Routine business was laid aside
by the council for two hours last
night while it took under consider
alton the matter of the Lysacker
saloon license. After hearing all
the witnesses both sides had to
offer, the council voted unani-
mously that the license be can
Celled
City attorney, Graham Torrance,
conducted the case tor the city and
attorney Scrutch,n appeared for
the saloon interests. The council
chambers were packed and after
disposing Of the current bills, the
license case was at once taken up.
Witnesses called by the city were
Martin Rose, John Granger, chief
of police Benner, Joe La Va!ly,
county attorney McKusick and
George Denely. The general trend
of the testimony was that the
Lysaker place had bad reputation,
both upstairs and down. Witnesses
said that they had seen the dumb
waiter from the saloon to the upper
floor used many times to carry up
drinks and that money had come
down.
Most of the witnesses also said
that they had seen policemen Dahl
and Smith in the house at late hours.
The proceedings seemed about
evenly divided between show ing why
the two policemen should not be on
the force as to show that the Lysaker
license should be revoked. Mayor
Parker and some of the council OBJ
jected to taking the time of the
council to hear the case when the
mayor could settle it outside. but it
was decided to finish the matter at
once.
Witnesses for Lysaker were Eva
Langdon, Clarence La Valley, Ray
Goodheart, and Lysacker himself.
Their testimony was to the effect
that the dumb waiter was for the
Lysacker family use and not used to
convey drinks to other parties. They
said that the place was not open on
Sundays and was orderly in every
respect. The testimony of both
sides did not differ much from that
brought out in the Lysacker and
Langdon trials last week.
After Lysacker had testified, a
resolution was introduced that his
license be cancelled and on the roll
call, no adverse votes were heard.
Sam Olsen, an unknown party to
any of the councilmen, appeared
before the council with bill of sale
for the Lysacker saloon, but after
the license was cancelled, he was
seen no more and the bill was still
on the table.

engineer was told to prepare an
estimate of the cost.
Mayor Parker was appointed a
committee of one and given $50 to
be used in fixing up the cemetery.
This work has already been done
by the G. A. r. so the mayor will
pay the bills incurred and use the
surplus in more cleaning up. The
G. A. R. understood that the city
would do this and so went ahead,
but state law says that city money
cannot be appropriated to any
society so the mayor was instructed
to do the work.
No extension to Irwin avenue.

that he could not recommend the
petition asking that Irwin avenue
be extended through Whites adj.
ditlon. The petition asks that
the avenue ba extended in two

the extension through Whites ad-
dition was left to the street com
mite for later report.

MINES YIELD ORE FOR
CENTURY AND A HALF
Pennsylvania Hills, Once Owned
by Penn Family, Producing

LEBANON, Pa, June 30.-After pro-
ducing ore continuously for more than
a century and a half, with a great re-
serve disclosed by exploration by
means of a diamond drill, the Cornwall
iron ore mines, situated at the foot of
the South mountains, six miles south OF
this city, constitute one of the most
frequently visited, interesting and IN
structive spots in Lebanon valley.
The history of the mines-comprising
three mountains of magnetic iron ore
dates back to Penn, whose three sons
included il in a sale of a tract of TO-
600 acres early in the eighteenth CEN
tury. Peter Grub acquired ownership
in 1892 paying $675 for 300 acres, and
ever afterward the mines figured large
ly in the iron industry of the country.
Later Robert Coleman secured from
Grubb, his employer, fiVe-siXths inter-
est in the mines and until the closing
years of the nineteenth century they
continued to be in control of the Cole
man and Grubb families, who built up
great fortunes from the product of the
hills.
When the loss of the fortune of Rob
ert Coleman, early in the nineties, the
Lackawanna Iron and Coal company
purchased his interest in the mines,
furnaces and railroad, and has since
increased its holdings by purchase
from other heirs.
Early in the present century the
Pennsylvania Steel company purchased
the holdings Of other Coleman heirs
and today holds a controlling interest
in the vast deposits. The mines are
now equipped with the very latest in
ventions for taking the ore from the
earth and preparing it for delivery al
the furnaces owned and operated by
the Pennsylvania, LackaWanna, Ro-
besonia and other furnace companies
hereabouts.
annually students from Lehigh uni
versity make pilgrimages to the mines
to add to their store of knowledge
concerning the great deposit and its
equipment The mines are rich in
minerals other than iron, and for that
reason students from other colleges
than Lehigh find much to interest and
instruct them there. The scenery
about the mines is most beautiful al
all times and has provided an almost
inexhaustible supply of views for the
amateur and professional photng-
rapher.

TAFT'S BROTHER-IN-LAW IN

mer White House, Beverly, Mass. Yes
terday an automobile owned by DR..

operator, while another will read the
returns describing the battle, blow for
blow Manager Bovyer has received
the assurance of Hon. Timothy D. Sui
livan, stakeholder of the fight, and
one of the owners OF the Los Angeles
theater that the bulletins will be re-
ceived here just as fast as an operator
at the Reno end of the wire can send
them.
The new bill, headed by Kara, the
worlds famous jugglcr, will open Mon
