pot yesterday afternoon In response to a
telegram from the girl's mother. She an
ticipated meeting lier prospective husband,
Bernard Taylor, to wh>>m she expected to
be married, but instead of appearing be
fore a minister with him she was called
upon to face Captain Boardman at police
headquarters and explain why she had left
her mother's home. Annie Is a colored girl
of seventeen years Sho did not hesitate
to explain the object of her visit. Ber
nard was to have met her at the depot,
but he did not reach there until the detec
tives had taken charge of his sweetheart.
The embracing and kissing act was per
formed by the couple in presence of the
officers and Bernard Insisted upon his right
to carry out the program. He was a sad
hearted young man when the detectives in
formed him that Annie would spend the
night at the house of detention. She gave
Bernard a farewotl kiss when the herdlc
called for her.
A message from the girl's mother, Mrs.
Angle Moss, who resides In Richmond re
Quested her arrest, and later the mother
asked that the girl be sent home. Taylor
declares he will go on the train with her
and will claim his sweetheart when she
reaches her mother's home.

Captains Heffner and Cross were present
at the opening. In a brief address to the
men he said the ceremonies incident to the
optning of the station had been delayed in
order to give the contractor time to finish
the outside work.
"I desire to congratulate the men who
have been assigned to this precinct," said
the major, "on your excellent quarters,
and regret very much that your colleagues
in other sections of the city are not so well
provided for, but I hope in the near future
there will be something accomplished for
the others which will make them more
comfortable."
Lieutenant Kenny called the roll and as
signed the men to their respective beats,
and Informed them when they will go on
duty. Sergeant Bremerman took out the
first section of footmen, while mounted
Sergeant Slattery had charge of the mount
ed men, who went on duty at the conclu
sion of roll call. The dropping of the col
ors concluded the brief exercises. Under
the new order the posts at Brookland, Ta
koma, Brightwood and the loop will be re
tained.
Territory Covered.
The new station is on Whitn-ey avenue
between 7th and 8th streets, in one of the
more thickly populated sections of the pre
cinct, but virtually all the territory be
tween the District line aad Florida avenue
and the Brentwood road and Rock creek is
embraced within Its boundaries. Beginning
at the intersection of Rock creek, Q street
and Florida avenue, the boundary of the
precinct extends along the eastern line of
Rock creek to the Maryland line; thence
alcng the Maryland line In an easterly di
rection to Queen's Chapel road; thence
along the middle of said road in a south
easterly direction to Brentwood road;
thence along the middle of Brentwood road
to the middle of T street east; thence along
the middle of T street in a westerly direc
tion to the middle of 1st street; thence
along the middle of 1st street north to the
middle of College street in a westerly di
rection to 7th street and Grant avenue;
thence along the middle of Grant avenue In
a westerly direction to Florida avenue;
thence along the middle of Florida avenue
in a southwesterly direction to Massachu
setts avenue north to the point of begin
ning. ?
New Station Conveniences.
The new station Is a decided Improve
ment on the older buildings of the depart
ment. It contains many additional con
veniences. It embodies the Ideas furnished
the architect by Major Sylvester, and the
officers who will do duty there will enjoy
comforts not provided in the other sta
tions. A sliding pole from the dormitory
to the ground floor, to be used in cases of
emergency, will greatly facilitate the move
ments of the policemen, while a shower
bath has been arranged on the second floor
for their use. In the near future a bowl
ing alley will be constructed and a billiard
room equipped.
The building is by far the most modern
police station In this District. The roadway
about the structure has not been com
pleted, but the patrol wagon was put into
service today when the men went on duty.
Lieutenant Jordan's Address.
Lieut. W. W. Jordan, who took charge
of the eighth precinct, is by no means a
stranger to the members of his command,
he having served in the capacity of pri
vate, sergeant and night inspector with
them. Although he received his promotion
some weeks ago, he has not been perma
Lteut. W. W. Jordan.
nently In command of a precinct until
today. He has an excellent army record
and his efficiency rating in the department
la second to none. By his fair manner in
dealing with the men he has won their
esteem and confidence, and the depart
ment officials are satisfied he will have the
unqualified support of his command. In
taking charge of the precinct he addressed
those who were in the station, including
many members who had not been required
to report. He said:
"The Commissioners and superintendent
of this department have assigned the com
mand of this precinct to me, and In as
suming the same I desire to say that I
propose to discharge the duties of the po
sition in the same manner I have those of
the other places I have held in this de
partment?that is, on business lines. I-do
not expect impossibilities; I simply ask
that you give me your earnest co-opera
tion in conducting the affairs of the Pfe*
cinct in such a manner as to meet with
the approval of our superior officers and
the citizens we are employed to protect
in their property and personal rights.
"To succeed, we must be harmonious in
our relations, as that is one of the most
essential things in an organization of this
kind. Bickering, backbiting and tale-bear
ing will not be permitted. All I ask is
that you meet me half way, and, I assure
you, I will do the rest.
"The Commissioners of the District ot
Columbia and the superintendent of this
department have secured from Congress a
substantial increase of the force, and-the
residents of this District naturally expect
more efficient police service, and we must
do our best to protcct the department from
the crticisms which will undoubtedly fol
low a failure on our part to afford the
protection they have a right to expect."

