Both mining companies are doing

not varied much. Work is being pusa-
ed at the Irish Mag to connect with
the shaft the ore cave recently found
on the 500 level. but this connection
must be made before much can be
done toward exploring the cave.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 1O.-The
Northwest is in a grip of the worst
blizzard of the winter. Snow has
been falling for twenty-four hours and
it has drifted so badly that railroad
traffic is almost at complete stand
still and telegraph service is seriously
hampered
Railroad traffic has been more ser
iously impeded by the storm than in
twenty-four years. Not one train was
moving in South Dakota this morning
and the great majority of the trains
were blocked between Western Min
nesota and Western Montana.
According to weather bureau re
ports the snow will continue until late
tonight and will be followed by sud
den drop in the temperature to fifteen
to eighteen below zero. The snow
had drifted so badly in the country
districts of Minnesota that school was
held in but few districts.
A head-on collision between Two
Wisconsin Central trains occurred
near Jewell, MINI, this morning in

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Feb. 6.-After
an interesting debate, in which a num-
Der of speakers for both sides APP
peared, the state Committee on Mu-
nicipal affairs Friday concluded to set
tie the Summertown charter squabble
by agreeing to abide the result of an
election. The election will be held
during the racess, and both sides
claim to be confident of victory.
Mr.. E. L. Gregory spoke for the bill
and Mr.. o. L. Grain, merchant,
against the measure. An interesting
contest developed for and against the
bill, showing that both sides have
strong followings, many on both sides
being present. 1t was suggested by
the Chairman that the matter be de-
cided by local municipal election and
the representative of both factions
enthusiastically acquiesced in this.
On motion of Senator Howse the com
mittee deferred action on the bill un-
til after the legislative recess pend
ing such an election. Much excite
ment was manifested by both elements
and all seemed gleeful and confident
over the prospects of the coming cleo
ton.
The committee also recommended
for passage a bill authorizing MT.
