GAMBLING RESORT.

New York Journal: An innocent look
ing petition for a receiver for the Chesa-
peake Beach Railway company may or
may not frustrale the plans for a great
national Monte Carlo to be situated less
than 80 miles from Washington, ID. G. 1t
may or may not wind up the possibilities
for existence of what would have been
the most delightful spot in America for
lobbying and lobbyists and their friends
in and out of congress.
The plans comprised mammoth cafe,
the gambling section to be modelled after
Monte Carlo, sumptuous villas for rich
lobbyists, great pleasure palace, a race
track to be controlled by Richard Croker,
beautiful drives, parks and lawns, besides
a great pavilion modelled after the Nor
mon pavilion at Salt Lake, to be placed
far out on Chesapeake bay, where operas
could be given.
Colonel Ambrose c. Dunn, a West Point
graduate, an eX-army officer and a noted
engineer, has, as vice president for the
Chesapeake Bay Construction company
filed the petition. Colonel Dunn had a
one third interest in the entire property
Interested with him are David II. Mof

aire, president Of the First National
bank of Denver; Otto Mears, another
Colorado millionaire, and Charles Pepper

Chetwood, his attorney, of No. Cedar
street, gave some details of the original
plan yesterday.
Some years ago." Mr. Chetwood said,
"a company was organized to build a rail-
road from Washington to Chesapeake bay

sort Money gave out before the road
was completed, but the company had OBJ
tained a most remarkable perpetual
charter from Maryland.
'This charter gave the road power to
sci! liquor, operate places of amusement
and run hotels. besides running the road.
1t was so wOrded that it prevented inter-
ference from police officials.
'Colonel Dunn purchased this property
and charter, together with several thou
sand acres of land granted by the state
of Maryland from ]. Kennedy Tod & Co.,
at foreclosure sale in 1897. He had in
tcrested with him Dave MOffatt Of Dem
yer and some New York capitalists.
Several hundred thousand dollars have
already been spent. The road, 20 miles
long. is about completed. A great pier
and a Casino are now built at Chesapeake
beach and contracts are out for a $780,
900 hotel"
The trouble now grows out of the al
legged interference of Colonel Dunn's as
socates with him as the practical con-
structing engineer The government has
condemned some Of the bridges and cul-
verts, and he says that this bad work has
been caused by Mcars and Pepper, who
have frequently overruled his directions.

An Important Decision by the

In THE BIG MINING SUIT

no continuity of the vein, or in other
words, that the vein broke off at a certain
point in Lexington ground. The SUI

committed in establishing continuity as
