Special REFLECTOR Correspondence.
ENTERPRISE, Sept. 19.-On account
of extra work we have been unable for
several days to report the news but
hope hereafter tie keep the REFLECTOR
readers informed of the Enterprise
events.
Fanson returned from Oregon,
Thursday, where he went last winter
with horses.
R. J. Finley, of Abilene, was col
Iege visitor Tuesday and w. II. Brow,
Friday.
Prof. Sigler reports large number
making arrangements to attend college
next term.
The Wizard Oil concert troupe en-
tertained a large street audience Fri
day evening.
The Chapman and Enterprise ball
clubs cross bats at the latter's grounds
tomorrow.
! The late rise in the river caused a
great deal of damage at the dam.
Thursday afternoon work was sus-
pended on account of the rain. No
one thought the dam was in danger but
on arriving at their work this morning
the men found the water had risen
during the night, breaking through the
old dam, washing out over forty feet
at the end nearest the mill and was
exerting its power upon the new struc-
ture, which is being built just below
the old one. The water raised the
new dam, which is composed largely of
oak timber, from its foundation and
moved the crib at the end nearly a
foot. The dam is washed out to solid
rock. A large force of men have been
at work all day building a temporary
structure across the break. Besides
the delay in the work there is great
loss incurred as nearly one-half the
new dam will have to be torn up and
replaced. The break was caused by
removing timbers and stone from the
old dam to use in constructing the
new, this weakening it so that it gave
away under the increased pressure of
water

BELLE SPRINGS, Sept. 22.-P. G.
Hoffman was compelled to take his bed
today with symptoms quite similar to
those of la grippe. That the attack
may prove far less serious is the hope
of his many friends.
Wheat is nearly all slwn, most of the
threshing is done ard hay is being
made. Farmers are nearly ready for

WATERWoRKs WILL WIN.
The People of Abilene Are in Favor
of Pure Water.

The United States court will on Fri
day act on the petition of the bond
holders of the waterworks bonds giving
them a right to make Improvements in
the waterworks plant of this city. The
work will then begin p once if the city
gives them assurance that it will ap-
preciate the improvement.
We have taken some pains to inter-
view the business men and others of
the city and we believe that the pre-
Yailing sentiment is that the council
should stop the expensive litigation
upon which it has entered and allow
the bondholders to expend the 10000
proposed in giving the city pure Sand
Springs water. 1t is eminently essen
tial that the city have good water
supply. Our lawns, houses and pub
lie uses have need of it. The
city is practically without fire prOtec-
ton and if we go into litigation will
continue to be for six or seven years
until the matter is settled. Another
reason why the council should be slow
to begin such litigation without prac.
ticaIly unanimous public sentiment be-
hind them is that it is exceedingly I'M
likely that the present council members
will continue in Office for six or seven
years, or until the suit is finished. If
a new council sees the matter differ
emily after four or five years and does
not appropriate money to carry on the
expensive suit the city will be out a
large amount of money and nothing
gained.
But we do not believe this will be
done. The next meeting of the coun-
Gil will probably result in definite
action and it will probably be in the
direction of progress.

important Purchase.

G. c. Sterl purchased today the Mrs.
Gels property On north Broadway; con-
sideration So, 800. Mr.. Sterl is one of
Abilene's progressive citizens and has
faith enough in the city to make large
real estate investments. The property
will be improved and the present store
will eventually give way to hand
some brick building. Abilene's real
estate is o. k. and will be sought for in
the market by all.

Serious Runaway.

While c. Cameron, living west of
Solomon, was driving home last even
ing he suffered a serious accident. He
was riding in cart and leading two
horses. The west bound Union Paci-
fc passenger train overtaking him
frightened the horses and be was
thrown backward, his foot catching in
the cart. He was dragged one mile
until the horse ran into the fence.
Mr.. Cameron was almost insensible
and was badly injured, possibly ia

FIzzLED OUT.
The Times ingalls, Lie Proves Thin
ner Than Ever.

ner Than Ever.
About the thinnest basis for a sensa-
ton extant was the testimony on
which the Times based its Ingalls,
articles. 1t sent W. A. Edwards of its
staff here Friday and he secured regu-
lation notice of interest due from Mr..
Hilton and on this another sensational
article was run yesterday. The testi-
mony Cd which the whole matter rests
is shown by the court record to be as
follows:
Q. son the 31st of May is a credit
of $500 for Ingalls?"
A. 1T is for paper sold him."
Q. "What Ingalls?"
A. "John J Ingalls,"
Q. "On the 18th of June is another
credit of $500 by ingalls,. What is
that for?''
A. "PaperI sold him."
q. "1Lere is a credit Oh July 81 OF
81, 900 by ingalls,. What is that for?"
81. think it may be some bank
stock sold him; am not sure. 1t is
either bank stock or notes discounted
to him"
Q. Did you sell him bank stock?"
A. 81 think 500
@. GLOW much?"
a. Il can't say; if it was bank
stock it was $4,000"
Q. did you sell him more than
81, 900 worth of notes?"
A. 81 can't recollect that did"
Q. "Do you remember the transac-
ton of selling him the bank stock?"
A. Eyes, sir, thing do"
q. "What bank stock was it?"
A. First National bank of Hays
City"
Q. Another credit on September
"a, ingalls, $780, do you know what 1t
is?''
A. mo, don't. 1 think the other
was bank stock though"
@. "Here is another one on Octo-
Der Is, Johns notes of Sl,Ooo.1O.
What is that?"
A. "That is money 1 had loaned to
L. B. Johns, and afterward l turned
the note to the bank or discounted to
Senator Ingalls,"
Q. "On June "a there is a credit by
ingalls, of S2,122,S0. Do you know
what it is for?"
A. II don't know. 1t, must have
been some paper or bank stock. L
know all these ingalls, items went INTO
bank stock or paper"
The transactions as shown by the
books are that Mr.. ingalls, purchased
in December 1888 two notes of 500
and $500 given by NJ. NJ. Shipe and en-
dorsed by E. Hilton. He also rur-
chased a 81 600 note given by l.. b.
Johus but Immediately paid and the
money was put in bank stock. 80 mat
500 was all he actually had in notes
and these were sold him at S per cent,
the difference between the rate shown
in their face, 10 per cent, and the sell
ing price being commission for placing
his money. At various times he pur-
chased 5000 in bank stock in Hays
CITY and La Crosse which covers al
his investments.
Upon the above does the whole COCK
and bull story rest. 1t is one OF the
thinnest fakes that has ever been
sprung in the west and is the laughing
stock of the people here where the
facts are known. There is no illegal
or even exhorbitant interest, no Is pei
cent, no large investment, no farmers
oppressed, nothing but simple ane
ordinary business transaction.

