CLAIMS AS TO CRESCENT



Ohief En sineer Of tn. Lower Bridge Talk.
OF the Peespece.
Charles F. Lowesh, of st. Paul,
chief engineer of the Davenport
Bridge Railway and Terminal COM
pany, which has opened an Office at
the corner Of laird and Harrison
streets. Davenport. and who is max
ing additional surveys for the shore
work, was interviewed by . Daven-
port Leader Representative Saturday.
The work that is being done now,
said the engineer. is simply prepara-
tory to the resumption of operations.
There is q force Of some Is men at
work on the Rock Island side of the
rivers They. are contining their
operations to making ready for IN
increase Of the force by the first OF
the coming week. One Of the large
derricks has been put in place. and
another will be erected at once. The
tramway has been reconstructed to
the first pier cut from the shore, and
the frames for the co fer dam for the
second piee are about constructed.
AS soon IS they are completed they
will be sunk and the dam completed
and the water taken out. "sy Tues
day Of the-eeming week, ''said tho en-
gineer.n Charles Stone. who has
the contract for the stone work.
will have . force of SO men at work,
and within o month We expect to
have forces at work on both sides Of
the river on the shore work, that is,
construction Of dumps, embankments
and -abutments. MIR. Stones oon-
tract calls for the completion Of the
piers of the bridge by May l, and
see nothing in the way of their COM
pletion by that time. The stage Of
water in the river is favorable for
the work now. and 1t will be pushed
from this time on. Mr.. Stone has
chartered the largest o. Capt. John
McCaffery's barges for the river
work and the lumber for another has
been shipped from st. Paul, and is
expected in the city today. As soon
launched. The two carloads of ma
chinery are already upon the ground
and three more have been shipped
from st. Paul and are expected to
be in the yards today. A fourth
load has been shipped from
Chicago, consisting of new
pump and other new machinery,
which has been purchased expressly
for the work. The shore surveys
have been going on the past week,
and as soon as they are completed
contracts will be let for the shore
work, probably wishin tho next 80
days. Shortly thereafter large forces
will be employed on either side of
the river, as the volume of work to
be accomplished this fall will be
very great. The granite facing for
the upper ends of the piers has all
been cut, and will be ready for ship
ment as fact as 1t is needed. We
have the money in the bank for the
completion OF the entire sub-struc.
ture Of the bridge. and there will be
nothing in the way for continuous
work from this time on" Mr.. Low
eth stated that he expected to spend
most OF his time here during the fall
and winter, and from this time On
until the bridge is completed.

miners that have been ignored by others. He
says:
My advice to all who have tho Klondike
craze Is TO go slow. Not 10 per cent. of the men
already gone will land at Dawson. They are
bound for new prospects and new sections. for
they all know that there is no room on the Klon-
dixie. Tho opinion Of miners is that. while there

Of course a very small percentage Of those who
go will ever find anything. The latest news is
that trouble OF n serious character may occur
between, the prospectors and the Northwest
mounted police. as hundreds say they will never
submit to the royalty. Some of the men have
not means to pay it, for they spent nearly their
last cent on supplies and transportation. These
men will go through in some manner, but l am
the seriousness Of the situation, the Northwest
Government will soon despatch $50 mounted
police to new customs stations to be established

Lieutenant-C Governor are to be appointed for
that portion of the territory in which the gold
fields are situated. and that by the aid OF these

there have been two secret conferences recently

by the Brooklyn men that New York should

should hail from this side of the river. II was
also understood that even II Tammany Hall

young Harry T. Gavin and his partner. named

nugget was valued at SO.
The two men started for Coffee Creek. but
they liked the looks OF Yankee Gulch and dc,

TO stay with their strike. Many stories Of
strikes come in. The most important authentic
report concerns the discovery by TruaX and
Dillon on Coffee Greek, Just above the Graves

5000 to $500 II ton. Truax Is an old Colorado
miner, who knows good quartz when he sees it,

managers concerning. quartz that, he and his
partner were allowed to take up this claim.

night and to-day. 1t is evident that this district
