DRAINAGE TUNNEL.
Plan for Financing Great Cripple
Greek Project.

Colorado Springs. Colo--The plan
suggested by the finance committee OF
the Cripple Creek Mine Owners AS
sociation to finance the projected deep
drainage tunnel was unanimously
adopted at a meeting attended by
more than score of representative
operators in this city this afternoon.
Every mining company in Cripple
Creek will be asked to contract to pay
two per cent. cf its net mill and smell
ter returns into the tunnel fund. This
assessment viii be levied upon all ore
mined through the tunnel. but will
apply only upon production of compa-
nies after July /, 1907.
The contract provides that the sum
Of 100000 shall be raised by July !.
1906. work on the tunnel to begin
within sixty days after that amount
shall have been secured Since July |.
1907. is the time limit within which
the 100000 shall be raised. the tun.
mel will be started by September !,
1907, at the latest and as much sooner
as the amount named shall be raised.
company TO be known as the Grip
pie Creek Drainage and Tunnel Com
pany will be Incorporated in this state
with capitalization of 81 100000, di-
vided into 100000 shares of par
value of $40 each. This stock will be
offered to mine owners first, and what
ever shares are left will be placed on
the open market.
A committee of five will be ap-
pointed to submit the contracts to
mine owners and operators at once
and to offer stock for subscription. The
tunnel plan adopted ie that known as
the Window Rock" tunnel. which
will have its portal in Window Rock
gulch, in the Cripple Creek district.
The Portland Gold Mining Company,
the Golden Cycle company. and other
East Side mining companies which at
first expressed reluctance to join the
deep drainage proposition are now
friendly to the plan.

DIR. Powell is almost as celebrated as
Burfalo Bill. Together they secuted

DIR. Powell was the crack pistol shot

Dr. Powell was loved by the Indians,
who called him the white medicine

President for SINGLE statehooa.

Washington. - President Roosevelt
to-day informed a delegation of resi-
dents of Oklahoma that he would rec
ommend in his forthcoming message to
Congress single statehood for Okla
homa and the Indian Territory.
The delegation consisted of Delegate
Mcclure. Chairman Charles II. Filson
of the Republican territorial commit
tee. c. NJ. Cade. Republican national
committeeman. and Vernon w Whit
ing. They told the President they
hoped Congress would pass single
statehood measure in accordance
with his recommendation. They dis
cussed briefly the question of in
cooperating in the statehood meas
ure a stipulation for prohibition
of the liquor traffic, urging
that the question be left TO the deter
mination of the people. as with their
personal knowledge of the needs of the
Indians in the territory they would set
tie the question properly.
If the matter of separate statehood
for New Mexico and Arizona was dis
cussed the discussion was not given

OHIO DEMOCRATIC.
Elect Governor and Majority of Both
Houses

Columbus. O.-That John NJ Patti
son has been elected governor for the
next three years by a plurality run
ming well above 10000 is settled, as
also is the Democratic working ma
jority in both houses of the Legisla-
ture. but there is still some uncer-
tainty as to the remainder of the state
ticket.
The earlier returns were apparently
from Sections favorable to Governor
Herrick, for he held a lead over the
rest of his ticket until to-day, when
fuller returns from the country dis
tricts cut into the vote severely. and
by the middle of the afternoon he
seemed to be over 10000 votes behind
his ticket. If that difference stands,
the victory of these other officers will
depend on the size of Pattisons plu-
rality. with the chances in favor of the
choice of the entire Democratic list
Chairman Garber tonight figured
pluralities for Pattison that aggre.
gated close to $4,000, in which event
the entire Democratic ticket was safe.
The Republicans have given out no
later estimates since that concerning
the election of Pattison by 10000 plu-
rality, but later reports received at
headquarters indicate that a larger
figure is correct.
The state officers and legislators
chosen yesterday will serve three
years instead of two as heretofore,
the constitutional amendment for BIZ
'ennial elections providing that the
terms of officials elected at this time
shall expire January /, 1909, at which
time the state officers and Legislators
chosen in November. 1908, will as
sumo Office. The Legislature chosen in
1908 will choose a United States sena
tor in succession to Senator Foraker
For some time there was confusion on
this point. and it was widely but in
correctly asserted that the Legislature
just chosen would name Foraker's
successor.
Republican estimates tonight give
the Democrats two to five majority in
the next Senate and from ten to fifteen
in the House and these are probably
the minimum estimates. The Demo-
cratic claim is majority of five in
the Senate and twenty-seven in the
House.

STRUGGLE FOR MOROCCO.

When it is understood that Morocco

many views with alarm advances
made by France or any other nation
toward securing preferential rights
in the African sultanate, particularly
since me German emperor has made
il rather plain that ne intends to get
the bulk of the worlds trade II pos
sible. During recent years the Ger
man merchants have been reaching
out in every direction, giving special
attention to the Orient and Africa,
where they are formidable rivals Of
the English speaking countries.
The climate of the plains which
forms a large part of Morocco, is de-
lishttful and the soil unusually fertile,
producing all the cereals. fruits and
vegetables of the warm and temporal"
zones. The mountains contain marble
gold. silver, copper. tin. nickel, rock
salt and iron in great abundance and
of good quality, while forests are rich
in Oak, cedar of Lebanon, pine and
other valuable timbers. Cattle. camel5,
horses, and the goats from which the
famous Morocco leather is obtained
are numerous.
disagreement and antiquated trade
restrictions have prevented the devel-
opment of any trade industry except
that of leather. During recent years
outside nations have come to appre-
ciate the great commercial posslbill-
ties of the country and strong rivalry
has sprung up for pre-eminence in the
tempting field. A desire for greater
share in the trade rather than for
political supremacy in Morocco is
probably back Of the present trouble
between Germany and France. Ge"'
many evidently feared an attempt by
France to establish a French prOtec'
torate over Morocco to the exclusion
Of German trade. an intent which
France has EXPLICITLY disclaimed.

has now been agreed to, promises "a
