arrived this morning on his way to
his new post at Bogota- He said con-
ditions on the isthmus present many
difficulties. The administrative prob

alarming condition is the report of
five cases of yellow fever at Colon.
II do not believe In deceiving the
public in these matters. II is far bet
ter that the truth be known. believe
the sanitary and health problems will
be successfully solved, but they far

BoOTLESS BURGLARY.
Offenders Left Written and Politely
Phrased Request.

A very unique robbery occurred last
night at the Lyman Bros. butcher
shop on Court street. When the pro-
prietors opened their shop this morn
ing they found a note upon their
counter, written upon a sheet of letter
paper. 1t read: please leave some
change, hereafter"
An inspection of the room soon
showed that the shop had been visited
by a burglar during the night,
though nothing was found missing.
The drawer of the cash register had
been left slightly open and with no
money in it, which fact is presumed
to have prompted the request made
by the robber. Entrance to the shop
was made through a screen window
on one side of the building, and ap-
parently the burglar had first tried
to enter through the front door. as the
screen at that place had been torn
aside.

MINING OLD RIVER BED.
PaSeuc River Being Turned Away to
Uncovcs. Rich Santis.

Tue work of Siuicmg the gravel in
the two miles OF old river beai recent
ly reclGimed by the Golden Treasure
Mining company. by the completion
of the great OK Bow tunnel has begun.
J.. a. Coate the general manager of
the company, had n report from Ok
Bow yesterday to the effect that work
had only begun. but that the gravel
prOspected very rich In the yellow
metal, says the Boise Capital News.
The water was turned from the
river bed, Mr.. Coate said. the first of
the week, when he was there. and 1t
is great sight. The entire body of
the Payette river is turned by the dam
recently finished, through the tunnel
cut in the solid granite. The bore in
the rock is 10x20 feet. This is rum
ming about two-thirds full, and the
water making roar that can be
heard for miles goes dashing through
the tunnel. and in a fall of so feet II
shoots out almost entirely across the
river, where IT seeks its old channel
at the lower end OF the tunnel.
1t is at this point that 10000
horse power can be generated without
building any canal or suffering the
slightest trouble from mush ice. An
ice cake would be drawn through with
such force that it would be reduced
to the smallest particles.
Although the dam shuts out the
flow OF the river entirely at the mouth
Of the tunnel, Mr.. Coate said, on ac-
count of springs in the bottom of the
river quite a stream was soon formed.
He thought fully 500 inches was flow
ing In the old bed and most of II is
from hot springs. They have enough
cold water to temper it so 1t will be
used for sinking purposes, and in win
ter will be quite convenient.
A telephone line from Ok Bow to
Placerville, a distance of 30 miles, will
be built at once to connect with the
Bell and Independent long distance
lines.
