GOULD AS A MATCHMAKER.
He viii Oppose the Monopoly Know
as the Diamond Match Trust.


New York, Sept. 2O.-Not satisfied
with owning a large share Of the rail-
roads of the country and holding a
virtual monopoly of the telegraph
lines, the Goulds are preparing to enter
the fields of manufactures and COM
pete with one of the biggest CONNER
cial monopolies in this Countrywide
Diamond Match trust. Edwin A.

New matchmaking machines will
be used, each slightly larger than
sewing machine, having a longer table,
and all that seems necessary to make
matches is to feed roll of veneered
wood in one end of the machine and
match splits, all cut, fly out of the
other at the rate of 100000 a. minute.
Mr.. Hutchinson, the inventor. who is
a direct descendant of Robert Fulton,
the inventor of the steamboat, said
briefly about his invention: "These
match-machines are patented in every
country on the globe and are fully pro-
tected. How much they are in adj
vance of other matchmaking ma
chimes. I can show you by telling you
that the highest speed attained by any
machine is 5000 matches a minute"

presence of a large number of inter-
ested spectators.
The building which is in course of

and commodious structure dedicated to
the cause Of higher education. The
necessary funds for the completion of
the building have been pledged, so that
there will be no delay in the work.
The proceedings yesterday were
opened by the choir of the First Presby-
terrain church rendering suitable music,
after which the Rev. r. G.. McNiece
made a few Introductory remarks, in
PRODUCING Ex-Governor
A. l.. THOMAS,
who gave an address on the subject of
education. Mr. Thomas referred to
the liberal policy this government had
pursued in the matter of educa ton, to
the laws passed in Massachusetts and
In the Delaware and Pennsylvania
colonies providing for the starting of
both common schools and institutions
for higher education. The speaker
dwelt at some length onsthe important
part these institutions for the higher
education of the young played in de-
veloping the highest possibilities of
our civilization. Higher education was
the great search light, which in every
field of human endeavor, was bringing
to. light new discoveries.
DIR. WISHARD,
by whom the corner stone was laid. in
the course of his remarks referred to
the Importance of Christian education.

Wait Until Next Year.
It was announced yesterday that
Colonel Wall had practically given up
the idea of piping water from Ophir
to the Camp Floyd district this fall
This does not mean the abandonment
of the project, by any manner of means,
and it is confidently expected that
early in the coming season the promo
tiers of the enterprise will inaugurate
active operations and convey the much
needed stream. into the district.
Colonel Wall was in the city yester-
day and when questioned regarding the
water proposition Stated that while
those interested had not taken any de-
finite stand in the matter the likelihood
was that the pipe line would not be
constructed this year. Early in the
Spring, however, it is the intention TO
make the Improvement and the neces-
sary preliminary arrangements are be-
ing made to that end. Out at Ophir the
mine and mill of the Ophir-Hill com
pany are being worked to their fullest
capacity and regular shipments of con-
centrates are being made to the smell
tiers. The properties of the Ophir- Hill
are the only ones being operated in the
camp, although it is said, however
that negotiations are now on looking

timbers prevented further work. At a
depth Of 100 feet the vein will again be
tapped, and it's full width determined.
There are two distinct kinds of ore in
the vein. One kind carries 5 to 10 per
cent. copper and runs well in gold The
other is dark quartz, running $50 in
gold, and often found in a free state
visible to the naked eye. A Ihim will
soon be on the ground and the Charm
ed will be sunk to a depth of 500 feet.
Everyone who has seen the slaim be-
lieves it to be bonanza. All that De-
troit needs to make of it great camp
is deep sinking. The surface indications
are as fine as any in the west. Pot
holes and "gophering'' never yet made
a mining camp.
