The company expects to have its cleo tric power operating in Jerome by April lst next. The plants which the company is installing on Fossil creek have l3,500 horse power, generated from eighteen springs on Fossil creek, about 10 miles from its junction with the Verde river. The water flow, winch is fl it. cubic per second is caught up and by means of a concrete lined conduit conducted along the west bank of the creek for a distance of about three miles where it attains a working head or pressure of nearly 800 feet and at this point the upper generating plant is located with minimum horse power of 1900. The water is again taken up and through conduit and tun- nel gains a head of l200 feet and de- velops at the lower generating station near the Verde river an additional l0,- 900 horse power. The transmission line runs from the station on Fossil to Huron, thence to Jerome, and is con- structed of steel towers on a concrete base.

Big Ely Pay Rolls.

"With the payrolls of the district exceeding 200,000S per month; with the greater number of the properties of the district working large forces of men, and with the shelter turning out copper each month, the future of Ely is apparently the brightest it has ever been," said Gordon H. Place, in an interview at Butte several weeks ago.
 "The recent advance in Giroux, which has attracted no little attention, is the logical and expected result of the rapid development and improve ment in that property. During the panic of eighteen months ago this stock dropped to the low price of 3.25s on the curb. Those who knew the property, and who could do so, in- vested in it. This was particularly true in the Ely district, where the property has always been looked upon as good proposition.
 ''The ore now being taken from the  drifts on the 1,200-ioot level is rich The general run of the ore carries l2S per ton in gold and silver, which is more than sufficient to pay transporta- tion and treatment charges, leaving the copper values as velvet The company, it is understood unofficially, will SOOn heUin tO sink a three-cOm- partment shaft to great depth to take the place of the Alpha shaft, which was seriously damaged by the big cave-in year or more ago. The con struction of a 40O-ton smelter to ac- commodate the output of concentrates from the mill will be ordered, it is be- lieved, at the annual meeting to be held next month.

Antelope Reappear on Southern
 Range.

Messrs E. Rochester and Ygnacio CalvIllo are in from their camp in the Comobabis, says the Tucson Star. On their return home, on the desert be- tween the Comobabis and the Babo- quivaris they saw herd of about fifty antelope. They are the first seen in that country for nearly twenty years.
 For the past eight or ten years they have been protected by a close season in hope that a restocking of the country by these valuable and graceful

Big Saving At Greene cananea.

The very latest advices from the property of the Greene Cananea Cop per Co. at Cananea, Mex, show that the copper output is averaging from 3,5OO,OO to 4,OOO,OOO pounds of red metal per month. This result is being accomplished by using six blast furnaces, and one reverbatory furnace. In addition only three sections of the concentrater are in commission, leav- ing one section idle.
 Improvements are going on at the property continually and some of the savings that are being secured are all most phenomenal.
 Where during the Greene regime the company was using Il boilers to secure the power required for the plant, they are now getting on with two boilers. The excess heat from the reverbatories is being used while the employ ing of oil as fuel has even exceeded the expectations of those who suggested the plan.

In statement the interstate con- merce commission elucidates the pro- vision of the law which authorizes the issue of the free transportation or re- duced rates to ministers of religion. The commission says: "A clergyman does not lose his ministerial standing by reason of the fact that he leaves the pastorate for some other field of religious activity. A minister who becomes editor of church paper, in- structor in a theological seminary, financial agent for church or other religious institution, or who engages in other work which may fairly be re- garded as religious in character, and who does not abandon his ministerial work, may legally be accorded special transportation privileges"

