 Council district and the solomon river sections, he says, are good. Mystery and Kasson creeks in the latter section are promising.
 Ophir creek is d big proposition and the Wild Goose Co., $ big l7-mile ditch is great enterprise. It is 400 feet above the creek and will furnish water for an extensive area of ground. Part of the ditch is expensive to build, being through solid rock The work is being done thoroughly. The canal is l6 feet wide at the top, 10 feet at the bottom, with an average of four feet in depth, but in some places where it runs through a hill it is D feet deep. Mir. Butler estimates that it will cost at least S5O0 GOO.
 Crooked creek, Mr. Butler also be- lieves is very rich creek from which a great deal of gold will yet be taken. Hundreds of cords of wood are being gotten out for work this winter and next summer.
 On Big Hurrah four claims have turned out we'll, and on the upper Sol omon a number of mines are proving paying properties.
 On Mystery creek, Council, F or l5 men will be employed this winter.
 Speaking generally, says Mir. Butler, this whole section is looking better than ever before. In fact it is just beginning to be developed in systematic and miner-like manner.

FUGITIVES BACK IN JAIL
GaynOr and Greene Remanded Indefinitely
to Await Developments.
HABEAS CORPUS FOR RETURN TO QUEBEC
Exciting scene t. Enacted in Corridor
of Hotel as Result of scheme
by Friends to Rescue
the Pair.

MONTREAL, May 19.-Judge La Fon-
tame this afternoon granted an indefinite
remand In the case Of Gaynor and Greene
and ordered them incarcerated in the Mon
treal jail in the meantime.
II Is now expected that efforts will be
renewed to have them returned to Quebec
on new writs Of habeas corpus.
When Messrs. Gaynor and Greene we're
brought before Judge La Fontaine today
Lawyer Tsschereau, representing Gaynor.
complained Of the manner In which the
police were acting in refusing to admit
their lawyers or anyone else to the rooms
Of the accused. He demanded that the men
be taken to Jail.
Donald McMaster, kings counsel, strongly
opposed such a change and openly accused
Mr.. Taschereau Of making this demand to
hide a plot to take the prisoners from the
Montreal authorities and back to Quebec.
He had been informed on reliable author
ity, he said, that two new writs Of habeas
corpus had been asked for and were issued
In Quebec on Saturday. These were to be
served on the jsiler Of the Montreal prison
as soon as the prisoners we're within the
jail walls and this would enable their
friends to take them back to Quebec.
Return Prisoners to Custody.
Judge La Fontaine returned the prisoners
to the custody Of the detectives who ar
rested them, pending his decision Of a
motion by Mr.. McMaster, that the Judge
remand the prisoners in the custody Of the
detectives until the kings counsel could
produce his witnesses. Mr.. McMaster re-
quested also that the issue Of the writs
Of habeas corpus should in no way inter-
fere with the remand.
The customs authorities at Quebec today
seized the tug Spray which had conveyed
Gaynor and Greene and the detectives to
Montreal on Thursday last, for illegally
carrying passengers.
NEW YORK, May ia Montreal dis
patch to the Herald says; There was an
exciting scene in the corridor OF the fifth
floor of the Windsor hotel when, for the
first time In Canada within the recollection
Of lawyers, a hotel was turned into a court
Of Justice on Sunday.
This event was followed by a determined
effort on the part of the friends Of John F.
Gaynor and Benjamin d. Greene to gain
forcible entrance to their rooms. Ten Of the
%stoutest officers OF the Montreal police force
stood guard over the prisoners, and when
Attorney Taschereau, the prisoners coun-
sci, tried to get through their line he
met with anything but polite treatment.
The clash came about over a rumor that
the prisoners friends had a plan to res
cue them. 1t was necessary to get the
prisoners out Of the hotel. and so Judge
LaFountalne was sent for and told that an
matter was to be argued. Fol-
by a dozen lawyers, the Judge went
to the corridor and within fifty feet Of the
rooms occupied by the prisoners he
opened court.
