Mineral Point, Wis.

viding for government building for
the city, as he thought that no city in
the district is more entitled to it than
is Mineral Point.
At the regular meeting of the Com
mercial Club, held Monday night, the
committee made their report, which
included the reading of the letters re-
ferred to above. The report was, on
motion, accepted. A resolution was
presented and adopted, asking the
president of the Club to take the matter
up with the common council, and Cir
culate petition throughout the city.
G. J. Fawkes, president of the Club,
appointed said committee as follows
H. w. Priestley, w. A. Jones and B. T.
Prideaux.
A public meeting will in all probabii
ity be called to give full consideration
to the important question of securing a
federal building for Mineral Point.
Congressman Kopp is correct in his
statement that this is the first time that
an application of the kind has been
made by Mineral Point Considering
the amount of federal revenue collected
here, the city has surely been slow in
making the request. Other and smaller
places, that do no give to the federal
government one tenth part of the rev.
enue which Mineral Point does, have
been asking for appropriations. Mineral
Point is entitled to at least some con-
sideration for the modest way in which
she now makes her request.

A FEDERAL
BUILDING
The Commercial Club Takes Steps
to Secure One for Mineral
Point.
CITY COUNCIL TO
BE ASKED TO ACT
Committee OF Club Reports Pro
gress in the Matter.

Some time ago committee was ap-
pointed by the Commercial club to look
after the interests Of Mineral Point in
the matter Of securing an apprOpria-
ton for the erection Of a federal build
ing here.
w. A. Jones, chairman Of the com
mittee, under date OF April 30, wrote
to our representative in congress, A. w.
KOpp, informing him of the fact that
committee had been appointed to
confer with him in regard to the advi
stability of asking for an appropriation
for a government building for Mineral
Point. In this letter Mr.. Jones stated
that the revenues derived by the fed
eral government at Mineral Point, by
customs duty paid by the Mineral Point
Zinc company on ores shipped in from
Canada and Mexico added to the post
office revenues would, he believed, far
exceed any other city in the Third con
gres sional district. AS soon as Mr..
Jones succeeded in obtaining statistics
as to the amount Of postal revenues re-
ceived here by the federal government
and the customs receipts on ore received
by the Mineral Point Zinc company
during the year 1910, he sent them to
Mr.. Kopp. He stated that he found the
post office receipts to be something over
IS, 300, and that the customs receipts
paid by the Mineral Zinc company were
S13O, 686. .S2, making the total receipts
nearly $40 900 for the year 1910. Mr..
Jones further stated in his lettar to
Mr.. Kopp that this showing ought to
be sufficient ground on which to ask and
receive a reasonable amount for fed
eral building, and that he did not be-
live that there are five cities in the
district whose revenues to the federal
government combined would equal that
produced by Mineral Point alone; that
we have Deputy q. S. Collector OF
Customs located here, who has to do
business in his private office, and has
no means available from which he can
pay Office rent.
On the I'd of the present month Mr..
Kopp replied to Mr.. Jones two letters
stating that to the best Of his remem
brance this is the first request he has
had from Mineral Point for the intro
duction of bill providing for federal
building for the city. He said that
under the law postoffice must have an
income of $4,000 annually, or the city
must have population Of 10000 to en-
title it to an appropriation for federal
building. He hoped that the Mineral
Point postoffice receipts by the end of
the present fiscal year might reach
$4,000, and that it would give him
great pleasure to introduce bill pro-

Mrs. Alex. McNeill.

The sad and unexpected news of the
death of Mrs. Alex Mcneil reached
here by telegram on Sunday night,
May IA. About month ago she
went to Lewistown, Montana, on ac-
count of the illness of her father, Mr.
Fr ank Day. Her youngest daughter
Clara accompanied her, and was with
her when she passed away at about
five O clock on Sunday afternoon.
The family here were not aware of her
illness until about week ago, and up
to day or two before her death it was
supposed that she was recovering. Her
death was caused by hemorrhages,
brought on by stomach trouble.
Every possible care was given
her, but without avail. Her maiden
name was Mary j. Day. She was born
in Mineral Point, and died in the 50th
year of her age. On May 2, 1881, she
was united in marriage to MI. Alex.
McNeill. To them were born five
daughters and three sons, namely:
Margaret A., John t., Charlotte,
Minerva j., Alice E., Clara M, Alex.
j., and William W., all of whom are
living The family made their home
in the town Of Waldwick up to nine
years ago, when they removed to Min
eral Point, that the children might have
the advantages of the public schools
here.
Mrs. McNeill was known far and
wide for her hospitality and great
kindness of heart. While her home and
it's duties were her first great care, she
was ever ready to help and extend sym
pathy to those in affiiction. She will
be greatly missed in the home and in
community.
The body will be brought here and the
funeral will take place on Thursday af
ternoon from Trinity Church, of which
she was communicate. The COM
munity deeply sympathizes with the
bereaved family in their sudden and
great affliction.
