ROUND BORE
FOR MINES
FRENCH CREEK MINING COM.
PANY INVESTIGATING CLAIMS
OF RECENT INVENTION.
Mach'ne Capable of Driving Six-Foot
Cylindrical Tunnel Sixteen Feet
in Twenty-Four Hours Through
Ordinary Rock, Leaving Tunnel
Secure Without Timbering.

There was a business meeting last
night of the trustees of the French
Creek Mining company in this city,
William Story, John Crooks and w.
H. Peabody being present. The trus-
tees disposed of the routine business
on hand and commenced preparations
for the resumption of work on the
tunnel of the company in the French
creek mining district, where seven
claims are owned. The company is
disposing of some treasury stock, the
proceeds to be used in developing the
veins known to exist on the claims.
Examining Harms Machine.
Among the matters taken up was
the probability of the installation of
one of the Utah Harms Tunneling Ma
chine company's tunneling machines,
an invention destined, if the claims
OF the company are made good, to rev
o%lutionize tunnel mining in the noun.
tains of the west. The machine, &C
cording to the representations of the
company, will push a circular bore six
feet in diameter at the rate of sixteen
feet a day through most any kind of
rock, leaving the bore round and
smooth and in ordinary rock making
it unnecessary to timber the tunnel.
Water Power Available.
To add to it's other redeeming fea-
lures, one of these machines placed
in the French Creek company's tun-
mel could be driven by power gen
Grated from the falls of French creek,
which passes within 200 yards of the
mouth of the tunnel, where power
equal to several hundred horsepower
could be developed and communicated
to the machine.
The Matter of Cost.
John Crooks. in discussing the mat
ter this morning, declared that, if the
work could be done at the same price
per foot as that now paid for hand
work, it would be cheap in the end, as
it is sometimes a days work to pene'
trate a foot or two through the rock,
The round tunnel would provide room
for a track for the ore cars and at the
anne time a splendid drain for the
overflow water. Water is used in
large amounts in working the machine
and this would flow away under the
track without the necessity of digging
a channel for it. The probability is
that the French Creek company will
install one of the machines.

Some time ago charges were pre-
ferrei against M. C. Barrow as re
ceiver of the Douglas land office by
R. F. Potter, and as soon as Mr.. Bar.
row heard Of the charges he sent for
an inspector. The inspector came and
checked up the office thoroughly and
he found a shortage of nearly 5000,
which had occurred several years
back. AS 500 as the amount of the
shortage was known, Mr.. Barrow
promptly paid over the money, and
Monday he received notice hat an
other man would take his place, and
it is understood that Sam Slaymaker
of Douglas will be the man.

be secuted this afternoon, and also
there may be another wedding pro

quick, however, and no one can tell
what an hour may bring forth.
Atmosphere of Doubt.
There was more or less of an atmos-
phere of uncertainty in the court room
as the hour for resuming the Thaw
trial approached. The reports which
had held over from yesterday to the
effect that there might be a further
wedding of the jury were again in cir
culation as the eleven men now upon
the trial panel filed in to take their
places ia thr jury box.
Talesmen Crowd the Room.
The court room was crowded with
talesmen, the new fourth panel of 100
having reported and about sixty re-
naming of the panel which reported
yesterday. Some of the talesmen
found their way into the seats reserved
for the Thaw family, but they were
routed out when Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
and May Mackenzie arrived, shortly
before 1890 o'clock.

BRONCO BUSTER
REPORTED DEAD

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. ga let
ter received here by George S. Walker.
secretary of the state sheep board,
from man signing himself as Ed
Thorp, states that Harry Brennan, the
champion bronco buster, was recently
drowned in the Yellowstone river
Brennan, according to the letter, was
riding an outlaw horse across the
stream when the animal became ugly
and threw its rider. The horse was al
so drowned. Brennan's body has not
been recovered.
Mr.. Walker considers it rather
strange that if Brennan was drowned
news of the fact has not reached the
public before this. Mr.. Walker does
not know who Thorp is. Thorp signs
himself as an old friend of Brennan,
and says he wants friends of the dead
man in Colorado and Wyoming to
know of his fate.

MANY ENTRIES
FOR HALEIWA

From the number of entries which
have been made for the White Rock
tournament which takes place next
Sunday at the Haleiwa links, there
should be an unusually interesting
match. AS a rule the golf players put
off entering for this event till the last
moment and it is seldom that more
than four or five entries are on the
hist at this time in the week. At pres
ent, however, there are fifteen entries
and today and Friday morning should
add materially to this number. The
list will close Friday noon at E. 0.
Hall & Sons. OF the fifteen entries,
nine are from the Waialua section,
which shows the interest now being
taken in golf in that district, There
should be at least forty players in the
tournament on Sunday. The entries
