Monday afternoon oscar stephens,
the well known stockman and owner
OF the old Judith Cattle Co. ranch on
Warm Spring creek, filed with the
clerk and recorder Il water right OF
1000 inches OF the waters Of Warm
Spring creek. Upon this ranch rises
the warm spring, a big body OF
water, warm twelve months n year,
and with a sufficient fall to afford
almost unlimited water power.
Mr.. Stephens has concluded nego.
tiations with Nr. r. X. Nelll, repre-.
senting the purchasers OF the Kendall
mining property In the North Mecca
sins for the lease to them of this
water for a period OF five years with
privilege Of an extension for an
equal period. When Mr.. Neill was
seen the same evening he was very
reticent concerning the plans but
finally admitted 1t to be t~heintention
Of Messrs. Finch & Campbell Of
Spokane, whom he represents, to
utilize this water power for the op-
Grafton OF an immense power and
pumping station. From seyenty-five
10 one hundred gallons n minute will
be pumped to the Kendall mill for
use in cyaniding the ore and n power
plant will be erected for the trans
mission to Kendall Of all the power
necessary for the operation OF the
machinery In the mill and mine. The
distance from the point where the
plant Will probably be erected 10 five
miles or a little over and right OF
way for the line will be Immediately
acquired. At one point, that neal
the houses on the Stephens ranch,
a fall OF thirty-one feetcan be secured,
while at the "lone tree" a point
further down, a fall OF fifty feet can
be readily secured.
The water ditch will be large,
probably sixteen or eighteen feet at
the bottom and from five to eight
feet deep. Four thousand inches Of
water amount to about 5000 cubic
feet, which with IA fall of fifty feet,
will develope some AGO horse power.
While both Mr.. Neill, and Mr.. Ken
dali, who will be a heavy stakeholder
in the company, stated positively
that neither the Great Northern COM
pany Of Gilt Edge, or any other min
Ing company would be interested in
the power plant. it is altogether
probable that IA plant Of sufficient
size to furnish great surplus power
will he erected and should othercom-
panies desire to negotiate for its
transmission, the Kendall company
will bo in n position to accommodate
them.
Mr.. Neill, who left Tuesday morn
ing for Spokane, will give much at
tcntion to this plant and the ma
chinery will be purchased as 500 as
practicable So that the work may be
hurried to completion. Surveyor
Mcfarland has been engaged to do
the engineer work at once.
This plant will utilize n great
power now going to waste and ad-
NIT Of the working Of low grade ores
at an increased profit. The invest
ment will probably reach forty or
fifty thousand dollars and many men
will he employed in the construction.

Also on the south slope of the
Moccasins considerable prospecting
and development work is being done
just now. This region has lain al
most idle for the past eighteen
months until right recently, but the
sale Of the Kendall properties and the
contamination Of other deals In that
vicinity have caused n general re.
newal OF work on all the properties
of any promise In the entire range.
On the Standard group, which con-
sists Of four claims situated on the
main divide near the center of the
range, the owners, Messrs. Crowley,
Bebb and Riser Bros. have three men
engaged In development work. At
present they are driving n one hun
dred foot tunnel on the STANDARD
lode to tap IA vein which has been ex-
posed on the surface, carrying good
values in both gold andcopper. The
tunnel is now in eighty-fve feet and
at a distance OF seventy-five feetfrom
the entrance has cross cut u vein Of
copper ore three feet in width. GEN
eral samples Of this vein give assay
returns OF eve percent copper and
two dollars in gold, and there are
seams near the hanging wall that
run as high rs ninety per cent IN cop
per, but this Is not the vein they
were driving for and the tunnel will
be continued until the vein exposed
on the surface is tapped.

Lieutenant Reynolds in Charge of the Life
Savers on Lake Michigan, Comes for
His Annual Visit.

Lieutenant w. w. Reynolds, inspec-
tor of the life savers on Lake Michi-
gan, made his annual visit of inspec-
ton to Kenosha today, and on account
of this visit the life saving crew is IN
high glee.
During his stay in this city the
lieutenant stated that the government
was considering plans for the building
of a new station in Kenosha. AS yet
the plans have not been definitely de-
cided upon, and it is possible that the
old station may be repaired so as to
make it fit for another years service,
but the new station will be built next
year 1t the latest.
It is stated that the plans provide
for a perfect home for the life savers,
and the new building will be erected at
a cost of about eight thousand dollars.
The present station is we'll equipped
with modern appliances for life saw
ing, but when the new station is built

It is possible that the site of the sta
ton may be changed, but the present
d
people and an effort will be made to
have the new station built on the pres
ent site.
In connection with the visit of the
inspector the crew of the Kenosha sta
ton were on dress parade today. All
the drills were gone through and the
boats were taken out. On account of
the cold weather the crew did not at
tempt the spectacular drill of capsizing
the life boat. ---~---
In speaking of the work of the crew,
the inspector was high in his praise of
the Kenosha men. He stated that the
crew in this city was one of the most
proficient on the north shore. The
equipment of the station was all found
to be in the very best condition and
the report of the inspector will un-
doubted1y place the Kenosha crew
among the leaders in the life saving
service.

The judge said that to one familiar
with the ways of Spanish royalty, as

was most impressive.
When a member of Spanish royalty
speaks to one of the people, the person
replies, but does not continue the con-

ita1 of this wonderfully powerful ma
ton; we see here your chief ruler, as
you call him, who is elected every four
years, he is the commander of the
army and navy of this mighty nation;
yet set by his side and we converse
as if we were brothers as do all the
rest of the company. never before
saw such a wonderful illustra ton of
the meaning of the expression, The
equality of all men before the law"
The judge added: ''It is a sublime
lesson which this republic teaches tc
the other nations of the earth"
Mr.. Cooper said that it was his I'M
preston that the Cubans would accept
the Plat amendment, or that they will
formulate clause in their constitu'
ton which will embody in substance
the amendments.

through the library at Washington
with three of the members of the com
mission, Capote, the president; DR.
