Total office expenses ..... S5.4O0 Inspection of plumbing l,350
 The total appropriations asked for amount to S26,550.
 On the sewage disposal plant and aditional water supply. both of which foot up to about $l0.000. so that the cost of the bureau of engineering is In the neighborhood of $35,0O0 a year. The system followed is to meet the expenses of this department by charging 1t to items In the other departments. This Is misleading and the intention Is to remedy 1t. For ex- ample, suppose an appropriation of $60,000 for streets, new work, should be made as was done last year, the public would conclude that the su- perintendent of streets would have that amount to spend, while as a matter of fact, 1t would be about two-thirds of that amount on &C., count of charges for work in the en- gineer's office. Besides this It creates lots of confusion, and frequently re- suits in making 1t almost cue of the question to avoid exceeding appro- priations, for so long as the superin- tendent of streets sees certain sum to the credit of his department he thinks it all right to spend up to that amount, but before he knows where he is at 1t is cut into and in many instances wiped out altogether by a charge from the bureau of engineer ing. This is not the fault of the en- gineer or anybody else. The trouble is due to the system, which never works satisfactorily.
 The matter of securing voting places for the election was referred to the street committee. Similar ac- tion was taken regarding the need of strengthening the Bank street bridge at Mad river. The application of the assessors for better quarters was re- ferred to the committee on public lands and buildings.
 The contract for constructing a sewer in Eagle street was awarded to Edward McManus for $S42.50. The superintendent of water was instruct ed to lay a water main in Freight street and in the Meriden road. Or ders were passed for the construction of sidewalks, sewer and a water main in Woodlawn terrace. The cost of this project and that of the Eagle street and Meriden road water mains will be met by the petitioners on con- dition that they be reimbursed within a reasonable time. The petitions for sidewalks on Willard, Walnut and WatervilIe streets were favoraly re- ported to the aldermen. A big peti- tion was received from Emerald street people asking that the street be laid out and worked at its present width. The full board will look over the mat ter.
 The engineer reported favorably on the proposition of k. o. Goss to make some changes in the curb lines at the corner of Union and Franklin streets. It was voted to ask permission to hold hearings on the matter The plan Is to let the sharp corner at the hospi- tai property into the street.
 0. P. Hart offered to give the city 250 tons of crushed stone in exchange for the stone crusher plant. The mat ter was referred to committee con- sisting of the street committee and he superintendent of streets. City Engineer Cairns submitted an esti- mate of the cost of laying out Colum- bia boulevard. The amount is $14,- 500.
 All the new petitions were referred to the different committees.

The grand ball to be given by the
Pikers' base ball team this evening
should be most literally patronized by
the friends of this great American game.
The team has furnished its full share of
amusement for the public during this
season, and have shown their prowess
as players by winning eighteen out of
nineteen games. Many of these games
were wrested from crack teams of Den
yer. In erecting the grand stand and
making other improvements, the mana
gers have gotten into the hole. as they
expected that sufficient funds would be
raised at the games to not only pay the
expenses of visiting teams but to can
eel all other Indebtedness. In this they
have been disappointed, and this dance
is to assist them. Patronize it and help
them out. They deserve it. They
have made sacrifices of a personal
nature for the public good, and the pub
lie should now show an appreciation.

The recent strike in the Sun and
Moon mine is certainly a source of
great satisfaction to r. C. Bonney,
the manager as well As to the own
ers of the property. 1t was opened up
in the upraise from the Newhouse
tunnel and also in the twelfth level.
1t is carefully estimated that during
the month of September fully 24OO ton
of ore will be taken out of this shoot.
While the production of this
reliable mine has amounted to
one and one half million dollars, it is
estimated that double this amount will
be taken from the extension of the old
ore shoots which have thus been open
ed owing to the large amount of vir-
gin ground. The company has been
making large expenditures in develop
ing the working and their reward seem
to be forthcoming. The company has
emphasized the fact that with great
depth the veins grow larger and richer.
After considerable talk and many ar
guments bv both sides as to whether
the professional Men or the Business
Men were champions of the city a game
of base ball has been arranged to be
played next Friday, October End, on
the local grounds, to finally decide the
championship.
The Business men claimed that the
Doctors and Lawyers were cutters and
in return the business men were called
''Pikers" and "sore heads. ., and if the
bitter feeling does not subside before
the game is played next Friday it is
feared the doctors will be kept busy
for day or two afterwards. The line
up for the game is as follows:

The friends of Charlie Berry are cou-
graduating him over the rich strike
that he recently made in the Wyandotte
mine. In the upraise about one hundred
and fifty feet above the tunnel, he has
about three feet of medium grade ore.
On Thursday afternoon the miners
opened up a streak in this medium
grade, about four inches wide. that
assays between $500 and $500 per ton.
During the past few days work has
been done under great disadvantage
owing to the white damp" gas that
has been present. A pipe is now being
run up to the top of the upraise to ex-
haust this foul air so that there will be
no interruption in the work. Mr.. Berry
will begin shipping both the high and
the medium grade ores at once and will
have enough to keep shipping continue
ally for months. He has pushed this
development with energy and contin-
uity for his faith has been unwavering
over the fact that he would make a big
mine out of the Wyandotte property.
He has done this and he deserves un-
qualified credit for his patience, per-
severance and grit.
