Re ferred to the Committee on Surveys. A communication from the same officer submitted the new wharf line around Windmill Island. Referred to Committee on Surveys. Also, a; communication from F. C.

The Committee on Finance, reported an ordinance to appropriate $115,590 to the Department of Street Cleaning for 1868. Postponed. Mr. Miller presented to the Chamber a report from the Committee on Surveys, vrith a - long ordinance, intended to promote public cleanliness. It is the same ordi nance reported (but never acted on) last year. when the survey committee was um per the direction of Mr. Everman of West Philadelphia. The ordinance provides that all privy wells shalt be connected with the city sewers, an assistant surveyor being appointed, at a salary of $l,OOO a year, to . see that proper connections are made; that -underground drains shall be extended from each house, to be erected to the street' sewer, to carry away all the surface drain age, and also requiring all passenger rail way companies to make drainage oonnee :lions from their horse paths to the street sewers at regular distances. The bill was ordered to be printed. An appropriation of $5OO to the captors of -the murderer of Miss Watts, at German town, was agreed to. The Chamber tabled an ordinance to re peal the ordinance establishing the street - cleaning department. An ordinance to vote to the City COmmis sioner $15,000 to have the old court-house, at Sixth and Chestnut, repaired and put in order, was also laid on the table. • The Survey Committee presented another :document, a long one, reflecting severely upon the conduct of the contractors of the Chestnut street 3 bridge. The committee ;states that the arches of the bridge-ate now :standing independent of the frame work, but there is a very small force of machinists at work. The interests of the city have been entirely disregarded by the contractors for the iron work. This work was to have been completed within twelve months from the date of an order from the Chief Engi neer directing the work to be commenoed. ,The order was issued on the 29th of May, 1862, and the work is now, unfinished. From force of circumstances the masonry was not ready for the iron contractors to begin the work of erecting until April,- 1864, or nearly two years after the time allotted in the contract for the entire completion of the iron work; notwithstanding which, in June, 1864, when the contractors were notified that the masonry was ready for the iron, not a tool for fitting had been placed upon the rough castings, except the skew back plates, and although they were urged and pleaded with during the many months prior to June, 1864, the anxieties being always allayed by Assurances that the necessary machinerywas _in course of construction and would soon be completed, yet it was not until the latter part of July, 1864, that the planing opera tions commenced. The false, work was not begun until May, .1865, and the'first segment of the arches was not in place until the following October, the last one having been set in place on January 17, 1866, two years and eight months after the date for completion of the entire work, as named in the contract, with six months' work yet to do. The commit tee deem the delay the result only of a want of interest in our work, even to its entire neglect for a considerable time. No excuse can be offered for the want of ob taining iron, or from its increased value, as '47n May•Bo, 1862, the firm, in a letter to the 'chief engineer, stated that 1,200 tons of pig iron had been delivered at their yard for the especial - work of the city. The document closed with the statement that, as the bridge tlnfiniehed and free ,from suits and from the dangers of freshets, that Councils :should take such action as will show the public that no proper effort will. be spared to secure the early completlon of the bridge, , And that unless the contractor's work be pushed forward with the utmost diligence, the elapse in the contract binding the, con tractors to pay into the City Treasury $2O every day of delay after the 'expiration of the time specified-by their_ contract shall be enforced. ; • - - - The report was'tabled for the present. Mr. Evans presented a ' resolution of in struction to the City Solicitor, asking him' whether Councils have the right to require the Trustees of the Gas Works to make monthly returns of their expenses and re ceipts._ Agreed to. `Mr. Marcer presented - a communication from George F. Gordon, Chief Inspector of streets elect, submitting Wm. B. Thomas and Robert P. King as his securities. Re ferred to Finance Committee. Mr. Harper offered a resolution calling upon the Committee on Law to ascertain by what authority the Board of Trustees of the Gas Works appropriated $3OO to two members of their board for making a report. Agreed to: Mr.Stockham offered a resolution request ing the City Solicitor to prepare an answer to the charge preferred by John Given, who has served a mandamus upon every mem ber of Common Council to appear before the Supreme Court, te-morrow at 10 o'clock, to answer why they refused to accept his sureties. The resolution passed. Select Council met Common Council in joist convention and balloted for the heads of departments. . The Select Council amendments to the:fire- , men's appropriation bill were non-coacur red in. Mr. Nichols called up the bill taxing city railroad companies, and moved that the bill be, made the order of the day at four o'ciock on next Thursday. ' The bill making the annual appropriation to the Department of City Property was taken up and passed. Adjourned. From our Third Edition of Yesterday. From Washing-con.

On this property 15 shafts or pits have been opened and sunk to various depths from 10 to 65 feet, demon striding the existence of three parallel veins of ore of about 2 feel In width and about 15 feet apart; converging to a common centre at the depth of about 150 feet, for ming one immense ma: - .3 or vein of ore extending in length through the property more than half a mile. There are alto on this property other veins of ore un- . . •zplored. 111 these ores are known as the brown ores, and are very rich, yielding an average of about p per ton In gold_ The above results having been demonstrated by the rude working of the mines for .everal years past, the risk of investment In nude. ve loped property Ls not incurred, and by the application or modern mining and reducing machinery the Com pany ant-Intl-ate an Immediate and largo retam for Wall money. • Having as or. that readily yields pro per ton, some estimate can be made of the value of this property, with the present imperfect system of mining, Ten tons of this ore can be taken out and reduced daily from every shaft opened at an expense not exceeding e per toe leaving a net daily canna of 'l,:so tas each theft worked by the Company. The large working capital reserved will enable the Company at once to procure and erect the best modern machinery fur:manipulating the ores, by meg= of which the yield will be largo7y Increased These mines, wails' they produce ores natter than those of Colorado or Nevada, have many advantages ever them, particularly in an abtuadence of feel and cheap labor, and the !facility with, which they can be worked during the entire year , whilst those of Colo rado and Nevada can only be woaked dosing the warm weather.
