BENKELMAN, Neb., May 2o.-[Spe-
cia1. To-day, Oscar Ca1lihan and L.
Morse of the Dundy County Irrigation
Company served an injunction upon
parties using water for irrigation pur-
poses out of Rock creek, a tributary Of
the Republican, which empties into the
latter stream just above the big ditch,
situated west Of town. This lessened
their water supply and the question in
volved the right OF parties to use water
out of tributaries that empty into streams
above and near where bitches are taken
out when the use of such water inter
feres with the operation of the ditch.

The Bee has always contendet

The Bee has always contended
that the statistics Of Nebraska's
mortgage Indebtedness as reported
by the deputy commissioner of
labor, we're incorrect and mislead-
ing. Under the law Of Nebraska
every mortgage is sure to be
recorded; but when the mortgage
is paid off the releases are filed or
not, just as it happens. In Adams
county an effort has been made to
have the old releases placed on
record. As a result Of the effort
800 releases have been fled, one
firm Of chattel mortgage brokers
filing 500. This means that in
Adams county alone 800 mortgages
have been carried on the mortgage
indebtedness record after they had
been paid off. A similar con-
dition exists in every county in
the state. When releases are
recorded as promptly and as Ger
tainly as the mortgages them
selves, Nebraska's credit will re.
eeive a new and higher rating

however, before long.
The Savage Bros. are doing some very
ingenious work on tho Gulch mine, on
which they have taken a lease and bond.
They found the workings full Of water
and, 90 sampling the dump, they found
that the fine stuff carried a good deal Of
coarse gold They accordingly put up q
~horsewhim and hoisted out the water, so
as to clear the workings for regular min
ing operations. Alongside the shaft
they built a large tank and into this they
are dumping the water. At the lower
end Of the tank they made a series Of
sluices, and in this they are washing the
screenings from the dumpwlth the water
which they are clearing out Of the mine.
The results are proving the wisdom Of
theu ingenuity.
