The bill now in Congress provid-
ing for issue of thirty million dollars
in certificates to raise funds for
completing the projects OF the Re-
clamation Service which are now
up for want of money, is being
watched with close attention by
the people of Oregon, Washington
and Idaho, because much of the
money, if Congress consents to
raise it, will be spent in those three
states. The bill has already pass
ed the Senate and is in the hands
of the lower house, which will pro-
badly act upon it within the month.
During the past two or three
years the Reclamation Service has
planned and begun some of the
largest irrigation projects yet I'M
dertaken in the west, and in most
every case has been prevented from
completing them by lack of funds
For example, toe irrigated area
of Klickitat and Yakima counties
in Eastern Washington will be
doubled if the projects already
under way are completed. Similar
conditions exist in all the North
western states. The delegations in
Congress from these states are all
devoting much energy toward get
ting the $3O,OOO,000 bill through
Congress. The wealth of the three
states will be increased by much
more than the amount expended il
the bill passes, while other parts u
the West will receive similar help

James J. Hill. the guiding gem
JUS OF the Great Northern Railroad
has not yet given up the active
management of the affairs of that
road, and he will start west some
time this month to inspect the
Great Northern line through the
Cascades, and decide on improve
ments which will make repetition
of the blockades of this season and
the Wellington disaster impossible.
Millions of dollars will be spent
this summer to snowshed the line
between Wellington aud Horseshoe
tunnel, a distance of ten miles
known as the "high-lins" and ex
posed to snowslides. The vaterar
railroad builder will personally
lay plans for the improvements.

Superintendent Herwig, OF the
Anti-Saloon League in Idaho, has
issued call for an anti-saloon con-
gress, to be held at Boise in May,
which will determine the plans OF
the next years reform campaign
in Idaho, and will also be the
occasion for gathering of dry"
workers from Washington and Ore
gon cities. A vigorous campaign
is to be pushed in Idaho during
the summer and fall from the
opponents of the saloon, with view
to getting favorable action from
the, next legislature. In Washington
the trustees of the anti-saloon
movement met in Seattle last week
and voted to conduct a campaign
for county unit amendment to
the local option law. They will
also ask for law making manu-
facture AS well as the sale of liquor
illegal in dry" communities.

Change IN OWNERS
OF P|OCHE MINES

Some interesting movements are TAX
ing place in the Phoebe mineral proper
ties at this time, about which the pub
lie has heard very little. The renewed
activity in some of the stocks Of this
section has brought to light some deals
which promise to result in a change of
ownership in properties that have been
developed to the ore contemporaries
that can be counted upon to produce
heavily, as quick as arrangements have
been completed for smelling the output.
In this connection the most interesting
move is in the shares of Prince Con-
solidated. This is the prime favorite
of the Godbe syndicate and since the
owners first opened up the large de-
posits of ore in this property, it is
known that some large investors have
had an eye on the property. They are
men who have already become inter-
ested in Phoebe and the neighboring
region, but up to the present time none
Of the mines has developed so rapidly
as the Prince. The Goddess have con-
tended all along that they had one of

FLORENCE KEEPS
UP GOOD RECORD

Everything is progressing In about
the usual way at the Florence, the
mine and mill both maintaining a sat
isfactory performance, says the Gold
field Tribune. The mill is handling
$50 tons of ore per day, the average
values being above $50. A heavy ton
mage is being extracted from the old
Reilly lease, where a large body of
very good ore has been under develop
ment for some time. While high grade
spots are frequently found through
the mass, the general run of values is
not Of a sensational character. Other
portions of the mine are making a nor
NAL production.
Enlarging and retimbering of the
main shaft is proceeding nicely, an av-
erage of one set a day being accom-
plished. The work has been completed
to within about 125 feet of the collar
Of the shaft, and Manager Lawrence
expects to have the entire job finished
by the close of September. This will
give the Florence one of the best
three-compartment shafts in the camp
to a depth of 500 feet. and it will be
sunk as rapidly as possible to a depth
Of 1000 feet. New levels will be es.
tablished at 600 and 700 feet and the
ore reserves opened without loss of
time, thus putting the Florence in bet
ter condition than it has ever been I'M
der company operations. Additional
levels will be opened each 100 feet as
sinking advances.
All preparations have been made for
sinking with an auxiliary engine I'M
derground until charging the shaft II
completed, but this work is handicap
ped by lack of capacity of the mali
air line on which eighteen machine
drills are now hitched up in other
work. AS soon as a new line can b,
run down the shaft, sinking will be re
sumed for opening the rich reserves
that are known to exist below the pres
ent lowest levels.