The Petroleum Discovery.

The discovery of petroleum and asphalt
near Price station, on the Rio Grande
Western, has created considerably more
excitement in Colorado than 1t has In Utah,
where, if diamond mine were TO be un-
covered on Ensign peak, but little furry
would be noticed. In Colorado, however,
such finds as the one near Price-and
which can be duplicated in several other
places in Utah--are so rare as to cause no
end of speculation and wonder. even
though the natural wealth is located in a
neighboring territory. Speaking of this,
the Denver Republican says: 1T is posi-
BILE that the most important of all the min
eral products will be found to be petroleum.
There are indications of the presence of oil
in various parts of that region and, al
though very little has been done as yet to
determine whether petroleum exists there
in paying quantities or not, it is probable
that experiments to determine this matter
will be made before great while The
country along the Utah line has undoubt-
eddy great future. Its resources in coal
alone are sufficient to maintain very large
population, and it contains agricultural
land enough to supply all the population
with FOOD

Pioche's Prosperity.

The surface indications of the past week
or two bear out our predictions made on
several occasions, that Phoebe is destined
10 be one of the greatest and most prosper
GUS mining camps west of the Rockies Just
as soon as the large mineral deposits, which
crop out on every side of here, were hand
led in a legitimate manner by men of CAPT
tai. The two large mining companies,
operating here for some time back, give
ample evidence that this policy is their
motto, and the indications which always
follow an honest purpose are quite appar-
ent TO the most casual observer So far
the companies have encountered innumer
able difficulties incidental to the reopening
of old and abandoned mines and the opea-
ing of new ones, all of which takes time
and plenty of money; but we are pleased
to state that the dawning of brighter era
is beginning to crown their efforts with
success. The late run made by the com
pany's furnace, under many disadvantages,
such as expenses, fuel, etc, has proven so
satisfactory that two more large stacks are
contemplated in the near future, that when
completed will treat 10 tons per day Add
to this large milling and teaching plant
and reverberatory roasters, with plenty of
free ore in sight to keep them running for
an indefinite period, and an idea can be
formed as TO the future prosperity of

Lead and Silver.

In New York, while the lead market has
been rather quiet, the persistent efforts to
pull down prices was not at all successful
Consumers have been holding back rather,
but it is believed they will be forced into
the market within very few days. The
Journal thinks the probable early advance
in freight rates of the west must also have
the effect of enhancing values of the metal
delivered in New York.
AS to the Chicago market, Everett &
Post say 1.-THE market has been only
fairly steady and holders have offered lead
more freely. Sales during the week have
been light, probably not in excess of 300
TONS"
In ST. Louis, during the early part of the
week some brands of lead were lower, soft
Missolri especially so; while chemical and
corroding lead were strong. The market,
however, closed firm for all brands, both
for present and future delivery.
In Salt Lake, the metal opened the week
at S4-4219, closing at the same figure last
evening.
Silver has shown an upward tendency,
progressing from s1.O4119 tos1 .O7, the highest
point it has touched in four years.

SCARCITY OF STONE.
The Big Demand for 1t = Another Brick
Famine Threatened.

The dozen brick yards in this vicinity are
taxed to their utmost to keep pace with
the active building operations. The exca-
vations that for two months were yawning
for foundation stone, have to a certain eX
tent been satisfied, but there is another lot
of cellars being dug that will make even
greater demands on the quarries than those
already under way. The great Ontario,
Kelsey & Gillespie's block, the Walker
Bros. Main street block and number of
business blocks to go up on the State road,
besides dozens of smaller business struc-
lures Will use up vast quantities of mate
rial. While the QuarrieS may be able to
meet the demand by putting on extra hands
the capacity of the brick yards is limited
aud contractors already complain that they
are unable TO secure contracts for the de-
livery OF brick for the coming months in
quantities sufficient to meet the demands.
At present the greater complaint comes
! from the scarcity of cut stone, the stone
men being unable to secure enough cutters
to get out enough to fill their contracts on
time. One contractor said that when stone
cutters started for Salt Lake they were
gobbled up.i Denver and failed to make
their destination. He said that it was i'm
possible to secure enough help, and that
while they were paying $3.50 for eight
hours work, they could not get as many
men as they needed.
