A zinc smelter of fifty tons capa

two years ago by the Guggenheim.
It is on the old-fashioned Belgium

prove to Ik: obsolete in the early
future. It is now being equipped
with automatic appliances to mini
mize the amount of hand labor cur
ployed. The Denver agent of H. O. Jacob

centrates to points outside the
United States. The Vieillc-Mon-taiguc
Coinpauy, of Antwerp, has
shipped large quantities of Colora

Previous to these foreign shipments,
considerable shipments, as above

mining and metallurgical subjects,
to be placed 111 come easily acces

Cal To tint end he has plactd in
the handsel Mr. Chas. G. Yale of
of San Francisco the sum of $5000,
and has appointed as trustees, to
carry out his wishes in this regard,
Mr. ('has G. Yale, Mr. Louis Junin,
IJ. M., and ix-offico) the state
Mineralogist of California, and has
selected the State Mining Bureau
in San Francisco as a suitable re-
pository for this valuable lolleclion

the donor that no cirumstances

The water committee submitted
the following report:
To the Honorable Mayor and
City Council of Cottage Grove,
Oregon.
GKNTI.EMKN:
We, your special water-committee
beg leave to report as follows:
We have for some time been in
vestigating our present water sup
ply aud the future needs of the city
and find:
That our present pipe system
will soon be inadequate to supply
the needs of the city for domestic
purposes.
That it does not furnish suffici
ent fire protection.
That it does not utilize more
than one-half the low water flow of
the creeks whence our water supply
is derived.
We therefore reccomend that a
reservoir be consjtrcted to hold i
million gallons.
That all the ordinary flow of
both creeks be piped iuto it.
That a 10-iuch pipe line be laid
from said reservoir to 1st street near
the depot.
That our old main be taken up
and used in the distributing system.
That means be taken to protect
our water tupply from -pollution.
That an election be held' upon
the proposition to issue bonds for'
the purpose of makinjr the above
improvements according to plans
now under consideration.
Finoai. S. Hinds,
Chairmau of Special Committee.
A general discussion concerning
the necessity of the improvement
of the water system vJas held, and