ment of the successor to Alderman
Whittle, who resigned and moved
to Sand Point, Idaho, a week ago.
Alderman Smart nominated Dr..
Warninger and Alderman Rhea sug-
gested E. A. Schneider. No other
names were offered and upon ballot.
ing it was found that Mr.. Schneider
had been elected as junior alderman
of the fourth ward. Mr.. Schneider's
appointment was very favorably re-
ceived by those present.
The usual number of bills were
audited and allowed. When the
city pay roll was read it was found
that City Clerk Maloy had substi-
tuted his name for that of William
McCuaig as clerk of the water
board. Mr.. Maloy was compelled
to correct the change and the pay
roll was allowed as corrected. Mr..
Maloy read a demand from himself
that he be given the position and
salary of clerk of the water board,
which amounts to $40 per month,
but the council ignored the demand
and took no action on it. The
city clerk threatened to refuse to
draw the warrant for Mr.. McCuaig's
salary.
Bids were opened for the painting
of the city hall and the contract
awarded to R. Martin, being the
lowest bid. The bids were as follows:
J. M. Price, s22264; Bemidji Dec
orators, s,S214.31;s Frank Hubert,
$3.50; R. Martin, S139.32. The
color of the building was left to the
building committee.
The bonds of the Des Moines
Bridge & Iron company, in the sum
of $4,000 for the completion of the
contract for erecting the new steel
tower and tank, were approved.
The clerk was instructed to pur-
chase two peices of suction hose ten
feet long for the fire engine and to
advertise for the sale of l, 500 feet of
fire hose, the bids to be opened in
three weeks.
George E. Kreatz, a local con-
tractor, was allowed the use of one
third the street in front of the new
building which he is erecting on
Third street for O'Leary & Bowser,
and he was compelled to furnish
$1,000 bonds for the placing of
proper safeguards against injuries to
pedestrians.
The contract and bonds of Joe
McTaggart for sprinkling the city
streets were approved. The report
of the municipal court for last week,
showing $40 paid city treasurer,
was read and accepted. The council
adjourned at 1910 o'clock.

OFFICIAL BALL TEAMS OF
TWO COUNTIES WILL PLAY
Up" Against the Koochichng County Bunch" at
international Falls on May 3Oth.

with a direct challenge from the
county officials of Koochiching
county to play the Beltrami county
chair warmers, game for fun and
"blud."
]. J. Conger, who is captain OF
the Beltrami county team, is just
itching" for a chance to skin"
some organization on the diamond,
and he has accepted the def of Mr..
Withrow and asked him to name
the date. It is understood that the
game will be played at International
Falls on May 3Oth, by. which time
it is hoped the local county bunch"
can be whipped into form so that
they can show class.
The Beltrami county official team
has won considerable renown on
the diamond, and then there has
been some of the other kind of rep
utation, derived from Indifferent
action while in play; but, altogether,
the Bemidji crowd has done very
well. The team of 1907 was an ex-
ceptionally strong club, they max
ing monkeys" out of the city official
team; and odd Hoss" Conger AYERS
his crowd of county players will
this year sweep everything before
them.
A game between the city and
county officials is very likely prior to
the game to be played at Inter-
national Falls.

MRS, SCRUTCH|N GIVEN
$500 DAMAGES BY JURY
City of Bemidji Loses in New $4,000
Damage Suit Brought BY Laura P.
Scrutchin.

The jury in the $4,000 damage
suit of Laura P. Scrutchin VS.. City
of Bemidji returned a verdict at
$40 o'clock last evening awarding
the plaintiff $500 damages, being
out on the case two hours and
twenty-five minutes.
The taking of the testimony in
this case was commenced yesterday
morning before Judge Stanton at the
present term of the district court for
Beltrami county. Attorneys E. E.
Mcdonald and c. w. Scrutchin act
ed as counsel for the plaintiff and
City Attorney J. F. Gibbons appeared
for the defendant city.
This case was tried last Septem-
Der in the district court and dam,
ages in the sum Of $50 were
allowed by the jury but the court
ruled that if, damages were to be
allowed at all that a larger COM
pensatlon should be awarded and
granted a motion for new trial.
The defendant claims that she was
injured by falling on a defective
sidewalk IN October, 1907 and the
city attorney has several times ad-
vised the city council to settle the
suit for $500 to which the plaintiff
had acquiesced, but the council had
decided not to settle for that amount.
In district court, this forenoon,
the case of William Hillgrove VS..
David Phillips was taken up. P.
]. Russell was attorney for the
plaintiff and the defendant did not
put in an appearance. This case
was an appeal from the justice
court and on motion Judge Stanton
ordered the verdict of the lower
court confirmed.
At 1:3O this afternoon the $4,000
damage suit of Mrs. Mary Johnson
VS.. DR.. J. C.. Koch of Blackduck was
taken up. Mrs. Johnson, in her
complaint, that malpractice
on the part of DR.. Koch while treat
ing a case of diphtheria, with
which her son had been suffering
and from which he later died.
Senator Peterson of Moorhead
appeared as attorney for the plaintiff
and E. E. Mcdonald of this city rep
resented DR.. Koch. =
The work of securing jury in this
case was commenced at 1:3O and at
that time it looked as if the re-
mainder of the afternoon session
would be occupied in securing the
jury to try the case, which bids to be
stubbornly contested.

prosperity to the local business men
in the Red Lake district.
