Public Men to Be Heard.

Saginaw, Mich, June 17.-Capital-
lists and financiers, many of whom
have millions at their command, made
up the audience this morning at the
opening of the annual state meeting
of the Michigan Bankers association.
Though devoted almost entirely to
routine business the morning session
was not without interest. After vel.
coming addresses had been delivered
and responded to the convention lis
tened to the annual address of the
president of the association and the
reports of the other officers.
Much interest is manifested bv the
members in the convention banquet to
be held tonight, at which addresses
are to be delivered by a number of
men of note, an ong them Senator ].

vent caving and then the timbers
were removed a few feet at a time
and the hole lined with an eight inch
coat of concrete which reduced it to
the uniform diameter.
Work through clay does not prog
ress with more ease and speed and
less cost than through solid rock, and
Mr. Harper states that the fact that
the tunnel passed through 200 feet of
clay made the project cost So 800 more
than it would have cost had the en-
tire tunnel been through rock. After
leaving the clay the work was mostly
open through the remaining 600 feet,
but was through solid rock.
At the close of the work the tunnel
was connected with the Indians
ditch which was reconstructed and put
on TO a true grade, it being in many
ways defective as it was first con-
structed hundreds of years ago. The
entire work cost the government
about S,4OO, of which rs per cent was
expended on the tunnel.
The new tunnel makes the waters of
the Rio Grande accessible at all stages.
About 1000 acres of fertile land
are watered and irrigated through the
tunnel and ditch. The tunnel, which
| is about three miles above the Cochiti
pueblo, will serve the purpose for
which it has been constructed for the
next thousand years, Mr.. Harper
states, and will be used this summer,
though a few finishing touches are
necessary to put it in perfect condi-
tion and this work will be done when
the waters of the Rio Grande, which
are now verw high, recede.
About forty or fifty men have been
employed constantly on the work since
last December. The work was done
| by Indians who at the beginning were
thoroughly unskilled and unacquaint-
ed with the use of dynamite. How
| ever, thousands of blasts have been
| fired and not a single accident has
| occurred through the explosions or
| through the falling of treacherous
| roofs.
The tunnel is quarter of mile in
| length, while the old ditch that was
| reconstructed is two and a half miles
long,

INDIAN BOYS OFF.
SUPERVISOR WRlGHT'S ADVICE.

A. j. Sampson, the wide awake agent
of the Beet Sugar company at Rocky
Ford, Colo, is in the city after help.
Last evening the station was the
scene of much activity; that is, there
was large lot of Indian activity. Fif-
ty-four Indian boys, who are being edu-
Gated here by Uncle Sam, were around
the depot anxious for the train to pull
out for Rocky Ford, where they are to
spend the summer months in the sugar
beet fields and in and around the beet
factory. There were all kinds Of look.

going to earn Is cents an hour for all
the work they do.
Supervisor Wright was at the sta

told them to stick to their work and to
be good boys, and not to drink or gam.
ble. If they heed Mr.. Wright's ad.
vice they will return next fall to school
with some $50 to their credit. The In,
dian boys who went last night are
from nearly all the pueblos in the
southwest and they have the advan.
tage of a year in the school here where
industry is taught Some of the Indian
boys who have been sent to Rocky
Ford have not given satisfaction, as
they have quit after a couple of weeks
work, for it is distasteful to some OF
them to work all the time.
Mr.. Sampson will go TO FL Paso in a
day or so, where he intends to get
more beet help. He says that beet
growers have a hard time in keeping
enough help on hand.

With each recurring year more and
more fuss" is made over the ami

The New Mexican says that John
B. Harper of Durango, Colorado, sup
erintendent of irrigation for the Pu-
eblo Indians, was in Santa Fe yester-
day from the Cochiti pueblo, where
he has about completed the construc-
tion of tunnel through high bluff
for the purpose of tapping the waters
of the Rio Grande to irrigate the
lands of the pueblo. The bluff in
question comes to an end at the be-
ginning of the Indians farm land and
they have had an irrigating ditch at
that point for a great many years,
bue were unable TO get water at only
its higher stages. The ditch could not
be made to cut into the river at a
higher stage because of the bluff,
which is parallel with the stream, in
many places projecting over the wa
ters of the river, About a quarter of
a mile above the end of the lower end
of the bluff the work on a tunnel was
commenced last September. The tun-
mel runs 100 feet back from the stream
and parallel with the channel of the
river. 1t is circular in shape, six feet
in diameter, and for the last $40 feet
is through solid rock. This was blast

laminated clay was encountered. This
clay ranks with quick sand for danger
and difficulty in this kind of work.
Through the clay the circle was made
larger. 1t was first timbered to pre-
