The Webster City council is not to
blame because there is no law in the
state of Iowa compelling the pub
fishing of council proceedings. The
present legislature, however, ought
to write such law on the statute
books and it should also include
school boards. City Jour-
nal.
The Freeman is glad that
sentiment is being created favor
able to a law providing for publicity
of city council and school board pro-
ceedings. If such bodies published
proceedings, as the boards Of super
visors do, possibly less cause for the
charge of extravaganza would exist.
The city council of Boone, however,
has for years published detailed
statements, we believe monthly,
showing where every dollar expend-
ed by that body goes to.

It appears now that the democrats
are going to have a majority of two
in the next United States senate. AT
ter the fourth of March the demo
cratic party will have control of the
house, senate and presidency, for the
first time since the war, except in
1893. At that time the party re-
tanned control of the three branches
only two years. Wonder if history
will repeat itself in this regard in
two years from now? 1t all depends
upon the democratic party as repre-
sented by the president and con-
gress.

Climax Mine a Producer:

After several weeks of idleness ow- ing to scarcity of water, the ten stamps of the mill of the Climax Mining Con- pany on the Hassayampa, are again rumbllng on the accumulated ore dump of several hundred tons, the plant resuming on Monday morning.
 From the flow of water coming down the stream, It is probable that several weeks of supply is assured, until the management perfects plans for storage that ne has under consideration for some months. During the suspension of milling, development has been go. Ing ahead energetically in the old and new workings, and from the character of the output it is stated the values will be heavy in free gold, If not sur- prlsing. The past spring has been an unusually dry one, and aside from the freshets occasioned by cloudbursts, the Hassayampa has been carrying less water than known in third of cen tury. Steady rains of the past two weeks in that shed, again insure re- turn to old-time conditions for the next three or four months at least, is the belief of those acquainted with that country.-Prescott Journal Miner.

 This addition, the dimensions of which are l2xlS, will be used as a gen. eral equipment room for engineers. The main structure will house three fire proof vaults, the largest of the three will be in the basement, and it's dimensions are l5x30. The ether two vaults, the slzes of which are lSx2O. will be above the basement.

A Golconda, Nevada, dispatch says: The big cOncentrator and smelter of the Glasgow x Western company at Golconda, built twenty years ago at a cost of approximately quarter of a million dollars and upon which prob- ably as much more has been expended since ln additions and changes, has been sold for junk.

Included in the sale were thirty.ton samping mill, hard ly used at all, and complete i've stamp quartz mill which were never set up. These will be sold at but a fraction of their cost, together with a million feet of lumber, two million brick, one hundred tons of corrugated iron, seventeen railroad ore cars and an enormous amount of mining and milling machinery.

peared to be growing restless, and
fearing to take any more chances on
him, the auctioneer suddenly con-
cluded:

refused it.
