Outlook in Turret Camp.

The work which is being done now
in the development of the Turret
properties is of most important
character. says the Gunnison Gold
Belt. 1t not only is conducted with
view to immediate results but it is
also to be made the basis of continuous
and extensive work in the future.
''Gophering" in Turret seems to be a
thing of the past. Those who under.
take the development of our properties
are convinced that conditions will
warrant the outlay of the capital nee
essary to make mines and there is
little parleyirg or hesifating about
putting up Q necessary money.
The addition of mills to our treat-
ment will give great impetus 10

| MAY BLOW UP LEVEE
AT MOUND CITY, ARK.
Break at Trice's Landing May
Make Extreme Action Neces-
sary to Save Lives.

REPC BlslC SPECIAL.
Memphis, Tenn, March 17.-New reports
of the flood disaster and damage are pour
ing into the city almost hourly. Across the
Mississippi in Arkansas death is staring
several thousands of persons in the face
and the loss to live stock and other prop
erty will be enormous.
The damage by the break in the levee at
Trlce's Landing has exceeded the worst pre-
dictions. and from Marion. Ark. and other
points IN the territory flooded by this Gre
vase there are coming most urgent appeals
for rescue and assistance from persons who
have been caught in their homes by the
rush OF waters.
Marion is completely surrounded, and as
the Frisco Railroad was compelled to stop
all trains this morning they cannot look to
the railroad for relief.
The chain of levees along the Mississippi
River bank makes II out of the question for
steamboats, to get into the flooded country
to rescue those in danger, and the water
Is still rushing through the crevasse at
Trice's at such a rapid rate that to attempt
to stem the tide with craft of any de-
scription would be the height of folly.
that officials Of the St. Francis Levee
Board will blow up the levee tomorrow
morning with dynamite at Mound City.
for rescuirg crafts.
There is every indication that a critical
stage will be reached in the flooded coun-
try before morning. for the river here Is
rising steadily tonight.
The break in the levee created a tenn
porary fall. while the country thus laid
stage at midnight last night was 39.7 feet.
and it then began to fall and continued
until 1913 was reached this morning. At
this stage the water became stationary. and
rise soon set in. Tonight the gauge
shows 1876 feet, or one-tenth less than the
greatest yet recorded.
This indicates that the St. Francis basin
is practically filled with water and that the
stage of over forty feet predicted some days
ago for Memphis. is still most probable.

Dickinson of Henry thought the bill was
just and reasonable. Kinealy opposed the
bill as an unfair restriction which protected
no one and only served to limit the actvi-
ties of the trust companies. Dowell of
Lewis was against the bill. 1t is not
thought that the bill will pass the House,
as It is so late in the session.
