Minor, and ordered the clerk to sd. vcr,isc for bids for tho construction of the new structure. Tho estimated cost of the building is tl5,O00, and bids will be opened in the afternoon of Scptem. Der 2, at 9 o'clock.
 The building will Do located about thirty feet south of the court house, facing north. The front part of it will be 5i feet in width by 70 feet in depth, two stories high, while the spacious jail room will be go feet in depth by 43 feet in width, with 22- foot ceiling. The first floor of the two.story portion will be provided with four office rooms, one each for the sheriff, under.sherifr, jailor and deputy sherifrs, with frc.proof vault for the sheriff, and a corridor in the middle. The second story part will have six cell rooms and an exercise corridor. where insane persons, women and trustics will be confined. An iron stairway will lead to the second story from the corridor and the windows of the upper story and tho jail room will bo provided with bars built fast into the brick wall.
 The cell room will be absolutely fire proof, no wood being used except the roof and window frames. There will he twelve steel cells installed, six on either side, leaving 12.foot exercise corridor in the center. Each set of cells will be locked and controlled by n locking device operated on the out. side of the cells from the jailor's cor. rider, thus giving the jailor absolute control over the prisoners without cn- tcring the prisoners exercise corridor or any of the cells. The jailor can op- crate one or six of the doors at the same time, at his pleasure. The jail room has n capacity of thirty.six cells, which can be used to accommodate sev- enty.two prisoners, which leaves 4 foot corridor all around the room be. tween the cells and walls. It is not the intention of the board of super visors 10 i'll the room with cells at present, as the plan only contcmplatss the installation of twelve cells when the building is finished.
 The floors will be concrete and ce' ment and the foundation walls concrete blocked into stone on the outside. The walls of the superstructure will 'bc of red pressed brick, and will be IS inche, in thickness.

The cntir, building will be provided with modern plumbing and lit by electricity, tho electric wires to be laid in iron.armored conduits. The specifications call fol first class material and workmanship throughout, and the jail building, wher ready for occupancy, will be among the safest in the country.

by Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot OF
the Agricultural Department was very
coldly received.
At the climax OF his address DIR. Will
son declared that the transformation OF
the ranges into forest reserves from
which the sheep are excluded will put
Wyoming back 90 years and reduce her
wealth 30 per cent. He also discussed
the transportation question, saying
that the facilities Of the railroads
should be ample in view of the in'
creased Improvement within the past
year. The trouble. he suggested. is due
to lack of speed, rather than lack of cars
Mr.. Pinchot took the broad ground
that the sheepmen represent only q
small proportion Of the people of the
United States and that their interests
must give way if necessary to the wei.
fare Of the Nation. He expressed his
personal sympathy. but added:

mining case between the Montana
Mining Company and the st. Louis
Company. arising out Of dispute over
a 80 foot strip of rich mineral ground
connected with the Drum Lummon
gold and silver mine in Lewis and
Clark County. near Helena. Montana.
One cause of the controversy is the
much disputed question of the right tc
follow a vein when it leafs to other
ground than upon which the apex ID
located. Iu this case the apex Is
on ground owned by the st. Louis Com.
pany, but as it descends it crosses the
vertical side line of the Montana Com
pauy. The st. Louis Company, claim
ing the right to follow the vein, even
under the surface owned by its rival.
brought the suit. but the decision went
against it.
