"Why, I'll bet you $500 I'll take the first

Each man put $500 in the hands of the

These declarations were supplemented
within twenty-four hours by the incorpo-
ration in New Jersey of the operating
company. This is preliminary to the in
corporation of the same company in the
state of New York, according to the terms
of the franchise under which the company
engaged in constructing the tunnel is
operating, and this fact is accepted in
:, many quarters as a proof that the con-
struction corporation regards the sue
cess of its plans as now assured.
Mr.. .McAdoo's reasons for believing that
the construction of the south tube will
proceed much more rapidly than the best
work of the last year on the north tube
are apparently well founded. The old
shield used by the company which failed
to drive the north tunnel to completion
has been used by the present company,
Notwithstanding the fact that a greatly
improved device has been created. This
prosecution Of the work with the old shield
is accounted for by the fact that, as it is
of somewhat larger diameter than the
tunnel tube, fitting over the outer end of

was rather difficult and dangerous to at
tempt the substitution of another at
point where there was compare lively lit
tie solid matter between the top of the
tube and the sixty-ive feet of water

In a part of the workings of the last
year the thickness of the silt river bed
above the top of the tube has not ex-
ceeded ten feet, and the construction of
new shield and the removal of the old
under such conditions would have been
perilous undertaking. When rock was en-

rock lies in ridges and valleys, in no case

elevation of the bottom of the south tube
to level two and half feet above that
of the north will materially lengthen. the

There are two or three varieties, one of

This pressure varies according to the
depth of the water to be kept back, the

pressure in three-hour shifts and only
two watches day. Only those sound of

stage of the undertaking, in flooding the

keep him awake all the time. The first
day the young fellow drove down the
streets OF Butte he was stopped by po-
liceman and asked to show his drivers

ing things in Butte. He had to pay for
permit but he didn't mind that. Then
when he pulled up in front of the Butte
hotel his dozen or more intimates were
there. They rushed him into the bar
room, telling him he was looking very
badly and that he must quit the job.

Young MacGinniss is as much of a
politician as he is a mining man. In 1900
he was elected to the Montana legisla-

a prominent candidate for the United
States senate and for sixty days stood
within nine votes of election for the short
term. To break the deadlock he and
Henry L. Frank effected compromise,
which resulted in the election of Paris

ponents, he says, sought to prolong the

legislature. This they all but succeeded
in doing, and would have done had not
MacGinniss taken desperate chance.
The opposing side was guarding the
clock to prevent the young fellow from
stopping it's hands. They succeeded in
doing this until just one minute before
midnight, which time had been set for
adjournment. MacGinniss picked up an
ink stand and hurled it at the face of
the clock 1t struck the mark and
stopped the hands, and as a result the
session was prolonged for three hours,
and the compromise was effected.
1t was MacGinniss who, in 1899, talked
before the legislature for five hours and
succeeded in defeating the fair trial.

has been repeatedly before the lawmak

week called the state legislature to meet

constitutional.
These things serve to show in measure
the activities of young John MacGinniss.
