BIG STRIKE NEAR THERMoPoLIS
One of Richest Gold and silver Finds
Ever Discovered IL
Reported.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., July SO.-(Special)-
A telephone message was received this
evening from Basin stating that Ted
williams, who was grubstaked by John
Luman of Paint Rock, recently made
rich strike of gold and copper on Copper
mountain near Thermopolis. Luman and
Williams were offered $4,000 for their prop
erty by local capitalists, which offer was
raised TO $4,000 by the representative of
an eastern syndicate who happened TO be
in this section in search OF mining prop
erty.
The discovery is said to be the richest
thing OF its kind ever uncovered in wyo-
ming and one OF the richest ever found in
the west The scene of the strike is about
$50 miles from the nearest railroad, but
with the completion OF the new Burlington
branch from Frannie to Thermopolis il
will be but a few miles away. Oficials Of
the Burlington who are now in the basin
inspecting the route OF the proposed line
are familiar with the district In which the
strike was made, and some Of them are
interested in mining property there and
also in the Kirwin district, west of Their
mopolis
Enough is known regarding the strike
on Copper mountain to justify the state
ment that a big camp will be established
there. for the ore is said to exist in great
quantity.

Some Favor KeepIng Dredre.

Aldermen Weaver, Gilbert and Younker-
man, the committee in charge of the work
on Indian creek, will recommend to the
city council that the dredge be not sold
but retained for the purpose of doing a
certain amount OF excavation each year.
The work of this year is practically com
pleted and several OF the aldermen have
expressed themselves as being In favor
OF selling the machine rather than keep
It laid up during the winter months.
According TO Alderman Weaver's figures
2A5OoO cubic yards of dirt have been dug out
OF the creek and the channel widened to
thirty feet at the top and 20 feet at the
bottom, with an average depth of sixteen
feet. at cost of $4,000. including the pur-
chase price OF the dredge which was s4,SOO
The records OF the city auditors ohice
show that the dredge has consumed up
wards OF $3.50 worth OF coal during the
eleven months it has been operated. The
city paid tAS a ton for soft coal under its
contract with Gilbert Brothers
The question of the disposition OF the
dredge may come up at the meeting OF
the city council today.

ACTION ON DRAINAGE DITCH
Pottawattamie and Harrison County
Boards Scheduled to Meet Today.
DAMAGES THE ONLY moTN PROBLEM
'Nor,.western Railroad Awarded Ten
Thousand Dollars by the APP
praisers and Demands Four
Times that Amount.

There seems to be little doubt that when
the boards OF supervisors of Pottawattamle
and Harrison counties meet together here
tomorrow, final action IN establishing the
Joint drainage district will be taken. The
only difficulty which the two boards ap-
pointed will have to contend with, Is the
matter of the amount Of damages to be
awarded. That this question will result IN
litigation appears to be inevitable as many
of those entitled to compensation have de-
clined to accept the award of the ap-
praisers
Since the last Joint session of the two
boards, when final action on the establish
ment Of the bitches was postponed on ac-
count of the discovery that number Of
interested parties had not been served with
the required notices, this defect has been
remedied. The Harrison county people
have been hard at work, and II is stated
that waivers have been secured from every
interested party on whom notice had been
neglected to be served These waivers will
be presented at the meeting tomorrow.
The question of damages. however, will
be a harder matter to dispose Of That
the appraisers were not over liberal in
the,r award, is the general opinion. The
Northwestern railroad, which will have
to construct three new bridges in the event
of the bitches being dug has already begun
BU't against the two boards to enjoin the
construction OF the bitches until It's matter
OF damages is settled The Northwestern
claims that II will be put to an expense
Of at least $4,000 in constructing It's three
new bridges but the appraisers considered
that $4,000 would be sufficient. When the
bitches were first proposed the appraisers
at that time awarded the railroad some
thing over $4,000 but the whole thing fell
through and the proceedings 10 establish
the drainage district were begun anew.
omcials of the Northwestern state the
railroad will never consent to the $4,000
award. Thomas Tostevin, county surveyor
of Pottawattamie county, who made the sur
vey on behalf Of his county Of the proposed
bitches is OF the opinion that the appraisers
take a wrong view of the matter as to the
damages to which the Northwestern is
entitled. He says that the Northwestern
is entitled to the full amount which II
asks and which is no more than the actual
cost Of the bridges 1t will be required to
construct. .....
After taking final action in establishing
the joint bitches. the two boards will have
to advertise for bids for their construction
and this will require at least thirty days,
30 It is not likely that even under the most
favorable circumstances, work can be COM
menced this year. 1t is hoped, however,
that everything can be got in proper shape
90 that the work of construction may be
commenced next spring, unless the hands
of the two boards are tied up by Injunction
suits, which Is not altogether unlllxly as
there are a number of interested parties
who from the first have been strongly op-
posed to the proposed ditches

