Reports from Bluff say the Meegan Brothers will continue their quartz operations during the winter season and expect to take out a large quantity of rock for future reduction in the new type roller mill brought in last season. It will be placed in operation the first ting in the spring, crushing the rock extracted during the winter months. II is said the mill worked in excellent style during the past summer and has exceeded the highest expectations in every way. The capacity is about 30 tons a day and the operating costs are very low. Reports were circulated about the close of navigation that a number of owners of quartz properties contemplate purchasing mills of the same character this winter and will
 install them during the coming sum mcr. Judging from the reports reach ing town from Bluff, this type of mill is exactly suited to the reduction of low grade ores, such as are found in

City Attorney,

Following the reading of the recom- mendation, a motion was passed in structing the City Attorney and Clerk to prepare a resolution authorizing the City Clerk to issue warrants against funds in the city treasury on school bills approved by the school Board. This emincntly sensible method of dis posing of the school bill problem adopted the council then proceeded to the business of selecting successor to City Treasurer Phil Murphy. The resignation of the latter was accepted and Lee II. McCloy was unanimously elected to fill the office of City Treas urer for the uneXpired term. The bonds were fixed at s2OO0O and the City Clerk was instructed to notify Mir. McCloy of his election and request him to present his bonds at the next regular meeting of the council. It was agreed however. that the bonds would he accepted in the interval
 Two offers for city lots made by Jack Warwick and Faxon Lewis, respective ly, the latter offering s30 for a property located near Hogans Alley. Warwick bid $6O for the property he desired. The two offers were accepted. The Chairman of the Finance Committee announced that the time had not been sufficient to complete the auditing of the books of the fomer treasurer but the task would be finished shortly A refund in the amount collected for taxes on the property owned by Mir. Gay. amounting to s3.50 and which he had paid under protest, was ordered re- turned.

 of about three and one half feet. The h.at will be equippcd with high power
 engines and win be especially fitted for the accommodation of passengers The present intention is to operate the boat in the Dime creek trade, which has now become of considerably greater importance than that of any other town along the Boring coast A vessel of the type contemplated will be able to navigate the waters along any point on the coast and will be able to negotiate the shallow waters of the Koyuk at practically any time during the open season owing to the light draft.

Pursuant to the order of adjourn l ment of Monday night meeting, the City Council met at the City Hall last night with the newly elected Aldermen, Messrs Kemp and I.ynell in attendance. 1 in addition to the rest of the city dads. l Before proceeding with the regular 1 business, the new cOuncilmen were 1 duly ushcred into office. the oath being administered by City Attorney Hobbes. 1 Following the ceremony, the new coun- | cilmen delivered their maiden address and thanked the council for the honors upon them. also pledging them 1 selves to perform their new duties faithfully and to the best of their abi- 1 ity.
 The council then settled down to business. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved A communication from Mrs. Fanny Hal pin. owner of the Merchants Cafe, rel ative to taxes on that property and enclosed q money order for SIP 50. was read by the Clerk. As the prop erty has been assessed at S17.44, Coun- cilman McAllistcr raised demurrer against the council accepting a less sum than that imposed by the assessor.

The School Board requested hy means of @ communication that the sum of s3, 4S6. 90 be set aside hy the council to defray the expenses of conducting the public school This provoked a lengthy discussion in which the school question was ably set forth in all its phases by City Attorney Hobbes and the council.
