In order to get favorable action upon
their petitions for a bridge across the
Des Moines river at Cliffland, the peo-
pie of that vicinity who have petition
ed the board OF supervisors in the mat
ter will have to get it acted upon at
an election. This is the decision that
has been reached by the board after
many months of patient laboring upon
the subject The code of Iowa eX-
pressly prohibits the board of super
visors of any country from construct
ing any bridge that will cost more than
$4,000 This takes the matter entirely
out of the boards hands. and leaves
petition.
Settles Question.
The decision in the matter will set
tie a question that has been agitated
for some time. Early last spring pc
tition signed by about 500 people was
presented to the board of supervisors
asking it to construct bridge across
the Des Moines river near Cliffland.
The board at once took the matter un'
der consideration, and while they
would all have been pleased to have
granted the petition, they could no.
see their way clear to do so until they
had examined the law in the case, and
find out to a certainty that they were
empowered to order the bridge. Ever
since the petition has been presented
the board has been diligently at wori
on the matter, and has examined many
authorities. After a careful perusal OF
| the code, they have found section
! t1,nt No. nd nth ntD Tt.S
takes it entirely out of their hands.
The Law.
Section 423 expressly states that the
board cannot order in a bridge for the
| benefit of the county that will cos
more than $4,000 without having the
matter brought before the people a
an election, and having a majority o
the votes of said county cast for O.
against the measure. A decision o
the supreme court which follows sec
ton 423, makes the action of an,
board, should it go ahead and build /;
bridge at a cost of more than $4,000
a misdeameanor.
AS the bridge which was projected
at Cliffland would cost at a low est
mate at least $4,000 it can be readil
seen that the matter is entirely on
of the boards hands. While it is re
luctant to let the matter pass in thi
manner, they see no other way out, a
it is necessary that they should b
governed by the law in the matter
1t is understood that the board woul
IKE very much to see a bridge col
structed at that point, but the wa
; the matter stands now their hands ar
tied and all they can do is to await
time when the matter shall have bee
voted upon, if this means shall b
:, taken, and then they will be in pos
ton to act for themselves.

The board will probably adjour

Highland Company Believes It Iyas az.
Elegant Chance to Succeed

James c. Duffy. one of the stockhold-
ers in the Highland Mining and Milling
Co.. of the Red Lion district. arrived in
the city Thursday and spent several
days at the mines, says the Phiipsburg
Call.
This company was incorporated re-
Gently and in it are several we'll known
residents of Butte, all of whom are prac-
teal business or mining men and not
professional promoters. Mr.. Duffy is
himself we'll and tavorably known in
this county of which he has been res
ident for several years.
The development work on the group
of claims owned by the company en-
courageS the stockholders to believe that
by next summer the stamp mill will be
running on high grade ore. An entirely
new process OF saving the gold will be
adopted and from tests made Mr.. Duffy
believes that fully so per cent of the wall
ues can be saved on the plates and
nearly 16 per cent by concentration. He
also states that the lead on one claim
is fully SO feet in width. and where eX-
posed averages $1S.6O per ton.
