GETTING DOWN TO WORK.
Colonel Wall Preparing For the
Water Proposition.

Colonel Wall was in from Ophir yes
terday for the purpose of consulting
with his associates in the proposed
water deal, the successful carrying out
of which means that the Camp Floyd
district is to be redeemed through the
conveying of the waters of Ophir
creek there in system, which is esti-
mated to cost in the neighborhood of
$50, 900. When approached on the SUBJ
ject Colonel Wall had little to add to
what has already been given in The
Herald; but he was confident that
there would be no hitch just as soon
as the snow goes off and the frost
leaves the ground. All of the neces-
sary preliminary work is now being
done and the parties who are to sup
ply the piping and machinery are
ready to commence operations at the
first sign from Colonel Wall.
The Ophir-Hill concentration is just
getting into working order, the colonel
says, and it has not yet been deter
mined whether or not the plant is to
be operated during the summer. Every
thing depends upon the actions of the
metals upon the New York and Lon
don exchanges. A small force only is
being worked in the mines of the
group. but as soon as the concentration
is placed in full operation, if that time
ever comes. the number OF miners is
to be doubled up.

EIGHTY THOUSAND Loss.
Chicago's Blaze Causes Some Start
ling Incidents.


Chicago, March pa fire which broke
out in the basement of the Bell clothing
house. at the corner of State and Olney
street, today, destroyed the entire con-
tents of the establishment above the sec
ond floor and left only the walls of the
building from that floor to the ground
standing.
Occurring at the busiest hour of the
day, with the store crowded with Gus
toners and employees, and the flames
running through the building like a tray
of powder, filing every nook and corner
with smoke. it was remarkable that no
lives were lost. In attempting to escfpe
from the building the following persons
were injured:
C. H. Smith. leg broken in juHping
from second floor and bruised abe the
body.
Hick, Burns, elevator boy, slightly
burned about the face.
Grace Mertell, clerk. bruised by a fall
and carried from the building.
Helen Caesar, clerk in store adjoining
the burning building, overcome by smoke
Samuel Cohn, salesman. and John
Lichel, the engineer. had a narrow escape
from death. They were on the third floor
alarm of fire when first given. Both trieG
to get down stairs and were about TO
jump, but the shouts of the crowd below
warned them not to do so. It became too
hot for them in the window and both
men, grasping q sign which extended
across the building to just below the third
story windows, swung off and held on to
by the fremen.
The loss on the building was SIG, 900 and
on stock SO, goo. The building was insured
for $4,000, and the stock for $50, 900.

Judge Kellog,s Enterprise.

OF the mining operations of Judge
kellogg. of Provo. and associates, the
Gunnison correspondent OF the Denver
Republican says:
Judge Kellogg. of Provo. Utah, and
a party of friends are on Cottonwood
creek looking over the Kellogg proper
ties in that vicinity and making ar
rangements for the carrying out of
one of the biggest schemes that has
yet been attempted in the Duncan min
ing district. 1t is to put a tunnel under
Bonanza hill for a distance of 1000
feet and tap the Bonanza vein at a
great depth. and possibly cut into a
large body Of ore which they think the
many small veins which have been I'M
covered on top of the hill lead to.
The carrying out Of the present plans
will, no doubt, prove what the district
is worth as a gold district and the
work will be watched with great in
terest. 1t is reported here today that
Kellogg has laid out a tOwnSite on
Cottonwood creek.

st. Paul. March ga winnipeg,
Man, special to the Pioneer Press says:
The first step in the renewed fight
over parochial schools in Manitoba be-
gan in the legislature this afternoon.
when the full message was presented
from the Dominion government at
Ottawa, ordering the Manitoba iegis-
aatUre to give the Catholics their rights
as they existed before the abolition OF
parochial schools in $780,
The reading of the Ottawa message
occupied over an hour and, all verbiage
removed. it amounts to the request as
above stated. Mr.. Martin, a French
' ssatholic member of the legislature,
urged that the government should take
5mme date action, but Premier Green
way protested, saying the message
should be printed in order that all
members might know what they were
dealing with. Here the matter rested
and the discussion will now probably
mot take place until Thursday. Mean
while the situation grows more COM
plicated.
The Catholics ard their friends say
That Greenway and his followers, e
they reject the order from Ottawa, are
rejecting an order signed by her ma
JsSty the queen, and such act would
be equivalent to open rebellion. They
say they cannot conceive how the
Dominion government could do other
wise than make the formal request
they have made. as they were bound,
so far as lay in their POWER. to take
Immediate action upon the decision Of
the highest court and see that the
grievances OF her majestys subjects OF
the r nan Catholic faith in Manitoba
received redress at the earliest possible
moment
The Greenway government contends.
, on the other hand, that the present
school law is satisfactory to many
Catholics if it were not for the agita-
ton by the priests of the church. They
say that if Manitoba is .coerced into
recreating a dual system, 'dualism both
5n language and education will be ex-
tended to the territories as well and
thus there would be perpetuated into
the west the evils which have caused
dissatisfaction and stagnation in the
province. Among the members on the
government side tonight It Stems to be
a matter OF opinion that-the remedial
order will be disposed of during the
coming week and without any great
amount of speaking. Premier Green
way. when speaking on the matter
said the length of the discussion would
depend upon the amount individual
members wanted to talk. Premier
Greenway denies that Pc will com
promise the matter by introducing a
bill making the schools entirely

A Queer VIII Brings About queer
Results,

Oakland. Cal. March 26.--When DR..
Samuel Merritt died he left a two mil
lion dollar estate to his sister, Mrs.
Garcelon. When Mrs. Garcelon died
she left a will providing for trust
fund of $500. 1000; the income Of which
was to be paid to DR.. Merritt's neph-
ews, James and Fred Merritt. One of
the conditions of the trust is that
should either of the two brothers ever
contest her will, question the wisdom
of any of it's provisions or doubt its
genuineness, both shall lose every right
and title to the trust. the innocent
brother suffering alike with the guilty
one. The trust property then reverts
to the residuary legates of Mrs. Garce-
lon. Nevertheless James Garcelon did
contest the will and was beaten in
the superior court. He appealed and
the supreme court upheld the lower
court. Now the attorney of the estate
Announces that he will notify Captain
J. n. Knowles, the custodian of the
trust, to cease paying the allowance
to both the Merritt brothers. Captain
Knowles is in doubt what to do and
the matter will be tested in the courts.

BulliOn-Beck Directors Have Or

1t is now highly probable that the
board of directors of the Bullion-Beck
and Champion Mining company will
not let a contract for the 5000 feet of
six inch piping for the Homansville
water system until next year. Every
thing will depend upon the result OF
tests which are now being made of
the four-inch system. Should those
tests demonstrate that the present
piping can carry sufficient water to
supply the town and the new mill, then
there will be no change made in the
system until the coming year.
Judging from reports received yes
terday from Eureka at the headquar-
tiers of the company. the machinery
of the concentration will be ready for
the tests about the first day of the

fifteen days longer before the final
