a Crank Idea That Worked.
.:That was three years age. 4 had no
idea that my belief, expressed at that
time, would result in any enterprise that
might be of economical use to the town Of
Boise. It was then called Boise City, and
had about $500 Inhabitants.
when they heard Of my assertion sew
eral prominent members Of the community
called me dreamer and a crank from
the east'-they said that getting hot water
from borings out in q blizzard town was
nonsense.
"Well, the gentlemen we're privileged to
think what they pleased about me. I
wasn't selling ideas. My sole object was
the obtaining Of scientific data.
| "Of course, it's pleasant now to be look
ling forward to a public reception as a
token Of appreciation Of that crank idea
| Of an easterner.''
There are about dozen holes under
Boise to-day, the deepest being less than
| 2, 900 feet. They were sunk with chuck
drills, such as are used In boring for oil
1 or natural gas. They measure from twelve
inches to fifteen in diameter at the top,
and grade down to six inches
Water at 100 degrees was found at 1000

CHICAGO SUBWAY
VAST UNDERGROUND SCHEME
Will Transfer all Freight Under the
Streets-starts with Fifty MIL
lions Of CAPITAL.

Chicago, Nov 22.-Thc Chicago Sub
way company, with capital stock of
5O,OooOO0, and composed of men who
represent ninety per cent. OF the rail-
roads having Chicago terminals. was
organized to-day and took over the
$50 100000 capital here which has
built fifteen miles of freight tunnels
under the city streets.
The vast tonnage of the railroads
represented by the tinanciers in the
new corporation will be converted into
the company's tunnels, which are al
ready under every street of the busi-
ness district.
Apparently in connection with the
mammoth deal, Sir Ernest Cassell,
financial adviser of the King of Eng.
land, was in Chicago today with ia
com Schiff, head of the international
banking house of Kuhn. Loeb q Co,
which is heavily interested.
Men who will enter the directory
OF the new corporation are Edward II.
Hartman, the principal factor in the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific;
James Stillman, president Of the Ma
tional City Bank of New York and a
factor in the control of large num-
Der of great eastern and western rail
ways, notably the Chicago G. North
western and the Chicago. Milwaukee
& ST. Paul; Jacob Schiff, a member
of the Wall street firm of Kuhn, Loeb
& Co., and big factor in the Penn
sylvania system.
The deal is declared to,mean the i'm
mediate diversion of traffic and freight
from the streets to the tunnels; the
transferring of all newspapers for out
of-town circulation to the early trains
through the tunnels; for transferring
of mail between the main postotIice
and the railroad stations and between
the stations; it provides means for
the transportation of freight and of
handling it expeditiously without com
pelling the railroads to absorb high
priced property in the center of the
city for freight purposes, and freight
yards can be moved out ten or fifteen
miles and the freight transferred. The
trains will run into the passenger sta
tions with electric locomotives and
do away with over eighty per cent. of
all smoke in the heart of the city.
