BEGINNING AND PROGRESS OF THE WATER SNAKE.

1t is noteworthy that the scheme of commerciaizng the waters o. the
Passaic watershed by a private company originated with a Passac County
Senator who aterward was thu president of the East Jersey Water Com
pany when that corporation had attained its primary objects. Bill after bill
was introduced lin the Legislature, N Tho earliest of them were defeated be-
cause of their character But by clever tricks of legislation, and by using
the leverage of the Newark water contract the water monopohsts got a Sc
cure hold and have been enrenchng themselves yer since. John Bartlett,
representing these men,, proposed a contract with New York to supply the
lower section of the city with Passaic water from a reservoir to be located at
Upper Montclafr. and he and his associates were prepared to drain the upper
lie officials in this State Sc diIoyal to the State and Indifferent to the welfare
of it's people that they actually Endorsed Bartetts scheme, which, however.
came to naught. But the East Jersey Water Company has noumshedi it and
prepared to carry it out IN a larger scale. The immense pipes the company
has laid from Little Falls to Bayonne, ready to rios the XIII Won Kn, are
evidence Oft that preparation The state has baked the companys designs
thus far. A Passac County Senator procured the passage by the Senate of
the extraordinary bill sadding upon the State and a Large part of East Jer-
sey a COST Of from ten to twenty millions for a vast reservoir, the bulk of
the water mpounded being intended for sale to New York when the East
Jersey Water Company crosesth the XIII Won Kun with its big pipes

CRY COUNSEL. COUNTY OFFICERS AND GRAND JURY.

The Newark public will awaitw with deep interest the outcome of the strang
Ind puecedent situation developed on Saturday in III Indictment Of City
Counsel James r. Nugent by the retiring grand jury, and the prompt arrest,
on the charge Of criminal conspiracy by the city counsel, Of Sheriff Somner,
Acting County Prosecutor Mott and Benjamin H. Atha, foreman oft he grand
jury. One extraordinary proceeding provoked the other. If tn Sheriff I'M
Prosecute possessed sufficient proofs of gutIt "a a duty to lay them before
the grand jury. If City Counsel Nugent is innocent of The charge, IL he
had evidence of a conspiracy, his duty to himself, Is well as to the munich
pahty he represents left him n other course to pursue. The situation
IS complicated by the official duties of the county officers. since the Sher-
lift draws the grand iuies and the Prosecutor advises them I'M posecutes
easesu under indictments and necessarily they would in the regular discharge of
their duties la their WI casesw within thhc control The April Grand Jury
chosen by Sheriff Sommer will be convened tomorow.

KICKING THE BUCKET.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star:

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
What is the origin of the phrase '"To
kick the bucket" meaning ito die?''
A. S. p.
1.-THE origin of this phrase is said to
allude to the way a slaughtered pig is
held up by a bent piece of wood, tech
nically called a bucket" being fas-
tened behind the tendons Of its hind
legs in order to suspend the carcass.
Other authorities assert that Kicking
the bucket originated from a method
of committing suicide by standing on a
bucket while adjusting the moose, and
then kicking the bucket away.-Ed.1

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
What special privileges accompany
the possession of a stock exchange seat !?
IGNORANT.
IA seat on the exchange simply means
that the owner is a member of the
Stock Exchange, n is privileged to
deal on the floor in the purchase and
sale of stocks, either in fact of by mar
gins. 1t is a very valuable privilege, as
the membership is limited. When a
member fails he has a right to sell his
membership, or when he dies, his heirs
have a right to sell it. Single seats have
been sold for thousands of dollars.-Ed. !

MORALES. July S.-The Estrella
 Mining and Smelling company, a corporation organized at Nogales nearly two years ago, owning a valu- able gold property at Los JanOs, a point on the road to Las Chispas and about thirty-five miles eastward from Querobabi station on the line of the
 Sonora railway, the affairs of which company have become complicated, are engaged in strengthening out their matters with a view to resump- ton of operations in the immediate future. In May the stockholders held
 meeting at NOgales and effected q reorganization, electing a new board of directors and new officers.
 A meeting of the Mexican corpOr- ation has been called and arrange ments are in hand for strengthening out the titles. with the acquisition of additional ground. All that will be accomplished within few weeks, and everything will be ready then to begin operations. Arrangements have been made Il Kansas City for financ- | ing the enterprise. and there is every prospect for starting it off on a solid, substantial basis. The Estrela con pany owns very valuable properties, wherein considerable work done al ready has exposed a goodlly showing
 of gold ores that will be worked prof. 1 itably. and there are in the lodges some ore that will pay to ship.

