BUSY AT COPPER FLAT.

At Copper Flat things are fast
shaping for production. Two con
struction trains have been running
up to the fiat every morning from
Ely City and returning at night
They are getting the yard at the Flat
which will accommodate ore ship
ments and the traffic that goes there
in shape as fast as it can be done.
The yard will be ready for service
in a very little while. Probably not
anothee yard in the country will have
the distinction of as high value Is
this in worth of material entering
into construction. The steam SHOW
els have been tearing off the over
burden at the Flat to make the fills
required in this yard and to surface
the tracks properly. Every pound of
this dirt carries a little copper and
a mite of gold and silver. The thou
sands of tons of it which are being
put in the yard may some day he
probably worked by system yet to
be discovered. At this time ii is
hardly practicable. though it could
be mace use of in pinch. With the
millions upon millions of tons of
higher grade material underlying the
thin surface of overburden at the
Flat, however. this top stuff looks
very cheap and good only to be got
out of the way that the empire of
wealth underneath may be attacked
and converted into dollars.

David H. Friend, sol South Sixth
avenue, whose efforts to find wife

respondence gained him much motor
iety last winter, was arrested Monday
night by OFFICER Hanson. Friend was
charged with buying and carrying In
to the Iowa Central shops whisky,
which he resold to workmen housed
there 1t Is said that he made two
trips for that purpose last night. and
the police claim that after he was ar
rested he admitted that his trips to
the shops were made for the purpose
of selling intoxicants.
This morning he was arraigned be-
fore Mayor Ingledue, who took pity on
him and after sentencing him to thirty
days in jail, let him go pending good
behavior. The United States deputy
marshal at Des Moines was telephoned
regarding the case by Chief of Police
w. o. Nicholson. He was not In Des
Moines, but word was left to have him
telephone Nicholson tonight. 1t is pos
sible that he may insist on a more Sc

DouDs ARE ARRESTED.

Family Row in Timber Creek Results

A row between members of the

flush with money and needs the mon
ey.' IL the bill had mt been figured
correctly figure 1t down to what IT
should be and pay 1t,
The mayor also thought the bill
ought to be paid as rendered py
Thompson.
Psenicka then moved to allow SASS,
and with Devine and Clark absent
Gregory, Jay and McMains voted no.
This carried the motion to pay s44.sS.
Then the situation stood thus One
warrant ordered drawn for $24. and
another ordered drawn for S44.SS, to
pay bill of $46.50.
The mayor called the councils at
tention to this fact, and Psenicka sug-
gested repeal of the $24 resolution OF
June g. The mayor held that the reso-
luton could be repealed only at the
same meeting or the first meeting fol-
lowing thereafter. Clerk Derby said
that the fact that the council had al
ready ordered the bill paid at $24 VI
tiated the action In ordering the same
bill paid again at SASS. The mayor
suggested a way out by repeating the
$44.SS resolution and drawing another
WALL all III pAu.ooi WANNA V'sAA NN~
already paid, would make the $44.SS
Psenicka then moved to reconsider the
SASS resolution. Jay talked against
paying any such price for work that
the Reflector had promised to do for
$24, and Psenicka drew striking u
lustration to Jay as follows:
Suppose you are called to see pa
tient. and go day after day. and the
patient dies. Wouldn't you be entitled
to your pay?"
Members laughed, presumably at
the point Mr.. Psenicka had made. Her
man launched into one of his charac-
teristic appeals for the poor man. and
believed Mr.. Thompson had earned his
money Mr.. Herman said that In reali-
ty Thompson had printed 1000 copies
instead of 3,S20, and had distributed
them within the city. Mayor Ingledue
had previously said that 1t required
about $500 circulars to completely bill
the town.
On the vote to reconsider all voted
aye but Jay. The motion lacked one
vote, with those absent. to receive
three fourths vote necessary to recon
slider.
So the matter stands just where 1t
has. The Reflector has now had two
resolutions passed paying the same
bill, and still the bill has not been paid.
The mayor will veto the SASS resolu-
ton in order to get around the diff
fieulty that confronts the council by
reason of paying the same bill twice.
And the question is still unanswered
as to who ordered the extra copies
printed.
