IRON ORE FOUND BELOW LITTLE
p. FALLS

While grading the roadbed for the
new route of. Trunk Highway No. 81,
'between Little Falls and Royalton, in
the swamp near the 500 railroad, Wed
nesday, workmen struck loose deposits
of iron ore, some Of which was said to
be high grade. It was thought that
this particular part of the road would
cause trouble from settling, being in
swamp, but instead Of soft spongy
ground, the crew encountered hard
sandy soil. It has not been learned
whether there is any large quantity of
iron ore here but Contractor Looney
believes that there is large vein Of it.
No doubt, tests will be made in the
near future.

BRIEF SESSION /: III.
OF CITY COUNCIL ! ] \ ! ] |,
APPROPRIATION FOR ASSISTANT
WEED INSPECTOR CITIZENS
SEEK PROTECTION

Elimination of noxious weeds and
preventing erection Of noxious build
ings were the most important matters
brought up before the council at its
regular meeting Monday evening.
Several residents Of the West side
appeared and asked if something could
be done to prevent erection of mach
inc shed or shop on lot between resi-
dences. They stated that stranger has
purchased lot in Block 81, Broadway
west, and as near as can be learned, ne
intends putting machine shop there,
which would be nuisance. The, al
dermen agreed that the property own
ers are entitled to protection, but that
as matters now stand, it could mot be
prevented. They were promised protec-
ton, however, and Aldermen Geo. Pet
erson, Brown and Moeglein were ap-
pointed as a committee to interview
the person referred to in an effort tC
learn what his plans are. .,.-
Aedelegation Of residents from High
land avenue were present and asked
that the roadway on that street be fill
ed up level with the ground alongside
and that mudhiles on Sixth avenue
southeast from First street to Highland
avenue, be filled in. They also asked
for street light. The street COM
mittee was instructed to take care of
the road work and to report on the
light matter at the next meeting.
Sam Hammerbeck, county weed in
spector, appeared and asked the city g
cooperation in the elimination of nox-
ious weeds. He suggested that man
be employed to make a survey of the
weed situation in the city, in conjunc-
ton with the county weed inspectors.
An appropriation of 500 was made for
the purpose of engaging man for
this work.
The matter Of ordering in several
pieces of sidewalk on Third street
Southwest between First and Second
avenues was discussed but no action
was taken as it was believed that such
action had been taken some time ago.
The clerk was instructed to look up
this matter.
Council adjourned to August 4.

WORK OF THE cHAiNGANG.
Speaking yesterday Of the chal

Speaking yesterday Of the chalns
gang, Supervisor Brown said:
1--WE are still down east Of Rock Hill
on the road from Leslie, and we are
getting along slowly. We just can't
make rapid progress because of the
difficulty Of getting material for TOP
soiling.
Material for top soiing is not SO
plentiful down that way. For instance,
after Il long stretch of blackjack we
run upon q long stretch Of sand. and
frequently we have to haul top soil for
n distance of from Il mile to Il mile and
a half, and that is slow work"
The hauling is being done with
teams, and on being asked if he could
not make better progress by using
trucks, Supervisor Brown said:
1.-The trick is all right where condi-
tions are favorable; but conditions are
not always favorable. Just now we
are getting top soil at a place where
we could not much more than get out
of there with an empty truck, to say
nothing of IL load. In fact we have 10
use q snatch team to get to level
ground with wagons, and we would
never get anywhere with Il truck. it
is pretty hard to make much headway
with road work without mules.
ut will take about three months to
finish up the job the chaingang is now
on" said Supervisor Brown.
