is ADVERSE TO MISSOURI
DECISION RENDERED IN THE
ILLINOIS SEWAGE CASE.
Supreme Court of United States Is Of
the Unanimous Opinion That Mis-
souri, Has Not Proved Its Case.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The famous
case of the State of Missouri VS.. the
State of Illinois, involving the right
OF Chicago TO divert its sewage through
the drainage canal and the Illinois
river, was decided by the United States
supreme court Monday in favor of the
state of Illinois.
justice Holmes delivered the opin-
ion of the court, which was that Mis-
souri, did not prove its case. There was
no ~diSsenSiOn.
In this case Of the state of Missouri
and the city of st. Louis attempted
to close the Chicago drainage canal
so As to prevent Chicago from sending
its sewage down the Mississippi river
instead Of into Lake Michigan. its nat
ural drain.
For half a decade previous to the
opening of the canal Chicago had been
digging the big ditch. 1t started from
the headwaters of the Chicago river,
which empties into Lake Michigan,
connects the Chicago river with the
DesplaineS river, which empties into
the Illinois river and thence into the
Mississippi.
The work consisted in cutting through
the high ground which formed the sep
aratiOn between the watershed of the
axes and the watershed of the Missis-
sippi. 1t cost up to the time of the
opening of the canal 81, 00O, 900. The
plea constantly made by Chicago was
that the ditch was a ship canal, not a
sewage canal. and Chicago has been
working to make the ditch a true ship
canal by deepening it from Lockport to
Mississippi river.
Since the suit was first filed both
Chicago and st. Louis has been TAX

The latest argument in the case was
before the supreme court on jan
4 last by Atty-Gen. Hadley of
Missouri, and the final point made in
his argument vas that if one human
life had been sacrificed by diverting
Chicdgo's sewage into the Mississippi,
hen Missouri was entitled to a judg-
rent in her suit.

A Great Awakening.

A great awakening of interest in the
mineral wealth and mining wealth and
mining developmentsin Nevada is taking
place all over the country. The state
is overruu with many thousands of pros
pectors, who are scattering in all direc-
lions over its mineralized search
ing industriously and with an intelli-
gence sharpened by recent experiences
for new deposits. The discoveries of
apparently inexhaustible ore bodies
immensely rich in gold and silver, dur
ing the past few years, in localities
where their presence was before unsus-
pected, has thrown new light upon and
added greatly to the expert knowledge
of Nevada m~ineralogy. These discov-
cries have attracted to the Nevadan
fields hundreds of investors who are
eagerly purchasing available mining
properties and proceeding to systemat-
ically develop them with the best of as
surances of being amply rewarded for
their enterprise. Towns of consider
able Importance have sprung into exist
ence in what was only a barren and un-
inhabited wilderness from two TO four
years ago. Structures are being erected
in all of them composed of the most
durable materials, which demonstrates
conclusively the faith their owners cher
ish in the permanency of these new
camps. 1t is natural, therefore, that
confidence in stable properties in old
time mining camps should be revived.
Interest in all of them seems to have
become contagious. San Francisco
Chronicle.
