POWERCOMPAN.Y,SPLAN
TO CONNECT WITH AeTERNMENT
DAM AT GREAT FALLS
Grant Of Permission Recommended,
With Certain Stipulations for Safe
guarding Public Interests.

The Great Falls Power Company has APP
piled to the Secretary Of War for permits
sion to join the dam that company pro-
poses to construct across the Potomac
river at Great Falls to the government
dam at Great Falls at a point near the
Maryland shore Tho company says that
it Is ready to begin work at an early date.
The application was referred to the engi-
neer department and was given thorough
consideration by General Gillespie, chief
of engineers. and by Colonel Miller, the
engineer officer in charge of the District
water supply system, both of whom made
a personal inspection of the site of the
proposed dam and examined the plans Tor
it's execution.
AS a result General Gillespie has returned
the papers to the Secretary of War with
recommendation that the application be
granted with certain stipulations designed
to safeguard the interests of the govern
ment. to the end that nothing shall be done
which will possibly tend to restrict or IN
terfere with the water supply OF the DIS
trict.
The water service at Great Falls has been
a matter of litigation between the owners
of the adjacent property and the Uniteo
States from the year 1853, when the gov
eminent took possession, down TO lSo@,
when the various questions IN dispute we" t.l {
Great Falls Power Company. which had
succeeded to all the rights of the original
owners, the sum of $4,000 in addition to
payment of $4,000 previously made to the
same company.
All Claims Quieted.
By these payments the government quiet
ed all claims for past damage on account
of the diversion of the water from the Po-
tomac to the Washington aqueduct, and
acqu red the right to take not only 10000
gallons, the amount of water daily deliver
ed by the present aqueduct, but also the
privilege of increasing that quantity by
70, coo, 900 more gallons in case the demands
of the city should require the additional
supply.
When Secretary Root compromised the
claims of the Great Falls Power Comp any
against the United States in the manner
ind Gated last year it was done with G,e
understanding that the POWER company pro-
posed to develop the water power at Great
Falls for industrial purposes, and for that
purpose would in due time make application
for permission to join dam of its own
construction from a point of the Virg: MIA
shore to the exist ng dam of the COVER n
ment at a po.nt near the Maryland shore
1t is expected that Sect etary Root will act
in the matter in few days.

LoD BUFFALO WILL
SOON Be STARTED UP

N. Berkeley, Of Pendletop. came
back yesterday from the Buffalo
mine, in the Magnolia district. MIR.
Berkeley has had bond on this
property for the past month and Is
making arrangements for its
operation. He has not fully
decided whether he will start this
fall, or wait till spring, but rather
thinks he will pursue the latter
course, In view Of the approaching bad
weather.
The Buffalo has been idle for the
past two, or three years, owing to the
death of Mr.. Cox, one of the main
owners. 1t is an old patented prop.
erty, however, having produced we'll
In the past. During its early operation,
before the advent of railroads, the
ore was packed to Umatilla aud
shipped to San Francisco for treat
mnet. 1t is Mr.. Berkley's plan to
open up the mine on Il big scale.

LEDGE GROSSCUT

Mill SS to $40.

Charles Thomas, the Fairbanks
Morse man, aud incidentally the min
ing man, returned today from II trip

Extension, the latter of which he Is
inerested In. The Miner printed a
story a short time ago regarding the

the general work going on there.
Since Mr.. Thomas last visit the
ledge has been crosscut showing Il
width of forty feet, with twenty feet
of milling ore which will average

extremely good showing being made
at the property.

Average Samples From
Lower Drift Go 5000
=
And $5O.I6.

Exceptionally good assays were
received yesterday from the Cracker
Summit. They were from two
average samples taken from the
lower drift, now in over 600 feet. and
showed respectively $40. 90 and $780,
l6. This was very much better than
was anticipated from ore at this
point, since it Is not where the
better values were thought to occur.
The values, however, have been in
creasing right along with continuance
of the drift. Much higher
than these are expected when the
richer zone Is encountered.
The force which has been sinking
at the blowout near the end lines
of the property was recently pulled
off and work Is now being concentrated
on the drift. The way things are
looking now the Cracker Summit
will soon drop into the producing
class.
The mine Is we'll located, as far as
proximity to big dividend payers Is
concerned. 1t adjoins the North
Pole, Columbia. L. and +. and Tabor
Fraction, among the we'll known
Cracker creek producers.
