The City Government of last year claim
that they have spent 1887 90 on repairs of
school houses. Is this a large amount
considering all the school property there
is?
FIRE DEPARTMENT
They claim that they have only appro-
priated 100000 in the past two years. Is
this wise. considering the Importance and
needs of this department?
POOR DEPARTMENT
The City Government of last year claim
that they show a surplus of $4,000. Vot-
ers, do you realize that the last report
shows an expenditure of S2S7SA for the
year. and there were only six inmates for
the entire year, and one person for sev-
enty-two days? This figures out nearly
s464.00, to each inmate about $500 per week
for each person. Is this a good showing?
REDUCTION OF CITY DEBT
Why should not the debt be reduced?
There has been appropriated the past
two years $2000.00 for this purpose. This
has been assessed against the tax payers
and they have paid this amount in and
the debt should have been reduced 100000.
but it has been oily reduced about s15O0.00.
What has become of the other $4,000?
TAX RATE
The City Government claim that they
have reduced the tax rate the past year.
How did they do it? The estate of Benz.
Vaughan turned in for taxation last year
$3.50, 0O0.00 of taxable property, paying
tax on this of over $4,000. If it had not
been for this God-send the tax rate would
have scared way above anything ever be-
fore known in this city.
STREET LIGHTS
Do you realize that the City Govern
ment have tied up the city to pay $500. 90
more per year for lights on Water Street
for the next ten years (they say only
Ave years., amounting to $S000O0 where
there were no call for these lights and
that traders in Augusta say these new
lights do not give as much light as the
old ones? Voters. look into these things
and put in men that will work for tpe
City's best interests.

JOE PLATT INSPECTS COPPER .,
CANYON PROPERTY

J.. A. Plat, one of the fortunate
and deserving owners of the Big
Four lease at Rochester, was in town
yesterday, having arrived the even
ing before from Copper canyon. Mr..
Plat was in the new placer camp a
couple of days inspecting the proper
ty which he and his associates, Will
liam Robinson and Mr.. Lit, recently
acquired, having made a large mi
tial payment. Mr.. Plat was more
than satisfied with their property and
the general showings in the district,
which he predicts will be a heavy
producer of gold during the year.
A force of men is at work on the
property purchased by Mr.. Platt and
associates and they have arranged
for the immediate construction of q
twO-mile pipe line, to bring water
OTTO their sluicing ground for sluic-
ing operations. The water is to be
pumped from an old mine and though
this will be quite expensive the eX-
penditure is justified by the richness
of their grOund.-Humboldt Star.

DEALS IN COPPER CANYON
PLACERS ADVANCE WORK

Copper Canyon placers are -four
ishing and from the number of deals
and readjustments negotiated are
being put in shape for a grand pro-
duction just as soon as the winter
weather quits. In addition to the
big deal consummated last week by
the Big Four company of Rochester
there have been several other pur-
chases made, some of which we are
not at liberty to mention just yet.
Among them was the transaction
wherein NJ. E. Lewis bought u his
partner, Harrington. They were
both interested in the second 200
feet of the Jurey claim in Copper
Canyon, just south the 200 feet
owned by B~otchedean and associates.
This ground is a portion of the
richest in the canyon. 1t is opened
on bedrock. The shaft is located on
the line between the two blocks of
ground. Lewis will place at this
shaft a gasoline hoist and both blocks
of ground will be worked through
this shaft, which will insure speedy
and economical action.
Nothing has been heard from the
injunction suit submitted to the fed
eral court in Carson. This is doubt
less owing to the recent illness of
Judge Harrington. Wednesday At
torney General Thatcher went to
Tonopah to be there several days,
consequently a decision cannot be
looked for sooner than next week,
if then.
During the week quite a strike of
placer gold was reported from Phil
adelphia canyon, where Sheehy and
Williams had reached bedrock and
were taking out the gold.-Battle

DEFICIT
Charlie Queer Character, Dead

"Old Charlie for twenty years a
familiar figure along the southwest
er.i section of the Sunset Route, and
known to Southern Pacific trainmen
everywhere, is dead, much to the
grief of those who knew him. He
was known by no other name, and
his real identity will probably always
be shrouded in mystery.
old Charlie was mentally defici-
ent in many ways, but he had a keen
eye for track trouble, and while not
employed by the Southern Pacific,
performed Voluntarily and diligently
the work of track walker on a con-
tinuous journey that usually found
him somewhere between Ell Paso and
Yuma. He was known to members
of every train crew, station agents,
and practically all of the section
crews in the Southwest and everyone
did his best to tighten the burdens OF
his life. For twenty years he took
the railroad under his care, and
scores of times has inspected block
signals and roadbed, all the time
sending in painstaking and what to
his mind were essential reports on

$3.50 RECIPE FREE
FOR WEAK MEN
SEND NAME AND ADDRESS TO.
DAY-YOU CAN HAVE 1T FREE
AND BE STRONG AND
VIGOROUS

We have in our possession a
prescription for v debility, lack
of vigor, weakened manhood, failing
memory and lame back. brought on
by excess, unnatural drains, or
the follies of youth, that has cured
so many worn and nervous men
right in their own homes-without
any additional help or medicine
that we think every man who wishes
to regain his manly power and
virility, quickly and quietly, should
have a copy. So we have determined
to send a copy Of the prescription
free of charge, in a plain, ordinary
sealed envelope to any man who will
write us for it.
This prescription ZONES from a
physician who has made a special
study of men and we are convinced
it is the surest-acting combination for
the cure of deficient manhood and
vigor failure ever put together.
We think we owe to u fellow
man to send them a copy in con-
fidence so that any man anywhere
who is weak and discouraged with
repeated failures may stop drugging
himself with harmful patent medi-
cines, secure what we believe is the
understanding restorative, upbuild-
ing, SPOT-TOUCHING remedy ever
devised, and so cure himself at home
quietly and quickly. Just drop us a
line like this: Interstate Remedy
Co., 1919 Goodyear Bldg, Detroit
Mich, and we will send you a copy
Of this splendid recipe in a plain
ordinary envelope free of charge. A
great many doctors would charge
$500 to $500 for merely writing
out a prescription like thls-but we
send it entirely free. Advt.

dip a large area of stopping backs
will be made available above the
deepest level. Another cross-cut, on
the fourth level, is being driven to

assays up to $40 per ton. The mine
is reported to be in good condition

j. K. Turner, consulting engineer
for the Jumbo Extension company,
is now directing the course of the
development work and has returned
from a visit to the Bonnie Glare mill,
which has been treating ore from
the Jumbo Extension mine at the
rate of about 1900 tons monthly.
This mill is under lease to a sub
sidiary company, the stock of which
is owned by the Jumbo Extension
company.
The ore is of such character, con
tanning a high percentage of copper
and some silver, that a high recovery
is not made under the present sys-
tenn of simple concentrating and Mr..
Turner is now considering, with Mill
Superintendent Lockman, a process
of Recommendation, which will in
volve merely the pumping of the con-
c%entrate, after passing the lower
tier, to the upper Deister tables that
are below the second batteries. The
mill is equipped with a pump for
this purpose and the proposed oper-
alton will involve no expense beyond
a small amount of power daily and
it is believed it will effect a consid-
erably better recovery in the concen-
trates.
