A QUORUM WAS
NOT PRESENT

A quorum was not present at the
special meeting of council Tuesday eve
called for the purpose of taking action
on the plans for sewerage and sewage
disposal plant. Engineer Collins who
surveyed the borough and made the
drawings was present along with Bor-
ough Engineer G.. L. KeefeI of Sun
bury. Members of council present
were: President Andrew Schatz, James
Connolly, John r. NJ. Curry, Jacob
Won Blohn and Ira Everliart, chair
man of the committee on sewers.
Notwithstanding the absence of a
quorum Engineer Collins opened the
package containing drawings, etc, re-
lating to publication of sewage, which
he sent to the borough by express IA
couple of weeks ago. The members
thus were made acquainted with much
valuable data relating to sewerage and
the sewage disposal plant, which will
be acted upon subsequently. 1t was
learned among other things that the
site selected for the sewage disposal
plant is located Just below the creeks
mouth.
Engineer Collins explained that the
plans as made reduce the danger from
high water to "a minimum. The filter
bed will be elevated so that the bot
tom drains will be three feet above the
ct,rfana Of thn ,rrn,,nI r., lA,,Angfrat
ed that the river would have to rise
twenty-five feet above the present
level before the water would interfere
with the plant at all; that the river
would have to rise six feet still nigh
er before it would put the disposal
plant out of commission.
The voluminous packet was found to
contain a valuable map of the sewer
/ system of the borough, which is in cf-
! feet map of Danville showing
Gulick's addition, the Susquchanna
! river, Mahoning creek and the entire
/ locality down the river, including the
creek S mouth and the site below it of
| the proposed sewage disposal plant
The map, which contains the present
and the proposed sewers, shows the
sizes of pipe and flow, the percentage
of grade and the topography of the
borough. 1t is general outline map,
six feet long and three feet wide, and
is altogether most valuable acquisi.
ton to the borough.
The packet contained in addition
plans for the sewage disposal plant
and some other blue and black prints.
Borough Engineer Keefer, after
looking over the drawings, spoke very
highly of the plans and said he had no
doubt but that they will be approved
by DR.. Dixon. 1nasmuch as the time
limit has about expired the plans will
( ~ doubt be sent into the State de-
/ partmcnt of health merely on.the ap-
proval of the president of council
without bein% acted on by the "utire
body as was at first intended

DANV|LLE MAN
SHOOTS A BEAR

Frank II. eager Wllie hoh'AhS
the mountains near Bellefonte last
week achieved the enviable feat OF
shooting big black bear. AS trophy
of his prowess he brought the pelt OF
bruin along back to town, placing III
on exhibition at the store OF Nj. H.
Schram, where it was viewed Saturday
by large number of people
During an interview with Mr.. 1eag-
er. who resides at No. 400 East Front
street, the following facts were learn
ed regarding the shooting of the bear;
Mr.. Yeager is "A member OF the Sny-
dertown Rifle club, which during the
deer hunting season had camp on
Penn's creek near Cherry Run station.
Besides Mr.. Yeager the following per-
sons were i'll the camp: William hoy
and Abram Zimmerman, OF snyder
town; Edward Yeager, OF Sunbury
John and Samuel Pursley, of Warren,
and David Libbey, of Weikel. The
club was hunting on White mountain
and had plenty of real sport. during
last week Abram Zimmerman shot
large five prong deer. Interest, how
ever, seems to center on the killing OF
the bear, which is an achievement be-
fore which the mere exploit of shoot
ing deer, in the estimation of most
hunters, pales into insignificance.
Mr.. Yeager ran across the bear on
the top of the mountain. When first
seen bruin was leisurely making his
way through thick growth of bushes.
Mr. Yeager was 150 yards away, but
he decided to open an attack. He fired
three shots at that distance, each one
taking effect, when the bear came out
into the open In the minute or so
following Mr.. Yeager fired five more
additional shots. Each shot took eff
feet. Bears are proverbially hard to
kill, however, and this one proved no
exception. Two of the shots knocked
the bear down, but each time he arose.
After the last shot, with eight bullets
in his body, he came down the moun-
tain Whether in his wounded state
the bear took cognizance of the man
or not is uncertain; but he came di-
rectly toward Mr.. Yeager and when
about thirty feet from him he dropped
for ,he last time.
The bear weighed 250 pounds and it
might not have been an easy matter to
have gotten the carcass into camp had
not the wounded animal accommodate
ingly came down the mountain to die.
AS a matter of fact the bear dropped
quite near the bank of the creek and
all that the hunters had to do was to
load the carcass onto a. boat and con
vey it into camp, Il distance of some
three hundred yards.
According to custom the meat was
divided among the hunters. while the
handsome pelt fell 10 Mr.. Yeager. Mr..
Schram will send the pclt to Charles
H. Eldon, the expert taXidermist of
Williamsport, who will cure the skin,
making it into a rug for Mr. Geager.

tains the head and paws of the bear
and will no doubt make strikingly
beautiful rug.
Frank r. Yeager is a carpenter by
occupation, employed ON the new work
at the hospital for the insane. He is
also a member of the National Guard
and is an expert marksman. He is a
sergeant in Company i, Twelfth regi-
ment, of this place. He made a re-
markable score during rife practice
and shot on the company team ut the
annual match held at Sunbury last
summer.