District'* Right to Maintain Sewer.
Andrew B. Duvall, the attorney for the
District, today forwarded to the Commis
sioners his opinion upon the communication
of the Merchants' Transfer and Storage
Company stating that in excavating for the
foundation of its buildings on E street be
tween 9th and 10th streets a sewer has
been uncovered running through the prop
erty. The matter was referred to the at
torney for his opinion as to the right of
the District to maintain this sewer. With
reference to that question the attorney
says:
"It appears from the report of the super
intendent of sewers that this sewer was
constructed in 1872 and was built along the
line of a natural water course, and drains
a considerable area north of square 378, as
well as a larger portion of said square.
"I am of the opinion that the District
has the right to maintain this sewer, and
the grant of an easement therefor would
be presumed after the lapse of such a pe
riod of time accompanied with uninterrupt
ed use as in this case."
Woman 111 and In Distress.

Edenton of Gate wood, Va., was found at

Evening: Star Bureau,
701 King street.
Bell Telephone No. 100,
ALEXANDRIA, Va.. August 20, 1901.
Mayor Simpson heard a complaint today
against Benedict Walsh, who has been con
[ ducting a saloon at No. 1321 King street for
Borne time past. Officers Arthur Davis and
Travers arrested Walsh last night on com
| plaint of his wife, who charged him with
having sold out the stock and fixtures of
: ths saloon and refusing to divide the pro
ceeds of the sale with her. She further
told the officers that she had taken her
husband's watch and ring and he had
threatened to shoot her when she refused
to give them up. Walsh deposited $114 at
police headquarters for his appearance in
oourt, but when his name was called he
was not present. He was represented by
Attorney S. Q. Brent. His wife claimed
that he had failed to provide for her for
the past week, and had sold out his busi
ness, agreeing to give her one-half of what
he received. He had failed to do so and
she had requested his arrest. Mayor Simp
son decided that his court had no aujiority
in the premises, and the charge of threat
ening with a revolver not having been sus
tained he dismissed the case and ordered
that Walsh's money be returned to him
after deducting $55 due the corporation for