LEFFER rs
SEARCHING FOR CRAFT
Secretary Wilson Will Probe Every Bureau
of His Department
WORK HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIM
Number of Employees Have Been
Quietly Dropped from Rolls
President Has CONF
dence in Wilson.

OYSTER BAY, N. ", July 3O.-Secretary
Wilson Of the Department of Agriculture
is expected at Sycamore Hill tomorrow.
His visit will enable him and the president
to discuss the situation in the department
as It relates to the investigation now in
progress. All rumors of the intention of
Secretary Wilson to resign from the cabinet
may be put aside as merely conjectural.
The secretary has no present intention of
leaving the cabinet and the president knows
of no reason why he should resign. The
president, 1t may be said, reposes implicit
confidence in Secretary Wilson and is thor
oughly satisfied that he will solve the
difficulties now presented to the entire
satisfaction of the chief executive and of
the country.
1t is probable that Secretary Wilson
would have come to Oyster Bay before this
had it not been for the unsettled condition
of his department. which rendered 1t prac-
tically impossible for him to leave Wash
ington. He is pressing every phase of the
Investigations now in progress and will de-
velop every fact which the country ought
to know. That the president Is confident
the secretary will purge the department of
any scandal that may attach to IL is evil
denced by the fact that he has not inter
fered with the pending Investigations. All
the matters brought to his attention have
been turned over to Secretary Wilson with
instructions to inquire into them. This the
secretary has done and his work has the
approval Of the president,
It is the determination Of both the presi-
dent and Secretary Wilson to clear the
Department of Agriculture Of every form
OF graft" To this end the likelihood is
that every bureau Of the department will
be inquired into carefully with view to
ascertaining whether any such condition
exists as was developed in the bureau Of
statistics. Quietly, but effectively. Secre-
tary Wilson has been working to this end
for many months. Many employees of the
department have been dropped from the
rolls, practically without the knowledge
of the general public Some have been
dismissed outright while others have been
permitted to resign. Assurance is given
that no stone will be left unturned to
eliminate every taint of scandal in the De-
partment of Agriculture.

longed to Harry Lentz. He gave a chattel

horse to W. r. clifford. year later Gif-
ford traded It to Carl Tennis. Within a
year Tennis sold the animal to e. Brown.
Brown disposed of 1t to B. Olson. saund-
ers decided to foreclose his mortgage and
went out in search of the horse He found
II after much Lifficulty in the possession of
Olson and tool, II into custody. Olson sued
Brown for Sl22 Brown in turn proceeded
to get satisfaction out of Tennis and to
avoid trouble Tennis settled the Judgment
for s1S3. But Tennis turned around and
hauled Clifford into justice court, securing
a judgment for S55 against him. However,
this left him still minus SIS on the deal,
and now he demands in the district court
that the judgment be raised to $l3S Each
contestants attorney declares he will take
the matter to the supreme court IL he should
be beaten. The actual value of the much
traded horse is declared to be about $50
and already the court costs have run up
into the hundreds OF dollars; and the end
