RESPECT FOR THE DEAn

St. Petersburg, Feb. 23.-General satisfaction is expressed even among liberals that the funeral day of Grand Duke Sergius passed off with no un- toward incident. Even the extreme radicals respected the day of grief of the imperial family. Police precau- tions both here and at Moscow, though extensive, apparently were not needed
 The public is discussing with astonishment the sweeping statement of the Metropolitan of Moscow attri- buting the guilt of the assassination to entire Russian society. Critics are say ing that if this be true, it justifies the contention of the reformers that all Russia is at odds with the political sys- tenn. The wisdom of such statements at this crisis is very generally ques- toned.

Ward of St. Louis, whose bid is $1,- 1S7,200 The last named firm however agrees to complete the work in seven teen months, which is five months less time than the O'Rourke Go. demands. The bids of course will be forwarded 10 Washington for final action and award and there are numerous things to consider before the award is finally made. There is a theory on the part of many that the second bid will be the one finally accepted by reason of the time feature.
 In the first place it is believed by many that it will be worth more than the S39.6OO difference in the bids, to have tho dam finished five months sooner. Another feature of the situa- ton is this: The specifications state that for each day over the contract time, required for the completion of the work, the government shall with hold S25O. It is contended by some that the work cannot be finished in seventeen months but will take the two years demanded by the lowest bidder. In the event the contract is awarded to Roderick & Go. and the full two years are required for construction, $52,500 would be deducted from the contract price which would make the amount paid to Roderick & Ward only $1.134, TOO, or nearly thirteen thousand dol lars less than the bid of the O'Rourke company.
 Each bidder presented his figures for the different classes of work re- quired in the construction of the dam, excavation, masonry construction of different kinds. concrete. etc, and eX- tended his figures to the totals, which will be found in the tabulated form accompanying this article That is, with one exception, that of R. H. Hood & Go, who bid on the various classes of work but made no total estimate, except that they would complete the enterprise in 21,O00 working days.

BIDS FOR ROOSEVELT DAM
Estimates Were Generally Lower
 Than Was Expected.

The offices of the reclamation ser vice here were crowded yesterday af- ternoon to witness the opening of bids for the construction of the Roosevelt dam which is to impound the waters of Upper Salt river for irrigation pur- poses. A number of the bidders had representatives present and the inter- est of others was being looked after by local residents, while stin others were present out of curiosity. The bids were for the largest enterprise either public or private, for which bids were ever opened in this city or probably will be for a long time to come.
 There were twenty-one bidders, one firm making two bids for the work and the people of the valley are to be congratulated on the fact that the bids averaged much lower than most well informed people fear ed they would. Roughly speaking it was the guess of the average citizen that the bids would for the most part be in the neighborhood of a million and a half dollars. Fourteen of them proved to be below that figure and six of them below a million and a quarter And that all the bidders were respon- sible there is no doubt. Anyhow each one of them brought along his little ten thousand dollar check as a guar antee of good faith.
 The lowest bidder was the firm of John NJ. O'Rourke & Co. of Galveston Texas. the bid being $1,147.6 600 and the time in which the firm agrees to com plete the work is two years. The next lowest bidder is that of Roderick & American Const. Co.,, Denver ..... Jno. M. O'RourlSe & Co, Galveston. Zaddick & Co. Chicago. o............... Geddis & Stone Co. Denver. .........

us that the bids calling for contracts on
work near this place will be advertised
for soon. As outlined they include the
construction OF approximately 200
miles of new main and lateral canals.
As stated before in these columns the
work will be confined To that part Of
the project lying west and south of
Fallon, a good part OF which will be
devoted to the building of laterals on
the Douglass ranch. AIf Taylor also
stated that water would be Aowing

MINING COMPANY
INCORPORATES

The Sand Springs Mining Company
has taken steps to incorporate. AT a
meeting OF the stockholders held Mon
day evening it was unanimously agreed
to adopt this departure and the amount
of stock was accordingly fixed at
81 10000. The papers have been
drawn up and are now in the hands OF
the secretary OF state for filing. Oi
the sum mentioned one-third. or 800
900 will be placed as treasury stock
while the balance will be issued inn
mediately to the incorporators.
In view of the promising aspect as
sumed by the group of claims owned
by the company quite demand for the
treasury stock has already evidenced
ITSELF and it is likely that little trouble
will be experienced in disposing of it.
1t is the plans OF the company to push
development work with rapidity, and
future plans include the installing OF Il
stamp mill and other machinery for
the working OF the ores, which are free
milling and show exceptional values.
The proximity OF the mine to this
place, and the promised railroad build
Ing are also factors that contribute
largely towards enhancing its value.

George Ernst Ranch Comprising One
Thousand Acres Sold.

One Of the most important real es-
tate transactions occurring i'll this
section in recent months is the sale ot
the George Ernst ranch on Old river,
to DR.. A. II. Heppner and c. H..
kraemer, the doctors brother-in law i,
the deal being completed Monday. This
property comprises one OF the finest
ranches i'll the state Of Nevada, and is
ideal in every respect. In all there are
1000 acres, 400 OF which are under Italia,
500 of the remainder being heavily
timbered while only 100 acres is raw
virgin soil.
1t is estimated that the growth of
timber will supply for all time 10 come
POO cords oi wood annually and when
the local market is considered, the
value OF this future is dsccrncd
The consideration for this fine piece
OF property is not stated, but ii is
understood to be commensurate with
its actual value ut the present time
Its former owner, George Ernst is one
of the leading citizens OF the county,
whose industry and thrift has been
responsible i'll no small degree for the
high state OF cultivation already at
tanned by the property Just sold. Tn
der his efforts it has been made one OF
the county's most valuable properties
His reason for selling was created 10y
the time demanded by his other prop
ty interests, and it is the purpose OF he
and his estimable wife to continue to
make this county their home.
Dr. lIeppner and c. II. kraemer,
the new owners OF the property are
planning to continue 10 improve the
ranch They have already taken
charge and with another season they
hope To witness many new innovations
under their efforts.

physicians, and enjoys a large prac-
tice, although his residence there has
been confined to the past two years.
lie does not contemplate removing To
this county for the present and states
that the management OF the ranch will
be under the supervision of Mr..
kraemer.
Both the doctor and Mr.. kraemer
are very optimistic as regards the
future of the Carson Sink section and
they consider themselves fortunate in
deed in having been able 10 secure SO
valuable Il piece Of property, which is
particularly susceptible to rapid ad-
vances in values as the development OF
the section occurs.
