BLUE CLOUD GULCH
EXCITEMENT
PLACER WORKINGS NEAR HEl.
ENA LOOKS AGAIN LIKE
olD-TlME CAMP.

Helena. Aug. 25.-A strike made by
Fisk and Potter. who are placer min
ing in Blue Cloud gulch. four miles
west of Helena, has caused great c.
citement among old-time placer min
crs and has caused Il stampede III
many of the Old-time placer gulchcs
in this vicinity. Old ground is being
relocated and options are being taken
on patented ground. and the indica-
tions are that there will he n revival
on big scale in placer mining about
Helena.
The men secured an option on 400
acres of ground which was considered
worked out. and then drove a shaft a
distance of - feet through what was
thought to be bedrock. \ new gravel
bar was found below and it ran from
10 To Is cents Il pan, Several nuggets
We're also found. The men believe
that when they reach bedrock the val
ues will be very high. and old placer
miners predict they will clean up Il
million dollars.

As soon as the pans and specifica-
tinns can be printed. bids ON the work

new work will he gotten under way.
And it is anticipated that ere that
segment Of the general plan is COM
plctcd money will be available for
other buildings So that workmen may
be kept constantly at work ON the new
post until it Is completed.
The work for which new contracts
are to be let includes two double sets
of non commissioned officers quar-
tcrs. which will cost not less than
10000: wagon sheds To cost about
$4,000. and a quartermaster's stable
which will cost about $4,000.
When these and the buildings now

SO that within a short time the walls

Shielded from business cares. barred

Just as the country eagerly read

temporary, and was followed by even
greater declines a. trading continued.
and by noon nearly all active stocks
wer" off from pig to points.
Rear operators made capital of his

Substantial gains were recorded as

possibility. many pick Judge Robert :.

Lovctt Is a native of Texas. where he
was born ~ years ago. After enter

became general counsel for the South

MONEO TO DENVER TO
TESTIFY.

Denver, Aug. 2j.-Thc contention of
the department of agriculture that ben
zuate of soda. used as a prcservativc
in thousands of food products, is not
harmful to the public, will be defend
ed here tomorrow by an array of
chemical experts.
Secretary of Agriculture James Will

atcd by President Roosevelt in the lat
ter part of his term to decide upon
disputed points in the enforcement OF
the federal pure food laws. They will
appear before the convention of the
Association of State and National
Food and Dairy Departments tomor-
row to rciterate their findings that
henznate of soda is not harmful when
used in small quantities on the other
hand. in the association, which is
composed of food commissioners and
expert chemists from every state In
the Union. there is faction which
asserts that the experiments made by
the Remsen board should not be ac-
cepted as conclusive. and the question
whether benZoate is not harmful when
taken constantly in the many foods In
which it is used is still an open one.
]. Q. Emery. food commissioner of
Wisconsin. and president of the as
socation, has openly opposed Secre-
tary Wilson and the Remsen board.
He asserts that there is no need for
any kind of chemical preservatiyes in
food products.
After the Remsen board members
speak, a special committee. appointed
by President Emery. is to give its
opinion of the boards findings. 1t
was reported tonight that some Of the
members of this committee had de-
cided to accept Secretary Wilson's at
titude as against the anti -benzo-

SURVEYORS ON THE MiSSOUlA
CUTOFF OF THE NORTHERN
PACIFIC FINISH.
Gross -sectionina Crew Arrives at

Large Quantities of Ties Indicates
That Actual Construction Work Is
Not Far in the Future.

Special to The Daily Mtss"niian.
Spokane. Aug. 25.-Enginc"r North

of tho Northern Pacific which have
been ut WORK on the Missoula cut t-ofi
in the Bitter Root district. has closed
the last remaining gap lying between
the survey parties working from the
Missoula and kooskia ends of the
line. He is now in charge of final To-
cation work for the cutoff.
\ cross -sectioning crew arrived at
Eooskia yesterday. and this force OF
men will be put to work at once cross
scctioning the route as rapidly as per-
manent location lines are established
by the locating squad.
Large shipments of ties arriving
daily at Kooskia are taken to indicate
an early commencement of actual con-
structinn work on that end of the pro-
posed line.
The report that the q. +. & \. sur
Veyors have been withdrawn from the
Clearwater country proves to be un-
founded. The surveyors are still at
work On a line more or less parallel
to the Northern Pacific line.
The completion of the last gap In
the proposed Mss"ula cutoff survey
is taken to mean that definite loca-
tinn work and. within a short time,
actual construction work on the line.
will be commenced from both ends of
the proposed road.
The contract for the construction of
that part of the line through the Lolo
pass having been let. it is expected
now. almost any day. that news of
the commencement of actual construc-
tion in that vicinity will be received,

Sasily prove fatal. The fracture was
feduced as much as possible and an
Examination for other injuries was
made Aside from some scratches on
the hand and the broken wrist. no
Hther injuries could be discovered. In
khe opinion of DIR. Turman the fraC-
lure of the skull was caused by blow
from some heavy, blunt instrument,

result of Sans falling upon it. and
mot from n blow. as there were no
