j. X. Brickle, who recently
rturned from San Francisco,
stopped on his way home at 1nco-
ma, and i'm an interview with Paul
Schulze, the Northern Pacific mag
nate, stated that as soon as work
could he commenced in The spring
his company would commence
constructing branch line from
Kootenai station, Idaho, to Bonner's
Ferry, thus tapping the great water
way both ways from that point.
This line will furnish long
hoped for outlet for the Kootenai
mines and will assist Spokane Falls
immensely in maintain ing her conf
merclal supremacy in that remarka-
bly, rich country. Very nearly all
the supplies for the Kootcnai mines,
even with the present u Unsatisfactory
shipping facilities, are bought ut
Spokane Falls, but with rail COM
municaiion all the way the key to
the situation can easily be guessed
at.

Arrivals in town from Northern
Idaho state that large party of
Manitoba surveyors are ut work Oh

by way of Flathead lake down the
Kootenai river TO Bonner's Ferry,
and from that point to Spokane
Falls.
The main line by way of Missoula,
IL IL thought, has practically been
abandoned. II has been the general
opinion for the past few years that
the Flathead lake route would be
adopted by Jim Hill, as 1t furnishes
the most direct course between
Great Falls and Spokane Falls. AT

tions will be made with
steamers plying the whole

utility to all who wish to have a thor

One object of a recent examination
was to determine by actual observation
and accurate measurement whether the
water which gushes from the face of tho
lava blutf on Snake river, Just below
fayne's ferry, on tho overland stage
road, could bo made available for the
purpose of aiding in the irrigation of the
fertile lands around the town of Noun

~ much to be regretted that the measure
ments show these springs to be 200 feet
TOO low tor the purposes desired. The
volume of water issuing from the taco

cubic feet per second, issuing from points
LOO feet above the level of the river. The
mountains lying TO the north and north

drainage from points where Lost river
and other streams issuing from the
mountains lose their waters in the
crevices of the lava crust.
MIR. Foote thinks that il the lava crust
were removed, these streams would bo
found flowing through their original
channels across the plain to the points
where they arc now found gushing in
great streams under the face of the bluH.
When asked whether these springs could
not be utilized for washing the auriferous
sand and gravel deposits on the Snake
river bars below the springs, Mr.. Foote
said that the expense OF huming along
the face of the rocky bluff to the points
where the waters could be used for these
purposes would be too great. So, tho
springs must remain, for the present at
least, untitled. They will remain how
ever, as one of the great scenic features
ofthe wonderful river" little inferior

DefineabIe.
CHICAGO, June 29-The question Of
the annexation to Chicago of the closely
adjoining suburbs of Hyde Park, Lake
Lake View, Cicero and Jefferson was
voted on today. The campaign, which
has been conducted for several weeks
past, was spirited. Both eides have
been making tremendous struggles. The
Ants were generally headed by the
present ofiice.holders in the suburban
governments, who made a bitter fight
against coming into the city. While the
official vote from all points has not yet
been announced, there was no room for
doubt, from the figures received, that all
the suburbs named had been carried
by the annexationists. The various
towns bring into Chicago an additional
population of nearly 100000, bringing
the total up to probably 100000. The
territory annexed will give Chicago a
total area approximately estimatedl of
about ia square miles, making it the
largest city in area in the United States.
All of the annexed towns are built up
thickly, radiating from the old city
limits. A person unacquainted with
the boundary streets could not tell
where these towns began, the dividing

New ORLEANS, June 29.-Preparations
for the Sullivan Kilrain prize fight are
progressing smoothly. Bud Remand, who
has charge of the excursion, is constantly
receiving applications for tickets and
special cars. The first train
will leave the city about A a. m.
on Monday, July Sth. The ring will be
pitched before daylight, and will be in
readiness for use when the excursionists
arrive. 1t is confidently expected that
the fight will commerce at a. NJ, and
the excursionists will return to the city
by noon. The managers think there
will be five thousand people at
the ring side. Captain Tom Jameson,
of Meridian, Miss, with twenty specials,
will probably have charge OF the police
regulations. Captain Jameson is known
as an efficient and resoute officer, who
can always have posse OF good men at
his command, and should he undertake
the job, the best of order will be assured.

T. w. Barnett, who lett Sullivan We'd
nesday evening at his training quarters in
Nav York State, arrived here this MORN
ing to receive notice as to the
selection of the battle ground. Be-
ing interviewed, Barnett said "Sullivan
never looked better. l knew him when
he fought Ryan, and / tell you frankly
he is in better shape at present that ever
in his life. AS far as can see, there is
not bit of superfluous flesh
on him, and the story that he is
flabby looking about the muscles is
all bosh. His wind is excellent, and his
legs are as solid and as strong, almost,
as bars of steel. Just before | left he
skipped the rope 800 times without a
break, and a man must have pretty good
legs and mighty good wind to do that"
Barnett has plenty of interesting
things to tell about the New Orleans
favorite. He says that Sullivan is taking
as naturally to training as duck does to
water.
ON GOOD BEHAVIOR.
His docility 10 something remarkable,
He does everything Muldoon tells him
and he realizes perfectly that he
must show the country again just
what he is made of. The big fellow
him elf has as little fear about the result
as he would have if Andy Bowen was tt
be his opponent. Barnet gives Muldoor
great credit for what has been accom-
plished in the training of Sullivan sno
giving him lessons in wrestling. He
says that when Sullivan gets into
the ring he will know {
point or two about wrestling tina
have never occurred to Kilrain. Barnet
does not know who will be behind Sulli
van in the big fight. Ceary can b,
counted on, but the other man is I'm
known. 1t may be that it will be Ash
ton, though Sullivan himself did no
know last week who was likely t.
assist Cleary. Muldoon is spoken of an'
could fill the bill, but Muldoon woult

BLAoKFooT, Mont, June 29.-Grave
fears are entertained of general uprising
and wholesale butchery in the Orc Fine
mining district, on account Of claim
jumping by two brothers named Moore
who also have twenty-five cowboys in
their employ. The Moores, in sinking
an artesian we'll, discovered what is sup
posed to be the richest vein of gold and
silver bearing quartz in the Territory
and jumped the whole TOWNSHIP Of
Champion, near Deer Lodge, under the
mineral laws. Dozens of claims have
been staked out on the lead by the
jumpers, and messenger has been sent
to Helena to enable them to retain pos
session of the property. An old miner
who saw the quartz uncovered says it is
richer than that at Granite. 1t is esti-
mated to be worth 100000. The

CINCINNATI, June ga. A. Stern, the
President of the Cincinnati Baseball
Club, was fined $40 and costs, today, for
permitting a game of baseball to be
played last Sunday. 1t was urged that
there was no disorder, but the Judge
held that it was done for money. and
therefore was a violation of the law.
Judge Ermston has decided the case
against John Lederer, of the Atlantic
Garden, who was charged with keeping
his ealoon open ON Sunday, and who
made the defense that he conducted a
restaurant business also, and that on
Sunday he closed the bar and kept open
the restaurant part only. The Judge
held that it was necessary to close the
whole establishment in order to comply
with the law.
