APROBABLE NEW CLUB,
Which Will Be known as the
Flour City Chess, Checker and
Whist Club.

Whist Club.
A strenuous effort is now on foot by
several of the enthusiasts of pastime
games TO organize club to be known
as the Flour City Chess, Checker and
Whist club. The club. if organized,
will be unlike any other ever organized
in the city. 1t will not be Incorporated.
but there are several things
that will be made plain before
the members join. Among these
will be, that the initiation fee and as
sesSments be paid in advance, so that
the club will not be in bankrupt con-
ditiOn as several of the other clubs have
been that have been started and
made failures. The city has a number
of remarkably fine opponents of the
mysteries of the game of draughts, but
there is one great drawback in organic
ing a club where there are several play
ers who have reputation about alike,
and that is they don't like to meet
each other across the board
for fear of defeat. There is
not a checker player in Minneapolis
who need hesitate for a moment to play
any one for this reason, for there are at
least forty players in America who can
defeat the champion of the city, if there
is any. The object of this club is to
bring together the large number of
players and have a room where Stran-
gers can be entertained in a social way.
If this club is organized on a good
financial basis, it is quite likely
that Charles F. Barker. the eminent
Boston checkerist and champion of
America, if not of the world, will come
to Minneapolis to reside and take
charge of it. All persons who feel as
though they would like to join such a
club and comply with the strict rules as
heretofore mentioned. are requested to
send their names to Checker club, care
of GLOBE, Minneapolis.

TAKING WATER.
The Water Power Company Agrees
to POstpOnement.


After threatening to shut off the city's
water supply the st. Anthony Water
Power company yesterday agreed to a
stipulation postpOning the hearing on
the order to show cause why an injunc-
ton should not be granted to the first
Saturday in April. In the meantime,
unless there is freshet, OF break in the
dam, the gate is to remain open, with
the condition that when the rights of
the parties are decided, if the quantity
of water used is found to be in excess OF
what the defendant is entitled to. fair
remuneration is to be made to the plain
tiff company.
A conference was held at City AttOr-
ney Smiths office in the morning when
he stated to the special council commit
tee that he had no doubt that the city
has right to the flow of the water, and
that the company would find out that it
would be better to give the city water
power than to maintain the action that
has been begun.

Aid. Mills Paving the Way for
Another investigations.

The meeting of the council committee

that the number of lights of the Sun
VapOr company since the awarding of
the contracts last September had been
increased $50 per cent, while those of
the Wheeler Reflector and the Globe
Gaslight had only been increased 50 per
cent. As the committee adjourned Aid
Mills fairly beloved: There's some
thing rotten here. Why this favOritsm?
l am backed by one honest man on the
committee ana | intend to probe this
matter TO the bottom. You may beat
me in the committee, but ! will go be-
fore the council" Aid. Johnson sug-
gested that Aid. Mills should be ap-
pointed committee of one to make an
investigation, which raised a laugh.
Aid. Mills also referred significantly
10 the fact that Inspector Runge had
failed to indicate on the chart many of
the sun VapOr lights, and insinuated
that he meant to find out what had been
going on.

THE JERSEY LILY'S LUCK.
In Boring an Artesian Welt on
Her Nevada Land a Silver Mine
is Discovered

Her Nevada Land a Silver Mine
is Discovered.
CARSON. New, Feb. 13.-SomeI two
months ago the contractors in boring an
artesian well for Mrs. Langtry,i the
actress, near the foot of the mountain
where the North Carson mine is situa-
ted, came on formation of rock which
lay between the clay walls. The for
nation was SO hard that the drill
bounded up. and it required seven feet
of drilling to penetrate and reach under
the clay wall. When the debris of the
rock came out it attracted the attention
of the bOrers. A few ounces of the
rock were taken to the Bullion and Ex-
change bank where it was assayed.1The
assay was $50 a ton of rich sive ore.
Since then experts have been making
examinations, seeking to trace the
ledge to its groupings and determine
the character of the inclOsing walls.
Discoveries last week seem to show that
the ledge runs all the way from feet
to 100 feet thick. The excitement over
the discovery is now great, and its is
probable much of the ledge runs
through Mrs. Langtry's land. She
bored for water and struck silver.