GARBAGE COLLECTION.
Commissioners Assured It Will Hence
forth Be Properly Conducted.
M. M. Parker, president of the Washing
ton Fertilizer Company, has reported to
the Commissioners regarding the recent
delay In the garbage collection, which has
caused many vigorous protests to be filed
at the District building by residents of the
city. Mr. Parker states that the delay was
caused wholly by the smashing of one of
the company's cars while en route from
the city to the crematory over the Penn
sylvania railroad. As soon as the acci
dent occurred the company ordered a new
car from the Detroit sanitary works, and
pending its arrival efforts were made to
provide river transportation. A scow was
secured, but Mr. Parker stated In his
communication to the Commissioners of
yesterday that the work of transporting the
garbage was going rapidly forward, and
he thought It would be unnecessary to use
the scow.
Over sixty tons of garbage were collected
Sunday, and he predicted that by last
night the company would have entirely
caught up with its work. The great in
crease In the amount of garbage caused
by melon rinds and green corn husks and
cobs also contributed to the delay.
Judge O'Donnell today In the Police Court
sent Charles Burke, colored, to jail for
thirty days for striking Nellie Tlbbs. also

Tbe Copete Mining Company owns all the stock of the Melcser Mining Company. comprising th?
fainout) Copete group of mines nt El Copete, Carbo, Sonora. Mexico. Tbe group consists of El
Copete, San Miguel, Jalisco, Santiago, Copperoslty and Good Hope, and the recently purchased Copetlto
?ud Last Chance, In all one hundsed eighty pertenenclas, or about four hundred fifty acres.
A smelter has been erected and is now running successfully and profitably, smelting one hundred
forty tons of ore a day.
The mines have an apparently inexhaustible ore supply. If the ore bodies have rny limit it
will be for some other generation thaw ours to find It.
Tb furnish funds to build a railroad. Increase the smelting capacity and make other Improvements,
alxty thousand shares of stock hare been contributed to the Treasury and are offered for sale on
Treasury account.
The following statements?referring to the Oo|>ete mines?from Professor George A. Treadwell,
the celebrated metallurgist; Professor Robert T. 11111 of the United States Geological Survey; Mr.
William Melczer and Mr. James J. Hardwick, speak for themselves.
. September 20. 1800.
The Copete mines are distinguished for two things:
1. The high-grade copper ores, running from 8 per cent up, averaging more than 10 per cent.
2. The lante amount of gold contained In the ores, running from one-half ounce to four ounces t*
the ton and averaging something more than an ounce.
In these two respects there is do other property in tbe world that compares with this.
GEORGE A. TREADWEIA.
October 16. 1900.
I have seen many mines in my life, bnt never one which showed such rich and satisfactory de
posits of ore. ROBERT T. HILL.
July 30. 1901.
By the addition of another smelter, the Installation of roasting furnaces to roast our gold-copper>
bearing sulphides, and the completion of the railroad, our dally capacity should be at least
400 tons, yielding a gross product a day of $11,700
From this will have to he deducted In round figures:
Mining $.V?)
developing and Timbering 200
Smelting 800
General Expenses 350
Making a total of $1,850
1.850
As net profits this would leave $9,850
From this I would suggest to deduct 10 per cent for reserve and 21* per cent for contingent
fund, which will amount to $1,231, leaving net available for dlvl lends, $8.(121. Assuming that w?
will average twenty-eight days per month running time, this will average for dividend purines
$241,388 i>er month.
With the increase of smelting caj?acity the net Increase available for dividends will more than
correspondingly increase, from the fact that the total expense account will be materially diminished
per ton of ore smelted, and when 1,000-ton daily capacity is attained and converters installed tbe
monthly amount for dividend purposes will exceed $750,000. This would mean nine million dollars
per annum for dividends. It would be prudent to make the reserve 15 per cent the first year at
least.
I see my way clear to begin paying dividends within ninety days from the completion of railroad
and the nesting furnaces and the additional stack of at least twenty cents per share monthly, which
I hope to sec increased five-fold in lest, than thirty-six months from the date dividend No. 1 is paid.
WILLIAM MELCZER.
I think Mr. Melcxer's estimates are very conservative,
dividends than he claims for it.

I feel eonfllent that with better redaction works and machinery on the mine, together with better
freighting facilities, Copete will not be behind any other camp In the Southwest in the production
of copper and gold. JAMES J. HARDWICK.
