MRS. P.L. NICHOLS,
WIDOW Of NOTED
CITIZEN, IS DEAD
She Had Kept Up Charitable
Work with Which He Had
Been Identified.

The funeral of Mrs. Parmelia J..
Nichols. who died yesterday at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. William A.
Lewis, 152 Roseville avenue. will be
held there at s o'clock tonight. The
services. and the interment tomorrow
in Morristown, viii be private.
= Mrs. Nichols. who was the widow Of
Jonathan V. Nichols. was the daughter
of Robert Lindsey, of Morristown.
Most of her girlhood was spent in her
native town. though she afterward
went to New York. and then to Or
ange. where she lived for fifty years.
In 1860 she married Mr.. Nichols, the
first architect in the State. He was
: prominent in establishing a fire de-
partment in Newark, and at the time
of his marriage was foreman of Hook
and Ladder Company No. 2. an alder
man from the Second Ward and a di-
rector of the Firemen's Insurance Com
pany.
He was the designer of the building
of that company. and the figure Of
the fireman on h cupola Is a repre-
sentation of him, in recognition Of his
| services to the city.
He was instrumental in getting the
first steam fire engine IN the State for
Newark, and designed and erected the
first two engine-houses. The older
residences in South Broad street are
mostly of his construction, as are many
in the Llewellyn section OF West Or
ange.
Toward the last of the Civil Wan he
invented the mbre tent too late
for it's adoption by the government.
Mr.. Nichols vas long identified with
| charitable movements in the city, n
after his death Mrs. Nichols continued
the work as far as her health would
permit.
Though Mrs. Nichols's death was
sudden, it was not entirely unexpected,
as she had not been we'll for some
years. She is survived by a son.

SHERIFF SOMMER
SCORES STATES
PENAL SYSTEM
Newark Academy Alumni Hear
Him in Attack on Saloon
and Cheap Theatre.

Many men of diverse e attended
the twenty-second dinner of the alumni
of Newark Academy in Davis's par
lors last night. The graduates of rs
we're as enthusiastic in cheering old
masters and carried the old schools
songs as manfully as the 'nedgling'
who was admitted only last year.
Sheriff Sommer, n of the speakers,
denounced the States penal system as
defective, and declared that every man
should work for the bills now pending
providing for q house of detention for
witnesses and juvenile prisoners, ana
for the passage of a law regulating the
cheap theatres.
There are two great public evils, ="
declared the sheriff. One Is the saloon
and the other the cheap theatres, and
if | had q boy and he had to choose
between them. / would advise him to
| so to the saloon. Sixty per cent of our
juvenile prisoners are in custody for
stealing to see these cheap shows

George w. Tomkins, vice president

that If the Grand Jury had made the

made recently by the members of the

been indictments galore.
IF "a grand jury had inspected the
schools as well as the jails and other
institutions he said, there would
have been many indictments"
Mr.. Tomkins concluded with al APP
peal to the audience to refuse ito see
the school fund Topped of II of its
a~ppendages," as all the money that
could be. procured will be needed to
bring the schools up to the required

DIR. William OtG. Quinby, president
of the association for 1907, acted as

horse power three-phase induction motor and a street car controller.
 The current will come from the Wi nona's electric station, equipped with a three-phase 60-cycle generator fur nishing 2,300 volts at 120 revolutions a minute. As complete identification as possible is planned both under ground and surface and if the hoist ing is successful there will be no need for isolated steam plants, but all boil CTS can be concentrated at the com pressor and generator stations. Af- ter the Winona generator capacity is reached King Philip will install a gen orator in it's big power plant on the bank of the Sleeping river, where room has been left fer it.
 Heretofore Winona's future seemed confined to the south end of the prop erty. tributary to No. and No. 1 shafts. but recently the north drifts al the ninth and tenth levels have been opening ground well charged with cop- per as they approached No. shaft, which had been discontinued because of its mfavorable outlook. Winona's other openings continue of the same favorable character as heretofore.
 ~ I the sixth level shows a material i'm provemeut over that at the fifth level, which was itself good. At the sixth level the lode is 25 feet wide, with or CT 20 feet carrying excellent copper values.
 While a mill for Winona and King Philip is not to be given early consid. eration, some thought has been given to a site. Measurements are to be made to determine the volume of water that is available on the watershed tributary to the Sleeping and Little Sleeping rivers, and if it is found sufficient a min site at the mine may be selected. There is unlimited sand room, extend ing for nearly two miles on the com pany's property and not in the channel of any stream. It would be practicable to collect the water after the sand was deposited and from a central basin pump it back for use in the mill over and over, instead of letting it escape To Lake Superior.
 Wyandot has revealed encouraging copper ground in the shaft which it is sinking 1900 feet east of the Winona lode. This is in horizon believed to conform to the Baltic lode. 4 few months ago 300-foot shaft there was unwatered and has now reached 50C feet. The lode is irregular and the
 shaft sinking in a-straight a line, is us ually in the hanging wall, but g 'heave" in the formation brought the lode in the line of the shaft and for several days good copper ground was opened. The lode then sagged again and the shaft is now in the hanging wall.
