BOISE, Idaho, May 1o.-Several of
the more important witnesses sum-
moned in behalf Of the State in the
trial of William D. Haywood, for al
legged participation in the assassina-
tion Of former Governor Steunenberg,
arrived at Boise today. The prosecu-
tion had hoped by this time that a
trial jury would have been impauellcd,
but it is now evident that all twelve
seats in the jury box will not be salts
factoryily filed for several days. When
court adjourned Saturday afternoon
the attorneys for the prosecution and
defense were trying to eli a vacancy
caused by the exercise of the States
fifth peremptory challenge. The de-
Tense still has six of its ten arbitrary
challenges available, and the State, un-
der the new Idaho law, has FIVE more
challenges to its credit. Formerly the
prosecution was allowed only one-half
the number of peremptory challenges
granted the defense. The work of
jury selection will be taken up again

twentysix members of the special We,
nire of 100 remain, and there is wide
speculation as to whether or not the
trial panel Will be completed before the
talesmen are exhausted. If it is not,
there will be a delay Of several days
while Sheriff Shad Hodgin and his dep
uties arc rounding up new set of
men from the county.
Perhaps the most interesting of the
State witnesses who arrived today
was former Sheriff Angus Sutherland
of Shoshope county, 4 Scotchman by
birth, but pioneer OF the American
far west, Mr. Sutherland is quiet, un-
assuming, modest, typical of the steel

Special 10 The Tribune.

Special TO The Tribune.
WASHINGTON, May 1o,-The pic
turesque placer gold miner of the Klon-
dixie will soon be figure of history.
He is falling before the march Of cap
italistic progress, All through the vi
ciDity of Dawson the old placer miners,
with their fires for thawing and their
picks and shoyels, are found with diff
ficulty, and in their stead appear great
electrical dredges, owned by dredging
companies. One company alone, yer
liable trust in mining, has purchased
nearly all the placer ground on the
three principal creeks, the Bonanza. Ell
dorado and Hunker. The change in
the form of mining is attributed to
very ordinary business reasons. The
big dredges do the work cheaper, and
they can proftably work ground which
the old miners left untouched. Only
thirteen men are required 10 handle a
dredge which will excavate 5000 cubic
yards of earth IN twenty four hours,
approximately 500 per day. The in
PRODUCTION of dredges has had no I'M
mediate effect on the labor market, be
cause of the large amount of work 9th
er than mining which is now going on.
But ultimately the dredges will do
away with the necessity for much of
the labor which has heretofore been
employed, The effect of the installa-
tion of dredges is to drive farther from
Dawson those who still stick to placer
mining, The output of Klondike gold
has been rapidly diminishing since
1900. according to the records of the
gold commissioner at Dawson. The fig,
ures of gold production for eleven
years follows; 1896, 100000; 1897,

BOISE, Idaho, May 19.-It is
thought the extensive improvements
being made in the Oregon Short Line
yards here will be completed in about
two months. The new engine house
and the boiler building are rapidly
nearing completion, and when finished
will be as fine as can be found in this
section Of the country. The tracks
have been materially changed, $4,000
gallon water tank is being installed,
and the grounds around the passenger
depot have been greatly beautiied. A
vast sum of money is being expended
in these improvements.
Since the United States land Office
opened here in 1868, 10000 homestead
entries have been made through it,
counting the one made today by Henry
F. Claire of Cambridge. There have
been 2,717 desert entries made during
that time.
Boise is planning to have one Of the

GOVERNMENT WORK
BEING DONE CHEAPLY

Flat Reservation in Idaho
Illustrates Fact.

L
WASHINGTON, May 19.-The con.
struction of the Upper Deer Flat reser-
voir, of the Payette- Boise irrigation
project, Idaho, by force account, af-
fords an illustration of the economy
effected by the government in doing
its work under certain conditions.
The lowest offer for moving earth
work for this dam was 36 cents per
cubic yard The actual cost of doing
the work during the month of March,
1907, when labor conditions were not
particularly favorable and the wealth
er was raw, shows that the total cost
to the government was less than is
cents per cubic yard, or less than one
half of the lowest bid received This
includes what is known as the over
head charge, that is the cost of the
equipment and getting the material on
the ground.
While this result is somewhat ex-
ceptional, the results justify the stand
taken by the Secretary Of the Interior
at various times IN refusing TO accept
bids which appear to be high and in
ordering the work done by the compe~
tent engineers on the ground Most of
these men have been selected with ref
erence TO their experienc and ability
in handling work, and under the present
conditions in the west are more COM
Petent to carry on work economically

have to provide for extraordinary
emergencies which must be considered