Another Rich Gold Strike Is Made
 News of another rich gold strike four miles north of the Barker-AIger. Grti1n discovery, was brought to ths iity yesterday afternoon by Roy Chit tenden.
 Acconiing to Mr. Chittsndeu. tho Information received here to the ef feet that the ore from the Great Northern claims, owned by Barker. Al6er ( Griffin, carried gold only, S'ss at fault. The assayer at SaIome told M.. Chittenden that the rocy, carries high vaines in coper and that the schist bolt would probably pro duee -Dorc wealth in copper than in gold.
 The Clara Consolidated company has already taken steFB to secure the Great Northern property. I'm n1edtateiy. after the news of tho strike was made public, George siitchei, superintendent of the lCara secured an option on the Great Northern for his company. He was to have paid S1O,0O0 for the option yesterday, but secured an extension of time until next Monday. The Jiara company will first take over the Great Northern under bond.
 The new strillo O. which Mir. Chit. tenden heard is on the claims of a. man amed r. E. DTeiser. well known i1 Ph9eniX- s3F. Chittenden saw some oi the ore from this discovery and it was just exactly like some he had dug out himself with a picl, on the Great Northern property. The rock of the district, he says. is all alike, and nearly all of it seems to cslry ifheHomenal gold values. Deis fcr's ore does not run as high in gold as that from the first find. but is ex. traordinarily rich.
 Mir. Chitteuden Jeff here Monday morning Sith A. C. Adams. a Nevada mining nan. and a prOspectOr named neLellaa. Adams went on to Parker after iDohias eve rthe district in the vicinity of the strike, while Chitten- .de1, and Mcclellan returned, to Phoo- nir.

Yet the pr0ssactOr has walked over and ignored them for fourteen years. That is why the country is stin Q yirgin field for the miner, and aithogEh the lead to this particular strike has been located for 9 couple of miles in either direction there is still ample territory for the keen To- cat1r to operate. The surest meth cd of finding 8 good claim is to pros pecI at ttSe head and the base of | quartz blowout in the vicinity of a district dilse. This Is how the bonanza discovery was made. and the sane method was pursued by Harry A1nmc in the second find that was made in the district.
 The Bonanza property was bonded for S33o 900 last Friday by Q party believed to rdTesent the Mitchells of the Clara Consolidated The first payment of S10.000 was due today. and one of the conditions is that all oe the ore that has been tsrsn out goes 10 the purchaser. + is esti- mated that this will tOta iabost S5,- 600. although $500 worth ae specf mans Sero given away by eiIs osspers Q friends during the 6rsc two days oS e1eitonsnt- Some were also stolen, as the camp is a miies distant from the mine. and to prevent fur theT offering tho hole was covered up on Tuesday, as stated above. z
 How to reach the strike is the question that many are askinp. Sa- gOne is the most feasible point of de paTture from the railroad, as here one can Obtain good hote accommo, dGtiOns and team! Take your banEets Eith you and outfit with pro vi5ioaS and camp utensils at Salome. From this point past Granite reef to Finigan's Camp, a distance of five miles. there is a fine level road. Thence down the gulch to the Desert mine. for tgG and a haif miles, the road is extremely roaght At tho Desert nine there i5 . good wgfT or water, and this is good place to camp, from whence one can make daily prospecting tours. To reach the strike from this point go north up the wash about a mile and @ half 10 Q place where a prospector 6as bis camp on the left side Of the gulch. There take the trail southWesterIv over the ridge and on the southwest slope the scene of the strike will be found. After one has been in the country for g day he will have no difficulty in locatinE-himself, but the gold hunter must qlan to spend week in the country if he expects to accomplish results.
 Most Of the locations have been made by local people along the line of the 4. & c. railroad. but the real rash from the outside did not begin untii Wednesday, when about twenty. i've gold hunters arrived at Saioma 0n the afternOn train. The weather Is delightful, there are no rattle snakes abroad, and even though you oe not lucky enough Co strike bonanza, the benefits to he derived from the outing trip are well worth the trip.
