Tap the Whole Camp.

,,;ct in Idaho comes the news o
one If the most stupendous mining
undertakings ever conceived in the
northwest. It is no less than the
construction of an immense tunnel
four miles in length to tap the ell

of the most enterprising mining

denth of about 1000 feet. The
tunnel is to he made large enough

A company has been incorpo
rated with capital stock of S2,-
ZOO 900 to carry on the work, and
oll the claims in the line of the tun-
mel ere now being pooled and put
into the company. 1t is mainly
eastern capital that is interested in
the undertaking and which is to
carry the project to successful is
sue. 1t is hoped to start work on
the tunnel in April or May of next
year.
Commencing from the mouth Of
the tunnel it is expected to cut into
the first ledge at distance Of about
ZOO feet, and about every 500 feet
II GREATER throughout the entire
distance a good ledge will be tap
ped. Aside from the big tunnel
project that has been stirred up the
creates, excitement in the camp,
Mr.. Walker says that mining activ.
ity in the Florence district is APP

The Banner Gold Mining COM
pany has recently let contract to
extend the present 600 foot tunnel
distance OF 400 feet more. They
are drifting in ore. eleven tons Of

been secured by A. Walker, who
will incorporate company to
operate it. A hundred tons OF Sis
ore are now i, sight on the proper
ty. Work on the property will
soon be commenced and continued
throughout the winter.
The Ozark company, 4 big in
corporation, has recently put in a
five stnmq mill on their property.
Owing to previous acknowledgement
of the mine the old company ran
into debt. Under the present Or
ganization the company will pro-
coed wsth the development of the
property OIL All extensive scale and
will also pay off the Indebtedness
hanging over it. Spokane and
Moscow men compose the COM
pany.
Arrangements are being made
to resume work on the Waverly
mine this winter. The company
will add hoist. enlarge the shaft
and sink it 100 feet deeper.
The Oregon has been purchased
by Redro and King, who will PIT

Attendance Was small But Interest
Mas Manifested.

Huron. NOV. 15.-ThcUc WAS but a
small attendance at the irrigation con
ference here Wednesday. The inter
est manifest was keen, and the result
will be helpful "a the cause. Hon.
Stacey Cochrane Of Brookings, state
engineer of irrigation, gave ;n inter
esting talk, AS did also Hon. j. y.
iiuuoer of aberdeen. Mr.. Cochrane
said that instead of people being in-
different to tho subject of irrigation,
they are more earnest than ever. The
successful experiments OF the past
season have awakened lively interest
and next season many others VIII try

is now going over the state talking 10
gatherings and individuals, and when
the tour is completed he will organize
a state association and enter upon the
work Systematically. Another meet
ing will be held here within the next
month, when many who are engaged
in irrigating small tracts viii report
their success or failure.
According 70 the official canvass
made on Tuesday by The board Of
county commissioners, this (Beadle)
county gave only 81 majority for \.
w. Campbell for circuit judge at the
election held on the I'd inst. This
falling off can only be accounted fer
by the dissatisfaction in the repuh-
lican ranks growing out Of the distri-
button OF federal patronage. Efforts
to patch up the wounds have been Of
little avail and will not be successful
as long as those having the "say-so''
of the offices continue 10 ignore the
will of the better portion of the repub'
lican party in this city and county.

TROUBLE Is NOT ALL SETTLED
Echoes From Huron's Capital Fight
Will Still BE Heard.

Sioux Falls. Nov. 1.-THE victory Sc
cured by Huron in the case tried i'm the
federal court which relieves the city of
the payment of warrants issued to the
amount Of $4,000 and illegally used in
the payment of capital campaign ex-
penses. does not settle all of the cases
growing out of hat memorable capital
fight. When the federal court recon-
yenes here December IA two CAGES
against the board Of education of the
city of Huron will be heard. The cases
involve the validity of 500. 200 worth of
school bonds issued ostensibly TO build
a new school building but in fact TO
provide funds for use in the capital
campaign. The bonds are not due but
suit is brought on the interest coupons
which have been defaulted and the de.
Tense will involve the validity of the
bonds. The National Life Insurance
company of Montpelier, VI, and the
New Hampshire Trust company OF
Manchester. n. H., hold the unp1id
coupons. In the first trial Judge
Edgerton found for the city but the
court of appeals reversed the decision
and remanded the case for a rehearing.
In the case just decided il was shown
by Huron that the brokers who cashed
the warrants knew they were issued IL
legally and charged $4,000 for the risk
they were taking. The Chicago firm,
Farson, Leach & Co., 1t is held, specu-
lated on the location of the capital at
Huron and on the payment Of the war
rants by the city. Their case did not
bring up the same points which are in
volved in the school bond cases.
