1T WILL RENT ELECTRICITY
Citizens Company Gives Up the Project
of a New Power House This Year.
Bonds for This Purpose Cannot Be Floated-
New Transfer System in Operation
Buffalo Man to Succeed Boyd.

The Citizens Street-railroad Company
has for the immediate present abandoned
the project of building q new power house
on West Washington street. The reason
for this 10 not authoritatively stated, but
1t is stated that the terms of the mortgage
under which the new issue of bonds Was
made do not admit of the use of money
raised from the sale of those bonds for this
purpose. and the company finds it difficult
to float bonds for this special purpose in
the present state of the money market.
The bonds issued upon the mortgage nave
all been placed. and thus ample provision
is made tor the improvements in progress
and projected in laying new rail and pro-
viding electrical equipment
In view of the delay of tho power-hOuse
project the contract with the Indianapolis
Light and Power Company for electric
power will probably be continued IN
definitely. This contract goes into effect
Aug. 20, and is understood to be for LOO
horse power. 1t will be utilized In operst-
ing the new lines on South Meridian, North
Pennsylvania. Noble street. Clifford avenue
and Columbis avenue. all of which the
company expects to open within three or
four weeks.

into q good. old-fashioned sizzle-sozzle"
that continued until late In the evening.
With il came a cooler atmosphere and an
occasional good, etiff breeze.
This is the first respectable rain northern
and central Indiana has had for over two
months. In that time there have been two
or three small showers. scarcely enough To
Law the dust. The blazing sun of July and
August has parched the earth, burned up
the pastures, and well-nlgh ruined the
corn crop.
Railroad men as we'll as business men
were feeling better last evening as u result
of the breaking OF the drought IN this Sec
ton. and the rain seems TO have been quite
general west md south of here. Superin-
tendenu Mansfield, of the indianapolis *
NiDcennes road. SAID that most Of the after
noon yesterday 1t rained hard the entire
distance between Nincennes aud Martins
willie and was still raining last evening.

to the corn crop on that line. Albert ;.
White, general freight agent of the Big

Mattoon To Indianapolis IL was raining all
the way, and conductor Trindle. OF tho
Nandalia. says that when bis train left
Bingham IL was raining and IL rained
from there until he reached indianapolis.
George Bender. superintendent OF the Chi

On information from the police depart
ment at Nashville detectives Thornton and
McGuff yesterday arrested William Bush,
q oolored man. employed on street work by
the Wsrren-Scbsrf. Adyices from Chat

on all the street-oar lines yesterday and
many q conductor went home with g tired
brain last night after worrying one day in
trying to learn the compsny's new 81 stem
of bookkeeping. which 1t requires Of Its

of the conductor issuing it. and little spaces
to be punched showing the day of the
month. the hour and fifth hours The
names of all the lines are printed on the
ticket also. and the conductor has to punch
each ticket four times. The tickets are
only good at the point where the line on
which the ticket is given interseots the
line TO which the ticket ia q transfer. If
the lines do not reach Washing ton street.
then the transfer is good at the point where
the second line touches Washington street.

Effect of h Scarcity of Currenoy.

New York exchange Is quoted at from
$50 to $50 q $1,000 in Indianapolis. and this
fact has rendered business very dull in q
number of lines where goods or stock de-
pend on an Eastern market. The bankers
price on New York exchange that the
Eastern banks want TO tie up the currency
after they get it from the West with the
bills of exchange. Grain and stock ship
ments are very low. The high price of ex-
change has affected business ct the stock
yards. and the shipments will not m improve
until currency becomes more plentiful in
the East. The local banks have consider
able currency on hand and are In better
cities.

BAD OUTLOOK FOR CATTLE.
Cold Weather and Deep Snow in Northern
Montana.

Cold Weather and Deep Snow in Northern
Montana.
Reports from the vicinity of Chinook and
Glasgow are to the effect that cattle in that
vicinity are in very bad shape. Between
Great Falls and Fort Benton there is little
snow and it is not very cold, but east of
Benton there are two feet of snow on the
ground. and yesterday the thermometer
ranged from eighteen to twenty-five be-
low. Ever since THANKSGIVING day there
has been snow on the ground and there was
q chinook on but one day in Dscembe;.
That was just sufficient to melt the snow
enough 30 that the next day a crust formed.
Then a heavy snow came on top Of that and
the result Is the cattle cannot get anything
to eat. Big four-year steers, with
all the skin torn off their
legs from their hoofs to the
knee, so weak they can hardly stand are
seen on all sides. Men who have ridden
over the ranges say the loss in pilgrim cat
tie will reach at least go per cent. and IN
less a continuous warm spell comes very
soon the loss will be much greater.
A popularity OF the continued cold
weather il that it seems to be confined OK
clusiyely to that section of the county
along the Great Northern east OF Fort Ben
ton. Down in the Yellowstone there IL
little or no snow and the weather il pleas
ant; Id the vicinity of Helena there is soma
snow. but since the severe cold spell broke
i'll February the Thermometer has not gone
below zero. In western and northern Mon
tana also there 10 but little snow and the
cold is not severe.