OLD P|CACHO . \ MINE MITIHI .MIIIII h h
 BIT IF HISTORY
Crushing Capacity of Mill ESti- mated at 1000 Tons Daily. Ore Bodies Extensive, But Detached and Low Grade.

The old Picacho mine. located just across the Colorado river, about 25 miles above Yuma, is again to take on a new lease of life. By many it will be remembered that this property has been worked off and on for fifty or more years, at first on very small scale, but later on a scale of mann moth proportions. A mill capable Of crushing a thousand tons of ore a day was put in with cyaniding tanks m proportion. The ore is low grade but lies in yass detached bodies frequent ly fifty or more feet in thickness. Two years ego work on the property was discontinued and a reorganiza- tion of the company effected. This reorganization had nothing to do with the mine proper but had in view the elimination of the drones in the company This done it is now sup posed to be in readiness to resume.
 The company operating the mine before this one was financed by H. G. Blaisdel. He missed success only by one of those unfortunate circum- stances by which one man cannot see further into the ground than another. On one claim known as the Apache" AuI AllllS NOIh Hctu DC-A lOIt duG Blaisdei determined to explore it. With this end in view he sunk shaft 65 feet deep end then drifted 90 feet from it at the bottom. Finding no ore he moved his machinery across the river, while the little stars twink led in the sky and abandoned the property. It then came into posses sion of the present company and the -rA-.H- claim was recommended, not, hOwev- CT, before much work hd been done elsewhere and the Apache was again turned to: as a sort Of forlorn hope After carefully examining the ground it was determined to continue the 'Blaisdell drift, at the bottom of the 65 foot shaft, and the strange part of il is that the very first shot put in the face of the drift exposed a body of ore more than fifty feet thick and of an unusually high grade. But one more drill hole under the BlaizdelI regime and the history of the Picacho would have been differently written Probably he has since felt like the Marysville ITishman who sold a mine under similar conditions. and on a nearby discovery being made by his SuNCGaSUfS, Ss1lO- SDuEp l Will never sell another mine till l go a foot fur ther down."
 The mine proper is about three miles from the Colorado river and through error of judgment the big mill was located near the water and the ore trammed to it from the mine Now the mill is to be moved to the mine and water from the river pumped to it This will not only save expense in the transportation of ore but will avoid expense of trackage, and this amounts to considerable, due to destruction of the road by semi. tropical floods to which that section of country is occasionally subject.
 The starting up of the Picacho means much to the town of Yuma Generally about 400 men are em- ployed and as Yuma is the nearest point on the railroad. all of the sup plies are drawn and the business of the company done at that place. Mir. Moody, superintendent under the old company, will continue in charge of the plant.

 NEW YORK, July 3.-The volume of trading was the smallest today in a great many years and most that can be said of the session is that prices held firm. There was a fair demand for Shelters and the Steel issues, but otherwise the list had a neglected appearance and a great many standard issues were not quoted There was no news of importance and transactions were mostly profession .al. The call of the treasury for forty five million of government deposits did not affect money rates. The strength of the market during this period of dulIness seems to indicate that any favorable factor will result in sharp advances, but nothing more than a scalping market is looked for during the next few weeks.

NEW SHAFT AT SAVAGE
 IS NOW DOWN 1OO FEET
Good Progress Made With the Power DTiIIS-TWo Men Put
 on by w. P, Wright,

BENSON, July 3.--By the aid of two IngeTsoll-Rand electric aid drills, operated by two shifts. progress is be ing made in sinking the new Savage shaft, which has now reached a depth of about 100 feet
 F During the past few days the air i'll the bottom of the shaft has not been good, the blower not being large enough. evidently. to supply q quantity of fresh air sufficient for the needs of two men. Hence it has been found necessary to order a larger blower; and when this arrives and is installed, it is believed there will be no further -hindrance of this kind.
 Of course ore is not being sought at the present time. Depth is what the company is now striving for. A vertical shaft is to be sunk as rap idly as possible to the 5Oth level, re gardless of ore.
