Completion of Behring'S Under Hudson
River-One of Greatest of Engineer
Ing Feats.
After half a century Of speculation
on the practicability Of tunneling the
Hudson river from New Jersey to the
Island Of Manhattan, it is now posi-
BILE to walk dry-shod from Jersey to
New York. The twin bores have been
completed; that is, they have been cut
through and cased in, though of course
some finishing touches are yet to be
put upon them. 1t was a few days
ago that in the presence of the engi-
neers, the directors and a dozen re-
porters, w. G. Oakman, president of
the Hudson Companies, split an old
brick bulkhead with a hydraulic jack
and completed the first Manhattan
Jersey tunnel system. There was a
six-inch gap in the wall. A gang Of
ground hogs" rammed the breach a
little WIDER and the party crawled
through into New York city.
The old wall that was cut through
was seven feet thick. 1t is the relic
OF a former failure to tunnel the
Hudson. Twenty-three years ago the
engineers of the old Hudson Company,
after cutting considerable distance
under the river, abandoned the enter
prise and walled in the unfinished
work with this brick bulkhead.
Two tube-tunnels run parallel be-
meath the Hudson river, the work of
boring them being done under direc-
ton of the New York and New Jer-
sey Railroad Company, but this COM
pany entrusted the actual performance
Of the work to the Hudson Companies.
The present tube has been two
years in the course of construction.
Tho tubes will cost when completed
about $13,000,000, and the entire work
will cost about $30,O00,000.
Fifteen Feet in Diameter.
The tubes are $500 feet long, 15A
feet in diameter and are intended for
one track each, with a sidewalk for
workmen. Two tubes have been start
ed on the New Jersey shore, to run
under the river to Cortlandt and
Church streets. These tubes will be
completed will connect on the New
Jersey shore with the Pennsylvania
and the Lackawanna terminals. In
Manhattan one branch will connect
with the subway under Fourth ave-
nue. at Astor Place. Another branch
will run to Sixth avenue and Thirty
third street. A trip through the entire
length of the tunnel from the subway
TO Hoboken will cost only five cents.
About six hundred men have been en-
ployed in the tunnels.
Cars will be running through these
tube-tunnelS in eighteen months. The
safety of transportation in the tunnel
needs no demonstration, for trains will
run in a steel tube the strength of
which to resist pressure has been care
fully worked out. Being laid from
fifteen to fifty feet below the river
bed, 1t cannot be affected by the &C
ton of tidewater. The tube is a steel
lined hole in the earth, and except for

When President Roosevelt came In

irrigation a question of growing popu-
larity. He recommended its consider
alton by Congress. A national irri-

nized the basic fraud of land laws
and the menace which they afforded
to the homemaking irrigation law

miscellaneous mining stocks which

in the past did not always enjoy the

who have said they would have none

Judged flyers The industry is now
surrounding itself with factors that
are making it well recognized branch
of the industrial development Of the
country. This evolution, so to speak,
from 'wild-catting' to respectful con.
sideration has not been the result of
any particular reform instituted by
any man or group of men, but it is
largely due to the calmer discrimina-

The hopes for resurrection of the
mining industry in the Blosberg dis
trlct-so long and justly famed for it's
placer gold prOductiOn-is conferred in
the present development of mineral
ground on the Blue Bell group near
the station of Blosberg, some 20 miles
west of Helena on the main line of
the Northern Pacific railway. Some
twenty months ago the owners,
Messrs. Larson & Gatewood, gave a
contract to oliver Whitmire to tap the
lead by tunnel, said lead having
strong surface showings. It was ex-
pected that a 300-foot tunnel would
tap the lead at depth of some 1870
feet, but up to date the tunnel is some
700 feet in. and just entering the foot

in iron pyrites with copper, gold and
silver values. This has always been
a popular property owing to the fact
that the, late Marcus DAILY held it for
some ti11e by purchasing bond-his
experts advising him that it was
meritorious property, but for some un-
known cause the bond was allowed
to lapse. That Mr.. Whitmire is soon
to reap the reward for his persevear-
ance and industry in proving what 9TH
ers failed to prove, is an example of
what always calls forth admiration
with the mining fraternity.

A assure vein or true vein is a vein
in which the ore and veinstone occupy
a pre-existing fissure or crack in the
rocks, which has been formed by some
deep-seated cause or crust movement

THAT STOLEN HORSE
Additional Information Concerning
the Stealing OF the White
Lake Pacing Horse.

White Lake Wave The pacing horse
stolen from Adam Floss on Thursday
night of laast week was found at the
Plotner. livery barn in Mitchell on
Saturday, where it was taken by a
Mr.. Bailey, s%tock-buyer of that city,
to exhibit as one Of the very rich
prizes that he had gotten almost for a
song. The horse was recognized as
the property of MIR. Foss by DIR.
Smith, deputy state veterinarian,
who had seen it on several of bis
periodical visits here. He also knew
that the animal had been stolen, for
posted in the Plotner barn was a
notice of the theft, with the reward
offered. But Smith let the reward
slip away from him. When he learn
ed the fact from Smith, plotner tele-
pboned to Mr.. Foss, who, in com
pany with w. FL. Woodward. at once
drove to Mitchell with a livery team,
secured the horse and the party who
had taken him to that place. Mr..
Floss brought the horse back as far
as Plankinton on Sunday, but the
animal was so badly used up by his
jaunt that he could get no further
and he was left there until Tuesday.
The young man who is accused OF
stealing the horse is about % years OF
age, by the name Of Charles Alex.
ander, and has been in MIR. Bailey's
employ for the past four years, and
has always borne a good reputation.
He was sent by Bailey up into Potter
county to buy horses, where he pur.
chased three, or says he did, and
started back to Mitchell by way OF
White Lake. Then, according to the
story that he tells, he camped owe
Wednesday night not far from Grow
Lake with a stranger who banterec
! him for a trade, Offering to give
three horses in exchange for two, but
one of the three, so the stranger rep.
resented, was at his brothers, some
distance south of White Lake. The
two drove to this place early Thurs
day, young Alexander remaining al
day and the other party driving oul
of town. He saw nothing more Of
him until after dark, when h,
turned the Foss horse over to AleXan
der and each went his way. This il
in short, the story that the youns
man tells and us it is a case il
which the burden of proof falls or
the accused, we trust that if limo
cent he may be able to establish i
i'm court.
