Especial Correspondence.l

SEATTLE, Wash, May 24.-The at
tention of the ever alert and watchful
mining prcspector is now directed to-
ward the lately discovered western
Washington copper belt, about so miles
northeast of this city. The principal
lode thus far discovered is near Index,
on the Sultan river, in Snohopish coun-
ty. The ore averages 30 per cent copper,
and besides being remarkably rich it is
believed that the deposits will be found
to be extensive when the field has been
more definitely defined. While con-
siderable quantity of ore has been taken
out, enough at least to demonstrate the
richness of the find the district is in its
infancy. a number of smelters have
been erected, though the work of reduc-
ing the ore has not progressed far. The
Index district is on the line of the Great
Northern railroad, and score of pro-
ductive mines could be made shippers
in a few months.
With the constantly increasing de-
mand for copper, a copper mine is as
good as gold mine, and the people
here are expecting decided boom to
follow the prospecting along Sultan riv-
er. The accessibility of the new copper
belt and its proximity 10 Seattle, it is
argued, are points favorable to its de-
velopment, even though the ore were of
a much lower grade. AS, of all the
metals mined by man, only gold and
copper have not suffered in demand by
reason of overproduction, it is not sur
where these metals are found, or where
there is prospect of finding them,
while there is stagnation in nearly all
other mining enterprises. This condi-
tion is due mainly TO the increased uses
for copper in electrical and mechanical
developments and for the sheathing of
warships and the making of cartridges.
1t is said that copper is being de-
manded in greater quantities than it
can be produced. read in a paper the
other day that an English cartridge
factory had to shut down because it
could not get sufficient supply of cop
per to keep the plant running. 1t is
commodity that the world must have,
and the greater the advance in the line
of electrical development the greater
the demand for copper and brass. Thus
there is likely to be no let up ip copper
mining, particularly as there is at this
time less than 80, 900 tons of copper in
sight in the markets of the east to meet
the worlds great demands.
The Importance of the Western
Washington mines is shown in the fact
that the great copper kings are anxious
to secure holdings here. Both Marcus
DAILY and Senator Elect W. A. Clarke,
the rival Montana millionaires and
their agents have been here securing
the district for desirable claims. The
rival investors have clashed several
times, and as a result the miners have
raised the prices on their properties,
though a number of valuable mines
have been picked up by Clarke and

ONE METHOD OF DUMPING EXCAVATIONS ON
CHICAGO DRAINAGE CANAL.
asserted by the drainage board that the
popula tion within the sanitary district
will fall much short of that figure and
that, therefore, the proviso need not at
present be taken into consideration.
The inspectors may take a different
view As Chicago has not had reliable
census since 1890 the question involved
will be rather knotty one.
The clause in the Chicago sewerage
act, which provides for the appoint
ment of state commissioners of inspec-
ton. was inserted upon the demand of
the people living in the Illinois river
valley, who feared that water would be
contaminated and that the operations
of the current might result in the in
jury of their property. The commits
sioners appointed, as required by the
act. are residents.of that valley, and it
is their duty to see that the provisions
of the law safeguarding the interests
of that territory are complied with.
The commission is TO satisfy itself as to
the possibility of the danger to the Illi
nois river country from floods, which
some people insist will result from the
increasing flow of water. 1t is said that
it will take the state commissioners un-
til about the 1st of November to make
its inspection. The drainage board an
nounces that if no unforeseen obstacles
present themselves, the sewerage sys-
TOW, will ba opona1 bv Too
1t is intimated that st. Louis will ap
peal to congress against the use of the
Mississippi as an outlet for Chicago's
sewage on the ground that its waters
will be polluted to an extent inimical to
the health and comfort of that place,
and it may be that a question of ri
parian rights of national Importance
will be involved. Chicago, however,
contends that, with the great volume of
pure water which is to be turned into
the channel from Lake Michigan, the
rivers in question will be purified rath
er than contaminated. The sewage, ex-
pert sanitary engineers insist, will be
wholly dissipated in solution before it
gets into the Illinois river and that
danger to the Mississippi is entirely out
of the question.
The construction of the Chicago
drainage canal is one of the most ex-
tensive pieces of engineering work ac-
complished during this decade These
figures give some idea of its magnitude:
1t required the excavation of 81, 427, S61
cubic yards of material, much of it solid

oueer Ohio River Fish.