RESUMED YESTERDAY.
The Anaconda Mines at Butte Have Started
Up Again.

The Anaconda Mines at Butte Have Started
Up Again.
To-day the Anaconda company will COM
mence raising ore from one of its properties
on the hill and by tho latter part of the
week it ia expected that enough will have
been dumped into the bins to warrant the
making Of a few shipments to the smelters
at Anaconda, says yesterdays Butte Miner.
When in full operation the mines will fur
nish employment to not less than $40 men.
which added to the large number al! ready
at wosk in other mines of the camp will
soon make some difference to, boarding
house keepers and a few merchants. As is
we'll known, Butte ia not a one-mine or one
company town. and while the suspension
of work at one mine or set Of mines in
Butte usually attracts a little notice.
no great calamity has ever resulted
from a suspension OF work by one company.
At the Boston & Montana mines and smelt-
ers, 800 men are employed; Mt tho Butte Il
Boston. 800; at the Colorado, 800; at the
Moulton mine and mill. Butte reduction
Colusa-Parrot mine, Black Chief and half
a dozen Others owned and operated by w.
A.. Clark, 900 men are employees; at tho
Lexington, $50; Alice mine and mill, 800; at
the fifty other smaller properties being
worked under lease and by their owners.
$500.
SO it will be seen that Notwithstanding
that hill mines were all closed during the
dull season nothing Of a calamitious nature
occurred because so many others were in
operation. When it was announced that
they would be started Up again an earth
quake did not take place: there was no gum
fred, no flags raised. In fact it we're hardly
noticed. Butte is unlike any other mining
town on the face of the globe, for with its
numerous properties it usually manages to
keep 5000 men working about its mines
company. The forces of the Anaconda
mines will be distributed as follows: At
the Anaconda and st. Lawrence, 800; Noun.
tain Consolidated, 200; High Ore, $50;
Wake-Up Jim. IS; Green Mountain. 100;
scattering. about seventy-tive. These are
all the mines the company has had in oper-
alton during the last year or two, the
Modoc and Matte having been closed down
for good.

THE NEIHART n

Everything Points to N Prosperous Season
in the Belt Mountains.
The machinery for the Gait has arrived,
says the Neihert Herald.
Tho Broadwater is showing up in good
shape, having a seven-foot lead Of high
grade ore aud az smooth and even walls as
the heart OF q thoroughbred miner could
wish.
The management OF the Benton is put
ting on men 90 fast rs there is n chance for
them to work to advantage, and next sum
mer there should be a force of at least sew
snty- five men employed at this mine. At
present there arc about thirty miners at
work.
Specimens from a recent strike on the
Bilver Horn are covered with masses of
wire and some ruby silver, and show very
plainly what the Silver Horn will be when
thoroughly developed. The mine has
closed down temporarily on account of
deep snow and scarcity of timber. but ns
soon as the weather will permit. work Will
be resumed and the tunnel run 200 feet
further. which will give them a depth of
over 600 feet, or nearly foot for foot.
1t Ia learned upon good authority that tho
bloulton company. of Nsihart, will erect a
Inill-probably forty ~stamps-next spring.
and that it will probably be built at Mon
arch. There they can get lots of room and
plenty OF water, two things most important
IN the operation of a mill.
More mon were added to the force at the
Tiger during the past week. The pay roll
OF this company is gradually increasing,
and FROM present indications it will soon
have more men Mt work than were ever be
fore at work on any one mine in this camp.
This Is encouraging; and more 30 because
the mine continues TO look better and with
more men at work the return to the com
pany will be greater. At present five men
are employed stoplng and get about two
cars per week. The upraise ia now up fifty
five feet and there is about twenty-five feet
more 20 do. AZ tho ground Id getting softer
this will soon be completed, and they will
be ready for the machinery.
