TO RESUME OPERATIONS.
Government Getting Ready to Com
plete Wyoming Irrigation Work.

Washington. Aug. l3.-As soon as in
ventorics have been taken az the con-
tractors outfits seized by the geological
survey at Corbett tunnel and Shoshone
dam. on irrigation projects of North
ern Wyoming. consideration will be
given 10 plans of completing these
great contracts. The cause of the fail
ure Of Charles Speer at Corbett tunnel
and Prendergast and Clarkson at Sho-
shone dam to live up to the terms Of
their contracts is being Investigated
and may have some bearing on the
method of carrying on the work to
completion.
1t is regarded as likely that the geo
logical survey will continue the works
with the equipment and supplies seized
rather than to let new contract.
More than 900 is involved.

The boy retired, and Immediately
ushered into the study a tall, pale,
heavily mustached man, quietly attired
who bowed and seated himself in 81.
lence as the door closed behind him.
His pallor was accentuated by the
darkness of his hair and eyes. His
face was keen and hawk-like. and had
once been strikingly handsome. He
conveyed at second glance the i'm
preston of being still in early middle
life, but the clean-cut lines which ran
outwards and downwards from the
inner corners of his eyes, and in the
same direction from his nostrils ami
the corners of his mouth, spoke of
great and prolonged suffering, and
gave him premature look of age.
Every detail of dress and bearing was
warrant for breeding and refine
ment, and his manner was marked by
a certain dignity and repose which
were very curiously contradicted now
and then by an intent and listening
look which had something of ter.cr
in it. This vanished so quickly when
it came that it was difficult to analyze
