l, Election of Members of the Commission
prescribed by S 2 of the Ordinance 1st
April 1908 concerning the Cultivation
OF Cotton as requested by Govern
ment's Letter of 1st Sept, No. 1882.
The Chairman pointed out that the S
TENDERS to be elected need not necessarily
be Members of the Council but must be
cotton-cnltivators. and he would take it for
granted, that Members would now like to
confer as to who should be elected to
allow time for that, he would postpone the
e!cction I'll after the recess.

counts for l9O5-O6.

REMARKS

While on amount of $500 FIR. was granted
by additional grant to the budget 1907-O8
for the establishment of the Militia Corps,
no grant was applied for on the budget 1908
90.
As the amount granted last year for equip
ment will not altogether sufice-among
other things it will be necessary to have
shoes made for the cavalry division for car
rying the Iifes-a further amount of 1900
FIR is proposed for grant, while it is plopos-
ed to grant 600 FIR. for uncertain expenses,
including writing materials, extra-writing,
and possible extra supplies.
The Governor intrr duced the Bill, stating
that he had nothing further to add to what
is already stated in the remarks accompany
ing the bill; in regard to the Amendment
proposed by the Municipal Committee he
would say that Government has no objections
10 entertain the amendment.
The Chairman said, that the matter now
before the ouncil is only the Draft submit
ted by Government.
No one requested the word 1st discussion
was closed; the Bill passed t. 2nd discussion,
with the consent of Government and the
unanimous vote Of The Council the 2nd dis
cussion came ON at once.

Impressive descriptions come 10
funeral of King Toffa, 80 years ruler
of Porto Novo, West Africa, bright
and shining light in his way, especial
ly when compared with such mis-
creants as his former neighbors. the
ex-kings of Dahomey. Good and peace
able African kings are no. likely to be
much In the public eye. but such po-
tentates are rare birds along the
Guinea coast, and Toffa's isolation in
this respect made him rather conspic-
uous. So French soldiery turned out
to honor his funeral, the governor OF
the colony the resident of the protec-
torate, and other functionaries and
merchants Joined the long procession
that would have been imposing even
If confined to the members OF Toffa' S
own family. The 300 widows and the
numerous progeny left to mourn him
were all in line, adding their lamenta-
tions to those of thousands Of his sub
jects who knelt beside the road to the
tomb. 1t takes large grave to hold
all things that king OF Toffa's i'm
portance may need in the other
world. Everything from wine to
matches and candles. including 10000
francs in silver, went into the tomb
with his body. This silver is not lost
TO the world. The royal shade will
need only the ghosts OF the substan.
tials that surround his ashes. and in
four years from the day of his inter
ment the silver is to be dug up to pay
the expenses OF memorial fete in
honor of good Toffa.

nouncement of the discovery of vast
and entirely new bodies OF fabulously
rich ore In No. 2 shaft in the 1,50O-foot
level Of the Portland mine, confirming
the report of the first OF these discov'
cries published few days ago.
The latest discovery, which was
made within the last few days, is re-
garded by mining men of Cripple Greek
and Colorado Springs as absolutely the
most important find In the history OF
the Cripple Creek district, and is said
TO be second only TO the actual discov'
cry of the camp itself in 1891.
One OF the new veins, according TO
former President Howbert, has no con
nection with any OF the ore bodies In
the upper levels, and is larger and
richer than even the bonanza Captain
and Hidden Treasure veins. which were
largely responsible for the $7,S67, ,0SC
paid out in dividends by the company
The tremendous significance OF this
new find at depth of 1.500 feet lies in
the proof, beyond all doubt. that there
is a greater and richer Cripple Creek
under the present Cripple Creek.
