1is, the fact that the California Ra-
dunn Gold Mining Company no longer
claims that rsdium is found in its ore.
m was led originally TO believe that
such was the case by the report Of a
chemist who had been experimenting
,,ftb the ore and who exhibited what

oninions Of Sir William Ramsay, Pro-
fessor FakIe. Professor Lewis and other
eminent authorities to the contrary the
company is unwilling TO assume the
risk OF misleading prospective inNes-

found in California. he is not prepared

throughout the state, asking that sam
niles Of ore showing possible indications
81 the presence Of rsdium be forwarded

be found in California, says Mr. Au-

duced

Plattsburx In Peril.

PLATTSBURG, N. Y, March 2o- Ice gorges and floods are causing con- siderable damage in this county. Iron bridges at Woods Mills and at Cady- vile were carried away and many rods of sidewalk and fences were torn up and smashed by the ice. Dynamite was used in attempts to break the ice jams in this city, but with very little success, and men are still at work. At Champlain an ice gorge caused the highest water in eighteen years. The Chazy river rose ten feet there in as many minutes flooding all the stores, hotels and many residences.

RECORD SNOW TIEUP
Northern Pacific Trains Block
 aded For Four Days.
WAS EIGHTEEN FEET DEEP IN CUTS
Six Transcontinental Trains Starr Together, Being the First From Pacific Coast For Nearly
 Ninety Hours.

Ninety Hours.
 ST PAUL, Minn., March 29.-Ths Northern Pacific expects soon to reach St. Paul with the first of the delayed transcontinental trains. These will be the first trains from Portland, Ore., fol four days.
 The blockade, which has existed for four days in North Dakota and Mon tana, was lifted early when a message saying that the line had been cleared was received in St. Paul. Subsequent ly other messages were received from points along the line in the storm dis trict saying that trains would be start. ed. "v* >. This closes one of the most remarka- ble snow blockades of recent years.
 Coming at the close of March, when other portions of the country are well advanced toward spring, the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Soo lines were tied up as tightly as they could have been in January. One remark able feature of the blockade was that a comparatively meager amount On snow caused the trouble. But. as railway official said, this snow for fifty
 
 cuts and refused to go farther As result the cuts were in some cases filled to depth of eighteen feet, while the surrounding country in spots would be almost bare.
 Six transcontinental trains, which had been blocked in the snow district, were ready to start at sunup. These trains being only partially filled were consolidated into three trains, the first of which is due about midnight, the others an hour or two later These are the first trains to arrive from the Pacific coast since last Friday morn ing. leaving an interval of nearly nine ty hours between trains.

 DETROIT, Mich, March 29. = En- courag ging reports from Lansing, Bat tie Creek, Flint, Kalamazoo and other towns where flood damages have been estimated up in the hundreds of thou sands of dollars show that the dan ger and distress are largely centralized in the Saginaw valley and around Grand Rapids in the valley of the Grand river, and at Grand Rapids, too, marked improvement is noted. At Saginaw, however, the Shiawassee, Cass, Flint, Tittibawassee. Chippewa and other feeders of the Saginaw riv- CT are bringing down torrents of wa ter, the escape of which into Saginaw bay is blocked by ice gorges at and below Bay City. At Grand Rapids it is estimated that 14,OOO people are in distress, and at Saginaw a large por- ton of the business section of the city is flooded
 Twelve Hundred Families Homeless.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 29.- Northern and central Indiana have probably seen the worst of the flood and are now repairing the damage. Cities and towns at the headwaters of the Wabash and the White rivers have only slime and mud left by the reced ing flood to contend with but south western Indiana has yet to see the worst. The crest of the flood will reach the Ohio river in two days. The damage in Madison county will reach $2,225O00, and northern Indiana has suffered loss of $1,0O0,o00. In Indi- annapolis 1,200 families were driven from their homes.
