EXCURSION A SUCCESS,
Five Hundred and Thirty West Siders
Arrived in WalIa WaIIa Late
Last Night.

Five hundred and thirty people
mostly from the west, side, many of
them prominent in commercial and
political circles, arrived in the city
ON the Seattle-Tacoma excursion
train at 10 o'clock last night, and to-
day are getting acquainted with Wal
la Walla and her citizens. Incident
ally it might be said that the visitors
are enjoying every minute of their
stay in Walla Walla.
The daylight trip across the state
yesterday was especially delightful
and proved to be one Of the pleasing
features of the trip, though it was a
rather tired lot of excursionists that
tumbled off the train when it rolled
into the Main street depot.
The care of the visitors, however,
had been carefully mapped and it
was not long before every one had
been provided with a good hot sup
per and sleeping quarters This
morning saw some of the excursion
lists out bright and early, some intent
on hunting up acquaintance, others
visiting points of interest about the
city, while many went out to the race
track to look over the cattle and
watch the harness horses being work
ed out.
This evening Walla Walla business
men will meet with the visitors at
the Walla Walla club rooms. Most of
The excursionists will leave for home
tomorrow morning, although the tick
cts are good until Sunday evening.

Biq irrigation Project in
Lewiston Country.
OPEN UP 10000 ACRES OF LAND
Samuel Sweeney, Former WaIla Wal
Ian, Interested in Seeing Scheme
Go Through.

Samuel B. Sweeney, formerly OF
Walla Walla and manager Of the
Casters Washington Improvement
company, is in the city from Lewiston
attending to business matters and
visiting relatives. The company
which Mr.. Sweeney represents Is op-
Grating a chain of warehouses on the
Sweetwater, 10 miles from Lewiston
and farming a considerable area OF
land in the wheat belt adjacent to
Lewiston.
Mr.. Sweeney Is much interested In
seeing the Waha irrigation project
put through and stated this morning
that there is little doubt that the
scheme in its entirety will be sue
cessfully carried out. The project en-
tails the draining of lake Waha to
stop up subterranean leakages and the
about 45 feet. Enough water it is
estimated can be secured in this man
ner to reclaim some 10000 acres of
semi-arid land tributary to Lewiston.
The scene of operations is about %
miles from that city.
"The completion of the Waha pro-
ject will mean the opening up of a
vast body of land that is practically
worthless at present." he said, "and
will result in untold benefit to Lew
iston and the surrounding country.
The history of irrigation schemes in
Idaho is that land has been in
creased in value many fold as it has
in Charleston. Land that was worth
$50 an acre without water is now
changing hands at anywhere from
$500 to $1,000 an acre. Lake Waha is
a beautiful sheet of water in the
Craig mountains about % miles from
Lewiston. There are several subter-
ranean outlets that will have to be
stopped up and it will first be neces-
sary to drain of the water and patch
up the leaks. There is ample CAPT.
tel behind the scheme and undoubted-
ly will be successfully carried out"

FOUND ONE NUGGET
THAT WEIGHS $3.276.

A great gold nugget, valued at s3,- =
276, the largest ever found in Alaska
or the British Youkon, has been
taken from a Nome claim. It was
seven inches long by four and quar-
ter inches wide.
The beautiful specimen is the pro-
duct of bench claim, No. 8, of
Discovery on Anvil creek. II weighs
1872 ounces and was discovered Sep.
tember 8 by a miner in the employ Of
the Pioneer Mining company, which
has lay on the property. The
rich gold piece nestled In a gravel
bed covered with two feet Of glacial
ice and over the ice lay three feet of
muck. The ice and muck were re-
moved by ground sluicing.
The discoversr had started to use a
pick. Presently he let drive and the
point Of the pick imbedded itself In
the soft substance Of the nugget.
In withdrawing the pick he hauled
up the nugget. With single blow
he had unearthed small fortune,
though unlickily not for himself.
The find created a sensation In the
town Of Nome, where 1t was taken
and placed on exhibition. The claim
which produced the nugget Ia owned
by Cashier Cowden of the Alaska
Banking Safe Deposit company Of
Nome, aud several Of the clerks In
that institution.
Numerous valuable nuggets have
been found in Nome, Klondike and
other districts Of the north, but none
approaching this chunk Of native
gold, says the Seattle Post-Intel-
ligencer. The Anvil creek claims
and benches have been most prolific
Of such treasures. but their value
singly never equaled $1,000. Klon-
dyke produced one worth about
sllOO, and Atlin gave up a specimen
valued ut 5000.

Superintendent Joe Reed Of the

sinking for the bedrock. and states
that in all. probability, he will put

The shaft Is now down 242 feet
with indications that It has entered q

tion and and confguration, Mr.. Reed
states, lead to this belief. With a
keystone drill, the ground can be
thoroughly prospected, the pay gravel
located and II will then be known the
direction in which to drift from the
shaft. Superintendent Reed says in