Not many persons know what a
spoonhill is, but all those who do know
that every spring this fish is the espe-
cial prey of Shippingport fishermen,
who catch them in great numbers be-
low the falls.
The spoonbill is probably the largest
fish that swims the Ohio river. He is
anywhere from foot long to six feet,
but also half Of him is bill. The bill is
spoon shaped, but is a single one. The
lower lip is short, the bill being used
much like a spade. The spoonbill has
no scales, but is covered with tough
hide Altogether he is an uncanny OBJ
ject and far from delicacy in appear
ance. He is also called by some ''shovel-
nose cat. -
Every spring spoonbills in schools
visit the falls Of the Ohio. 1t is tradi-
tion that they come up all the way
from the gulf of Mexico every spring to
spawn at the falls, but more credit is
given the theory that they live scat
tered in the river right along and only
c0ngregate in the spawning season. -

CHICAGO. May 30.-The appointment
by Governor Tanner of a commission to
inspect the Chicago drainage canal and
outlet and the issuance by Secretary of
War Alger of an order permitting the
sewage to be turned into the channel
through which il will be conveyed TO
the Illinois river and thence to the Mis-
sissippi. give promise that the day of
Chicago's deliverance from unwhole-
some and nauseating odors is near at
hand.
The construction of the Chicago drain
age canal has been work of great mag
nitude and of equally great necessity,
and the people of this city are CORE
spcndingly elated over the approaching
consummation of the enterprise. The
outlet is through the Chicago, the Des-
PLANES and the Illinois rivers into the
Mississippi. As the rivers are controlled
by the federal government. it was neces-
sary to secure an act OF congress per-
mitting the use of these streams as an
outlet for Chicago's sewers. The act
required that the channel should be of
such capacity and size as to produce and
maintain at all times flow of not less
than 800, 600 cubic feet of water min
ute, with current not exceeding three
miles an hour. This flow was based on
population of 500, 000 within the
limits OF the Chicago sanitary district.
which was defined in the act The lines
of this district, however, are not coex-
tensive with the boundaries of the city.
The drainage board, which has had
charge of the great enter prise, is conf
dent that it has faithfully complied
with the requirements of the law in the
construction of the channel, providing
the requisite volume of water to carry
off and dilute the sewage SO that it will
not contaminate the rivers through
which it passes.
There is, however, one provision of
the act which may cause friction be-
tween the drainage board and the state
inspectors. 1t is this:
''If the population of the district
draining into such channel shall at any
time exceed 1900, 900, such channel
shall be made and kept of such capacity
that it will produce and maintain a
continuous flow of net less than 90, 900
cubic feet of water a minute for each
100000 of the population.
Although Chicago's population con-
siderably outnumhers 1000, 900, it is

DAILY. Now that their interests are in
the gigantic copper combination, it is
probable that the rivalry in securing
claims will doubtless be less spirited
What the effect of the combination
will be ON the mining interests in this
new copper district cannot, of course,
be definitely foretold; but, with present
and prospective demands for this metal,
there does not seem to be any danger of
a curtailing of mining developments or
any lessening of the efforts of the pros
pectors to find new fields or extend the
bounds of old ones.
The purpose of the great Copper trust,
which was organized a few days ago in
the east and known as the Amalgamat-
ed company, is avowedly to control the
price and output of the copper of the
world. Nearly all of the big producers
are in it, and most Of the valuable
mines not heretofore controlled by them
have been or are being gobbled up. 1t
is said that the $500, 900, 900 steel trust
will be but a pygmy in comparison with
the copper combine when the latter gets
fairly in motion. Behind it are the
Rockefellers and all the Standard Oil
company capitalists; ]. Pierpont Nor
gan and other New York millionaires; |;
the Boston copper magnates, half doz-
en- of whom cannot count on the fingers
of one hand the millions they have
made in copper, besides Clarke and DAILY
and other western mine owners and
operators.
Once before an attempt was made to
control the copper output of the world,
and it ended in a disaster that shook all
Europe. 1t was only ten years ago that
the Societe des Metaux of Paris exploit
ed its gigantic scheme for doubling the
price of copper. The price was doubled,
but only for time. Then the crash
came, and almost every one connected
with it was overwhelmed. Wbat>will
be the outcome of the present effort to
control copper remains to be seen. With
our little copper belt out here under the
shadow of the Cascades we will watch
the great game with interest.
