ore bodies will run a trife over five dollars ir free gold.
 Work on roads, and reduction works is the next step to be taken by the company. The Monte Visto people maintain an equanimity and hopeful really confident demeanor when ap preached regarding the property, cal
 cuiated to impress one that they feel very comfortable in the contem plation of what they own. and the current conditions in the mine.

FAY MAKES BIG PREDICTION FOR
 COPPER MINES
Says His Cananea Property Is Destined to Be One of the Heaviest Producers New 0p- lerating in the District.

Nj. L. Fay, president of the Fay Cananea Copper company, claims that the company is destined to be the heaviest copper producing concern of any now operating in the famous Can l anea district, with the exception of the Greene Cananea. Their holdings are immense, consisting of 2I5f acres in the Sierra Azul mountains 20 miles south of Cananea or aoou
 F miles south of the Calumet & So nora, and l 100 acres in the MansiliH mountains, six miles southeasS ot Cananea, making a total of 3,25g acres of heavily mineralized land.
 The lands in the Sierra AzuI were formerly owned by the Fortuna Min ing company, and the Sonora Develop ment company. The lands III the Mansinill have been acquired by the company since they were organized. All. of the above described holdings are paid for, leaving one half or 3O0,- 900 shares par value of $500 each in the treasury. This treasury stock can only be used to acquire other proper ties or to develop and equip the mines Not one dollar of the receipts from the sale of said stock will ever be used to pay for property. This stock is now being sold at the com pany's office, 610-611 First National Bank building, Duluth, at par value as follows, two dollars down and three calls of one dollar each. These calls will only be made when the company needs money, and then only by giv- ing 60 days notice. Mr. Fay en- phatically states that the holdings of the Fay-Cananea Copper company are today worth far in excess of the par value of the capital stock. Two out of the four shafts now going down will be completed and the crosscut- ting of two we'll defined and proven ore bodies will be c6mmenced before the first day of June. Mir. Fay person ally guarantees that all reports com ing from the mines that are signed by any of the officers Of the company that have been or may be hereafter be publishd will be based only on facts. Only a small block of this stock has been placed on the market and will only remain on the market short time. 1asunps.u
 No wild cats in this. and s.,fe

 tempt to boom this pronsrty hv uis-
 representation for the parpose of nn-
 loading their stock or any part of the
 same on the public at prices in ex-
 cess of the intrinsic values.
 It is MT. Pays intention to give his
 entire, undivided time to the com pany and he expects to be instrument al in building up one of the greatest copper properties in the south. He says also that any reports that may have been circulated that he has had during the past year anything to do with the management of any other copper company are false, except that he is one of the directors of the Cal umet & Sonora Mining company. In the ultimate success of this latter company he hasn't any doubt and the management of the same.

POWELL TAKES RoNoUlLLo.

Col. L. W. Powell, of the Calumet & Arizona, general manager of the Cole interests in the Southwest, ar. rived in the city today for the pur- pose of taking over the Ronquille Copper Co, says the Cananea Herald Final arrangements for the transfeT on the part of the vendors was made by P. J. Tenancy at Tucson last week he returning with Mir. Powell today to participate in the necessary legal steps under the laws of Mexico. Nothing definite has been given out by Mfr Powell for the purchasers of the RDnquillo as to steps which it is their intention to take. However, the Ronquilio is taken over under bond providing a cash payment, which has been made, and final pay ment the latter part of next January. Inasmuch as this is the case it is req sonable to presume that the purchas. CTS of the property intend active de. yelopment. work to determine the value of the ground within the life of the bond and some vigorous work is looked for It will be of decided in terest in the locality of the Ronquillo where the are number of properties which have conditions to contend with are very similar to those which have confronted the Ronquillo. In asmuch as the final payment on the latter property is nine months away the Ronquillo company has formed nf definite plans for action on it's remain l ing properties and will probably wal the outcome on the Ronquillo. The plan to disburse the money r eceivet from the sale of Ronquiilo amons stockholders in the company as a div
 idend which will refund them ths amount of their investment, however is definitely determined.

GRAIN LETTER.

iSpsslBi Wire to Duey & Overiock)
 CHICAGO, May 1S.-Wheat-Our advsees of yesterday suggesting profit taking on long wheat and caution aboet buying on the swells was time ly. and we regard the decline in the market today 8 natural and healthy one. The easier feeling for the Sat urday session was largely the result of very fine weather all over the Western and Northwestern sections. The selling was almost entirely of long wheat, and mostly from people who had profits. Keep in mind that the underlying crop situation is little changed Late reports indicate that freekzg has worked injury to winter wheat in the Southwest Numerous Nebraska points today report bugs very skick in the wheat, and the state is likely to fare the same as nansas. Crop experts at Hutchison, Kan, claim that wheat is thin and yellow as the result of drought and freezing. Believe liquidation has been general enough to put the market in healthy position, and on this or any further deckze He would be prepared to buy wheat quickly for turn upward.
