One of these will provide inai an me large aistriouting mains be paid for by general taxation and that tno cost or tne smaller connecting mains be charged to the water fund. If this amendment should carry, the water board would need all the money the present revenues bring in, and If me water rents were cut in two at mi time the department would be up against a oencit. Chairman Rushlight of the ways and means committee of the council, takes this view of the situation and so stated at the session of the committee yes terdav afternoon. "I think the people voted for the new meter ana assessment district system under a misapprehension," said the councilman. "They thought they were voting for a second Bull Run pipe line and most of them didn't know that upon this charter amendment were tacked the others." "I see nothing ahead but intermin able lltleatlon. or this assessment ais trlct plan is carried out bv the water department," said City Attorney Kav- anaugh, "but 1 thlnic tne water Doara should be given as much leeway as possible in the matter of fixing rates." R. B. Lam son, of the water board, said that in deciding to cut down the rates the board had only taken tho charter as they found it "We can't allow for future changes in the charter," he said, "and In ar ranging our schedule of rates for 1909 we have aimed to- secure Just enough revenue to pay for the costs of opera tion and the payment of interest on bonds." v The rale schedule submitted bv the water board to the council was re ferred to Councilman Rushlight for fur ther report.

C0EUR D'ALENE MINES Big Investments Being Hade by Fort land Men. Dr. P. I Austin has Just returned from an inspection of the mines of the Potlcle Mining companv near Delta, Ida ho, and is much interested In the many new rich strikes made in that immedi ate vicinity. He has much to say of the Improved conditions of the district In general. He said: "It would sur prise the uninitiated to visit this sec tion of the Coeur d'Alenes and loam of the number of new rich strikes made this past summer. A mine that. Is pro ducing; $30,000.00 or $40,000.00 monthly is looked upon as a small affair, and unless you have from $3,000,000.00 to $5,000,000.00 blocked out In your mine, you create little Interest in the public. Regarding our properties, I am more than pleased, for we are now sacking silver-lead ore from tunnel No. 1 of a value between $80.00 and $100.00 per i ton. This is taken from a drift 120 feet from the portals of the tunnel, which is now in 260 feet. Our vein is coming in strong and our big values will be secured In the contact, which will be reached in about 76 feet from the present breast of the tunnel. Tunnel No. 5 is in gooa free mlllinar quarts containing an uverage value of about J4&.1IU per ton. we nave opened up a bedded vein for 4800 feet, and none of It averages below $35.00 per ton. It is Impossible to estimate accu rately the tonnage at this time; but wi are sare in saying mat. witn a reason able amount of development, we can easily expose, available for treatment, several hundred thousand tons of this c)Vs of ore. We are now building a la Ve boarding house, and as soon as this Is completed, so that our men can be well cared for, we will commence the construction of a mill to treat the free milling ore from No. S and ad- iolnlnc properties all owned by the 'otieie Mining company."
