The Roanoke daily times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1895-1897, 1895-09-21

THE speech of General John b. Cor
don at the dedication OF the Chicka-
manga battlefield on Thursday last was
full of eloquence and patriotism, worthy
OF his great reputation az an orator,
statesman and soldier, and pronounced
by those who heard it as the great
effort IF his life. His closing remarks
were grand and i'm pressive, equaling
in brilliancy of word painting any
thing Of similar character ever
uttered in this cou ntry, being as fol-
lows:
Sand now, by the authority Of the
American Congress and the executive
department of the government; in the
presence Of these survivors OF the great
struggle; in the midst OF this historic
woodland, whose leaves were Redeemed
with heroic blood, and whose giant oaks
still bear upon their shivered trunks
the Visible track of shot and shell; by
these flowing fountains, whose crystal
waters symbolic the purity of purpose
which convenes us-in the presence of
all these witnesses, and in the namc Of
this great republic and its people, we
set apart, as an American Mecca, and
consecrate for all time. this immortal
battle ground, made forever glorious by
Valor."

depth of 400 feet. Three-fourths of a
mile in length OF rich lodges can be
drifted on and worked through the tun-
mel. The water power that can be
made available at the mouth of the
tunnel, at comparatively small expense,
is not only sufficient to drive all the
machinery required in the mine and
tunnel, bat will work all the ore taken
out. The mouth of the tunnel would
be below the line where snow would
hinder o. erations in winter aud would
also be on the side of the summit that
the railroad and river are on and prac-
l;c4lly many miles nearer markets and
supplies than Silver City is, where all
the ores ofthe mountain have hereto
fore been WORKED.
1t is, in the opinion of the NUGGET min
ing expert, the biggest opportunity for
a paying mining enterprise now pre-
senting ilselfin Idaho.

The sinker Tunnel Again.

|
The Statesman, few days since
mentioned the fact that three mile
drain tunnel had recently been COM
pleted to remove the water from coal
mines in the Pennsylvania Anthracite
district, this to make it possible to ex-
tract few million tons of coal, upon
which the profit per ton is quite small.
| The Statesman mentions this enterprise
for the purpose of again calling atten-
ton to an enterprise which has over
and over again been suggested by both
the NUGGET and Statesman-that of
tunneling War Eagle mountain, far
enough, at least, to drain the great
string of mines situated upon its east
ern slope. This enterprise has COM
mended itself TO every mining engineer
and capitalist, who has either casually
or carefully looked into the matter, for
the past twenty-five years. Until
within the past two or three years, the
great obstacle which has prevented the
enterprise from being inaugurated was
the fact that nearly dozen of proper
ties which the completion of the tunnel
would make Immediately immensely
valuable, were either tied by litiga-
tion or were owned by parties who
would not, upon reasonable terms, join
in the undertaking. Capital mover yet
in this world was found generous enough
to voluntary 90 into an enterprise to
promote the interests of indiYiduas
who are not willing to fairly divide
profits With it. This is the only reason
the South Sinker tunDel has not been
d draining the east side of War Eagle for |
a number Of years past. Its practicable |
ity and the fact that it would open up 1
for proftably working, good bodies of 4
rich ore, is established beyond any /
reasonable doubt. But if Smith goes
20 the expense of running this tunnel
be is first going 20 be sure that Brown,
Zones and Robinson, who own the prop
,rtIes it will make valuable, will pay
Tim back more than he expends. Hap
lilly, jones, Brown and Robinson ought
low TO be in a frame Of mind which
honld make it possible for Smith to
ONE to some equitable understanding
18th them. Instead of dozen insol-
ent companies owning the properties
ley are now in the hands of half \
oxen business men who realize that
ithont the drainage their prospects

lat they can we'll afford to give the
pitalists who will undertake the en-
rprise a very generous share of the

BISMARCK, N. D., Oct. 2l.--The Pepke
test case as to the constitutionaity Of
the iDjunctional features Of the state
prohibtoty law was again argued before
the supreme court this morning. This
was originally AL action against Sheriff
Cronan of Walsh county, by whom Pepke
was kept in custody for contempt. For
his violation Of the irjunction az TEN,
pleton he was sentenced to imprison-
ment for 80 days and given Il heavy tine.
Application was then made to Judge
Thomas for writ of habeas corpus on
the ground that he had been deprived
Of his liberty without proper pfosecu-
tion Judge Thomas discharged the
writ. An appeal was taken TO the supreme
court at Washington aad that tribunal
| affirmed the order Of the court below on
| the ground that the court of last resort
in North Dakota had not been appealed
to. Application was then made before
the supreme court of North Dakota at
Grand Forks for writ and it was made
returnable here yesterday On the hear
ing the writ was discharged on the
ground that the applicant, Pepke, was
not at the time the petition was made
actually in Jail. Sheriff jacobson, who
had him in charge, then placed him in
the Burleigh county jail and another
writ was sworn out last evening, return
able this morning. In his argument
Attorney General Cowan, who appeared
for the state, moved that the appica
ton for his discharge be granted and
Pepke be released, basing his motion on
the fact, either that the mandate of the
supreme court at ashington had not
beeen served on the sheriff of Walsh
county and hence that he was not legally
in custody or that by limit of time he
had served his sentence. Both sides
agreeing, he WAS discharged. A peculiar
feature of the matter is that Peptle's at
torney did not desire him released, al
this precuded an appeal to Washington
where they wanted the case to go. The
real party interested is John G. Oswald
who, according to Pcpke's testimony
had hired him to violate the injunction

Good Demand.
BY Associated Press.
DULUTH, Oct 23.-ln two days of last
week and one of this, two million bush
els of Duluth and Manitoba wheat have
been sold in New York, and yesterday
and the day before exporters there
worked off about one million bushels
AS there are light stocksat the seaboard,
this means wheat will move out from
Duluth fully as rapidly as it is sold
there and that for the remainder of the
season there will be a much heavier
movement than there has been thus far
from northwest points, which amounted
to about seventeen million bushels, the
tonnage being augmented by boats
which have hitherto been exclusively III
the Lake Michigan trade.
All Touring mills at the head of the
lakes are running this week for the first
time in nearly month. All are SO far
sold ahead that part of them arc out OF
the market entirely and Others are prac-
tically out. This, of course, means that
they will be run at their full capacity IN
order to get out as much flour as posi-
BILE before navigation closes.
. 1T seems only d matter OF capacity as
to how much they will grind, for busi-
ness has been booked at good margins
and there is profit in the milling busl-
ness again for the first time in year.

New YORK, Oct. 24.--Although it was
expected that good days sport would
be had at Morris park today, with seven
well filed races on the card and a few
surprises due to the change of form, it
was not thought that lot of central
Office detectives would cause consterna
ton among betting men and in the
Office of the association, but such was
the case and q fine days sport was
marred by the action of the police.
After the fourth race had been run
eight bookmakers, with five assistants,
were arrested on charges of boolmaking
and taken to Essex Market police court,
where they were baled Inspector Nc
Cullagh was at the track and, after the

prisoners were also taken to the Essex
Market police court and released on

municipal handicap, one mile and three
quarters, in which August Belmont's $
crack Henry of Navarro, was asked to
take up l3O pounds and give four
pounds each to Rcy FL Santa Anita and
Clifford, while Andrews was a light
weight. The quartette got off in good
order. Andrews led past the grand
stand for the first time all under strong

Santa Anita and Clifford close together

dozen lengths over Clifford, who had
taken second place and was run
