AT the regular meeting OF the coun-
Gil Monday evening the Chief of Police
submitted his annual report to the
council in which a review of his de-
partment during the past year was
made. The report shows a total OF
223 arrests by the police department,
of which lis were plain DRINKS. The
balance covers variety of infractions
of the criminal laws, - being for bur-
glary, - for petit larceny and the
balance being divided among a dozen
or more criminal counts. OF the num-
Der arrested six were sent to the State
Prison at Waupun and three to the
Green Bay Reformatory. \ great ma
iority of the balance soiorned for time
at the county jail. The Chief asked for
an extra man for service in his depart
ment and the matter Of granting the
request will be taken up later.
The question of whether or not the
Elks Club should take out a liquor IL
cense created considerable discussion
at the meeting, in spite of the fact that
the matter was thoroughly aired and
considered as settled about a year ago.
The discussion Monday evening follow
ed closely on the consideration Of the
application of ]. j. Elmer for saloon
license in the building formerly occu-
pied by Omar Gauthicr. Alderman
Wendorf insisted on an opinion ON the
subject from the City Attorney. There
is an opinion on file now by the City
Attorney given at the time OF the dis
cussion of the matter last spring, in
which Mr.. Hougen held that the local
lodge was not required to take out 4
retail liquor license. 1t is probable
that opinions will be procured on the
question and the matter will again be
settled within a short time.
The question of the vacation Of South
Sixth Street on the petition ofthe Rahr
Sons Company was taken up and COM
munication from William Rahr, ST..
was read. in which he withdrew his
objection to the vacation of the street.
The matter, however, was not settled
definitely as the Rahr Sons Company
contemplate a change in the plans
formerly made for their building and
upon their request the vacating Of the
street was deferred until the next
meeting.

Since the connection on the 1900 level of the Briggs and Hoatson shafts has been made, all hoisting and surface work at the Briggs has been discontinued, the ore and waste from this shaft being now handled through the Hoatson shaft. The pumps in the Briggs, which are the largest in the district are being disconnected and will be taken out of the shaft
 except those which will be needed when sinking is resumed. The water from the Briggs now runs by gravity through the drift connecting with the Hoatson on the 1860 level From the Hoatson it runs also by gravity to the 1500 level of the Junction and from thence it is pumped to the sur face by the powerful pumps at that shaft. Although the work required of these pumps will be greatly increased by this arrangement they will have no difficulty in handling this addition al amount of water as they have not been run heretofore at their full cap acity and the contingency of this work being at some time performed by these pumps was figured on at the time of their installation.

richest mines in the copper list when if first found it's treasure. It was not uncommon to open stopes giving so to 40 per cent copper. As the mine went deeper these very rich spots disappeared excepting for occasional small punches of ground. The average in the lower levels is far below that of the upper or of the 300 to lOOo- foot.
 Nor is the rule confined to the cop per mines. In the iron ore fields there are many similar occurrences. Nearly all the mines in Ishpeming were rich in ore near surface. The quality ran down with the shafts and the phos- phorus also generally increased with depth.
 The Pewabic mine, at Iron Noun tain, on the Menominee range, was one of the greatest producers of pure ore ever opened, and was the talk of the country for several years. As the shafts grew deeper the very rich ore disappeared and that of much ieaner grade took it's place
 The Jackson hard ore mine, the first opened in the Lake Superior country, was rich in it's surface open ings. but grew leaner and very badly mixed in it's lower workings. The Colby and others on the Gogebic range, were bigger and richer on top than on the bottom.
 There are hundreds of instances that can be cited showing that Calu- met & Hecla follows the same general rule that may be observed in all mines of all districts gold and silver included.
 The depreciation in the mineral values of the Calumet & Hecla need not worry the shareholders of this company. It is still a great property despite the lowering of the copper in it's ton of rock. It has introduced many economies that go a long way to make up for the depreciation of mineral. What the company most needs is better price for the copper

The new com pressor recently installed in the power house is now being run at almost its full cacapity.

Power from this compressor is now being furnished to the Holbrook, Spray, Gardner, Lowell and Sacramento shafts for hoisting and other purposes and it's success ful operation has resulted in a great saving of fuel and labor. The connec- tion between the Sacramento and Low ell shafts by means of a winze sunk from the Lowell has been completed and hoisting machinery to be operat- ed in the winze will soon be in opera ton.
 The precipitating plant is now furnished with all the water neces- sary to it's operation and great quan- ities of cans and other forms of old tinware are now being handled to the plant. Before the recent rains the supply of mine water, necessary for the precipitation, was becoming short and the plant was at times shut down but there is no scarcity now, and this operation started as an assured success. Work on the White Tail Deer shaft is being pushed rapid ly and the indications are entirely favorable and satisfactory. Should ore be encountered in this shaft drifts will be run to determine the nature and extent of the deposits and should they be large and rich enough to warrant It they will be tapped from one of the Copper Queen shafts or a large shaft will be sunk upon them.
